Chapter 124 The Confused Father and Son
Hatake Sakumo's home.
This is a warm one-family building. Although the layout of the two-story building is not a mansion, it is small and well-equipped.
Today's Hatake clan is withered, and only Hatake Sakumo and Kakashi are already a single lineage.
Hatake Sakumo wiped his white tooth dagger, and looked at the photos on the dining table with tender eyes. This was a ritual he had to do every day.
In a small photo frame, a woman with a gentle appearance is smiling warmly at Shuo Mao, her eyes are full of peaceful love.
This woman is Kakashi's mother, who was once a ninja.
But when Kakashi was less than two years old, he went to Hidden Sand Village because of a mission, and never came back after that...
Hatake Sakumo sighed, feeling bored for a while.
"Keiko, if you're still here, you can definitely help me analyze the current situation and find out what I should do..."
Three generations of Hokage and Danzo, Fanma and Uchiha, the secret game of the major ninja clans, the alternative of Nine-Tails Jinchuriki...
Today's Konoha is full of splendor, and various dramas are constantly being staged, making Hatake Sakumo dizzy and a little overwhelmed.
The CPU belonging to the brain is about to burn...
Hatake Sakumo is a relatively simple existence among Konoha ninjas, and has not received ninja education and high-level games.
Since graduating from Ninja School, he has been working in the Anbu. After fighting all the way, taking the enemy's blood and bones as his merits, he was promoted step by step, taking the most solid and clumsy path.
He exists as a sword, he doesn't need to think, he just needs to obey the orders of the third Hokage, and cuts at enemies one after another.
Although Hatake Sakumo possesses powerful force, in the eyes of various ninja clans and high-level officials, he is still a thug, and has not entered the real decision-making level.
He once felt something was wrong, but one task after another deprived him of the time to think, and the inertia brought about by his habits since childhood also made him gradually numb, immersed in this "regular" life...
However, the sudden emergence of Fan Ma broke Hatake Sakumo's wandering ninja career. After a long absence, he stayed in the village and experienced a life of doing nothing.
He is only used to chopping people, and now he can only practice knives at home as a "family cooking father" and cook for Kakashi.
During the mission in Caoyin Village last time, the first choice of the third Hokage was Hatake Sakumo.But at that time, he was playing in the Land of Birds with Daimyo of the Land of Fire, and had no time to come back, so he could only let Fan Ma take the lead.
But what followed, Fan Ma once again improved his combat power through the Bliss Box, which greatly frightened San Dai and others.
The precious Six Paths Noble Phantasm, Kirigakure's ninja sword, and these extremely important strategic resources have all become nutrients for Fan Ma and the Uchiha clan, while the Hokage family can't even drink a trace of soup.
This made the third generation change the usage of Hatake Sakumo's old scalper, and try not to arrange him to do some less important tasks, in case no one can assign them at critical moments.
The end of Uzumaki Mito is approaching, and the intensification of the conflict between Fanma and Danzo makes the third Hokage decide to tie Hatake Sakumo to the village.
As an important security force, in case the Uchiha clan riots.
But people like Sakumo Hatake have nothing to do when they are free. They can only observe everything silently and gradually start to think.
With this thought, he discovered many problems that he had never noticed before, and opened the door to a new world.
"The attitude of the guards has changed from fierce to kind, but Konoha's law and order has deteriorated, but Uchiha's reputation has risen again..."
"Uchiha, who had the worst reputation in the village before, is now able to run the most popular commercial street in the Land of Fire..."
"The Hokage series, which has always represented the fundamental interests of Konoha, seems to have not provided enough resources to train the children of the ninja school, and has always been sticking to the bad street three-body art. This is the fundamental reason why Kakashi wants to graduate... "
Hatake Sakumo observed all this with great interest, but was troubled thinking about the reasons behind these questions. An answer that subverted his life flashed in his mind, but he was still not sure.
But sometimes, at night, he would think of his teammates who died tragically under the Sand Hidden Puppets on the battlefield of the Land of Winds because the Third Hokage ordered a forced charge.
