After a good night's rest and missing dinner, they woke up in the morning with empty stomachs. Luckily, Fuyo woke up early to buy food for everyone using the money she borrowed from Akira's wallet.
Knock! Knock!
"It's open," Akira said, as they were having breakfast in his room. The guest was Sasuke. Akira was confused and asked, "What brings you here?"
Sasuke replied, "Weren't you gonna teach me?"
"Oh, I almost forgot about it," Akira said. He ate faster to finish his breakfast and got ready. "Let's go."
He walked out of the room to see Kakashi reading his book in the hallway. He gave him a nod, and then the three of them walked to the training ground.
"Before I teach you, I want to know about your chakra affinity," Akira asked.
"What is chakra affinity?" Sasuke asked.
"You don't know your chakra affinity? Then why did you practice lightning and fire release?" Akira asked.
"Well, fire release was taught to me as a family tradition, while Chidori was taught by Kakashi-sensei," Sasuke answered. Akira looked at Kakashi, expressing his confusion.
"Cough... Well, since Sharingan can copy any jutsu, I decided to let him copy a suitable jutsu," Kakashi explained.
"So you let him use lightning jutsu without knowing if he had an affinity for it? You are a pretty crappy teacher, aren't you," Akira bluntly said. Kakashi gave an embarrassed laugh and got back to reading his book.
"It's not a laughing matter," Akira complained, but in the end, he let the topic go. He asked, "You have chakra paper, right? Give it to me."
Akira gave the chakra paper he got from Kakashi to Sasuke. He explained, "Pour some of your chakra into it."
Sasuke did it. The paper wrinkled instantly and then caught fire. Akira explained, "It shows you have a major affinity toward lightning and a minor one in fire. This means your lightning and fire jutsus will be easier to practice and control. You can also cultivate this affinity in another element, but it will always be less than your natural affinity."
Sasuke looked at him and asked, "So are you going to teach me lightning jutsus?"
"No, your Kakashi-sensei is way better at it than me. You can ask him to teach you later," Akira told him and then asked, "What I am going to teach you is a fire-release jutsu."
"You might have noticed, you aren't able to hit your enemies with your fireball jutsu," Akira said, still remembering that no enemies were killed by fire release in the anime and the fans made fun of it. It was true until the introduction of Madara.
"Observe it carefully, I am going to show it only once," Akira walked by the lakeside. He slowly weaved hand signs so Sasuke could get a good look. He took a deep breath and spat out a wide wall of fire. The massive wall of fire kept moving forward, skimming the lake.
Sizzle!
Sasuke looked at the wide-scale fire jutsu and instantly understood its advantage. He was excited to try it as his Sharingan had already recorded Akira's hand signs. Before letting him try, Akira told him some precautions, "This jutsu is inherently unstable. Make sure to keep its shape. It also consumes a lot of chakra, so keep an eye on your chakra reserve."

While Sasuke was practicing his jutsu, Akira sat beside Kakashi and asked, "So, what's the plan?"
Kakashi was confused, "What plan?"
Akira: "Well, what are you going to teach your genins?"
"Oh, them. Naruto will learn from Jiraiya-sama, Sakura from Tsunade-sama, while Sasuke will go on missions with me," Kakashi explained.
Akira was surprised. He always had the impression that Kakashi was the hands-off type of teacher. He only helped students when they asked for it. His clear planning showed he cared more about his students than he showed. Akira apologized, "Sorry, Kakashi. I never knew you were such a good teacher. I apologize for telling people you were a crappy teacher, only read erotic books, and had unclear relationships with male colleagues. I promise, I will not spread these rumors anymore."
Kakashi was amazed at how accurate yet inaccurate Akira was. He took a deep breath and could only say, "Okay??"
"Akira-nii san," Naruto was running toward him while Koemi and Team Ajisai followed him.
Naruto looked at Sasuke, who was training. He also wanted to train and not be left behind by Sasuke. He looked at Akira, "Can you train me too?"
Akira agreed. It was not difficult to teach one more. Akira felt his shirt pull. He looked to see Koemi looking at him. Akira showed a questioning expression, and she turned his face to his genin. Akira immediately understood his mistake.
"Suiren, Ajisai, Fuyo. Why are you just standing there? We are out of our village, but it doesn't mean you can't train." His three genin showed their uninterest, but their fast walking revealed their eagerness.

Meanwhile, in a hidden location just outside Konoha, another meeting was taking place. Orochimaru was studying some samples brought by his partner in crime.
"So, do you have any idea how to kill it?" the spectacled man with a sword asked.
"Of course. But you will need to give me something in return for it," Orochimaru asked. He knew the man was a treasure trove of unobtainable knowledge.
"Don't mistake us as partners. I am the only reason you can still use jutsus," the spectacled man told him in a condescending tone.
"And I am thankful for that, but I am only doing this for you. I get nothing out of it," Orochimaru told him. Seeing the situation at a standstill, the spectacled man took out a scroll, "This contains around 20 different types of cloned Sharingans."
"That will be enough for now." Orochimaru took the scroll. He walked to the wall and pushed a brick in the wall. A door appeared on the wall, and they walked in. Inside the lab, there were many nutritional tanks with many grotesque species inside them.
He walked to a table and showed him a test tube filled with blue liquid. Orochimaru explained, "When I saw the bijuu, my first thought was how it was still alive. Its body was so hot it should have cooked itself. Then I studied its blood and found an organic compound that carries the heat from inside its body to the surface and expels it out."
He looked at the test tube and continued, "If we can put more of this in its blood, it will make the beast expel more energy than it produces, causing its internal organs to cool down and die."
"So how much of this will we have to inject?" the spectacled man asked.
"Well, according to its size, this much." Orochimaru showed him his calculation. The man was surprised to see 1500 kg, "This is a lot."
"It is only 0.009% of its blood. This is not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is you have to store it in a constantly changing temperature so it makes it difficult to inject it. Knowing you, I am sure you can do it without the bijuu even knowing about it. But I don't think you will do it, will you?" Orochimaru grinned.
"What I plan to do is not your concern," the spectacled man said after taking his research and the organic compound. He snapped his fingers. A line appeared in mid-air, widening to show an infinite void in space. The man walked inside, and then the portal closed.
In a room of Konoha's hospital, the same passage appeared, and the man walked out of it. After he walked out, the passage closed.
Knock! Knock!
The man opened the door to see Shizune outside. She asked, "Sorry for disturbing, Aizen-sama. But all the Kage have reached Konoha, so Tsunade is asking for a report on all the discoveries by your department so that she can get it ready for the Kage summit."
"Of course. We have learned a great deal about the beast. Give me a few minutes, and I will summarize it in a report," Aizen answered with a smile, thinking he would be able to profit a lot from this conflict.
