------------------------------------------------
Knowing the purpose of Kakashi's visit, Akira thought for a moment.
His complete immunity stemmed from his Spirit attribute, which couldn't be transferred.
"However, I can extract my understanding and formulate it into a technique to give him."
Akira's high Spirit attribute allowed him to defeat the Yamanaka Clan's technique just by relying on his superficial understanding of the mind.
It was like a mountain: one only needed to drop a small stone to kill the people at the foot of the mountain, because the mountain was too high.
Thinking of this, Akira gestured.
Under the jujube tree.
The two sat opposite each other.
Akira cleared his throat and started teaching.
"My secret technique is called the 'Self-Hypnosis Technique'."
"As the name suggests, it involves planting a piece of false information in your mind and allowing it to sleep.
"Once someone uses a Spirit Mystery Technique to investigate, this piece of information will be triggered, causing their technique to be blinded."
After speaking, Akira watched Kakashi, who was lost in thought.
"False information? Self-Hypnosis?"
Muttering to himself, Kakashi frowned.
Literally, the method wasn't difficult to understand. But how should he practice it?
"Well, can you be more specific?" Kakashi was a little embarrassed.
After all, he was a genius ninja, but he didn't know how to practice this. This left him with a deep sense of frustration.
"Hmm... Let me tell you a story." After thinking about it, Akira had an idea.
Kakashi quickly straightened his posture, as if he were seriously listening to a lecture at the Ninja Academy.
[It is said that there is a rogue named Kakashi. His daily work is robbery.]
[Although he relies on robbery, he lives comfortably. But his dream is not to be a rogue.]
[His dream is to become a hero!]
[Every morning, he would say to himself: "Kakashi, you are a hero!"]
[Every time he finishes this sentence, he will be full of energy.]
[Until one day, he saw other rogues beating some civilians. So, he rushed up and lost.]
[The word hero exploded in his mind, making him extremely valiant.]
[In the end, he repelled the rogues and became a true hero!]
The story was over.
Kakashi didn't care about the name of the story's protagonist.
He knew Akira wanted to make him feel more involved and easier to understand.
"The hero is the false information implanted in the mind."
"This also seems to be an ideal, a belief?"
"Does he cling to that belief every day?"
Kakashi was talking to himself.
Akira nodded and reminded him again.
"Kakashi, don't you have a belief, or a goal?"
"Me?"
Kakashi froze for a moment, and his own goal surfaced in his mind.
"I've caught up with you!" He blurted out this sentence instinctively.
Akira: "What did you say?"
"I said, I've caught up with you! Akira," Kakashi said firmly.
Hearing this sentence, Akira's head was full of black lines.
Catch up with me?
I circled the Ninja World and ran right back to your side, so yes, you did catch up to me.
Clearly, Kakashi had missed the point.
"If you want to resist the spiritual probing of the Yamanaka Clan, you need to implant a righteous and glorious word. Can you understand this?"
"I understand!" Kakashi nodded.
"Very well, what word do you want to implant now?" Akira asked.
"Secret!" Kakashi shook his head, refusing to reveal it.
Akira looked surprised.
You've already gotten what you came for, you've learned my secret technique, but you're still guarding against me?
Kakashi left.
Before leaving, Akira tossed the scroll back to him.
The night passed quietly.
Early the next morning.
After getting up, Akira first watered the jujube trees and saplings, and received a pleasant response.
Rustle...
"What did you say? The jujube tree is bullying you?"
Akira looked up in surprise.
He saw that the leaves of the jujube tree had extended over the young sapling.
"You're going too far."
Akira criticized the jujube tree and bent the branch to one side.
After mediating the dispute, he glanced at the attribute panel.
Ability: Intermediate Perception (100 meters)
"Huh? Perception doubled?"
Akira was greatly surprised.
He remembered that the range of Perception was only 10 meters yesterday, so it doubled to 100 meters?
"Good!"
He turned on the Perception test, and within a radius of 100 meters, nothing was hidden from him.
The world was slightly muted, in black and white.
Just as he was about to turn off his Perception, a figure appeared within the range.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A moment later, footsteps sounded, and Anko ran into the yard.
"Something went wrong!" Anko's voice was loud.
"Huh? Something happened again?"
Akira was a little confused.
Why do things happen every single day in this village?
"What's up?"
"I heard a lot of ninjas discussing this morning that a team on the front line has defected and switched to Sand Shinobi!" Anko spoke very fast.
"Rebellion? Does this have anything to do with us?" Akira was suspicious.
Shouldn't the Third Hokage be anxious about this?
"Do you know what team that is?" Anko continued talking, hands on her hips.
"What team? It doesn't matter to me," Akira looked calm.
"That's the Intelligence Team!"
"It's just an Intelligence Team, and it has nothing to do with me."
Akira didn't understand why Anko was so anxious.
"You! Don't be so dismissive! If that team reveals the front line's defense layout to Sand Shinobi, the front line will definitely be broken again," Anko scoffed.
"If it breaks, it breaks. Does this have anything to do with me?" Akira glanced at the other party and repeated the same sentence.
Anko's face swelled with anger.
She found that Akira was just repeating that sentence over and over.
"Is there anything else? Come and have dinner with me," Akira greeted her.
"What? Where are we eating?" Anko's anger vanished immediately.
"Happy Hot Springs."
"Yeah."
On the street.
Akira really did find that many people were talking about the mutiny of the frontline team.
It made him feel a little strange.
Shouldn't the village keep this kind of thing a secret?
Why does it seem like all the ninjas in the village know about it?
How did the Third Hokage become the Hokage?
How could such a morale-damaging scandal not be covered up?
Akira didn't know that Hiruzen Sarutobi did want to cover up the matter, but in the end, it was spread by someone, and the news reached the entire village.
