Naruto: Chakra System

Kakashi closed his eye, focusing his chakra. "Well," he noted, "I don't feel like my chakra has increased in any way. Maybe it's the system's effect that makes me not feel anything different, and the increased chakra just seems normal."

He shrugged and then removed his forehead protector from his left eye and pulled down his face mask. He walked toward a small basin filled with water.

Splash!

Cupping his hands, he splashed the cold liquid onto his face. The shock of the chilled water jolted him awake. Though he hadn't slept last night, reading Icha Icha Paradise for hours had tired his eye, making it blink slowly.

With a splash of cold water, his eyes snapped wide open. Next, he picked up a towel and his toothbrush, then walked towards the bathroom.

Brrr!

He turned on the shower. Icy cold water, in the middle of summer, sent shivers running through his body.

Drip!

Drip!

Drip!

After taking a slow bath, he stepped out, water dripping from his body and silver hair, creating small puddles on the wooden floor. His left eye glowed with the detailed pinwheel-like pattern of his Mangekyō Sharingan. A jagged scar ran down his face, cutting across the corner of that Sharingan eye.

He reached for another small, clean, white towel, quickly drying his body with quick movements. The towel soaked up the extra water, leaving his skin damp but not dripping. He then ran his fingers through his wet, silver hair, trying to tame the wild strands before picking out his usual clothes.

He put on Konoha's standard Jōnin outfit; a green flak jacket, dark blue pants, and a long-sleeved shirt. He also wore fingerless gloves with metal plates on the back of his hands and a chain necklace hidden underneath.

Covering his left eye with his Konoha's forehead protector, with leaf design in it and pulling up his face mask, which was part of his sleeveless top under his flak jacket. He mused, "I'm ready for the day now, but what should I do? From my memories, I recall that I just finished an A-rank mission a few days ago."

"So, doing another mission wouldn't be good until Hiruzen calls for me and tells me I will be the Jōnin sensei of Team 7, including the newly graduated Genin, Naruto and Sasuke."

He thought for a bit and decided to visit Might Guy first, his eternal rival and true friend. Though Kakashi usually ignored him, mostly because of his solitude personality, but he wouldn't make that mistake now.

Besides, he would also get to meet Neji Hyūga, Rock Lee, and Tenten. With this decision, he walked out of his house, shut the door behind him, and vanished in a flicker.

—

He knew that Might Guy woke up early, and even if he didn't, it was already 8 AM. Guy would definitely be training his team.

With his quick Body Flicker technique, Kakashi found Guy training his Genin team in Training Ground 25 within a few minutes. On his way, he also met a few ANBU members and other ninja, who nodded respectfully to him.

In the training ground, Guy's very loud and excited voice could be heard. "Lee, don't let your YOUTH waver! You're close to finishing 5,000 push-ups! If you can't do it, you have to run around the training ground for 100 laps while doing a handstand!"

Another equally loud and excited voice responded, "YES! GUY-SENSEI!" This was Guy's most proud student, Rock Lee. Guy stood on the ground, wearing his tight green spandex with Konoha's standard Jōnin flak jacket open over it.

His eyes, under his thick bushy brows, scanned his other two students. Neji was only a few meters away, practicing his clan's special Taijutsu, the Gentle Fist Art. His Byakugan was active, veins bulging around his white eyes, giving him the menacing look.

Just besides of him sat Tenten, under a tree shades, with her big storage scroll, adjusting her bun hairstyle, looking towards Neji.

Might Guy immediately sensed a familiar presence as Kakashi entered the training ground and walked leisurely towards him from behind. Guy looked back and shouted with excitement, "KAKASHI, MY YOUTHFUL RIVAL! HAHAHA! It's surprising to see you here!"

Kakashi waved his hand in greeting and said, "Morning, Guy. Training your students, huh?"

Guy replied with a nod, "Yes, I just had my students finish their warm-up. We'll have a sparring competition in next hour."

Kakashi nodded and looked at the three Genin, thinking with a laugh, 'Guy and Lee really look more like a father-son duo than teacher-student.'

Guy stepped forward and put his hand on Kakashi's shoulder. "Kakashi," he asked, "How about we have a spar? My students might also learn a thing or two from our duel!"

Kakashi's brow furrowed. Even though he would like to spar with Guy, now was not the time. So, he refused. "Sorry, Guy, not now. But I promise we'll have a spar next week when I have my own team."

Guy's eyes sparkled, and he let out a heartily laugh. "Hahaha! Then it's a date! And I'm 100% sure that Hokage-sama will give you the best Genin squad from the newly graduated Genin!"

Kakashi sighed internally and thought, 'Yeah, the best Genin squad, including a loud teenage blonde Jinchūriki and a brooding Uchiha.'
