07 - Practice
After being forced to retreat and never slash again, Sora followed the aura of Kakashi and the others he remembered before, and walked alone for a few hours before arriving at Dazna's house at dawn.
When Sora arrived, Kakashi and his party were sitting around the table, which was already filled with simple dishes.
"Yo, you're just in time, Kaede." Kakashi seemed to be in a good mood when he saw Sora walking in, and the only one that was exposed was squinted into a slit.
However, Sora didn't have a bird Kakashi, he just simply crossed Kakashi, pulled out an empty chair and sat down, and even Naruto and Sasuke on the side ignored it.
At this time, Dazner's daughter and Sakura, who was helping in the kitchen, brought out the last dish and a large bowl of vegetable soup.
"It's coming, I'm going to keep you waiting!" Dazna's daughter, Tsunami, looked at everyone and smiled. Sakura also put down the last bowl of soup, and Naruto, who looked greedy, looked at the six dishes and one soup on the dinner table and said, "Wow~~ It looks delicious!" ”
And Sasuke also looked a little greedy when he looked at the food, probably because he had been with Naruto for a long time, so he was also affected by Naruto.
Kakashi looked at the various meals and said, "I'm sorry to let you break the bank." ”
Dazna laughed when he heard Kakashi's words, "No, you can send me home safely, this meal alone is not enough to express our family's gratitude to you Konoha ninjas!" That's what we're supposed to do, and it's a very common meal. ”
"I hope you don't think our food is too shabby." Tsunami said to everyone with a smile.
"It doesn't matter, it's already a rare delicacy for me." Sora just said things very calmly that made everyone feel very concerned.
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a little boy with a white hat walked in, and he was a little surprised to see the sudden extra figure in the house, but when he saw Dazna, his face showed a hint of surprise, ignoring Naruto's existence, and rushed to Dazna and hugged Dazna and said, "Grandpa, you're back!" ”
Dazna touched the boy's head dotingly and said, "Ah! I'm back, I'm there! ”
"Hey! Say hello to Ina! They're ninjas who protect Grandpa! Tsunami looked at Iña and said a little angrily.
"It's okay! Never mind! Right, Ina! Dazna didn't care, touched Ina's head and smiled.
Ina looked at the five people of Liuyun and said to Tsunami, "Mom! These people are not Cardo's opponents, and those who oppose Cardo never end well, and if they stay, they will all die. ”
Dazna's daughter hurriedly opened her mouth and scolded: "You are not allowed to be so rude to guests! And Iña looked at the people in front of him.
"Huh? What did you say? Gremlin! Listen up! I'm an invincible hero who wants to become a super ninja and surpass the Hokage in the future, whether it's Cardo or Doka, I don't take him seriously at all" Naruto was the first to sit still, and he couldn't help but complain as he stole food.
"What a hero, like an idiot!" Ina sneered with disdain.
"What!? Don't pull me Sasuke, I'll beat him up!! Naruto, who was scolded as an idiot, immediately shouted at Ina with his eyes blazing.
"Well~~ Okay, let's eat first, I'll take you out to practice later, after all, if you don't cut it, you may be attacked at any time." Hearing Kakashi say this, Naruto didn't bother to think about it, so he sat down and ate his meal.
After breakfast, near noon, Kakashi led the four of them into a forest.
Kakashi asked Naruto to personally demonstrate the practice they were going to perform, which was to climb the tree directly after condensing the chakra on the soles of his feet, and Sasuke was a little disdainful at first, but as soon as Kakashi said that as long as he could control the control of the chakra in the right amount, it would be very helpful in the battle, and Sasuke had to bite the bullet.
However, after Kakashi announced the start of the practice, Sora ignored them completely and turned around and walked in the other direction.
"Hey, Kaede, where are you going?" Kakashi looked at Sora's departing figure directly, looking a little faceless, and asked directly in a heavier tone.
"Go and practice, but you don't have to come along, I have my own way of cultivating." Sora turned his head and looked at Kakashi indifferently, "And I don't think a third-rate teacher who is late all day and makes excuses, and teaches students is completely improvised, can teach me anything." ”
After saying that, Sora turned around and continued to walk towards the depths of the forest.
And Kakashi, who was ruthlessly told the truth by Sora and despised by the gorgeous, was completely messy in the wind at the moment.
============================ dividing line ============================
When I came to the depths of the forest, I found a clearing, looked at the surrounding terrain to see if it was suitable, and began to arrange.
Sora walked up to a large tree, ignited the small universe, and then swung his fist at the tree in front of him.
'Bang! ''Bang! ’
A large tree with one person hugging each other was broken by an empty fist, and then Sora walked to another big tree, and did the same, breaking four trees in a row before stopping.
Then he straightened out the fractures, removed the excess branches and made the trees into stakes, and then took out the sponge and rags from the package he had brought with him when he went out, and wrapped the ends of the stakes.
