'I am glad I can use my EMS.' Sasuke was thankful to have his advantsge, as he would be too bored of training more than 4 hours until he succeeded.
On the other side, other two have also finished it; Naruto was abusing yhe mechanic of multiple shadow clone jutsu and Sakura who was using her inherent talent in chakra control.
"Good job, yo guys have already managed to do it one day." Kakashi clapped, seeing them as prodigies rather than spiritual succesor to his first team.
"Now after taking some rest, practise again with only one leg."
Before Naruto refute, Kakashi body flickered away.
Sakura pet Naruto and consoled him to get used to it, while Naruto wondered what happened to Sakura and Sasuke all of a sudden.
'Honestly felt like a dream, until Sakura punched me to wake up in the morning for breakfast.'
She now remind her a lady he dream of, who give him a warm smile.
'....I swear I-I seen her....somewhere...'
****
All three after training sat next to each other and ate food from their bento.
Sasuke had pork rice with generous portion of tomato curry and generous portion of seared chicken.
Sakura and Naruto had side of rice with pickles, pickles radish, rice ball with fish filling, couple of grilled sardines and food that resembles like croquette that had chicken filling.
'She worked quite hard.'
Sasuke not sure whether Sakura is trying to redeem herself for him or she genuinely began to care Naruto after hearing his condition and seeing Naruto apartment.
'If she and Kakashi began to change, then what if...'
Sasuke resumed eating and feared to think about it.
His main advantage was knowing the timeline, but after triggering the butterfly effect with or without his intention, he slowly losing his advatage.
Sasuke sighed and murmurered:"I guess have to get stronger and smarter to overcome it as it supposed to happen sooner or later"
After having their meal and suggesting eating spots they should try out, they resumed their training.
Kakashi who was staying in sideline was observing them.
'Sasuke try to have a arrogant and cold font while Naruto try to have a lazy and cheerful font.'
Sakura was truest among them, having no baggage in her life.
'Sometimes I wondered whether miserable people like us prefer having a font unconsciously, to appear fine to other...' Kakashi thought, who was getting sick of keeping his one over 5 years.
After they managed to do it within 2 hours, the boogeyman, Kakashi quickly came in front of them and instructed them to do this with hands instead and if they finished they should procced doing with one hand.
And body flickereked away before they complain, where all three looked at each other and sighed turner to head towards the tree.
'Back to training.'
***
'When I said I want to be an Anby commander, did he began to train us like an Anbu?!'
Sasuke was frustrated for having an aching body after grueling training but his also glad Kakashi was serious at training them, as Sasuke feared they all will stagnate if they done without instruction as his can't blindly trust EMS like last time.
Sakura on the other hand, was sleeping on the tree bark, exhausted from training.
While Naruto, seemed to be lost in thoughts.
'Being a shinobi is not easy like the old man said '
Sasuke always assumed that either Ashura chakra or his bloodline or both are slowing down the rate of him being tired.
While Sasuke was about to use his EMS to see his progrwss ,Kakashi walked inside training ground, watched Naruto and Sakura before his eyes met Sasuke who quickly switch it back to his normal eyes.
"They are quite tired."
"Training was not easy." Sauke said, being honest of the gruelling training they all face.
"You sure?"
"You guys are quite quick, not only finished standard Genjn training within 4 hours, you guys also finished whole standard pre-Anbu training within a day." Kakashi praised them, believing they would grow into fine shinobi.
Sasuke nod, amd felt pleased he was effort was acknowledge.
Kakashi then recalled today and asked :"What was you chakra affinity?"
"Lightning."
Kakashi raised his eyes brows at Sasuke.
'This kid was fighting with a handicap.'
Kakashi assumed he might have fire and even wind affinity just like Fugaku, Itachi and Shinsui had.
So Kakashi was impressed by his feat and concluded he lacked a lightning jutsu scroll or else he would perform it considering his speed of casting jutsu.
"How many chakra element you can convert into?"
"4, where the forth is water"
"Why 4?"
"I was thinking of expanding my arsenal so I learned my best to learn four, though it is lot of difficult than imagine." Sasuke scracthes his head, feeling like an idiot to bother to use EMS for that, as spreading too thin is never good idea.
'Well no one taught him, so its normal to make mistake.' Kakashi have learned 1000 jutsu, but he only use around 20-30 and some of them were just variation of the same jutsu.
"Anyway, why do you wear mask ask sensei?" Sasuke questioned, since he never found a good reason, as mask that only covers the mouth that does helped much compare to mask Obito wears.
Kakashi, felt embarrased and truthfully replied: "Just like you, I had fangirls so I cover my face-up so that when pass-by without my mask no one recognished me."
It was one of the innocents moment in his life, when he had his father in home.
Sasuke can see blank face of Kakashi, realising he was remembering his past.
'Hope whatever you are remembering isn't painful.' Sasuke hoped, who recall Kakashi life.
"Anyway, tomorrow come to nearby river stream, this is your guys last chakra control training will take place."
"So don't overstress yourself for today."
Sasuke nod, while Naruto sighed and lied on the field out of exhaustion.
Sakura was sleeping peacefully, unaware of the headache she will feel tomorrow.
Kakashi left using his body flicker while Sasuke was looking at sky, thinking which eating place he should go that also have parcel option, so that Naruto can taste it.

"So you are saying the team is even unqualify to take simple D mission?" 3rd Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi asked his trusted man, Kakashi who was reading Icha Icha novel.
"Yes, Lord 3rd, I need to train them upto to the mark." Kakashi said with a blank face while reading the book with great attention.
"But why denying all D mission to them?"
"In my opinion, they are worst team I seen, even worse than the one I failed but considering them, I could not failed them." Kakashi sighed and pretending as if he was carrying a burden.
Kakashi continued:"Considering they lack any unity, they will messed up all D mission, which could have given to any other team or corps."
Hiruzen sighed, now regretting having this oversight when making this team even after seeing report of them.
While D rank mission pays least money, it is important since its used as a for of propaganda to ensure civilian that shinobi are not the enemy, whose effects varies but still an effective marketing tool that appeases Fire Daimyo and delegates.
"Then why are you suggesting to assign them straight to C rank mission?"
"Because those mission will help them to understand reality of this world and would have a sense of urgency to cooperate." Kakashi pointed out how it is effective for an uncooperative team, pulling scrolls that contains report of all Genin teams and Genin corps that had better attitude and unity after doing countless C rank mission.
Hiruzen felt weird vibes from Kakashi today, but ignored it and agreed that C-mission does promote mental growth of shinobi.
"Fine, Kakashi, I take your word but do you best to train them enough for the next Chūnin Exams."Hiruzen did want to use them to slightly shown off millitary capability of the leaf, boosting their reputation in land of fire and boosting growth of Konoha which not recovered to its old prime since this is also a year where all other clan heirs has graduated.
Kakashi nod shamelessly, not fearing lies he told.
'Hope Danzo relaxesband focus on elsewhere or else it would be harder to protect those 3, especially Sakura from him.'
