Chapter 7 The Gap! (Please vote with recommendation tickets and monthly tickets to continue reading)

Despite his efforts, Hoshino Shuichi did not change his study plan to first master the techniques of clone and substitution.

When Hoshino Shuichi woke up at 5 a.m. the next morning, he no longer felt tired as before and felt incredibly energetic.

You know, before, I would inevitably feel tired the next day because I studied until midnight.

Now, Hoshino Shuichi feels incredibly energetic and vigorous, thanks to the extraordinary effects of the "Strong and Robust" attribute!

In addition, he also saw another aspect of recovery: his injuries.

The redness and swelling from yesterday's training have now disappeared.

In the past, recovery was not so quick.

After breakfast, Hoshino Shuichi was the first to arrive at the classroom, and Shizune arrived shortly after.

So, while the other classmates were away, Hoshino Shuichi carefully observed Shizune beside him.

This is his second target for transformation.

Shizune blushed under his gaze and turned to ask, "Shuichi, is something the matter?"

"I can help if needed."

Looking at Shizune and reflecting on the past two months together, Hoshino Shuichi grasped one of Shizune's key qualities: gentleness and consideration for others.

"I'm observing you, for the sake of the transformation technique."

Hoshino Hideichi explained with a smile: "On the battlefield, in hostile environments, transformation techniques are mostly used temporarily and for short periods of time. This requires us to have keen insight to grasp the details in the shortest time and to avoid revealing any flaws that could be seen through by the enemy at a glance."

"So besides appearance and demeanor, I think we also need to pay attention to our expressions and temperament. More details include our voice and our walking posture."

"And these skills also require training and careful observation of the characteristics of different people."

Shizune nodded repeatedly: "That's what Lady Tsunade said too!"

After observing for a while, Hoshino finished his observation and, under Shizune's watchful gaze, formed hand seals and cast the Transformation Jutsu.

Bang!

As the smoke cleared, two identical silent figures sat facing each other.

Just then, someone walked into the classroom. Hoshino Shuichi and Shizune turned around at the same time to look. The person who came in was none other than Nohara Rin.

Nohara Rin was stunned by the two identical Shizune characters. She looked left and right, but couldn't tell which one was the real Shizune for a moment.

Suddenly, with a bang, the smoke rose and dissipated, revealing that one of the silent figures had become Nohara Rin.

"Kakashi!"

"Nohara Rin," standing next to Shizune, clasped her hands together in front of her chest and cheered.

This is how Rin Nohara cheers for Kakashi, who is making a big splash, during every practical lesson or ninja tool throwing lesson.

Although she wasn't the only girl like her, Nohara Rin, standing at the classroom door, still blushed instantly upon hearing this.

At that moment, Hoshino Shuichi once again used the transformation jutsu, and with a bang, he transformed into Kakashi.

He stood up, put his hands in his pockets, and turned to walk towards Kakashi's seat.

Nohara Rin stared blankly.

That aloof expression and demeanor, that hand-in-pockets pose, that back view—it was simply…

"Could it be Kakashi...?"

Nohara Rin almost doubted it, but then immediately denied it.

Kakashi wouldn't play such a prank.

At that moment, Hoshinoichi stopped in the corridor, turned around and used the transformation jutsu again, transforming into Uchiha Obito wearing goggles with a bang.

Pushing up his goggles, "Obito Uchiha" snorted, "That arrogant Kakashi, next time I'll teach him a lesson he won't forget!"

Rin Nohara asked in surprise and doubt, "Obito?"

"No, Obito wouldn't be here this early."

Bang!

Hoshita Shuichi reverted to his original form and said with a smile, "Sorry, I was practicing a transformation technique."

really.

Nohara Rin breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and said, "Shuichi, you're amazing! The teacher only taught you yesterday, and you've already mastered it completely."

Hoshino Shuichi shrugged and chuckled, "But I still didn't lie to you, did I?"

However, his several transformations were very precise, thanks to his memory palace.

After all, he had previously stored each of his classmates as samples in his memory palace.

He has now completed 5 goals.

Back in his seat, he chatted with Shizune for a while. As more and more classmates arrived, Hoshino Shuichi began to observe each of them, adding details to his memory palace.

In the afternoon, during the practical training session, Hoshino Shuichi also experienced the significant effects of his improved physical skills.

The moves that he couldn't execute well even with hard training before were used quite smoothly today, catching his opponent Might Guy off guard.

"Shuichi, you've gotten even stronger!"

"However, I won't fall behind at all!"

