Chapter 20 - Kakashi's Reluctance

Things progressed smoothly.

The Uchiha Style's Ninjutsu and Taijutsu is a high-speed combat method.

Flying Thunder God Technique is too!

Integrating them only required a slight adaptation to the change in movement methods.

Before, high-speed movement was achieved using the Uchiha's unique Body Flicker Technique.

Now, high-speed movement is achieved using the Flying Thunder God Technique's spatial movement.

At first, Uchiha Shin thought it would be difficult.

But actually doing it was unexpectedly simple.

On this point...

The neural reaction speed granted by the 'Child of Space-Time (Gold)' term.

And the Uchiha's unique ninja tool throwing technique contained within the Uchiha Style.

When Shin used a Kunai marked with the Flying Thunder God Technique seal with the Uchiha's throwing technique.

The extraordinary neural reaction produced a subtle chemical change with it.

Just like that, the combined training of Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Flying Thunder God Technique.

Was completed with considerable ideal maturity!

Just as Uchiha Shin was thinking.

Clapping sounds came from outside the training ground.

"Uchiha Shin, your application of the Flying Thunder God Technique just now was truly spectacular."

The speaker was Minato Namikaze.

He had arrived at this training ground with the three members of Minato's Team at some point.

Regarding Uchiha Shin's training just now.

He praised it from the bottom of his heart!

Those flashes of movement, in terms of speed, were only slightly slower.

But, this kind of high-speed spatial movement.

As the one who had elevated the Flying Thunder God Technique, he knew it better than anyone.

It was already enough to make a name for himself in the Ninja World!

He was filled with emotion about all of this.

This boy, who had just started and was initially just an extra when Kakashi joined Minato's Team.

After displaying his 'monster' potential, he had surpassed others.

He had gradually become the focus of training for both him and Lord Third.

This change was truly unexpected.

However, there was nothing to be done.

Who told his disciple.

To be so shocking.

As Minato's thoughts were running wild.

The members of Minato's Team were also incredibly shocked.

"Did I see that correctly just now?! Was that Sensei Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique?" Rin Nohara was a medical Ninja, so her strength was limited.

She couldn't distinguish whether Uchiha Shin's shifting figure was...

Body Flicker Technique or Flying Thunder God Technique's spatial movement.

She just felt that he was so strong, so fast, and so amazing!

But the flashing light with sparks made her feel a strong sense of déjà vu.

So she asked that shocked question.

"That's right... Rin! That's Sensei Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique!" Uchiha Obito, at this moment, responded to Rin with a serious expression.

He couldn't help but be serious!

As a Uchiha, he had also trained in the Uchiha Style.

Limited by his talent, he couldn't learn the Ninjutsu and Taijutsu.

But he could still do the throwing technique.

Even though he didn't have the Sharingan now, thanks to Tenten's eye-care actions.

His eyesight was still extraordinary.

He had long noticed that beneath Uchiha Shin's flashing movements.

Every place he appeared, there was a special Kunai.

The placement of these Kunai.

Was too similar to the habits of the Uchiha throwing technique!

Thinking that Shin had only been gone for a few days.

He had actually integrated the Flying Thunder God Technique taught by Sensei Minato into the Uchiha's Ninjutsu and Taijutsu combat method.

Uchiha Obito was both happy for Shin and conflicted about it.

In short, his thoughts right now.

Were incredibly twisted!

Unlike his two still-shocked companions.

When he saw Uchiha Shin, his teammate who had joined Minato's Team with him.

Had actually grown to this point.

He could no longer suppress his desire to compare himself.

He took a few steps forward, coming before Shin, who was about to greet them.

He said seriously:

"Shin... The match we talked about last time, let's have it here today!"

He didn't want to wait any longer.

He wanted to see if Uchiha Shin, who was still a rookie a few months ago.

Had truly become so strong because of his determination to get the Sharingan?!

He was a little skeptical.

He had been a Genius since he was a child.

Graduating at five, becoming a Chunin at six, and having met the recent mission requirements.

