Chapter 31: Emotional Intelligence
"How can this be, it's okay Dad." When everyone returned home with Daz, the first thing they greeted was Daz's daughter, and when they saw everyone's embarrassment, especially Kakashi, who was being supported, they couldn't help but ask worriedly.
"I'm fine, Tsunami, get ready, a few ninja-sama need to rest." Daz said with a wave of his hand.
He watched the battles along the way, knew what Kakashi needed most at the moment, and hurriedly ordered his daughter.
Entering the house, the paralyzed Kakashi was placed on the couch, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, after a series of battles, not only Kakashi at this time, but Sasuke, who was injured before, couldn't help but sit on the ground, and Sakura and the mistress of the house helped to treat the wounds.
In comparison, Naruto, although he has also experienced a fierce fight, it can be said that the intensity is second only to Kakashi, but because of the relationship between the shadow clones, he is the best state of the several, and after changing out of the wet clothes, he is as usual.
“……”
"Bastard! Why is it only you who have nothing to do. ”
Seeing Naruto, who was full of energy at this time, the other three were speechless, and Sakura's inner personality kept going crazy in his heart.
"It seems...... I needed a week off to fully recover. Turning his head to feel his state, Kakashi said helplessly.
However, this situation didn't worry him much, after all, in his current understanding, the biggest enemy was already dead, even if Cardo had other subordinates, as long as it wasn't at the level of no more slashing, Naruto and the fast-growing Sasuke should be enough to deal with it.
"Really, although the writing wheel eye is very powerful, I didn't expect it to have such a big negative impact on the body." Sakura, who was kneeling beside Kakashi at this time and handed him a towel, couldn't help but say worriedly.
In her mind, Kakashi had such serious sequelae after just one battle, and she couldn't help but worry about Sasuke, after all, Sasuke also has a chakra.
"Don't worry, Sakura-chan, I'm in a different situation from Sasuke, he's the true Uchiha successor, and the burden of writing wheels is far less than that of a foreigner like me." As if sensing Sakura's concern, Kakashi excused her.
That's right, he had also noticed Sasuke opening his eyes before, and while he was happy for Sasuke, he couldn't help but sigh at the strength of these two problem children.
One is just like a monster, there is no problem with a newcomer at all, just like acting with a senior ninja, insight, reaction, tactics, these ninja values the characteristics are extremely prominent, and their own strength is difficult to find an opponent at this stage.
Such a performance, to be honest, he was not surprised but a little scared by this, especially when Naruto showed an attitude towards life on the way, which made him even more vigilant.
Of course, killing was inevitable on the ninja road, and he was also a man with blood on his hands, but Naruto was indeed different from the ninjas he knew, and it was the first time he had seen such a person who was completely indifferent to killing, especially a twelve-year-old boy.
As for Sasuke, compared to Naruto, in Kakashi's eyes, he is much more normal, he is the kind of "normal" genius, and while sighing at his talent, he can still see his growth curve clearly, and I think that after the opening of this writing wheel, there will be a high-speed growth period.
What needs to be paid attention to is only emotional management, so that he can get out of the obsession of revenge little by little, and feel the care of others, compared to Naruto, who doesn't know what he's thinking, this kind of psychological counseling that he is not good at has become easier unconsciously.
"Naruto......" Thinking of this, Kakashi glanced at Naruto who was helping Tsunami prepare food, and sighed in his heart, this orphan of the fourth Hokage is now the source of his headache.
I want to talk to him alone, but I don't know how to unfold it, Naruto's performance along the way is perfect, and there is nothing to blame, he can't just say to Naruto that his behavior is too cold-blooded, not like a normal teenager.
At the end of the day, it's inevitable that ninjas kill people, and he has no reason to make subjective criticisms of this matter, but he can't let Naruto go on like this, and Kakashi is also in a dilemma for a while.
An hour later, the meal was ready, everyone began to replenish the energy lost throughout the day, and Kakashi's condition was much better, although he still looked like he had been hollowed out, he had basically regained his ability to take care of himself, of course, the fight was not to be thought about.
At the "......" dinner table, Naruto felt very strange when he saw everyone enjoying dinner normally, others didn't know, but he knew that if he didn't die, why was this the same as in the past?
Isn't it time to talk about it and then raise suspicions? Have you forgotten?
Thinking of this, Naruto glanced at Kakashi, who was eating quickly and pulling up his mask, it stands to reason that Sasuke and Sakura can't find out that the problem is normal, and it's a bit too much for you to be an elite shinobi to react now.
