Naruto: I wrote in my diary that I exposed the Otsutsuki's arrival.

Chapter 60: 3-Tomoe Copy Eye, Free Ninjutsu

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Naruto Uzumaki is the protagonist, and his initial stats already have a hundred times more chakra than Kakashi's. Although this is partly because Kakashi's chakra is constantly being passively absorbed by the Sharingan and cannot reach its maximum, this amount of chakra is still just too outrageous.

At first, Kakashi's passive recovery ability shocked people, and it was even difficult to say whether it came from Kurama or his own physique.

"At this rate of growth, he definitely won't be able to surpass Naruto, but he should be able to naturally increase his chakra level to Kage level within a month," Kitahara Kaede calculated.

After all, it's about fusing bloodlines, not directly gaining power. It's about modifying his body, not directly granting him this power. It's a completely different matter from the Flying Thunder God skill he drew before.

In the early stages of Naruto Shippuden, the strength of a Kage was absolutely at the ceiling. If he could learn some powerful ninjutsu or draw some powerful ninjutsu, he would be a true Kage-level powerhouse, more than capable of self-destruction.

Soon, Kitahara Kaede discovered that his biggest gain, besides his chakra doubling overnight, was that his Sharingan had evolved from the original two-tomoe hypnotic eye to the three-tomoe clone eye.

"This is great! If we use it to learn ninjutsu, the speed will be much faster."

Kitahara Kaede was overjoyed. Hatake Kakashi was known as a man who had copied thousands of ninjutsu, which showed just how useful the Copy Eye was.

With these three-tomoe Sharingan eyes, plus the newly fused Uzumaki clan's rudimentary Sage Body, as long as he learns enough ninjutsu, his combat power will be enough to break through to the Kage level in a short time.

By then, he will be able to handle both the Konoha Crush plan and Danzo's pursuit of him with ease.

If we can just hold on for a while longer and try our luck a few more times, everything will be alright.

"You dog Danzo, just wait until I cut off your head!" Kitahara Kaede clenched her fists and said.

Danzo had put a lot of pressure on him before, but now he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

With his astonishing chakra reserves and physical prowess, he believed his combat strength far surpassed that of ordinary elite Jonin. Unless Danzo himself came to hunt him down, he wouldn't take any other Root ninja seriously.

Danzo is the only Kage-level ninja in Root. You can tell how good Danzo is by looking at his fight against Sasuke Uchiha. He's probably only a gatekeeper among Kage-level ninjas. If it weren't for his Sharingan and Hashirama cells, he would be quite old at his age and would normally only be an elite Jonin.

Even someone as strong as the Third Hokage, who was considered one of the best among the Kage-level fighters at his peak, has degenerated into a Kage-level gatekeeper at this age. In a few more years, he will definitely fall below the Kage-level threshold.

Being a ninja is such a profession.

Kitahara Kaede went downstairs for a meal, then put on his black contact lenses and went out. He was going to use his Sharingan to copy some ninjutsu. At present, ninjutsu was his biggest weakness. Apart from the Flying Thunder God Technique, he only knew a few C-rank wind ninjutsu, which was equivalent to the level of an ordinary Chunin.

The reason I was able to kill a special Jonin before was purely due to the overwhelming advantage in basic skills.

He planned to visit various training grounds to see if any ninjas were practicing ninjutsu or taijutsu. Even some C-rank ninjutsu would be a great find for him.

Although it's immoral to do this, can you call it stealing when it's something a ninja does?

Because they had just completed a mission and there were no new missions coming up for a while, in peacetime, the number of ninjas in various countries exceeded the demand, which led to many ninjas who made a living by missions also struggling to make ends meet.

The reason why Sunagakure and Konoha turned against each other was because many missions from the Land of Wind were assigned to Konoha, which meant that their ninjas had no way to take on missions. With fewer resources and less money, they could train fewer ninjas, creating a vicious cycle that continued generation after generation. It was better to take a gamble.

They even take on jobs like scavenging garbage. On the surface, it's supposed to be to train the genin, but that's only one of the purposes. In reality, it's all about exploiting the genin's labor. Most genin barely make ends meet with the money they get from missions.

Cattle and horses are the same in any world.

Even now, Chunin Kitahara Kaede is still essentially a Ushima, but he has taken it a step further and is now a high-level Ushima.

Unless one can be promoted to Jonin, which would be considered a preliminary step away from the ranks of the common people, it would be like being a partner in a law firm in one's previous life. Even the Hokage had to go through a process where the Jonin team members voted to decide the position, so it was not insignificant.

The next level up are the vice-ministers and ministers of various departments in Konoha. These are considered the core high-ranking members of Konoha and can no longer be considered lowly. For example, Danzo's previous position in Konoha was the head of the Anbu.

Kitahara Kaede found a training ground. Although it was early in the morning, there were already quite a few ninjas practicing. The equipment in public training grounds was very basic, unlike those in private ones. High-end training grounds had much more equipment, such as moving targets for practicing shuriken throwing, and the ability to practice hitting human-shaped targets with Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, as well as various simulated environments, etc.

Kitahara Kaede glanced around and saw that in the entire training ground, only some genin were practicing taijutsu and throwing techniques, which were all insignificant and not even as good as Kitahara Kaede's taijutsu level.

However, two of the Chunin were of interest to Kitahara Kaede; one of them was practicing Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique.

The Chunin didn't really take precautions. After all, the secrets of ninjutsu can't be learned just by watching someone form hand seals. It requires a teacher to carefully teach various profound techniques. Do you think you have the Sharingan?

Even the Sharingan must be evolved to the highest level of three tomoe to be able to create a copy eye.

Now that the Uchiha clan has been wiped out in Konoha, who would be able to learn it just by glancing at it twice?

However, he probably didn't expect that there was also an unofficial Uchiha present who secretly activated the Three-Tomoe Copy Eye under the colored contact lenses, and directly took the Phoenix Flower Technique into his possession.

The Phoenix Fire Technique, is it? Very well, it's mine now.

Kitahara Kaede was copying a ninjutsu for the first time, so he immediately left and found a secluded place to test it out.

"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique".

In an instant, multiple fireballs were sprayed from Kitahara Kaede's mouth, causing the water mist from the nearby river to rise into the air.

Both its proficiency and power far surpassed that of the Chunin from before.

Having successfully obtained a free ninjutsu for the first time, Kitahara Kaede couldn't help but show a hint of joy on his face.
