I'm doing Jujutsu Kaisen in the ninja world.

On their way back, Shinji and Sasuke had been staying in this deserted forest for some time.

Shinji looked up at the sky and thought, "Waiting for a stubborn guy who misleads students and refuses to admit it."

Before his full-view map, nothing around him could hide.

For example, Kakashi, who was several hundred meters behind them, was extremely conflicted about whether or not to come out and meet Sasuke.

Another example is Ah Fei, who was hiding behind a tree in another direction.

For some reason, Shinji suddenly felt a strong anticipation for what was to come.

Shinji and Sasuke had been standing there for a while.

This made Kakashi realize that he had already been exposed and they were waiting for him to show himself.

Or rather, from the very beginning, that bastard Shinji Akagi had him figured out, otherwise he wouldn't have insisted on bringing only Sasuke along.

Taking a deep breath, Kakashi stopped hiding himself and arrived in front of them in a few leaps.

"Kakashi-sensei?"

Sasuke was stunned for a moment, not expecting to see Kakashi-sensei here.

When Shinji and Hidan returned, it was only mentioned briefly that Konoha and Kumogakure had come to their aid, without specifying who the reinforcements were.

But now Sasuke has guessed everything, and he also knows why Shinji is waiting for someone here.

On the other side, Kakashi was deeply moved when he heard that Sasuke was still willing to call him "teacher".

All the words I wanted to say turned into a sigh: "How have you been these past few days, Sasuke?"

Sasuke still respected Kakashi quite a bit at this point, since Kakashi had even passed on his most secret techniques to him instead of teaching them to Naruto or Sakura.

Whatever the real reason, he has never forgotten the kindness of being taught.

However, he needed to grow faster, which was precisely what Kakashi couldn't give him, so he chose to go with Shinji, even though this path was more dangerous and unknown.

At least for now, his choice was not wrong.

Because the opposite of danger is opportunity!

Sasuke nodded, released his grip on his weapon, and said, "I'm fine, better than ever before. Since that night, I've felt like this is the only time I've truly lived, a time when I can see hope within reach. So I'm sorry, Kakashi-sensei, if you've come here to persuade me to go back, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you."

Looking at Sasuke, who seemed to have grown taller, Kakashi shook his head with a mixture of relief and regret. "No, I'm not here to advise you. I'm just here as your former teacher to see you and check on how you're doing. Clearly, you've found your own path."

"As your former teacher, I only hope that you will not lose your true self in the pursuit of power."

Kakashi is Kakashi after all. He didn't even need to fight Sasuke; he could guess what kind of path Sasuke was on just by observing Sasuke's mental state.

While this path cannot be called wrong, too many people have lost their way in the pursuit of power and turned into another kind of 'monster'.

Kakashi didn't want Sasuke to become that kind of monster, which is why he gave him that reminder.

Regardless of whether he understood or not, Sasuke nodded earnestly in response to his former mentor's teachings, indicating that he did not understand.

Do you remember what I taught you?

Lightning suddenly flashed from Kakashi's hand, illuminating his eyes.

Sasuke was startled again, and then the same light shone on his hand, accompanied by a piercing screech.

"Come on, let me see the results of your training during this time. Don't hold back."

"Although I admit that I am not a qualified teacher, it is really annoying that someone always says I am 'misleading students'!"

Kakashi didn't even glance at Shinji when he said this, but Shinji knew that Kakashi was implying something about him.

So what is this supposed to prove to him?

Shinji touched his nose somewhat awkwardly, then stepped back to a distance, leaving the place to the two of them, which was also a way of making his intentions clear.

At this moment, Sasuke felt a mix of helplessness and amusement.

Although Shinji didn't actually teach him anything, he helped him clarify the path he wanted to take and even helped him evolve his Sharingan one after another.

This alone is something no one else could do, greatly shortening the time it took him to become stronger.

As for the rest, Shinji's influence on him most was probably his combat philosophy and the rich experience he had accumulated in fighting enemies during this period.

Those were all valuable experiences he gained from fighting one battle after another!

Each experience of death gave him a deeper understanding.

Therefore, Sasuke still prefers Shinji's teaching style.

Once the direction is clear, everything else depends on your own efforts to forge a path that truly belongs to you.

Then let Kakashi-sensei witness my growth during this period.

Sasuke suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of confidence, a confidence built up from countless life-or-death battles.

Boo!

Moved!

The two charged at each other almost simultaneously, and then the lights of Raikiri and Chidori collided fiercely!

