Chapter 52: Interlude
Cool breeze and sunny days. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the roof of a tall building in Konoha.
Kakashi was lazily leaning against the wall, soaking up the warm sun.
"Jiraiya-sama, it's been a long time! You haven't been back to the village for years, have you?
Jiraiya leans on the railing and overlooks the scenery of Konoha. In the midst of a warm day, Konoha is like a lazy and elegant woman, leisurely stretching her soft figure.
"Not looking for you, to be exact. Jiraiya paused, "It's that kid......"
Jiraiya turned his head and looked at Kakashi earnestly.
"Kakashi, take Naruto...... Leave it to me!"
Kakashi was taken aback.
“…… Jiraiya-sama?"
"Aren't you concentrating on instructing Sasuke next, then in the month before the third exam, Naruto will be handed over to me!"
"Whew......" Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief, "Is it just temporary protection for Naruto?"
"It depends on the situation, and I'm afraid that things may turn out to be too much for you to handle...... Kakashi, you should know that over the years, I've traveled around the world on Konoha and collected a lot of information......" Jiraiya said in a deep voice.
"I found out that there is an organization called 'Akatsuki' that houses many dangerous and powerful wanted criminals, even Weasel...... They are gathering information about tailed beasts everywhere, and they seem to have hidden evil intentions!"
The information that he had learned from him was told to Kakashi.
"You mean, there's a chance they're going to do something to Naruto?"
"That's what I'm worried about. After all, the Nine-Tails is the most powerful chakra source ever......" Jiraiya said heavily, "Naruto will understand his fate one day, and before that day, I hope he will have the strength to protect his life." So, if necessary...... I'll take Naruto away. I'm going to teach him myself!"
Jiraiya glanced at Kakashi.
"Naruto has grown up very quickly under you, but it would be more appropriate to leave the guidance to me in the future. After all, your path is quite different from Naruto's. You'd better keep an eye on Sasuke......"
"I see. Kakashi nodded solemnly and agreed to Jiraiya's proposal.
"If that's the case...... Can you please bring another child?"
"You mean Sakura Haruno from your group?"
"Yes, I'm sure you've heard a little bit about her. To be honest, I feel a little overwhelmed by guiding her!"
"I've heard of it, a genius ninja who can develop a powerful water escape at the age of ten......" Jiraiya smiled faintly, a strong man like him who grew up from the tail of a crane didn't really care much about the titles of those geniuses.
He has seen too many so-called geniuses who die on the way to growth, or who grow up to be obscure.
There are only two geniuses who admit from the bottom of my heart. One is his disciple, the fourth generation Hokage.
And the other......
It's his former teammate, Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas.
Even a genius like Kakashi, who graduated from a ninja school at the age of five, was promoted to a middle ninja at the age of six, and was promoted to a shinobi at the age of twelve, in Jiraiya's opinion, is also a line behind.
And a so-called genius like Sakura, he has seen too much, so he naturally has more in his eyes.
What's more, as far as he knew about Sakura Haruno's situation, he didn't recognize that this female ninja had the potential to become a shadow-level powerhouse.
Jiraiya is not interested in Sakura.
However, since Kakashi solemnly made such a suggestion, of course, Jiraiya would not easily dismiss it. Not to mention that he just snatched a disciple from Kakashi, with Kakashi's character, he also deserves to be taken seriously by Jirai.
"What's the matter, an ordinary ninjutsu genius, does it give Kakashi a headache?" Jiraiya teased Kakashi.
"It's not just ordinary people who have a talent for ninjutsu...... You know if you've seen her ninjutsu, she has already independently developed Teacher Mizumon's Wind Escape Spiral Pill some time ago. Speaking of which, Kakashi was still a little proud, "Not to mention the two water escapes she created herself." ”
"Oh?" Jiraiya couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Independently developed the Wind Escape Spiral Pill?
I also know what the spiral pill represents. It was a very difficult and powerful ninjutsu, and it took four generations three years to create it, with a difficulty level of A.
And the Wind Escape Spiral Pill ......
It's a ninjutsu that only exists in the concept of the four generations of purposes.,Even the water gate hasn't really been completed.,Ninjutsu with a difficulty of S......
This kind of ninjutsu was actually developed by a little girl who has not dried up?
Self-coming is also dumbfounded.
"--A, Orochimaru-style genius?" Jiraiya couldn't help but feel an evil figure in his heart.
"No," Kakashi shook his head, "If anything, she's more like Watergate-sensei." In some respects, I can even say that I am a copy of the teacher!"
