Naruto: Releasing Chakra Limits at the Start

Yoru's words struck a blow to Sasuke's heart.

He was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

Yes, he used to think he was a genius too, that he could catch up with Itachi Uchiha, and that one day he would be strong enough to kill Itachi Uchiha, avenge the Uchiha clan, and avenge his parents.

But Ye Yu's appearance repeatedly shattered his already meager confidence.

Uchiha Itachi was too powerful in his heart. The more terrifying power Yoru showed, the more he felt the huge gap between himself and Uchiha Itachi.

He even began to doubt whether he could really catch up with Itachi Uchiha and kill him on his own.

Do I have that ability?

Was it possible that he would never be able to avenge his family and his parents in this lifetime?

After a long silence, Sasuke lowered his head and said in a solemn tone, "I want to, but the stronger you become, the more I think about his strength. The gap between us is too big. I really have no hope of killing him."

This was the first time Sasuke had ever said something so disheartening.

Even Ye Yu hadn't expected this.

His words were originally intended to provoke Sasuke's competitive spirit.

Unexpectedly, his hopes were extinguished in an instant.

For a moment, Ye Yu felt extremely embarrassed.

"Don't forget, you're that person's younger brother. You share the same parents and bloodline. Why is your bloodline inferior to his?"

"Perhaps you are better than him?"

"What you need most is not to learn any powerful ninjutsu, but to develop your Sharingan properly."

"This is the most fundamental weapon of your Uchiha clan."

"It would be the most foolish thing for you to learn ninjutsu from me."

"I learned ninjutsu because I didn't have the Sharingan, since I had no other means of fighting besides ninjutsu."

"Can you be like me? If I had the Sharingan, I would definitely focus my main efforts on developing it. You learning ninjutsu from me is putting the cart before the horse and is too stupid."

“Sasuke, I never thought you would be weaker than your brother. Remember, you and he share the same bloodline. You can be stronger than him.”

"Moreover, it's thanks to the eyes of your Uchiha clan, thanks to the renowned Sharingan. Your Sharingan has already been awakened. Continue to develop it, and you will surpass him."

"You are from the Uchiha clan, not some nameless ninja. Don't get your efforts in the wrong direction."

"Just as Naruto's most important task was to master the Nine-Tails' power, your eyes are your very foundation."

"Ninjutsu is merely an aid to these eyes."

Yoru patted Sasuke on the shoulder and said earnestly.

Of course, Yoru's main purpose in saying all this was to prevent Sasuke from actually becoming his disciple.

That would be too embarrassing.

Moreover, given Sasuke's personality, even if Yoru refuses, Sasuke has to be willing to accept it. If Sasuke is unwilling to accept it...

Even if Yoru unilaterally refuses, Sasuke will keep pestering him.

He didn't want to get involved in these troubles.

After hearing Yoru's words, Sasuke raised his head, looked at Yoru, and asked seriously, "Do I really have any hope?"

Sasuke rarely says things that lack confidence.

Ye Yu laughed and said, "Believe me, you will be much stronger than your brother, but you are too eager for quick success."

“Cultivation takes time; you can’t become fat overnight. Your eyes also need to be developed gradually. You’re only twelve years old; why are you in such a hurry?”

"Remember, a ninja's peak fighting strength is after the age of twenty."

Do you think you're weak right now?

"Ask Kakashi-sensei, you're already stronger than many Chunin."

"As long as you learn from Kakashido how to develop the Sharingan and unleash the power of your Uchiha clan bloodline, defeating your brother, let alone the Hokage, is not impossible."

"Don't forget, the reason why the Sharingan is so feared in the ninja world is because the Sharingan truly possesses power so strong that it inspires despair."

Sasuke had been so discouraged during this period that he had lost all hope.

Hearing Ye Yu say that, he regained his composure.

Their confidence was rekindled.

Sasuke quickly noticed something was wrong and looked at Yoru with a puzzled expression, asking, "But you're the same age as me, so why are you so strong?"

"Your strength is now greater than that of a Jonin; you even killed an elite Jonin."

Ye Yu hesitated for a moment, then quickly said, "That's because I've reached my peak, while you haven't."

"Let me give you an example. If Naruto suddenly mastered the power of the Nine-Tails, his strength would instantly rise to the level of the Hokage."

“I have been accumulating strength for many years. You only see that I seem very strong now, but you don’t see how hard I trained and how much blood and sweat I put in over the past few years to get to where I am today.”

"And your breakthrough period will be when your Sharingan awakens the three-tomoe Sharingan. At that time, I will have to look up to you."

"Kakashi-sensei is so powerful with only one Sharingan. Think about it, you have two Sharingan. If you awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan, do you think you would be weaker than Kakashi-sensei?"

"Your brother only seems to have a three-tomoe Sharingan, right?"

"By the way, how old was your brother when he left the village?"

Sasuke frowned and replied, "13 years old."

Sasuke remembers it very clearly.

"That settles it then. Your brother left the village at the age of 13, which means that for all these years, he hasn't even had a teacher to teach him, and he has to evade Konoha's pursuit. Do you think he would have had time to train?"

"Perhaps his strength has deteriorated to the point where he is not even as strong as when he left Konoha?"

"what about you?"

"You are surrounded by a peaceful and stable environment in Konoha, with a systematic education and excellent teachers."

"We have plenty of Jonin in Konoha. There's Kakashi-sensei, who is proficient in ninjutsu and has a lot of experience in developing the Sharingan, as well as many elite Jonin who are proficient in taijutsu and genjutsu. Those people are all Kakashi-sensei's classmates and friends."

"What is your relationship with Kakashi-sensei? Of course you can ask them for advice on ninjutsu, taijutsu and genjutsu. I don't believe your brother has such good conditions while wandering the ninja world."

"Most importantly, you have more time to train, and you often carry out missions, which allows you to transform the ninjutsu you practice into real combat experience."

"That's why I think you'll be better than your brother."

Of course, Ye Yu made all of these things up.

Yoru's only goal was to prevent Sasuke from getting entangled with him.

Of course, there was some truth to what Ye Yu said.

Therefore, Sasuke couldn't refute it.

And I believed it.

Not only Sasuke, but even Naruto and Sakura seemed to be deep in thought.

Ye Yu secretly wiped away a bead of sweat.

Kakashi stared at Yoru with a completely bewildered expression.

I wondered what this kid's mouth was made of, how could he talk so much?

The most outrageous thing is that Kakashi knew very well that Yoru had only one purpose in saying all that: don't bother me, go find Kakashi, and if Kakashi can't do it, go find the ninjas of Konoha.

This is clearly an attempt to shirk responsibility.

Kakashi really couldn't say anything.

He couldn't refute what Ye Yu said.

After all, he was indeed Sasuke's mentor Jonin, and teaching Sasuke was his responsibility.

If Sasuke really asked Kakashi to introduce him to Guy, Asuma, and Kurenai, Kakashi would have no reason to refuse.
