My sensei wasted no time at all announg Kakashi's elevation to S rank to the vilge which created a wave of celebrations. Ead every S rank ninja a vilge had meant that the vilge was even strohan before. This was cause for celebration for that vilge aion for the others as it meant that vilge was now even tougher to defeat. My sensei didn't say exactly how Kakashi became S rank but nobody doubted her as the man was already well known for being right at the precipice of the rank and so it wasn't odd that he finally crossed it.-

  I took no praise for raising him up to there by teag him sage mode but that was the deal between me and my sensei. I wanted my free time to remain as it was so I helped make the vilge more stable by teag Kakashi and she left me alone about training new graduates. Admittedly it was also quite amusing to watch the silver hair shinobi awkwardly deal with the eager vilgers who were in a small bit of frenzy over his atus.-

  Those who were aware that Kakashi had been going to my house a lot before this annou had figured out that I was involved with his "sudden" elevation and had tried sug up to me to get simir help but I ighem. Kakashi was being held back by his sharingan that left him with way less chakra to use thaually had but for the rest they had no such handicap stopping them from reag S rank. My training of Kakashi was mostly able to push him over the limit of S rank simply because it increased how much he could do without spending more chakra.-

  If he could have used his full chakra pool he wouldn't have even needed my help as he would have already been sidered S rank. Still I couldn't say that I didn't uand why these people were hoping to get my help to reach S rank. That position was a thing of great porestige so naturally everyone wa but how many ever truly achieved it? Six? Seve in two geions? The number was DRASTICALLY lower than the hat reached the rank below that Elite Jonin. There could be a dozee Jonin in a geion but only one makes it to S rank.-

  Talent was a factor sure but the biggest hurdle utting the work in to be sidered truly exceptional. Reag Elite Jonin took hard work but S rank took near supernatural work ethic to achieve for most. The only real exceptions to this that I knew of was my sensei, me and the Jinchuriki. In our cases we were just different than everyone else in how hard we had to work to reach that height. For my se was because of her bloodlio a massive degree as she had both Senju and Uzumaki blood and that meant her body without training was insane pared to literally anyone who didn't have a bloodline or were me.-

  Add a det work ethid teacher to that and a passion for medical jutsu and you get my sensei. For the Jinchuriki they simply had to learn how to tap into the tailed beasts withio reach S rank which had various degrees of difficulty based on how well the beast and perso along. Add on that they all had stupidly high amounts of chakra and trained as well and that expins that.-

  As for me well that should be obvious at this point as thanks to being in sage mode since birth my talent was literally unmatched, the pinnacle possible. Add oraining I did and Orochimaru's interferend that was enough said. What all of these people wanted was some sort of shortcut they could take to avoid the work o reach S rank and after seeing Kakashi achieve it in such a short time of iing with me near daily they thought I had this shortcut.-

  They were bht and wrong as sage mode was certainly a great boost to orength but the trick was that they had to have the strength to boost to begin with. While I had no doubt that I could raise pretty muyoo S rank if I personally oversaw their training for a time I saw no reason why I should waste my time on such people. By far the worst of these people had to be the Hyuga s elder that had the audacity to try and bckmail me with the fact I was hiding my strength from the vilge.-

  They would o be blind to miss it with their byakugans and for some reason thought I was avoiding revealing my strength to the vilge. I couldn't help but wonder if they were senile and couldn't uand that I wasn't hiding anything, I just didn't have a reason to use it. I pared myself to the likes of the first Hokage and Madara Uchiha and while I fell short in terms of sheer skill I was fairly certain that I could match them in power, especially if I used saint mode. My sensei erhaps the only person in the vilge who khis and food reason.-

  My mere existence would be more than enough for all the other vilges to put aside their strife and uo kill me. No one wao see another Madara or Hashirama show up and all but forcibly suppress the other vilges. Anyways I ft out told the old bastard where he could shove his bckmail before telling my sensei so she could decide what to do with them. It was almost funny how the old coot tried to spread the news of my strength. But rather tha me questioned by the vilge my sensei exposed that she was already aware and that the old coot was trying to stir up trouble and then sat back to watch the vilge tear the reputation of the bastard apart.-

  The best part was that it effected the entire Hyuga as well and the main branch of the was forced to issue a formal statement ning the elders as and making it clear it wasn't the stance of the rest of the . The old bastard ended up "passing in his sleep" a week ter which was suspicious as hell but got the heat off the at the very least.
