Then Kitahara Kaede took out a kunai with the Flying Thunder God Technique inscription carved in advance from his ninja tool bag and handed it to the shadow clone, saying, "Just to be on the safe side, I will send one of my shadow clones to support you every month. Keeping two shadow clones there should be enough to handle most situations."

After Kitahara Kaede's shadow clone put away the kunai, it immediately leaped out of the window and disappeared from the spot.

Immediately afterwards, Kitahara Kaede created another shadow clone and had it take the box of money away. He then hid it in advance, and once it was within Konoha's territory, he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport it home, thus bringing the money back to Konoha in a legitimate way.

Half a month passed like this. One day, Kakashi Hatake summoned Kaede Kitahara to a nearby forest and said, "I am grateful for your care, and Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura have also benefited from your guidance. I have been thinking about how to repay you, but I don't know how. I wonder if you would be interested in my unique ninjutsu, Chidori?"

Kitahara Kaede was taken aback; he hadn't expected Kakashi Hatake to offer to teach him his original ninjutsu.

This ninjutsu is incredibly valuable; its worth cannot be measured by the reward for an S-rank mission.

"Kakashi-senpai, I've heard of Chidori and am very interested in it. However, even though I helped you this time, it was just a mission requirement. You don't need to teach me such a precious ninjutsu," Kitahara Kaede said.

He simply couldn't understand it, so he preferred to be cautious.

Kakashi Hatake hadn't expected Kitahara Kaede to be so cautious, managing to remain calm even when facing the Hakucho ninjutsu.

"I suppose it's a kind of exchange. You taught Naruto the Rasengan?" Kakashi Hatake said. "The Rasengan is the signature ninjutsu created by my teacher, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze. I wonder if you know anything about Naruto's background."

Kitahara Kaede remained silent, unable to provide a direct answer.

Since the official sources haven't revealed Naruto's identity, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to answer this question in any way. Besides, the fact that he knows the Rasengan is enough to attract a lot of attention.

This is an A-rank ninjutsu, a trump card ninjutsu developed based on the Tailed Beast Ball.

However, Kakashi Hatake did not ask Kitahara Kaede how he learned the Rasengan. Knowing that the diary existed, he was well aware that Kitahara Kaede possessed many secrets, including this diary and the reason why his strength had improved by leaps and bounds.

Even awakening the Sharingan wouldn't fully explain it, so he didn't intend to delve into it further.

For a ninja, everyone has a few secrets. As long as it's confirmed that Konoha poses no threat to him, that's fine.

"After my teacher passed away, I was depressed for a long time and felt guilty for not taking good care of Naruto. This Chidori is a kind of compensation for that. It just so happens that the levels are the same. Rasengan is an A-rank ninjutsu, and so is Chidori," Kakashi Hatake said.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Kaede seemed to accept the explanation. In any case, it was a good thing that Hatake Kakashi had given him a free Chidori.

Chidori has strong development potential, including later variations like Chidori Stream, which are all excellent ninjutsu.

Thinking of this, Kitahara Kaede immediately asked, "However, there is something I would like to ask Kakashi-senpai. I've heard that the Chidori technique was once used to cut through lightning, hence it's also called Raikiri. Is that true?"

This has always been a question in his mind, because there is a saying that Raikiri and Chidori are actually the same ninjutsu, using the same hand seals and having the same release method.

Furthermore, Kai once said that Chidori is Raikiri.

However, many settings in his previous life distinguished between Chidori and Raikiri, so he was also very interested in knowing whether Chidori was actually Raikiri.

"I guess so, but it's not exactly the same thing," Kakashi Hatake replied after a moment's thought. "Chidori is A..."

It's a first-class ninjutsu, but when trained to a certain level and its power reaches a certain level, it can cut through lightning. However, that's a deeper level of lightning-style chakra nature transformation, and its power is no longer A-rank, but S-rank. So, it's true that Chidori is a type of Raikiri, but they're not exactly the same. I just haven't consciously distinguished between them, so everyone has been calling them that.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Kaede suddenly realized that Raikiri was a ninjutsu derived from Chidori. Chidori could be extended horizontally to form Chidori Stream, or it could be extended vertically to form Raikiri, which were different variations of lightning-style chakra nature.

It's like the Rasengan and the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken – one is an A-rank ninjutsu, while the other has risen to the level of an S-rank ultimate technique.

Although he might not be able to learn Raikiri, learning Chidori would be good too. With Kitahara Kaede's current talent, with this directional guidance, he would have a good chance to figure out Raikiri or Chidori style on his own.

