Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

At this moment, Sakura, in Kakashi's eyes, was controlling the water flow with Chakra and forming a lotus shape, which was utterly incredible.

This demonstrated that Sakura had complete, spontaneous control over her Chakra.

Could it be that in the future, Sakura would be able to perform Ninjutsu without seals?

Such extraordinary talent!

Hidden within the woods, Uchiha Itachi also noticed Sakura's talent and thought to himself, "No wonder Kakashi is engaging with these kids, is it mainly for Haruno Sakura's talent?"

"Sakura is amazing," Naruto exclaimed endlessly, pestering Kakashi, "Kakashi-sensei, teach me too, teach me a Ninjutsu!"

"Stop it, Naruto, with your current Chakra, you can't perform any Ninjutsu..." Before he could finish, sensing the Chakra emerging from Naruto, Kakashi fell silent.

A child has more Chakra than him?

The physical constitution of the Uzumaki Clan—

Envious!

Thinking it over, Kakashi raised his hand, and a blue Chakra ball appeared in his palm. It was only the size of a fist but visibly spinning.

Bang!

He pressed the Chakra ball against a nearby boulder, which instantly shattered, leaving a spiral pattern on the ground.

"Wow, amazing!" Shikamaru and others exclaimed.

"What kind of Ninjutsu is this? It looks like it doesn't need seals," Naruto asked excitedly.

"This is Rasengan, it's a technique that forms by spinning Chakra in the palm of your hand, do you want to learn it?" Kakashi asked.

"Yes!"

It wasn't just Naruto, the others also had eyes full of desire.

"Well, then go practice," Kakashi nodded, saying so.

"Okay... uh—" Naruto suddenly realized, "Kakashi-sensei, you haven't taught us how to learn it yet?"

"Didn't I tell you the principle?" Kakashi's eyes twinkled with a hint of a smile, wiping a drop of sweat from his forehead, "It's about gathering the Chakra in your palm, spinning it, refining it. This requires sufficient control over your Chakra, and also, those with less Chakra should not use it, as it might deplete your Chakra after one or two uses."

As for the systematic method of training Rasengan, Kakashi was not going to tell Naruto and the others.

The purpose of displaying Rasengan was also to spark interest among these young ninjas, hence experimenting with gathering Chakra in the palm—this too was a means to increase Chakra control.

Children always need guided interests.

"Kakashi-sensei, is it like this?"

Following the voice, Kakashi saw Sakura, seated in a water lotus, lifting her hand with a massive amount of Chakra gathering within it, forming a Rasengan the size of a head.

"This is impossible!"

Kakashi couldn't believe that someone could learn the Rasengan just by watching him perform it once!

She's not an Uchiha!

Moreover, Sakura's control over Chakra was simply inhuman!

The Rasengan was even transferred to her fingertips, being tossed up and down like a rubber ball, demonstrating excellent elasticity.

That meant, Sakura could throw the Rasengan!

If it's fast enough—

Hiss!

Kakashi could hardly imagine.

The amount of Chakra in that Rasengan if unleashed, would probably collapse the area within dozens of meters.

"Sakura, can you disperse this Rasengan?" Kakashi's forehead broke into a sweat; he had no means to eliminate Chakra, and once a Ninjutsu was condensed, it was difficult to retract.

"Seems quite simple." Sakura nodded her head, the spinning speed of the Rasengan in her hand slowed down, then gradually dissipated, obviously returning inside her body.

"Because it's my own Chakra, so I can take it back inside, right?" Kakashi guessed, "But why can't I do it? Could it be that Sakura's control over Chakra has already reached an astonishing level?"

He could already foresee, in the future, Sakura learning Ninjutsu, almost without needing seals.

That reminded him of someone.

The First Hokage!

It was rumored that he didn't need seals to perform Ninjutsu, just needed to clap his hands.

Could it be that Haruno Sakura's talent was comparable to that of the First Hokage?

"You guys keep practicing, I suddenly remember, I have some things to take care of." Kakashi made up a lame excuse and left for the Hokage's office.

"Kakashi? How did you get here?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was surprised. Since Kakashi's father had committed suicide due to public controversy, Kakashi had been in a state of decline, hardly ever coming here unless directly ordered.

"Lord Hokage, do you know about Haruno Sakura's talent?" Kakashi asked.

"Haruno Sakura? She is indeed a highly talented ninja, she might even become the Hokage in the future," Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of Haruno Sakura's development, his lips twitched, but he still spoke cheerfully, "What, did you meet her?"

