Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

"Let's join you guys!" Inuzuka Kiba climbed down from the treetop and asked Shikamaru.

"Well, I don't really care." Shikamaru looked toward Sakura, as she was the big sister here.

Sakura naturally agreed.

After all, the more the merrier.

"Friendship, huh?"

Hiding in the woods, Kakashi watched the eight of them playing around, and recalled his own past, which left him stunned, "Am I getting old?"

With that thought, Kakashi stepped out of the woods and greeted everyone, "Yo, nice to see you all again, guys."

"You are—"

Naruto pointed excitedly at Kakashi, "Who are you?"

"Huh?" Kakashi almost stumbled, speechless, "Have I not told you my name yet? I'm Kakashi, a Jounin of Konoha."

"A Jounin!" exclaimed Inuzuka Kiba and the others in awe.

"Well, don't get too excited. If you work hard, you can become Jounin too, and maybe even Hokage someday." Kakashi felt he should encourage the six-year-olds.

"Of course, the position of Hokage is reserved for me!" Naruto declared confidently, thumbing his chin.

"Aren't you the man who wants to become Hokage?" Shikamaru asked.

"Huh? Is there a difference?" Naruto asked, puzzled.

Standing in front of them, Kakashi silently watched Shikamaru, thinking to himself, "Shikaku Nara's kid? Isn't he a bit too precocious?"

With a slight shake of his head, Kakashi looked at them a few people and smiled, "Seeing how hard you all work, I guess I'll reluctantly give you some pointers."

For some reason, when with these people, Kakashi felt an urge to get closer to them.

Maybe it was because they reminded him of his past.

"What? You're going to mentor us?" Naruto was stunned at first, then pinched his cheeks, felt the pain, and got excited, "A Jounin is going to mentor us!"

"Don't get too excited, I won't teach you Ninjutsu yet. You have to wait until you become official Ninjas, and then you can learn from a Jounin." Kakashi gave them a precautionary warning, "However, teaching you how to better control your Chakra is still possible."

"That's still pretty good." Naruto said.

"Then, thank you, Teacher Kakashi." Sakura expressed her gratitude to Kakashi, "After all, this way, she also has more time for meditation training."

"You're Haruno Sakura, right? Quite a gifted child. I guess by the time you graduate from the Ninja Academy, you'll already be about as tall as an adult." Kakashi marveled at Sakura's physical gifts, which far exceeded the normal human growth pattern.

However, it wasn't unheard of in Konoha to have six-year-olds as tall as Sakura.

With so many people in the world, there are always some exceptions.

"Since Teacher Kakashi is going to mentor us, why don't we form a team?" suggested Naruto.

"That's a great idea, but what should we call our team?" Ino wondered.

Naruto laughed and said, "I've already thought of it. Sakura likes wearing red clothes, so our team will be called 'Red'!"

Sakura was stunned by the name; it sounded eerily familiar.

Wasn't that the excuse she used when she transformed into Kakashi to trick Uchiha Itachi?

She hadn't expected it to become a reality.

"It must be a coincidence," Sakura thought to herself, while deep within the space of her heart, Sun Wukong wore a meaningful smile.

"Red, huh?" Kakashi didn't think much of it, "It complements the will of fire well."

Hmm?

As he said that, even Kakashi was taken aback; he felt as if he had said something similar to someone else before?

"Organization Red!"

From the distant woods, Uchiha Itachi clenched his fist tightly. He hadn't heard the conversation between Kakashi and the others, but Naruto's loudly spoken "Red" was very clear.

"Kakashi! As expected! He is a member of Organization Red!"

"To target children, brainwashing them is utterly despicable!"

"Is he here to recruit members for the organization?"

"Bastard!"

In Uchiha Itachi's view, no matter how vile, one should never harm children—it was too egregious. Children should only enjoy the pleasant life of the Ninja Academy without being exposed to such things.

"No, we can't let Kakashi continue like this! Once we find the opportunity, we need to eliminate this Konoha traitor; otherwise, Konoha's future will be replaced by the so-called Red Organization!"

"I absolutely won't allow this to happen!"

Itachi, brainwashed by the Will of Fire, had his own understanding and was deeply immersed in it, feeling that he must find a way to secretly deal with Kakashi.

However, in this process, he could not expose his own identity.

Otherwise, Konoha would not tolerate his existence, nor would the Red Organization tolerate it, and by then, he would be caught between two enemies.

"Ninjas have Chakra properties. Once you become ninjas and cultivate Ninjutsu corresponding to your own Chakra properties, you will achieve twice the results with half the effort, whereas cultivating Ninjutsu with other properties might be troublesome and might even fail," Kakashi began explaining Chakra properties to Haruno Sakura and others.

