"Sasuke, let's do some extra training today."
"Sakura, want to join us?"
"Sure!" Sakura accepted Naruto's invitation without hesitation.
The three headed toward the training grounds.
All along the way, Sasuke kept replaying the details in his mind.
He bore the burden of reviving the Uchiha clan, so he needed to grow stronger as quickly as possible.
Yet he was already twelve years old. Let alone becoming a Jonin, he had not even reached Chunin level.
Then there were those geniuses.
Itachi had become a Chunin at ten, while Kakashi had become a Jonin at twelve.
Compared to them, he was simply far too inadequate.
How could someone like him revive the Uchiha clan?
Sasuke was unwilling to accept it.
Although he had kept up his training and should have been capable of matching a Chunin, it was still nowhere near enough.
Thinking of this, Sasuke could not help but feel worried.
An excellent Jonin instructor would undoubtedly affect a ninja's entire life. If Kakashi was not capable, then his own rate of progress would certainly be slow.
Kakashi might have the title of genius ninja, but judging by how unreliable he seemed, he was obviously weak.
How was Sasuke supposed to grow stronger like this? How was he supposed to seek the truth?
Seeing Sasuke's troubled expression, Naruto understood his concerns and comforted him. "Don't worry. Kakashi may look unreliable, but he's the Copy Ninja who has mastered over a thousand ninjutsu. In my opinion, he's an exceptionally suitable Jonin instructor for you."
"Kakashi has completed forty-two S-rank missions, every one of them perfectly. His strength far surpasses that of an ordinary Jonin. Sasuke, aren't you researching the nature transformation of Lightning Chakra? Kakashi will definitely be able to help you."
Naruto's lips curled into a smile.
