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

Chapter 62 Kakashi: Without Kage level, he can't even speak.

Those were Kage-level powerhouses, supreme beings standing at the pinnacle of the entire ninja world.

And what about his actual strength?

What's the use of being number one in your grade? That kind of empty title is useless in the ninja world. In the ninja world, he's just a newbie who has just become a genin. He's not even a chunin yet. Above chunin are elite chunin, special jonin, jonin, elite jonin, and finally, Kage.

However, he was now completely helpless. After the Uchiha clan was wiped out, the house and the surrounding area looked the same, but in reality, they had been thoroughly searched by the Root and Anbu.

All kinds of cultivation resources are gone.

The two or three fire techniques he knows now were taught to him by his father when he was still alive. Their power is not very strong to begin with, plus the Three Body Techniques and such taught at school.

Such a scale of ninjutsu is quite impressive for an ordinary genin, and it's comparable to that of a typical chunin.

However, if the opponent is a Kage-level powerhouse, then it's no joke.

Whether or not you have family support makes a world of difference.

At his age, Itachi Uchiha would have already become a squad leader in the Anbu, and his strength and status were incomparable to what it is now.

While talent played a part, the lack of family resources was Sasuke Uchiha's biggest problem at this time.

The only good news is that Uchiha Sasuke's teacher, Hatake Kakashi, is willing to teach him some combat techniques.

This surprised him greatly. In the past, Kakashi Hatake was quite lazy and would dismiss them after completing their missions. But today, he unusually kept them behind and taught them how to climb trees and wade through water.

These were skills he should have mastered long ago, but because his clan was gone, he, like most commoner ninjas, was only taught by his instructor after graduation.

This wasn't just about climbing trees and wading; it also involved some chakra control techniques, and to his surprise, Sakura had mastered them even better than he had.

In his heart, Sakura was actually less noticeable than Naruto. Although Sakura liked him a lot and often hung around him, there were plenty of people like that in school, so she wasn't anything special.

On the contrary, Naruto, being such a loser, is quite unique.

Furthermore, Kitahara Kaede mentioned in his diary that Uzumaki Naruto would become one of the pinnacles of the ninja world in the future, which made him even more determined. He couldn't lose to anyone but Uzumaki Naruto. If such a loser could become the pinnacle of the ninja world in the future, how could he be worse than him?

Suddenly, he sensed the message from the updated diary, and quickly ran into the house to take out a copy of the diary from a hidden compartment to check it.

"drink!"

On the Hatake clan's training ground, Hatake Kakashi moved like a ghost, wielding a short sword and unleashing a series of fierce attacks, his chakra blades cleaving through everything in his path.

After a short while, Kakashi Hatake finally stopped, by which time he was covered in sweat.

He looked at the short sword in his hand, panting heavily. It had been many years since he had used the Hatake family's swordsmanship.

I even feel a bit rusty and powerless!

In fact, this is the foundation upon which the Hatake family stands. The Hatake clan traces its lineage back to a samurai family, not a traditional ninja family. It was only because the ancestors of the Hatake clan saw the potential of ninjas that they transformed into a ninja family.

The swordsmanship of the Hatake clan was gradually improved from the swordsmanship of samurai. His father, Hatake Sakumo, was a genius who actually broke through to the Kage level with the swordsmanship of the Hatake family, and was very strong among the Kage level.

Kakashi Hatake's best path should have been to follow in the footsteps of his father, Susumu Hatake, and fully utilize the Hatake clan's swordsmanship, a skill he certainly possessed.

However, that incident happened when he was young. In order to fulfill his best friend's last wish and see the world through his eyes, Kakashi Hatake went astray and embarked on a route that customized tactics around the Sharingan. Coincidentally, he also developed Chidori, a ninjutsu that focuses on thrusting, which can be said to be a perfect match with the Sharingan.

It can be said that everything led him down the path of a thrusting ninja.

However, because he earned the title of "Copy Ninja Kakashi" with his Sharingan, he also lost the possibility of advancing to the Kage level.

He used to not care, after all, even if he wasn't a Kage-level expert, he was still a top-tier expert below the Kage level.

But now he doesn't care anymore. What level of monsters appeared later? He could see from Kitahara Kaede's diary that several Kage-level masters had appeared. He himself had been defeated twice.

Even Sasuke later reached the Kage level, which means that in the future, it is very likely that without Kage-level strength, one will not even have the authority to speak.

Not to mention the future crisis of Konoha's destruction, the leader of the Akatsuki organization, whose figure completely destroyed the entire Konoha with a single blow that he still can't forget.

If I were to face my opponent with my own strength, I probably wouldn't even be able to withstand a single move.

Whether it's to gain a voice in Konoha in the future or to prepare for a possible future catastrophe, he must strengthen himself.

He must break through to the Shadow level!

So, after a long absence, he picked up his father's notebook again. It clearly explained how to break through to the Kage level. The handwriting was even hasty, as if it was written in haste before his suicide, obviously intended for Kakashi Hatake.

However, Kakashi Hatake's suicide became a permanent pain in his heart, and he didn't even want to look at the notebook again.

Looking at it again now evokes a different feeling.

"Power, you must master the power of the sword to achieve a magnificent transformation, from swordsmanship to the level of sword power. You must cultivate your invincible belief." Kakashi Hatake recalled the records in his father's notebook, which were quite detailed, as if afraid that the young Kakashi Hatake at the time would not understand them.

Kakashi Hatake is a super genius, but his life was delayed by the deaths of Obito Uchiha, Rin, his master, and his mistress. Now that he has picked up the Hatake swordsmanship again, he can master many things with just one glance.

Moreover, he discovered that the Hatake sword technique was the most suitable path for him, because his chakra reserves had been weakened by the Sharingan to the point where they were only about the same as those of an ordinary elite Jonin, and chakra depletion became a constant source of pain for him.

However, the Hatake Blade Technique consumes far less chakra than the Lightning Blade Technique. If you use the Hatake Blade Technique against an enemy, your chakra will be greatly increased.
