Takemi and Naruto had a pretty good relationship. After all, they lived in the same block, in houses of the same style, and were both orphans. Furthermore, Takemi was a transmigrator, so it was naturally impossible for him to bear any ill will towards Naruto. After a few back-and-forths, they got to know each other well. At first, he was a little scared, as Naruto was probably being monitored everywhere by Anbu or even Root. But after interacting for a while, he found that no one came to bother him, which put his mind at ease. "I'm still young, and my background should be very clean, and I'm not an Uchiha, so what's there to be afraid of?" Even if he were an Uchiha, Sasuke and Naruto were in the same class. Besides, Naruto was really rich. His allowance was unusually generous. It was just that the villagers were malicious towards him and sometimes wouldn't sell him things, which made him have to buy a large amount of things at once to hoard at home. In the end, they would expire if left for too long. In addition to that, he was particularly fond of buying 'limited edition' ramen, which was unusually expensive. Although Takemi wasn't poor to the point of it being heartbreaking, he wouldn't miss such a big 'opportunity'. "And I have to thank him for letting me know what to do." After returning home, Takemi plopped down on the bed, recalling the strange feeling he had when he met Naruto. He knew the composition of the Ōtsutsuki's power, but the bloodline he got was a blank slate, which complicated the process. If he were an Uchiha, it would be simple. Even if he were a Hyuga, as long as he found the passage to the moon, he could probably easily defeat Toneri, a blind person by striking hard at the right time. But now it was good. In the Ichiraku Ramen, he found that the power on Naruto was actually useful to him, which made his thought run wild. "Since it's just at 1%, compatibility and plasticity will be greater, so..." Why not gather all the powers that might be related to the Ōtsutsuki? For example, Indra's and Asura's Chakra? Indeed, Indra's and Asura's power could only be considered a mutated power that Kaguya obtained after getting the Chakra fruit. But the question is, did it belong to Kaguya? And the Tailed Beasts, they originated from the Ten-Tails, but was the Ten-Tails the Ōtsutsuki's pet? "Even that Taketori clan with Kankyogan, Jugo clan with their affinity for Senjutsu and Kaguya clan..." As for the Byakugan... "Maybe if I develop my bloodline properly, I can awaken it on my own?" Takemi was actually worried at first, what if he awakened a Byakugan? Wouldn't his eyes turn white? But to his relief and a little disappointment, he didn't have such a change at all. Perhaps his bloodline development wasn't enough, or perhaps he had to acquire the power of others. "So, I can basically confirm what I need to do." Thinking of this, Takemi secretly nodded. Now he just had to wait for Kakashi to take him out to have some fun. After all, only by going out can he come into contact with more people and obtain higher-level side missions suitable for him. However, one day later... "No, Kakashi-sensei, what do you mean you haven't thought of anything?" Early in the morning, in a training ground in Konoha, Takemi looked at Kakashi with surprise. "You're not joking, are you?" "Is there a need to be so surprised?" Kakashi rubbed his messy white hair, and then spread his hands. "Your situation is a bit special. Based on your performance yesterday, it's obviously impossible to start with D-rank missions. As for other missions, I haven't thought of them yet. Don't forget I just came out of the Anbu." Kakashi wasn't lying. It was his first time being a Jonin instructor after coming out of the Anbu, so he was a bit rusty. But what he didn't say was... He had gone to 'stand guard' in front of the memorial stone early in the morning and hadn't thought about much else at all. Of course, he had his own plans. "Then why not just follow your model from back then?" Takemi frowned and asked. "My situation back then was special. It was wartime, different from now." Kakashi shrugged. This made Takemi roll his eyes. "What's different? Anyway, isn't a ninja just a profession that accepts requests, cuts people down, and earns money for the village?" "Although that understanding isn't wrong, it's a bit extreme..." Kakashi's eyelid twitched. Takemi remained unmoved. He rubbed his chin and continued, "I heard from merchants who came to the village that there seems to be a wealthy man named Gato who intends to forcefully control the trade along the Land of Waves. How about we..." As he spoke, he made a gesture of slicing his neck. "This way, we can get his money and also enrich the village!" "..." Kakashi's eyes widened. For a moment, he even doubted if he had been deceived. Could it be that there was a reason why those two kids attacked each other yesterday? "No, your idea is too extreme! We can't mess around without a mission involved, understood?" "Yes, yes, yes..." Takemi pursed his lips. He was wondering if he should issue a mission himself so they could go out. But he has no money, and missions are recorded. So, he had no choice but to give up helplessly. "This kid..." While Takemi had a headache, Kakashi was also having a headache. He found that teaching students seemed more troublesome than he had imagined. Takemi indeed had the 'Will of Fire' in his heart. Even when robbing, he was thinking of the village, but wasn't this too extreme? Kakashi felt that his responsibility was heavy. He has to train Takemi well. "Forget it, don't think about such messy things in the future. I'll teach you some simple things first." "Oh..." Takemi felt a little dejected, but still nodded. "Based on your fight yesterday, you seem to have learned quite a few Fire Release and Earth Release ninjutsu from Guy." Kakashi recalled the fight from yesterday and said, rubbing his chin. "Since that's the case, I'll teach you an Earth Release Ninjutsu!" "..." Wait, you're a Ninja from the Land of Fire, and you're actively teaching Earth Release? Takemi pursed his lips, but at this moment, he suddenly found that a new side mission had appeared. [Obtained a new side mission] [Who is the Real Copy Ninja?] [Accept Mission?] "A ninja's life isn't just about fighting and killing. I'll teach you a defensive Ninjutsu first." Takemi was still hesitating whether to accept, but Kakashi had already continued speaking. His hand signs were slow, deliberately allowing Takemi to see clearly. After a series of complex hand signs, he pressed his hands on the ground. "With this technique, you can better protect your comrades." "Earth Release: Earth Style Wall!" Along with the infusion of Chakra, the ground suddenly began to shake, and the next moment, an earth wall rose up. "Did you see it clearly?" After doing all this, Kakashi stood up, took out Icha Icha Paradise from his pocket, and said nonchalantly. "Study hard. The path of a ninja is very long, and this technique isn't difficult..." "It's really not difficult." Before Kakashi could finish speaking, Takemi nodded. At the same time, he also began to form hand signs. "Thank you, Kakashi-sensei, for deliberately slowing down. You made it easy for me to learn, so..." As he spoke, Takemi had already pressed his hands on the ground, mimicking Kakashi, and the Chakra within his body surged. "Earth Release: Earth Style Wall!" The grass on the training ground trembled! Under Kakashi's astonished gaze, an earth wall about the same size as the one before rose from the ground. "This..." Kakashi muttered to himself. At this moment, Takemi spoke softly again, "And I think I can make this Ninjutsu more refined, for example..." More refined? Kakashi was a little confused, but before he could speak, he was surprised to find that the Wall had indeed changed. With another surge of Chakra, the faces of the past Hokages actually appeared on the wall? This Ninjutsu... It could be used like this?
