"Sasuke."
Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke at this opportune moment, his aged voice carrying a nostalgic tone as it reached everyone's ears.
"Your teacher, Kakashi, is different from ordinary jounin. He can be called a true genius. He graduated from the Ninja Academy at five, became a chunin at six, and a jounin at twelve. Furthermore, on the battlefield at that time, he gained immense fame, known as—Copy Ninja Kakashi."
Kakashi's resume, when spoken aloud in this time of peace, was absolutely shocking.
At the age when ordinary students merely graduated from the Ninja Academy, he was already a jounin.
And he had gained fame on the battlefield.
"So amazing." Naruto seemed startled. "So Kakashi-sensei was such an incredible person? Even though he's usually like that."
"Therefore, I was also very surprised that he would acknowledge you and be willing to become your team leader." Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed to sigh with emotion.
What are you surprised about?
Xin rolled his eyes inwardly.
It was clearly arranged long ago.
However, at this moment, he just watched. Only by being struck down would Sasuke realize that he hadn't opened nearly enough Mystery Box yet. And it was clear that Hiruzen Sarutobi's sudden praise at this time was also a hint to Kakashi to take this seriously.
As for Sasuke.
Looking at Kakashi in front of him, he seemed to be shocked by that incredible resume as well.
Unlike him, who became stronger by opening Mystery Box.
Kakashi, relying on himself, became a jounin at the tender age of twelve.
Just like that man.
Both were geniuses among geniuses.
In that case...
"If I defeat you!" Sasuke raised the sharp sword in his hand and pointed it at Kakashi, his eyes filled with a hint of fanaticism. "Then doesn't that mean I'm strong enough to seek revenge against that man, Itachi Uchiha!"
From his mouth, he actually directly called out Itachi Uchiha's name.
That's right, although he hadn't awakened the Sword Body yet, although he could still become stronger.
But Sasuke, as soon as he thought about getting revenge, found it hard to bear.
However, Kakashi denied it.
"If your enemy is that Itachi Uchiha, even I don't have much confidence in winning." Kakashi's tone was firm.
"Moreover, you can't possibly defeat me as you are now, so if you leave the team to find Itachi Uchiha... you will definitely die, Sasuke!"
Kakashi was someone who cherished his comrades.
He wouldn't let the disciple he acknowledged die in vain.
So—wake him up!
"In that case, let's continue!" Sasuke seemed provoked by Kakashi's words, his face showing clear anger. "That wasn't my full strength just now!"
He had indeed hidden many things and hadn't used them.
"Then... I'll let you truly experience a life-or-death battle between ninjas." Kakashi extended his hand and slowly moved it towards the forehead protector covering his eye.
Moved upwards.
Suddenly opened the eye with the scar.
That was—!
Sasuke's pupils suddenly contracted, looking incredibly at Kakashi's crimson eye.
Sharingan! That's the Sharingan!
Even within their Uchiha clan, only a few people possessed the Sharingan, this kind of ocular jutsu!
Why, why does Kakashi have the Sharingan?
Sasuke opened his mouth, just about to ask, but the words suddenly became difficult to utter when they reached his lips.
Because... killing intent.
