But the Byakugan is different; its real power in combat is less significant than its strategic value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensory-type ninja are in high demand in any village; having sensory abilities allows one to learn sensory jutsu. The Byakugan goes beyond sensing—it grants wide-area x-ray vision, essentially giving you a wallhack during battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could bring the Byakugan back to the village, even just one eye, Berkeley wouldn't have to worry about the rest of his life. That would be far more valuable than killing an enemy jōnin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you think you can, go ahead and try.\" Obito said provocatively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As you wish.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning burst from Berkeley's leg, and he shot toward Obito at extreme speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before awakening the Sharingan, Obito couldn't see Berkeley using Lightning Body Flicker at all; he could only vaguely make out a silhouette within the lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he activated his two-tomoe Sharingan, Obito could clearly see Berkeley rushing toward him, even the dust clinging to Berkeley's body was perfectly visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So this is the power of the Sharingan. No wonder Shisui beat Kakashi so easily after using it. If it's like this now, I can definitely defeat Kakashi one hundred percent.\" Obito couldn't help thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Obito didn't let his guard down just because he'd awakened the Sharingan; after all, he had defeated Hyūga Kōmon, who had the Byakugan, even before unlocking it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, just because you can see something doesn't mean you can block or dodge it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kakashi, today I'll show you what real Breathing Techniques are!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Kakashi blocked a sword and got injured for him, Obito felt his breathing become more focused than ever before. His heart blazed, and he wanted to avenge Kakashi, to defeat the enemy before him with flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Flame Breathing, Total Concentration Breathing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito locked on with his two-tomoe Sharingan, inhaling a massive amount of oxygen to enhance his physical abilities and accelerate his nature transformation speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Berkeley appeared in front of Obito and swiftly swung his blade down toward Obito's chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But something unexpected happened: Obito easily sidestepped and counterattacked with his kunai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Berkeley adjusted his move in an instant and deflected the incoming kunai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang! Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two exchanged a rapid series of strikes. Although Obito's kunai technique wasn't particularly exceptional, with the dynamic visual acuity of the Sharingan backing him up, he successfully held off Berkeley's attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As expected from the Uchiha clan's Sharingan—your strength jumped this much in an instant.\" Berkeley was somewhat shocked by the growth in Obito's power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leaf Strong Whirlwind!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he was already exposed, Might Guy decided to go all out, shouting as he delivered a heavy kick toward Berkeley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Berkeley was in a tough spot. Facing either Might Guy or Obito alone, he could handle it easily, but dealing with both at the same time was a problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Might Guy was fast, powerful, and quick in his movements; Obito had keen insight and could read his moves, plus he had mastered a Fire Release that required no hand seals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, his own condition was gradually declining. Berkeley didn't have much chakra to begin with—in fact, it was somewhat low compared to his combat ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Berkeley wanted to take down Might Guy first, but Obito could see through his moves and would call out warnings to Guy every time, while harassing Berkeley with attacks, rendering his assaults ineffective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trying to take down Obito first was even harder. The Sharingan's powerful insight made ambushes difficult, and Might Guy's support came quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Berkeley would rather face two Obitos or two Might Guys than a combination of one Obito and one Might Guy. One had sharp perception, the other was strong in direct combat, and together they created a qualitative leap in effectiveness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi, watching from the sidelines, was also amazed by the combined strength of the two. This wasn't just some random nobody—this was a jōnin leading an important mission!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what were Obito and Might Guy? They weren't even full-fledged ninja yet—just lowly apprentice ninja, not even graduated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They've completely surpassed me… They're the real geniuses…\" Kakashi thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to him, who had graduated early, Might Guy and Obito now better fit the definition of genius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, when he and Obito teamed up, Berkeley beat them so badly they could barely fight back. But now, with Might Guy and Obito—now with the Sharingan awakened—working together, they could suppress Berkeley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shock Thunder Sword!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing trouble, Berkeley decided to go all out, generously pouring chakra into various ninja body techniques, launching a frantic counterattack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strength of a desperate jonin is terrifying; Obito and Might Guy both sustained some injuries, but they were minor wounds that didn't affect them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Crimson Claw!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking advantage of Berkeley's just-launched fierce counterattack, Obito quickly threw four flaming shuriken towards Berkeley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blazing shuriken were extremely fast; Berkeley had no choice but to use Lightning Body Flicker to dodge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right side!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Might Guy, who had been ready to strike, instantly charged forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Noon Panther!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Might Guy used all the power he had absorbed to strengthen his body, pouring all the chakra from the Eight Gates into his leg. He used every ounce of remaining strength to deliver this ultimate final kick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Total Concentration Breathing was originally a burst technique, and even more so when forcibly opening the Second Gate. Having fought fiercely for so long, Might Guy had nearly reached his limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moving at extreme speed, Might Guy seemed to truly transform into a powerfully explosive panther. After running to the right distance, he lunged forward fiercely, his leg becoming the panther's sharp fangs, tearing apart anyone it touched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the coordinated attack of the two, Berkeley had no time to dodge; he could only consume a large amount of chakra to strengthen his body, hoping to withstand this blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A loud collision sound rang out, and Berkeley was sent flying backwards. The ground where he stood cracked from Might Guy's immense strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a fired cannonball, Berkeley continuously knocked down over a dozen large trees before stopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After delivering this kick, Might Guy could no longer hold on. It was his limit just to support himself with his hands on the ground to keep from falling, as hot sweat dripped from his forehead onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Guy, are you alright?