Revealing Power Level

"Then, you have to train hard. I have become a lot stronger." Menma smiled and replied.

Hearing his word, Naruto giggled and said.

"Don't worry, Menma! I am saving something absolutely stronger for you."

Menma was initially surprised. He didn't expect Naruto to have a powerful trump card.

Because he had been busy with his own life, he didn't have that many contacts with Naruto these days, so he was a bit curious.

"Yes, Menma! If you don't get serious, Naruto will take the win." Kakashi smiled from the side. He was truly happy to see the relationship between Naruto and Menma.

After all, Naruto was his teacher's son. After Menma reminded him, he started taking care of Naruto.

Of course, it wasn't economically supporting him. After all, Naruto was already a ninja so he was able to earn enough.

Instead, he taught Naruto many things and helped him get stronger. As long as he uses his trump card, Sasuke won't be able to win against him despite using Sharingan.

At the same time, Naruto who heard Kakashi shook his head and said.

"Kakashi-sensei, it is not that. I am talking about a different kind of power. I made a promise that I will never use this kind of power against my friends."

"But, Menma is not only my friend but also my rival. So, I will use it in the battle against Menma."

Kakashi who heard Naruto was stunned for a moment. He didn't know what kind of trump card Naruto was talking about anymore.

But, he had a guess. After all, Naruto did say that he will not use this power against his friend. That means it must be a frightening power.

And, there was only one kind of frightening power inside Naruto. And, that was the power of Nine Tails.

It wasn't just him who guessed it. Menma was also able to guess this power.

Kakashi's mood became serious as he asked.

"Naruto, how many people know about this?"

Naruto shook his head and said.

"Except Hinata, nobody knows about it. Originally, I couldn't train this kind of power but one day, Hinata suddenly released a strange power that suppressed my Chakra."

"After that, I usually train with Hinata to control this power."

Hearing his words, Kakashi was surprised but quickly understood the entire situation. He sighed a breath of relief and stared at Naruto with a serious expression.

"Naruto, that kind of power is dangerous. You shouldn't use it alone. What if something happens to you or people near you?"

Menma looked at Naruto with a curious gaze. He was wondering how Naruto will reply. After all, he thought of the same question. If Naruto couldn't control it, it would hurt Hinata.

Knowing that Naruto wouldn't try to hurt her, how could he have so much confidence in training his Nine-Tails Chakra?

Hearing Kakashi's words, Naruto embarrassedly rubbed the back of his head and said.

"Although I haven't become friends with Nine Tails, he no longer tries to take over my body. So, whenever I use Nine Tails' chakra, I just need to make sure that I can handle negative emotions in his Chakra."

"And, with the help of Hinata, the Chakra itself never overwhelms me. So, I can only train this with Hinata."

Hearing his words, Kakashi finally understood why Naruto only trained with Hinata. After all, not to mention him, even Hiruzen won't be able to help Naruto train with Nine Tails' chakra.

The best others could do was to stop if something happens to Naruto.

But because Hinata's immense pressure could affect Nine Tails' Chakra, it never gets out of control.

As for emotions, for someone who is always positive, as long as Nine Tails doesn't try to take over Naruto, it won't affect him at all.

"So, that's the case. Then, Naruto, I am afraid Nine Tails' chakra alone won't be enough to defeat me. If you don't train hard for the next month, I will take the win."

Menma smiled and instead of fearing his powers, he continued to encourage Naruto.

"Hehe! Don't worry, I will definitely train hard but I don't know what should I train next." Naruto raised his thumb but looked a bit confused.

Hearing his words, Menma thought for a moment and nodded.

"Then, leave this matter to me. Because you have been training with Team 7 for two years, you have already made an amazing foundation."

"So, you can start Sage training. It's just that we have to wait until someone comes here."

Kakashi was surprised when he heard Menma's words. He couldn't help but ask.

"Are you talking about Lord Jiraya?"

"Jiraya? Where did I hear this name?" Naruto touched his forehead and tried to remember.

"Idiot, did you forget that Menma told you that you can learn Sage Mode from Lord Jiraya two years ago?" Jeme slapped his head and answered.