As for this, Haruno Sakura already knew, as she was not only a diligent child but had also battled many strong opponents in the spiritual space, roughly learning all the Ninjutsu she came across.

In this regard, she had to thank the Third Hokage, who was indeed a very knowledgeable ninja who knew all sorts of Ninjutsu, allowing Sakura to learn many applications of Chakra.

"I have Chakra paper here that can test your Chakra properties, so you can study the corresponding Ninjutsu based on your own development,"

Kakashi took out the Chakra paper and continued, "Once you know your Chakra properties, I can also provide methods to each of you to enhance your control over Chakra based on your characteristics."

Haruno Sakura and others each injected Chakra into the Chakra paper.

Naruto's paper split into two, indicating his Chakra properties were wind; Ino's paper also split into two and became wet, showing his Chakra was both wind and water.

Shikamaru's paper turned into sand and was also burning, indicating his Chakra properties were fire and earth.

Akimichi Choji's paper just burned, indicating he had only the fire property.

As for Hyuga Hinata and others, Sakura's Chakra paper underwent four changes: it split in half, became wrinkled, half became wet, and half was burning.

This proved Haruno Sakura had wind, lightning, water, and fire Chakra properties.

"Sakura, you're so amazing to have four Chakra properties!" Naruto said enviously.

"It's just good luck." Sakura knew that having four Chakra properties was thanks to the teachings of the "Four Divine Seals" from Master Sun Wukong; otherwise, she wouldn't have these properties.

"Four properties? That's rare," Kakashi remarked admiringly.

In fact, Chakra also has Yin and Yang properties, but these two can't be tested with Chakra paper.

However, according to Konoha's medical ninja's research on Chakra, Yin and Yang properties are almost in every individual, but basically, no one can achieve a balance. It seems these two properties are always trying to dominate each other.

Just like the Nara Clan, their Chakra definitely contains the Yin property, since they always seem frail.

And the Akimichi Clan has the Yang property.

Chakra's Yin and Yang properties are somewhat related to a person's temperament and physique. Generally speaking, if a person is cheerful, healthy, or even robust, their Chakra property is basically Yang.

"Alright, next, I'll teach you how to enhance your control of Chakra. Different properties can contact corresponding substances and use Chakra to influence them," Kakashi continued. "For example, if your Chakra property is water, you could take a cup, fill it with water, and use your Chakra to sense it, to see if you can stir the water in the cup with your Chakra. If your Chakra property is fire, you could start a fire and then use your Chakra to sense if you can control the burning of the flames."

"Wind property Chakra is a bit more troublesome since air is always moving, and there's always a breeze, which requires a stronger sensing ability."

"As for lightning property... that's a bit dangerous, so I won't tell you."

Everyone started to act.

Haruno Sakura stepped onto the water and sat in the middle of the river, sensing the water flow beneath her and the omnipresent wind in the air. Note:CheckM_VLEMPY_Rforanycorrections.

Water, the source of life;

Wind, the flow of air.

For these two techniques, Sakura had the deepest understanding. As for lightning and fire, although these elements were common in everyday life, she could not show them off, as it would easily cause a sensation.

"She's very talented, that little girl." Watching the river water under Sakura begin to tumble and even form into a lotus shape, Kakashi couldn't help but exclaim, "Such an amount of Chakra is truly enviable. And her control over Chakra is also very exquisite. Such formations are already the equivalent of some performance Ninjutsu, and she doesn't need hand signs..."

Ninjutsu requires hand signs because only by stimulating corresponding acupoints and meridians through hand signs can Chakra be released according to one's own ideas.

Without hand signs, a ninja cannot directly control Chakra to stimulate the corresponding acupoints to emit corresponding Ninjutsu.

Of course, once familiar with the hand sign process, or often using certain Ninjutsu, a ninja's body can also develop a habit, thereby reducing the number of hand signs needed.

It's akin to deepening one's conditioned reflexes.

Unfortunately, except for some special Ninjutsu, most Ninjutsu require multiple hand signs for release.

Thus, in a matchup against an enemy ninja, the fewer the hand signs, the greater the likelihood of victory!

The nickname "Golden Flash" of the Fourth Hokage was not only because he mastered the Flying Thunder God technique but also because he created a hand sign-less Ninjutsu—Rasengan.

Adding the Flying Thunder God seal atop the kunai, combined with Rasengan, left no one able to escape.

And the powerful Rasengan required no hand signs; under a ninja's constitution, unless under special circumstances, there was no possibility of survival if hit.
