"Kakashi Hatake, an Elite Jonin of Konoha Village, graduated from the Ninja Academy at five, became a Chunin at six, and was promoted to Jonin at twelve. He was a true Genius back then."
"What? That unreliable Kakashi-sensei was actually that amazing?"
A simple sentence immediately stunned Naruto.
What does a Jonin at twelve mean?
Naruto was also twelve now.
Twelve-year-old Kakashi was already a Jonin, but what about him? He had just graduated from the Ninja Academy.
Even if the graduation requirements for the Ninja Academy were looser during wartime, it couldn't hide the fact that Kakashi was a Genius.
However, thinking of that awful self-introduction just now, Naruto found it hard to associate the persona of a Genius with Kakashi.
He always felt that such a super Genius shouldn't give off an unreliable vibe.
"By the way, uncle, you said he was a Genius back then, so what about now? Is he not good anymore?"
"It's not that he's not good."
Ge Liang glanced at Naruto, surprised that he noticed this small detail.
"Compared to his achievements as a child, although the current Kakashi has made a name for himself in the Ninja World, earning the title 'Copy Ninja,' he hasn't quite met the expectations people had for him."
At this point, Ge Liang also felt a hint of pity for Kakashi.
Kakashi's father was the famous 'Konoha's White Fang,' Sakumo Hatake.
If things had developed normally, Kakashi would have become another Kage-level powerhouse similar to his father.
But things didn't go as planned; an accident occurred. His teammate, Uchiha Obito, died in battle, leaving him a Sharingan as a gift before his death.
Because Kakashi does not have Uchiha bloodline, the Sharingan Obito gave him cannot be freely activated or deactivated. From the moment it was implanted, this eye has continuously consumed his Chakra, increasing his physical burden.
To reduce this burden, he pulls his forehead protector down to cover the eye with the Sharingan.
One could say that this Sharingan made the current Kakashi, but it also destroyed the Kakashi who was once a super Genius... At the internet cafe entrance, Ge Liang told Naruto a lot of information about Kakashi.
He even mentioned things like the Sharingan and the Chidori Ninjutsu.
Whether Naruto understood or not, Ge Liang told him everything in one go.
Naruto's information gathering went smoothly, but Sasuke's wasn't so smooth.
The only Ninja circle he could currently access consisted of a few recently graduated companions.
Therefore, if he wanted to get information about Kakashi, he could only ask the squad leaders of these companions.
However, Sasuke, after all, isn't a Face-Face Fruit user, so neither Asuma Sarutobi nor Kurenai Yuhi gave him too much information.
They only gave Sasuke some inconsequential information, out of consideration for Ino and the others.
For example, Kakashi's Ninja Rank, age, height, and other common knowledge.
This left Sasuke very dissatisfied, but he couldn't do anything about it. Asuma and Kurenai Yuhi weren't familiar with Sasuke; sharing information was a kindness, not sharing was their right, and Sasuke couldn't force them.
Moreover, he didn't have the strength to force two Jonin.
Fortunately, he wasn't completely without gain.
At least he knew that Kakashi was of the Jonin class, and his strength should be quite good, which was enough to grudgingly acknowledge Kakashi's qualification as a squad leader... The next day, before dawn, the three members of Team 7 had already arrived at the agreed meeting place with Kakashi.
"Sasuke, Sakura, have you two eaten breakfast?"
Hearing Naruto's question, both shook their heads, indicating they hadn't.
"Didn't Kakashi-sensei say not to eat breakfast?"
Sakura was a bit confused. Kakashi-sensei clearly said not to eat breakfast yesterday, and Naruto was there, so why would he still ask?
"Hehehe."
Naruto chuckled and said, "I knew you two hadn't eaten."
With that, he pulled out a large lunchbox containing six rice balls from behind his back.
"Naruto, you..."
"Come on, come on, two for each of us. Let's eat and talk."
Seeing Naruto act this way, Sasuke and Sakura, though still a little surprised, didn't refuse.
They believed Naruto must have a reason for doing this.
Sure enough, while eating the rice balls, Naruto told Sasuke and Sakura the information he had gathered from Ge Liang.
Upon hearing that Kakashi graduated from the Ninja Academy at five, became a Chunin at six, and a Jonin at twelve, both gasped.
Afterward, when Naruto mentioned that Kakashi could use thousands of Ninjutsu, their reactions weren't as strong.
Clearly, they were still fixated on the 'Jonin at twelve' fact.
Naruto actually empathized with their reactions.
After all, his own reaction at Ge Liang's place yesterday wasn't any better than his two companions'.
"Why don't you two calm down for a bit, and then I'll continue?"
Seeing their expressions, Naruto wanted them to calm down, especially Sasuke, as what he was about to say next might greatly stimulate Sasuke.
"We're fine, you can continue."
Both took a deep breath, calmed themselves, and motioned for Naruto to continue.
"Alright."
"Besides what I've already mentioned, Kakashi-sensei actually has a Sharingan. It's because of this Sharingan that he earned the title 'Copy Ninja,' and this is also why he can use thousands of Ninjutsu."
"Sharingan?"
When he heard that Kakashi had a Sharingan, Sasuke's eyes instantly turned red, and he became incredibly agitated.
"How did he get his Sharingan?"
Kakashi does not have the Uchiha surname, so it's highly likely his Sharingan came from one of Sasuke's clan members.
If it was a gift from a clan member, that would be fine, but if it was stolen, then no matter the difference in strength between them, Sasuke would definitely confront Kakashi about it.
"Don't be so agitated, Sasuke."
Seeing Sasuke agitated, Naruto quickly said, "Actually, Kakashi-sensei's Sharingan was a gift from his close friend."
With that, Naruto told Sasuke about Obito, which finally made Sasuke's expression improve a little.
However, the thought of an Uchiha Sharingan appearing in the eye of an outsider still made him feel somewhat conflicted.
'But this is good too; perhaps I can get him to guide me on the application of the Sharingan.'
Thinking that having a squad leader with a Sharingan might not be bad, Sasuke nodded, then continued to ask, "By the way, where did you gather all this information?"
Sasuke was very surprised that Naruto could collect such complete information.
After all, when he personally went to collect information, he only got some common knowledge, which was basically worthless.
"Hehehe, of course, I got it from the amazing uncle."
Everyone deeply understood the magic of the internet cafe.
Since the internet cafe was so magical, it seemed not strange at all that Ge Liang, as the owner of the internet cafe, would know all this information, right?