Those fresh lives could only be rolled up hastily by the straw mats in the end, and most of them couldn't even return to Konoha's cemetery.
Hatake Sakumo conducted countless replays, carefully deducing the real situation of the battle at that time, but finally got a dilemma that he couldn't understand.
"Why did the third generation choose to attack Sand Hidden by force?"
"Why? The third generation of adults wants to transfer the safari troops to the border..."
"Why? Uchiha Fanma has such combat power, but he doesn't invest in the frontal battlefield. Isn't this the way to resolve this war early? Avoid those meaningless casualties..."
Those unfamiliar but familiar faces turned into bloody question marks, staring at Sakumo Hatake in his heart.
And Kato's emotions before his death also made him feel auditory hallucinations from time to time.
"So, this is Hokage..."
This samurai-like man has been driven crazy by this feeling recently.
He even wanted to draw his sword and go to the Uchiha clan, let Fan Ma punch his head off, and give himself a good time.
Just as Hatake Sakumo was struggling to think, the door of the house creaked open.
Kakashi went home.
"Father, I'm back..."
Kakashi walked into the house with a disheveled face, with some scorched marks on the corner of his clothes, and a sullen expression on his face.
A smile finally appeared on Hatake Sakumo's face. At present, only his own son can make him feel a little bit of reality.
Looking curiously at the traces of battle on Kakashi's body, he said with a slight smile:
"How is your study at Ninja School today? It seems that you have encountered some difficulties..."
Kakashi turned his head, as if he didn't want to answer this question, and said awkwardly:
"Father, I'm hungry..."
Hatake Sakumo shook his head helplessly, then pampered Kakashi's hair, ignoring his resistance.
He walked into the kitchen and brought out the dishes that were hot in the steamer.
As a martial artist at home, he can only work on cooking.
"The Hatake Clan, Konoha White Fang Special!"
"Dry fried river fish Sakumofu, and your favorite raw egg bibimbap!"
The small face under Kakashi's mask unconsciously twitched, and he sighed inwardly:
"Is this the food again? After all, I seem to have been eating river fish for 21 days in a row. I feel like eating something else..."
Silently walked to the dining table, picked up the chopsticks, clasped his hands together, and said softly:
"I'm gonna start now…"
Even at home, Kakashi stubbornly wore his mask, showing his wonderful eating method and speed.
Hatake Sakumo just looked at him calmly, with a slight warmth in his eyes, he didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with eating with a mask on.
But looking at Kakashi who was silent, he still felt a little lost in his heart.
"Kakashi's mother passed away too early, and my father, I don't seem to have any love in life..."
"Busy with tasks all day long, and didn't pay attention to his growth, maybe my father really failed..."
Sighing, he took out a wad of banknotes from his pocket and put them on the table.
"If there is anything you want to eat, go and buy some yourself..."
Kakashi raised his head in surprise, glanced at the thick banknote, and honestly took it with his little hand.
After a pause, he said sullenly:
"Father, in today's duel between me and Obito Uchiha, I didn't win."
"He took a strange ninja knife, which could release a large number of detonating charms, which almost blew up the ninja school. I couldn't get close to him."
Then, he told Shuo Mao carefully about the details of the fight.
Hatake Sakumo's eyes froze, he scratched his head with a wry smile, and said slowly:
"The sword with soil should be one of Kirigakure's seven ninja swords. Explosive Sword Spray is a very powerful ninja tool."
"Even I have to keep my spirits up against these guys."
"What a mess, Fan Majun... just handed over a precious ninja sword to a child like this? The black market price of Explosive Sword - Droplet must be at least 2000 million taels..."
As soon as the conversation changed, Sakumo commented on the battle that Kakashi had just mentioned.
"However, even if you discard that ninja sword, Obito's physical attainment should not be weaker than yours. It is not easy to use that big sword smoothly..."
Kakashi nodded silently.
Obito's progress in the past few days can be described as rapid.