"Yes, I met her. She was playing a ninja game with Naruto, the new generation of Ino-Shika-Cho, and the Hyuga house heiress," Kakashi said, somewhat reminiscently, "Especially Naruto, he reminds me of a friend."

"Ah~" Sarutobi Hiruzen also put down his smoking pipe; he knew who Kakashi was referring to. Uchiha Obito was a child who carried the will of fire, an anomaly among the Uchihas but considered normal to them.

Unfortunately—

"However, the child who left the deepest impression on me was Haruno Sakura. Her control over Chakra is very strong. I imparted a little experience, and she was able to learn by analogy," exclaimed Kakashi.

"Really? She is indeed very outstanding," Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.

"Have you already learned of this?"

"Of course, I am the Hokage," laughed Sarutobi Hiruzen, "What, are you interested in her talent? Then, after they graduate, you can lead them: Naruto, Sakura, and the remaining one, I'll consider."

"That's not what I meant," Kakashi shook his head, "She has already reached the graduation standards, right? And she has even learned the Rasengan."

"Haha, it's not a war period now, let her spend more time at school, mingle with her friends more... wait, what? She learned the Rasengan?!" Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression became serious, "How did she learn it?"

"Uh, I guess I taught her." Kakashi started explaining how out of a whim he had taught Haruno Sakura and others how to walk on water and demonstrated the Rasengan to the Third Hokage. My Virtual Library Empire (M|V|LE1MPYR) thanks you for reading at the source.

"Kakashi, you must understand, they are still children; they shouldn't be exposed to such dangerous ninjutsu so early," Sarutobi Hiruzen said sternly.

"Sorry, Lord Hokage, I didn't expect, Haruno Sakura just watched me use it, and she was able to learn it... This shows she has a strong perceptive ability and control over Chakra, only thus could she grasp it at a glance."

Kakashi's expression was also very serious, "This is a talent comparable to the Sharingan! And moreover, this is her own learning ability, not a special power given by the Sharingan."

Suddenly, Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed, "Kakashi, it appears you have gotten your spirit back!"

"What?"

Kakashi was initially startled, then he understood; the Hokage wasn't blaming him but was reminding him of his old feelings.

"Right, you are correct. That Haruno Sakura, she reminds me of my own teacher," Kakashi said.

"Then, after she and Naruto graduate, I'll leave them in your care," Sarutobi Hiruzen said cheerfully, "As for the remaining student, I'll think about who should it be... How do you feel about Uchiha Sasuke?"

"Sasuke?" Kakashi felt like he had fallen into the Third's trap; he had come to discuss Haruno Sakura's talent, but how had it turned into a discussion about his future students?

Nevertheless, he continued along the Third's line of thought.

"The Uchiha clan?"

"Correct," Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, "Due to the Kyubi incident, the Uchiha clan was alienated to the outskirts of the village, and our relationship got a bit tense... My student was Jiraiya, Jiraiya's student was Minato Namikaze, and you are Minato's student. Making Sasuke your student might soothe the village's relationship with the Uchiha."

Politics, huh?

Kakashi's eyelids drooped, and after a moment of thought, he said, "Alright, no problem. It's just that, the Uchiha seem quite unhappy with you all, can this really last until Sasuke graduates?"

He had recently heard some news about the Uchiha clan showing signs of political uprising.

Previously, Uchiha Itachi's actions were also very strange; was he testing his opinions about the Uchiha clan?

Please, he really didn't want to get involved in this.

Better to stay out of it.

Lately, perhaps it was time he picked a mission outside the village to avoid things for a while... Speaking of which, Guy had also mentioned going out of the village for a mission.

That guy, always looking so restless, but he was unexpectedly perceptive, having a clear understanding of some matters in the village.

"Sigh—"

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, "We can only hope Itachi tries his best."

"Uchiha Itachi?"

Kakashi thought back on Uchiha Itachi's strange behaviors, feeling unreliable, and questioned if entrusting a twelve or thirteen-year-old child with settling family and village disputes was problematic.

Although Uchiha Itachi's abilities were beyond what one would expect from a child, at that age, it's easy to fall into cognitive traps.

"Forget it, it has nothing to do with me," Kakashi sighed inwardly and waved to the Third, saying, "Lord Hokage, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving."

"Yes, but remember, don't teach Naruto and the others ninjutsu anymore. They are still children and don't know their own strength," Sarutobi Hiruzen warned.

"OK!"

Kakashi gave a gesture and slowly closed the big door of the Hokage's office...

...

Uchiha Itachi had been following Kakashi, seeing him enter the Hokage office building for a while and then come out again, he thought, "This guy, what did he discuss with the Hokage?"