Could it be that in this world, there are not only Nine-Tails people who can't feel the Nine-Tails in their bodies, but even you, the famous Sharingan Kakashi, can't reduce his intelligence? Naruto couldn't help but feel a little confused.
How did he know now that Kakashi's mind was full of how to communicate with him and get him "on the right path", and there were still extra things to think about.
He was to blame for all this, if he hadn't been too mature and cold-blooded, Kakashi wouldn't have lost his usual calm and sagacity by now, and I'm afraid he would have thought of the anomaly of not slashing anymore.
However, if Naruto knew this, I am afraid that he could only cry out in his heart, he was a traverser after all, and he couldn't let him be as rough and rough as Naruto in the plot, what are you doing, this is really too embarrassing for him, an old man who is more than thirty years old in his heart.
As for the performance when killing, he can only spread his hands helplessly, which he can't figure out himself, just assume that he is born cold-blooded.
"Uh...... Isn't it a little strange that you said you would take away the person who will not be beheaded today? "There is no way, seeing that dinner is almost over, and everyone is still talking about some of the things that are not there, Naruto can only try to provoke this topic.
It's not that he strongly wants to spoil anything, but it's dangerous to go on like this, but there is a second wave of battles behind, and he is not mentally prepared, so relaxed is likely to overturn, and if he doesn't cut it weak, that's not something he and Sasuke can solve now, the main force is still our five-five, don't be caught off guard in the subsequent attack.
"Strange?" Sasuke and Sakura couldn't help but look at him questioningly at the same time.
"Did you notice something, Naruto?" Kakashi, on the other hand, frowned at this, and quickly recalled in his mind what had happened after the battle.
Unlike in the plot, Kakashi attaches great importance to the questions raised by Naruto, after all, Naruto's performance all the way is there, and he feels that Naruto's insight will not be easily untargeted.
"I can't say that I noticed it, it's just a little strange, I remember that in the details of Konoha Dark Recycling Rebellion, the object that was recovered was cut off and brought back with a scroll seal, and the previous fog concealment treatment method made me feel quite different, but this is nothing, it may be the habits of different villages." Naruto said casually, and began to lead Kakashi to guess at the truth.
There was no need to give a direct answer, Kakashi's experience was enough to arouse his suspicions and deduce the truth, if he couldn't hear this, Naruto would probably wonder if Kakashi was someone pretending.
"Huh? It's cruel to cut off your head. Sakura exclaimed.
She completely avoided the point of the matter, looking frightened, and at the same time deliberately approached Sasuke, as if waiting for Sasuke to comfort her, and Naruto didn't know why he felt the urge to punch her and hear if her screams were good.
Seriously, it was the first time he had seen this kind of woman in his two lives combined, and it seemed that there was nothing in his mind except for falling in love.
"This is a very normal thing, and it will be clear to you if you have the opportunity to enter the shadows in the future." Kakashi explained.
At the same time, he also looked at Naruto with deep meaning, he didn't expect Naruto to even know about the dark department, he also worked in the dark department, he naturally knew that Naruto was right, but these rules of the dark department are not clear to the average ninja, and he will only be told when he enters the dark department, he can't think of how Naruto knows this.
"Isn't it just convenient to bury or incinerate on the spot?" Sasuke, who heard this for the first time, also asked curiously.
"Not so." Kakashi shook his head and denied Sasuke's idea, and decided to give them a science popularization, so he continued: "First of all, the pursuit of the traitorous ninja needs to be brought back, which is not only a proof of punishment, but also to prevent the information from being discovered by other villages through the corpse, the corpse itself, has a lot of important information. ”
"In that case, it's not strange that the dark part of the mist ninja did it, right?" Hearing this, Sakura then asked.
Indeed, according to what Kakashi said, the man did nothing wrong with bringing the corpse back to prove it, and preventing the information about the corpse from being discovered by others.
However, Kakashi shook his head solemnly, he was already beginning to realize what the problem was.
"On the surface, this is true, but in the implementation, the dark parts of each village will basically only bring back the head, because the real interrogator can use the head of the corpse to use illusion to decipher some residual pictures and even memories of his life, so the head must be brought back." After popularizing the detailed rules, Kakashi went on to introduce the three of them to some common sense in the work of dark strength.
"However, the other parts are not necessary, after all, although some information such as the nature of chakra and physical habits can be seen in the corpse, but because it has been executed, it is actually not very meaningful, and the corpse is very heavy, and it is inconvenient to carry it is also the main reason." At this point, Kakashi had basically confirmed the conjecture in his mind, and his face was a little ugly at this point, but he began to explain to the three of them.