Whether it is physical strength or the release of ninjutsu, they are improving rapidly, faintly showing a level beyond Kakashi.
Kakashi hesitated for a moment, then said:
"A few days ago, I lost to Konan from the Uchiha clan. She has a ninjutsu that can turn herself into pieces of paper. My sword technique can't hit her."
"Moreover, she can also transform the pieces of paper she transformed into detonators. I can't think of a way for me to defeat her..."
After Kakashi finished talking about his defeat, his tone relaxed, and his eyes looked forward to looking at his father.
These questions have troubled him for a long time.
Hatake Sakumo chuckled lightly, patted Kakashi's head, and felt the feeling of being a father for a long time.
"Thanks to those two children of the Uchiha clan, for giving me the opportunity to communicate closely with my son..."
"However, the talent of today's children is really exaggerated, especially the Uchiha clan, have there been two monster-like newcomers..."
After pondering for a while, he said slowly:
"Ninjutsu that can alienate one's own body is usually supported by Yangtun Chakra. The Xiaonan you mentioned should be a child with extraordinary talent in Yangtun, who has developed a new ninjutsu by himself."
"The Qiudao clan in the village is good at transforming from yang escape, using secret techniques to double their body size. Xiaonan's skills are even more advanced. Her form is almost immune to all physical attacks."
"As for the method of turning the piece of paper into a detonating talisman, I guess it should be that this secret technique reacted with Chakra, maybe it touched the threshold of the blood succession limit..."
Kakashi nodded suddenly, and exhaled heavily.
In the previous confrontation, Xiao Nan's paper ninjutsu brought him too much oppression.
The form that is immune to physical attacks, the ability to fly into the sky, and the secret killing that turns into a detonating talisman, the combination of these items, ordinary and special jonin can't handle it.
Not only is the ability strange, but Kakashi can't even understand the mechanism, which makes him feel a sense of unknown panic.
Kakashi looked at his father with admiration, and with only a few words of his own, he was able to solve the problems that had troubled him for several days.
Then he looked at Sakumo Hatake seriously, and asked urgently:
"So, how can I beat her?"
Hatake Sakumo shook his head and said in a positive tone:
"With your current strength and means, there is no way to confront it."
Kakashi's excited face suddenly cooled down, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he forcibly suppressed his inner frustration, but he didn't know what to say to his father next.
Hatake Sakumo saw the drastic change in Kakashi's face, and laughed heartily, ignoring his son with black lines all over his face.
"I just said that you can't fight the enemy with your current means, but I didn't say that you can't do it in the future..."
"Remember, my son. Your father is Hatake Sakumo, who is known as Konoha Hakuga, and has the sword skill to cut everything!"
Hatake Sakumo picked up the White Fang short knife on the side, just poured some chakra into it, and the sharp blade burst out suddenly!
Kakashi on the side watched this scene in surprise, staring closely at the blade that seemed to be able to tear everything apart.
Hatake Sakumo, who occasionally practiced against him, just held an ordinary wooden stick and gave him some pointers on his sword skills, but did not show his true strength.
"Even the aura on my father's body is so sharp..."
"Facing the enemy who chakratized his own limbs, of course he must use chakra methods to solve the problem."
"Kakashi, you, like me, have Chakra with all attributes, you must make good use of your own characteristics."
Fire, lightning, flowing water, black soil, hurricane...
The chakra wrapped around White Fang's dagger changes from time to time, showing different fighting styles.
Hatake Sakumo looked at his sluggish son with satisfaction, and continued indifferently:
"Although I don't know what attribute Chakra and secret technique Xiao Nan uses to combine, but with five attributes, we can always find a way to fight the enemy."
"And when your saber technique has been cultivated to a great degree, you only need to aim at your target and swing the strongest saber. This is an extreme speed that no secret technique can respond to."
Hatake Sakumo walked to his own yard, and then his whole body froze, he waved the White Fang dagger in his hand, and slashed at the sky seriously.
"Buzz!"
