Chapter 3 - Vol. 1 Chapter 7

"That's not fair..."

Kakashi looked at his brother and muttered: "No wonder I could never beat you, using an enhanced genome is...cheating."

Eruashi smiled and stroked his chin thoughtfully, "Since when is using an enhanced genome in battle considered cheating? But since you said so, I won't be using it in our battles anymore."

Kakashi is indeed a genius among geniuses.

Although they both inherited the White Fang lineage of Konoha, yet Eruashi is not as talented in ninjutsu as Kakashi, but that doesn't stop him from being stronger, because he spends much more time training!

The time acceleration effect not only shows up directly in combat, but also has a huge impact on training, since entering Naruto's world, Eruashi has spent at least twice as much time training as Kakashi!

"...No, forget what I said."

Kakashi thought for a moment and shook his head.

The enhanced genome is an innate feature of the shinobi and cannot be considered cheating, defeating Yeruashi who does not use the enhanced genome will make little or no difference.

No one can forbid a shinobi from using the enhanced genome on the battlefield.

"Hmm, but even with an enhanced genome, you won't necessarily always be stronger than me, I'll catch up with you at the first opportunity."

Kakashi didn't show a trace of confusion, because the improved genome is not invincible.

The third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, does not have an enhanced genome, but he has become famous throughout the world as an incredibly powerful shinobi, the people of Konoha even consider him the strongest among the five kages!

"I will wait for this day."

Eruashi smiled and reached out his hand, about to rub Kakashi's hair, but he bounced sharply away.

As Kakashi gritted his teeth and was about to say that he shouldn't use such moves meant for small children, a cheerful and loud voice overflowing with energy came from afar.

"Hey! Kakashi, you're here! I've been looking for you for a long time..."

Eruashi looked around and saw a young man in green tights running out of the bushes, of course he recognized his identity at a glance.

Maito Gai!

Maito Gai ran past Eruashi, jumped up into the air and kicked Kakashi, but he deftly dodged and the guy in the green tights flew past.

"Did you see that?! Kakashi! It's called the Konoha Vortex!"

"...."

Kakashi looked lazily at Maito Gai, dodged another kick and counterattacked.

Maito Gai missed Kakashi's punch, but his body felt like it was filled with inexhaustible energy, "I have to win this time! Kakashi! Take the punch!!!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

A battle ensued between Maito Gai and Kakashi.

As in the original, Maito Gai considered Kakashi his eternal rival, challenging him at every opportunity.

Eruashi watched their rather stiff sparring, shrugged his shoulders, jumped up a tree, and continued quietly watching.

Maito Gai will be able to open all eight gates of the Hachimon Tonko technique in the future, naturally his talent for physical body training is undeniable, but the current Maito Gai is not yet familiar with the technique, although he is able to suppress Kakashi in taijutsu, but once Kakashi uses ninjutsu and other means, he will immediately fall into a very disadvantaged position.

Crack!!!

Kakashi had just been defeated by Eruashi and was in a terrible mood, after a brief exchange of blows with his opponent, he used ninjutsu of the element of lightning, Maito Gai flew back with a scream, his hair stood up on end, his clothes slightly burned.

"Ah...shit..."

Maito Gai fell to the ground, realizing that once again he was defeated, he did not show a sullen expression, but said vigorously, spitting out smoke: "Next time...I'll win..."

Kakashi folded his arms across his chest and nodded: "It's too early to give up, your ambition to defeat me is very similar to my ambition to defeat Eruashi."

"Thank you for your support..."

Maito Gai rose from the ground, ran up to Kakashi, and gave him a thumbs-up.

But the next moment he froze in place and blinked, realizing Kakashi's words, "Kakashi...what did you just say?"

"Nothing, whatever it was, you just heard it."

Kakashi waved his hand.

Maito Gai frowned and looked suspiciously at Eruashi sitting in the tree.

Kakashi seemed to have just said that...he couldn't beat Eruashi?

Although Eruashi was Kakashi's older brother, Maito Gai never thought about which of the two brothers was stronger, after all the contrast is too great, one was promoted to Chuunin at the age of six and the other just gets some of the best grades in class.

Perhaps he misheard.

His desire to defeat Kakashi, comparable to Eruashi's desire to defeat Kakashi, that was the meaning of those words....The frown on Maito Gai's face was replaced by an epiphany.

Whew!

Eruashi jumped down from the tree, landed on the ground, and turned to Maito Gai, "Are you planning to continue training right away, or are you going to rest and eat?"

Because Maito Gai constantly challenges and sometimes trains with Kakashi, Eruashi was also familiar with him. Maito Dai and Maito Gai, this father-son duo constantly attracted strange and bewildered looks from the people of Konoha, but to Eruashi and Kakashi, their strange clothes and demeanor, made no difference.

Hachimon Tonko...

Hachimon Tonko's impulse allowed Maito Dai to crush the Seven Swordsmen of Mist, four of whom were killed on the spot, while the rest escaped through sheer luck with lifelong psychological trauma.

Not to mention the fact that Maito Gai was able to fight the Madara of the Six Ways! Some of the time he literally swept the ground with it!!!

The only problem is the short duration of the technique.

Hachimon Tonko can't be called a complicated technique, no, almost any shinobi can start practicing it, it just requires persistent training of his body, but achieving great success is too time consuming, it would require years of relentless, monotonous and hellish training.

Therefore, it is the simple-minded and incredibly persistent people like Maito Gai and Maito Dai who are able to practice this technique to the extreme.

"...I lost to Kakashi, so I have to do three thousand squats first, and only then rest and eat!"

Hearing Eruashi's words, Maito Gai responded vigorously, and began to squat, ignoring Kakashi.

Seeing that Maito Gai began to train hard, Kakashi shook his head and turned to Eruashi, "I'm not hungry either, time to get some practice in."

He wasn't actually influenced by Maito Gai, but by Eruashi.

Suddenly it turned out that Yeruashi had an improved genome, if he didn't train his hardest, the gap between them would probably get bigger and bigger, it was totally unacceptable.

"Alright, train hard, I'm going to go eat."

Yeruashi didn't change his mind.

Normal people can't synchronize the training schedule with him, because of the regular use of the time acceleration ability, he has to eat a full meal at least five times a day, and his actual training time is more than the combined training time of Maito Gai and Kakashi!
