Chapter 5: Kakashi's Challenge (Edited)

When Yeruashi was about to continue practicing, he suddenly felt something and looked at the high fence surrounding the backyard, saying, "Looks like you've developed the habit of not using the front gate."

At the outer fence a familiar figure with the same silver-white hair and a mask appeared, and it was none other than Kakashi Hatake.

"No, I just came back from this side."

Kakashi jumped from the high fence into the courtyard.

In a detailed comparison, Kakashi is not much different from Yeruashi, he only has the longer hair, the mask and the low growth.

Kakashi looked seriously at Yeruashi and said, "Brother, as you expected, the situation between the villages is getting more and more tense, and lately the missions consist of blocking and investigating the movements of the ninja of other villages..."

"Right."

After hearing Kakashi's words, Yeruashi had no surprise.

After all, since he came to this world, and aside from changing a small part of things in the ninja school, he wasn't having any effect on the direction of the world, and with the general trend, next year was destined to be the year when the Third Ninja War broke out.

"Wouldn't it be better to apply for an early dismissal? You won't learn anything at the Academy."

Kakashi looked at his older brother.

The onlookers might not know it, but he is well aware of how strong his older brother is, at least until now, he had never been able to defeat Yeruashi!

After advancing to Chuunin last year, he immediately challenged Yeruashi, but once again he was defeated, his speed is too abnormal!

Besides.

Yeruashi is not only strong, but also extremely intelligent, he is only one year older, but often his perception and understanding of the situation are not inferior to adults.

Yeruashi looked at Kakashi and smiled, saying, "It's true that I won't learn anything at the Academy, but I have more free time to practice ... by the way, were you able to access the techniques we discussed earlier?"

Kakashi already has the rank of Chuunin and can access a much larger amount of Jutsu than him, Yeruashi learned a lot of Jutsu from his younger brother, moreover, he asked Kakashi to pay close attention to two techniques.

Hachimon Tonko and Hiraishin no Jutsu.

Yeruashi is determined to get Hachimon Tonko, as for Hiraishin, why not practice this technique, if possible, it would be an incomparable ninjutsu that will save his life, but if not, it should not be a big disappointment, for someone who is able to manipulate time, the appeal of the space technique is not too great.

"These methods are written in the forbidden Jutsus scroll, how can I access them so easily...?"

Kakashi rolled his eyes.

Although he is already a Chuunin and can access Jutsus like Kage Bunshin no Jutsu and many other regular ninjutsu, gaining access to Hachimon Tonko, Hiraishin and other ninjutsu entered in the Scroll of Forbidden Jutsu is still very difficult.

"Sooner or later, the opportunity will appear."

Yeruashi wasn't too worried about this, when Kakashi becomes a Jounin, it will be much easier to access the Seal Scroll, but in the anime, Kakashi became Jounin at the age of twelve, maybe Yeruashi will make it sooner.

After all, next year he will be forced to graduate from the Academy and participate in the war, there will no longer be a chance to hide his abilities, he will have to do his best in the face of numerous dangerous situations.

Kakashi shook his head and said "...How can you stand all this?"

After his father committed suicide because he couldn't stand the villagers' criticism, it had a great impact on Kakashi, he couldn't tolerate these strange opinions of the villagers and did his best to show his talent. After graduating from the Academy at five and advancing to Chuunin at six, no one else looked at him that way.

And Yeruashi continued step by step to study at the Ninja Academy, which contrasted with the six-year Chuunin, this was often said in the village.

But Kakashi was well aware that Yeruashi surpasses him in terms of strength.

However, Yeruashi completely ignored any gossip, continued to study quietly at the Academy and didn't even mention an early graduation.

Yeruashi sighed and said, "You still don't understand..."

The famous White Fang of Konoha, who received great military services during the Second Ninja World War, could such a ninja deserve such a harsh condemnation from everyone in Konoha just because of a failed mission?

Shots fired!

In his previous life, he wasn't sure, but after coming to this world and personally going through him incident, Yeruashi clearly realized that such a development was probably instigated by some high-ranking Konoha official.

The Sandaime Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, maintained complete silence at that moment, otherwise, only a few of his words could greatly mitigate the consequences of the mission's failure, not to mention the fact that Sakumo failed the mission due to the desire to save his comrades.

Although Yeruashi could not understand the specific situation, he could assume that Danzo had something to do with it, because Sakumo was threatening his plans.

Given Sakumo's authority and strength, in the future he might have become the leading candidate for the position of the Fourth Hokage, most likely this was the reason for Danzo's actions.

After Sakumo's death, Danzo, of course, pays close attention to Kakashi and Yeruashi, now there is no problem, even if Danzo wants to drag Kakashi to the Root, Hiruzen would definitely not allow it.

But if he will also show his incredible talent, it would be a different story.

Knowing Danzo's character, that bastard will find a million reasons and excuses to convince Hiruzen to hand over one of the talented brothers to the Root.

Yeruashi certainly won't join the Root and, naturally, he can't let his younger brother fall into the clutches of this fanatic and master brainwasher, Danzo.

"What don't I understand?"

Kakashi looked puzzled at Yeruashi.

Yeruashi shook his head, not intending to explain this to Kakashi, his younger brother is still too young and impulsive, he shouldn't know about the dark side of Konoha yet.

"Soon..."

Yeruashi thought.

Now it's a tense period before the war, in this situation, he can show strength without much consequences, because now all Danzo's attention should be focused on the actions of other villages, he simply doesn't have time to worry about expanding the Root.

Being a ninja in World War III brings both dangers and opportunities.

During the war, Kakashi will be promoted to Jounin, and he should be able to make it as well, at which point he will have enough status to deal with Danzo's attacks. Even after the end of the war, Danzo will not have the authority to freely lure Jounins from the village to the Root, and Hiruzen would definitely not tolerate it.

As for the development of personal strength during the war, it is not impossible to reach the level of Kage, because he has an amazing ability to manipulate time!

"By the way, how is your training going lately..."

After looking at the stakes placed in the courtyard, Kakashi suddenly turned his head to look at Yeruashi, his eyes shining with fighting spirit.

Although he hadn't won against Yeruashi so far, he never gave up the idea of surpassing him, having the experience of intense missions and constant battles, Kakashi felt that his strength had improved a lot, and if Yeruashi was lazy in his training, maybe this time he would have a chance to win!.

After all, he had never been lazy since he became a ninja, he had been practicing a lot, and had experienced countless real and bloody battles, his strength was always improving!

Yeruashi raised an eyebrow.

Although Kakashi didn't finish the sentence, he understood the meaning of his words perfectly.

"Well, I was just about to see how much you've improved lately."