"It's really strange to think back to seeing that person today, obviously small and thin, but insisting on carrying the strong one and not slashing it again, Naruto's suspicions are justified." Kakashi couldn't help but admire Naruto's sharpness again.
"But...... Didn't you confirm that if you don't kill again, you're dead? Sasuke immediately grasped the essence of the problem and asked.
"That was true at the time, but now I'm not sure." Kakashi shook his head, and seeing that Sasuke still didn't understand, he explained, "Did you notice the weapon that person was using?" ”
"Weapons? It's a thousand books! Hearing Kakashi's question, Sasuke lowered his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly looked up and said suddenly.
Obviously, Sasuke also discovered something strange at this time, Chibon, which is mostly used by medical ninjas and female ninjas, is obviously very discordant with the so-called "corpse disposal class" fog hidden dark department, this kind of weapon that is known for its lethality unless it is a direct hit, the damage caused is polar, and it is not suitable for the ninja who is responsible for chasing and killing, and it often needs to be used by ninjas who need to fight.
"That's right." Kakashi nodded appreciatively, "And Chibon could have been used for acupuncture, and thinking back to the position where that person hit and didn't slash, it should be a way to put him in a state of suspended animation." ”
Speaking of this, Kakashi paused, glanced at the expressions of the three of them, and said solemnly, "So there is a great chance that he will still be alive if he doesn't kill again!" ”
……
Early the next morning, the four members of Class 7 had breakfast and came to the forest near Daz's house.
Naturally, I came here for practice, and after yesterday's analysis meeting, everyone except Naruto had a lot of urgency, and Kakashi did the same, so he announced his next practice plan early in the morning and brought the three of them here.
Fortunately, according to their analysis last night, even if they don't really live, it shouldn't take less than a week to recover from the previous state, especially the state of suspended animation, so they just use this time to practice and improve themselves.
"This ...... You don't really want me to climb a tree, doesn't this Kakashi know that I've already completed this kind of practice? Or is it a workaround that this person unexpectedly does not understand. Naruto followed them to the bottom of a few trees, and couldn't help but complain in his heart.
It would be a waste of time to let him climb a tree, these foundations were all instincts carved into his DNA, and if there was an experience bar or something like the one in the game, then his experience bar would have been overflowing long ago, and there was no room for improvement.
However, things really turned out as he thought......
"Your next practice is to climb a tree." When he got this answer from Kakashi's mouth, Naruto really didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
"Climbing trees?" Sasuke and Sakura are naturally puzzled.
With this in mind, Kakashi then gave them a demonstration and told them a little bit about the importance of chakra control.
"That ......" After listening to Kakashi's words, Sakura seemed to remember something, glanced at Naruto who was sitting on the stump next to him and asked, "Kakashi-sensei, yesterday I saw that Naruto and the one who can stand on the water without slashing, is it the same principle?" ”
Sasuke also looked at Kakashi when he heard this, and he also remembered the scene yesterday, and the sense of urgency and unwillingness in his heart that had been left behind came back to his heart.
"That's right, and it's a much more advanced skill, the undulating surface of the water requires more control than you can imagine compared to a stationary tree trunk, and your goal now is to do as much as you just demonstrated." Kakashi said bluntly.
Hearing this, Naruto was speechless for a while, and said in his heart that these words were simply forcing the second pillar classmate to his death, but he didn't expect Kakashi, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, to be so bad.
He doesn't have to look back now, he can think of Sasuke's current expression, and even he can't bear it anymore, after all, Sasuke is different from him, and he is just a young man who has just experienced the world while carrying a deep hatred of blood, is it really good to stimulate him like this.
"Kakashi, Kakashi, you really contributed to Sasuke's defection in the plot......" Naruto said in his heart.
Sasuke's choice in the plot seems to have many influences, including Naruto's sense of urgency to catch up, and Itachi's frustration after his sudden appearance, etc., but in the final analysis, Kakashi's inability to properly channel this competitive relationship is the main reason.
When encountering problems, it is basically overwhelming people, whether it is the conflict between Naruto and Sasuke for the first time in the plot or before Sasuke's defection, he only cares about solving the present, and the essential problem is not touched at all, it can be seen that although Kakashi often shows extraordinary wisdom in battle, he is not a particularly delicate person in life, he may be able to detect abnormalities, but there is no way to solve it and action.
To put it bluntly, Kakashi did not become Sasuke's "Iruka" or "Jiraiya" in the plot, obviously with the same words and deeds, and even his own stunts were handed over to Sasuke without reservation, but judging from the results, there was not even the most basic bond between the two, which has to show Kakashi's failure in this regard.
