"Not bad, right? To be able to achieve this level of nature transformation with Lightning Release, even an average jonin wouldn't be able to do it! I heard the Uchiha clan excels at Fire Release; I'd like to see your Fire Release, Sasuke!"

After the kunai shattered, Kakashi quickly retreated from the battlefield and began another long-winded lecture.

"That's a real pity. As for Fire Release, other than the Great Fireball Technique, I don't have any other ninjutsu for the time being. However, if Kakashi-sensei is interested, perhaps we could have another match!"

Faced with Kakashi's words, Sasuke remained calm and collected. He took out another kunai and immediately continued his assault on Kakashi.

"What a shame indeed!" Faced with Sasuke's response, Kakashi fell silent for a moment before engaging Sasuke in combat once again.

Just like before, Kakashi had covered his kunai with a layer of Lightning Release, while Sasuke's kunai remained completely plain.

As the kunai clashed, in the next second, Kakashi's lightning-imbued kunai was sliced clean through by Sasuke. After cutting through Kakashi's weapon, Sasuke smiled slightly and immediately retreated.

"Masaka!"

After Sasuke pulled back, Kakashi looked at his severed lightning-covered kunai with an expression of disbelief. How did he do that?

"Could it be that you have also mastered the nature transformation of Wind Release?" After a brief moment of thought, Kakashi discarded the broken kunai and looked at the nonchalant Sasuke with a strange expression. If his guess was correct, then Sasuke truly was a one-in-a-million genius!

"Yes, how about that? Surprised, Kakashi-sensei?" Sasuke put away his kunai and looked at Kakashi with anticipation. Now, Sasuke wanted to see how Kakashi would guide his training. He had already demonstrated the nature transformations of Fire, Lightning, and Wind Release; surely, to help him improve further, he would have to teach him actual ninjutsu!

"That really is a surprise!" Unable to help but praise Sasuke, Kakashi began to think slowly. For Sasuke, both Chidori and Lightning Blade would be very suitable for his future. Yes, the future Sasuke, because both of these ninjutsu require the coordination of the Sharingan's dynamic vision to be executed.

Although he couldn't teach Sasuke these two ninjutsu yet, there was one technique that seemed perfect for him, and it would also be helpful for both Naruto and Sakura.

"Team 7, assemble!" After clearing his thoughts, Kakashi looked at the stunned Naruto and Sakura and issued his first order to gather.

"Huh? Oh, okay!"

Sakura, who hadn't quite adjusted yet, looked confused for a moment before quickly standing opposite Kakashi. Seeing Sakura's movement, Naruto also reacted and ran over quickly. As for Sasuke, he was already standing opposite Kakashi, so there was no need to worry.

Watching Kakashi's actions, Sasuke felt a bit puzzled. It seemed his plan had fallen through; if he were going to teach Chidori or Lightning Blade, there would be no need to call these two over.

"Since I have become your teacher, I must teach you something. Although Team 7 was only established today, given the issue of your strength, I think it is better to increase your capabilities in advance. That way, we might be able to take on high-level missions sooner."

"I intend to teach you an A-rank ninjutsu that requires no hand seals. This is a technique created by my teacher, the Fourth Hokage! I hope you can all master it!"

Looking at the three people in front of him, Kakashi spoke with a serious expression.

The Fourth Hokage? Self-created? Rasengan? Is there nothing a ball can't solve? And if there is, then two?

Listening to Kakashi's words, Sasuke's expression turned strange. The Rasengan was Uzumaki Naruto's signature skill! Was he destined to defeat his opponents with a ball in the future as well?

"A-rank? That's great!" While Sasuke was still thinking, Naruto had already jumped up. After all, the only ninjutsu he had that was worth mentioning was the Shadow Clone Technique!

Although Sakura didn't say anything, her sparkling eyes proved that her heart was not calm either.

"Alright, let me demonstrate it for you. First, concentrate your chakra in your right hand, then control it to rotate at high speed!" Looking at the three with their varying expressions, Kakashi slowly extended his right hand and began to mobilize his chakra.

Soon, a blue sphere of chakra appeared in Kakashi's hand, containing many constantly rotating threads of chakra. The moment this chakra sphere appeared, Sasuke felt a sense of danger.

"It feels like it's very easy to expose!" Looking at the Rasengan in Kakashi's hand, Sasuke's mood was somewhat complex. Sasuke would definitely learn the Rasengan; after all, he could develop Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, as well as Fire and Lightning Release Rasengan—these were all ninjutsu that could rival S-rank techniques!

"Although I know the Rasengan, I am not proficient in it. If you can fully master the Rasengan, the energy won't leak out, so you don't have to worry about exposing yourself!" Hearing Sasuke's words, Kakashi rubbed his nose in embarrassment and then pressed the Rasengan into a nearby wooden post.

The moment the Rasengan touched the post, wood chips began to fly everywhere. When Kakashi withdrew his right hand, the post that Naruto had been tied to was completely pulverized.

"Sugoi!"

Seeing the destruction caused by Kakashi, Naruto exclaimed in shock.

"Alright, I will teach you how to train for the Rasengan!" Rubbing his head awkwardly, Kakashi began to explain the key points of Rasengan training to the three.

Ten minutes later, Kakashi finished his explanation and let the three start practicing on their own. He had taught them what he could; the rest depended on whether the three could grasp it. Of course, what Kakashi hoped for most was that Sasuke could perfect his teacher's Rasengan.

After all, his nature transformations for Lightning and Wind Release were terrifying, and combined with the chakra control Sasuke had shown earlier while standing on the treetops, Kakashi believed it was not an impossible feat.

"After you finish training, you are dismissed. Meet at the mission assignment desk tomorrow morning at 7 o'clock!" Watching the three already beginning their Rasengan training, Kakashi left directly. He still needed to report the establishment of Team 7 to the Hokage.

Once Kakashi was gone, a blue Rasengan suddenly appeared in Sasuke's right hand. Although it looked a bit unstable, for Sasuke, just learning it was enough—after all, he had a cheat!

[Rasengan: A-rank, 50/800]

Looking at the information on the panel, Sasuke smiled with satisfaction and immediately used his general proficiency points to max out the Rasengan's mastery.

[Rasengan: A-rank, 800/800]

Looking at the panel, Sasuke smiled contentedly, then closed it and headed toward his home.

The flowers planted with intent fail to bloom, while the willow planted by chance grows into a Rasengan!
