Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 487 Uchiha Sasuke: Understanding Akihara Kagura, Learning from Akihara Kagura, Walking Akihara Kagura's Path

Twelve-year-old Sasuke is a bit too arrogant.

Kakashi Hatake had never seen such an arrogant genin, who bluntly compared his opponents in the Chunin Exams to ants he encountered while walking...

After listening to Sasuke Uchiha's argument, Kakashi Hatake's eye twitched involuntarily. He really wanted to find an opportunity to teach Sasuke a lesson...

"Sasuke."

"Your strength is truly something to be proud of."

Kakashi Hatake sighed and looked up at the sunlight filtering through the leaves: "But I want to tell you that the world of ninjas isn't a place where one person can go all the way alone. A ninja who doesn't value their comrades is worse than trash. This time, you, Naruto, and Sakura will all be participating in the Chunin Exams together..."

"I see."

Sasuke Uchiha interrupted Kakashi Hatake, nodding in strong agreement, and said, "From the moment we were assigned to the same team, I was already very certain of one thing: Naruto is a very important comrade to me..."

"..."

Kakashi Hatake had a headache.

What's wrong with this subordinate?

Aside from being a bit arrogant, what else is there to teach him?

Generally speaking, ninjas with strong individual abilities tend to be overly self-centered, viewing their weaker teammates as a burden and never caring about their allies in anything they do. Even Kakashi Hatake himself made this mistake during his youth…

however…

Despite the significant power gap between Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno, he still deeply respected and valued his teammates, even willing to train alongside them…

kind of…

This made Kakashi Hatake unable to understand his mindset.

Sometimes, Sasuke Uchiha behaves in extreme ways, appearing extremely arrogant in his words and actions; at other times, he appears remarkably calm and mature.

no…

What's wrong with you, you little rascal?!

Can't you make some mistakes that young people should make? Talking about your comrades at this time is just dragging us down. Give me a little positive education, at least let me, as a supervising Jonin, have some sense of presence!

"Kakashi-sensei."

Sasuke Uchiha seemed to understand Kakashi Hatake's thoughts perfectly, and said softly, "I've heard that Kakashi-sensei is skilled in Lightning Release ninjutsu. I've only ever used Lightning Release chakra to enhance cell activation and increase my speed. Could you please teach me something about developing Lightning Release ninjutsu...?"

This is something I learned from Akihara Kagura.

If a person wants to use a certain power, they need to make arrangements in advance for that power to be revealed, so that the power becomes traceable.

In the real world, Akihara Kagura excelled at this, even orchestrating numerous conspiracies to exploit the power within him, such as Wood Release, Rinnegan, and Sharingan. This ensured that no one in the ninja world ever suspected his abnormality before the final battle began.

After meeting Karin and Gaara, Sasuke Uchiha realized that he needed to use extra power to defeat some opponents in the Chunin Exams, but he didn't want to attract the world's attention. Therefore, he also needed to learn from Kagura Akihara's style.

no way.

Because there are role models right in front of us.

The path to making one's power appear legitimately in the ninja world has already been fully explored by Akihara Kagura in the real world; all she needs to do is continue along this path.

"They've actually started exploring chakra attributes?"

"Let me see how you use lightning chakra..."

Kakashi Hatake immediately became curious and finally understood the meaning of his role as a Jonin instructor. He was quite confident in his Lightning Release ninjutsu: "At least I have a little bit of skill in Lightning Release ninjutsu..."

"Lightning Release Chakra Mode!"

A powerful burst of chakra suddenly erupted from Uchiha Sasuke's body. The chakra, almost tangible, enveloped his body and gathered into a massive chakra, with arcs of electricity constantly flashing around Uchiha Sasuke!

Uchiha Sasuke swung his arm and punched a large tree next to him, instantly snapping the tree in two!

"A casual strike possesses this level of attack power..."

When Kakashi Hatake saw this scene, his heart skipped a beat!

no…

This technique…

This Lightning Release Chakra Mode…

Why does it look a bit like the Raikage's secret technique from Kumogakure?

Kakashi Hatake recalled that his teacher had once encountered a candidate for Raikage from Kumogakure, who mentioned some things about Kumogakure…

It is said that the Raikage of Kumogakure trains in a ninjutsu technique from generation to generation. By activating the cells in their bodies with lightning chakra, they become extremely fast and their lightning chakra becomes extremely powerful. In addition, the lightning armor covering their bodies with lightning chakra greatly enhances the ninja's defense.