Watergate-style genius...... I also had a good impression of it.
"I'm not fit to coach a genius, Kakashi. Jiraiya stood up straight, "Still, there might be someone better suited to guide her." ”
"What do you mean...... But she's not in the village. ”
"You'll see her soon, I promise. Jiraiya squeezed his eyes at Kakashi, "Okay, I'll go over and see Naruto first!"
Jiraiya waved his hand without looking back, and disappeared on the rooftop in an instant.
On the other side of Konoha, in the Hinata house.
Bang, bang, bang-
A tall, thin, and petite figure is engaged in a duel between soft boxing and soft boxing in the martial arts arena of Hyuga's house!
The tall and thin figure, with long hair and a delicate face, is none other than Hinata Ningji, who had just been defeated by Sakura's men.
The petite figure has a graceful figure and delicate facial features, but it is Hinata Hinata who has just advanced to the third game of the middle ninja exam.
Hey, ha!
The fists came and went, the figures advanced and retreated, moving and flickering, and in the fierce confrontation, there were crisp or low shouts from the two from time to time.
In the same soft fist duel, the moves between the brothers and sisters are almost identical, as if they are fighting with another self.
Different from other boxing techniques, the soft fist made by the two, every punch and every palm, looks like a light flutter without strength, but in fact it contains dark energy, hidden but not released, once it is solid, it is infinitely powerful!
The two brothers and sisters who know the terrible of soft boxing, in the face of each other's seemingly tentative shots, they are both careful to deal with it, walking on thin ice!
Boom!
After a tentative confrontation, the two finally fought each other in a real way, Ning Ji's slender palm and Hinata's slender soft palm were attached together, but the two palms, one large and one small, contained comparable fist strength, and the fierce collision of chakra unfolded in the palm of the hand, and then exploded!
The brother and sister were forced to take a step back at the same time by the force of the explosion.
"Hmph!" "Uh-huh!" A muffled grunt and a suppressed gasp came out of the mouths of the two.
Phew-Ning took a long breath.
Hinata walked to the sidelines, took down two white towels, slapped one on her face, and handed it to Ningji.
"Brother Ningci, take a rest and wipe your sweat!"
Ning Ci was slightly stunned, and took the towel in Hinata's hand with a hint of soap.
Training in Akaiban is not such a good treatment. There are towels at home, snacks to replenish energy, and professional training facilities, etc., etc., etc., these are just the tip of the iceberg of Hinata's heritage as a Konoha family.
What's more, there is also a gentle and lovely, strong sister as a sparring partner.
Ning Ci thought as he looked at his defenseless sister in front of him.
Recently, his life, as well as his thoughts, have changed a little.
In the qualifiers, after the battle with the girl Sakura Haruno, who was ruthlessly crushed at the beginning, Ninji admits that some of the deep-seated ideas in his mind have been shaken.
The words of the strong are always a little more convincing than ordinary people.
And a strong man who grew up from a girl with average qualifications, her resistance to fate made Ning Ci even more tempted.
Immediately afterwards, that night, the patriarch of the Hyuga family, the high-ranking patriarch of the clan Hinata Hinata knelt deeply in front of him, which made Ning Ci's thinking change even more.
Maybe Rizu's kneeling has an element of acting. However, Hinata Hinata and Ningji's father, Hinata Hiza, the relationship between the two brothers is sincere and willing to die for each other.
And this sincerity was also really passed on to Ning Ci.
Ningji, who had always resented the clan family for his father's death and resented the patriarch Hinata Hinata, finally let go at this moment.
My father died for my brother.
Maybe there are still a lot of things worth Ning Ci's resentment, but Ning Ci is relieved.
There is still a lot of sorrow in my heart, a lot of pain, a lot of dissatisfaction, but I let go of hatred, let go of the knot, let go of stubbornness.
The shackles were put down.
Ning Ci, whose soul was liberated at this moment, looked back at his past self, full of narrow thoughts, and couldn't help but feel ridiculous. Now he finally understands what it means to become a strong man.
The so-called strong man does not refer to the strength of the strong, but the strong man who can control his own mind.
After recovering from his injuries, the next morning, he stepped into the Hinata training ground, which he hadn't been to since his father's death.
Hinata was practicing with her father Hinata on foot, and in a trance, Ning Ci seemed to see her young self and her father practicing jutsu boxing.
The morning sun shone through his shoulders on the two people on the field, warm and soft.
It's like a father's warm big hand.
