Naruto: Infinite Favorability System: Ryuji's Rise in the Ninja World.

Ryuji and Kakashi were sitting on a stake, while the three members of Team 7 were standing below them. It wasn't that Kakashi didn't allow them to sit, but at this moment, the three of them couldn't sit due to the pain in their butts.

"Well, if any of you still doubt Ryuji's strength, you can practice with him alone," Kakashi said.

For a while, the heads of the three of them looked like rattlesnakes, shaking desperately. Winning or losing wasn't important; even if they got beaten up, it didn't matter much. But Ryuji's move, The 1000 Years of Death, caused such intense pain that even the soul trembled.

The three of Team 7 would rather fight Kakashi than face Ryuji.

Seeing that the three had no objections, Kakashi nodded in satisfaction. But suddenly, his expression changed and his normally relaxed eyes turned fierce.

"I'm very disappointed in them. Ryuji is the same age as you guys, and the three of you still couldn't beat him."

"But, Ryuji-kun is too powerful..." said Naruto accusingly, and the other two nodded.

"Mighty?" Kakashi chuckled softly and continued, "It's true that Ryuji is stronger than you, but you must remember that there are three of you."

"Naruto, you throw yourself recklessly relying on your shadow clones, and if you were in a real battle, it would be easy to mess up the team formation."

Hearing that he had been singled out, Naruto lowered his head guiltily.

"Sakura! Even though you were the first to order teamwork, it sounded like you were giving orders to your teammates, not coordinating with them."

Sakura's face, which was already slightly red, turned as red as an apple.

Realizing that he wasn't being criticized, Sasuke raised his head condescendingly. After all, he had been the one to take an opportunity to attack Ryuji. He thought he had acted well and had the right to be condescending.

Seeing Sasuke's expression, Kakashi sneered.

"The one who disappointed me the most is you, Sasuke Uchiha!"

Hearing Kakashi's criticism, Sasuke frowned in disgust.

"I took my one chance!"

"Taking a chance against someone your age is a source of pride? And you got that chance by sacrificing Naruto - are you proud that you gave up a teammate to seek an advantage?"

"But a ninja must do whatever it takes to complete a mission, some sacrifice is reasonable."

Hearing Sasuke's answer, Kakashi's anger flared all at once. It was not feigned anger, but real fury.

"If you do that, who will dare to be your teammate in the future? Who would dare to complete a mission with you? If you still think this is okay, then quit our team!"

Sasuke was trembling, his eyes filled with resentment. But his pride wouldn't let him give in, so he turned to the rear.

Kakashi was also surprised. He hadn't expected a few words to make Sasuke leave, but he didn't regret it. He didn't want to teach someone who didn't value his teammates, no matter how talented he was.

At that moment, the corner of Ryuji's mouth lifted slightly.

"Kakashi-sensei, you passed. Today's ninjas are graduating from school and they all follow the mission-first theory. As a teacher, you must instill your ninja in them, not reject them!"

Sakura looked at Ryuji in disbelief. Even though Ryuji was mighty, how could he be a match for Kakashi? And now, when Kakashi was establishing his authority, Ryuji contradicted him. This was asking for death.

He might even be kicked off the team like Sasuke.

Sakura had already predicted what would happen next.

Kakashi stared at Ryuji, and his normally relaxed eyes showed a spark of excitement.

Kakashi had always been in ANBU, exposed to the darker things in the village. And the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, had taken him out of ANBU because he had noticed his gradually crooked character.

If Kakashi continued down that path, he would inevitably become an emotionless killing machine. After hearing Ryuji's words, Kakashi couldn't help but shudder. Inheritance among the ninja was not based on Ninjutsu books but on the Way of Resistance. Even if they were sacrificed in the mission, as long as the Way of Ninjutsu was passed down, the ninja could not be considered truly dead. Kakashi did not want to pass on only his legacy, but also that of Obito and Rin.

**Ding Dong! Three Favorability points have been added to Kakashi's Favorability! The Favorability now stands at seventy-nine points.

"Boy, you scolded me and woke me up, I'm going to get Sasuke back now!"

*Ding Dong! Sakura Haruno's favorability is added three points! The Favorability level is now fifty-eight points!*

**Ding Dong! Two points are added to Naruto Uzumaki's Favorability! It's now at fifty-seven Favorability points!

Sakura looked at Ryuji in surprise. Originally, she had expected him to be reprimanded. Who knew that, instead of teaching him a lesson, Kakashi had bowed his head and admitted his mistake, and was going to go and get Sasuke back?

Sakura had been interested in Sasuke for a long time, and now she had the chance to get him back.

"If she can get Sasuke back, the pain of a thousand years of death won't matter!" thought Sakura as she touched her wound and blushed, then ran to Kakashi's side.

"Yes, Kakashi-sensei, go get Sasuke back now!"

"Wait, Kakashi-sensei, don't go." Ryuji reached out his hand and stopped Kakashi.

For a moment, the three of them looked at Ryuji in confusion, and Sakura even ran anxiously to Ryuji's side. If it wasn't for Ryuji holding Sasuke's life and death in his hands, Sakura would have already punched him. However, thinking of Ryuji's abominable Thousand-Year Death Jutsu, Sakura couldn't help but take a step back again, covering her wound with one hand.

"Weren't you the one who said that Kakashi-sensei should teach us the ninja way? Now why don't you let Kakashi-sensei go look for Sasuke?"

"Yeah, what the hell are you thinking, Ryuji?"

Ryuji coughed awkwardly twice and said, "Sasuke is very arrogant. Just now, Kakashi-sensei scolded him like that. If you go, he won't necessarily be willing to come back, and even if he comes back, it won't be easy to teach him afterward. So I think it's better if I go myself."

"You're right, you are considerate," Kakashi said nodding slightly.

Sakura, for her part, lowered her head, her face full of disappointment.

"I'm sorry I misunderstood you, Ryuji-kun."

*Ding Dong! Sakura's favorability is increased by one point! Now the favorability is fifty-nine points!*

The corner of Ryuji's mouth lifted slightly. Such a good opportunity to increase Favorability couldn't be left to someone else.

"I don't know how much Sasuke's Favorability will increase when I talk to him." Ryuji thought
