"..."

Nine-Tails noticed that some of the Tailed Beast looked a little off.

It's unclear how Nine-Tails) could read the Tailed Beast ' expressions; perhaps the Tailed Beast communicate with each other using encrypted communication.

Anyway, it figured it out.

"Don't even think about letting your Jinchuriki learn this method. It's not only dangerous for Jinchuriki, but if Naruto sees them using Tailed Beast Sage Mode, then all our efforts will be wasted."

The Nine-Tails earnestly reminded the other Tailed Beast once more.

The other Tailed Beast had no choice but to put aside their thoughts for the time being.

But to say they'll obediently follow orders is impossible.

Tailed Beast are not small pets.

Besides, even if they are pets, only their owners can command them; pets don't command each other.

On what grounds?

Are you only one level above the Tailed Beast?

This is a concept that exists in the subconscious of all the Tailed Beast.

So what they were thinking was that, at worst, they could remind the Jinchuriki to try their best... absolutely not to reveal themselves before Naruto.

"By the way, where are the Four-Tails and Five-Tails? They haven't been brought in yet after all this time?"

"Yeah, Two-Tails, have you gone to find your master yet?"

"Why didn't Gaara, the Jinchuriki of the One-Tail Beast, come looking for Naruto Gaara?"

The Tailed Beast chuckled and awkwardly changed the subject.

Naruto's consciousness returned to reality, and he was preparing to continue developing the Rasenshuriken that he had stopped when he suddenly heard the sounds of fighting in the distance.

"Was that from Kakashi-sensei's side? That's strange."

Naruto scratched his head.

If it's an enemy, then the Shadow Clone Jutsu getting destroyed will definitely bring back its memories.

The Shadow Clone Jutsu are not making a sound.

Could it be that Konohamaru and Kakashi-sensei both simultaneously activated Sage Mode and were sparring?

With that thought in mind, Naruto forgot about developing his Ninjutsu and, driven by curiosity, hurried back on horseback.

When they rushed back, they found Konohamaru still sitting there motionless, fighting Kakashi and Might Guy who had arrived at some point.

"To be able to fight Thick-Eyebrowed Teacher like this in Taijutsu, Kakashi-sensei has indeed mastered Sage Mode."

Naruto saw that Kakashi, who was fighting, had eight dogs hanging on him, but his speed was still not reduced at all, and was even faster than before.

However, Naruto was still somewhat surprised (disappointed).

He originally thought Kakashi would be like Kiba Inuzuka, fusing with Akamaru and becoming Burning Furry.

However, Naruto overlooked the fact that although Kakashi also had Ninja Dog, they were not from the Inuzuka Clan and did not use the fusion technique.

So Kakashi's situation is like Jiraiya having two toads standing on his shoulders.

"Kakashi, what kind of hellish training did you go through? How did your Taijutsu improve so quickly in such a short time? Is this what it means to be a genius?"

After exchanging a kick with Kakashi, Might Guy crouched on the ground, quite surprised.

He was originally there to tell Rock Lee his past stories.

Rock Lee tried to prove himself, to prove that hard work could surpass genius, but he failed time and time again.

So Kai told Rock Lee stories from his childhood.

Kai thought he had worked hard enough, but then he discovered that Kakashi, who seemed aloof on the surface, was actually secretly training like crazy.

Therefore, this is meant to encourage Rock Lee: it's not that hard work can't overcome genius, but rather that you haven't worked hard enough, while geniuses are also working hard.

Therefore, Guy decided to let the facts speak for themselves, and took Rock Lee everywhere to search for Kakashi. Finally, they found out where Kakashi was and came to this place.

When they arrived, they saw Kakashi standing there motionless with eight dogs hanging on his body.

Kai was in an awkward situation.

I have to bite the bullet and say that hanging dogs is also a form of weight training.

Kakashi is currently training his endurance, requiring him to remain still and so on.

Then Kakashi awakens, successfully refines Senjutsu Chakra, enters Sage Mode, and the two begin sparring.

Even now.

"Kai, this isn't just simple Taijutsu training; it's a leap forward brought about by Senjutsu."

Kakashi explained the reason for his dramatic increase in Taijutsu.

He glanced down at his current situation and thought he should get a suit custom-made with a few pockets; otherwise, having these dogs hanging on him looked strange and would hinder his fighting ability.

"Senjutsu? Look at that! Rock Lee and Kakashi are already this good. As Konoha technician who has mastered thousands of Ninjutsu, he still doesn't forget to learn. Now he's even mastered Senjutsu!"

Might Guy burst into tears and turned to lecture Rock Lee, whom he had brought with him.

"Kai, you could actually try to master it too."

Kakashi suddenly remembered that Guy also had Summoning Beast, the Ninja Turtle.

Furthermore, in terms of physical condition, Guy, like Jiraiya, might be more suited to Naruto's shortcut methods.

"Huh? Kakashi, what do you want me to learn?"

Kai, who was hugging and crying with Rock Lee, was suddenly stunned.

As a longtime friend, Kakashi actually made someone like him, who was only proficient in Taijutsu, learn something else?

Is this really Kakashi?

Could it be that someone used Transformation Jutsu?

Might Guy suddenly became alert, released Rock Lee, and quickly walked up to Kakashi, carefully looking Kakashi up and down.

Finally, a conclusion was reached.

Kakashi couldn't confirm if it was real, but the Eight Ninja Hounds on him were definitely real; there was no way they were fake.

"Kai, Sage Mode isn't Ninjutsu; it's a state, just like your Eight Gates Formation. So I believe you can master it and improve your Taijutsu by another ten percent."

Kakashi tried to persuade Kai.

The only way to deal with the Otsutsuki Clan is through Taijutsu and Senjutsu.

Guy was already Taijutsu, so theoretically Kakashi didn't need to force him to.

But since being forced to become an author, Kakashi has begun to cultivate his literary skills in order to maintain his persona.

One of the key points is that the Explosive Tag that appears in the first act must detonate in the third act.

Guy has mastered the Eight Gates. After opening the Eight Gates, he can temporarily gain power surpassing that of the Hokage at the cost of his life.

Quite a few people know about this.

Kakashi hadn't realized it before, but after he started thinking from a creator's perspective, he discovered that Might Guy's fate seemed to be sealed.

Having mastered Eight Gates, Kai will surely make his final appearance by opening the Gate of Death.

Just like in traditional novels, if the protagonist possesses a secret technique for resurrection, it often means that he will definitely be tortured and die once later.

To prevent this from happening, Kakashi wanted Guy to master Senjutsu.

"Kai, do you back down when you encounter difficulties?"

Seeing that Guy hesitated, Kakashi immediately started using reverse psychology.

This method works extremely well for simple-minded people like Guy and Naruto.

Sure enough, Kai couldn't hold back any longer. "Kakashi, let's finish this match first. If you can beat me, I'll learn from you!"

"Really?"

"Really! Come on!"

"Alright! Kai, then don't blame me for showing no mercy."

Kakashi's gaze sharpened. Even though he had just mastered Sage Mode, he had already formulated his tactics and strategies in his mind.
