Nara clan land.

Located in the prosperous section of Konoha Street, since the creation of Konoha, it has been the promoter of Konoha Fire Will, and also the practitioner and inheritor of Fire Will.

No matter what era, it is the Konoha Hokage family, the ninja clan that relies on it. Each patriarch also holds the position of the leader of the Konoha Shinobi squad.

Under the veranda of the back house, a boy with a face very similar to Lu Jiu walked over.

As soon as he came over, he scratched his head, looked unmotivated, and asked:

"Dad, did you call me?"

"Yes, just idle and bored, come and play a game of chess with me."

The boy is the son of Shikahisa named Shikamaru Nara.

Eight years old, he was a student at a ninja school.

The grades belong to the kind that are not up or down, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like the results that the son of the patriarch of the Nara clan should get.

The teacher has also reported to Lu Jiu more than once that it would be nice if this child could be more motivated, and he always feels that every exam is like a perfunctory task assigned by the school.

For this, Lu Jiu only smiled, and did not criticize Shikamaru harshly.

After all, the cultivation at home is already very hard, and the ninja school is all about teaching some basic things, which only need to be mastered before graduation, and he believes in the ability of his son Shikamaru.

It's not that I look down on ninja schools, but it's a place where it's hard to cultivate real talents with that kind of teaching method.

The ninja clan has a ninja training method, and the ninja children should also focus on family ninjutsu and polish the foundation in the ninja school. As long as the test scores are not at the bottom and bring huge criticism, there is no problem.

Lu Jiu glanced at the chessboard placed in front of Lu Jiu, sighed rather boredly, and finally sat down opposite Lu Jiu honestly, raised his head and looked at Lu Jiu.

"First of all, I'm very slow at chess."

"It's okay, you're on vacation anyway, and school won't start until February next year."

Lu Jiu said with a smile.

"Really...... At most four o'clock in the afternoon, Ding Ci found a delicious barbecue restaurant and invited me to come along. And that troublesome woman in Ino. ”

Shikamaru said.

"In this way, it's no problem to hang out with friends, I won't cook your meal that night, I wish you a good time outside."

Lu Jiu nodded, no objection.

Dingji and Ino are children of the same age as the Akido clan and the Yamanaka clan respectively, and they are also classmates of their son Shikamaru.

The new generation of pigs, deer and butterflies are the pillars of the future who will shoulder the burden of the village, and Lu Jiu is also very much looking forward to the growth of the three.

"Speaking of which, how about the two children, Naruto and Sasuke, in school? How does it make you feel? ”

Lu Jiu asked purposefully while talking to Shikamaru in the next period.

Sure enough, they didn't specifically ask me to play chess, so troublesome. Shikamaru was helpless in his heart, and he knew that his father was not playing chess with him, not to pass the time at will.

Shikamaru didn't hide Shikaku's question, stared down at the chessboard, and said softly: "Naruto looks a little silly, but his stamina is amazing, his physical strength is also very good, and sometimes very smart thoughts flash in his brain. Should I say it's a stupid person, or is it a genius? The subtle guy in between. ”

"Looks like you think highly of him."

Shikaku was surprised.

He knew how Naruto Uzumaki, the son of the fourth generation of Hokage, was evaluated in the village, and in the school, it seemed that he also had the shameful title of 'crane tail', ranking first from the bottom in the ninjutsu exam, and many teachers gave up on this child.

Thinking of the glorious achievements of the four generations of Hokage when he was a child, Shikaku once wondered if Naruto Uzumaki inherited his father's true bloodline? The gap between the two fathers and sons is really a bit big.

Even if the evaluation in the mouth of his son Shikamaru is not bad, but compared with his father, it is still a big difference.

However, his stamina and physical strength are amazing, and his mental condition is very strong, which does not surprise Shikahisa.

After all, the other party still has the blood of the Vortex clan flowing in his body, and the bloodline of that family, in terms of vitality, is simply an unbeatable cockroach, and it is the most suitable sealing container for tailed beasts.

The three nine-tailed pillars of Konoha all have the bloodline of the Vortex Clan, which shows the strength of the Vortex Clan's bloodline.

"After all, we usually play together, and I wonder if I should take him with me when I go to have a barbecue in the evening...... However, Ino seems to hate Naruto a little because of Sasuke. ”

Shikamaru complained.

