Chapter 16 – Chakra

  "Huh, Sasuke, you've got two reactions here!" Naruto, bouncing around, couldn't stop his excitement after learning he had the rare Wind nature and particurly strong chakra. He circled Sasuke and then saw a wrinkled and burning paper strip.

  "Oh, Sasuke has two natures. Lightning and Fire, but it doesn't seem to have changed. Sakura, you're a single nature, Water. Alright, now that we know your chakra natures, let's talk about the characteristics and uses of each chakra nature."

  "Isn't that how you just use chakra? We don't need so much of this. Knowing ninjutsu is enough, right?" Inuzuka Kiba was the first to express his dissatisfaction. You see, most people here just needed to be able to release chakra and use ninjutsu. They didn't care about the chakra's nature, let alone understand its various uses.

  "Then, when facing certain ninjutsu, do you know how to counter them?" Kakashi's dead fish eyes gnced at Kiba and asked in return.

  Indeed, this theoretical knowledge wasn't just to teach these students how to perform ninjutsu, but more importantly, to learn the techniques for countering different ninjutsu. This could save chakra on the battlefield and was a very effective method.

  "Tch, in the face of fate, everything is fleeting. No matter how hard you try, it's useless. If fate hasn't chosen you, you won't become strong."

  "Yo, Neji, you seem to have quite a few insights at such a young age. Tell me, do you think I'm someone chosen by fate?" Kakashi, interrupted multiple times by Neji's rebuttals, finally had his patience tested and decided to give Neji a lesson first.

  "Naturally not. You don't have the qualifications," Neji was the first to dare speak to Copy Ninja Kakashi like this. Kakashi's fame was almost universally known in the ninja world, consistently ranking high on the bounty lists of various countries. After all, he was only in his te twenties and had already wreaked havoc during the previous Third Great Ninja War, especially after the incident at Kannabi Bridge and the impntation of the Sharingan, using his original Lightning Release to intimidate an entire front. And now, he was being mocked by a seven or eight-year-old kid?

  "Since you don't think I have the qualifications, then let me show you the extent of what effort can achieve. I'll give you a one-hand handicap and won't use ninjutsu. Come on, attack me," Saying this, Kakashi took out a novel titled Make-Out Paradise, pced it in his left hand, and began to read. "Come on, why aren't you attacking yet?"

  "You dare!" Neji was still as arrogant as ever and couldn't stand that Kakashi was challenging him while reading a book. He adopted the Gentle Fist stance, activated his Byakugan, quickly approached Kakashi, and then thrust a palm towards the novel.

  The students on the side couldn't see Neji's hand speed clearly, but Kakashi wasn't one of those students. Still reading his book, he took a step back in a fsh, grabbed Neji's wrist, and with a casual flick, smmed him into a tree.

  "What..." Neji was somewhat shocked. He had just attacked with all his strength and speed, yet it was so easily broken, and he was even countered. What humiliation!

  Neji roared and jumped out of the tree he had broken. "Kakashi! You will surely die today!" Neji's pride had been wounded, and Kakashi knew that further provoking Neji now would have a negative effect on future teaching. He just needed to make him feel the effect of effort.

  However, it seemed he had gone a bit too far.

  Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!

  Neji could already deliver sixty-four consecutive strikes with this continuous palm technique, and once this move was initiated, the attacker couldn't stop it themselves.

  "Yo, this has become troublesome," Kakashi's eyelids drooped slightly, his expression seemingly serious. In reality, though, he was just worried that Hyuga Neji would hold a grudge in the future. "Sigh, no choice. Let's deal with the immediate problem first, and worry about the future ter."

  First palm! Thwack! The scene Neji had envisioned of himself sending Kakashi flying didn't happen. Instead, he felt another tap on his back.

  Neji couldn't stop his momentum and smmed headfirst into the ground. Then a foot grabbed his leg, pulled him out of the ground, and then swung him back to his original position.

  "Satisfied? This is the extent of what effort can achieve. Your current mindset will make you the weakest among these students."

  "Tch," As expected, Neji was still unconvinced. But he couldn't win, so he didn't say anything more.

  "Alright, let's continue talking about the characteristics of these chakra natures," Kakashi put his book away and began to expin the various types of chakra.

  "First, the five basic elemental chakras have a retionship of mutual strengthening and weakening. Wind is strong against Lightning, Lightning is strong against Earth, Earth is strong against Water, Water is strong against Fire, 1 and Fire is strong against Wind. Using the appropriate elemental technique will yield multiplied effects. For example, using Wind Release: Great Vacuum Palm and Water Release: Water Formation Wall against Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique will have completely different results. I hope you all remember this retionship of strengths and weaknesses and use it flexibly on the battlefield or when coordinating with teammates," Saying this, Kakashi began to demonstrate.

  Shadow Clone Technique! Three shadow clones nded in response. The original body and another shadow clone simultaneously performed Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique, while the opposing shadow clones performed Wind Release: Great Vacuum Palm and Water Release: Water Formation Wall.

  The result was obvious. The shadow clone using Wind Release was directly hit and dissipated. The other students present all looked enlightened, but Haru didn't. He inexplicably sensed the chakra, and the amount of chakra contained in the Water Release and Wind Release just now was different. Thus, he had a bold guess: as long as one used sufficiently powerful chakra or a special form, even Wind Release could destroy Fire Release.

  Although he couldn't test this now, this idea naturally took root in Haru's mind. He had long thought that each chakra nature would have a most suitable physical form, and as long as that form was found, the elemental technique could exert its maximum effect. However, with his current knowledge and chakra reserves, he obviously couldn't support research in this area.

  "Did everyone understand? Then now I'll expin kekkei genkai. Some ninjas have special elemental techniques, and these techniques involve adding a small amount of Yin or Yang chakra to the ordinary five elements, resulting in a change in their nature. The amount of Yin-Yang chakra used is something they themselves can't expin clearly; it's a kind of talent, born with powerful elemental techniques. However, almost all kekkei genkai come with a kekkei genkai disease, and the stronger the kekkei genkai, the greater the impact of this disease. As far as I know, the Uchiha cn can go blind from overusing their eyes."
