Chapter 26: Why Don't You Go Back to Ninja School, Kakashi

Terumi Mei said, "Hatake Kakashi is a well-known Elite Jōnin in the ninja world. How could there be no chakra here?"

Darui remarked, "Kakashi, the copy ninja of Konoha, is it so unimaginable?"

Huang Tu added, "The most important thing is that I don't think he has used a lot of ninjutsu!"

Hatake Kakashi remained silent, thinking to himself in frustration, "Don't you all lack chakra? It's impossible for me to be the only one lacking chakra in the whole ninja world!"

Orochimaru commented, "Sure enough, without the Uchiha blood, the Sharingan would have severely depleted chakra."

Uchiha Fugaku explained, "Even if foreigners have the Sharingan, they can't close it, and they have to bear huge chakra consumption all the time."

Namikaze Minato observed, "But Kakashi's situation is a bit... well, it's hard to say. It feels like Kakashi's 26-year-old chakra volume may not even compare to that of a 12-year-old."

He considered the situation. Kakashi used the Body Flicker Technique once, Earth Style twice, Water Style once, Raikiri twice, and had Lightning Style stimulation. Although these do consume chakra, it's quite puzzling that Kakashi, a well-known Elite Jōnin in the ninja world, has no chakra left. That's quite miserable.

Uzumaki Naruto exclaimed, "Mr. Kakashi is so weak! Back then, the first time after a fight, he fainted outright! Later, Sasuke and I had to take turns carrying him."

Uchiha Sasuke agreed, "Indeed."

Uzumaki Kushina noted, "I have seen too much intimacy in heaven, and my body is weak."

Hatake Kakashi remained silent as Jiraiya joined the conversation, "But Sasuke in that world also sees the heaven of making out."

Kakashi panted heavily, looking at Sasuke opposite and feeling tired for a while. He thought to himself, "Could it be that I can't even handle a Genin? It's too embarrassing to admit! If others find out, I won't be able to show my face in Konoha anymore!"

But looking at Sasuke on the opposite side, Kakashi didn't see any sign of him lacking chakra at all. "Do you have enough chakra now?" Kakashi asked Sasuke.

Sasuke, not knowing why, replied, "It's okay to continue fighting." He couldn't figure out why Kakashi was panting so hard.

"Could it be that the ninjutsu that increased the speed had side effects?" Sasuke wondered. But no matter what he thought, he couldn't imagine that Kakashi had completely run out of chakra.

For Sasuke, since the age of seven, aside from daily physical exercise, he has been refining chakra. All other training is completely handled by his Shadow Clone. So Sasuke's current chakra is still very full, and he's ready to continue fighting with Kakashi.

"Well, yes, not bad," Kakashi nodded, the Sharingan of his left eye rotating slightly.

"Illusion? It's useless to me," Sasuke realized that he was under an illusion as he noticed a slight change in the scene before him. His Three Tomoe Sharingan turned, and he easily broke free.

Seeing this, Kakashi sighed inwardly, thinking it was indeed pointless. If the fight continued, he might have to open the Eight Inner Gates.

"The test is over; you have passed the assessment," Kakashi announced feebly.

Uchiha Obito was surprised, "??? This is the end? Kakashi, keep fighting. Don't be cowardly!"

Might Guy said, "Kakashi, how can you give up halfway through the battle? It's not decided yet!"

Shiranui Genma scoffed, "I thought I would see that guy Kakashi continue to suffer. This is boring."

Hatake Kakashi remained silent.

If he continued to fight, he would be asking for trouble.

Rock Lee asked, "Will Mr. Kakashi also be using the Eight Inner Gates?"

Might Guy replied, "Well, Kakashi can also open the first gate. If it is opened, he will have more chakra."

Orochimaru lamented, "Being forced to open the Eight Inner Gates is so miserable."

Jiraiya wondered, "During the bell stealing assessment, a Genin, who had just graduated, was able to fight evenly with a Jōnin guide. Has anyone in the entire history of Konoha done that before?"

Namikaze Minato replied, "Kakashi did well at that time and almost grabbed the bell. But he was still not as skilled as Double Sasuke."

Jiraiya said, "No way, Kakashi is already very good. But Sasuke from another world is even more talented."

Kakashi called Sakura and Naruto over and announced the end of the assessment.

Sasuke confirmed that he passed the assessment.

"But there are still only two bells. Now, as the only one who passed the assessment, you can choose who will be your teammate," Kakashi instructed.

"In other words, you need to decide which one to exclude and send back to the ninja school," he continued.

"Well, let's choose," Kakashi said with a smile.

The expressions of Sakura and Naruto changed instantly.

"You are so lucky to be in the same class as Sasuke-kun, but now you might be kicked out? No!" Sakura thought.

"Damn! Sasuke passed the exam, but I might have to go back to the ninja school? I am so unwilling!" Naruto was distraught.

The two were deeply preoccupied.

Sasuke held the two bells in his hand and looked at the three people.

Jiraiya remarked, "Good idea. This will test Sasuke's attitude towards his companions."

Namikaze Minato agreed, "It's really good."

Senju Hashirama added, "The juniors in the village will learn to value their companions. Which is great!"

Orochimaru sneered, "Ah! To Double Sasuke, teammates are nothing more than a burdensome drag!"

Jiraiya snapped, "Orochimaru, you bastard!"

Orochimaru questioned, "Am I wrong? The Sasuke of that world devised a tactic to keep Naruto and Haruno Sakura away from him so they wouldn't be caught and used to intimidate him."

Jiraiya was at a loss for words.

Hatake Kakashi said, "I'm curious to see how this other Sasuke will choose."

I hope the Sasuke from the other world will also be someone who cherishes his companions.

Sasuke looked at Kakashi, slightly narrowing his eyes.

After observing closely for a while, he realized that Kakashi seemed to be without chakra.

What the hell is going on? Sasuke thought.

This Jōnin guide is too weak!

"How, have you made a decision?" Kakashi asked with a smile.

"I've decided," Sasuke glanced at Sakura and Naruto, and then said to Kakashi, "Why don't you go back to the ninja school and practice for a few more years, Mr. Kakashi?"

"It won't be too late to become a Jōnin guide when your body is healthy."

Kakashi was dumbfounded and froze.
