"Hmm, that reminds me but what about Kakashi? He has enough chakra to cross S rank thanks to the strain that eye pced on him and with all those stolen teiques of his he should t as S rank tht?" I asked curiously and she frowned.

  "The thing stopping him from reag S rank is that he's TOO spread out and while not weak at anything in particur he's also not outstanding at it either. His versatility pces him at the top of elite Jonin but also keeps him from going to the level as he's missing the sheer power needed for it. That Sharingan also heavily limits the amount of his chakra he use due to it passively sapping his chakra even when he has it sealed shut." she said seriously.

  "So what you mean to say is that he needs a ki the butt to reach that point?" I asked with a gleam in my eye as I had an idea.

  "So long as you don't cripple or kill him go nuts if you think you push him past that threshold." she said with a smirk.

  My pn was simple really, sage mode. I was going to basically force Kakashi into that state whether he wa or not. Holy speaking it was the fastest method I could think of to give the silver haired man the boost he o cross into S rank. The trick was that I had no iion of beile about it at all. I was more or less going to foratural energy into the mans body and force him to get it right or risk turning to stone. Naturally I had no iion of actually allowing him to petrify and was going to force out the excess natural energy in his body before that but that was not going to be a pleasant process for him at all.-

  Finding the man was easy as he was usually at either Ichiraku or cheg a publishers shop for the copy of Jiraiya's raunchy series. If he wasn't there then he was at the memorial stones sulking about those he's lost. The vilge was bustling today as vilgers walked about on their errands and you could see shinobi mixed in with the crowd harmoniously. One such shinobi was a certain silver haired man with half his face covered and his attention focused on a book no child should ever be given.-

  "Are you seriously reading smut in public?" I asked the man as I arrived o him.

  "It's art not smut, not that you'd uand." he said without looking up from the book.

  "Whatever you say. That's not why I am here though. How would you like to finally reach S rank in a short period of time?" I asked temptingly.

  He sighed and folded the er of the page he was on before putting the book away in his vest.

  "What's the catch?" he asked with a doubtful look.

  "It's going to be a bit .... unpleasant and it involves one of my secrets so under no circumstances are you to spread it. My sensei and a few others are also aware of it so o worry about if it was something forbidden." I said holy.

  "If it's not some forbidden teique how could you get me to S rank in a short period of time?" he asked now more fused than suspicious.

  "This isn't the best pce to talk about this, e with me to my house and I'll expin as much as you want." I said aook only a few moments to agree.

  "Lead the way." he said and I grinned before flickering to the top of the buildings.

  Not at my full speed obviously since he'd never be able to follow that without his Sharingan but still fast enough to show that I was much faster than he was. Not that he was all that surprised about this as my speed was a well known thing to anyone who knew me for any real length of time. We quickly crossed the vilge and reached the pounds that surrounded my home and besides the odd look he gave my neighbors when they waved as I passed didn't say anything.-

  "This pce is just as wild as the rumors say it seems." he noted out loud wheered my nd that was vibrantly alive with life.

  "I prefer the term "natural" but yes everything is for the most part untamed here. The reason for this will be made clear shortly." I said before leading him to my house at the far side of the property.

  "A rather simple pce isn't it?" he asked surprised.

  I chuckled "What did you expect, a mansion?" I asked sarcastically.

  "With your wealth yes." he said holy.

  "It's just me and Karin here so I have no need for something like that." I said with a shrug.

  "I suppose not." he said nodding in agreement.

  Sooered my house but I didn't stop there and directly lead him to the cave at the back of it.

  "Something about this pce feels strange, heavy almost." he said seriously.

  "You aren't the first person to say that, my sensei had simir thoughts when she came here." I said calmly.

  When we reached the crystal chamber Kakashi paused for a moment in wonder but I ighat and took a seat o in front of the crystal tree fag him.

  "This is my meditation chamber where I spend most of my time during the day. Take a seat and I'll expin why I brought you here." I said calmly.

  He did as I said and I fulfilled my side of things by expining that I was a natural sage and what that meant. I also expihat the heavy feeli ing here was the deural energy in the air that filled the pce thanks to myself and the tree behind me.-

  I also expihat thanks to my trol over natural energy I was able to ehat sages in training wouldn't perish due to being uo bahe intake and outtake of natural energy in their bodies. Finally I revealed that I po teach him sage mode to push him into S rank.

  "You think I learn sage mode?" he asked astonished.

  I chuckled "Anyone learn sage mode, the reason they don't is that without a talent towards trolling natural energy they get overwhelmed by the stuff and die. You won't have that problem since I would rip out any natural energy if it became too much for you to handle. In other words ag as aernal source of trol until you no longer ." I expined holy.
