Konoha: Unable to learn ninjutsu, they had to develop their own.

Then——

Asma returned to the same state he had been in.

the difference is……

This time, he tried his best to control his emotions, keep his mind calm, and maintain his mental strength.

Then, Asuma drew his knife and struck.

"A significant improvement!"

"How much chakra does Sage Mode consume?"

"Taking action will accelerate the consumption of resources; in a battle, it can only last for a few seconds at most."

Asma said with some regret.

Although he had entered a state of immortality, he was well aware of his significant flaws.

One is that Chiba's perception is needed to accurately find the balance point of natural energy and enter the immortal state.

Another point is that he needs time to absorb natural energy.

In comparison, Chiba is simpler.

Asuma remembered that Chiba could enter Sage Mode in less than a second by simply clasping his hands together.

The differences between people are truly everywhere!

Asuma thought sadly, but when he glanced at Kakashi, who hadn't yet figured it out, he felt that he was doing alright.

At least I've got the hang of it now; all that's left is practice makes perfect.

However, very soon...

"broken!"

"what happened?"

Chiba was about to ask Kakashi about his condition when he took a step and was stopped by Kakashi's exclamation.

Asuma opened his mouth and then said, "When I experimented with Sage Mode before, wasn't the chakra fluctuation very intense? It seems that the Shadow Clone Jutsu was accidentally canceled."

"Shikamaru is very clever; he couldn't hide your shadow clones anyway."

Does thinking like this make you feel better?

Chiba suppressed a laugh.

Obviously.

Asma received no comfort. He still had a sense of responsibility. Knowing that his clone was in trouble, he couldn't continue training and immediately packed his things and ran away.

Chiba walked up to Kakashi.

Kakashi opened his eyes.

"What's up with him?"

"I was just experimenting with immortality, and my state may have fluctuated too drastically..."

Chiba briefly mentioned it.

Kakashi pondered for a moment and said, "That is indeed a problem."

"You still care about this?"

"..."

Kakashi rolled his eyes.

That's what I said.

Who do you look down on?

"How about it?"

"It's alright, I'm starting to get a feel for it. But I feel that this is a long-term training process, and unless you have talent, it's hard to make progress in a short time."

Kakashi said.

"Keep it up, Kakashi-sensei! This project is still waiting for you to work on it."

"..."

Kakashi glanced at him speechlessly, then sat cross-legged under the trees and sighed softly.

After a two-second pause, he said, "I don't have any time right now. It's already quite good that I can find the time to come and cultivate."

"Stop fooling around, you were reading inappropriate novels this afternoon."

"That's from worry."

"hehe."

Chiba didn't expect Kakashi to master it in a day.

but.

Cheating is not an option.

"Okay, once I've mastered it, I'll spend more time studying it."

There's no way around it; you're beholden to someone who pays you a price.

but.

Kakashi genuinely wanted to stay in touch with Chiba.

He dusted off his sleeves and left the Death Forest with Chiba, talking about his recent troubles along the way.

It was Sasuke and his group again.

Sasuke has good comprehension skills and is from the Uchiha clan, so Kakashi has a complete training program for him.

Sakura and Naruto...

He had absolutely no idea what to do.

Since I'm already learning ninjutsu from my apprentice, there's no harm in asking him for more advice.

The most embarrassing thing is the first time.

Kakashi had already passed his first time.

"Give me some advice on how to train Naruto and Sakura."

“Naruto is simple. Improve his basics, and then teach him Shadow Clone Technique and Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.”

Chiba replied without hesitation.

Kakashi paused, puzzled, and asked, "I understand improving the basics, but what about Shadow Clone Technique and Multiple Shadow Clone Technique?"

"He has a lot of chakra, making Shadow Clone Technique and Multiple Shadow Clone Technique the most suitable. Furthermore, he can utilize the ability of Shadow Clone Technique to inherit memories..."

Chiba gave a hint.

Kakashi was slightly taken aback, then his eyes widened slightly.

understood!

If you lack understanding, make up for it with quantity.

Why didn't I think of that?

wrong!

Can Naruto learn the Shadow Clone Technique?

Try it.

Shadow clones should be relatively easy to learn.

Kakashi was somewhat expectant—

I hope Naruto can learn Shadow Clone Technique and Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, so that I'll know what techniques to teach him.

Kakashi was greatly encouraged when he learned of a plan.

"Where's Sakura?"

I don't know much about Sakura Haruno.

"He has excellent chakra control and a strong learning ability, but he's a bit too love-struck..."

Kakashi explained Sakura's characteristics and problems in detail.

Chiba remained silent for a few seconds.

"Kakashi-sensei."

"Ok?"

"Don't you think she needs to have her brain treated first?"

"..."

Too much!

Kakashi was speechless.

But I have to admit, Chiba is right.

Sakura needs some mental adjustment.

"To be honest, her specialization might be more suited to medical ninja, and also to my techniques."

Chiba said, "All my techniques have characteristics similar to hers."

"It really is."

Kakashi slapped his forehead.

Sakura is basically a lower-budget version of Chiba; they're pretty much on the same level.

He muttered to himself, "I need to think of something. Let me think... I've got it! I remember Sakura and Ino from Class 10 used to be good friends?"

"Tsk, I've got an idea. I'll talk to Asuma about it later."