"This is Lightning Release Chakra Mode."

Sasuke Uchiha could only categorize the Lightning Release Chakra Mode as something he developed himself, and he couldn't possibly mention that it was a Raikage's secret technique from Kumogakure: "In this mode, there are extremely high boosts to attack, defense, and speed. The only drawback is that it can only be used in taijutsu combat, and it doesn't feel like it fully utilizes the offensive advantages of Lightning Release Chakra..."

"..."

Kakashi Hatake could only look up at the sky.

This secret technique…

Even I can't control it...

Who gives them the right to come here and talk about how to improve things?

This Lightning Release chakra mode alone is enough for Uchiha Sasuke to hold his own against some well-known ninjas in the ninja world. Did he underestimate his subordinate?

but…

If we just admit it like that...

I'm a Jonin instructor!

That's it.

One chimera shouldn't have any impact.

Teaching this ninjutsu to a disciple at this time is obviously a bit excessive compared to the other genin who participated in the Chunin Exams. However, Sasuke is already strong enough. Teaching Sasuke Chidori in advance makes no difference to Sasuke's power; it's just another way to deal with enemies.

Kakashi Hatake sighed inwardly and made a decision. He slowly closed his palms and began forming hand seals: "I don't have any particularly profound knowledge of Lightning Release ninjutsu. If you want to learn to use Lightning Release techniques for attack, I do have a technique that would suit you well: Lightning Blade, or perhaps Chidori..."

"..."

Correct!

This is it!

Sasuke Uchiha's eyes lit up as he stared intently at Kakashi Hatake as he formed hand seals. He needed the Chidori technique too!

Because he had already developed many ninjutsu using the nature transformation of Chidori in the real world, as long as he could obtain the source of this technique, it would be much easier to fight during the Chunin Exams. At least defeating Karin in this world should not be a problem!

"Raikiri!"

A bolt of lightning suddenly flashed from Kakashi Hatake's palm as he began to explain in detail: "This technique was once named Chidori by me. Its attack power is enough to break through any defense. It is created by refining the lightning-attribute chakra within the body and then supplementing it with the Ox-Rabbit-Monkey hand seals..."

"..."

Uchiha Sasuke quickly clasped his hands together and formed hand seals!

A ball of lightning flashed from the palm of the twelve-year-old black-haired boy, accompanied by a sharp screech!

"..."

Kakashi Hatake's eyes narrowed instantly!

This…

Is that all?

You only glanced at it?

This twelve-year-old kid's talent is just too amazing, isn't it?

"You really are a genius..."

Kakashi Hatake couldn't help but praise it.

Because at least in terms of talent, Uchiha Sasuke truly deserves all the praise.

however…

This time, the boy appeared very humble.

Sasuke Uchiha shook his head, dispelling the Chidori in his hand. He looked up at Kakashi Hatake and said earnestly, "This is because of Kakashi-sensei's teaching. I can feel the immense power of this technique. If I were to accept the so-called title of genius, it would be truly shameless of me. Kakashi-sensei, who developed this technique, is the real genius!"

"This is a time when I should be proud..."

Kakashi Hatake reached out and stroked Sasuke's hair, like an adult looking at a child who would inherit his mantle, and sighed softly, saying, "In front of you, I dare not call myself a genius, Sasuke. You are a genius ninja unlike any I've ever seen..."

"I'm just standing on your shoulders..."

Sasuke Uchiha shook his head, looking at Naruto Uzumaki in the distance: "If I had to say, Naruto is the real genius... Naruto's will will definitely make him an excellent ninja, a perfect ninja like the Fourth Hokage."

"..."

Kakashi Hatake felt that Sasuke was being a little too modest again.

That little rascal!

He's so proud in front of others, but becomes so humble when talking about his companions, acting like a very mature little adult!

If Sasuke Uchiha had just toned down his temper a little in front of others, he would have been a perfect ninja.

"Alright, let's get ready to register."

Kakashi Hatake felt he understood his student better and his impression of him improved, which seemed to bring their teacher-student relationship closer: "If you pass the Chunin Exams soon, I will submit a report for your promotion to Jonin."

in the afternoon.

Registration site for the Chunin Exams.

When Team Seven arrived, the place was already packed with people. Ninjas from various villages had gathered here, discussing the events unfolding.

"Why can't we go in?"

"I don't know..."

"I heard the examiner inside assaulted someone..."

"..."

