Inside the ruined temple.
Kakashi's jaw nearly hit the floor!
Naruto and the others looked even more horrified, trembling as they stared at Ye Liang like he was some kind of monster!
"That's impossible! This place is over eight thousand meters from where we were before, and this temple faces away from us! How could you possibly hit a statue inside here with your shuriken!" Kakashi immediately challenged.
"Are you planning on cheating?"
Ye Liang smiled casually.
Truth be told, no ordinary person could achieve such pinpoint accuracy or reach such a distance.
But!
Was Ye Liang an ordinary person?
With the System's enhancement, his power had reached a terrifying level of 766!
His Ninjutsu level was 7—others barely reached 6!
A score of 7 equaled the strength of Kaguya Hime in this world—the final boss! With such terrifying might, how could a mere shuriken miss?
Therefore!
Ye Liang had cheated.
Earlier, while walking over, he'd quickly used [Flying Thunder God Technique] to switch places with the shuriken, then employed [Shifting Body Technique] to embed it precisely into the foot of the Buddha statue inside the ruined temple.
Since everything happened in pitch-black night, the last-placed Ye Liang hadn't been noticed. As for the ruined temple itself, he had simply spotted it along the way.
Kakashi's expression instantly darkened.
He had originally planned to show off his skills in front of this smart-ass Ye Liang.
After all, Team 7 had recently suffered a heavy blow; if he could let his students witness their teacher's strength, perhaps he could restore their confidence.
But his plan had failed.
"So? Convinced yet? Just call me Master," Ye Liang said.
"No way! I don't believe you actually did that!" Kakashi refused, though his voice came out hoarse and lacked any real conviction.
Hitting such a precise target from such an incredible distance wasn't just about physical ability—it must've involved some special method.
The simplest explanation would be collusion—Ye Liang performed upfront while someone else helped secretly behind him.
But that couldn't be right!
Because Kakashi had come up with this challenge on the spot. Even if Ye Liang knew others, there'd been no time to prepare help in advance.
Then…
Space-Time Ninjutsu!
Kakashi pieced it together in an instant!
This Ye Liang claimed to be Minato's younger brother—so it made sense that he might know Space-Time Ninjutsu.
Minato Namikaze, Naruto's father, had gained fame through his personally refined version of [Flying Thunder God Technique].
[Flying Thunder God] was a space-based jutsu.
Although the technique originally belonged to Minato, it wasn't impossible for him to have taught it to his younger brother after learning it himself!
Right!
It must be this!
Kakashi now had a general idea but lacked proof, so he couldn't directly accuse Ye Liang.
"In that case, since you've got no evidence, you should address me as Master already."
Ye Liang waved his hand casually.
They were finally at the final step!
The reason Ye Liang set this condition? His mission.
To openly teach Team 7 advanced ninja techniques, he needed a suitable justification. After all, he wasn't currently a Konoha advisor, and even interacting with the kids required special permission.
Kakashi's face darkened, but the members of Team 7 immediately started cheering.
"Call him one! Call him one!"
It felt like those lovebirds getting teased back in the day. Ye Liang oddly felt as if they were suggesting "kiss one?"
Kiss who?
Kakashi?
"Ol... Old teacher!"
Kakashi finally called out, clearly embarrassed.
If he were alone, he might have resisted, but with so many eyes watching, he really had no choice!
Men and their egos—go figure!
"Haha, interesting," Ye Liang suddenly said, delighted.
With Kakashi calling him teacher just now, Ye Liang's main quest progress bar instantly jumped by twenty percent!
So this was how the mission worked!
Ye Liang mused briefly.
If calling him teacher once earned twenty percent, then all four members of Team 7 together would bring it to eighty percent!
As for the final twenty points, that must be bonus rewards based on teaching performance.
"Well then, since you're willing to accept me as your teacher, I'll teach you a ninjutsu," Ye Liang said solemnly.
He considered which technique he had learned before that would suit Kakashi, and suddenly remembered his own Flying Thunder God jutsu.
The Flying Thunder God was originally the signature technique of Kakashi's teacher. Now it was only appropriate to pass it through his hands to Kakashi.
"How about the Flying Thunder God? Want to learn it?"
[The Flying Thunder God?]
Kakashi's expression changed dramatically. So this guy truly relied on the Flying Thunder God to get by.
He knew it!
Just as he was about to expose Ye Liang's trickery, a sudden idea struck him.
But this was the Flying Thunder God—the legendary technique!
Kakashi could copy nearly any ninjutsu using his Sharingan, but the S-ranked Flying Thunder God was something he absolutely couldn't master.
Once a technique reached S-rank, it marked a major dividing line.
S-ranked techniques weren't just immensely powerful; their learning difficulty was also extremely high.
Take the Flying Thunder God, for example.
One didn't simply need to learn its usage method; one must understand certain spatial theories, master the Flying Thunder God's cursed seals, engraving methods, and also undergo body training to endure spatial changes...
In short, an ordinary ninja definitely couldn't master the Flying Thunder God.
So Kakashi relented.
"Thank you, teacher."
Naruto couldn't believe his eyes—Kakashi actually bowed deeply to Ye Liang!
"Now activate your Sharingan and learn carefully!"
Ye Liang nodded.
Afterwards,
After passing all the theory to Kakashi, Ye Liang turned his gaze to the pitiful-looking Naruto and others.
"Uncle! You're my real uncle! [Teach me an S-ranked ninjutsu too!]" Naruto lunged forward, hugging Ye Liang's leg tightly. Haruno Sakura also wore a shy expression.
"Uncle, how about teaching me too?"
Their intentions were obvious enough.
"Fine! You all? Fine, I'll teach every last one of you!"
Ye Liang agreed repeatedly.
Considering the mission's completion rate, there was no way he wouldn't teach them now!
Afterwards,
Eventually, Ye Liang taught Naruto the Tailed Beast Ball.
Because Naruto already had the Nine-Tails inside him, he could easily use this technique simply by borrowing the Nine-Tails' chakra.
Sakura Haruno.
Ye Liang taught her some advanced Medical Ninjutsu techniques, but considering mission completion, he also passed on the general methodology of [Yin Seal]. Although she lacked the superhuman strength attribute, through [Creation Rebirth], he'd essentially let her learn it ahead of schedule.
Now, about Sasuke...
Ye Liang's eyes turned serious.
Sasuke had yet to approach Ye Liang because of pride.
However, Ye Liang didn't care about such trivial reputation. Even if Sasuke never came asking, he would still teach him Ninjutsu.
After all, the mission was there...
But!
What truly concerned Ye Liang was another matter entirely.
Sasuke's psychological trauma!
Within this dimension, Itachi Uchiha had indeed slaughtered the entire Uchiha clan. As the sole survivor, Sasuke had completely turned dark. Unless Ye Liang dealt with Sasuke's emotional wounds, there was no way the mission could succeed completely.
Because no matter how powerful someone becomes filled with hatred, they can never become a true master.
Ye Liang had decided—he would tell him the truth!
