Naruto: My setting is above yours.

If it were anyone else, they would think that someone had already prepared the explanation for Genma.

But he understood this younger man.

He probably didn't even tell his parents beforehand about becoming their apprentice.

Thinking this, Hatake Sakumo smiled slightly and then accepted Genma as his disciple.

A genius boy who is no less talented than his son Kakashi, he is indeed a good candidate to be a disciple.

Xuanma was overjoyed and quickly bowed again respectfully, saying, "Teacher!"

From today onwards, he is Kakashi's senior!

Two days later, Genma's parents invited Sakumo Hatake and Kakashi to dinner, which served as a formal apprenticeship ceremony.

Yu Fenglan was also very shocked that his son was able to become a disciple of Hatake Sakumo.

This is the White Fang of Konoha, a powerful ninja who could overpower the Legendary Sannin of Konoha. He can be considered the number one among the Jonin of Konoha and is renowned throughout the entire ninja world.

In the original timeline, when Kakashi was proposed as the Sixth Hokage, the Daimyo's first reaction was: "So he's the son of Konoha's White Fang."

This can be seen.

Although Yu Fenglan himself is a special Jonin, he seems to be only one level below Jonin Hatake Sakumo.

But Yu Fenglan was also very clear about the gap between himself and Hatake Sakumo.

In terms of strength, power, and influence, the gap is enormous.

My son truly has the potential to become Hokage!

The ancestral graves are emitting auspicious smoke!

On the day of the apprenticeship banquet, Yu Fenglan took Xuanma to pay respects to his father and grandfather.

The Yufeng family had always been small, with Yufeng being the third generation ninja and Genma the fourth.

When they got home, Yu Fenglan patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Xuanma, your future achievements will definitely surpass mine, and the growth of the Yu Feng family will depend on you!"

Is this an attempt to make me a stud?

Xuanma was slightly speechless: "Isn't it too early to say something like this?"

"Shouldn't you and Mom have more children?"

Although he also wanted to have more female confidantes.

But isn't it too early to raise a child? He's still a child.

As expected, the Naruto world is truly insane!

Yu Fenglan was also ridiculed and scratched his head, laughing awkwardly.

The two walked in the sunset, their shadows stretched long.

……

Becoming a disciple of Sakumo Hatake did not grant Genma any new character attributes.

However, Xuanma himself felt that his future had suddenly become ten times brighter.

He started going to the Hatake family more and more frequently, even when Hatake Sakumo was away on a mission, and often he would sleep at Kakashi's house.

Anyway, Kakashi's cooking is pretty good, so we won't go hungry.

Kakashi: o(□)o

Of course, Genma didn't forget about Tsunade's side either.

I still need to continue learning medical ninjutsu, and I can gradually explore some knowledge about sealing techniques first.

Moreover, to make the most of her strengths, Tsunade's superhuman strength is a great skill.

It should be noted that after several years of training, apart from basic physical and sword skills, Xuanma has not yet mastered any powerful killing techniques.

Chakra scalpels don't count.

Wood Release Chakra Mode doesn't count because it's not a specific technique.

Furthermore, the Wood Release chakra mode is too limited and cannot currently be used as one's primary means of combat.

Fortunately, there is still a considerable amount of time before graduation, and Xuanma is focused on building his foundation and is not in a hurry.

Summer vacation passed quickly, and Kakashi's birthday arrived in the blink of an eye.

Sakumo Hatake was away on a mission, so only Genma was there to celebrate with Kakashi.

Of course, Kakashi was the one who cooked.

Kakashi: ()!

However, Xuanma didn't eat for free; he bought the vegetables and cleaned up the mess afterwards.

The two then studied ninjutsu scrolls in the study until very late before going to sleep.

Sakumo Hatake couldn't make it back in time!

The following day was the weekend.

Genma and Kakashi went out to train together as usual. After arriving at the training ground, the two separated. Genma found a dense grove of trees and went inside to practice Wood Release Chakra Mode.

When they came out after their training, they found Kakashi fighting against a boy wearing a green jumpsuit.

Matt Kai!

One of the oddballs in the class was Obito Uchiha, who was always late.

Among his classmates, Genma was naturally most familiar with Kakashi and Shizune.

One is a good friend I often practice with, and we're still fellow students.

The other one is my deskmate and childhood sweetheart.

He's also friends with Matt Kay, but they don't spend that much time together.

Of course, as the two most eccentric students in the class, they also share similar interests.

As long as Kai doesn't try to sell him the green jumpsuit or cry in his arms, Genma is still quite willing to have a thrilling youthful duel with Kai from time to time.

Kakashi is a good friend, and so is Might Guy.

After watching the battle for a while, Might Guy finally collapsed from exhaustion and was defeated by Kakashi.

However, even after falling, Kai was still unwilling to give up and stubbornly stretched out his hand.

Kakashi, panting heavily, stretched out his hand, and the two began playing rock-paper-scissors.

After winning the rock-paper-scissors game against Kakashi, Guy collapsed to the ground.

Genma stepped forward with a water bottle, tossed it to Kakashi, and then came to Guy's side to let him sip the water.

"Thank you so much, Genma."

After finishing the water, Matt Kai thanked them excitedly, his eyes even welling up with tears.

These tear ducts are really overdeveloped.

Xuanma complained, "Kai, you don't have to exhaust yourself every time."

"You should learn to manage and control your physical energy."

Might Guy wiped away his tears, understanding Genma's good intentions, and said with a smile, "Because it's Kakashi, I have to go all out. He's my lifelong rival."

Kakashi, who was not far away, said, "Genma is also your lifelong rival."

Matt Kai wasn't embarrassed at all, and said with great passion: "Steel is tempered in steel, and brothers grow together!"

"Dad said that's what makes youth unique!"

Chapter 15 Talk-no-Jack (Please continue reading)

Sakumo Hatake returned three days after Kakashi's birthday.

Genma keenly sensed that something was slightly off about Hatake Sakumo.

But there was no word from Konoha, and when Genma went home to ask his father, there was nothing amiss.

The next day, Genma skipped class as usual, but took Kakashi home with him.

When they arrived at Kakashi's house, Hatake Sakumo was sitting alone in his room, seemingly deep in thought. He seemed somewhat surprised to see his son and apprentice.

It wasn't that they skipped class by accident, but rather how they got back.

Even though he was mentally tormented at this moment, Hatake Sakumo still showed a gentle smile, without revealing his true feelings. He raised his hand and pointed to the two in front of him, gesturing for them to sit down: "Is there some problem?"

Kakashi looked at Genma.

He was passive.

Sakumo Hatake also looked at Genma and smiled slightly.

Both his disciple and son are precocious and mature for their age, but his son is a bit more reserved, while his disciple appears more mature and composed, but is actually more flexible.

Genma also looked at Hatake Sakumo. He was certain that something was happening, so he decided to cut to the chase and go straight to the point.

Do your best and leave the rest to fate.

"Teacher, is there a problem with this mission?"

Xuanma asked.

Kakashi, standing nearby, was stunned; he hadn't noticed anything unusual about his father.

Hatake Sakumo was also surprised. He thought he had concealed it very well, but he didn't expect his apprentice to see through it.

His smile faded, and Sakumo Hatake sighed softly, falling silent for a moment.

Kakashi sensed something was wrong and said anxiously, "Dad~"

Genma pulled Kakashi aside and said, "Teacher, although Kakashi and I are still children, we can understand a lot."

"We can also be the ones being shared with."

"Teacher, you are not only a powerful ninja, but also have other identities."

"He is a teacher, he is a father."
