"Kakashi-sensei, Sora doesn't seem to be from Konaha; at least, I don't know him, and the Fourth Hokage has been dead for many years, so who exactly taught him that technique?"
Uchiha Sasuke asked, because he truly wanted to know, and if he had a teacher like the one who taught Sora, he could definitely get his revenge.
"Even though the Fourth Hokage is dead, it doesn't mean no one else knows this technique. As far as I know, Lord Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, has mastered it.
And the other Sannin, the princess of the Senju clan, might also know it, and even if she doesn't, she would certainly know the cultivation method for it."
Although it was possible that Sora was a disciple of one of the two Sannin, nothing had been confirmed yet, and everything about him remained a mystery.
If a conflict ever arose, knowing nothing about the opponent would be extremely dangerous.
At the same time, Kakashi also intended to use Sora as motivation for his three students, because having someone to chase after would greatly increase their cultivation efficiency.
"So you're saying Sora is likely a disciple of the Legendary Sannin, and if that's the case, he should be on our side, right?" Sakura Haruno said with a hint of admiration.
Because the Sannin possessed tremendous prestige in Konaha.
If Sora truly was their disciple, then with his strength and temperament, he would indeed be a remarkable person.
"The problem is that I haven't confirmed it yet, and if it's the former then it's fine, but if it's the latter then there will be quite a few problems."
Kakashi Hatake said while rubbing his forehead slightly, because he clearly understood that Tsunade's conflict with Konaha was far more serious than Jiraiya's.
If Sora truly was Tsunade's disciple, then judging from his indifferent attitude toward them, it was obvious that Tsunade's view of Konaha was not good at all.
And under her influence, Sora likely wouldn't have any positive feelings toward the village either.
"Forget it, I'm only telling you this so you understand that the Ninja World is filled with hidden talents, and there are many people your age who are incredibly powerful.
So, don't become complacent just because of a few small achievements, because that would be very foolish," Kakashi Hatake said before walking to the side and casually opening his beloved book Icha Icha Paradise.
Sure enough, after Kakashi deliberately provoked them—especially after they witnessed his Lightning Release: Lightning Blade—Uzumaki Naruto and the others trained even harder.
Both Naruto and Sasuke were eager to perform well so Kakashi would teach them that powerful ninjutsu.
Meanwhile, Sora sat quietly beside the lake, frowning deeply as he thought about his technique.
"Is it still missing something, and where exactly is the flaw?" Sora murmured to himself.
He had already mastered Fire Nature Transformation to an extremely high level, certainly not inferior to a jonin, yet he was still one step away from fully completing the technique.
In truth, although Sora had not integrated nature transformation into the ragengan during these past few years.
He had already formed a clear concept of the technique in his mind, so he was very proficient with it. Now, only the final step remained.
Crackle, crackle.
Sora slightly raised his head and looked at the fire burning in front of him, which he had deliberately lit to better sense the nature of flames.
As he listened to the continuous crackling sounds, his pupils suddenly dilated as a realization flashed through his mind.
Sora suddenly stood up and pressed both hands against the lake.
A scorching aura instantly spread outward, causing a huge amount of steam to rise from the water.
At that moment, Sora exuded an imposing momentum as if he could boil rivers and evaporate seas.
"Explode for me!" Sora roared.
Boom!
The lake that had been steaming suddenly exploded as if a bomb had detonated beneath the surface.
And the powerful force sent enormous waves surging across the lake.
"So that's it; fire is not only about high temperature and burning, but also explosion, volatility, and the destruction of everything."
After understanding this principle, Sora focused entirely on the explosive nature of fire.
A cluster of red light gathered in his palm like a spinning vortex, gradually forming something that resembled a miniature sun.
As it took shape, constant rumbling sounds echoed from within it, as though countless explosions were occurring inside.
"It's done."
Excitement surged through Sora's heart as he immediately slammed the miniature sun in his hand toward the lake.
Boom!
A terrifying energy burst outward, transforming into a massive firestorm that swept across the lake before erupting violently.
Within the range of the explosion, devastating shockwaves and scorching heat continuously destroyed everything in their path.
The destructive power was almost comparable to a small-scale nuclear explosion.
"This is my new technique, and from now on it shall be called Fire Release: Blazing Spiral, and it will become my sharp weapon to conquer the world," Sora declared confidently.
However, after the excitement faded, Sora's expression gradually became serious.
The power of this newly completed technique was tremendous, but the chakra consumption was equally terrifying.
Sora realized that he could only use it once, because using it a second time would cause serious damage to his body.
This was only possible because of his exceptional chakra control and the years he had spent tempering his body with water and fire, which greatly increased his affinity with fire-nature chakra.
Otherwise, with his current chakra reserves, he might not have been able to use the technique even once.
After all, not everyone possessed chakra reserves like the Nine-Tails jinchuriki, Uzumaki Naruto.
"Now that I've mastered this technique, even if unexpected variables occur when facing Zabuza, my chances of victory will be much higher."
Sora slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
After two consecutive days of intense training, he was completely exhausted.
Now that the technique was finally completed, he could finally allow himself some proper rest.
The next morning, Kakashi led his students—more precisely, everyone except the late-sleeping Uzumaki Naruto—to accompany Tazuna to the bridge so they could continue construction.
After all, their mission was to protect Tazuna, and if he died, fighting Zabuza would become meaningless.
However, when they arrived at the bridge, they discovered that all the workers were lying on the ground and groaning in pain.
"What happened here?" Sakura asked in shock.
"It seems Sora's judgment was correct; Zabuza is coming, so stay alert."
Kakashi Hatake said while pulling a kunai from his pouch and staring cautiously at the thick mist that was gradually spreading around them.
"Sora hasn't arrived yet?" Sakura Haruno asked nervously.
"I'm not afraid even if Sora isn't here," Uchiha Sasuke said confidently.
After mastering tree climbing and greatly increasing his speed, Sasuke felt extremely confident.
Unfortunately, this was a typical case of inflated confidence after gaining a bit of power, and once he suffered a setback, it would be difficult for him to accept.
"Since you're already here, Zabuza, stop hiding and come out," Kakashi Hatake said calmly.
In the next instant, two figures suddenly appeared before them.
Zabuza Momochi and a masked youth.
"So that kid Sora isn't here?" Zabuza said with a cold laugh, then added.
"That's fine too; once I deal with you, handling Sora will be much easier. Haku, I'll leave those two to you."
"Yes, Zabuza-sama," Haku replied calmly.
Haku's figure suddenly blurred as he moved with astonishing speed.
Uchiha Sasuke's expression remained calm. If this had been more than a week ago, he would have been completely unable to react to such speed.
However, after training to concentrate chakra in his feet, his speed was no longer inferior to Haku's.
Of course, this was only because Haku was still holding back.
