Kakashi Teaches Naruto

Kakashi Naruto spoke with a serious expression, then said softly, "Do you want to learn Fire Release Ninjutsu? Then we'll have to see if you have any fire-style Chakra."

Kakashi complained again, "Being someone's teacher is such a hassle, especially with Naruto. He's nothing like the Fourth Hokage's child. His talent is just terrible. He can't learn any Ninjutsu except for the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu."

Hearing Kakashi's teasing, Naruto said awkwardly, "Brother Kakashi! I fought Sasuke again this time. I almost ripped his face out of shape. Iruka-sensei stopped me in the end, otherwise I would have defeated Uchiha Sasuke and become the number one genius in our class."

Kakashi looked at Naruto's mouth, which was slightly crooked as he spoke, and said awkwardly, "Sasuke is pulling your mouth again; you're spitting when you talk."

Naruto grinned and said proudly, "I received guidance from Toraji- senpai. To defeat Uchiha Sasuke, you must use elbow strikes. I've already developed the Uzumaki Elbow Strike and the Multiple Shadow Clone Elbow Strike. With these techniques, I'm sure I can defeat Uchiha Sasuke!"

Kakashi, looking embarrassed, said, "You're training with Shadow Clone, did that Toraji, teach you? This technique has some risks, so don't create too many Shadow Clones."

Upon hearing this, Naruto said with a smug look on his face, "I copied it from Uchiha Sasuke. He loves to train with Shadow Clones in private, and he even creates ten Shadow Clones to train together. I'm going to defeat him, become the number one genius in our class, and win Sakura's favor."

Kakashi watched Naruto train using twenty Shadow Clones, his face filled with shock. He thought to himself, "He's only seven years old? He already has such a massive amount of Chakra, almost as much as me. Naruto should inherit the Uzumaki Clan's physical prowess."

Naruto called out again, "Kakashi- nii, please teach me Fire Release Ninjutsu! Uchiha Sasuke's fire-breathing is so awesome, it almost made Sakura faint. I want to breathe fire too."

Seeing this, Kakashi's expression turned awkward again. He thought to himself, "Naruto isn't thinking about getting stronger, he's thinking about getting cooler. And I've noticed that Naruto's hairstyle is modeled after Uchiha Qingcheng, with a long, center-parted cut and cheap hairspray."

Kakashi muttered to himself, "Sensei, your son seems to be a fan of the Uchiha Clan. He's even copying their Uchiha Clan and wants to learn their Uchiha Clan -Fire Release. It's really terrible."

Kakashi then took out Chakra testing strip to check Naruto's Chakra nature and see if Naruto could train in Fire Release.

Kakashi then said seriously, "There are five natures of Chakra: fire, wind, lightning, water, and earth. Use this Chakra testing paper to test the Chakra within your body. If it's fire-style Chakra, the paper will catch fire."

Wind Release Chakra: The paper will split in half; Lightning Release Chakra: The paper will wrinkle.

Water-style Chakra: paper will get wet; Earth-style Chakra: paper will tear.

If there are five attributes, the test paper will show: one area on fire, one area split open, one area wrinkled, one area wet, and the last area will crumble into pieces.

Naruto was completely bewildered by these words, and said with a troubled expression, "Kakashi- nii, I don't understand what you're saying, but I do know that to breathe fire, you need fire-style Chakra."

Kakashi looked at Naruto's rather dim-witted expression and thought to himself, "Talking to him is like casting pearls before swine; he got his intelligence from his teacher's wife."

Naruto, following Kakashi's instructions, took the Chakra testing paper, infused it with his Chakra, and then cut it in half.

Kakashi said with a serious expression, "Your Chakra is only wind-style. Obviously, you can't train in Fire Release unless you train in fire-style Chakra transformations."

Upon hearing this, Naruto said awkwardly, "What do you mean? It means I can't breathe fire with my mouth like Uchiha Sasuke, right?"

Kakashi, seeing that Naruto finally understood, thought to himself, "Naruto's really smart. I've been explaining for ages, and he finally got it."

Kakashi then said with a serious expression, "Although you can't breathe fire, you can learn Wind Release Ninjutsu. With your Shadow Clones, you should be able to learn it quickly."

Naruto's face lit up with a smile when he heard that he could learn Ninjutsu. "Even if it's not fire-breathing, it's still Ninjutsu."

Naruto smiled and said, "I want that super cool Wind Release Ninjutsu. Next time, I'll use it to beat up Uchiha Sasuke."

Kakashi looked at the jubilant Naruto and said very seriously, "Ninjutsu is a very dangerous thing. Although you can use Ninjutsu in the sparring practice at the Ninja Academy, you must use it carefully and be careful not to accidentally hurt other students."

Naruto nodded immediately, his face full of anticipation, and said, "What kind of Ninjutsu is it? I'm so excited!"

Kakashi directly taught Naruto the Wind Release: Gale Palm, a D-rank Ninjutsu. The advantage of this Ninjutsu is its simplicity; it's extremely simple, requiring only two hand seals.

Kakashi was also afraid of overly complicated Ninjutsu, Naruto couldn't remember the hand seals, so he chose this simplest Ninjutsu.

Naruto watched as Kakashi's hand opened and closed, and a massive whirlwind of energy appeared on Kakashi's right hand.

Kakashi then shouted, "Wind Release: Gale Palm!" The swirling hurricane-like airflow Naruto tremble.

Naruto, seeing how simple yet powerful the Ninjutsu was, exclaimed excitedly, "I want this Ninjutsu! I want Uchiha Sasuke to test the power of Naruto's Air Current! Hahaha!"

Kakashi then began to teach Naruto step by step, explaining that the hand seals were simply an opening and closing of the palms, one more seal than the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu.

After Naruto understood, he had a large group of Shadow Clones train while he continued to refine his Chakra.

After watching Naruto enter a meditative state, Kakashi said, "I've prepared the ramen for you. Don't wander around the streets tonight; the village isn't very safe these days."

After giving his warning, Kakashi left Naruto's house and returned directly to the Hokage Building. Walking down the street, Kakashi saw that many residents had turned off their lights and gone to sleep.

The Konoha of Konoha is no longer as prosperous as it once was. Many shops have closed down and sold off their storefronts at low prices. Uchiha Street remains intact, still brightly lit and bustling with people.

Kakashi asked with a puzzled look, "If the Police Force's coup succeeds, will Konoha return to its former prosperity? What will happen to the villagers?"

Kakashi then looked at the ninja tool shops in Konoha; they were all closed down, and the Police Forces had looted all the ninja tools and Explosive Tags.

Kakashi complained again, "This is really too much trouble. The war between Sarutobi and the Uchiha Clan has actually caused the village to suffer."

Naruto learned Gale Palm Wind Release: Gale Palm in just half an hour, and modified it into Naruto's Air Current. He then excitedly said, "Tomorrow I'm going to test it on Sasuke and blow away all his Fire Release techniques, hehe."
