Sasuke's expression turned cold upon hearing those words. That's right, overuse of the Mangekyo Sharingan would cause side effects, every time you used your eyes, they would bleed, and long-term use would lead to blindness. To save your eyes, you needed the Mangekyo Sharingan of a close relative. This was why the Uchiha clan was called the cursed clan.
Sasuke wanted to be strong, but he didn't want to see his beloved brother get hurt, so he was feeling down.
Was there really no perfect solution?
"While ordinary ninjas can't spontaneously fuse Kekkei Genkai, they can use specific jutsu to launch combination jutsu. For example, Wind Release and Fire Release can be combined into a stronger Fire Release, Water Release and Lightning Release can have stronger control, and Earth Release and Wind Release can create high-speed damage."
…
In this kind of explanation and demonstration, a year passed just like that. The students all mastered the characteristics and responses of chakra, and under Kakashi's guidance, they first came up with plans or hypothetical scenarios for using their own jutsu to counter various jutsu. Their individual training also improved everyone's strength.
Now, it was time for practice.
"Sasuke, team up with Naruto and Haruno Sakura, and fight against Neji, Lee, and Tenten. Ino-Shika-Cho fight against Shino, Hinata, Inuzuka Kiba, and Haryu. Spread out, try to use the appropriate jutsu and tactics. The team that captures the other team first wins. After one round, we'll rotate, and Haryu will be re-grouped. Begin!" A year of teaching had made Neji think a little differently about Kakashi. Although he hated Kakashi's lack of punctuality, he did admire Kakashi's effort, of course, this was all based on his recognition of Kakashi's strength.
…
"Kakashi, does effort really work?" This was the first time Neji's heart had wavered after learning theory for half a year under Kakashi.
"Oh, why are you suddenly asking this? Isn't fate irreversible?" Kakashi was surprised, but he also wanted to save face for his previous loss, so he teased him a little.
"Sorry. I was born into the Hyuga branch family, I'm disgusted and resistant to having my eyes restricted and my life controlled, but there's nothing I can do, so I have this idea of irreversible fate."
"Then I'll tell you, the cage bird on your forehead, you are the cage."
"What do you mean? Isn't the branch family a caged bird for life?" This was the first time Neji had heard Kakashi say this. From ancient times, the Hyuga branch family had always believed that they were controlled by the main family. Not only were their Byakugan abilities restricted, but the cage bird seal could also be destroyed by the main family in an instant, and this had always been a deterrent, ensuring the safety of the Hyuga main family. Neji had witnessed his father die for the main family, to prevent the Byakugan from being passed on, and he had resented the seal, this fate.
"That's right. But what if you are the cage? All the branch families, in their original concept, were born to protect their main family. But there will always be people who disagree, they incite the branch family, and what has been passed down is the idea of the branch family being a bird. Imagine yourself as the cage, take protecting Hinata, protecting the main family, as your fate, and work hard for it, wouldn't that feel better? Also, effort definitely works. If you don't believe me, you can spar with Rock Lee. He was always suppressed by you before, but that was because the Gentle Fist counters the Hard Fist. What if, through effort, he breaks through the limitations of the Hard Fist? If you still believe in talent and fate, then first consider yourself as a talented person who works hard. From now on, your goal is Lee."
Kakashi saw that Neji's "fate" foundation had been shaken, so he struck while the iron was hot, overturning his concept of fate and the branch family. Of course, there was evidence for this, as a high-ranking Konoha instructor, he still had the right to know this information.
After that, although Neji still didn't like Kakashi very much, he no longer sneered at his classmates, instead, he ran around Konoha with Lee, the training maniac, every day.
…
After learning and playing together for a year, although they hadn't really fought, they were all relatively familiar with each other, and none of the thirteen of them were in a hurry to make the first move.
Except for two people.
Naruto and Kiba almost attacked at the same time.
Shadow Clone Jutsu!
Beast Human Technique: Beast Human Clone!
The two hotheads, each with their clones, charged towards the opposite side.
But Naruto's speed, in front of Lee and his taijutsu-specialized class, was like an old lady strolling down the street. Lee first squatted down slightly, his right leg in front and his left leg behind, assuming a bow stance; his right hand stood upright in front of him, his left hand was behind his back; then, he stomped his foot, and his whole body charged into Naruto's human sea of clones at a very high speed!
Just a few breaths later, the human sea of shadow clones, who had been roaring loudly just now, was drowned out by a series of "bang, bang" sounds.
"Naruto, come back!" Sakura screamed nervously. If Naruto was eliminated first, with her strength, their team would definitely lose.
But luckily, Naruto felt his clones being eliminated one by one, realizing the danger, he did a few backflips and returned to Sasuke's side.
Looking back at the human sea he had created with a lot of chakra, only a pile of white smoke that hadn't dissipated remained.
"Stupid."
"Hey, don't say anything like that now, okay? Sasuke, you're an idiot!"
"Tch. Then you go ahead." But even as he said this, Sasuke still followed Naruto, charging towards the cloud of white smoke. After all, in the past year, they had been training with Haryu whenever they had free time. And during their two-on-one practice, they had also developed their own combination jutsu.
"Naruto, let's go!" Sasuke gave the order, and Naruto received it in time, the two of them started preparing at the same time.
Sasuke first located Lee in the cloud of white smoke, then suddenly accelerated!
Fire Release: Fire Flame Foot!
This was a new C-rank jutsu that Sasuke had developed based on his own ideas, under Kakashi's guidance. This could be used as an auxiliary skill to accelerate, and it could also enhance the damage of taijutsu.
And it was perfect for a surprise attack now.
"Lee! Be careful!" Outside the cloud of white smoke, Neji had been watching the situation inside with his Byakugan. When he discovered Sasuke approaching at high speed, he immediately warned Lee, but it was too late.
