Chapter 120: Way and Faith
"Kakashi Hachiki? Forget it, your name doesn't matter, what did you mean when you just said that my cultivation is meaningless? ”
Didn't care about Kakashi's name, Sasuke cared more about what Kakashi said than these, his cultivation was meaningless, which made him frown unhappily.
Because his shuriken cultivation method was taught by that hateful man, Uchiha Itachi.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Sasuke had to admit Itachi's understanding and application of shuriken, and he was also an outstanding shuriken expert in the Uchiha clan.
"Literally."
Kakashi didn't care about the displeasure in Sasuke's tone, still smiling.
"I see, did you come here to find fault?"
With a serious face, Sasuke quickly pulled out his shuriken from his ninja bag, clamped it between his fingers, and fired it at Kakashi at any time.
"No, no, I'm just telling the truth, according to such a step-by-step cultivation method, to say something ugly, you don't want to surpass Uchiha Itachi in your life."
Kakashi said, looking directly into Sasuke's eyes.
Shout!
The shuriken shot unceremoniously at Kakashi's body, and before Sasuke could see Kakashi's technique, he saw that the shuriken he launched was already spinning on Kakashi's right index finger.
It was cracked in an instant.
Sasuke is not surprised by this, although the other party looks lazy, but after all, it is also the upper ninja of the dark department, and there is a world of difference between it and the lower ninja, and this kind of strength is expected.
"If you're here to taunt me, then you've achieved your goal. I don't want to talk nonsense with you right now and waste my cultivation time. Let's go. ”
Sasuke snorted coldly, unhappy that Kakashi was showing off his strength.
But the situation is stronger than people, and no matter what tactics he uses, it is impossible to defeat Shangnin.
This is a gap in absolute strength, and it is not something that some cleverness can make up.
"It's troublesome, but you're still inheriting the name of Uchiha. Let me explain my intentions directly, I am a personal tutor entrusted by Hokage-sama to teach you from today. ”
Kakashi scratched his head, he knew that there was no point in pretending to be with Sasuke here.
Although the other party is very young, his head is not stupid, especially after experiencing such a tragic thing as the extermination of the clan, it also promotes his mental growth. Despite this growth, it may be filled with all sorts of twisted and extreme ideas of revenge.
"Hokage-sama!?"
Sasuke looked at Kakashi with a stunned expression on his face.
"That's right. Unlike the war years of the past, there is basically a stable balance between countries, so ninja schools will not allow such things as early graduation. ”
Mainly the Second Ninja World War and the Third Ninja World War, there were too many young seeds that did not grow up and died on the battlefield.
In order to ensure the supply of new blood, he passed the high-level meeting and entered the ninja school, where he had to study for six years before he could graduate.
This is a kind of protection, but also to ensure that Konoha's future backbone can be repaired and reincarnated.
But this kind of discourse must not be said directly, it needs to be artistically processed and declared to the outside world.
"By the standard of past wartime graduates, you're basically qualified now. However, due to the different times, you can't leave the ninja school now. This will cause inconvenience to your growth, and many things in Ninja School will no longer be useful to you, and you will lose the possibility of going further. Therefore, in order not to waste your talents, Hokage-sama specially entrusted me to come and teach you personally. ”
Kakashi explained.
Sasuke was slightly stunned.
Although he didn't understand national affairs, he had already understood Kakashi's general meaning.
To put it simply, Hokage-sama valued his talent, so he sent the dark shinobi as a confidant to train him privately and alone.
Thinking of this, Sasuke was faintly excited.
If there is a shinobi to teach himself personally, then he will be able to become stronger faster, and then ...... Kill the Uchiha Itachi and revive the Uchiha clan!
"In other words, from today onwards, you will teach me one-on-one, right?"
Sasuke asked impatiently, and looked at Kakashi with a much more pleasing look.
"Nope."
Kakashi shook his head.
"Huh?"
Sasuke looked at Kakashi dumbfounded, not knowing what Kakashi meant by denial.
Isn't it Hokage's order to teach him? Why shake your head in the negative?
