Chapter 3: Do You Know the Will of Fire?

  "Three Basic Teique are the most basid least chakra-intensive ninjutsu. Oraining ground, we use high-powered jutsu without w about chakra ption, but otlefield, it’s a pletely different story."

  "Saving a bit of chakra might just save your life."

  Kyoichi began expining his own uanding and teiques.

  Some of it came from his predecessor, but most of it was knowledge provided by the system oransformation Jutsu."

  Everyone listetentively.

  Times were different now.

  With the ongoing wars, Konoha was in a precarious position, and more and more children were graduating early to participate in the flicts—Kakashi and Guy among them.

  In this mixed training css, many of the students might have to joitlefield as early as this year.

  Guidance from an experienced veteran was incredibly valuable to them.

  Even the usually mischievous Obito didn’t dare whisper during the lesson.

  "Sensei, how we use less chakra?"

  "Sensei..."

  When it came time for questions, the students eagerly raised their hands, cm to ask their queries.

  Kyoichi patiently answered eae.

  The bell rang.

  Css was over!

  "Alright, everyone, practi your own after css. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me after css or during the lesson. Otherwise, you’re dismissed."

  Kyoichi felt a wave of relief.

  His first css in the ninja world had goively well.

  He’d established his authority early, so the subsequent lessons shouldn’t be too difficult.

  However...

  It seemed the lesson pn he’d prepared earlier had been unnecessary.

  In a real css, there was no way to simply follow a script.

  These students weren’t just ordinary kids—many of them were geniuses and future legends. Each had their own way of thinking, and without real substance, he wouldn’t be able to hold their attention.

  "Oh, and Obito, tomorrow m is my css again. If you’re te, you’ll have to run 200 ps around the training field."

  "Ah?"

  Obito froze in pce.

  Why this st-minute warning? What if he really was te tomorrow?

  "Alright, everyone, see you tomorrow."

  After speaking, Kyoichi disappeared with the Body Flicker Jutsu.

  Ba his office, the first thing he did was check the system.

  He’d heard a notification at the end of css but hadn’t caught it clearly.

  [First-Css pleted]

  [Evaluation: Excellent]

  [Reward: Water Dragon Jutsu]

  Water Dragon Jutsu?

  The oh 44 hand seals?

  Kyoichi was stunned for a moment.

  But...

  After g and examining the reward, he realized he had uimated the system.

  This was the simplified versioed by the Sed Hokage, requiring only four hand seals. bined with the bonus from his retly awakened Senju bloodlihis ninjutsu was an excellent reward.

  "I’ll try it out ter," Kyoichi thought to himself.

  Siivating the system and awakening his bloodline, he hadn’t tested the power of Water Release teiques or fully assessed his current strength.

  That wouldn’t do.

  ---

  Konoha Outskirts

  After css, Kyoichi arrived at a riverbank area.

  First...

  Shadow e Jutsu!

  Aical e appeared beside him.

  "Time is precious. You train in taijutsu teiques while I test out the power of ninjutsu."

  "...Seriously?"

  The e wao pin, looking utterly speechless.

  But...

  As a shadow e, it had no choice.

  Resigned, it went off to a nearby forest to practice taijutsu. If it could master teiques like Leaf Hurrie or Shadow of the Dang Leaf, that would be a win.

  Meanwhile, the inal Kyoichi checked his chakra reserves.

  Still plenty left.

  "With this amount of chakra, I hahree es w simultaneously. It’s not on Naruto’s level, but it’s far more than an average adult Kakashi."

  Kyoichi felt satisfied.

  Naruto’s insane chakra reserves weren’t just due to his bloodlihey also came from the ails’ chakra and Asura’s lineage—basically, cheats no one else could pete with.

  Looking around, he found an open area and quickly formed hand seals.

  Water Dragon Jutsu!

  In an instant, torrents of water verged to form a massive dragon, r as it asded before crashing down with tremendous force. The ground where it struck was left with a massive crater.

  Powerful!

  Even though the jutsu’s strength weakened slightly when used away from a water source, the difference wasn’t signifit—only a bit more chakra was ed.

  "Now I have both offensive and defeions," Kyoichi thought.

  With teiques like Water Wall, Water Dragon Jutsu, and Water Colliding Wave, his current capabilities had no majaps.

  Of course...

  This was only true at the level of in ur jonin.

  pared to elite jonin and above, his skillset was still too limited.

  But...

  There was time to grow. With the system, the future held endless possibilities.

  He prepared to head back food meal.

  As for the shadow e?

  It could keep training.

  Just as he took a step, Kyoichi suddenly sensed a presenearby. He turo face the dire it came from.

  "Who’s there?"

  "Sensei, it’s me."

  From behind a tree, a figure slowly emerged.

  Kyoichi didn’t o see his face—he reized the voice immediately.

  Uchiha Shisui.

  "Shisui, is there something you need?"

  "Yes, I have some doubts and was hoping you could help me."

  Shisui bowed respectfully.

  Seeing Kyoichi’s kind and patient demeanor, Shisui stepped forward, though he still seemed a bit hesitant.

  "Go ahead," Kyoichi enced.

  "Sensei, I inally po graduate early this year, but after sparring with you, I’m worried... Would graduating early burden my teammates otlefield?"

  Shisui expressed his s.

  Kyoichi paused for a moment before chug softly.

  It seemed he’d uionally disced the young prodigy.

  After thinking for a moment, Kyoichi replied, "With your abilities, you’re certainly not weak. You wouldn’t be a liability otlefield. However, uhe situation is absolutely dire, I wouldn’t reend graduating so early."

  "Please guide me!"

  Shisui bowed deeply.

  "Sit dow’s talk as friends."

  Kyoichi sat on the grass aured for Shisui to do the same.

  Shisui plied.

  "Do you know why the First and Sed Hokage established the ninja academy?"

  Shisui shook his head.

  "Do you know about the Will of Fire?"

  "Where the leaves dahe fire burns. The fire’s light will illumihe vilge and help rees grow."

  Shisui his time. It was something the Third Hokage had taught them—a core lesson in their ideology csses.

  "One of its meanings is that children are Konoha’s future. The First and Sed Hokage fouhe academy to keep children off the battlefield for as long as possible."

  Kyoichi expined.

  Shisui seemed deep in thought.

  "Battlefields force people to grow up quickly, but you’re only five years old. If you study for another year or two, your skills and mi will mature, making you more prepared when you do step onto the battlefield."

  Kyoichi added.

  The battlefield didn’t ck genin. What it cked were strong in and jonin.

  The Third Hokage’s decision to send children into war was essentially a gamble, hoping they would develop rapidly under immense pressure.

  "But..."

  Shisui hesitated.

  He thought of examples like Kakashi, who had graduated at five and was already a celebrated in with outstanding achievements otlefield.

  "War accelerate growth, but it also takes away a lot. Starting early doesn’t necessarily mean being exceptional."

  Kyoichi couldn’t help but recall his previous enters with Kakashi.

  The boy had a talent for rubbing people the wrong way, and at this stage, he wasly likable.

  "I uand. Thank you, Sensei."

  Shisui bowed again, his gratitude genuine.
