After delivering his dramatic line, Logan waved his hand, exuding the aura of a master.
However, Sasuke, being a normal person, did not respond with 'Can this method lead to immortality?' or 'I refuse to learn' nor did he cruelly say, 'Get lost'. Instead, he was stunned for a moment before he caught on.
"Hattori-sensei, are you talking about Lightning Release Ninjutsu?"
Logan nodded thoughtfully, 'Sigh… Sometimes, it's quite boring when no one picked up on my jokes.'
"Yes, we've known each other for quite a while, so I've decided to teach you a cool technique. One that won't disgrace my reputation if you told others I'm your teacher." Logan said theatrically, then pulled out a Chakra Test Paper from his pocket, "Try infusing your Chakra into this paper."
As someone born into a prestigious Uchiha Clan, Sasuke naturally knew about this paper.
Sasuke always regarded Logan as 'mysterious and powerful', given his numerous achievements and the fact that he had always come out on top in their sparring matches.
'Hattori-sensei wants to teach me a powerful Ninjutsu...' As he received the paper, Sasuke suppressed his excitement. For him, nothing was more enticing than gaining strength. He then focused his refined yet scarce Chakra into the paper.
Sasuke had experienced the Chakra control training of climbing trees and treading water very early on, so he had a solid foundation. The paper soon showed changes: one half wrinkled, and the other half burned.
Half pleated, half burned.
"Sasuke, you have a talent for both lightning and fire. Just as I expected from my student. I also possess both lightning and fire nature transformations." Logan said, lying through his teeth with a thick-skinned face. It was common knowledge that most Uchiha clan members had a fire nature, but there is no need to say much about Sasuke's Lightning Release.
"Lightning and fire..." Sasuke digested the information. Every ninja, when first learning about their elemental affinities, couldn't help but be fascinated and thoughtful.
"The technique I'm going to teach you is an S-Rank Lightning Release Ninjutsu. It's a single-target attack with immense power, but it's highly difficult to master. Learning it won't be easy." Yu Xiaobai smiled and said to Sasuke, his tone was deliberately a bit exaggerated and provocative.
After hearing this, Sasuke's lips curved into a smile. He was definitely willing to learn S-Rank Ninjutsu. He noticed the provocation in Logan's words and accepted the challenge, "Is that so? I'll surpass your expectations and master it, sensei."
'Sure enough, it was such a reaction.'
"Haha." Logan responded with an unwavering smile. He thought of Sasuke's boast after teaching him the tree climbing. He felt that having Sasuke as a student was quite interesting, "Alright, I'll demonstrate it for you first. Watch closely."
"The name of this technique is 'Chidori'."
Logan performed the hand seals slowly, and soon, the sound of birds chirping filled the courtyard. Blue lightning danced around his hand, the power of a high-level lightning nature transformation, the sound and light intensifying. As the lightning reached its peak, Sasuke's eyes widened, his dark pupils reflecting the brilliance of the technique. The normally casual Logan appeared formidable and resolute, bathed in the light of the Chidori.
…
The blue sky gradually darkened as the courtyard fell silent. In the surrounding streets and alleys, activity slowed down with the end of the day.
As lights turned on, the evening began in Konoha Village, still bustling with various activities. Logan walked on rooftops, observing the warm lights spreading outward in a half-arc. The tranquil night wind brushed past, and occasionally, he caught glimpses of shadows moving behind windows.
Logan had just demonstrated the Chidori, a technique capable of piercing through armies, which naturally impressed Sasuke. However, mastering it required steady, step-by-step practice. Logan had explained the hand seals and initial control of lightning chakra, and Sasuke was immediately absorbed in his practice. Logan, who was standing on the side, felt helpless and had no choice but to leave after reminding, "Don't forget tomorrow's exercise."
With Sasuke's talent, mastering the S-Rank Chidori, which is comparable to Raikiri and not the weakened version from the original, would require significant time and effort. Logan taught him the basics first, and then would take his time with the rest. However, he taught Sasuke earlier than the original work and replaced Kakashi's role.
Logan moved along the rooftops towards home. The scenery was warm and peaceful, an image no one wished to disturb.
He doesn't care whether the current story diverged from the original or stayed the same. If things remained pleasant, he wouldn't have to disrupt the original plot for no reason. It's not like he would feel uncomfortable if he doesn't cause trouble.
"Hey, Ninja over there, please don't run on the rooftops!"
A group of Ninjas on night patrol called out to Logan. Logan was stunned for a moment, then he sheepishly waved and jumped down to walk.
Since ordinary people and Ninjas live together in the same place, not everyone is willing to watch others casually step on the roof and windows of their homes.
Without special circumstances, Ninjas were not supposed to jump around recklessly. Because of this, Logan could only walk home slowly.
'Since there hasn't been another transmigration incident, I guess this arc will continue until the survival exercise is over.' Logan thought as he washed up and changed into casual clothes.
He didn't inform Sasuke about the two Jonin being very late the next day, nor did he remind him to have breakfast. After all, Yu Logan and Kakashi had agreed to keep it secret.
In addition, Logan also thought it would be good to see with his own eyes the plight of the three students in Team 7. Of course, he planned to silently critique Kakashi's unreasonable actions while enjoying the show as a bystander.
'After meeting Naruto and the others, it's like making my TV debut.' Logan mused as he lay down, feeling a mix of anticipation and nervousness about appearing in the manga with his true appearance.
The night passed without incident.
Early in the morning, at 4:50, in a training ground on the mountainside, the setting was serene with green hills and clear waters, centered around a memorial stone for fallen Ninjas. At this time, most people were still asleep, and waking up was out of the question.
The sky was just beginning to lighten, even the diligent birds hadn't left their nests yet. However, three figures appeared from different directions, walking on the dew-covered grass.
"Good morning, Sakura."
"Good morning..."
"Sasuke, good morning..."
Naruto, who had always been full of energy, looked dispirited. Sakura struggled to lift her bag, and Sasuke couldn't maintain his usual cool demeanor, as he had been up late studying Chakra Nature Transformations. All three had dark circles under their eyes, looking weary beyond their years.
'Who in their right mind wakes up at five in the morning?' The three of them stood there, bags in hand, waiting powerlessly for the dreaded exercise to begin.
Unfortunately, this was just the start of their woes.
At 5:10, the two expected teachers had not arrived.
Six o'clock, seven o'clock, nine o'clock...
The sky brightened, cheerful birds chirped, and the dew evaporated. As the sun climbed higher, Team 7's expressions grew darker and darker.
No one said anything, but if resentment could kill, Kakashi and Logan would have died countless times by now.