He was preparing to be promoted to Jonin.

It wasn't like he hadn't seen elite Uchiha with Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

But, in terms of growth rate, those guys.

Were simply not worth mentioning compared to the friend in front of him.

He really wanted to confirm.

Uchiha Shin, now...

How strong he really was!

Hearing this, Uchiha Shin, who had just come out of his thoughts and was about to greet his companions.

Stopped the right hand he was about to raise.

Kakashi's serious expression made him take it very seriously.

The original body had been Kakashi's friend for a considerable time.

That memory allowed him, after awakening his past life's memories, to know.

How unusual Kakashi was at this moment.

One must know, after his Father White Fang committed suicide.

Kakashi only cared about missions, as for his companions...

Out of his kind nature, he still cared, but not much.

At this moment.

Seeing Kakashi Hatake's expression, which was the opposite of the indifference in the original body's memory.

He knew that he had truly become a friend recognized by Kakashi!

Towards friends, Shin was also very direct.

Forming the confrontation hand seal:

"No problem, Kakashi!"

Kakashi also formed the confrontation hand seal, and Chakra fluctuations began to emanate from his body.

Seeing this, Minato Namikaze, who was standing beside them, quickly pulled Obito and Rin.

Obito and Rin were also sensible and obediently stood outside the training ground.

After all—

This was the first time Kakashi had shown a serious expression since joining Minato's Team.

As his close friends, they knew this was one of the few emotional changes Kakashi had shown since the death of 'Konoha's White Fang'.

So, even someone with Obito's personality quieted down at this moment.

A Kill atmosphere hung in the high air of the training ground.

The sky seemed to sense this change and sent a gentle breeze down.

The breeze caused the leaves of the nearby trees to fall.

The moment that leaf fell from the air to the ground.

Both Uchiha Shin and Kakashi moved.

Boom boom boom!

The collision of Ninjutsu and Taijutsu.

The entanglement of Fire Release and Lightning Release, in a short period of time.

Dozens of collisions occurred.

Uchiha Shin, at this moment, also felt that his foundation had caught up.

Right now, he wasn't using the Ninjutsu and Taijutsu containing Flying Thunder God Technique.

Just relying on his previous techniques and tactics, he was evenly matched with Kakashi!

He was very satisfied!

However, while he was satisfied, Kakashi was not.

After dodging a Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique.

He said coldly to Shin:

"Shin, are you looking down on me? Use the Flying Thunder God Technique!"

Kakashi was very angry!

He felt that Shin was underestimating him!

He had seen the training scene just now.

Thinking of this, he began to form hand seals.

Ox - Rabbit - Monkey.

He raised his right hand, about to change his Chakra nature...

Suddenly, a sharp ninja sword was held across his neck.

"Kakashi... Stop the Ninjutsu in your hand."

"I'll take this victory for now!"

Kakashi's pupils constricted.

The chillingly sharp blade made him realize he had lost.

If it were truly an enemy, and they really slashed across his neck, then...

Thinking of this, he stopped the Ninjutsu in his hand.

Turning his head, he asked somewhat unwillingly:

"What's going on?"

"Look at your arm." Shin put away his ninja sword and pointed to Kakashi's right arm.

"This is?" Kakashi looked at his arm, seeing a Three-Tomoe Sharingan symbol.

It had appeared there at some point.

"That's the Flying Thunder God Technique seal, Kakashi." At this moment, Minato Namikaze walked forward with a smiling expression: "Once you're marked with this seal, you become a Flying Thunder God Technique coordinate."

He explained to Kakashi.

As for the outcome of this spar, when Kakashi boldly made physical contact with Shin.

He knew the outcome was decided!

After speaking, he saw a thoughtful expression appear on Kakashi's face and nodded in approval.

He knew that as a Genius, Kakashi would understand.

Then, he took out a scroll from his ninja tool pouch.

His expression turned serious as he faced Shin:

"We came to find you this time for a reason."

"I've accepted a mission for you... The place we are about to depart for is..."

"The Land of Wind!"
