Naruto: From Kushina Uzumaki onwards, a traitor

Chiba wasn't worried at all about whether Kakashi would come looking for her.

As long as Kakashi wants to become stronger, he will definitely come to him, since Kakashi has nothing to lose anyway.

Kakashi asked impatiently, "I want to ask about the Breath of Lightning. The Breath of Lightning isn't complete, is it?"

During his training of Lightning Breathing, Kakashi always felt that the technique was somewhat incomplete, so when he heard Chiba say that he was the one who taught Lightning Breathing to Konoha, he wanted to ask Chiba about it for a long time.

Chiyu looked at Kakashi in surprise, not expecting that Kakashi would discover that the Thunder Breathing technique was incomplete.

Kakashi explained his problem: "When I'm practicing Lightning Breathing, I always feel a sense of stagnation, and this stagnation feels very awkward, like something is missing."

Chiba replied, "You can think of the Thunder Breathing I gave to Konoha back then as an incomplete version. I have now perfected the Thunder Breathing, but I won't tell you that."

The astute Kakashi immediately understood and asked, "Can I only tell you this by becoming your disciple?"

Qianyu nodded: "Yes, because this is one of my secret techniques."

Kakashi fell silent and stopped asking questions, deciding to follow Chiba and see how strong Chiba was before making a decision.

Kakashi followed Chiba into the forest east of Konoha.

This is the forest where Chiba was first simulated using Thunder Breathing by the system.

So many years have passed, and although the plants have grown back, some traces can still be seen.

"Show me your Thunder Flash skill first."

Kakashi slightly arched his body, assuming the starting stance for Thunder Flash.

"Breath of Thunder·Shape of One·Thunderbolt Flash!"

Kakashi channeled his lightning chakra into one leg, then unleashed a burst of power, creating a thunderous sound, before charging at high speed towards a tree. With a single, powerful slash, he left a deep gash in the tree trunk.

Chiba had seen several Konoha ninja using the Breath of Lightning in the Land of Hot Water, and to be honest, they were all quite...unpleasant.

Kakashi's Lightning Breathing looks the most decent, but it's nothing special.

It's simply using lightning-attribute chakra to stimulate the body and increase speed. The thunderous sound is just the sound of lightning-attribute chakra, not the sound of thunder tearing through the air after a burst of energy.

Kakashi looked at Chiba with expectant eyes and asked, "How was it?"

Chiyu replied, "I think it's watchable."

Even though Kakashi was wearing a mask, you could tell from his expression that he was definitely looking sullen.

"Then can I see your Thunderclap Flash?"

Chiyu nodded slightly. He had originally intended to show Kakashi his strength, so of course he would demonstrate it to him.

Qian Yu slightly arched her body.

A dazzling burst of lightning erupted from Qianyu's body, and the ground beneath her feet caved in.

"Breath of Thunder·Shape of One·Thunderbolt Flash!"

Qianyu unleashed a burst of energy, launching a lightning-fast sword-drawing slash at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, Qianyu had reached a great distance. With a single slash, a large tree that required three people to encircle was instantly cut down.

Kakashi stared at Chiyu with his mouth slightly agape in shock.

Chapter 95: Heading to the Land of Grass

Kakashi was so shocked when he saw Chiba unleash the Thunder Flash that his jaw nearly dropped.

The power of this lightning bolt is completely incomparable to his.

Moreover, Kakashi did not sense any pauses or hesitations during Thousand Feathers' performance; it was extremely smooth.

Kakashi doubted whether he was actually practicing the Breath of Lightning.

Could it be fake?

Chiyu returned to Kakashi and asked, "How was it? Was it alright?"

Kakashi pursed his lips.

What do you mean "okay"? It's absolutely amazing!

Qianyu continued, "I think you are aware of the shortcomings of Thunder Flash. Based on Thunder Flash, I have improved it with Thunder Flash Divine Speed, which can use the surrounding terrain to change the direction of the dash multiple times and is faster than Thunder Flash."

I haven't fully developed Thunder Flash: Divine Speed ​​yet, but even this unfinished version is already several times faster than the regular Thunder Flash.

Kakashi exclaimed in shock, "Several times faster? Can your eyes keep up?"

Chiba activated her Sharingan: "I can keep up because I have the Sharingan."

Kakashi frowned when he saw Chiba's Sharingan.

I never expected that Chiba was from the Uchiha clan.

Although Kakashi had Obito Uchiha, whom he could consider a friend, he didn't have any good feelings towards the Uchiha clan.

He and Obito Uchiha could be considered friends because Obito Uchiha was different from other Uchiha.

Because Obito Uchiha was kind and enthusiastic, he was always late because he had helped others many times.

However, Obito Uchiha was mediocre, so he was looked down upon by his classmates and even called the "bottom of the Uchiha clan." Even his fellow Uchiha clan members looked down on him.