Kakashi smiled and said, "Although this is Hokage-sama's order, however, I also have my own arrogance, if it doesn't particularly satisfy me, no matter how good your talent is, it has nothing to do with me." ”
"But it's Hokage-sama's order, isn't it?"
"I'm the head of the dark department, and if I insist on appealing, Hokage-sama will also consider my heavy task and take back my life."
Minister of Darkness!
Sasuke's eyes widened.
He knew that Kakashi was the upper shinobi in the dark department, and his status was not low, but he didn't expect it to be such a big man as the head of the dark department.
In terms of status, he is at the same level as his father, the former captain of the Konoha Garrison, Uchiha Fugaku.
"By the way, your brother Itachi Uchiha was also one of my subordinates in the past."
"Itachi, he'......"
"How? Isn't it exciting? But alas, even I am not sure that I will be able to defeat Itachi, and maybe even be defeated by him. ”
Kakashi didn't lie when he said this.
This kind of blood inheritance limit is too terrifying.
If it was before Itachi awakened the Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel, Kakashi had a very high level of confidence, but after Itachi awakened the Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Eye, if he encountered it, then he would need to deal with it carefully. Even he could capsize in the gutter.
Itachi is still the kind of all-round ninja, physical arts, illusions, and ninjutsu, none of which are weak, and he is also good at analyzing the enemy's weaknesses and is good at tactical analysis, which is the most terrifying thing about Itachi.
Sasuke calmed down from his excitement.
"Let's not mention this kind of thing first, how can you teach me to cultivate?"
Although Kakashi's words meant to praise Itachi, he didn't say that he would definitely fail against Itachi.
So, if you learn the skills from Kakashi, you have a chance to kill Itachi.
In this way, how to get Kakashi to teach himself cultivation has become a difficult problem to overcome at the moment.
"To be honest, when Hokage-sama first commanded me, I refused in my heart. But seeing your last name reminds me of my past comrades on the battlefield. ”
"Is he also from the Uchiha clan?"
"Yes, later on the battlefield, his whereabouts are unknown. And during the war, there was no difference between missing and sacrificed. So, for the sake of the face of my companions who have sacrificed in the past, I intend to give you a chance. If you can pass my test, I will teach you myself. ”
Kakashi said.
"What if I don't pass the test?"
"Hokage-sama's order is not easy to withdraw, but I will choose a shinobi from my subordinates to teach you."
"Is he as strong as you?"
"I think in the shadows, no one can surpass me in strength."
Kakashi looked at Sasuke indifferently.
"That's it, tell me what you're going to do. I'll let you teach me willingly! ”
Sasuke had a confident smile on his face.
Looking at Sasuke's overconfident face, Kakashi pondered for a moment before looking at Sasuke seriously and said to him, "The content of the assessment is very simple, I have only one request for you, and that is - to give up hatred." ”
Sasuke's smile stiffened, and his eyes darkened to meet Kakashi's.
Abandon...... Hatred?
What is the requirement?
If he gives up hatred, what is the meaning of his life as an avenger?
◎
"Give up hatred? Why do you want to teach like this, Kakashi? ”
After Kakashi and Sasuke came into contact, the third Hokage Hizashi learned of the specific situation and summoned Kakashi with a puzzled face.
Before Kakashi and Sasuke came into contact, Hizashi had already unsealed some of the Uchiha's sharingan information, and with Kakashi's past knowledge of the sharingan, he was qualified for Sasuke's position as a personal teacher.
He didn't believe that Kakashi didn't understand that Sharingan needed negative emotions to evolve.
Whether it is an ordinary magatama form of a writing wheel or a kaleidoscope writing wheel eye, every evolution means sacrifice and blood.
The Uchiha clan's writing wheel eye became famous all over the world under such a premise, and became a powerful weapon of war for the Uchiha clan against the enemy.
It is also a force that the top management of Konoha is afraid of.
If he gives up hatred, then Sasuke will lose the weapon of Sharingan, and for Konoha to be unable to cultivate a powerful Sharingan ninja, it will be a more loss-making investment.
