Kakashi Hatake was clearly pleased.
But Orion raised a practical question:
"Sensei, do you really have time to teach me?"
"You're still Naruto and the others' instructor."
Kakashi waved it off casually.
"Don't worry. I'll manage my time."
Orion didn't press further.
"As long as it works."
Kakashi looked at him seriously.
"From tomorrow onward—"
"Come here every night."
"I'll be waiting."
"Unless something urgent happens… you don't skip."
"Can you guarantee that?"
Orion nodded.
"I have no problem with that."
He didn't.
He had no social life.
No distractions.
Training was the most meaningful thing he could do.
After chatting a bit more, they parted ways.
On the Way Home
Orion walked alone through the quiet streets.
Still processing everything.
Kakashi… teaching me personally?
It felt surreal.
Is this because of Dōichi-sensei?
He assumed so.
But—
He was wrong.
Kakashi wasn't teaching him because of connections.
He was teaching him because—
Orion's talent had shocked him.
Kakashi's Thoughts
Unlike Team 7—
Kakashi didn't choose them.
He was assigned.
Naruto Uzumaki
Sasuke Uchiha
Naruto:
Son of the Fourth HokageJinchūriki of the Nine-Tails
Sasuke:
Last UchihaPossessor of the Sharingan
Kakashi was chosen for them—
Because he could control them.
But Orion?
That was different.
Kakashi wanted to teach him.
Because—
Orion reminded him of himself.
No—
Even more terrifying.
Because Orion lacked one thing Kakashi once had:
Arrogance.
Back at Dōichi's Place
Kakashi appeared—again—on the balcony.
Kimoto Dōichi sighed.
"You really can't use the door?"
Kakashi ignored it.
"I've already made an agreement with him."
"And his talent… is even greater than we thought."
Dōichi wasn't surprised.
"That doesn't shock me."
Kakashi smiled slightly.
"You haven't heard the full story yet."
Dōichi narrowed his eyes.
"Oh?"
Kakashi spoke calmly:
"I tested his strength."
"He's already at chūnin level."
"And not just average."
"Strong chūnin."
Dōichi paused—
Then smiled.
"That kid…"
Kakashi continued:
"He just learned chakra control today."
"But when he fought me—"
"He was already using it flawlessly."
"All he lacks now…"
"Is offensive ninjutsu."
"Once he learns that—"
"He might surpass you soon."
Even Kakashi still found it unbelievable.
Dōichi, however—
Was proud.
Because in his heart—
Orion was already his true disciple.
Then Kakashi added:
"There's something else."
"You'll never guess."
Dōichi raised an eyebrow.
"He has all five chakra natures."
Silence.
"…What?"
Dōichi's expression froze.
"All five?!"
That was far more shocking than strength.
Because—
Full elemental affinity was rarer than most bloodline limits.
In Konoha—
Only:
KakashiThe Third Hokage
Hiruzen Sarutobi
And now—
Orion.
Dōichi's gaze turned sharp.
"You didn't tell anyone, right?"
Kakashi shook his head.
"I know how sensitive this is."
Both of them had been in ANBU.
They knew the truth:
Konoha wasn't just light.
There was darkness beneath the surface.
A civilian child—
With no clan protection—
And such talent?
That could easily lead to…
experimentation.
Dōichi exhaled slowly.
"Good."
Then added:
"When you teach him—"
"Make sure he only uses one or two elements publicly."
Kakashi nodded.
"I'll warn him."
They both agreed on one thing:
Until Orion is strong enough—
His full potential must remain hidden.
Orion's Night
Back home—
Orion lay on his bed.
He closed his eyes—
And entered his consciousness space.
The system's voice appeared:
"AFK for one day complete."
"Chakra doubled."
"Physical strength increased by 1%."
"Speed doubled."
Orion slowly opened his eyes.
His body felt—
Incredible.
Warm.
Light.
Overflowing with energy.
He smiled slightly.
"My chakra…"
"It's insane now."
"It's almost at Kakashi's level."
Then he thought deeper.
"Speed doubled…"
"Is that because I roughly learned the Body Flicker?"
Body Flicker Technique
A simple technique—
Yet extremely practical.
By channeling chakra into the legs—
It dramatically increases movement speed.
Low difficulty.
But—
High ceiling.
Orion closed his eyes again.
Feeling the chakra flowing through his body.
For the first time—
He truly realized:
He wasn't just getting stronger.
He was evolving—
At a terrifying pace.
