Ensei Uchiha's Shadow Clone used the Transformation Jutsu to turn into a small bird, perching itself on Kakashi Hatake's shoulder.

Kakashi Hatake, however, had no choice but to travel alone toward the location specified in their intelligence.

"Ensei, the Chakra consumption for the Transformation Jutsu isn't exactly low. Are you really okay with maintaining it for this long?"

After running for the better part of the day, Kakashi Hatake finally couldn't help but ask.

The Transformation Jutsu, despite being one of the most basic ninjutsu, is actually the most difficult to teach at the Ninja Academy.

In his previous life, while watching the anime, Ensei Uchiha had always assumed the Clone Technique was the hardest due to Naruto Uzumaki's influence, but in reality, the Clone Technique is the simplest of the Three Basic Jutsu.

The Clone Technique only tests one's ability to control Chakra; it doesn't have very high requirements regarding external details.

The Transformation Jutsu, however, requires one to consider far more.

First, one must clearly understand every detail of the object being mimicked, including its shape, weight, and even its scent.

Once those are clear, one must channel Chakra from within the body to envelop the entire form and alter it, ensuring not a single flaw is exposed.

Only then can one be said to have completed a basic Transformation Jutsu.

Within this process, there is a skill that isn't quite a ninjutsu but must be mastered: the Observation Technique.

Every qualified ninja, even those who have just graduated from the academy, is capable of memorizing every trace of their surroundings in an instant.

When a battle eventually breaks out, even the slightest change in the environment is enough to catch a ninja's attention.

Ensei Uchiha had spent a great deal of effort learning these basic techniques; in his mind, mastering the Three Basic Jutsu was even more difficult than learning higher-level ninjutsu.

Therefore, upon hearing Kakashi Hatake's inquiry, Ensei Uchiha immediately recalled his own past learning experiences.

"It's fine. I have plenty of Chakra; I don't mind this little bit of waste."

After casually brushing him off with a few words, Ensei Uchiha fell back into a daze.

He hadn't forgotten that this body was merely a Shadow Clone. He needed to conserve his mental energy whenever possible; otherwise, when the Shadow Clone returned to his original body, all the exhaustion would be transferred back with it.

Hearing Ensei Uchiha's reply, a hint of envy appeared on Kakashi Hatake's face.

In truth, his own Chakra reserves were not small.

However, because of the Sharingan, his Chakra was constantly being drained, which was why he tried his best to avoid large-scale consumption.

In his current state, if he were to transform into a small bird like Ensei Uchiha and maintain the bird's natural weight, he estimated he could only sustain it for less than a day.

Yet, for Ensei Uchiha, it seemed as if he were completely unaffected.

Shaking his head and quietly committing this information to memory, Kakashi Hatake continued on his way.

More than two days later, the "mount" Kakashi Hatake finally brought Ensei Uchiha to the location of Amegakure.

Amegakure was known for its year-round rainfall, a fact Kakashi Hatake was already aware of, so he paid no mind to the light drizzle falling from the sky.

But Ensei Uchiha knew this was Nagato's Rain Tiger at Will Technique, a top-tier sensory ninjutsu.

Ensei Uchiha, transformed into the small bird, hopped off Kakashi's shoulder and reverted to his original form.

"Kakashi, let's go say hello to the master of the Land of Rain!"

Ensei Uchiha let the rain fall onto his shoulders, his tone calm as he spoke.

As soon as these words were spoken, Kakashi Hatake immediately went on high alert. But no matter how he observed, he could not detect the slightest sign of an enemy appearing, which made him feel a sense of danger.

Seeing Kakashi Hatake's reaction, Ensei Uchiha shook his head and explained: "The enemy is still very far away..."

"Do you see this rain? It is a ninjutsu called the Rain Tiger at Will Technique, which can detect any spy infiltrating Amegakure from every direction."

Ensei Uchiha's words answered Kakashi Hatake's doubts, but they did not make him lower his guard.

After all, for a ninja, a frontal assault and a silent infiltration are two completely different states of engagement.

"Ensei, should we retreat first?"

At this moment, Kakashi Hatake felt that his surroundings were filled with danger, as if countless enemies would rush over in the next second to surround them completely.

Never underestimate the tenacity of a ninja; the Third Raikage, who was once able to fight the Eight-Tails to the point of exhaustion, was eventually worn down to death by ten thousand Iwagakure ninjas.

This goes to show how great a disadvantage a ninja faces when trapped in an encirclement.

"There is no need. The current Amegakure doesn't have many ninjas left to spare."

"Also..."

For the latter part, Ensei Uchiha used some Chakra techniques to transmit his voice directly into Kakashi Hatake's ear.

When he heard that the person who had accompanied him was merely a Shadow Clone, Kakashi Hatake felt his entire world turn upside down.

Who goes on a mission as a Shadow Clone? Isn't this just sabotaging your teammate?

Countless speculations flooded his mind, but in the end, he had no choice but to accept it.

"If I die, could you destroy my right Sharingan?"

Kakashi Hatake looked at Ensei Uchiha's calm face and suddenly spoke.

Ensei Uchiha was just about to answer when he suddenly noticed that the rain in the sky had vanished, though he couldn't tell when it had stopped.

From afar, a figure with wings on its back flew in from the horizon.

Ensei Uchiha saw this and pulled a palm-sized sealing scroll from his robes, tossing it into midair.

Following Ensei Uchiha's shout of "Release," a familiar figure appeared before Kakashi Hatake.

"Rin..."

Kakashi Hatake's eyes widened, unable to believe the reality before him no matter what.

"You damn bastard, what exactly have you done to Rin!!!"

Kakashi Hatake could hardly suppress his emotions, grabbing hold of Ensei Uchiha's lapel.

If he hadn't known that this Ensei Uchiha was merely a Shadow Clone, that tightly clenched fist would likely have struck him already.

"Look closely! And you call yourself a ninja; you don't even have this much composure."

"Be gentle. If you make me vanish, you'll truly die here."

Ensei Uchiha spoke in a calm tone, finally allowing Kakashi Hatake to regain his reason.

Only then did Kakashi Hatake finally notice that this "person" who looked exactly like Rin possessed the Three Tomoe Sharingan unique to the Uchiha clan.

"A special unit designed against Obito! Android—Rin Nohara Model!"

"Oh, my apologies. I forgot this is also a special unit against you, but as a comrade, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Rest assured, it only borrows Rin's appearance. If Rin knew in the afterlife, she surely wouldn't mind her image continuing to serve Konoha."

Ensei Uchiha spoke, completely ignoring the murderous glare from Kakashi Hatake.
