Naruto: Extreme Bloodline Limit

"I didn't rely on my family's help!" Kakashi wanted to shout in defense of himself, but when the words reached his lips, he could not say anything. Even if he did, would anyone believe him?

Without your family's help, where did the education you received from childhood come from? Don't mention the Ninja Academy—you only came to school as a formality. You graduated after just one year, while others needed years to learn what you had already mastered before even stepping through the school gates. Didn't that count as support from your family?

And then there was White Fang's guidance. Though it could be considered instruction between father and son, weren't you both members of the Hatake clan?

"999."

"1000."

Having finished today's training, Ronglin finally stopped. Kakashi had not left, nor had he spoken again. He had merely watched Ronglin train in silence.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Ronglin planned to head home, pick up some groceries along the way, and cook himself a nice meal to comfort his stomach.

"Actually, you can go back to school and keep attending classes. Once enough time passes, you'll realize that you can still learn a lot. Well then, goodbye, Kakashi."

Even if a five-year-old child was a genius, there were still many ways in which they lacked maturity, such as their temperament. Unless they were an old monster like Ronglin, with the body of a six-year-old but the mind of a thirty-year-old. Of course, some children who had endured harsh experiences from a young age might be more mature than their peers, but Kakashi did not count. Just those perpetually dead-fish eyes angled at forty-five degrees showed that he was merely somewhat better than children his age.

In the training ground, Kakashi silently watched Ronglin leave, his gaze never straying from Ronglin's back for even a moment.

Graduating Early, with the Advanced Class?

After eating his fill, Ronglin rested briefly before beginning to refine Chakra. This was part of his daily routine. As for what had happened during the day, he had long since thrown it out of his mind.

What could defeating Might Guy and Kakashi change?

Only hard work, only becoming stronger, could change his current situation and satisfy the ambition buried deep within his heart!!

The next day, news of Kakashi returning to class spread throughout the Ninja Academy, leaving many people incredulous. Wasn't this guy carrying out all sorts of missions? Why had he returned to school?

Unfortunately, Kakashi did not explain the reason, and Bozhongye did not ask. He merely welcomed him back.

In truth, Kakashi had told his father everything after returning home, only to receive a single response: "Then keep attending class."

Clearly, White Fang also felt that it was unsuitable for Kakashi to begin gaining real-world experience at this time. However, he would not interfere with Kakashi's decision. No matter what Kakashi chose, he would support him. The path one chose for oneself had to be walked to the end, even on one's knees.

Of everyone, only Ronglin did not care about Kakashi's return. Still, the two gazes now fixed on his back left him speechless. One belonged to Might Guy, and the other to Kakashi. Ronglin began to wonder whether his back had turned into the classroom blackboard. Was it really worth staring at so intently?

Clearly, Kakashi had been provoked by him. Ronglin remained the same as always: attending class, leaving class, reading in the library, and training at the training ground.

During that time, both Might Guy and Kakashi challenged him, but he refused them all. Even during practical combat classes, they were separated. Such classes were meant to build the students' combat experience, not determine who was first and who was second.

The year-end assessment was naturally an exception.

What left Ronglin both amused and exasperated was that whenever he went to the library to read or the training ground to train, a little tail would always appear behind him—Kakashi.

Might Guy knew his own limits. Feeling that he was not strong enough, he had continued training hard after his challenge was rejected. Kakashi, however, believed that if he unleashed all his strength, he might not necessarily lose to Ronglin.

What he did not know was that if Ronglin unleashed all his strength, he would lose even faster.

And so, time drifted by. In the blink of an eye, Ronglin turned seven. Over the nearly year-long period, Kakashi and Might Guy's resentment rose without limit, because every one of their repeated challenges had been rejected by Ronglin for one reason or another.

"What?! You want to apply for early graduation and take the test with the Advanced Class?!"

Kakashi had eagerly awaited the end of the year. He had also successfully passed the Chunin Exam and become a Chunin. The battle he had been anticipating with Ronglin was about to arrive, yet he had never expected Ronglin to apply for early graduation at this time.

During the year-end assessment, everyone in the class would fight one by one, and the final contestants would inevitably have a match. Although Kakashi was already a Chunin, he could still participate in the assessment. That meant Ronglin would have no way to avoid fighting him in the end. Even if Bozhongye separated them beforehand, they would still meet in the final round.

Kakashi had prepared thoroughly for this, only to receive the news that Ronglin had applied for early graduation and would be taking the assessment with the Advanced Class. How was Kakashi supposed to accept that?
