Spirit Transformation + Senjutsu = the Path to Immortal Cultivation? (Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Updates)

Kakashi might have had very little chakra, only enough for four uses of Chidori.

But that was only because Chidori consumed so much.

He had more than enough to cast other ninjutsu.

"What an incredible talent."

Hatake Sakumo sighed in admiration.

This was what came of combining the Senju and the Uchiha.

Sometimes, Hatake Sakumo even wondered what would have happened if the Senju and the Uchiha Clan had not borne a thousand-year grudge, but had instead gotten along and frequently intermarried.

How powerful would their descendants have been?

They would surely have been the strongest shinobi clan in the Shinobi World.

At that thought, Hatake Sakumo shook his head. Nothing in this world was perfect. The Senju had already disbanded, and after a few more generations, those scattered descendants might not even know their ancestors had been Senju.

Kakashi felt no resentment about losing to Qingyu.

Hatake Sakumo then ruffled his son's hair and gave him a gentle smile.

[D-Rank Trait: Sword Like a Gale]

Qingyu glanced at Hatake Sakumo, knowing it must have dropped from him.

At the distant Kirigakure frontline camp, Jūzō Biwa drove the Kubikiribōchō hard into the earth.

"Konoha has sent more people."