"I have a general understanding of the information that Hokage-sama sent me about the writing wheels. With the traditional education model, it is indeed possible to use negative emotions such as hatred to stimulate Uchiha Sasuke, so that Uchiha Sasuke can gain stronger power in a short period of time. But this often means that there will be risks. ”
"In other words, to give up part of the power of the writing wheel eye to redefine the balance, right?"
Hizashi understood what Kakashi meant.
"Yes. The writing wheel eye is a dangerous double-edged sword, and the more advanced the writing wheel eye, the more dangerous it is. If Sasuke hurts Konoha for revenge, that's something I can't allow. ”
Kakashi said firmly.
Hizaki took a deep breath, and indeed, he had considered such a situation as well.
However, he knew far more information than Kakashi, and he was more worried about Sasuke's future instability than Kakashi.
Emotionally speaking, Konoha is ashamed of Sasuke, and he hopes to take care of Sasuke more if he can, not just the agreement with Itachi.
However, from a rational point of view, he does not allow too many personal feelings.
Kakashi's method, although it may weaken the power of Sasuke's writing wheel, also makes Sasuke's temperament more stable. And even if Sasuke betrays Konoha in the future, Konoha has the ability to suppress Sasuke.
This kind of balance that can be held in the hands of the Japanese is quite satisfying.
"It's just...... Does Sasuke give up hatred? ”
Hizai asked.
Hatred.
This kind of thing can be a catalyst for power.
Even he, the Hokage, is sometimes not exempt from vulgarity.
The eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law all died in the Land of the Wind, and he also hated Chiba Shiraishi. However, considering the strength of both sides and the current international situation, he had to make compromises.
Even in order to redeem Jiraiya, he had to hand over the inheritance of the Konoha Uchiha clan and revoke the wanted warrant for the traitorous ninja.
The hatred in Sasuke's heart is stronger than that of him, the Hokage, and his mind is even more immature, and he doesn't know how to compromise and endure.
Hizaki couldn't see that Sasuke would give up hatred as a catalyst for power.
Burdened with the blood feud of the clan, Hisaki couldn't imagine what kind of pain and suffering Sasuke was undergoing in his heart.
It is undoubtedly more difficult for Sasuke to give up revenge than to ascend to the sky.
"It's not that he wants to give up completely, I just don't want him to get bogged down in hatred and be swallowed up. I hope he will be able to hold hatred and not become a tool for revenge. What's more, I will hand over what I have learned to him, which can replace the shortcomings in the writing wheel to a certain extent. ”
Hinata listened to Kakashi's account and began to think.
Soon, Hizai nodded and said, "Since you are sure, then, follow your way." You're right, Sharingan is an unstable double-edged sword, especially Sasuke, who has been blinded by hatred, and if he goes down the path of revenge, he is likely to do extreme things that harm Konoha. ”
As for making up for the lack of power in the Sharingan, Hizashi believes in Kakashi.
Whether it is the sharp and swift White Fang Knife Technique, or the Thunder Escape Thousand Bird System Ninjutsu developed with the Sword Technique, it is enough for Sasuke to become a powerful ninja in the future.
"Yes, then I'll go down, Hokage-sama."
"Go ahead. There will also be a snack on the dark side, and the affairs of the garrison can be relaxed a little. ”
Kakashi nodded and exited the office.

"I didn't expect the old man to interfere in the battlefield on the other side of the Land of Rain, fighting on two fronts, and I always feel that the battle on the chessboard is getting more and more intense."
When the military of the Oni Country began to indirectly interfere in the civil war of the rain with armed forces, Kazuhime also got a message from the military early, asking her to arrange the corresponding arrangements in the country of waves.
However, with the changes in the international situation, the military will definitely make other deployments on the original plan, which Yiji has long expected.
After all, the opponent is the Fire Country, which is more powerful than the Wind Country, and there are other great powers involved, if you continue to follow the steps, there will definitely be big problems in the end.
