Kakashi's Training

Sakura Haruno slept soundly after returning home.

The next morning.

She was awakened by the aroma of her mother's lovingly prepared breakfast, only to realize that she had slept until dawn.

"Oh no, I'm late!"

The girl sprang up from the bed with a somersault.

She finished eating breakfast, washing up, and changing clothes at a speed that surpassed her previous life, skipping the time spent on dressing up, and the tomboyish Master Sakura hurriedly arrived at the Anbu building.

"Sorry, I overslept!"

The girl said this while trying to press her sticking-out hair down.

The masked youth stood at the building entrance, put away the pornographic book in his hand, glanced at her lazily, and chuckled, "It's rare that I'm on time... I thought you were going to get revenge for my frequent lateness, and that you weren't coming this morning."

"Hey, hey," the girl chuckled twice, "How could that be!"

Clearing her throat twice, Sakura Haruno asked seriously, "So, are you ready for training, Kakashi-sensei?"

"You're the only one missing!" Kakashi adjusted his Forehead Protector, his expression turning serious. "I've already asked the Fifth Hokage for a week's leave... that should be enough time for me to fully develop the Mangekyō's abilities."

"Let's go to a training ground that's a bit more remote!"

Kakashi led Sakura Haruno out of the village.

A moment later, outside Konoha, beside the Forest of Death, on the banks of the Naka River.

Konoha Training Ground No. 4.

The terrain outside Konoha is not complicated.

Looking at the map, following the Naka River —the very river Shisui jumped into to commit suicide—one branch of the main river flows into Konoha, while the main stream flows through Training Ground No. 9, enters the Forest of Death, passes the central tower, meanders out, crosses Training Ground No. 4, and finally merges into the sea.

The circular Forest of Death is surrounded by a cluster of super-large training grounds, from training ground number 9 to 48. Each training ground has a boundary line several kilometers long, and is rarely visited by people, making it the most suitable place to train in large-scale Ninjutsu.

Let's begin here!

Kakashi walked into Training Ground No. 4, stomped on the solid mud beneath his feet, and nodded.

He pushed up his Forehead Protector, revealing his Sharingan with its Mitsudomoe.

"First, the Mangekyō Sharingan..."

The white-haired youth held his breath and focused intently, channeling his Chakra into his Sharingan, which slowly transformed into ocular power. Driven by the Chakra, the Tomoe began to spin, initially moving slowly, then accelerating until the Tomoe merged into one... transforming into the eerie pattern of a triangular boomerang.

"I'm still not very familiar with this technique, sorry to have kept you waiting..." Kakashi said, slightly out of breath, with fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead, "This is my Mangekyō Sharingan."

Sakura Haruno frowned slightly. It seemed that just activating the Mangekyō Sharingan had consumed a considerable amount of Kakashi's stamina.

"Is awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan really that difficult, Kakashi-sensei?"

The girl tilted her head, examining Kakashi's new eyes, and asked in confusion.

When she used her Clone Duplicate to activate Shisui's Mangekyō, it wasn't nearly as complicated!

"After transforming Chakra into its Yin Release Nature Transformation with high intensity and purity, and then pouring a large amount into the Sharingan, wouldn't it be easy to awaken the Mangekyō? It's not necessarily only Uchiha clan members who can unleash the Sharingan's abilities!"

Kakashi could only manage a wry smile upon hearing this.

In theory, only the Uchiha Clan can fully utilize the Sharingan's abilities.

In reality, the essence of most Mangekyō Secret Technique is to transform Chakra into ocular power with highly Yin Release Nature Transformation, using the Yin Release's characteristic of "Susanoo, Izanagi, and so on.

Therefore, if a ninja's Yin Release is mastered to a high degree and their spiritual power is strong and pure enough, they can ignore this rule and manipulate the power of the Sharingan at will.

This is a complete technical superiority.

It's simple, yet only Sakura Haruno can do it so easily.

"Don't make Yin Release Nature Transformation so weak, okay?" He suppressed the urge to roll his eyes at the student and said helplessly, "Not everyone has your freakish Chakra manipulation ability and mental strength!"

"Although you call me a genius, compared to you, I am just an ordinary person..."

Sakura Haruno chuckled dryly, "Okay, my bad."

"However, in that case, wouldn't it be better if we completed the Yin Release Nature Transformation training before training in the Sharingan?"

Kakashi rolled his eyes.

"Please, while this might solve the problem once and for all, it requires Yin Release. Even if you gave me a month or a year, I still wouldn't be able to complete this training!"

He paused for a moment, then stroked his chin and said, "By the way, how come you're so familiar with the Mangekyō Sharingan?"

"Did you get this information from Danzo? If possible, please make a copy for me, teacher!"

Sakura Haruno hesitated for a moment.

"It's not some kind of information... Can you keep this a secret? Don't tell Master Tsunade either!"

Kakashi frowned, but still said, "If it's something that won't harm the village, then of course I can."

Sakura Haruno stared at him intently for a few moments.

"What I got from Danzo wasn't some kind of information..." Sakura Haruno said, her gaze sweeping across Kakashi's face before landing on the still-dark Forest of Death not far behind the man. A thought struck her, and she said, "Wait here for me a moment!"

Before Kakashi could say anything, Sakura Haruno used several Body Flicker Techniques to disappear into the Forest of Death.

A moment later, the girl emerged from the forest again, and in a few flashes, she was back in front of Kakashi.