\" Obito quickly helped Might Guy to sit against a tree and asked with concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suppressing the pain in his body, Might Guy revealed a bright smile and gave a thumbs up, saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A beast that has successfully hunted is of course fine. Better keep an eye on the enemy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Might Guy knew the importance of finishing off the enemy. Currently, he no longer had the strength to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito nodded. While supporting Might Guy, he was also watching Berkeley out of the corner of his eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"D-damn it... Am I going to be defeated by a few brats?\" Berkeley's body trembled with extreme unwillingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been a ninja for twenty-four years. He became a ninja at age nine serving Kumogakure, became a jonin at twenty-three, and to this day he had lost count of how many A-rank missions he had done, and even some S-rank missions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had thought that one day he might die at the hands of some strong enemy; that was normal for a ninja, because war was cruel, and even a Kage was not one hundred percent safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he never expected to fall into the hands of three kids under ten years old; the combined age of the three of them was still less than his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unwilling to accept defeat, Berkeley tried to stand up. He still had a little chakra left; he could still fight. At the very least, he wanted to kill one of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first time he tried to stand, he failed. The second time, he almost got up but fell again. Only on the third try did Berkeley manage to stand up shakily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito silently pulled out several shuriken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Obito was about to finish Berkeley with his ninja tools, Kakashi moved. Kakashi also stood up, gripping the White Fang short blade tightly, with no more confusion in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Follow your own ninja way, firm your own conviction...\" Muyue's words kept ringing in Kakashi's ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi still didn't know what kind of ninja could always be praised by everyone, nor did he know whether the village prioritized missions or comrades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now Kakashi understood one thing: for him, Kakashi, comrades were more important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Kakashi had to sacrifice Might Guy and Obito for a mission, Kakashi would rather not do the mission. Let them criticize him if they wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even at such a critical moment, Obito and Might Guy had never thought of abandoning him. Even when he was injured and couldn't move, they did everything to kill the enemy and protect his safety. Even when Kakashi actively requested it, the two never abandoned him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They never gave up. They didn't give up on themselves, nor did they give up on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Might Guy, who nearly fell after delivering the final kick, Kakashi's eyes couldn't help but grow a bit misty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His teammates were fighting with all their might, while he could only be a burden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hatake Kakashi, what have you been doing? What have you done these past two years?\" Kakashi kept questioning himself in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was once the greatest prodigy—graduating at five and becoming a chunin at six—but now he could only watch Obito and Might Guy fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been too idle these past two years, so idle that now, looking back, Kakashi was filled with regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of Might Guy's expectations for him, Kakashi felt he didn't deserve it. How brilliant Might Guy was now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do I really have to keep on like this?\" Kakashi asked himself in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi answered the question in his heart with his body. His breathing became more focused than ever before. The numb leg seemed to regain sensation. He slowly stood up and gripped his White Fang Short Blade tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't want to be the Hatake Kakashi who spent his days in a daze, doing nothing, immersed in the past. He wanted to become the Hatake Kakashi who cherished his comrades and bore the title of prodigy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi closed his eyes slightly. His mind was filled with memories of Muyue teaching him Lightning Breathing. At that moment, all those scattered memories connected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only Muyue, but also the images of his father teaching him swordsmanship before his death kept appearing. Eventually, the two merged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lightning Breathing: Thunderclap and Flash!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With rapid, focused breathing, Kakashi felt a power he had never felt before. Then, chakra erupted from his hands and feet, and dazzling lightning sparks appeared on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi poured most of his power into his uninjured right leg and instantly turned into a streak of lightning, disappearing from his spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm going to...\" Berkeley had just steadied himself when he immediately saw a dazzling lightning bolt charging toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to resist, but his condition was worse than ever. His chest was already caved in, and he had little chakra left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, Berkeley lost consciousness forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lightning vanished, and Kakashi appeared behind Berkeley. The White Fang Short Blade in his hand gleamed white under the sunlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Berkeley's body was cut in two and fell to the ground, blood spurting from inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi let out a breath. What he had cut was not only the enemy's body, but also the nightmare that had haunted him for the past two years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kakashi, have you learned Lightning Breathing?\" Obito asked in surprise, seeing Kakashi suddenly increase his speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, as expected of my best friend. I look forward to our next fight!\" Might Guy congratulated Kakashi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi nodded calmly and said, \"Then you'd better be careful. A prodigy like me improves quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The prodigy Kakashi had returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This chapter is 3.6. The three chapters together are exactly 10k.\u003C\u002Fp>",2132,"2026-05-29T09:09:00.200Z","2026-06-01T04:29:23.431Z",1,"deepseek-v4-flash","7dc9895c1e9af2a17d96888640c17cad6cd946f685731716eaa87eaaab9066f5","the-ninja-academy-teacher-teaching-makes-me-stro-chapter-217","the-ninja-academy-teacher-teaching-makes-me-stro-chapter-215",769,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-ninja-academy-teacher-teaching-makes-me-stro-cover.jpg"]