"Miss, now is not the time to think about the affairs of the Land of Rain, and the current situation in the Land of Waves is not optimistic."
The one who was discussing things in the conference room with Kazuhime was the deputy Cardo.
Although the situation in the Land of Rain will affect the situation in the Land of Waves, the Country of Rain is too far away from this side after all, and I can only trust the deployment of the military over there.
"I know that, according to you, there is a great deal of resistance among the people of Poland to international workers' cooperatives."
Kazuhime learned about this part.
"Yes, it went well at first, but in the last day or two, the wind has started to slow down. It seems that the diplomats of the country of waves are also accusing us of trying to create internal turmoil in the country of waves. Many people in the country of waves also seem to be quite resistant to cooperatives. ”
Cardo recounted the worst of the matter one by one, and a fierce light appeared in his eyes.
"Was it the Daimyo of the Land of Waves who was the first to attack? I didn't expect him to have these skills. ”
"After all, he is an official figure in the country of waves, and he has organized several anti-piracy operations in the past, although they have ended in failure, but he has accumulated a high reputation among the people. As long as he denies the workers' cooperatives, it can indeed have such an effect. ”
Cardo said.
"It seems that repaying the debt has not caused him too much pressure. There is also leisure interfering with our movements. ”
"The Fire Nation is behind the scenes, and this has nothing to do with the will of the Daimyo of the Wave Country."
The country of demons is strong, but the country of fire is closer to the country of waves.
Veto the proposal of the Fire Nation Daimyo even though the Fire Nation will not do anything on the surface, but there are a hundred ways to make the Wave Country Daimyo lose face.
Whether the Daimyo of Wave Country was active or forced, his position was unimportant from the beginning.
The Oni Nation needs to find an excuse from him, and the Fire Nation needs such an excuse as well.
The situation has evolved to the present, and it is already a contest between the country of ghosts and the country of fire.
"What about the Merchant Alliance of the Lonely Island? Are they also getting into action? ”
"Yes, a group of unidentified ninjas have settled in, and they have come to deal with us. From now on, Miss Kazuhime should pay attention to her own safety. ”
A direct blow from the orthodox reputation, and behind the scenes, arrange for the dead ninja to carry out the assassination plan.
The Alliance of Lonely Island Merchants, which is already backed by the Fire Nation, can definitely do such a thing.
It is also the best way to end the dispute in the Land of Waves as soon as possible.
Although it may cause trouble in the future, if it drags on, it will be detrimental to the Fire Nation and the Merchant Alliance.
The other party wants to cut through the mess quickly and end everything.
The Oni Country's interference in the Rain Civil War has alerted the Fire Country enough.
"Acting according to the original plan, it is not yet time to completely tear the skin of the skin. The accumulation of cooperatives is still too weak, so first arrange the newspaper to control public opinion. ”
The suppression of the Fire Nation is faster than expected, which means that the top management of the Fire Nation has realized the harmfulness of this cooperative.
Then the next action needs to be more cautious.
"Yes. Then I'll go down and make arrangements. ”
Cardo nodded and stepped out.

The land of thunder, the Thunder Gorge.
In the vast white mist, thousands of mountains and rivers seem to stand among them.
In front of one of the mountains, the four generations of thunder shadows with strong physiques turned into lightning like wild bulls and rushed towards the mountains.
Rumble!
The huge mountain suddenly shook and was shocked by the lightning, opening a huge hole.
Countless large pieces of rubble fell on the body of the four generations of Thunder Shadow, and were shaken apart by the lightning armor on the surface of the four generations of Thunder Shadow.
The four generations of Thunder Shadow moved their shoulders and made a crisp sound full of explosive power, which made the four generations of Thunder Shadow nod with satisfaction.
"How's it going, Boss?"
Darui, who was in charge of the guard, walked over with a broad-bladed sword on his back.
"I've mastered the basics, and the secret technique of strengthening the internal organs of Sugi Village is really extraordinary."
The fourth generation of Thunder Shadow said.
