Chapter 43: Ryoha's Arrangements
"What did you say? He can learn even B-rank ninjutsu with just one look?" The Third looked at Kakashi in surprise. Hearing what he said just now if it were true, then this was simply a super genius that was hard to come by in a thousand years.
Today was a week after returning from the Land of Waves. Initially, Kakashi should have told The Third about Ryoha's situation as soon as possible. Unfortunately, not only was he badly injured in the previous battle with Zabuza, but he also used his Sharingan to maintain a stalemate for a long time. Therefore, after coming back, he was bedridden for another week before he had time to report Ryoha's matter.
"Not only that, I used Chidori in front of him once. He actually learned Chidori in only a week without my guidance, with ease. Kakashi threw out another piece of surprising news, which shocked everyone present, including the Third.
Even the other Jonins, such as Asuma, Kurenai, Guy, and others, all looked at Kakashi in disbelief. How difficult was Chidori? It was not something ordinary A-rank ninjutsu could compare with. Chidori was already at the forbidden level, and it was already ninjutsu that had developed to the extreme. It was even close to the esoteric S-rank. It could be said to be the peak of A-rank forbidden ninjutsu."
"Kakashi, are you joking? Such a person exist?" Asuma expressed that it was a bit difficult to accept. Initially, he thought Shikamaru was already very strong, but he did not expect that there was someone better.
"Ha-ha, he even could learn Kakashi's Chidori independently in just a week. Why is he not my student?" Kurenai was the first person who discovered Ryoha's talent besides the Third. For this reason, she secretly observed him. She was very satisfied with this man who was the strongest but not arrogant at all.
Apart from Kakashi, who was an exception, all the other teachers thought that their disciples were outstanding. Now that they heard what Kakashi said, they thought that they had already thought highly of Ryoha. Now it seemed that they had to re-examine him.
"Do you think I'm joking? Hokage-sama, I think it's necessary to change the arrangement for Ryoha. With his talent, even if we don't teach him anything, he could just rely on his observation of everything around him."
"He was an exceptional talent, and he can also learn a lot of powerful ninjutsu. If we don't help him now, I believe that in a short time, he will definitely shine and soar above the skies." Hatake Kakashi's face was a little serious, as was the Third Hokage.
"What is his impression of Konoha?" The Third was a bit worried. After all, his favorite and most excellent disciple had defected, which made him a little disgusted with this matter.
"He grew up in Konoha from a young age, and he has a clean background. As long as Konoha does not touch his family, I think there is no problem. I can see that he has no ambition for power. Even if he has this ambition, unless you execute him now, he will soon become stronger and stronger."
"One had to know that he was not a weakling. His current strength was at least at the elite Chuunin level, and we did not know if he was hiding anything."
After getting along for a period of time, Kakashi was very satisfied with Ryoha, who was a student who learned everything at once. Of course, he hoped that Ryoha could have a good future.
"So what should we do to him?" The Third felt a little headache. Sometimes being too excellent was also a problem. If this Ninja was too strong, and he was not sure if he was loyal to Konoha, it would be dangerous.
"Train him with all our strength, and make him feel grateful to Konoha. Even if he can't, he will still have a good impression of Konoha. In addition, he has lived here for so many years, and he absolutely has a sense of belonging. Instead of waiting to see him rely on himself to become stronger, it would be better to give him some help while he still needs our help."
It had to be said that Kakashi's analysis was really accurate. If Ryoha was not an Earthling but really a person from the Naruto world, he would really have a good impression of Konoha, as Kakashi said.
"Kakashi, you are right. We are the First Ninja Village, and we should show enough tolerance. We can't kill a Ninja just because we are afraid that a ninja will be too strong for us to control or turn against us in the future."
"If this is the case, who will work for our Konoha in the future? As long as he has this talent and won't betray Konoha, then Konoha will nurture him into an excellent ninja."
The Third immediately made the decision, but in his heart, he thought of the White Fang that made his heart go numb, who is the father of Kakashi who stood in front of him.
Others might not know the truth of the death of the White Fang. It seemed that he took his own life out of guilt, but in fact, the one who manipulated all the pressure of the villagers to drove him into suicide was Konoha's higher-ups. Although the Third did not participate, he did not stop them.
Now, he had a feeling that Ryoha would become the second White Fang sooner or later, and he would definitely not be as loyal to the village as the White Fang.
Unfortunately, it was too late for the Third to regret. Such a powerful ninja who was loyal to Konoha was driven to death because of those greedy fellows. It was really a pity.
"So Kakashi, just go and teach him. Don't be lazy. Remember to let him know that all of this was given to him by Konoha, but it can't be so obvious. I believe you will handle it well." The Third said to Kakashi in a commanding tone.
Obviously, he was worried that Kakashi would neglect his teaching for Ryoha because he was lazy. It had to be said that the Third's vision was very accurate. In fact, in the original work, Kakashi didn't do his job of being a teacher properly. He failed to guide Sasuke. Now, the Third said to Kakashi in a commanding tone that he wanted to give Kakashi a preemptive warning.
If in the original work Sasuke failed to impress the Third, then the current Ryoha had already caught the attention of the Third and was highly regarded. However, if the 3rd knew that Ryoha could use the Sharingan, then he might regard him even more highly.
"Yes! Hokage-sama!" This time, even if the Third didn't say so, he would still seriously teach Ryoha. In Kakashi's eyes, Ryoha didn't have the shortcomings of a young man at all. He didn't have the pushiness of Naruto nor the pride and arrogance of Sasuke.
Ryoha's talent and comprehension were very excellent, so it was not difficult to teach him. He only needed to say everything once. His heart was not corrupted nor distorted like Sasuke. He also didn't willingly become a slave of strength. Even a lazy person like Kakashi couldn't help but want to teach him seriously after getting to know him for a while.