An arc-shaped slashing wave with a height of half a person was released from the White Fang dagger, and with a piercing whistling sound, it rushed into the sky at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
Kakashi opened his mouth slightly under the mask, deeply attracted by this cool scene.
"So, this is the real Hatake Sword Art..."
Hatake Sakumo sat back beside Kakashi, put the White Fang dagger in front of him, and said slowly:
"Since Obito has explosive sword spray, then you can use this White Fang."
A gleam of longing flashed in Kakashi's eyes, but he still looked at Sakumo tentatively without saying a word.
Hatake Sakumo sighed slightly and explained:
"The reason why White Fang is White Fang is because I am the one who uses it. If we say how precious this knife is, it is not entirely true..."
"I only hope that when you pick up this knife, you can concentrate on it and swing every knife seriously, so that you can cut everything, including the doubts in your heart."
Kakashi nodded seriously, although he didn't understand what it meant to cut off the doubts in his heart.
He just couldn't wait to pick up White Fang, and played with it curiously, a smile subconsciously formed on the corner of his mouth.
Although Kakashi is a precocious child, seeing his classmates have high-end ninja equipment, it is inevitable to want one. This is a very normal psychology.
Hatake Sakumo looked at Kakashi dotingly, and now he finally had a childish look on his body.
"Keiko, I won't bring this knife with me. I hope your spirit in heaven can protect our son..."
The white tooth dagger is not a famous sword handed down from generation to generation, but a dowry brought to Hatake's house by Keiko from a well-to-do family.
The reason why it has a slight reputation in the ninja world is because this sword has always been by Hatake Sakumo's side.
In the original time and space, this knife was broken with ease when faced with the slash from Iwagakure Jōnin.
Kakashi on the side, besides being delighted, also faintly realized Hatake Sakumo's abnormal state, and there seemed to be a hint of sadness in his brows and eyes.
Being sensible, he decided to ask the last question he wanted to ask after a few days.
"Father, what exactly is the will of fire?"
Obito, who has been familiar with Fan Ma's works, has been crazy in ninja school recently.
Even ordinary ninja school teachers can't suppress him by force even though he wields Explosive Knife Droplet.
And when it came to the class of learning the will of fire, Obitu quoted the scriptures and successfully made all the theory teachers speechless, and many of them covered their faces and ran away, looking indignant.
Kakashi also thought about it secretly for a long time, but found that Obito's logic was very closed loop.
Touching the White Fang dagger, Kakashi recalled Obito's words in his mind:
"Second Hokage-sama manifested the will of fire in order to protect the seedlings in the village and for the sake of the current third Hokage, right?"
"And ninjas must complete the task as the criterion, so the shadow guards who have not completed the task of protecting Hokage, and have not even fulfilled the requirements of the ninja, why are they still qualified to talk about the will of fire?"
"Whether you want to be a ninja or follow the will of fire, tell me, teacher!"
"Or, the will of fire does not exist at all, the leaves are flying, and the fire is endless, it's just empty words?"
"To put it bluntly, the so-called will of fire is the will of Hokage at all, it is what he says!"
Although Obito's remarks were full of sophistry, they firmly grasped the black material of the third generation. This is also a question that the ninja school teacher could not answer directly, and he was severely choked.
However, after the teachers of these ninja schools reported the matter to the Third Hokage, they received a reply to suspend the processing, so they could only forcibly endure Obito's nonsense.
After all, if you can't fight or talk, what else can you do?
For the current three generations of Hokage, as long as the Uchihas don't focus on Kyuubi, it is a good performance.
Regarding Obito's remarks, the Three Hokages could only comfort themselves silently:
"Children are ignorant, just talk casually, don't go on the line..."
And Kakashi looked at his father on the side, and secretly made plans in his heart.
"Tomorrow, I will have another debate with Obito. If I lose, I will find time to ask my father. He will definitely answer my doubts..."
But Sakumo Hatake, who was still in deep thought, didn't realize that his son beside him had already had the same confusion as himself.
That's a question he can't answer...
Push a book, easy, love, feelings, written by a friend, good visual inspection