In the past, when a rock fell on his body, it might have caused a shock pain inside his body, but now that the boulder has fallen on his body, his body can no longer feel the so-called tremor.
This also means that Sugi no Village's visceral enhancement secret technique is actually effective, and it complements his Thunder Escape Chakra mode to a certain extent.
"It seems that the next time I encounter the soft fist of the Hyuga clan, the boss won't have to worry too much."
As the Thunder Shadow's guard, Darui naturally knew the paranoia in the hearts of the four generations of Thunder Shadow, and was sincerely happy for the strength of the Thunder Shadow.
But the four generations of Thunder Shadow did not get carried away because of the increase in strength.
He said rationally, "No, I can't tell if Hinata Ayane's soft fist is useless to me. ”
"Huh?"
"That woman is not so easy to deal with, only when you really fight her, will you understand how terrible her soft fist is. Only by grinding her internal organs into hard steel may be able to defend against her soft fists. ”
The fourth generation of Lei Ying had a serious face.
"Ah, that's a terrible existence, the Hyuga clan ......"
Seeing his own boss deal with it so solemnly, Darui couldn't help but be secretly frightened, and raised Hinata Ayane's danger level by another level.
At this moment, a figure appeared not far away and rushed over using the teleportation technique.
It's another upper ninja guardian Nozomi who is proficient in illusion and medical ninjutsu, and is also a powerful sentient ninja.
"Hee, what's wrong, in such a hurry?"
The fourth generation of Thunder Shadow saw that Xi had something to do, so he had to temporarily suspend the next training.
"Lord Thunder Shadow, Azabui has just sent someone over, and it seems to be a very important matter to discuss with Lord Thunder Shadow."
"Azabui?"
The fourth generation of Thunder Shadow raised his eyebrows.
Standing in place and pondering for a moment, the four generations of Thunder Shadow made a decision.
"In that case, there's no way, Darui, pack your things."
"Yes, Boss."
Darui replied solemnly.
Yunlei Gorge belongs to the territory of Yunyin Village, but it is located in an extremely remote area of Yunyin Village, and it is quite a long distance from the Thunder Shadow Building.
After about half an hour, Thunder Shadow returned to the Thunder Shadow Building with Darui and Nozomi, as well as the dark shinobi lurking in the shadows.
"Mabuyi, what happened to send someone to call me back? Don't you know that my cultivation is at a critical moment? ”
As soon as he entered the office, the fourth generation of Lei Ying was dissatisfied with his personal secretary.
Azabui bowed slightly to the four generations of Thunder Shadow.
"I'm sorry to let you come back at this time. However, there is a very important matter at the moment, which must be decided by Lord Thunder Shadow himself. ”
As he spoke, Azabui's gaze swept towards Darui and Nozomi behind the four generations of Thunder Shadows.
Darui and Nozomi glanced at each other, nodded, and quietly exited the room, and all the surrounding shadows left for the time being, leaving only the four generations of Thunder Shadow and Azabuyi.
"What the hell is so solemn?"
The fourth generation of Thunder Shadow walked over and continued to ask.
Ma Buyi took out a letter and handed it to the four generations of Thunder Shadow.
"This is a letter from His Excellency the Daimyo, and according to the messenger, it is related to the country of ghosts. The messenger said that only Lord Thunder Shadow was allowed to watch alone. ”
After saying that, Ma Buyi also stepped aside.
"The land of ghosts?"
The fourth generation of Thunder Shadow was even more curious, took the letter, opened the envelope, took out the paper inside, spread it out in front of him and began to scan.
After reading it, the four generations of Thunder Shadow stuffed the letter paper into the envelope, and his face was heavy.
After stopping in place for a long time, the fourth generation of Lei Ying said to Azabuyi: "Mabuyi, select twenty upper ninjas and three hundred middle ninjas, and be on call in the village at any time." I'm going to go to the Daimyo's Mansion now, and I have important matters to discuss. ”
"Yes, have a nice trip, Lord Thunder Shadow."
Ma Buyi bowed slightly and sent the four generations of Thunder Shadow away.
