Chapter 5: It's Embarrassing to be Bested by Your Junior
Looking at the Shinobi in black who was desperately trying to escape, Nagasawa did not pursue them. Instead, he raised his right arm and used Tremor-Tremor Fruit's ability.
Space Quake!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Under the effect of Tremor-Tremor Fruit's ability, a crack that looked like a broken mirror instantly appeared in the air.
Rumble!!!
Boom! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The huge shockwave generated a strong gust of wind. The strong wind blew up a large number of trees and overturned the soil.
The escaping Shinobi in black was completely shocked by this scene.
He couldn't fathom how the wind from a punch could be that powerful.
"Is this really the power of a Shinobi? Can a Shinobi's Taijutsu be this powerful?"
Seeing that there was no hope of escaping, the Shinobi in black resigned to his fate as he muttered to himself while his body was torn apart by the strong wind.
Looking at the mess in front of him, Nagasawa was also shocked by his own destructive power. Fortunately, it was outside the village. If it were inside the village, he would lose quite a lot of lifespan.
Like using a cannon to kill mosquitoes, Nagasawa ended up destroying half of the forest to kill a Special Jonin.
However, Nagasawa felt that it was worth it as he saw the shocked Kakashi.
Kakashi was his subordinate and a genius who was promoted to Jonin at the age of twelve.
The two of them participated in the Chunin exam at the same time, with Kakashi passing and Nagasawa failing.
Although Nagasawa could directly catch up with Body Flicker Technique and kill him, he deliberately used Tremor-Tremor Fruit's strength to showcase his power.
Moreover, seeing the cool young Kakashi's shocked look despite being depressed just now amused Nagasawa.
Kakashi's eyes widened, and he did not care about the dust on his body. He stood up and looked at Nagasawa in surprise. He could not help but feel a little ashamed, considering his attitude toward Nagasawa so far.
"Fu... Fujiwara-senpai, y-you..."
Embarrassment, shock, shame, curiosity, etc., made it hard for Kakashi to articulate. He even stuttered a little.
Nagasawa calmly said, "Why are you so surprised? It's just the strength of an ordinary Chunin. Compared to Konoha's Genin, it's not that great."
Later on, Konoha's Genin's fight would cause massive destruction, and in comparison, his strength was indeed no big deal.
"Ordinary Chunin..." Kakashi was speechless.
Ordinary Chunin? Which Chunin could destroy a small part of the forest with a single punch? Did Nagasawa just make fun of him?
"Kakashi." Nagasawa's voice suddenly became serious.
"Although what happened to you is really tragic, since you accepted the mission, you must take it seriously. After all, you're a Shinobi. You're free to commit suicide for all I care, but getting your teammates killed and even failing the mission is unforgivable."
Hearing Nagasawa's words, Kakashi felt so ashamed that he could not even lift his face.
First, he was followed by Guy, and then he was so cocky and did not take Nagasawa's warning seriously. Finally, he was injured because he was distracted during the battle.
It couldn't get any worse. If Nagasawa really were an ordinary Chunin, they both would be corpses by now.
"Fujiwara-san, I'm sorry." Kakashi bowed his head and apologized to Nagasawa.
"Louder, your voice is so small, and you call yourself a Shinobi?"
"I'm sorry!" Kakashi shouted.
Nagasawa nodded with satisfaction and said, "Do you know how good Minato has been to you and how high his expectations are for you?"
"I shouldn't have said this, but you really disappoint me.The reason why Minato asked me to do the mission with you is that you will soon join the new Anbu and become my subordinate."
Kakashi was silent. He could clearly feel Minato's expectations for him.
It must have been difficult for Minato-sensei to ask a secretly capable Shinobi like Nagasawa-senpai to take him, but now that he failed to live up to this expectation, would Nagasawa-senpai still take him?
"Although you're doing poorly, out of my respect for White Fang and Minato, I have decided to give you another chance." Nagasawa changed his tone.
"If you can learn a Taijutsu that I decide within a week, I will take you in. If you don't, you won't be any use to me."
After that, Nagasawa threw a scroll to Kakashi.
It contained the training method of one of the Six Powers, Soru.
With Whitebeard's physical prowess as a base, coupled with his knowledge about the principle of the Six Powers, he quickly created a relatively simple one among the Six Powers and implemented Chakra into it.
For example, when using Soru, he could use the Chakra on his feet to reduce the toll on his body and boost speed.
He planned to teach the Six Powers to the new Anbu. If all new Anbus could later use the Six Powers, their combat strength would increase significantly.
When Anbu's strength increased, Konoha's prosperity would rise, and he could also become stronger.
"Taijutsu..." Kakashi took the scroll and curiously opened it. He found that it was different from the Taijutsu he had learned before.
If the Taijutsu he had learned so far mainly relied on Chakra, the Taijutsu on the scroll seemed to rely a lot on physical training.
Putting the scroll away, Kakashi said seriously, "I will do it."
At this moment, he also realized that he couldn't bring back the deceased. Rather than dwelling on the dead, he should cherish the living more. He could not afford to disappoint Minato Sensei!
Looking at Kakashi, who seemed to be ignited with fighting spirit, Nagasawa secretly nodded.
This was the real purpose.
He did not want to bring along the Kakashi, who was always "Rin, ah, my Rin, I am sorry".
Anyway, this was something he had to do sooner or later, so it was better to use it as a test for Kakashi.
Even if Kakashi could not master it, he still had another way.
The system's Points had many ranges of use. Not only could it increase the fusion rate of the character template, but it could also enhance the various abilities. In other words, it could also be used on others, but only for Konoha's residents.
However, if Kakashi could not learn it, he would be a little disappointed. After all, Kakashi became Jonin at the age of twelve. Nagasawa had a lot of expectations for him.
Moreover, Soru was the simplest of the Six Powers.
"What about them?" Kakashi pointed to the three fainted Shinobis because of Nagasawa's Color of Supreme King Haki.
Because of Nagasawa's display of strength and Minato's arrangement, Kakashi had already changed his attitude, and he now acknowledged Nagasawa as the leader.
Nagasawa lightly said: "Take them back and hand them over to Konoha Torture and Interrogation Force. They will pay for trying to kill Konoha's Shinobis."
Although Konoha suffered heavy losses in the war, it was still the Biggest Shinobi Country.
If they found out who was responsible for this, unless they were up against the fellow Five Great Shinobi Countries, sending a team of Jonin to assassinate them would be enough.
