"Secret Technique, is that Chakra attribute that fills the body with a Yin Release nature transformation?
To develop a special nature transformation, it's truly remarkable.
That nature transformation technique can make a part of the body, or the entire body,
instantly exhibit special effects.
Arms can enhance strength and attack speed.
The last one is full-body enhancement; it seems like his entire body is different from a normal person's.
It seems to have undergone a special transformation!"
Kakashi opened his Sharingan, observing the situation during their fight.
The basic ability of the Sharingan is to see through a Ninja's Chakra, combined with super dynamic vision, which is why he earned the title of Copy Ninja, Konoha's Technician.
So he knew that Satoru wouldn't invite them to spar without a reason.
At the beginning of the battle, he activated his Sharingan and observed every change.
Satoru's abilities left him in awe.
He considered his talent to be quite good in Konoha, yet after so many years, he had only developed one Lightning Release technique, Chidori, and even that required the Sharingan to maximise its power.
But what about Satoru?
How many Ninjutsu had he invented already?
And they were all extremely practical Ninjutsu.
Although in his opinion, for Satoru, there was no need to develop such attack-enhancing Ninjutsu for Taijutsu.
He could defeat most Jonin just by relying on Instantaneous Body Technique, Kunai, and Shuriken.
What's more, he was also a Genjutsu Ninja.
As for Genjutsu abilities, Kakashi praised him the most; even his Sharingan Genjutsu had no effect, and was even reflected.
He was truly Konoha's undisputed Genjutsu Master.
"However, Satoru is very smart to develop this kind of Ninjutsu.
It should be specifically aimed at certain Ninjutsu, although I don't understand why he needed to develop it to this extent."
Kakashi didn't completely deny Satoru's approach.
He also considered the possibility of his developing this technique.
The most likely reason was that Satoru felt that one day his Genjutsu and Ninjutsu would be ineffective, and he would need Taijutsu to compensate.
He felt ashamed of himself in this regard.
Since copying thousands of Ninjutsu, he hadn't developed his own Ninjutsu for a long time.
He focused more on integrating the Ninjutsu he had already learned,
and conducting further horizontal development.
After Satoru finished with Might Guy, Kakashi approached.
"Might Guy, you lost again."
Might Guy stood up and gave Satoru a thumbs up: "He's too amazing, truly worthy of being the man who can be a squad leader."
"Now it's my turn to fight you, do you want to rest for a bit?" Kakashi looked at Satoru.
"No need, I have more Chakra than you, so this is fairer."
Satoru said with a smile.
"..." Kakashi gave him a deadpan look, speechless.
"Haha, go Kakashi, defeat him! You are my lifelong rival!
Don't lose to him." Might Guy walked away with a laugh.
Leaving the two with eager expressions.
They moved a short distance apart, formed the Confrontation Seal, signalling the start of their spar.
Satoru: "Konoha's Technician Kakashi, Copy Ninja Kakashi... So many titles, I don't have a single one yet.
Let me see if you've made any progress in the past two years, old classmate."
Their last spar was two years ago.
They sparred occasionally.
Most of the time, Kakashi worked with Anbu, so he didn't have much time to spar.
He was much busier than him, the leader of the Analysis Team.
"I didn't want to come, but I also wanted to see your progress."
Kakashi began to form hand seals.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique."
A huge fireball erupted from his mouth.
Satoru was not to be outdone, blocking the attack with a Water Release: Water Formation Wall.
After the steam cleared, a massive Fuma Shuriken sliced through the air.
Whoosh!
He also threw a Fuma Shuriken with one hand seal, which split into countless clones in the air.
Swish swish swish!
Not only did it block Kakashi's attack, but it also counterattacked.
This was the advantage of a sensory Ninja, always seizing the initiative.
However, Kakashi was not weak; the Sharingan's dynamics allowed him to do what Satoru did.
A Substitution Technique nullified his Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique.
This time, Satoru didn't plan to use Genjutsu.
Because the progress in Genjutsu over the past two years was mainly reflected in the Genjutsu of Phantoms; other Genjutsu had not made significant breakthroughs.
The only significant breakthrough was another Yin Release nature transformation that he had just completed half a year ago.
But the development of that technique was not yet complete.
It still needed some time to complete the first Genjutsu technique, Deceiving the Heavens and Earth's Weather.
It couldn't be entirely called Genjutsu anymore; it was a special nature transformation, a unique secret technique combined with Genjutsu.
Bang bang!
The two were incredibly skilled in Ninjutsu offence, Taijutsu, Shuriken traps, and stealth techniques, among other Ninja methods.
Compared to the warrior-like battle with Might Guy,
The fight with Kakashi was more akin to traditional Ninja combat.
Stealth, ambush, traps, counter-techniques...
It was more comprehensive.
One was Copy Ninja Kakashi, proficient in thousands of Ninjutsu.
The other was Mind-Reading Ninja Satoru, not proficient in thousands of Ninjutsu, but certainly hundreds.
Both were Ninjas who had developed more than five nature transformations, making their use of counter-techniques and being countered even more dazzling.
Rumble!
When they fought without restraint, sometimes the entire back mountain would explode.
At other times, it was extremely quiet, as if one were in an ambush from all sides, with someone ready to stab you in the back at any moment.
"Truly worthy of being my lifelong rival, it's magnificent!" Might Guy watched, his blood boiling.
Today's passion, burning and burning, made him feel exhilarated.
He still wanted to fight another round.
...
Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled as he watched the battle between the three in the crystal ball.
His former juniors had all grown up now.
Whether it was Might Guy, Satoru, or Kakashi, he had watched them grow up, and they were juniors who had made outstanding contributions to Konoha.
It also symbolised that his Will of Fire had been passed down.
And these juniors would continue to pass it down.
"Satoru and Kakashi are fine, but Might Guy is a headache. Is it enough to just be a Jonin? He always comes asking for Anbu positions, is that something you can do?"
Seeing Might Guy gave him a headache.
In recent years, Might Guy had never given up his original intention; almost every ten days to half a month, he would come to ask him for an Anbu position.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Might Guy, but Might Guy's personality was too distinct and simply not suitable.
Fortunately, the frequency had decreased in the past two years, giving him rare time to spend with his grandson.
Thinking of his grandson, he redirected the positioning of his Telescope Technique to the Ninja School.
Today was the start of the school year, a time when the Will of Fire was passed down. Before school ended in the afternoon, he, as the principal, had to personally explain what the Will of Fire was to these future members of Konoha.
Looking at Iruka teaching in the crystal ball, and the diligent children.
He felt very comforted.
Such vibrant little ones, which is why he had to try his best to avoid the arrival of war!