"Ahh, yes! I almost forgot about that. Wait, Menma, are you telling me that man will come to Konoha soon?" Naruto finally remembered and asked.

Kakashi also looked at Menma with suspicious eyes.

Menma simply smiled and said.

"Yes, because he has been trying to find Orochimaru for a long time. So, he will definitely come here knowing that Orochimaru has come to Konoha."

"Ohh! I didn't expect you to know about their relationship." Kakashi looked at him with surprise.

"Of course, I have been training under Lady Tsunade for two years." Menma nodded his head.

"So, is this person really as strong as that guy called Orochimaru?" Naruto looked confused as he asked.

Menma nodded his head and said.

"Sanins are the three most powerful ninjas of Konoha during the second and third Shinobi World War. Only two people except the third Hokage surpassed them in strength during that time."

"During the second Shinobi World War, it was White Fang of the Leaf, Hatake Sakumo. During the third Shinobi World War, it was Golden Flash of the Leaf, Namikaze Minato, also known as Fourth Hokage."

"But currently, both of them are dead and the third Hokage is old. So, they should be considered the most powerful shinobi."

Hearing his explanation, Kakashi narrowed his eyes with sadness.

"Hatake, Kakashi-sensei, isn't that your surname?" Naruto noticed the surname of Kakashi and Sakumo to be similar so he curiously asked.

Kakashi was a bit sad but he quickly smiled and nodded.

"He is my father."

"Wow! Doesn't that mean your father was stronger than Sanin?" Naruto widened his eyes and asked.

"Remember, what I told Sasuke? Itachi Uchiha, Shisui Uchiha, and Kakashi Hatake are the three top geniuses of the previous generation. If it wasn't for the burden of Sharingan, Mr. Kakashi could easily reach Kage Rank."

Menma explained with a calm expression.

Hearing his words, Naruto's eyes twinkled as he stared at Kakashi.

"Wow! Kakashi sensei, you are so amazing."

"Haha! Naruto, don't think too much. Menma is just exaggerating my talent." Kakashi made a dry laugh and shook his head.

"Mr. Kakashi, don't be too modest. You became Jonin at the age of twelve. If you had continued for a few years, you could easily reach Elite Jonin. And, if Sharingan hadn't consumed your Chakra, you could even reach Kage Level."

"In fact, you even had the chance to reach peak Kage Level just like your father. It's just that you don't want to remove that Sharingan." Menma shook his head and spoke.

Hearing his words, Kakashi touched his left eye and smiled. He won't remove this Sharingan because it is a gift from his friend.

"Menma, what do you mean by Peak Kage? Is there a difference between Kage?" Naruto looked a bit confused when he asked this.

Hearing his question, Kakashi also looked at Menma with a curious gaze. Even Jeme was curious about it.

Menma nodded his head and said.

"Of course, there is a huge difference. I have divided Kage Ranks into four stages; Low, Middle, High, and Peak."

"Currently, Third Hokage and Orochimaru in terms of pure strength are Low. If they use their trump cards, they can do some amazing stuff but their strength is still just low."

"There are other people like Deidara and Hidan of Akatsuki who has this level of strength. Fifth Mizukage, Fourth Kazekage, Kakazu of Akatsuki, Konan of Akatsuki, Sasori of Akatsuki, and Lady Tsunade have reached Middle Kage Level Strength."

"Fourth Raikage, Third Hokage in his prime, Itachi Uchiha, Third Tsuchikage, Fourth Hokage, Third Kazekage, Fourth Mizukage, Second Tsuchikage and Mizukage, Jiraya of Saint have all reached High Kage level of strength."

"Of course, there are people like Killer Bee who is a perfect Jinchuriki who has reached the High Kage Level in strength. Then, there are other Jinchuriki except for the Jinchuriki of Seven Tail, One Tail, and Nine Tail who have all reached Middle Kage Level."

"Finally, people like Hatake Sakumo, Second Hokage, Third Raikage, and Nagato of Akatsuki are Peak Kage Level."

"Of course, above this, there is another rank which I call Super Shadow and there are only two people who have reached this rank."