", cherry?!"

Kakashi stared at the girl before him, exclaiming in surprise and uncertainty.

She changed into a simple, clean outfit, her bare, fair feet exposed, and there was a subtle change in her Chakra aura.

More importantly, those familiar emerald-like eyes had transformed into a pair of clear, black-and-white pupils.

"Yes, it's me."

The Clone Duplicate —this is the second one—nodded slightly and said, "However, I am a special clone... let's not talk about that now."

"She's here to guide you in training your Sharingan."

Then another Sakura Haruno suddenly appeared— Kakashi immediately recognized her; this was the real Sakura.

"How?"

Kakashi didn't dwell on Sakura's peculiar Clone Technique; instead, he subconsciously stared into the clone's eyes and asked directly.

Sakura Haruno didn't answer, but simply exchanged a glance with the real Kakashi, then turned and gave him a mysterious smile.

Then, she blinked.

Swish.

Those clear black pupils instantly transformed into Red Eye with Mitsudomoe markings.

Swish.

With another blink, the Tomoe began to spin wildly, twisting and connecting into a bizarre four-cornered windmill shape!

This... this is...?!

Kakashi stared wide-eyed, speechless, at the girl's ever-changing eyes, utterly astonished!

"Mangekyō?!" The white-haired youth regained his composure and exclaimed, "How come you have Sharingan too?"

"Is it surprising that someone has Sharingan?" The girl scoffed, pouting. "Danzo had dozens of Sharingan!"

"Danzo?"

Kakashi's mind raced. Recalling the conflict between Sakura Haruno and Root a few months ago, he immediately realized. "This is Shisui's Mangekyou Mangekyō Sharingan you stole from Danzo a few months ago!"

"No wonder we couldn't find Shisui's eyes with Danzo..." Kakashi muttered to himself.

Sakura Haruno smiled without saying a word.

Kakashi's guess was about one-third correct; as for the two stones Danzo the other world, Kakashi would probably have a hard time guessing. However, Sakura Haruno didn't say anything; Kakashi was a smart person and would come up with a reasonable explanation in his own mind, so let him misunderstand for now.

Explaining everything about her would be too troublesome.

"I'll teach you some of my experience with the Mangekyō in this form... Kakashi-sensei." Sakura Haruno said calmly, her eerie blood-red eyes gleaming.

"Let's start with the most basic Mangekyō Sharingan."

Kakashi's Mangekyō Sharingan training proceeded with extremely high efficiency throughout the entire day.

With Sakura Haruno's help to restore his stamina and Chakra, and with a clone who is skilled in using the Mangekyō Sharingan personally demonstrating and teaching him one-on-one, the highly talented Kakashi made rapid progress and has already mastered the basics of activating the Mangekyō.

As evening fell, Kakashi bid a reluctant farewell to his cheat- Sakura Haruno, and the two went their separate ways.

Before going home, Sakura Haruno went Hyuga the Hinata residence first.

In the training hall, the girl unsurprisingly saw Hinata sister, sparring with her father, Hiashi.

The head-on confrontation between Hokuto Shinken and Gentle Fist was a fierce and intense battle, so intense that even the specially treated and exceptionally sturdy floor and walls were blasted with cracks and several holes!

Before a winner could be decided, Hiashi saw Sakura Haruno walk in and stopped fighting on his own initiative.

"That's all for today, Hinata... Good afternoon, Sakura Haruno."

Hyuga Hiashi, displaying impeccable manners, almost to the point of addressing her Lady Sakura.

"Good afternoon, Uncle Hiashi." Influenced by the atmosphere at the Hyuga Clan, Sakura Haruno also became solemn, kneeling on the floor in a serious manner, offering a perfunctory greeting and exchanging pleasantries, engaging in a lot of meaningless small talk.

It took him a while to get to the point. "... Uncle Hiashi, I need to talk to Hinata about something."

Hiashi, sitting upright with perfect decorum, nodded upon hearing this, signaling that Hinata could leave.

Hinata pulled her into her pink boudoir, away from the overly formal atmosphere, and Sakura Haruno felt the breath she had been holding in finally dissipate.

She took out a scroll that she kept close to her body and handed it to Hinata.

"Please, Hinata-chan!" she said solemnly. "Once we get to the Land of Snow, we can open the scroll. The clone will know how to complete the mission on its own. You just need to keep an eye on her for me... I can't go to the Land of Snow until next week, so thank you for your help until then!"

The scroll contained another Clone Duplicate, possessing an extremely high degree of autonomy—so high that someone had to keep an eye on her to feel at ease.

Don't worry!

Hinata smiled brightly.

"And it wasn't hard work at all. I just took advantage of the vacation your master finally gave me, which was a rare treat, to travel to the Land of Snow... and do a few things for you on the way."

"Anyway, it's a rare holiday, so going anywhere is a way to rest, except staying at home where I can't rest at all."

Hinata arrived, pursed her lips, and looked disgusted.

Thinking of Hiashi's serious expression, Sakura Haruno nodded with lingering fear.

"Anyway, thank you."

"Don't be so polite with me..." Hinata shook her head. Too many thanks between friends would seem hypocritical. "If anyone should be thanking someone, it should be me thanking you."

"You've helped me so much." The black-haired girl hugged Sakura and laughed, "I have no way to repay you except with my body!"

A facial cleanser with a soft, fragrant scent gently caresses your face.
