Chapter 130 Is this the method Kitahara Kaede mentioned for breaking through to Kage level? [First Update]
Advanced training content includes things like climbing trees and wading through water, as well as some low-level ninjutsu and common knowledge about the ninja world, which the instructor might teach if he's in a good mood.
All of this knowledge will be passed on to these newly graduated genin during this process.
Since it's not wartime, there's no need for them to rush to the battlefield as cannon fodder. For ordinary new genin, this process is necessary to help them adapt to their ninja identity as quickly as possible. However, for Uchiha Sasuke, it's a bit like playing house.
With his current strength, he has far surpassed that of ordinary Chunin, and even elite Chunin might not be his match.
Such tasks were a waste of his time, yet he had to deal with them patiently and couldn't skip them, which frustrated him greatly.
Because the enemies he faced were too strong, he could only feel a little at ease when he came back at night to practice alone, because only at this time could he feel that he was getting stronger.
Or perhaps his feeling wasn't wrong; in fact, he had been getting stronger all along, and in just a few months after graduation, his strength had increased at least two or three times.
However, it still wasn't enough.
"Not enough, not enough, still not enough!"
Sasuke Uchiha's hands were wrapped in bandages. He had been practicing Chidori frequently lately, which had resulted in his arms being constantly injured.
Such progress is still far from enough compared to the number of people he wants to kill.
Suddenly, he felt the unique sensation of updating his diary, and he quickly struggled to get up, went to his desk, and took out his diary.
Inside an inn in Konoha Village, Jiraiya looked at a thick stack of information about Kitahara Kaede placed in front of him.
Before him stood a Jonin dressed as an Anbu member, exuding a fierce aura, yet he was extremely respectful in front of Jiraiya.
Although he was a Jonin of the Anbu and held the position of a squad leader, a high-ranking and powerful figure within the Anbu, he dared not show any arrogance in front of Jiraiya.
Because he was one of Jiraiya's old subordinates who had followed him for many years. Although he wasn't a student or disciple, he was still considered one of his trusted confidants back then.
Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin, who defected, still has a large following and potential former subordinates in Konoha. How could Jiraiya, also one of the Legendary Sannin, not have any former subordinates?
Among the secret service, this old subordinate of his was considered the most successful and held the highest position.
Therefore, he specifically obtained relevant information about Kitahara Kaede through this old subordinate.
After learning a lot from the diary, his curiosity about Kitahara Kaede reached its peak. However, he had not yet officially announced his return to Konoha. The Konoha leadership was not completely unaware of this, but since he himself was unwilling to appear in public, Hiruzen Sarutobi could only turn a blind eye.
Everyone assumed he had come back to rest for a while, since similar incidents had happened quite often in the past.
No one knows what Jiraiya was carrying in his heart when he returned to Konoha this time.
"Is that all?" Jiraiya asked, looking at the documents.
"Yes, Lord Jiraiya," the ANBU Jonin replied respectfully.
Although Jiraiya was only a Jonin in terms of class, and so was he, they were actually from completely different dimensions.
"But this Kitahara Kaede is a bit strange," the ANBU Jonin thought for a moment and then said.
"What's so strange about it?" Jiraiya asked casually as he looked at the documents.
This information is very comprehensive, starting from the ancestors of the Kitahara family, all the way to Kitahara Kaede's father's death in the line of duty, then to Kitahara Kaede's grades in various subjects at school, his mission completion status after graduation, when he was promoted to Chunin, his ninjutsu skills, and so on.
"According to Anbu's usual practice, all ninjas of Chunin rank and above have automatic files created. However, the files of ordinary Chunin are usually quite brief, generally recording only their names, family backgrounds, grades at the Ninja Academy, and basic information such as past missions—usually just a few pages long. But Kitahara Kaede's file is much longer, and much of it was recently investigated. It's said that the investigation was carried out on the orders of the Third Hokage," the Anbu Jonin replied. "I wonder what's going on with this Kitahara Kaede. His security clearance level has been raised from C to B, meaning at least a squad leader like myself is qualified to access it."
"The old man noticed him too?" Jiraiya raised an eyebrow. He manually flipped to the next few pages. Indeed, compared to the average Chunin, there was an absurd amount of information about Kitahara Kaede. Even Jonin didn't have this much information.
Only the files of certain high-ranking ninjas that are under close scrutiny would have this much information.
Furthermore, if the security level is C, it means that the information can be accessed by ordinary people, while if it is raised to B, it means that only Jonin-level ANBU captains can access it.