When Sasuke Uchiha arrived with Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno, they saw a group of genin standing at the door, among whom were three very conspicuous people.

well.

He knew all three of those genin.

Neji Hyuga, a genius ninja from the Hyuga branch family.

In the real world, because of his feud with the main family, he angered Akihara Kagura, and the Hyuga clan lived in constant fear. He succeeded as the third leader of Root and, in order to appease Akihara Kagura's anger, forced the Hyuga main family to carry out a reform.

Rock Lee, a hard-working taijutsu ninja, is a promising pillar of Konoha.

Like himself, Rock Lee was one of the unlucky ones in the Chunin Exams in the real world. Because he talked back to Kagura Akihara, he was arbitrarily disqualified from the exam.

day by day.

This is a female ninja who deserves extreme attention.

Because other ninjas in Konoha either rely on talent or bloodline limits, or on hard work, this girl is a bit unpredictable...

Because this girl is kind-hearted and likes to do good deeds, and has even helped Akihara Kagura, who in the entire ninja world is qualified to help Akihara Kagura!

but…

Tian Tian actually helped.

This even made Akihara Kagura remember this favor.

However, Tenten never paid attention to who she had helped, and naturally did not know that she had helped Akihara Kagura, but Akihara Kagura remembered this matter very clearly.

In the real world, Tenten received Kagura Akihara's secret protection. Because she liked to use ninja tools in battle, after the final battle, Kagura Akihara gifted her many ninja tools left behind by the Sage of Six Paths, placing the title of hero on her head.

"Even bad people can like good people..."

Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but sigh.

Just as Sasuke Uchiha was pondering, he saw the ninja guarding the gate knock Rock Lee of Team 3 to the ground with a single punch. When Tenten saw her teammate being beaten and rushed to break up the fight, she was also punched by the ninja guarding the gate, and the girl's face turned red from the punch...

"..."

Sasuke Uchiha's forehead twitched.

no…

What's going on...?

Is this the third class in this world still using this kind of trick?

Team 3 is no pushover; they could even be considered the strongest team among this batch of participants in the Chunin Exams. In the real world, they would pretend to be weak to lower others' guard, so why do they still like to pretend to be weak in this world?

"Sasuke..."

Sakura Haruno whispered a reminder to Sasuke Uchiha, "This floor has been shrouded in genjutsu. It's not the registration area for the Chunin Exams. It seems like they want to test our genjutsu skills. We can only register after the genjutsu is broken..."

"It doesn't matter."

"Those two people must be the examiners."

Sasuke Uchiha strode forward, picked up Team 7's application form, and handed it to the two examiners: "Hey, these are our application forms, please submit them for us!"

"Hehehe, how naive..."

One of the examiners glanced at Uchiha Sasuke and couldn't help but laugh. He reached out to take the application form and tear it to shreds.

however…

When the examiner inadvertently caught sight of a pair of scarlet Sharingan eyes, he froze, took the application form, and walked upstairs on his own.

"Sharingan!"

A look of surprise flashed across the other examiner's eyes. He quickly raised his hand and punched his colleague, who was under the illusion, to the ground, thus waking his colleague from the illusion!

"You little rascal..."

"They actually used the Sharingan to cast a genjutsu on the examiner..."

After waking his colleague, the examiner gave a wry smile: "I originally intended to test you all with this tactic, but I didn't expect to be tested by you, you little brat..."

"We'll be going now if there's nothing else."

Sasuke Uchiha waved his hand dismissively, about to leave with Sakura Haruno and Naruto Uzumaki: "We're too lazy to go upstairs anymore. Asking you two examiners to submit our application forms shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"You two..."

"I don't think I need to cast any more illusions for you, do I?"

"What an arrogant brat..."

The two examiners nodded reluctantly in agreement, muttering to themselves, "No wonder it's the brat Kakashi recommended..."

"Thank you very much."

Class 7 swaggered away.

A group of genin stared at their departing figures with suspicion and uncertainty.

"etc!"

Rock Lee's figure arced through the air, a stark contrast to his previous cowardly demeanor after the beating. He landed abruptly in front of Class 7, standing firmly before Sakura Haruno, giving her a thumbs-up, and forcing a bright, sunny smile: "I'm Rock Lee, and you're Sakura, right? May I ask if you'll go out with me?!"

"cannot!"

"Your eyebrows are so thick!"

Sakura Haruno's face instantly darkened.

"..."

Lee Rock's expression visibly darkened.

however…

Just one second later...

