Chapter 420: Konoha's Technician
When Naruto returned, he was covered in dirt and looking thoroughly battered, with some bruises on his face.
This couldn't have been Sakura-kun's doing. Having endured Masahiko's education over the past few years, Naruto's strength aside, his tolerance for getting beaten was incredibly high. As long as he protected his vitals, no matter how much the current Sakura-kun punched and kicked him, he wouldn't suffer any real injuries.
Looking like this, he must have dueled Sasuke again. Masahiko's kick packed quite a punch; the two of them must have kissed pretty fiercely, sharing a suffocating kiss...
"Great Ancestor, did you do this?" Naruto asked with a resentful face.
Masahiko was startled. This brat's IQ had actually grown over the years: "I didn't make lunch."
"I mean... Eh, why did you open your eyes? Just one!"
Naruto's attention was instantly diverted.
"This child's IQ really hasn't changed."
During lunch, Tsukika-kun didn't leak a single word, playing an excellent assist.
This little imp had seen Masahiko 'mess with' Naruto too many times. Although Masahiko didn't let her see that soul-polluting scene, she could guess the general idea from Naruto's unlucky appearance, and she wasn't about to remind her 'idiot brother'!
This was all thanks to Masahiko's good education; kids who tell tales are not good kids!
After lunch, Naruto, curious about the Jonin instructor candidate, hurriedly ran back to the Ninja Academy, and this chapter was turned. With Naruto's IQ, it was impossible for him to remember this matter again.
"It seems he doesn't really care about giving his first kiss to Sasuke..."
"Great Ancestor, who is brother's instructor? Are we still going to watch this afternoon?"
Masahiko blinked his right eye: "It's Kakashi. We're not going this afternoon."
Saying he wasn't going, it was actually just because he couldn't take this little imp along. Before noon was over, Masahiko flashed back to the Ninja Academy and stayed at the entrance to verify a certain idea of his.
"Whether it succeeds or fails depends on this move!"
Over these three years, Masahiko hadn't wasted his time; he had made a series of preparations to earn Witness Points from Naruto.
From Naruto graduating from the Ninja Academy to the Chunin Exams, Masahiko had a relatively deep impression of the plot and could recall the general outline.
Because of his various influences, some things were unlikely to happen, but Masahiko had thought of some tricks...
After acquiring Witness Points twice this morning, Masahiko had gathered enough to reach 500 Witness Points and could max out another skill. But evolving after adding points would take some time, and Masahiko didn't want to miss this 'harvest season' of Witness Points.
"After the Chunin Exams end, I can get at least another 500 points. I'll directly open two spaces then!"
Masahiko had also clarified his future path for increasing his strength. When his left eye opened, he would be an SSS+ ninja. The only person with higher raw strength than him would be Kaguya Otsutsuki, and those on par with him were only the living Hagoromo and Hamura.
And if he wanted to go a step further and reach Kaguya's level, he estimated he would have to open all eight spaces... He was still missing six!
Masahiko didn't have too much desire to improve his strength, but he always felt that having an attribute panel and not maxing out his skills felt like something was missing... OCD hurts.
In the distance, Kakashi slowly walked over holding a little yellow book. Seeing Masahiko, he was stunned: "Senior, you being here is..."
Masahiko raised an eyebrow: "Quite punctual. You're the first Jonin instructor to arrive!"
"Ah, I wouldn't be like Lord Fifth Hokage, always being late after becoming Hokage." Kakashi scratched his hair: "Are you waiting for me?"
"Mm, I need your help with something. Come here for a second." Masahiko waved his hand and walked towards a corner of the Ninja Academy.
Kakashi lightly pulled his mask, put the book away, and walked towards Masahiko with slight confusion.
When he got close, Masahiko chuckled and put his hand on his shoulder: "Next, it's my turn to perform. Please be the audience for a while."
Kakashi was startled, suddenly feeling a massive attractive force coming from Masahiko's palm. The next second, he was sucked into Masahiko's Eight Trigrams Space.
"Senior! What are you doing!"
Masahiko scratched his head: "Just a small experiment. Don't panic, and don't be nervous. Just watch the show from the space... Transformation Jutsu!"
In the Eight Trigrams Space, Kakashi looked at the 'Kakashi Hatake using a forehead protector to cover his left eye' outside and was left speechless, simultaneously having a very bad premonition in his heart...
At dusk, the students of all classes had been taken away by their respective instructors, leaving only the three little ones of Team 7 all alone.
'Kakashi Hatake' arrived late, pushed open the classroom door and walked in. His finger flicked away the mischievous chalkboard eraser Naruto had set to fall from above, and his gaze turned to the three.
"Eh? Big Brother Kakashi, it's actually you? You're so slow!" Naruto shouted in dissatisfaction.
'Kakashi', however, ignored him. His exposed right eye suddenly curved into a crescent shape: "My first impression of you guys... I absolutely love the three of you!"
"Eh?" The three little ones looked at each other, even Sasuke was shocked.
In the space, Kakashi rolled his eyes: "Oh no, something terrible is going to happen!"
This was Masahiko's experiment. Since altering things yielded the most Witness Points, he just had to do everything opposite to the original story. Kakashi said 'hate', so he changed it to 'love'...
More importantly, Masahiko wanted to know if doing this would be recognized by the system. If it could, only then could his subsequent point-earning plan be executed smoothly.
As for being late... the assembly of Asuma and Kurenai's teams had brought him 20 points.
On the rooftop.
Masahiko spoke calmly: "From now on, the three of you will be my subordinates. But only Naruto is familiar with me, so I'll introduce myself first."
Naruto's expression was very awkward. As Minato's disciple, Kakashi would visit his house every once in a while, so he was indeed quite familiar with him. However, seeing him this time, he felt completely unfamiliar...
"Big Brother Kakashi, what happened to your left eye? Why is it covered?"
"Naruto, from now on you have to call me Kakashi-sensei." Masahiko turned his head and lifted the forehead protector over his left eye, revealing a scarlet Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.
Sasuke was shocked: "You... how do you have the Sharingan! And a Mangekyou Sharingan at that?"
Masahiko glanced at him: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Kakashi Hatake, 26 years old this year, unmarried so far. Parenthesis, there is a girl currently pursuing me, hehe..."
"Because I've copied over a thousand ninjutsu using the Sharingan, I have a resounding title: Copy Ninja Kakashi of the Sharingan!"
Silence fell over the rooftop. Naruto and Sasuke suddenly looked at each other as if they had a telepathic connection...
Seeing the situation turn sour, Masahiko hurriedly let out a light cough: "I know the three of you extremely well, no need for introductions!"
As soon as he finished speaking, characters flashed before Masahiko's eyes: "Witnessed and significantly altered the main plot of the Naruto world: Team 7 Assembly, obtained 10(5) Witness Points."
Masahiko was delighted and muttered: "It really works, this system is so stupid!"
His right eye curved into a crescent shape again, and he pointed his right thumb at himself: "Remember this! I am Copy Ninja Kakashi of the Sharingan!
You can also call me Konoha's Technician!"