Given Jiraiya's understanding of the Anbu, this situation was very unnatural.
"Do you know why?" Jiraiya asked.
"According to the data, it's because we're close to the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, so we need to increase our surveillance efforts," the ANBU Jonin replied.
"So it's related to the Nine-Tails?" Jiraiya nodded. If that's the case, then many questions make sense.
The importance of the Jinchūriki of a Tailed Beast to any village is beyond doubt.
Suddenly, he sensed the diary being updated, and then he said, "Alright, that's enough for today. You can go back now. If anyone finds out you were accessing the files, just tell the old man that I asked you to investigate, and he won't make things difficult for you."
"yes!"
After speaking, the ANBU Jonin immediately left.
"It seems that Kitahara Kaede's reckless approach to Naruto has caught the old man's attention," Jiraiya said, stroking his chin. "However, the old man probably doesn't know Kitahara Kaede's true secret yet."
Jiraiya reviewed the various investigations conducted by the Anbu into Kitahara Kaede, including not only the usual information but also analyses of his personality, abilities, strength, and talent.
These are all fairly standard. Jiraiya estimated that his files in the Anbu were much thicker than this, but none of them contained the contents of Kitahara Kaede's core diary.
They're all very standard things.
It didn't even record that Kitahara Kaede had Uchiha clan blood and the Sharingan.
The ability to detect things in the shadows is ultimately limited.
He then opened his diary, intending to see what Kitahara Kaede had updated that day.
Inside the ancestral home of the Hatake clan.
Kakashi Hatake flipped through a yellowed diary containing insights and records about Hatake swordsmanship that he had never seen before.
This is a notebook of his thoughts that he found by chance while cleaning out his father's belongings today.
It was much more profound than the notes and reflections his father, Sakumo Hatake, had left him before.
The previous notes contained various training elements of Hatake swordsmanship from the very beginning, which can be practiced all the way up to the elite Jonin level.
This is the sword technique that the ancestors of the Hatake clan accumulated and improved over generations as they transitioned from a samurai family to a ninja family starting in the Warring States period.
Thanks to this complete training system, the Hatake clan has never lacked Jonin-level experts throughout history. If it weren't for their real fertility problems and the fact that clan members were gradually wiped out in wars, the Hatake clan would definitely be much more glorious than it is now.
However, this new notebook is completely different. It records the insights gained on how to forge one's own path based on the swordsmanship of the Hatake clan, which is on a completely different level.
This involves a level beyond ordinary swordsmanship.
"Is this the method Kitahara Kaede was talking about for breaking through to Kage level?"
Kakashi Hatake noticed that the content and depth of the records were significantly different from what he had seen before.
They no longer consider basic sword techniques or how to make moves, but instead think about the foundation of swordsmanship from a more macro perspective.
The more he looked, the more shocked he became, shocked by his father's talent in swordsmanship.
He was hailed as a genius from a young age, graduating at six and becoming a Chunin at seven, making him a true super genius.
However, he now realizes that his father, who was able to forge a completely new path in the Hatake family's swordsmanship that none of his ancestors had ever taken in the past few centuries, was the real genius.
His understanding of swordsmanship had reached a level that I could not even imagine. In terms of swordsmanship, I have not only failed to inherit my father's mantle, but in fact, I have not even fully mastered the essence of swordsmanship accumulated by the Hatake clan over the past few hundred years.
Obito Uchiha's Sharingan made him famous for replicating Kakashi the ninja, but it also bound him.
He hadn't realized it at all before. With his strength, it was no problem to say that he was the number one person below the Kage level in the village. With such strength, he would be a master wherever he went in the ninja world, and he would be treated with great respect wherever he went.
It wasn't until he read Kitahara Kaede's diary and saw a series of masters that he realized he was still a frog in a well. The strength he had always thought was enough suddenly proved insufficient.
During this time, he had been trying to find a way to break through, and the only method he could think of was to break through through the Hatake sword technique.
But I had no clue how to break through, but today, after discovering this long-forgotten handbook, I suddenly had hope.
A clear path to breaking through to the Shadow level lay before him.
"I should have noticed it a long time ago," Kakashi Hatake said with a wry smile.
The note wasn't hidden very well; if he had been a little more careful when sorting through his father's belongings, he probably would have found it much earlier.
However, since her father's suicide, everything about him has become taboo, so much so that she only discovered this now.
However, before he could take a few more glances, he noticed that the diary had been updated again.