Most importantly, this provides Kitahara Kaede with a good reason, giving him a reasonable explanation if he draws a ninjutsu related to Chidori from the system in the future.

"In that case, please teach me, senior!"

Kitahara Kaede stopped being coy and spoke directly.

Kakashi Hatake nodded, and then directly taught Kitahara Kaede the relevant hand seals and some key points of Chidori.

This is something that even the Sharingan cannot replicate. The Sharingan can only replicate the state of someone who has just started learning this ninjutsu, but it cannot replicate the experience gained by the user over many years.

For example, Sasuke Uchiha copied Rock Lee's taijutsu moves through Kakashi Hatake, but he still needed a whole month to adapt and improve his physical abilities to reach the same speed and abilities as Rock Lee.

This is why Kakashi Hatake, despite claiming to have copied thousands of ninjutsu, still only uses a few commonly. The others are merely to expand his ninjutsu repertoire and adapt to more varied battle scenarios.

Kitahara Kaede didn't activate his Sharingan this time. He wanted to verify the extent of his current talent improvement and experience what it felt like to be a genius.

"Chou, Mao, Shen."

Following Kakashi Hatake's instructions, Kitahara Kaede completed the hand seals, and lightning-attribute chakra immediately appeared in his hands, instantly sounding like the chirping of thousands of birds.

"You succeeded on the first try?" Kakashi Hatake looked at Kaede Kitahara and said in shock.

However, he quickly calmed down and realized that it made sense. Kitahara Kaede was able to recreate the Rasengan of his teacher, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze. How could his talent and aptitude be lacking?

Or perhaps after awakening the Sharingan and the Uchiha bloodline, Kitahara Kaede's talent increased by more than one level.

Kitahara Kaede felt the boiling power of thunder in his palm. As he channeled his chakra into it, the sound of Chidori grew louder and the light became brighter.

When Chidori was first developed, it was touted as a technique for assassination. However, this ninjutsu was never actually used for assassination. After all, the sound is so loud that if the enemy wasn't dead, they would have been able to hear it.

Not to mention that Chidori's explosive attack ability is actually insufficient, requiring a long running start. For example, Sasuke did this in the Chunin Exams, where he had to run to the edge of the arena wall to run up. And it was only when he encountered Gaara, who stood still and curled up in a ball, that he could use it with ease.

Someone could be seen rushing towards you from a great distance, carrying a ball of lightning. Any enemy with a sound mind would know how to deal with that. That's why you need extremely strong reflexes and dynamic vision to avoid being outmaneuvered by the enemy.

Kakashi Hatake almost lost his first battle using Chidori. If it weren't for his teacher Minato Namikaze watching over him, he would have been severely injured in his very first fight.

In this situation, the two users of Chidori developed it in different directions. Kakashi Hatake further developed Chidori into Raikiri, as well as a slower version of Raikiri and Shiden after losing his Sharingan. Sasuke Uchiha, on the other hand, developed a series of Chidori-related ninjutsu, such as Chidori Stream, Sage Technique Chidori, Chidori Sharp Spear, Chidori Kirin, Chidori Shuriken, Armored Chidori, Chidori Blade, and a series of other Chidori-related ninjutsu.

Two geniuses, each with their own solution!

"I've taught myself the Rasengan, so I guess I have some experience," Kitahara Kaede said with a smile.

"In that case, practice on your own. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me again." Kakashi Hatake felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Kitahara Kaede holding Chidori and not caring about his energy expenditure at all.

He thought of what Kitahara Kaede had said about having six times his chakra reserves, and realized how frustrating it was to compare himself to others.

However, he didn't know that the six times his chakra amount that Kitahara Kaede mentioned was the old almanac. Now he already had eight times the chakra amount of an ordinary elite Jonin. In just half a month, he had increased his chakra amount by two times to that of Kakashi Hatake.

This means that he has reached a deeper level in developing the sage body of the Uzumaki clan, and it can almost be said that he has almost developed the sage body of the Uzumaki clan to its ultimate level.

The chakra level is gradually slowing down. According to Kitahara Kaede's estimate, it can only reach about ten times the amount of an elite Jonin. However, this is not the final limit. Even if he does not extract other bloodlines in the future, his chakra level will still increase significantly by relying solely on the Uchiha clan's bloodline and the Uzumaki clan's initial bloodline. After all, he is only five years old and has just entered the period of rapid physical growth.

He will have a long growth period in the next ten years. Although his physique will definitely not grow to be as amazing as Naruto's, it will certainly not be just as good as it is now.

Moreover, the super-fast recovery ability that comes with this physique is also at work, constantly replenishing the chakra that is being consumed by releasing Chidori within the body.
