Chakra Nature Transformation Training!

"Hoo..."

Seeing Kakashi nod, Sasuke let out a sigh of relief.

Using his brother Itachi as an excuse was a helpless move for Sasuke.

Under Kakashi's questioning, Sasuke couldn't very well be blunt and say, "I'm a transmigrator who has watched the Naruto anime and knows every jutsu like the back of my hand." Of course, even if he said those words, no one would believe him.

As for Itachi copying his Chidori, the broad-minded Kakashi had no intention of pursuing the matter. After all, this jutsu would eventually be passed down, and since Sasuke was his student now, teaching it to him early could be considered a stroke of serendipity.

After clarifying the situation, Kakashi stared at Sasuke and chuckled, "Sasuke, you still haven't mastered the Chidori, have you?"

"Yes, that is exactly why I came to find you, Kakashi-sensei." Nodding, Sasuke continued, "I can gather chakra in my palm, but I cannot produce the lightning effect."

Seeing through Sasuke's problem at a glance, Kakashi didn't respond immediately, but instead pressed his hands together and performed a series of rapid hand seals.

"Chidori!"

Accompanied by Kakashi's sharp shout, his right hand was instantly covered in brilliant, dazzling lightning that emitted a "chirping" sound.

Immediately after, Kakashi's eyes narrowed, his feet stomped the ground, and he lunged toward a giant tree nearby with the speed of lightning.

"Bang!"

As Kakashi struck the giant tree, the brilliant lightning erupted, and the incredibly sturdy tree collapsed with a roar, sending a cloud of wood chips flying from its center.

"Is this the power of the Chidori?"

Rubbing his chest lightly, Sasuke was shaken and somewhat flustered.

He had only ever seen the terrifying destructive power of the Chidori in the anime; seeing it in person, Sasuke was naturally stunned by its might.

"Actually, the Chidori is a Lightning Release jutsu that combines chakra nature transformation with shape transformation. If you truly want to master it, you must undergo training in chakra nature transformation."

Having successfully demonstrated the Chidori, Kakashi looked at the shocked Sasuke and said softly.

"Kakashi-sensei, then please teach me! No matter the cost, I am willing!"

Clenching his fists, Sasuke said urgently.

Sasuke had been practicing the Chidori for nearly a month, but he had only performed shape transformation on his chakra, not nature transformation, which was why his Chidori lacked any real power.

Regarding wind-style nature transformation, having watched Naruto's training in the anime, Sasuke roughly knew how to proceed, but for lightning-style nature transformation, he truly had no idea what to do.

Appreciating Sasuke's eager expression, Kakashi thought for a moment and then said, "I can teach you, but you must agree to one condition..."

"Kakashi-sensei, what condition? As long as it isn't too difficult, I agree."

Blinking, the look in Sasuke's eyes as he gazed at Kakashi instantly brightened.

"My condition is simple: you are only allowed to use the Chidori once you have awakened your Sharingan."

Without hesitation, Kakashi stated plainly.

"Sharingan?"

The Sharingan, the dojutsu of the Uchiha Clan, could not only perceive chakra pathways and see through an opponent's subtle movements and hand seals, but it could also cast genjutsu to control them.

Of course, higher-level Sharingan possessed even greater abilities, such as Susanoo, Amaterasu, Izanami, and so on.

Members of the Uchiha clan were born with the potential to obtain the Sharingan, but it required the process of "awakening." This usually occurred under the stimulation of extreme crisis, often when life and death were at stake.

"Why must I wait until I awaken the Sharingan to use it?"

Looking at Kakashi's serious face, Sasuke couldn't help but ask again.

"You just saw me perform the Chidori. Although it possesses great power, the attack speed is so fast that it is extremely difficult to detect an opponent's counterattack. Without the Sharingan, using the Chidori recklessly is incredibly dangerous."

Recalling the words of his own teacher, the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato, Kakashi explained slowly.

"Oh..."

Kakashi's words reminded Sasuke of the many weaknesses of the Chidori.

However, even so, Sasuke still wanted to learn it. After all, his chakra had the highest affinity for the lightning element, and practicing lightning-style jutsu was the only way to unleash its overwhelming power.

"Kakashi-sensei, very well, I agree!"

Although he didn't know when he would awaken his Sharingan, Sasuke intended to master the Chidori first so he would have time to develop new jutsu later.

"Since that is the case, let the training begin!"

Seeing that Sasuke had agreed, Kakashi smiled and said.

"Yes!"

Nodding, Sasuke was already impatient to start.

"Bang!"

On the quiet training ground by the river, a low sound suddenly rang out as Sasuke collapsed powerlessly to the ground.

An entire afternoon of training in chakra nature transformation had left Sasuke completely exhausted.

"What an incredible kid!"

Seeing Sasuke finally collapse, Kakashi, who had been guiding him from the side, sighed with admiration.

An hour ago, Sasuke's stamina had already hit its limit, and Kakashi had originally intended to end the training there. However, at Sasuke's insistent request, he gritted his teeth and persisted for another hour; this astonishing perseverance moved Kakashi deeply.

"Sasuke, do you want me to carry you back?"

Knowing that Sasuke's body had reached its breaking point, Kakashi walked over and chuckled softly.

"No... no need, I'm not that weak yet..."

Shaking his head, Sasuke responded with a smile.

"Sasuke, then the training ends here. Go home and get some good rest; we have a mission to carry out tomorrow!"

After hearing Sasuke's words, Kakashi instructed him.

"No... no problem..."

Sasuke smiled faintly.

"Right! I'll be heading off then!"

Since he still needed to report the results of this trial to the Hokage, Kakashi nodded and vanished from the spot.

Once Kakashi had left, Sasuke slowly pulled a red military ration pill from his pocket. This was a pill Uchiha Mikoto had specially made for him; it not only satisfied hunger but could also restore chakra and stamina in a short amount of time.

Eating too much of this compressed food could cause indigestion, so Sasuke generally avoided eating it casually, but in his current situation, he could no longer afford to be picky.

Swallowing the pill and closing his eyes, Sasuke, who was in a state of extreme exhaustion, could clearly feel his strength gradually returning.

It's so good to have a mother!

With his stamina partially restored, Sasuke grinned.

"Caw~"

Just as Sasuke slowly stood up to head home, a black crow suddenly flew out from the woods and landed on his shoulder.

"Oh no, I forgot..."

Seeing the crow, Sasuke remembered that he had an appointment to meet Shisui at their usual spot this afternoon.

Knowing that Shisui must have been waiting for a long time, Sasuke didn't care how much his stamina had recovered; he stomped his foot and rushed toward the Uchiha Clan district.
