"So fast!"

The exchange between Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Yoru inside the training ground was filled with dazzling ninjutsu, leaving the onlookers astonished. Even Sarutobi Asuma, who was usually unimpressed, showed a look of shock.

The speed of hand seals represents a ninja's control and speed of chakra circulation within their body. It can only be honed through continuous training, with no shortcuts available. It's similar to some people being born with fully open chakra pathways, while others have to open them one by one.

The speed and precise control of chakra circulation within a ninja's body almost determine the difficulty of mastering ninjutsu. Some ninjas, even at the jonin level, may never be able to master S-rank ninjutsu in their lifetime due to not meeting the requirements.

The onlookers also noticed the blood-red Sharingan in Uchiha Yoru's eyes with two spinning tomoe. Envy surged within them instantly. Ebisu, in particular, had a dazed expression and muttered to himself, "So this is a kekkei genkai ninja!"

While civilian ninjas can strive and even believe that hard work can surpass natural talent, the existence of kekkei genkai ninjas shatters that theory, leaving them feeling powerless and envious.

Uchiha Yoru was considered talented to some extent in the past, standing at the top of his class. However, ever since his eyes awakened, his talent has been overwhelming.

Even Might Guy had astonishment in his eyes. "The awakened kekkei genkai is unexpectedly powerful."

Although it took Kakashi, a genius, years of effort to achieve his current level of chakra control, his opponent had surpassed him in just six months.

But the moment was fleeting. Might Guy immediately shouted with excitement, his voice filled with fervor, "Haha! This is youth! Burn with passion, youth!"

With Might Guy's interruption, the stunned feeling and its impact on their state of mind dissipated by half. Having such a classmate was also fortunate.

Inside the training ground, Kakashi evaded the opponent's ninjutsu by diving into a nearby lake, utilizing the terrain to his advantage after enduring the intense Fire Release.

Just as the flames dissipated and a faint heat rose from the lake's surface, Kakashi emerged from the lake, already seeing Uchiha Yoru rapidly approaching.

The sound of lightning suddenly flashed in the night, and Kakashi instinctively released the Chidori in response. Two flashes of lightning shimmered under the moonlight, causing the onlookers' hearts to race.

As the lightning subsided, the echoes of the Chidori resounded. Some spectators breathed a sigh of relief, others showed excitement, and some wore expressions of disbelief.

On the surface of the lake, amidst the flickering lightning, the lightning in Kakashi's hand flickered, and a hand gripped his wrist like a steel cable.

"Is this a ninjutsu you developed?"

At this moment, Kakashi's eyes were filled with a complex expression. Uchiha Yoru was surrounded by dazzling arcs of lightning, one hand gripping Kakashi's wrist even before the Chidori fully formed. It now flickered intermittently.

"This ninjutsu is called Chidori Flow, based on the Chidori that you developed!"

Nodding slightly, the arcs of electricity emanating from their bodies began to dissipate, and Uchiha Yoru slowly released Kakashi's wrist. The two stood on the lake's surface, facing each other, and Uchiha Yoru revealed a smile.

"Kakashi, at the critical moment, it seemed like I saw fear in your eyes!"

Uchiha Yoru's expression gradually became serious. He couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "Kakashi, the scars of war take time to heal. You are no longer suitable for ANBU. If you're willing, the Konoha Police Force welcomes you."

In the final attack, Kakashi's ninjutsu didn't succeed, perhaps due to the aftermath of war. Fear had suddenly appeared in his eyes while releasing the Chidori. Uchiha Yoru, aware of the cause and effect, shook his head. Was it because of Rin Nohara, killing his own teammate, that he still couldn't move on? (There was a similar scene in the original work, the stain that can't be washed away.)

At this moment, Kakashi felt frustrated. In the contest of ninjutsu, his opponent had even seized the initiative. It was the first time he had encountered such a complete defeat in a ninjutsu contest, not due to power but the speed of releasing techniques that countered his own. It felt like he was fighting against himself from ten years in the future.

And ultimately, he lost because of his own developed Chidori. His Chidori failed to be released, while the opponent unleashed the Chidori Flow based on his research. Frustrating!

Especially the final attempt at persuasion. Although Hatake Kakashi felt frustrated at this moment, after the match, he calmly pulled down his forehead protector to once again cover his Sharingan.

"You... Kakashi, you're really not suitable for ANBU anymore."

After the battle ended, everyone gathered around, especially Might Guy, who showed a grave expression. Looking at Kakashi, he spoke his mind, and the others nodded in agreement.

They had witnessed everything that happened clearly just now. While Uchiha Yoru seemed to have the upper hand in releasing ninjutsu, that didn't encompass the entirety of a ninja's combat skills. In the final attack, they saw Kakashi suddenly lose focus and fail to execute the ninjutsu.

The battle seemed to be won by Uchiha Yoru, but it was Kakashi's distraction that caused it. Moreover, they were only sparring.

"Kakashi, you really aren't suited for ANBU anymore." Even Yuhi Kurenai, who usually didn't concern herself with others, wore a serious expression as she spoke earnestly to Kakashi.

They all saw what happened to Kakashi just now. Thankfully, it happened during a friendly match. If it had occurred on the battlefield or during a mission, it would have been dangerous.

"Kakashi, you need to rest." Sarutobi Asuma also stepped forward, his face showing concern. They didn't want to see a classmate collapse during a mission due to the wounds of war.

The war was already over, and Kakashi had endured the most brutal battles. If he were to fall during a regular mission, it would be a real loss due to the psychological trauma. They were classmates, and although they may have had competition among them, there were no personal interests or political struggles involved. They genuinely cared for each other as classmates.

Seeing the worried looks in their eyes, Kakashi nodded calmly, "Alright, I understand."

Kakashi's somewhat indifferent response made the others furrow their brows. From a personal perspective, they didn't want their classmate to fail in this mission. From a broader perspective, Kakashi was a jonin and one of Konoha's most outstanding talents. They didn't want the village to lose such a genius.
