Naruto: AFK System

Yoruha thought about it. His sensory abilities had indeed become extraordinarily strong.

However, he was already so accustomed to them that he didn't consider it a particularly special skill.

"Relying on sensory abilities for combat feels a bit unfamiliar," he admitted.

Although Yoruha's sensory capabilities were powerful, he had never truly relied on them as his primary means of fighting.

The only exception was when he used Chidori, where sensory abilities served as a supplementary tool.

Moreover, after mastering techniques like "Chidori Sharp Spear" and "Chidori Senbon," Chidori itself had become less of a primary offensive technique for him.

After all, Chidori required close combat, which wasn't efficient and left openings for counterattacks.

Kakashi said, "Then practice. Your sensory abilities are exceptional, and it would be a waste not to make full use of them."

Thinking about the possibility of facing Mangekyo Sharingan, or even the Rinnegan in the future, Yoruha decided it was worth training.

After all, the Sharingan was one of the most significant kekkei genkai in this world.

The Fourth Great Ninja War was essentially started by a few individuals wielding the Sharingan, the Rinnegan, and the Rinne Sharingan.

Since Yoruha didn't possess a Sharingan, it was impossible for him to take the path of eye-based power.

The path available to him was similar to Naruto's—relying on immense chakra reserves and ninjutsu to face the challenges of the Fourth Great Ninja War.

Even though he didn't have the power of the Six Paths, Yoruha believed that when the Fourth Great Ninja War came, he wouldn't necessarily be weaker than Naruto.

He trusted the system's abilities.

Yoruha nodded and said, "I will, Kakashi-sensei. Please keep teaching me more elemental ninjutsu."

Seeing that Yoruha had taken his advice seriously, Kakashi was pleased.

That was one thing Yoruha excelled at—he didn't have Naruto's impulsiveness or Sasuke's stubbornness.

Yoruha's personality was very grounded, with none of the quirks or unusual ideas that made things complicated.

The two of them trained by the lake for several hours, only stopping when night fell.

In those few hours, Kakashi had nearly exhausted all of his chakra.

Some of the ninjutsu required him to demonstrate for Yoruha.

But Yoruha learned incredibly quickly. For each technique, Kakashi needed only to explain the theory and demonstrate it once—then Yoruha would master it.

In just a few hours, Yoruha had learned over ten A-rank and B-rank elemental ninjutsu.

Fortunately, not every technique required Kakashi to demonstrate.

Otherwise, even if Kakashi drained himself completely, it would have been impossible for him to provide enough chakra to perform over ten A-rank and B-rank ninjutsu within such a short time.

While Kakashi's chakra was nearly depleted, Yoruha hadn't even used up a third of his.

On the way back, Kakashi glanced at Yoruha, who showed no signs of fatigue, and couldn't help but feel exasperated. "Are you not tired at all?"

Yoruha chuckled. "Not at all."

"But you just performed over ten A-rank and B-rank ninjutsu. That must have consumed a lot of chakra, right?" Kakashi guessed.

Yoruha shook his head. "Not really. I didn't use up much chakra, and it replenishes pretty quickly."

This was one of Yoruha's strengths—his rapid chakra recovery.

His chakra wasn't just drawn from within his own body; it was also replenished by absorbing natural energy from his surroundings.

Although natural energy wasn't infinite, it easily provided Yoruha with enough chakra to sustain Kage-level usage without any strain.

It was clear...

After the Fourth Great Ninja War, Naruto could extract natural energy sufficient to counter Sasuke, who had drawn chakra from eight Tailed Beasts.

Compared to that, Yoruha's chakra reserves were practically insignificant.

Moreover, natural energy was a renewable resource.

As long as the energy of this planet wasn't completely depleted, natural energy would continue to regenerate endlessly.

The reason Yoruha's chakra was at the Kage level wasn't that he could only absorb that much; it was because his body could currently only handle that amount of chakra.

Any more, and his body wouldn't be able to withstand it.

After all, Yoruha didn't initially have a special physique. It was only after obtaining the system that his body began to gradually strengthen.

Now, his chakra reserves were already comparable to Naruto's, which was impressive enough.

However, due to the nature of his chakra being derived from natural energy, Yoruha consumed far less chakra for the same jutsu compared to ordinary ninja.

Kakashi, unaware of Yoruha's unique ability, was intrigued. "Your chakra replenishes that quickly?"

"Yeah. Earlier, when I used three Lightning-Style jutsu, my chakra was nearly depleted, but it recovered before long," Yoruha explained.

Kakashi was skeptical and immediately activated his Sharingan. To his surprise, he saw that Yoruha's chakra had already recovered to 80%.

Kakashi's expression twitched. "You just performed over ten large-scale jutsu, and your chakra barely looks used up?"

Yoruha smiled. "I don't know why, but my chakra recovers really fast."

Kakashi shook his head in exasperation. "It's infuriating to compare myself to you. Not only do you have more chakra than me, but your recovery rate is faster. And your jutsu are stronger than mine. Who's the teacher here, anyway?"

Yoruha looked at Kakashi and said seriously, "If students can't surpass their teacher in the end, what's the point of being a student?"

Kakashi paused for a moment, staring at Yoruha's earnest expression.

Then he smiled knowingly. "You're right. If my students can't surpass me, then I've failed as a teacher."

"But not everyone can surpass me," Kakashi added, a hint of pride in his tone.

It wasn't arrogance—Kakashi was naturally a genius. Had he not gone through a period of stagnation, his strength would have been even greater than it was now.

Of course, no matter how much stronger he became, the limit was still the Kage level.

And how many Kage-level shinobi were there in the ninja world?

Forget Kage-level—most ninja couldn't even reach the rank of Elite Jonin in their lifetime.

For the vast majority of ninja, reaching Chunin was already the pinnacle of their career.

But Yoruha was different.

In Kakashi's eyes, Yoruha's talent far surpassed his own.

Kakashi even believed that Yoruha's only shortcoming was a lack of combat experience.

Once he gained more real-world experience, his strength would undoubtedly surpass Kakashi's.

Still, Kakashi felt nothing but pride.

Yoruha understood that Kakashi wasn't being arrogant and nodded. "Of course. Kakashi-sensei, your strength is truly remarkable."

"There are very few ninja in the world who could reach your level of power."

Yoruha added a small compliment.

Kakashi wasn't someone who cared about flattery, but hearing it from his own student made it all the more meaningful.

"Let's go check on Naruto and Sasuke's training progress," Kakashi suggested.

Yoruha chuckled. "Those two have incredible potential. Both have immense power within them."

Kakashi nodded in agreement. "That's true. While Sakura is far superior in chakra control, her chakra reserves are relatively limited. Naruto and Sasuke, on the other hand, have vast stores of chakra."

"As long as they can learn to harness their chakra properly, their strength will grow rapidly."

Kakashi already knew how to guide the two of them.

Unfortunately, in the end, one would follow Jiraiya, and the other, Orochimaru.
