"Train hard. Konoha's future belongs to you."
Kakashi and Obito undoubtedly both had the potential to become Hokage. Judging by their personalities, Torikaze favored Obito.
But no one could say for certain who would ultimately come out on top.
Obito was far weaker than Kakashi, and it was unclear whether he could make up the gap through later effort.
In any case, Torikaze had already been working very hard to level the playing field for the three of them.
"Keep your hands steady! Keep your eyes on the enemy!"
"Stand properly! Stop swaying around!"
Chisato's stern voice rang out repeatedly. Obito was extremely nervous at the moment, constantly adjusting his posture.
Chisato usually looked kind and gentle, but once training began, she was terrifyingly strict.
It was just that few people knew this, since the only disciple Chisato had truly taught was Uchiha Fugaku.
Fugaku's rapid growth in strength was also largely thanks to Chisato.
At the training grounds in the backyard, Kakashi continuously practiced alongside the Storm Release Puppet.
The puppet's Chakra came directly from Torikaze's body.
It could be said to be inexhaustible.
But Kakashi could not say the same. Without the Sharingan constantly draining his Chakra, Kakashi's reserves were already relatively abundant among ninja.
Yet practicing ninjutsu with the puppet consumed an enormous amount of Chakra.
On top of that, Kakashi was not particularly familiar with Storm Release and often made mistakes.
So after roughly half an hour, he had nearly run out of Chakra.
Kakashi sat on the ground, gasping for breath.
"Can you continue training?" the puppet asked in its cold voice.
Kakashi gritted his teeth and forced himself to stand. "Yes! Let's keep training."
But the puppet directly took out a tender white flower, its pistil carrying a large mass of liquid resembling dew.
