Chapter 40 - Rin x Kakashi

Rin asked, "How are you getting along with your new teammates?"

"We're just carrying out missions together. Getting along or not isn't important." Kakashi said blandly.

This morning, he had met his two new teammates and the Jonin instructor leading them.

He didn't feel anything special in his heart. He only hoped they could complete missions.

Listening to Kakashi's indifferent tone, Rin had already guessed that Kakashi might not be getting along well with his new companions.

"I have something to do later."

Kakashi said, and started walking forward.

"W-Wait a minute, Kakashi, are you researching chakra nature transformation? Like, changing chakra into an electric current."

Rin tried to find a common topic with Kakashi.

Although she hadn't completed that step that day, she was very meticulous and had memorized all the theoretical knowledge Kiyoshi had taught her.

Kakashi's footsteps obviously stopped, and he looked back at Rin.

Rin clasped her hands in front of her abdomen. Her brown eyes stared at Kakashi, her face showing a worried expression.

"You've also learned chakra nature transformation?"

Kakashi was quite surprised.

These things were hardly taught in ninja school because only Chunin and above would consider these things.

It was too far away for them, Genin, or even ninja preparatory students who weren't even Genin yet.

"Yes, I learned a little."

Rin followed her memory and said some of the things Kiyoshi had taught her.

When Kakashi heard her words, he realized that Rin really knew a lot.

He had been focusing on creating a Lightning Release ninjutsu alone, and he lacked another person to discuss his ideas with.

"Rin, what do you think about stimulating the cells in the wrist and palm?" Kakashi asked.

Rin thought for a while and said her guess.

In fact, medical ninjutsu and Lightning Release have something in common. They both act on the human body.

And medical ninjutsu's research on cells is unmatched by all other ninjutsu.

"Let's find a place to talk in detail."

Kakashi became interested.

He hadn't expected Rin's insights to be even deeper than his.

Kakashi's creation was still in its initial stage, and Kakashi had only set a rough direction.

To complete this technique, he still needs to fill in a lot of things.

"Okay."

Rin softly hummed and quickly followed Kakashi as he left.

She felt happy in her heart, and the worry on her face lessened a bit.

As long as she gets closer to Kakashi, she can guide him back to the right path, right?

Rin prayed like this.

Ninja School

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed, and Kiyoshi's life returned to calm.

Kiyoshi listened to the Chunin instructor explaining the history of the ninja world in class.

In this world, there isn't much information about the myths before the Sengoku era a thousand years ago.

Even the most famous Sage of Six Paths is only vaguely known, and no one knows about Kaguya, the ancestor of chakra.

The Uchiha clan actually records the most historical secrets.

There is an ancestral Uchiha Stone Tablet in the secret room of Naka Shrine.

'It's starting to slow down.'

Kiyoshi listened to the Chunin instructor talking about history while thinking about his Sharingan.

His progress was not as fast as it was at the beginning.

It was gradually slowing down. Now, Kiyoshi's physical and mental strength were improving in a subtle way.

The Sharingan reflects the heart, and it is precisely because awakening them will quickly enhance one's strength that the Uchiha's strength is feared by many people.

Before long, the class bell rang, and it was time for a break.

Kurenai was the first to run to Kiyoshi, asking if Kiyoshi had understood the last class.

Kiyoshi read a book while replying to Kurenai's questions.

Most of the time, Kurenai spoke, and Kiyoshi occasionally replied with a word or two.

He is now preparing to graduate early, learning the knowledge that others have learned for several years in a very short period of time.

The Uchiha clan generally has good talent, and Kiyoshi absorbs knowledge very quickly.

On top his natural talent, he also has two traits [Reading Absorption] and [Basic Memory].

"Kurenai is looking for Kiyoshi again. It seems Kurenai is really interested in genjutsu."

Akimichi Domaru took out a bag of potato chips from his pocket while eating.

"I've been undergoing special training in the clan for several days recently." Asuma said confidently.

His original genjutsu score was around the passing line, and now he has been in special training for several days.

Although he hadn't improved much, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with Kiyoshi, who doesn't use the Sharingan, right?

After all, without the Sharingan, the Uchiha are just that.

"Awesome."

Akimichi Domaru swallowed a piece of potato chip and said.

Asuma was speechless at Akimichi Domaru's words.

If it weren't for the fact that the Sarutobi clan and the Ino-Shika-Cho trio have always had a good relationship, he didn't know if he would have a good relationship with Akimichi Domaru.

Asuma glanced over and found that Kiyoshi had said something that had actually made Kurenai laugh.

He immediately stood up and walked towards Kiyoshi.

"Hey, Kiyoshi, you said last time that you would spar with me, don't forget."

Asuma knocked on the table and said.

He also deliberately lowered his voice in front of Kurenai, making his voice sound very dull and masculine.

"Don't worry." Kiyoshi nodded.

Seeing Kiyoshi's agreement and Kurenai turning her head to look at him, Asuma returned to his seat with satisfaction.

"Will you win?"

Obito, who was sitting in front of Asuma, turned his head and said.

He also wanted to see what Kiyoshi lose. Recently, Obito has been feeling a little bored in school without Kakashi. Naturally, he couldn't wait to see Kiyoshi deflated.

"Yes, I will." Asuma nodded.

He glanced at Obito with a slightly pitying look. Last time, Obito had sparred with Kiyoshi and had lost to him, losing face in front of Rin.

This time, he will let Obito see what a real man is.

"Kurenai, you won't mind if I win against Asuma, right?" Kiyoshi said to Kurenai.

Asuma isn't like his future self yet. He is just a child like Naruto, eager to get attention and recognition.

The son of a hero often faces more pressure than other children because people can't help but compare them to their parents.

"It'd be good is you could win against Asuma. It could temper his spirit. Asuma is a little too rebellious." Kurenai nodded.

She has been spending less time with Asuma recently.

But the relationship between the two has always been good, and they can be regarded as childhood sweethearts.

She knows something about the father-son relationship between Asuma and the Third Hokage.
