"Kakashi!"
"Stop!"
Bam!
Just as Kakashi's Raikiri, tightly gripped in his right hand, was about to pierce Yasuke's chest, there suddenly came a loud shout from afar, giving Yasuke a glimmer of hope!
Because, hearing that familiar voice, Yasuke knew the Fourth Hokage had arrived!
With the Fourth Hokage present, Yasuke knew he had a chance at survival!
Sure enough, the Fourth Hokage didn't disappoint Yasuke. Just when Kakashi was unable to control the intensity of his Raikiri, almost killing Yasuke, the Fourth Hokage's figure appeared like a golden lightning bolt, instantly arriving between Yasuke and Kakashi, forcefully patting Kakashi's wrist!
Bam!
Another loud sound, that was Kakashi's Raikiri hitting the ground, creating a deep crater!
In that moment, both Yasuke and Kakashi were covered in cold sweat on their foreheads and backs. Obviously, Yasuke was lucky that the Fourth Hokage arrived in time to save his life, but the cold sweat was also due to the previous brush with death. Kakashi's sweat, on the other hand, was out of realization for his mistake!
"I... I almost killed Yasuke just now?"
"What's wrong with me?"
Taking a few deep breaths, Yasuke's panicked feelings finally calmed down, but Kakashi still remained dazed.
Then, seeing himself preventing the tragedy in time, the Fourth Hokage also breathed a sigh of relief. Then, seeing that Yasuke hadn't suffered any injuries, just a bit of panic, the Fourth Hokage's stern gaze fell on Kakashi, angrily reprimanding:
"Kakashi, do you know what you were just doing?"
"Yasuke is not your enemy, but your comrade. Even if you're sparring, you still need to exercise restraint, don't you think?"
"Sensei, I-I know I was wrong."
With his head hanging low, Kakashi didn't even have the courage to meet the Fourth Hokage's gaze.
After apologizing to the Fourth Hokage, Kakashi quickly turned to Yasuke, first bowing deeply, then apologizing, "Yasuke, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you, it's just that..."
"I understand, it's inevitable to have some mental disorders after being on the battlefield for so long! Kakashi, I'm fine, let's just forget about it!"
Even if Yasuke truly resented Kakashi's lack of restraint, in front of the Fourth Hokage, he had to maintain appearances, right?
Moreover, Yasuke's mindset was good!
If it were on the battlefield, being inferior in skill could mean death. So Kakashi's sudden Raikiri attack was equivalent to an important lesson for Yasuke.
Moreover, Yasuke had also made progress in the moment of life and death before.
Just as Kakashi's Raikiri was about to land on Yasuke's chest, Yasuke suddenly felt as if something had shattered in his head!
Immediately after, a vague feeling began to surround Yasuke.
Now, even without using chakra perception, Yasuke could faintly sense what was happening around him. So, for various reasons, Yasuke couldn't blame Kakashi, who had inadvertently saved him. Instead, he had to thank Kakashi properly. However, Kakashi had made a mistake, so he definitely couldn't accept Yasuke's gratitude.
Seeing Yasuke and Kakashi reconcile, the Fourth Hokage also breathed a sigh of relief.
But just when Yasuke thought that the misunderstanding from earlier was about to be resolved, the stern gaze of the Fourth Hokage fell on Yasuke again!
"Yasuke, Kakashi knows he was wrong, but do you know you were wrong too?"
"Huh?"
Taken aback for a moment, Yasuke quickly realized that the Fourth Hokage was about to give them both a good scolding, so he nodded quickly and said, "Sensei, I know I was wrong!"
"Good, as long as you know."
Nodding silently, the Fourth Hokage liked Yasuke's attitude of admitting his mistake.
First looking at Kakashi, who had his head down, and then shifting his gaze to Yasuke, the Fourth Hokage slowly said, "Kakashi was wrong to use a dangerous jutsu during the spar, almost injuring you, Yasuke. And your mistake, Yasuke, is not respecting your seniors. If you didn't provoke Kakashi, would he have used such a dangerous jutsu?"
"So, Yasuke, apologize to Kakashi!"
"Senior Kakashi, I know I was wrong!"
Feeling a bit strange in his heart, but who made the Fourth Hokage the Fourth Hokage, and not him?
Might makes right, and the Fourth Hokage's fist was undoubtedly the biggest, so Yasuke could only silently apologize to Kakashi.
Overall, the Fourth Hokage was a reasonable person. At least he didn't punish Yasuke or Kakashi for this matter. Seeing Yasuke and Kakashi reconcile and even exchange a handshake of reconciliation, the Fourth Hokage then redirected Yasuke and Kakashi's attention to their training.
"Kakashi, now that you're already a Jonin, most of the time you need to find your own way forward. Just like Jiraiya taught me, I also have to learn to let you go forward on your own. However, the problem with you is significant, and as a teacher, I must solve the problems on you. So for the next few days, you will practice with Yasuke and me."
After the Fourth Hokage finished speaking, Kakashi nodded silently.
In terms of trust, Kakashi absolutely trusted the Fourth Hokage, so when the Fourth Hokage implied that he could help Kakashi solve the problem of chakra quantity and consumption, Kakashi agreed without hesitation.
Once again, shifting his gaze, the Fourth Hokage looked at Yasuke.
Looking at Yasuke's excited eyes, the Fourth Hokage smiled slightly and said, "Yasuke, you're very smart, and your foundation is very good. With your efforts, in at most three years, you really have the possibility of surpassing Kakashi and becoming the youngest Jonin in history. But unfortunately, as you are now, if you were to enter the battlefield, without lifesaving means and trump cards, your chances of survival on the battlefield are indeed too slim."
"So, to solve the problems between you and Kakashi, I've decided to let you both follow me to train in this technique!"
"That's it."
Saying so, the Fourth Hokage suddenly took a step forward, then extended his right hand, gathering his chakra within.
Then, under the expectant gaze of Yasuke and Kakashi, chakra gradually appeared in the palm of the Fourth Hokage, forming a circular shape - isn't it the Rasengan?
So, Yasuke, who already knew the principles of Rasengan training, sneered disdainfully as the Fourth Hokage proudly displayed the Rasengan. Instead, it was Kakashi, who had developed S-rank techniques on his own, who, upon seeing the Fourth Hokage's Rasengan, still had the appearance of a country bumpkin, repeatedly exclaiming:
"Sensei, are you going to teach me and Yasuke the Rasengan?"
"Yes, it's the Rasengan!"
