N-A-A Chapter 47 I will definitely keep my promise to my companions!
Chapter 47 I will definitely keep my promise to my companions!
At the mountain stream campsite, the evening breeze carried a damp coolness.
Kakashi paused for a moment, then slowly spoke:
"sorry."
For ninjas, the leakage of ninjutsu information means danger.
If Jiraiya had known about Pain, he wouldn't have perished in Amegakure.
Kakashi then decisively chose to apologize.
Kazuhiko looked at Kakashi but didn't speak immediately.
If apologies were enough, what would be the point of having police?
"You will definitely give a detailed report on this mission to the Hokage, and I hope you can keep this a secret for me."
Kakashi frowned slightly.
Kazuhiko was telling the truth. When ANBU ninjas carried out missions, they would report every detail to the Hokage.
This is the duty of the ANBU ninja.
The Anbu is an extension of the Hokage's will, another pair of eyes used by the Hokage to control the overall situation.
Kakashi began to think.
During this escort mission, he needs to ensure Kazuhiko's personal safety and conduct a detailed assessment of the treatment of Tsunade to determine whether the other party intends to cure Tsunade.
The unknown bloodline limit that Kazuhiko just revealed is clearly unrelated to the content of this mission.
Thinking of this, Kakashi looked at Kazuhiko, his tone slightly cautious:
"As long as it's not a forbidden technique or a ninjutsu that could endanger the target's life, I can keep it a secret for you."
This sentence hit the funny bone right away.
This made Kazuhiko laugh on the spot.
Would Uchiha clan ninjas dare to research forbidden techniques?
Under the comprehensive and unobstructed surveillance of Konoha Village, if any Uchiha were to foolishly research forbidden techniques, there would be only one outcome—
The people were arrested in the morning, and the forbidden techniques were perfected by the organization in the afternoon.
As for using Storm Release to endanger Tsunade's life, that's utter nonsense.
If Tsunade could be taken down with just a bloodline limit, then the Sannin would probably be buried a long way off.
"I won't do something that would be suicidal."
Kazuhiko shook his head and began the demonstration.
The next moment, the chakra within his body began to fluctuate violently.
The two distinct streams of chakra, lightning and water, began to merge in his palm like a stream.
The pale blue lightning, carrying the warm water flow, did not repel it at all; instead, it burst forth with a brand new, sharp, and powerful energy reaction.
"Watch closely, I'll only use this once."
As Kazuhiko finished speaking, the two different types of chakra merged perfectly, and a black beam of lightning appeared in his hand, piercing through the tree trunk and sweeping across the rocks.
Wherever the beam of light passed, trees fell and rocks were cut and broken, revealing smooth cross-sections.
At the cut, the remaining black lightning continued to flicker, leaving traces of burning and seeping chakra.
"This is... the bloodline limit resulting from the fusion of lightning and water!"
Kakashi's pupils contracted sharply; witnessing this scene firsthand shocked him even more.
He had seen countless bloodline limits, such as the Sharingan, Byakugan, Shikotsumyaku, and Ice Release, all of which were innate talents.
But Kazuhiko's bloodline was a completely new bloodline that was clearly and distinctly fused with the two chakra nature transformations right before his eyes!
"Storm Release".
Kazuhiko withdrew his hand, and the black beam of light in his palm slowly dissipated.
"It's not a forbidden technique, nor is it a special ninjutsu developed with the intention of harming Tsunade."
"This is simply a bloodline technique I developed by mastering the transformations of both lightning and water chakra natures and through countless fusion practices. That's all."
Kakashi stood there, his heart churning with turmoil.
He had accurate information from Kazuhiko, which indicated that the other party was not born with either lightning or water chakra attributes.
First, learn and master the new chakra nature, then practice chakra nature transformation, and finally fuse the two natures to develop the corresponding bloodline limit.
It is already difficult for an ordinary person to master one chakra nature, and to master two or more at the same time is already a basic requirement for being promoted to Jonin.
The Uchiha before us has not only mastered two attribute transformations that are not his own to a "perfect" level, but he has also broken through attribute barriers and fused them to create a brand new bloodline limit. The effort he has put in behind the scenes is probably unimaginable to ordinary people.
"How did you do that?"
Kakashi's voice was a little hoarse.
He was born with all five elements, and could copy thousands of ninjutsu with his Sharingan, making him famous in the ninja world.
That's why he understands better than anyone how difficult it is to train in chakra nature transformation.
This is an achievement that cannot be described simply by the word "genius".
"I can keep it a secret for you, but..."
Kakashi was somewhat puzzled.
"Developing a bloodline limit must have been incredibly difficult. Now that you've succeeded, why stay anonymous?"
"That's right. Getting to where I am today is the result of my hard work and countless hours of sweat."
Kazuhiko met Kakashi's shocked gaze with a calm tone.
Of course, he does not deny that Deep Blue also provided a tiny bit of help in the process.
"I'm not really interested in ninjutsu. Rather than developing bloodline limits, I prefer to prove myself through psychological medicine and gain everyone's recognition."
Kakashi stared blankly at Kazuhiko, whose eyes were filled with determination.
"I see……"
He remembered Kai, who was always full of energy and shouted the slogan of "youth".
Despite lacking ninjutsu talent, Guy rose to the rank of Jonin through relentless taijutsu training, becoming the Blue Beast of Konoha.
Kai is to physical arts what Kazuhiko is to psychology.
Thinking about this, Kakashi felt a little ashamed.
He was hailed as a "genius among geniuses" and received countless accolades.
He developed the ninjutsu Chidori, which cuts through lightning, making his ninjutsu famous throughout the ninja world. From then on, he was known as "Raikiri".
Kakashi asked himself honestly, and although he didn't care much for fame, he did feel smug about it.
Compared to Kazuhiko, his own achievements seemed to have nothing to be proud of.
He took a deep breath, his eyes becoming extremely solemn:
"I will not report the matter of bloodline limits to the Hokage."
[Kakashi's affection for you has increased significantly to: Trust (Even Kazuhiko, who isn't very interested in ninjutsu, was able to develop a bloodline limit, Kakashi, what about you?)]
[Chonnin-level entry draw chance +1]
Getting the answer he wanted and gaining favor made Kazuhiko very happy.
Indeed, talk-no-jutsu is one of the strongest ninjutsu in the Naruto world.
"I believe in you. You'll definitely keep your promise to your comrades, right?"
"A comrade...?" Kakashi was taken aback.
Kazuhiko winked at him. "Of course, don't forget, we're now partners with a shared secret."
The word "comrade" stirred up ripples in Kakashi's long-dormant heart.
How long has it been since Obito and Rin passed away without any companions?
Kakashi's memory is not very clear.
He only remembered being in the shadows, his teammates changing one after another, carrying out missions and fighting side by side, but no one ever called him "comrade" again.
Kazuhiko's figure began to blur, slowly merging with Obito Uchiha from Kakashi's memories.
"Those who break the rules of the ninja world are called trash. Those who don't cherish their comrades are even worse than trash."
After a few seconds of silence, the dazed look in Kakashi's eyes faded, replaced by a gentle expression.
He nodded slightly, his voice very soft:
"I will definitely keep my promise to my companions."
Kakashi's affection for you has increased significantly.
