Chapter 61: Kakashi's Social Death

Chapter 61: Kakashi's Social Death

"Hmm? Ah? Hahahaha! Am I that strong now?"

Naruto's eyes widened at Neji's words, and he grinned from ear to ear. "So, I already have the strength of a Kage! I'm amazing!"

Naruto winked at Sakura as he spoke, causing her smooth forehead to wrinkle in annoyance.

"That brat is indeed powerful. If I didn't go all out, it would be hard to beat you," Tsunade praised.

"Naruto, you can easily defeat me now. You're so strong," Kakashi said, rolling his eyes.

"Hey! Hey! Kakashi-sensei, what level are you at?" Naruto asked with a smile.

"He's barely an upper-level elite jonin," Neji added, furrowing his brows. "Kakashi Hatake became a special jonin at the age of twelve, setting a record in Konoha. Just by going through the ninja academy's education system, he achieved such a feat. His talent is undoubtedly comparable to that of our world's Kakashi-senpai. But... his growth stagnated afterward, and he couldn't even advance to the Kage level... What a waste."

"Ahahaha... becoming a special jonin at twelve was just luck, pure luck," Kakashi said, scratching his head awkwardly. "The Kage level is almost on par with Tsunade-sama. I still have a long way to go... hehehe... a very long way to go..."

Kakashi's smile was bitter-sweet.

"If you had preserved your pure yang qi, you would have reached the Kage level by now. It's a pity you squandered yourself," Neji sighed, shaking his head as he glanced at Kakashi's listless face and lifeless eyes.

"What's pure yang qi? By preserving it, can I become even stronger?" Naruto asked curiously, intrigued by the new term.

Tsunade, as a medical ninja, also raised an eyebrow in interest.

"Pure yang qi... in martial arts, it usually refers to a man's essence," Neji explained. "Kakashi, you've wasted too much of it."

As his words sank in, the Naruto characters from Naruto: Shippuden were left stunned. Strange gazes fell upon Kakashi, making him break into a cold sweat. "No! Don't look at me like that! It's all a misunderstanding! I don't even have a girlfriend, how could I have done such a thing..."

Kakashi waved his hands, trying to defend himself.

"Don't explain, Kakashi. Do you think everyone here is a three-year-old child? As a man, I understand your needs... but everything must be done in moderation!" Shikamaru patted Kakashi's shoulder sympathetically, his expression complicated.

"Hey! Don't jump to conclusions! I would never do such a thing!" Kakashi was on the verge of tears. As an elite jonin, the copy ninja who had mastered over a thousand jutsu, and one of Konoha's most handsome men, why would he need to resort to such means?

"Kakashi-sensei, stop making excuses. If you had taken better care of yourself, you wouldn't look so listless. From a medical standpoint, it's clear you've indulged too much," Sakura said disdainfully.

"Kakashi... get rid of the 'Intimate Paradise' technique," Tsunade advised.

"Jiraiya-oji-san is right! Kakashi-sensei, you must stop reading the Pervy Sage's books! You need to pull yourself together, for your sake and for Konoha's!" Naruto added.

"Everyone... everyone..." Kakashi wanted to explain further.

But the group continued to dissuade him.

Kakashi could only shout and disappear in a whoosh.

"He ran away! Kakashi-sensei ran away! He doesn't plan on changing, does he?" Naruto exclaimed, his eyes wide.

"Ah... It's difficult to quit once you're addicted to Intimate Paradise. Poor Kakashi..." Shikamaru sighed.

"Uncle Shikamaru, the way you're talking, it's as if you're very familiar with it. You... have you watched it too?"

Sakura glared at Shikamaru Nara.

"Me... How is that possible? Do I need to? Don't look at me like that! I've just heard about it! Heard about it!"

Shikamaru waved his hands in denial, a nervous sweat on his face.

Tsunade shook her head on the side.

"If there's nothing else, Tang and I will take our leave first," Imperial Neji said, remembering his mission.

He hadn't forgotten his task to gather information about this world and report back to His Majesty.

He had been doing this for the past few days, and as a result, he had learned quite a bit, causing him to develop a strong dislike for the people of Konoha in this world.

"Wait! Ni-chan, you still haven't told us what a Six Paths level powerhouse is, nor have you mentioned the strength of the last person, Yuantu."

Shikamaru quickly spoke up, causing Imperial Neji to pause.

"A Six Paths powerhouse?"

He murmured, then looked up at the sky and whispered: "A Six Paths powerhouse... That's a realm that ordinary ninjas can never hope to attain.

In their presence, tailed beasts are like infants, powerless to resist.

A single strike is enough to destroy a country, or even a small planet.

To be able to annihilate the entire ninja world in a single day, unstoppable... that is the might of a Six Paths level powerhouse!"

"Hiss..."

The Konoha ninjas inhaled sharply once more, their hearts pounding.

Imperial Neji's description was challenging their understanding on a whole new level.

Tsunade whispered, "Are such powerful beings... akin to gods?"

"You can think of them that way," Imperial Neji nodded.

"Tailed beasts like infants... A single strike to destroy a country, annihilating the ninja world in a day, or even a planet... Do such monsters truly exist?"

Shikamaru muttered, his eyes filled with doubt.

"Of course."

"Is the Emperor of the Divine Might Empire also a powerhouse of that caliber?"

"Naturally, His Majesty's power is unmatched and supreme.

He is the Martial Arts Supreme, having mastered countless martial arts techniques!

To call him Six Paths level might even be an insult to his true strength."

Imperial Neji's face lit up with admiration.

"Wow, so powerful! What about Big Brother Naruto and that smelly Sasuke, what level are they?" Naruto quickly asked.

"They are both Six Paths level powerhouses," Imperial Neji replied.

"Wow! So amazing!" Naruto's eyes sparkled with stars, and he, too, looked admiring: "Big Brother Naruto is so strong; I must not disgrace him! I've decided! Starting tomorrow, I'll train even harder!"

"Yes! That's the spirit, Naruto! Let's ignite our passion and youth and strive for greater heights!" Imperial Lee saw Naruto's enthusiasm and shouted.

"Yes! Let's do our best!"

"Leave no regrets in our youth! No need to wait until tomorrow! Naruto! Let's start training right now!"

Imperial Lee roared.

"Yes! Let's train!"

Naruto roared back.

"Sakura! Join us too!"

Imperial Lee reached out his hand to Sakura again.
