Chapter 27: No More Killing: It's My Turn, Isn't It?

Uchiha Obito: "Pfft, ha ha ha ha ha! Kakashi, you idiot, you're hopeless!"

Jiraiya: "Hahahaha, I really didn't expect this answer!"

Shiranui Genma: "I can't hold back. A Jonin is ashamed by his students!"

Ebisu: "Kakashi, do you want to listen to my advice and go back to ninja school for a few more years?"

Might Guy: "Kakashi's expression, poof! No, I can't help it!"

Namikaze Minato: "Although this answer is a bit funny, Kakashi, your body is indeed a little weak."

Uzumaki Kushina: "Hahahaha, Kakashi you're finally deflated."

There is a cheerful air in the chat room.

Kakashi has black lines all over his forehead.

His teeth were grinding, and he wished he could travel to a parallel world and beat up Sasuke there.

This jerk!

How disrespectful to his guidance as Jonin!

On the screen, a gold frame appears.

[Kakashi was stunned for a long time.]

[As if he finally understood what his student had said, Kakashi gritted his teeth and replied:]

["What nonsense are you talking about!"]

["I've given you two choices, A and B, and you choose C!"]

["I think Mr. Kakashi, you are in poor health and need to recuperate. Also, as for the guidance you can provide us, I think it may be quite limited," Sasuke said tactfully.]

[Kakashi feels almost ready to black out.]

Limited guidance space?

Does it mean that he is too good and doesn't need guidance?

He's been known as a genius since childhood; when has he ever heard such an assessment?

This infuriating brat!

["Ahem, just kidding," Sasuke said after noticing Mr. Kakashi's murderous gaze and quickly stated earnestly:]

["You're asking me to choose whether to withdraw or not. Isn't the real test in the choice itself?"]

["If I make a choice, it implies that I may abandon my teammates. Choosing so would disqualify me, right, Mr. Kakashi?"]

Namikaze Minato: "Smart! Kakashi, your test has been seen through!"

Orochimaru: "Hehe, Sasuke could figure out the existence of Mr. Sarutobi, the mastermind, by reading alone. How could such a simple test stump him?"

Jiraiya: "But it seems that we can't truly assess Sasuke's attitude towards his teammates."

[Kakashi's face softened a little as he said:]

["It seems that you understand the purpose of my assessment."]

["Sasuke, I hope you realize that no matter how strong a person is, they have limits. Cooperation with teammates is necessary."]

[Sasuke nodded and replied:]

["I considered my teammates' situation and came up with the correct tactics."]

["After assessing the strength of the three of us, I think the best tactic would be for Sakura and Naruto to hide far away, and then I would fight with you. But Naruto doesn't accept it."]

[Kakashi: "..."]

It seems...it seems logical...

But why does it feel a bit wrong?

Didn't he talk about teamwork? Why did Sasuke choose to fight alone?

Senju Tobirama: "Actually, Uchiha Sasuke's words make sense. My elder brother, for instance, is fighting Uchiha Madara. They can't afford to work as a team. Others need to be cautious not to get caught in their battle."

Orochimaru: "When the difference in strength is too large, teamwork loses its meaning."

Namikaze Minato: "I hope that the Sasuke of that world values his comrades, unlike how Kakashi used to."

Hatake Kakashi: "..."

The gold-framed screen continues to play.

Kakashi, left speechless, could only declare that all three members of the seventh class had passed the test.

In the parallel world, the seventh class was formed as well.

Afterward,

Sasuke reviewed his battle experience.

Following the battle with Kakashi, he better understood his own strength.

In chakra volume, chakra control, and nature transformation, he had made significant progress over the years.

Yet, in physical skills, limited by age and body, his speed and strength were lacking.

Moreover, his hand-to-hand combat experience was insufficient.

During his taijutsu fight with Teacher Kakashi, he realized he could improve in many areas.

Due to a lack of experience, he was somewhat awkward.

In the future, he planned to have more sparring sessions with Mr. Kakashi to enhance his skills in this domain.

Onoki: "He's already quite powerful, yet he still thinks about it so earnestly!"

Fourth Raikage: "Being able to fight on equal terms with the copy ninja Hatake Kakashi, one of the finest ninjas in the world, is remarkable."

Orochimaru: "It's precisely this kind of reflection that allows the strength of that world's Sasuke to grow so rapidly!"

Shiranui Genma: "It's maddening to see someone else excel. If I had that much power at age 12, I'd die laughing."

Ebisu: "It's not about being 12; we don't even have that strength now."

Morino Ibiki: "..."

Aoba Yamashiro: "No need to remind us..."

The Konoha Jōnin could only sigh.

Their opponent was younger than them but possessed strength beyond the average Jōnin.

The playback on the gold-framed screen ended.

The silver-framed screen began playing Sasuke's story from this world.

After the seventh squad was formed, Sasuke and his team performed D-level missions for a month.

They pulled weeds, cleaned up trash in the river, and found lost pets.

Kakashi led them through these simple tasks with ease.

Then, spurred by Naruto, the seventh squad undertook a C-level mission and departed for the Land of Waves.

After a challenging fight with Zabuza, Kakashi allowed the three to start practicing chakra control.

In the second battle with Zabuza, Sasuke activated his Sharingan, and Naruto unleashed the Nine-Tails Chakra.

Ultimately, Haku died by Kakashi's Raikiri.

In his grief, Zabuza killed Gato, bringing an end to the mercenary.