Obito Uchiha considered him his rival at the Ninja Academy and always sparred with him, though he always lost.

Seeing Kakashi frowning, Chiyu explained to him, "Having the Sharingan doesn't mean I'm an Uchiha. You should have heard people call my name without mentioning the Uchiha name."

Becoming my disciple will not only teach you Thunder Breathing, but I will also help you develop a training plan. Although the speed may be too fast for your eyes to keep up, by strengthening your dynamic vision through training, you should still be able to keep up.

Moreover, besides Wind Release, I am also quite proficient in other esoteric techniques, so you can learn a lot from me after becoming my disciple.

So what's your choice?

After pondering for a moment, Kakashi looked at Chiyu and asked, "Why me?"

Kakashi still couldn't understand why Chiba had chosen him all of a sudden.

Qianyu replied, "I chose you because you have good talent. I don't have the time or energy to teach a mediocre person. If it weren't for some reasons that I had to take on a disciple, I wouldn't have taken on a disciple."

If you don't want to, that's fine too. You can go back to the Ninja Academy now, and they should continue to assign you a Jonin to lead a team.

After thinking for a while, Kakashi agreed, "Teacher, I want to become your disciple!"

Qianyu smiled and said, "Very good. Now that you have become my disciple, I will also take on the responsibility of being your master. Go back to the Ninja Academy and tell them this news, and ask them to remove your name from the assignment list."

Then go back and pack your things. Tomorrow morning, wait for me at the entrance of Konoha Village. We'll set off together for the Land of Grass. Rather than letting you train on your own, I prefer teaching you through actual combat.

Kakashi exclaimed in delight, "Are we going to the Land of Grass?"

Chiyu nodded: "Yes, the reason I returned to Konoha this time is to obtain the transfer order to the Land of Grass. Isn't your father, Lord Sakumo, the commander of the Land of Grass?"

Kakashi was overjoyed. He had thought he would never see his father again, but unexpectedly, after going around in circles, he was going back to the Land of Grass.

Kakashi said excitedly, "Okay, I'll go right away!"

Kakashi bid farewell to Chiba and returned to the Ninja Academy.

The assignment of Jonin to lead teams was completed long ago, and now the remaining Genin are being assigned to Chunin.

However, Minato Namikaze, Obito Uchiha, and Rin Nohara are still there because they are missing one member.

Kakashi hasn't explicitly stated whether he'll follow Chiba, so they're waiting for his decision.

When Obito Uchiha saw Kakashi return, he hurriedly asked, "Kakashi, are you with that person, or are you with us?"

Kakashi replied, "I've already become Chiba-sensei's student, I'm sorry."

Kakashi naturally wouldn't apologize to Obito Uchiha, but rather to Minato Namikaze.

Minato Namikaze said gently, "It's alright. Chiba is very strong. It's a good thing that you can become his disciple."

Obito Uchiha grumbled, "What? Kakashi, why aren't you with us? It's better that you're not here, so you don't drag us down!"

Rin Nohara looked a little disappointed when she heard that Kakashi wasn't going with them.

Kakashi was too lazy to argue with Obito Uchiha: "I'm going to the Land of Grass with Senba-sensei tomorrow. Goodbye."

Kakashi left the Ninja Academy again.

After Kakashi left, the vice principal said to Minato Namikaze, "Well, there's nothing I can do then, Minato. I'll select another genin to join your team."

Minato Namikaze nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble the vice principal."

Finally, Minato Namikaze's team was supplemented with a genin.

The supplementary ninja was a commoner, but he was still considered one of the better ones.

Chiba returned home. Kushina Uzumaki's mission required her to leave the village for two days, and Chiba was leaving tomorrow, so they naturally wouldn't run into each other.

Qianyu took out paper and pen, wrote a letter, and left it behind.

The next day.

After getting up and washing up, Qianyu picked up her backpack and left home, heading towards the gate of Konoha Village.

Kakashi was already waiting at the gates of Konoha.

Because Chiba only said he would leave in the morning yesterday, without specifying what time, Kakashi had to arrive at the Konoha gate before dawn to wait.

Kakashi trotted up to Chiba and greeted her, "Chiba-sensei!"

Qianyu asked, "Is everything ready?"

Kakashi nodded and said, "Everything is ready!"

"Then let's go."

Chiba and Kakashi left Konoha and headed to the Land of Grass.

On the way there, Kakashi couldn't wait to see Chiba's perfected Thunder Breathing.

Chiba explained to Kakashi, "To fully unleash the power of Thunder Breathing, you need to coordinate it with your breathing."

Kakashi looked bewildered; he had considered many possibilities.

For example, the manipulation of chakra, the key points of the movements, and so on.

However, Kakashi never expected that Chiba would say to coordinate with breathing.