Matt Kai felt the pressure, but he became even more fired up, swinging his fists and feet even faster.

Bang bang bang!

The two exchanged blows, their fists and feet flying back and forth, locked in a fierce and evenly matched fight.

Most of the students watching the game were cheering for Hoshino Shuichi, especially the girls.

Kakashi, however, keenly noticed that Hoshino Shuichi seemed to have made a significant improvement.

Teacher Kimura Hiroya nodded in approval, thinking to himself, "Shuichi has made significant progress again. I wonder if he's been practicing extra on the side."

"With such learning talent, this year's class is only slightly inferior to Kakashi, and is in no way inferior to Asuma."

……

After dozens more rounds, their intertwined figures separated, and Hoshino Shuichi and Kai both knelt on one knee, panting heavily and sweating profusely.

The two no longer had the strength to fight.

"Shuichi Hoshino and Might Guy, a draw!"

Kimura Hiroya announced loudly.

After Hoshino Shuichi and Might Guy formed the reconciliation seal, Kimura Hiroya announced the next match: "Kakashi Hatake vs. Obito Uchiha!"

Kakashi maintained his aloof demeanor, while Obito Uchiha glanced at Rin Nohara before arrogantly stepping onto the stage and declaring to Kakashi, "Kakashi, this time you will definitely lose to me!"

Kakashi said calmly, "If you're not late every day, I'll believe you."

Obito Uchiha gritted his teeth: "That arrogant Kakashi, damn it!"

One sentence was enough to break Obito Uchiha's defenses.

Once the opposing seals were formed, Obito Uchiha couldn't wait to charge forward, and a fierce battle ensued, no less intense than the fight between Shuichi Hoshino and Might Guy earlier.

The girls watching were all shouting for Kakashi in unison.

Hoshino Hideichi was completely focused, his eyes fixed on the two people fighting.

He's not the only one who's made progress.

After more than twenty rounds, Obito Uchiha was kicked away by Kakashi.

After rolling several times on the ground, Obito Uchiha leaped up, wielding a kunai, and charged forward once more.

Kakashi also took out a kunai, and sparks flew as the two figures clashed.

"It seems Kakashi is already practicing swordsmanship."

Hoshino Shuichi saw the shadow of swordsmanship in Kakashi's kunai, which was significantly different from what he had seen in past battles.

After another dozen or so rounds, Obito Uchiha, who was once again at a disadvantage, suddenly rolled backward several times, retreating a distance. His cheeks puffed out, and then flames shot out of his mouth.

Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!

Hoshino Shuichi was shocked; this was the first time he had ever seen Obito Uchiha use this technique.

But then it became clear that even though Obito Uchiha only lived with his grandmother and his parents had passed away, he was still a disciple of a powerful and wealthy family.

Ninja clans like the Uchiha and Hyuga clearly have well-established systems for training ninjas.

Then look at Kakashi, he put his hands on the ground, and immediately a wall rose up from the ground.

Earth Escape - Earth Current Wall!

boom!

The spherical flames struck the earthen wall and then scattered and erupted, causing many students watching to back away.

"whispering sound!"

Obito Uchiha, having failed to achieve his carefully prepared ninjutsu, curled his lip in frustration and charged forward once more.

……

"That's the difference!"

Hoshita Shuichi couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Kakashi clearly didn't use his full strength in the past, relying solely on taijutsu. Judging from his proficiency in using these techniques, he had obviously already mastered Earth Release ninjutsu.

You can see your own efforts, but you can't see the efforts of others, just because that doesn't mean they didn't exist.

Kakashi, with his background, probably started training at the age of three.

However, Hoshino Shuichi did not underestimate himself. With the citation tree, he believed that with more effort, he could definitely catch up.

After a dozen or so rounds, Kakashi used a clone to distract the reckless Obito Uchiha, then kicked Obito away. Before Obito could get up, the kunai was already in front of him.

Obito Uchiha was unwilling, but he could only snort and turn his head away.

Teacher Kimura Hiroya thought to himself, "As expected of the son of Konoha's White Fang and a member of the Uchiha clan, with such strength, if we disregard mission experience, he could easily be a genin."

However, considering Obito Uchiha's poor theoretical knowledge and impetuous personality, Kimura Hiroya couldn't help but shake his head inwardly before announcing, "Kakashi wins!"

"The Seal of Reconciliation!"

Kakashi put away the kunai and extended his hand.

Obito hesitated for a moment, then stood up with Kakashi's help, and the two formed the reconciliation seal.