Rock Lee's fighting spirit was immediately rekindled. He looked at Sasuke Uchiha beside him, and there seemed to be a hint of fighting intent in his eyes.

"Want to challenge me?"

The black-haired boy's face immediately darkened.

How did this unlucky guy manage to find himself again?

"Huh? How did you know?"

A look of surprise appeared on Lee Locke's face.

He didn't want to challenge Sasuke Uchiha here, lest Neji discover his secret of wanting to challenge a genius. However, after Sasuke Uchiha exposed him in an instant, Rock Lee really didn't know how to lie and hide it!

"But... is that alright?"

A pleading look appeared in Lee Rock's eyes.

"cannot."

Sasuke Uchiha waved his hand, not wanting to get entangled with Rock Lee, and started to leave on his own: "I have no interest in fighting you in your current state..."

"But... I'm sorry..."

Rock Lee stood behind Sasuke Uchiha and bowed deeply to him: "I have a compelling reason to fight geniuses like you!"

"I see."

Sasuke Uchiha frowned as he looked at Rock Lee, who appeared very humble and wanted to ask for guidance. He earnestly advised, "However, you've chosen the wrong opponent today..."

Sasuke Uchiha understood Rock Lee's obsession perfectly. This idiotic taijutsu ninja just wanted to challenge him, the so-called genius, thinking that by defeating him, the top student of the Ninja Academy, he could challenge Neji Hyuga, the top student of the previous year...

In the real world...

I did suffer a small loss.

In this world...

Rock Lee's challenge can only be described as asking for trouble.

Even so, I still want your guidance!

Rock Lee stood up straight and made a gesture of asking for guidance with his hands.

"Taijutsu ninjas are such a hassle..."

Sasuke Uchiha exhaled lightly, his body suddenly twisted, and his Lightning Release chakra instantly covered his leg. He kicked Rock Lee directly, his left foot striking Rock Lee's body with lightning speed!

"!!!"

Lee Rock was startled and instinctively raised his arms to defend himself, but was kicked away and sent flying like a cannonball, instantly piercing through the wall of a classroom!

"plum!"

Tian Tian was startled!

Even Hyuga Neji, who was standing next to him, was shocked. Sasuke Uchiha's speed was so fast that even his Byakugan couldn't see it clearly!

All the genin in the corridor witnessed this scene, and a look of horror appeared in everyone's eyes. They had never seen such a taijutsu that could almost kill someone with a single blow!

"This guy... is so strong!"

A group of genin stared at Uchiha Sasuke in disbelief!

Even the two Chunin Examiners standing nearby were startled by Sasuke Uchiha's kick; they had never seen a Genin strike with such ferocity and power before!

"Not just strong..."

A bead of cold sweat appeared on Hyuga Neji's forehead.

Compared to others, Neji Hyuga was Rock Lee's constant companion, and he knew better than anyone just how exceptional Rock Lee's taijutsu was...

even…

Rock Lee was carrying heavy training equipment, which meant that Rock Lee himself was very strong and heavy, but he was still easily kicked away by Sasuke Uchiha, who was so fast that he couldn't even react!

"I didn't hit him hard, take him with you."

Sasuke Uchiha glanced at Tenten, who was checking Rock Lee's injuries in the classroom, and his voice softened, showing none of the arrogance that came with defeating his opponent: "A little bandaging will do the trick, it shouldn't interfere with your class's Chunin Exams..."

"..."

Tian Tian nodded with a surprised expression.

I originally thought Sasuke Uchiha would be very arrogant, but I didn't expect that this genius of the Uchiha clan would be even more gentle than Neji, the genius of the Hyuga clan!

"Truly a genius!"

Rock Lee struggled to his feet, a look of self-deprecating disappointment on his face: "I can feel the gap between us. I could never be a match for a genius like you..."

"..."

Sasuke Uchiha frowned, looking at Rock Lee's dejected expression, feeling somewhat uncomfortable. He said in a deep voice, "That only proves you haven't worked hard enough! I've paid a lot to get to where I am today. To simply describe me as a genius and erase all my efforts is unfair! If you want to surpass me, put in even more effort than I have before you get to me!"

"Absolutely! Absolutely! Absolutely!"

Rock Lee's mood immediately shifted from dejection to excitement.

Outside this building.

Two young men were also watching all of this.

It was Might Guy, the Jonin instructor of Team 3, and Kakashi Hatake, the Jonin instructor of Team 7, who had been watching the fight between their students.

"Kakashi!"

