Chapter 21

Because they didn't know when Kakashi would come, Kazuki asked Sasuke to live with the Gekko Clan temporarily.

But unexpectedly, Kakashi came early the next morning.

At this time, Kakashi didn't seem to be as lazy and unpunctual as he was later. At least when facing a task, Kakashi was still very serious.

Hatake Kakashi first went to find the person who issued the task, Gekko Himan, and then came to Kazuki.

"Are you Gekko Kazuki?"

"It's me."

"Hatake Kakashi, I will be responsible for teaching you how to practice the nature changes of fire and lightning chakras."

"Um."

"And who is he?"

"My friend, is it okay to let him watch from the side?"

Kakashi looked at Sasuke and felt that he looked familiar. Especially those eyes—it seemed that he had seen them somewhere before.

"It doesn't matter, even if you want to learn together."

It stands to reason that teaching two people should charge double the money, but money doesn't mean anything to Kakashi. In these years in the Anbu, he has earned enough money that he can't spend in his lifetime.

"In that case, you can just teach him!" Kazuki suddenly said excitedly.

Kakashi: "??"

Sasuke: "??"

Seeing the two of them confused, Kazuki found an excuse and said, "I'm a genius. I can learn it just by watching you practice."

Kakashi was speechless, but he couldn't do whatever Kazuki thought. This was his mission, so he would definitely complete it strictly.

"No, I can let him learn, but I can't let you not learn. If you don't learn, I will consider it a termination of the mission, and I will not teach you, nor can I teach him."

Looking at Kakashi's serious face, Kazuki was helpless. Why is this guy so rigid?

"Got it, got it. I'll learn from you."

"Yeah."

Kakashi responded indifferently, and then said to the two, "Come with me, we are going to another training ground to practice."

Kazuki and Sasuke followed Kakashi to a desert next door. This so-called training ground was no longer within the scope of Konoha!

"It's too hot here!"

Kazuki was as frustrated as a puppy sticking out its tongue. Sasuke didn't make an exaggerated expression like him, but the sweat between his eyebrows also showed that he was not feeling well.

Kakashi ignored their emotions and asked, "Have you all taken chakra test strips?"

The task was to teach Kazuki the changes in the nature of chakras in Fire and Lightning Release. It is a bit redundant to ask this question. After all, who would spend so much money to hire a tutor if they don't have chakra of this attribute? But Kakashi still asked with his rigorous character.

"I've tested it, and he doesn't have it."

Kazuki pointed at Sasuke and said, "But I think he must have these two types of chakra."

Kakashi didn't want him to think, and directly took out two test strips from his waist.

"Input chakra."

Although Kazuki felt that this was unnecessary, he didn't say anything. It was not a big deal anyway. Instead of wasting time arguing, it was better to test it again.

Kazuki and Sasuke inputted their chakra into the test paper, and soon two situations occurred. Half of the test paper burned, and the other side became wrinkled.

"Fire attribute, Lightning attribute..."

Kakashi was a little surprised that both of them had dual-attribute chakra. Such a coincidence? Although it was unexpected, Kakashi did not think much about it and directly began to formulate the first step of the training plan.

"Have you ever learned Fire and Lightning Ninjutsu?"

"Learned Fire Release Ninjutsu."

"Then show me your best Fire Style."

"Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"

Kazuki and Sasuke released Ninjutsu together; two huge fire dragons soared in the sky, and finally fell to the ground and exploded!

Kakashi: "..."

"B-level ninjutsu?"

B-level ninjutsu is already considered a high-level ninjutsu! In other words, Sasuke and Kazuki actually have at least a certain understanding of the nature changes of fire attribute chakra, otherwise, they would not be able to learn this ninjutsu.

"The training of fire attribute chakra is divided into three stages, but it seems that you have already completed the first two stages without realizing it. The third stage is to combine fire attribute chakra with techniques to create new ninjutsu. You can choose to practice this training."

Having said that, Kakashi still tested the two's control over fire attribute chakra. First is the first stage, burning! Kakashi got them two piles of hay from nowhere and asked them to release chakra to ignite them. This test was naturally a piece of cake for the two. The dry grass piles caught fire! It burned out in a short while.

The firelight was reflected on Kazuki's face, and the heat made him look up at the sun in the sky. "In this horrible weather, even without chakra to ignite it, this pile of hay will ignite itself, right?"

The second stage is to release a more powerful flame. Unlike the ninjutsu released by hand seals, what Kazuki and Sasuke have to do is to release as much chakra as possible, and then ignite this Gobi Desert!

Without using the technique, Sasuke is obviously not used to releasing a large amount of fire attribute chakra. Kazuki, on the other hand, easily ignited hundreds of meters of desert. He was a hundred times more proficient in controlling chakra than Sasuke!

No ignition is needed. Chakra is released from Kazuki's body, floating in the air and burning itself, creating a powerful flame! The dry desert is as terrible as a mountain of fire!

Kakashi also discovered the situation of the two, and gave Kazuki a simple instruction, asking him to think about how to combine fire attribute chakra with techniques and hand seals, and then went to teach Sasuke. Sasuke's chakra is not enough, and under Kakashi's strict teaching, it took only a few minutes to use up all his chakra!

"You take a rest first, and think about how to combine fire chakra with the technique. I'll go see Kazuki."

In the shadow of the desert, Kazuki did not listen to Kakashi's words and concentrate on the development of Fire Release ninjutsu, but took a nap here to enjoy the cool. So when Kakashi found him, his whole face was black.

"Gekko Kazuki!"

"Ah~" Kazuki yawned and looked at Kakashi with sleepy eyes, "What's wrong?"

What's wrong? You ask me what's wrong? I asked you to study hard, but you were dozing off? Do you really think you are invincible just because you are a genius?

"Even if you are a genius, if you don't work hard, you will be surpassed by others sooner or later." Kakashi said meaningfully. In his opinion, Sasuke is very hardworking and talented. He can learn B-level Fire Release ninjutsu at the age of ten.

Now Kazuki seems to have a higher talent and has surpassed Sasuke temporarily, but in time, Sasuke will definitely surpass Kazuki!
