Naruto entry.

Will they win in Chapter 40?

How are the new companions getting along?

"We were just carrying out a mission together; whether we got along or not is unimportant."

Kakashi said calmly.

This morning, he met his two new teammates and the Jonin who was leading the team.

He didn't feel anything special.

I just hope they can complete the mission.

Judging from Kakashi's nonchalant tone, Nohara Rin already guessed that Kakashi might not be getting along very well with his new companions.

"I have something to do later."

After Kakashi finished speaking, he started walking forward.

"Wait...wait a minute, Kakashi, are you researching chakra nature transformation? That is, turning chakra into something like 'electric current'?"

Rin Nohara tried to find a common topic with Kakashi.

Although she did not complete this step that day, she was very meticulous and memorized all the theoretical knowledge taught by Qing Si.

Kakashi stopped abruptly and turned to look at Rin Nohara.

Rin Nohara clasped her hands together in front of her abdomen, her brown eyes fixed on Kakashi, a worried expression on her face.

She looked noticeably more haggard.

"You also learned chakra nature transformation?"

Kakashi was quite surprised.

These ninjas were hardly taught at the ninja academy.

Because only ninjas of Chunin rank or higher would consider these things.

It was too far removed from those who were genin, or even ninja trainees who weren't genin at all.

"Yes, I've learned a little."

Lin recounted some of what Qing Si had taught her, based on her memory.

Kakashi was surprised to find that Rin actually knew quite a lot.

He had been developing Lightning Release ninjutsu all by himself, and he was just lacking another person to discuss and corroborate his ideas.

"Lin, what are your thoughts on revitalizing the cells in the wrists and palms?"

Kakashi asked a question.

Nohara Rin thought for a moment and then voiced her guess.

In fact, medical ninjutsu and lightning release are somewhat similar, as they both affect the human body.

Medical ninjutsu, in its research on cells, is unparalleled by any other ninjutsu.

"Let's find a place to discuss this in detail."

Kakashi became interested; he hadn't expected Rin's insights, which were things he himself hadn't anticipated.

This ninjutsu was still in its early stages, and Kakashi had only set a rough direction.

To complete this technique, quite a few things still need to be added.

"Um."

Nohara Rin gave a soft "hmm" and quickly followed Kakashi as he left.

Feeling overjoyed, the worry on his face lessened somewhat.

If we get closer to Kakashi, we can probably bring him back.

Rin Nohara prayed in this way.

……

Ninja Academy.

More than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and Kiyoshi's life has returned to normal.

Kiyoshi listened to his Chunin instructor explain the history of the ninja world during class.

This world doesn't know much about the myths from a thousand years ago, before the Warring States period.

Even the most famous Sage of Six Paths was vague about it, and as for Kaguya, the progenitor of chakra, no one knew anything about her.

The Uchiha clan actually records the most historical secrets, and there is an ancestral "Uchiha Stone Tablet" in a secret room of the Naka Shrine.

"It's starting to slow down."

As Kiyoshi listened to his Chunin instructor recount history, he pondered the matter of the Sharingan.

The Sharingan's feedback is no longer as rapid as it was at the beginning.

Gradually slowing down, the feedback was provided in a more subtle way to synchronize Kiyoshi's physical and mental power.

The Sharingan is the eye that reflects the mind. It is precisely because it rapidly enhances a person's strength after awakening that the Uchiha clan's power is feared by many.

Before long, the bell rang, signaling the start of the break.

Kurenai was the first to come to Seiji again, asking him if he had understood the lesson.

Kiyoshi answered Kurenai's questions while reading a book.

Most of the replies were from Kurenai Yuhi, with Kiyoshi occasionally replying with a word or two.

He is now preparing to graduate early, compressing the knowledge that others take years to learn into a very short period of time.

The Uchiha clan is generally quite talented, and Kiyoshi is also quick to memorize knowledge, not to mention that he has two other attributes: "reading and absorption" and "basic memory".

"Kurenai went to see Kiyoshi again. It seems Kurenai is really interested in illusion magic."

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

"I've been undergoing special training in the tribe for several days recently."

Sarutobi Asuma said confidently.

His original illusion skills were just around the passing grade, and after several days of special training, they haven't improved much.

Is it really that difficult to deal with Kiyoshi, an Uchiha who doesn't use the Sharingan?

After all, the Uchiha clan is only known for its Sharingan and Fire Release techniques.

Without the Sharingan, the Uchiha clan is nothing special.

"sharp."

Akimichi-do Maru swallowed a potato chip.

He would be happy as long as he could eat and drink every day.

Sarutobi Asuma was speechless at Akimichi Domaru.

If it weren't for the fact that the Sarutobi clan and the Ino-Shika-Cho trio have always had a good relationship...

He had no idea how he ended up having a good relationship with Akimichi Domaru.

Sarutobi Asuma glanced over and saw that Uchiha Kiyoshi had said something that made Yuhi Kurenai laugh.

He immediately stood up and walked towards Qing Si.

"Hey, Uchiha Kiyoshi, you promised to spar with me last time, don't forget."

"It just so happens to be the beginning of the month," Sarutobi Asuma tapped on the table.

He even deliberately lowered his voice in front of Kurenai Yuhi, making his voice sound deep and masculine.

"rest assured."

Qing Si nodded.

Seeing Kiyoshi's agreement, and the gaze of Kurenai Yuhi turning her head to look at her.

Sarutobi Asuma returned to his seat with satisfaction.

Will we win?

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

He also wanted to see what kind of expression Uchiha Kiyoshi would have if he lost.

Obito has been feeling a bit bored at school lately because Kakashi is missing.

Naturally, they were eager to see Uchiha Kiyoshi suffer a setback.

"Yes."

Sarutobi Asuma nodded.

He glanced at Obito with a slightly pitying look.

Last time Obito sparred with Kiyoshi, he lost to him and lost face in front of Rin Nohara.

This time, he'll show Obito what a real man is.

"Red, I beat Asuma, you don't mind, do you?"

Kiyoshi said to Yuhi Hong.

Sarutobi Asuma is not yet as mature as he will be in the future; he is just a child like Naruto, yearning for attention and recognition.

The sons of heroes often face greater pressure than other children.

Because people will unconsciously make comparisons.

"It's good that Kiyoshi can beat Asuma. It'll temper his arrogance. Asuma is too rebellious."

The setting sun nodded.

I haven't spent much time with Sarutobi Asuma lately.

However, the two have always had a good relationship and can be considered childhood sweethearts.

She knew a little about the father-son relationship between Sarutobi Asuma and the Third Hokage.