Might Guy gave Sasuke Uchiha a thumbs up, praising him: "Your subordinate is truly a genius, just like you when you were young!"

"Kakashi!"

Matt Kai's voice suddenly became louder, his voice even suppressing a hint of excitement: "My men have found new challenges! Our youth is burning brightly in the next generation! Let's have a passionate battle!"

"don't want."

Kakashi Hatake was practically speechless. He waved his hand, refusing to fight Might Guy. He knew a little about Might Guy and Team 3, and whispered a reminder: "Your subordinate really picked the wrong person. Sasuke right now might not even be a match for me, even if I can use Lightning Blade..."

"!!!"

Matt Kai's face lit up with excitement; he felt his blood boiling. "Then I'll take Lee's place and challenge his future opponent!"

"Hey, hey, hey, calm down..."

Kakashi Hatake, noticing his friend acting strangely, quickly pulled back the somewhat agitated Might Guy: "Sasuke is still a child, but you're a Jonin!"

the other side.

A group of people were also observing all of this from the shadows.

A young, white-haired man wearing glasses stood in the corner with a strange smile on his lips, while two tall, muscular figures stood beside him.

One of the taller genin glanced over and said in a deep voice, "Kabuto Yakushi, that brat named Uchiha Sasuke seems to be quite extraordinary..."

"certainly."

The young man pushed up his glasses, a hint of pleasure in his smile: "After all, to have mastered the Raikage's secret ninjutsu at such a young age is truly unbelievable..."

"..."

The two tall, strong genin didn't quite understand.

Because they didn't know much about the ninja world, they didn't realize just how amazing Sasuke Uchiha's kick that defeated Rock Lee really was. Only Kabuto Yakushi, who had been a spy and liked to collect intelligence, would know how terrifying that kick was!

Just as Kabuto was about to say something more, he saw Sasuke Uchiha, who was about to leave, seem to have noticed his spying and instantly looked over in his direction!

Ok…

Yakushi Kabuto?

When Uchiha Sasuke saw the young white-haired man hiding in the corner, a look of surprise appeared on his face, but then he instantly realized what was going on.

Kabuto Yakushi's appearance in the Chunin Exams isn't really surprising, since the real-world Kabuto Yakushi also participated in that year's Chunin Exams.

"..."

Kabuto lowered his head slightly, casually adjusting his glasses, trying to appear like an ordinary genin under Sasuke Uchiha's gaze, seemingly trying to avoid attracting attention.

"That brat..."

"Your senses are also very sharp..."

"..."

"Yakushi Kabuto..."

Sasuke Uchiha could not forget Kabuto Yakushi's existence. A glimmer of light finally appeared in his eyes, and a confident smile even appeared on his face: "If the opportunity to leave this world lies with certain people..."

Whether it's Karin or Kabuto, they were both the opportunity for me to leave this world!

Because these two people are Akihara Kagura's absolute confidants in the real world, the kind of people she could entrust her life to, even though Akihara Kagura has never encountered any mortal danger...

Based on Sasuke Uchiha's understanding of Kagura Akihara, Kagura would never abandon Karin and Kabuto Yakushi, because these two are too important to Kagura. He even went so far as to separate Kabuto from his grand plans to avoid causing trouble for him!

Kagura Akihara will definitely come into contact with either Kabuto Yakushi or Karin! If she can meet Karin and Kabuto during the Chunin Exams, she will definitely find a way to leave this world!

of course.

It's a bit troublesome.

Because Itachi Uchiha in the real world nearly killed Nono Yakushi, Kabuto Yakushi has always harbored hostility towards the Uchiha clan. It's unknown whether Kabuto Yakushi in this world will also have this tendency...

"Let's find an opportunity to make some contact..."

Sasuke Uchiha pondered to himself, considering how to approach Kabuto Yakushi: "I remember that the person Kabuto respected most was Nono Yakushi, the director of the Konoha Orphanage, and the person he hated most was that guy Danzo Shimura..."

"That guy is practically the same type of person as Akihara Kagura. He's not a bad person most of the time, but his style of doing things is sometimes even more ruthless than Akihara Kagura's. Even someone like Akihara Kagura thinks he's extreme..."

"besides…"

"That Yakushi Kabuto guy just gave that weird smile..."

"It seems like Kabuto Yakushi in this world knows everything. That guy must know the truth about how I came to be in this world. It seems I have to find a secret opportunity to talk to him about this and ask him to tell me how to leave..."
