'This… The current peak of my body is around 1000 points in each attribute… Just how much stronger am I going to get with this talent?' Wondered Bakorio with an excited glint in his eyes before he directly used his dark chakra to start training and strengthening his emaciated body and not even a second later, he was covered in a pitch black cocoon, for a long long time...

…

Meanwhile, A few days later in a heavily protected location in the land of fire, in the first ninja academy to be created to train anyone fit to use chakra from the civilians that lived in the land of fire, one of Bakorio's true clones that acted as a teacher was currently observing Kazuki and Sogetsu who just returned from their missions and were asking for his advice and Kazuki was the first to speak

"Teacher, I learned how to use Boil release during this mission! That wolf pack melted in an instant hahahaha"

'This guy… He already had the Kekkei genkai of scorch release and lava release, and now he even learned how to use Boil release… What is he going to learn next? Blaze release and start spamming it randomly' Wondered Bakorio before he turned to the calm Sogetsu who also reported his shocking achievement as if fearful that his teacher would think that his brother was better than him

"Teacher, I also learned Boil release!" Spoke Sogetsu and Bakorio couldn't help but frown 'Now they both can use 3 Kekkei Genkai and they only lack one each… One lacks Light release and the other lack storm release… was I right with my guess regarding their origins?'

As Bakorio was deep in thought, he didn't forget to praise them both and it seemed like it made them both happy but Kazuki suddenly grinned and said "Now I can defeat you teacher! You can't boss me around anymore"

Sogetsu frowned when he heard this and almost froze Kazuki on the spot as he spoke coldly "Kazuki, show some respect to our teacher!"

"What! I'm just stating the facts, Teacher is strong, but he can't use as much Kekkei genkai as we do… With our talent, it's a matter of time before we surpass him!" Spoke Kazuki arrogantly...

"YOU!" The calm Sogetsu was truly enraged as his peaceful disposition was covered with waves of chakra reflecting his anger but Bakorio simply smiled and said

"I must say, you are indeed extremely 'Gifted' for being able to reach your current level that can allow you to fight Kage level ninja. However, you are still far from surpassing your teacher"

"Let's see then!" yelled Kazuki not convinced before he did some hand signs "Boil release: Deadly Cloud Jutsu!"

Kazuki inhaled deeply before he exhaled a giant invisible cloud made of boil release that could even melt something as tough as a Susanoo!

"You idiot!" Sogetsu was about to rush and defend in front of Bakorio but he suddenly felt a hand landing on his shoulder stopping him and he could see Bakorio smirking and say "Don't worry, this is child's play"

Kazuki seemed enraged by this and increased the intensity of his attack by releasing much more boiling gas at Bakorio.

However, to his and to Sogetsu's surprise, Bakorio calmly walked through his attack "CAREFUL TEACHER!"

Yelled Sogetsu, yet he soon found that it wasn't needed as no matter how much Kazuki tried, his chakra simply didn't seem to want to follow his command as the cloud of burning gas opened a path for Bakorio to pass through…

"T-This… How's this possible! Why can you control my chakra?" yelled Kazuki with disbelief covering his face and Sogetsu had a similar look on his face…

'The effect of my newly acquired Fire and water manipulation is quite good, they can even effect Kekkei Genkai… although I'm pretty sure that this is only possible thanks to my energy control and Kazuki's low chakra quality…' Observed Bakorio silently and concluded that he needs to raise the level of these skills in the future just in case since he could already feel how hard it is to deal with the current Kazuki…

Then, the smile suddenly disappeared from his face as he said "You truly never learn do you…"

"I-I-I" Before Kazuki could say anything, a highly compressed earth sword manifested in Bakorio's hand and he sent Kazuki flying with it where he ended up smashing into the wall and lost consciousness…

'Brother couldn't even transform his body into fire to dodge… Teacher probably did something to stop him…'

"Take him to the hospital Sogetsu…" Spoke Bakorio calmly before taking his leave and Sogetsu calmly bowed while saying "Thank you for going easy on my brother" And watched his teacher's lonely back fade into the distance before he went to pick Kazuki up and took him to the hospital…

…

Later that day, Kazuki woke up in his hospital bed with a bewildered look on his face, although he wasn't surprised with his current location since he was used to getting sent here to the point that he recognized most of the nurses and doctors…

"Kazuki-kun, you are finally awake… It seems like you angered Bakorio-san again" Spoke the woman that healed his injuries and came to check on him again… Surprisingly, it was Nono Yakushi, Kabuto's adoptive mother!

"Nono-san… Hmph, I did nothing, he's just bad!" Spoke Kazuki while staring to the side to avoid looking at her directly, but Nono simply patted him on the head gently making him blush as she said with a smile "Yes Yes, I'm sure it was all Bakorio-san's fault right?"

"Y-yes" Replied Kazuki without looking at her, although it was clear that he was lying from how hesitant he was speaking…

However, Sogetsu suddenly appeared beside him and punched him in the head hard enough to make sure that it would swell up before he spoke "You idiot, when will you grow up!"

"Sogetsu! you bastard want to fight?" Yelled Kazuki as the two brothers butted heads with each other as they exchanged glares but Nono suddenly held them both by the ears and separated them from each other

"Ouch ouch ouch, Nono-san please stop!" Spoke the two brothers at the same time showing just how similar they were despite their differences but Sogetsu suddenly said "Nono-san, you shouldn't be nice to him, he has been attacking our teacher whenever he grows even a bit stronger, one day he might kill him if this goes on!"

Nono froze slightly when she heard what Sogetsu said before she turned to Kazuki and noticed his lowered head and asked "Why are you doing this, Kazuki-kun?"

Seeing the serious and angry look on her face made Kazuki annoyed so he carelessly said "Why do you care? He's just a teacher who happened to develop a new method for training ninja that's al-"

Before Kazuki could finish what he was saying, Nono suddenly slapped him and left him wondering what just happened "Nono-san…" Asked Kazuki in bewilderment while staring at Nono's tearful eyes and he couldn't understand what was the cause of her reaction…

"Bakorio-san is not any teacher, and he didn't just happen to find a method to train ninja… He's my savior, and I wouldn't be here if not for him!"

"Savior?" Asked Kazuki in bewilderment while holding the cheek that he just got slapped on, and even Sogetsu was surprised by her words

"Yes, Bakoio-san saved my life in the past, and do you know how old he was when he did that?" asked Nono suddenly surprising Kazuki and Sogetsu and the former simply shook his head as he suddenly realized something

"There's no mention of teacher's age anywhere in the records of Konoha's ninja academy or the current academy… Why's that?"

Sogetsu frowned slightly as he thought 'This bastard investigated teacher?' He really wanted to beat the living shit out of his brother but he held himself back as he heard Nono say

"Of course you won't find anything on him because he never entered the academy as a student, end even his registration as a teacher was specially made by the Hokage..."

"Why?" Asked Kazuki curiously completely forgetting about his burning cheek and Nono suddenly dropped a bomb on him and Sogetsu "That's because Bakorio-san is only 11 or 12 years old currently… He's of the same generation as the two of you…"

Kazuki and Sogetsu suddenly felt their minds going blank and he suddenly recalled how he mocked his teacher 'With our potential, we will surpass you sooner or later…'
