Obito Reborn With Double Kamui

Chapter 32: Chapter 32: The So-called Elite Jonin



"Kakashi, you truly are a genius. If it weren't for me, an ordinary jonin wouldn't be able to easily defeat you. With a bit more training, you could even be promoted to a full jonin."

"But your Lightning Style ninjutsu has a major flaw. Due to its excessive speed, you lack the corresponding dynamic vision, making it difficult to adjust yourself during the charge. This is very dangerous in combat."

"But I can tell you clearly, my speed isn't slower than your Lightning Style, and my vision isn't necessarily better than yours. Yet, I can adjust myself during the attack to deliver the most effective strikes. Do you know why?"

Kakashi looked thoughtful, recalling the recent battle, and said uncertainly, "Teacher Minato, during the battle, you hardly used your vision but relied on... sensing?"

Minato nodded, "Exactly. Many battles don't require you to see with your eyes but to sense with your body. When you get used to sensing battles with your body, your reliance on vision will greatly decrease. This is your next training direction."

Kakashi's eyes lit up. He had already realized the problem with his Chidori's excessive speed and insufficient vision, and had even discussed it with Obito, but hadn't found an effective solution.

Now, he suddenly understood.

In fact, his father had once told him that sometimes battles don't rely on sight but on hearing. Back then, he didn't understand, but now he did.

Kakashi nodded firmly, "Teacher Minato, I know how to train next."

Obito, listening to Minato's guidance, also gained some insight.

In his previous life, Minato hadn't mentioned these things when Team 7 was formed, 'Is it because Kakashi hadn't used Chidori back then?'

Indeed, with his interference as a reincarnator, Kakashi had consciously developed Chidori earlier, naturally progressing faster than in his previous life.

In comparison, in his previous life, when Chidori was fully formed, they were already on the mission to destroy the Kannabi Bridge. He soon gave his eye to Kakashi, solving Kakashi's lack of dynamic vision, so Kakashi's training direction naturally differed.

'So, for speed-type ninjas without the Sharingan, battles rely more on sensing with the body than seeing with the eyes?'

'Perhaps this is Kakashi's correct training method.'

Obito couldn't help but ponder. His Sharingan had greatly helped Kakashi, even earning him the reputation of the Copy Ninja, but it had also, to some extent, limited Kakashi's development...

As Obito was lost in thought, Minato turned to him.

"Obito, your Fire Style ninjutsu is excellent, capable of densely covering the battlefield. Even if it doesn't effectively harm powerful ninjas, it creates excellent opportunities for teammates, especially when paired with Kakashi."

"But...", Minato paused, somewhat hesitant.

"Earlier, after dodging my first attack, you used the Body Flicker Technique, and even earlier, you seized the moment after my attack to grab the bell, even forcing me to use the Flying Thunder God Technique. Your timing was impeccable."

"Obito, your combat habits aren't like those of a ninjutsu-type ninja but more akin to a close-range speed-type, right?"

Obito nodded, "Yes, I'm actually a close-combat type."

With his ability to phase, he didn't rely much on ninjutsu when fighting true powerhouses. Instead, he closed in to find opportunities, absorbing enemies or avoiding their attacks, then seizing the moment when their moves were spent. In this life, he naturally trained to enhance this.

Minato said seriously, "Although I don't know where your combat experience comes from, it's almost mature. Even if I used your abilities, I couldn't do better than you."

"So, I can't guide you in this aspect. What you need now is a powerful ninjutsu that maximizes your talent for exploiting weaknesses, giving your strength a decisive factor."

"I have such a ninjutsu, as you've just seen—my instant movement technique, the Space-Time Ninjutsu created by the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama: the Flying Thunder God Technique."

"But this technique isn't for everyone. I need to apply for permission. If approved, I can teach it to you. With your proficiency in the Replacement Technique, you have a 30% chance of learning it."

At this point, Rin couldn't help but interject, "Teacher Minato, with Obito's abilities, is there only a 30% chance?"

Minato smiled wryly, "Yes, only a 30% chance. The Flying Thunder God is a complex technique. Even though Obito has a solid foundation, it only meets part of the learning requirements."

"To master this technique, one also needs strong spatial perception. Otherwise, it's almost impossible to apply in real combat. I'm not sure if Obito possesses this."

Kakashi and Rin were stunned, then exchanged glances, their expressions turning strange.

They had witnessed Obito's bizarre Space-Time Ninjutsu. If anyone had spatial perception, it was Obito.

'So, had Obito been preparing all these years to learn this technique?'

Rin immediately became excited, "Then, Teacher Minato, if Obito learns this technique, how strong will he be?"

Minato smiled, "Obito, like Kakashi, is almost at jonin level. If he learns this technique, he could very well leap to elite jonin, or even among the elite."

""Elite Jonin!"", Rin and Kakashi exclaimed.

Minato explained, "Strictly speaking, ninja ranks are only genin, chunin, jonin, and our Leaf's special jonin, who have some jonin abilities but haven't been promoted."

"But... because there are differences even among jonin, those who have made a name for themselves in the ninja world, earned their own titles, and are incomparable to ordinary jonin, can be called elite jonin."

Rin asked curiously, "And what about the elite among elite jonin?"

Minato's gaze deepened, "You know about the Kage of the Five Great Nations, right? Usually, the strongest ninja in the village holds the position. But even Kage grow old or die, and then a new Kage must be chosen. So, from which ninjas should the new Kage be selected?"

Kakashi was startled, then glanced at Obito, "So, the Kage is chosen from the elite among elite jonin?"

Minato nodded, "Exactly. You can think of it this way: generally, a jonin with their own title can be called an elite jonin. If the title is strong enough, even legendary, then such an elite jonin is among the elite."

"For example...", Minato said slowly, "the Sannin of the Leaf, or the title of White Fang of the Leaf."

Minato smiled, "Hearing such titles, you can clearly feel they're different from ordinary jonin, right?"

Rin nodded. Such ninjas were almost legendary, and the gap between them and a village's Kage didn't seem that large. That's why she greatly admired Lady Tsunade, known as the strongest kunoichi.

Kakashi, however, looked hurt. He knew how strong his father was, even considered the most likely candidate for the Fourth Hokage, but alas...
