"Anyway, there aren't any missions to do lately!" Kakashi thought for a moment and agreed to help. The Third Hokage had given him a long vacation, and since he had nothing else to do, it wouldn't hurt to improve his strength. After all, his progress in strength over the years was as slow as a turtle.

The others also agreed. If the plan succeeded, they could improve their strength. If it failed, there wouldn't be much loss.

"Very well, then let's start with chakra extraction. Kakashi, you'll need to explain this to us," Sakura nodded and handed the responsibility of teaching chakra extraction to Kakashi.

"Alright..." Kakashi sighed. He really wanted to take out his adult magazine and lie down under a tree, but with so many people looking at him with anticipation, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

Kakashi explained very seriously, and Sakura and the others listened attentively. Kakashi's strength was evident, and his explanation was simple and easy to understand. Even Sakura, who knew nothing about chakra, could quickly understand what he meant.

It wasn't until noon that Kakashi stopped his lecture. After a lunch that left Kakashi's throat dry and the students' stomachs empty, they finally regained their energy.

"Now you can try extracting chakra!" Kakashi sat on the side, his right eye drooping like a dead fish, and his whole body exuding a decadent aura. Teaching was really tiring.

"Kakashi, come over here too!" Sakura waved her hand and called Kakashi over. The group sat in a circle, holding hands and sitting cross-legged on the ground, and began to extract chakra.

Perhaps because the Power Stone could control all energy, Sakura soon felt a magical energy forming within her body. Compared to the energy in the Infinity Stones, this power was very weak, but it had a unique effect.

For example, Sakura could clearly feel several different chakras around her, some strong and some weak. These different chakras also gave off different feelings. Kakashi's chakra had a fierce lightning-like aura and an unusually sad feeling. The chakras of Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Izumi, and Sasuke, on the other hand, had a colder feeling, but Shisui's was the strongest, followed by Itachi's, then Uchiha Izumi's. Sasuke's chakra was the least cold, but it was particularly pure. Sakura quickly realized that this cold feeling probably came from the Sharingan. As for why Sasuke's chakra was the least cold but particularly pure, it was probably due to the chakra of Indra, the ancestor of the Uchiha clan and the son of the Six Paths Sage. Indra's Yin Release chakra was probably purer and stronger than that of his descendants.

However, the chakras of these four Uchiha clan members also had different feelings due to differences in their thoughts and emotions. Shisui's chakra was full of all-encompassing love, Itachi's was warm like a flame, and Uchiha Izumi's was gentle. Sasuke's chakra gave people a feeling of kindness and gentleness.

In contrast to the cold feeling of the Uchiha Four, there was a hot, sun-like aura emanating from Naruto on Sakura's right. It was full of vitality and energy, but there was also a very irritable feeling within it. This was probably due to the chakra of the Nine-Tailed Fox sealed within Naruto.

Thinking of what the Six Paths Sage said in the original work, "Chakra is the power that connects souls," Sakura began to understand why everyone's chakra had a different feeling. Each person's chakra was related to their own soul. Kakashi's affinity was for Lightning Release, so his chakra also had a fierce lightning-like aura. As for the sad feeling, it was probably related to Obito Uchiha and Rin.

Without thinking too much, Sakura extracted chakra while slowly mobilizing the energy stored in her soul gem, mixing it with chakra and spreading it outwards through her hands.

The Soul Gem contained an enormous amount of energy. However, Sakura was worried about losing control of the gem's power and the physical limitations of the people around her. Therefore, she only used a small amount of energy.

Although the energy inside the Soul Gem was stronger than chakra, it surprisingly mixed well with chakra. Sakura used chakra to transfer the energy from the Soul Gem to the bodies of the others.

The first chakra extraction did not last long, only a few hours. As the sun set, the golden sunlight shone on the group of people, making it look like they were holding a solemn ceremony.

"Kakashi, what's wrong?" Sakura stopped extracting chakra and saw Kakashi sitting there with a blank expression, as if he had become stupid.

"My Sharingan is consuming less chakra!" Kakashi was shocked. His Sharingan had been consuming a lot of his chakra, making it difficult for him to engage in prolonged battles. He could only fight quickly and decisively. However, he felt that the Sharingan was consuming less chakra than before, even if it was just a tiny amount. As someone who was used to consuming a lot of chakra, Kakashi was very sensitive to this change.

"It seems that my idea is feasible!" Sakura thought to herself. In the movie Avengers: Age of Ultron, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver's abilities came from the Soul Gem. She had only wanted to try it out, but it seemed to work.

"Don't worry about this small change for now. Let's observe it slowly in the future!" Sakura suppressed her excitement. If this method really worked, Naruto and his friends could evolve special abilities, making it easier to solve future crises.

"Good!" Kakashi nodded. He was glad that he had not refused the Third Hokage's offer because of the trouble caused by the Sharingan. Although the Sharingan was a "token of love" left to him by Obito Uchiha, the consumption of chakra was a headache for him. He would feel mentally exhausted after using the Sharingan for a short time, and in severe cases, he might even faint. However, he could not give up this eye. Sakura's method gave him hope that he could solve the problem of Sharingan consumption without giving up this "token of love."
