There was no reason, no urging, but the winter night seemed to feel some inexplicable sense of urgency, driving him to keep getting stronger.

······

After becoming a middle ninja, the obvious change is that the winter night is busier than ever, and the so-called greater ability comes great responsibility, and the ninjas of Konoha seem to be doing things with such reasons and ideas.

In the history of Konoha, it is not uncommon for a ninja to become a shinobi at the age of only eleven or twelve, but when the three members of a squad are like this, it is inevitable that it will be a little conspicuous, and most people's correct evaluation of this is [excellent].

Therefore, [excellent] students always come from [excellent] teachers, especially when this teacher is still one of the three ninjas, Orochimaru, more praise comes out.

As incidentally, the three who have received too much praise also require them to take on more responsibility for the abilities they possess for such an extremely [excellent] trio.

Therefore!

The result!

Orochimaru is even busier!

Orochimaru is known as one of the three ninjas, although he is still a ninja, but his strength is obviously far beyond other people of this level.

With great power comes great responsibility.

The same sentence applies to Orochimaru.

A man like him is just a mentor, just following a few children to complete simple tasks or something, which is a complete waste of his ability.

So!

The solution emerged.

Orochimaru, who is still responsible for the three of Winter Nights and instructs the Shinobi, will be directly assigned by the three generations of Hokage at a specific necessary time, and considering the level of the mission, it is definitely impossible to allow them to participate in Winter Night.

In other words, during the period when Orochimaru completes the task alone, the three of them in the winter night and the three middle ninja will have to choose the task by themselves and complete it by themselves.

Is this arrangement a tempering of their so-called independence on a winter night? Or did you follow the principle of making the best use of what you want?

There is no point in deliberately pursuing answers.

That's it.

After the team re-experienced a few tasks, they barely got used to Orochimaru's absence, and the time slowly came to September.

An interesting thing happened in Konoha Village.

In fact, when Winter Night returned home from his mission, he learned the accurate news from the depressed Kai the next day.

Kakashi Hachiki, who is less than six years old, decisively chose to graduate early at the end of the first semester of the ninja school.

In the history of the ninja school, there has never been a student who chose to graduate early at such a young age as him.

Moreover, not many people believe that he will be able to pass.

At this time, peers began to laugh secretly, and they laughed at each other's ignorance.

I hope to use this to vent the powerlessness of being crushed by the genius Kakashi for a long time.

And then.

The reality is that he succeeded.

Kakashi who passed the graduation exam.

Live up to his title of genius!

The youngest shinobi in history was born.

Just such a harsh title of achievement has once again stimulated many so-called genius teenagers.

At least Kai, who is tearing the barbecue and constantly talking with his big mouth, although he looks like he will bless his opponent on the surface, he should be very unconvinced in his heart.

Even if he was frustrated, even if he believed that his opponent was many steps faster than him, Kai was not restless, and all he saw in his eyes was a decision.

······

In autumn, the maple forest in the village has also fallen golden leaves, and the path of the stone road is covered with the scorched ground at the moment, and there is always a crunchy sound when stepping on it.

It's a rare golden season, and it's rare to stay in the leaves on winter nights.

The release of ninja quests seems to coincide with the changes of the seasons, and this autumn, the number of quests in general began to decrease, especially the B-rank quests and above.

Because I am still a teenager with a strong heart, the common thought or reason is to go out and see more of the world.

Without the restraint of Orochimaru, the three of them are not too rigid about the amount of remuneration when choosing tasks, but most of them choose tasks that can leave the village.

Because of the peculiarities of the choice of tasks.

They also often need a period of time, perhaps before they can pick up a specific hike, hence the interval between them.

On winter nights, they are lazy with peace of mind, no, to recuperate for a while.

This vacated time was also perfectly arranged early on the winter night.

For a cultivator mad like him, his goal was to use this period of time to strengthen his [Second Sword Stream].

Although it was the way that Winter Night chose to become stronger, this path was far more difficult than he imagined.

As a technique of using a knife, [Erdaoliu] is not suitable for ninja combat, and is more inclined to the fighting style of samurai.

Ninja battles are more inclined to the direction of ninjutsu and illusion, focusing on scheming and weirdness, in fact, there are not many cases of head-on collisions and relying on physical skills to win, and the proportion of them is not large.

Of course, in ninja battles, there are naturally many very important records involving the use of different types of ninja equipment, but it is mainly about the bias of throwing and control.

Weapons such as daggers are actually used by only a small percentage of ninjas.

The most well-known is the former Konoha White Fang, but there is only one Konoha White Fang in the world.

The application of sword techniques may be attributed to a part of the body arts, but for this aspect, Konoha body ninjas do not have much advice.

At the beginning of the winter night practice, Orochimaru explained the reality that he couldn't help himself, even a genius like Orochimaru would naturally pay more attention to the control of ninjutsu, and he didn't have more energy to take care of sword skills.

Therefore, to this day, the winter nights along the way are alone.

Thinking alone, practicing alone, confused and confused alone.

Perhaps thanks to his strong mental strength, the initial distraction technique was not difficult for Winter Night, and now he was able to use weapons such as short knives with his left hand, but the proficiency was far less than that of his right hand, which he had been using.

Winter Night does not have a clear dominant hand, that is, a two-handed person in the general sense, obviously both hands are equally sensitive, but for the experience gained from fighting with the right hand for a long time, it is far from being comparable to the left hand that wants to come from behind.

Sow a behavior, reap a habit!

The so-called habits are not innate, but most of them are acquired, although the two hands are equally flexible, but with the same knife, the right hand will still cut the enemy's throat faster, more ruthlessly, and more accurately.

Such a gap can only be slowly diluted with time, and with more battles, it can be equivalent to faster familiarity.