Finally, Sora took out a thick rope and hung the four wooden stakes separately and hung them in the four directions of southeast, northwest, and north with Sora as the center point.
After looking at his masterpiece, Sora nodded slightly in satisfaction, then untied a piece of cloth tied to his wrist, and then blindfolded himself with that cloth.
After making sure that his blindfold is tied, kick off the small stake of the rope holding the four stakes in place with an empty kick.
In just an instant, within the perception of the empty small universe, four wooden pillars flew towards him from four different positions at different speeds.
However, Sora didn't make any unnecessary movements, just stood in place, and the moment the first stake flew over, he turned sideways at the smallest angle, and the stake just brushed past Sora's shoulder about 1 centimeter away.
Then, a second stake swung from behind the empty one.
Sora dodged in the same way again, and then dodged the next stake accurately.
In a row, Sora has dodged more than 20 times, avoiding the impact of each stake, and judging from the proficiency of dodging, it is not the first time that Sora has done this kind of practice.
However, when Sora dodged a wooden stake, it seemed that the track was expected to be wrong, and the next stake smashed accurately on Sora's right shoulder, and Sora flew out.
Obviously, he was hit by a wooden stake held by a person, and the pain was conceivable, but Sora just patted the shoulder that was hit, and then jumped to the middle of the stake array again, and continued to practice.
For the next afternoon, Sora continued this dangerous and cruel practice in the eyes of outsiders, repeating and flashing, being knocked flying, getting up, and returning to training.
Although it is a very dangerous cultivation, but the empty face has not changed at all, you must know, the cultivation of the real Saint Seiya is several times harsher than this, if this level of cultivation can't last, how can he talk about controlling his own destiny.
On the other side, Naruto and the others, who were practicing climbing trees, heard a series of collision sounds coming from the depths of the forest, and ran to take a look at the sound out of curiosity, and saw Sora's cruel cultivation.
When they arrived, they saw the scene of the empty chest being hit by one of the stakes, and the whole person flew upside down.
Just when they wanted to help Sora up, they watched in astonishment as Sora got up again, wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, and threw himself into cultivation again.
Looking at Sora's cultivation that was no different from torturing herself, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura couldn't understand it at all, especially Sakura, who grew up in an ordinary family, she didn't understand at all why a child of her age should do this kind of practice that she couldn't imagine living in peace before, Naruto and Sasuke were puzzled, what was supporting Sora, so that Sora didn't care about the damage he had suffered, and continued this terrifying practice.
Kakashi also hid to the side to observe without anyone noticing, looking at Sora's masochistic practice, his eyes couldn't help but reveal a trace of worry, but what this worry was worried about, only Kakashi himself knew.
Soon after, Naruto and the other three also returned to the place where they practiced and continued their practice.
========================== dividing line ==========================
After an afternoon of practicing, dusk fell quickly, so she returned to Dazna's house, and after dinner, Sakura looked at the broken photos on the wall and asked, "Why are you hanging the broken photos on the wall?" He turned his head and looked at Iina: "Iina kept looking at this photo when he was eating, it seems that someone deliberately tore off the corner of the photo." Speaking of this, Dazna, Ina, and Tsunami couldn't help but look a little dark.
In the end, Tsunami said while washing the utensils. "That's my husband"
"The man who used to be called the 'Hero of the Town'...", Dazna said with a hint of sadness, but Ina walked out when he heard this. Seeing that Iina suddenly walked out strangely, Sakura and the others couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
"Ina, where are you going?" When Tsunami saw this, she immediately chased after her, and when she ran to the door, she looked back at Dazna and complained, "Father, didn't I always tell you not to mention that man in front of Izuma!" ”
Dazner couldn't help but fall silent with some sadness.
"What the hell is going on with Ina?" Sakura, who didn't know the situation, asked worriedly.
"It seems like there are a lot of reasons!" Kakashi set his eyes on Dazna, and Dazna said with a dark look in his eyes, "Well, Yi has a father who is not related by blood, maybe his biological father died earlier, the relationship between the two of them is like a real father and son, at that time Yi used to be a child with a lot of smiles." ”
Dazna sighed and continued, "His name is Kesha, and although Kaisha is Yina's stepfather, the two of them have a very good relationship. It's like a biological father and son, or even more than a biological father and son. And that person is also a hero of the country of waves. But more than a year ago, Cardo took a fancy to the country of waves, and in order to get the country of waves, he first killed Kaisha, who was the hero of the country of waves, and the child of Ina watched his father die at the hands of Cardo. In this way, Kaisha's death caused a psychological shadow on Ina. So if there's anything wrong with Yi just now, please forgive me. ”
"I see!" Kakashi said, "We'll do our job, we'll protect you until the bridge is completed, okay?" Everyone's okay, right? Kakashi looked at Naruto and the other four, and Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Sora sat silently and ate slowly.
Dazna looked at everyone with emotion, "Thank you very much"
