Yasu spotted Kakashi in the crowd of genin, and his mind became active.
Originally, he didn't plan to take a ninja from a ninja clan as a disciple, after all, ninja from ninja clans involved a lot.
But if it was Kakashi, it didn't seem impossible.
Next year, Sakumo's mission would fail, and he would suffer public condemnation.
Including Kakashi, he would definitely be affected.
Then Sakumo would commit suicide, which would be a major turning point for Kakashi.
Yasu felt that if he recruited Kakashi as his disciple, he might be able to develop him into one of his own when Kakashi was confused at his important turning point.
Moreover, now the Hatake clan only had Sakumo and Kakashi left.
That is to say, Kakashi was not considered a ninja of a ninja clan anymore.
At this time, the vice-principal of the Ninja School was announcing the list of genin assigned to the jōnin leaders.
At this moment, it happened to be announcing Minato.
"Jōnin Minato Namikaze, the genin under his command are Obito Uchiha, Rin Nohara, Kakashi Hata..."
"Wait!"
Yasu suddenly interrupted the vice-principal.
Everyone looked at him, who was at the moment walking towards Kakashi.
Kakashi looked up at Yasu.
Just now the vice-principal mentioned 'Hatake', which meant that his jōnin leader should be Minato Namikaze.
Kakashi didn't understand what Yasu was going to do in front of him.
Yasu asked: "I intend to make you my disciple, what do you think? Do you agree?"
Kakashi looked at him in surprise, being suddenly asked to be taken as a disciple caught him off guard.
He then frowned slightly, he originally came to participate in the assignment this time because his father, Sakumo Hatake, asked him to.
Because of participating in the war too early, Kakashi, who was somewhat precocious, didn't even have a friend until now. So, his father Sakumo hoped that he could follow a jōnin leader and become friends with his two other teammates.
However, Kakashi didn't care at all. He was only interested in the mission content.
So, he didn't care who the jōnin leader was.
But becoming Yasu's disciple was different.
In the ninja world, the inheritance of master and disciple was very important.
So Kakashi couldn't agree to Yasu, because he didn't know him at all.
However, he was indeed very interested in Yasu now.
Because Yasu discovered him at a glance, and Kakashi was very sure that he had never met him before.
Kakashi asked: "How can you make me stronger? It seems like we're only meeting for the first time, right?"
Yasu pointed to Kakashi's calloused hands: "You should have practiced Thunder Breathing, right? Thunder Breathing was given to Konoha by me. My Thunder Breathing is stronger than everyone else's, and my master is one of the Sannin, Orochimaru. It shouldn't be wronging you to become my disciple, right?"
A disciple of one of the Sannin, Orochimaru? That's indeed more than enough.
But Kakashi was still a little conflicted, because this was too sudden.
Yasu suddenly said to Kakashi, who was in a dilemma: "You don't need to agree to me immediately. You can decide after seeing my strength. You can come to the forest east of Konoha to find me. I'll only wait for you for two hours."
After speaking, Yasu glanced at Obito Uchiha, who was excited to be under Minato's command with Rin Nohara, and turned around and left the Ninja School directly.
Not long after he left, the vice-principal asked: "Kakashi, do you want to become Yasu's disciple, or do you want to become Minato's subordinate? You can go to Yasu now. If you give up becoming his disciple, return to the Ninja School and you will continue to be assigned to Minato's team."
Kakashi immediately said: "I'm going to find him now."
Yasu on the other hand wasn't worried at all about whether Kakashi would come to find him.
As long as Kakashi wanted to become stronger, he would definitely come to him. Anyway, Kakashi had nothing to lose.
After a while, Kakashi appeared and couldn't wait to ask: "I want to ask about Thunder Breathing. Is it complete?"
In the process of practicing Thunder Breathing, Kakashi always felt that Thunder Breathing seemed to be a little incomplete, so after hearing Yasu say that he was the one who gave this justu to Konoha, this question popped first in his mind.
Yasu looked at Kakashi in surprise, not expecting him to actually discover that Thunder Breathing was incomplete.
Kakashi explained his problem: "In the process of practicing Thunder Breathing, I always have a sense of pause, and this sense of pause is very awkward, as if a part is missing."
Yasu replied: "The Thunder Breathing that I gave to Konoha at the beginning, you can understand it as an unfinished one. I have now perfected it, but I won't tell you."
The intelligent Kakashi instantly understood and asked: "Can you only tell me if I become your disciple?"
Yasu nodded: "Yes, because this is my secret technique."
Kakashi fell silent and stopped asking, intending to follow Yasu and see his strength before making a decision.
Kakashi followed him to the forest east of Konoha.
This forest was the forest where Yasu first used Thunder Breathing in the system simulation.
So many years have passed, although the plants have regrown, some traces can still be seen.
"Show me your Thunderclap and Flash first."
Kakashi slightly arched his body, making the starting stance of Thunderclap and Flash.
"Thunder Breathing, First Form: Thunderclap and Flash!"
Kakashi poured lightning chakra into one foot, then burst out in one breath. After the sound of thunder appeared, he rushed towards a tree in front at high speed. With a single drawing sword slash, he left a deep slash mark on the tree trunk.
Yasu had seen several Konoha ninjas use Thunder Breathing in the Land of Hot Water before. To be honest, they were all indescribable.
And Kakashi's Thunder Breathing looked the most decent, but that was it.
It was just simply using lightning chakra to stimulate the body to increase speed. The sound of thunder was just the sound of lightning chakra, not the sound of thunder like tearing the air after a burst of breath.
Kakashi looked at Yasu with expectant eyes and asked: "How is it?"
Yasu replied: "It's passable."
Although Kakashi was wearing a mask, one could feel that he must have a small, dejected face.
"Then can you show me your Thunderclap and Flash?"
Yasu nodded slightly. He was originally going to let Kakashi see his strength, so of course he would show it to him.
He slightly arched his body and his body erupted with dazzling lightning, the ground beneath his feet had already sunk down.
"Thunder Breathing, First Form: Thunderclap and Flash!"
He burst out in one breath, performing an extremely fast drawing sword slash at a speed that the naked eye couldn't capture.
In the blink of an eye, he had reached a very far distance, and with a single slash, a large tree that required three people to encircle was instantly cut off.
Kakashi looked at Yasu with his mouth slightly open, shocked.