In terms of sheer power, Kakashi's Lightning Blade is undoubtedly stronger.

But the moment they made contact, Sasuke drew his sword with his left hand, lightning crackling across the blade.

Since the goal is to showcase the results, it is essential to include his improved and self-created Chidori Stream ninjutsu!

The Chidori Blade aimed straight for Kakashi's neck.

Before even touching him, Kakashi felt a tingling sensation on his skin. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he quickly leaned back to dodge, kicking out at the same time.

He was surprised that Sasuke was able to develop other forms of the ninjutsu he had taught him, and he was also surprised by the changes Sasuke made in battle.

If it were the old Sasuke, he would have used some flashy but useless techniques as a test at the beginning.

But this time, none of that happened; the moves were clean and efficient, each strike aimed at the vital points.

After only a dozen or so moves, Kakashi felt that Sasuke had become completely different.

There's a sense that they've shed their naivety and are gradually becoming more experienced.

If he hadn't known Sasuke's life story beforehand, he would have assumed that Sasuke was the kind of ninja who survived the battlefield, or someone who had been trained in a special unit of a ninja village.

It’s incredible!

Kakashi was surprised, but his hands moved quickly, making precise predictions and parrying and dodging perfectly timed.

Sasuke has changed a lot, but don't forget that the person standing in front of Sasuke now was once a super genius who shone in Konoha!

Kakashi Hatake, who became a Jonin at the young age of 12 and experienced real war.

[Chapter 449. Everyone get out of the way, I'm about to show off!]

Chidori Blade!

A thousand birds, a thousand books!

Chidori Sharp Spear!

. . . . . .

Under Kakashi's perfectly timed pressure, Sasuke unleashed his talents to the fullest, as if proving that his choice was right, and also as if showing off to the elders he longed for their approval.

Kakashi found it amusing, but he was also happy about his student's growth.

There was a lingering bitterness, though, because it wasn't him who helped Sasuke grow; rather, he was like an NPC in a game who was responsible for giving skills to the protagonist.

Besides that, he also harbored some resentment.

If that's all there is to it, he's confident that given some time, he can get Sasuke to achieve the same level.

These changes are simply the result of going through many real battles...

Kakashi had already figured it out; there was nothing difficult about it, at most the improvement speed was a bit faster.

Shinji possesses a reversal technique—healing. No matter how severe Sasuke's injuries are, as long as he has a breath left, he can be saved. Therefore, he always manages to bring Sasuke back from the brink of death, so the effect is naturally excellent.

But Kakashi was unaware of these things.

"Let me see what new skills you've learned recently."

Kakashi, who had originally intended to stop short of causing trouble, suddenly said this and then increased the force of his grip, throwing Sasuke away.

While still in mid-air, Sasuke used the power of his waist and hips to forcefully twist his body and land steadily on the ground.

But after hearing Kakashi say that, he hesitated for a moment.

Strictly speaking, Shinji didn't actually teach him any ninjutsu.

However, this hesitation was interpreted differently by Kakashi.

"Don't hold back, just go all out. If you can really hurt me, then you've made the right choice."

Sasuke didn't mean it that way, but since things had come to this point, he could only nod.

"Although Shinji didn't teach me any ninjutsu, the evolution of these eyes into the Mangekyou Sharingan was entirely thanks to him, so I guess that counts as a new skill..."

As Sasuke thought this through, he opened his eyes again and had already awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan!

"This is?!"

Kakashi was utterly shocked!

Perhaps he didn't understand what Sasuke's eyes meant before, but after he himself 'awakened' the Mangekyou Sharingan, he naturally understood what kind of powerful force it represented.

Seeing Kakashi's shocked expression, Sasuke felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

Of course, Sasuke didn't show it, after all, he couldn't let his character fall apart, and he had to act cool and stylish.

"Be careful, Kakashi-sensei. I don't have perfect control over the power of these eyes yet."

After making a humble remark, Sasuke decisively activated Susanoo!

When the purple energy layer enveloped Sasuke and finally transformed into a giant half-skull, Kakashi could hardly hide the shock in his eyes!

"What is that? Could it also be one of the powers of the Mangekyou Sharingan?"

Although Kakashi went to the Hokage to research many secrets about the Uchiha clan after awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan, he learned that this was the true power of the Uchiha clan.

But even many core members of the Uchiha clan might not know the real secrets, so it's even less likely that Kakashi would know about Susanoo.