Because one is the tail of the crane in the class, and the other is the chief student in the class, he is born to be the wrong eye, Naruto has also challenged Sasuke many times, and each time he has been solved cleanly by Sasuke. But Naruto's behavior was also disgusted by Sasuke's support fan group, and the Ino in his mouth was one of the members of Sasuke's support fan group.

A stinky and beautiful woman.

"Take him with me, Ino is just talking, I believe that Haiyi's tutor will not cause discord between her and her classmates."

That's the child of the fourth generation, and Lu Jiu knows that Hai Yi knows the importance of teaching Ino.

Shikamaru nodded, and didn't say whether he agreed or disagreed.

"As for Sasuke, it's still the same, since that incident...... After it happened, it was like a lump of ice, and it was difficult for anyone to approach his side, not knowing what was going on in his mind all day. For power, there is an extraordinary attachment to it. If you don't guide it well, there may be big problems. ”

"I was right."

Although Shikamaru's judgment cannot be said to be all correct, Shikaku still gave affirmation.

"It's nothing, because these two guys are too prominent in the class. They are all lonely people in the same situation, one is ostracized, and the other wants to be alienated from others...... Well, it's all problem students. ”

Shikamaru said.

"Speaking of problem students, you who sleep in class every day are also one of the problem students."

Shikaku laughed.

Shikamaru coughed.

"That's no way, the cultivation at home is very hard, and there will definitely be no spiritual study in school the next day, anyway, I have mastered all the knowledge before the fourth grade, and there is no problem."

"It's not a good thing to be too proud, you're far from the real geniuses. Moreover, in the final analysis, that knowledge is theoretical knowledge in books, and lacks practical verification, so don't become a person who talks on paper. ”

Lu Jiu's face became serious.

"I understand."

Shikamaru pursed his lips.

"Forget it, I'll take you out to play in the next year, it won't take long anyway."

"And what about your job?"

"I'll ask for leave over there, so I'll just go out for a while."

"Going abroad?"

"It's okay at home, and now the international situation is a bit grim for Konoha, and I can't leave Konoha too far."

Shikaku replied.

"I heard there's a war going on outside, right?"

Shikamaru thought for a moment and asked.

Lu Jiu hesitated for a moment, but nodded.

His son has shown a high IQ that is different from ordinary people since he was a child, and sometimes, it is not good to treat him as a real child.

Although it is a little naïve in some aspects, it is also terrifying to mature in some aspects.

Therefore, the way to educate the son is to educate freely under the rules, to guide when necessary, and to let oneself absorb knowledge and grow up when it is not necessary.

Neither too tightly nor completely free of charge.

"It's just that the ninja troops from the Daimyo's Mansion were dispatched, and the ninja troops of Konoha were only stationed at the border to prevent the ninja troops of the Oni Country from breaking into the territory of the Fire Country, and did not directly enter the battlefield."

Shikaku continued.

"War...... What does it look like? ”

Shikamaru asked curiously.

I remember that four years ago, Konoha was still fighting with other ninja villages, and the opponent was Yunyin.

An armistice was also signed that year, but when the armistice was signed, there was a lot of turmoil, which was related to the Hyuga clan.

Shikamaru didn't know anything about it, but he vaguely remembered that at that time, many people pointed behind the Hyuga clan and said some ugly things.

"It's not a happy thing after all, and many people will die, whether it's their own people or enemies."

Lu Jiu said in a deep voice.

"Then why fight? Since there will be dead people on both sides. ”

Shikamaru was puzzled.

"There are many reasons, but it is difficult to judge the two sides of the war, good and evil, and the key is to decide the winner and the loser. The family's mission is to do everything in their power to help the Hokage and defeat all enemies who are hostile to the Fire Nation. This is the mission of the Nara clan. Sooner or later, this task will also be implemented on you. ”

Shikaku replied.

"It's troublesome."

Shikamaru smacked his mouth.

War is too far away from him.

And with a village as big as Konoha, even if it fails, it won't be so easy.

At least from his father's face, there was no sign that the enemy was strong enough to make the family desperate.

That means it's likely to be a close fight.

"I've always had a question about that."

After Shikamaru fell, he raised his head.

"What?"

"Pay attention to Sasuke, I can understand that, after all, he is a survivor of the Uchiha clan, and there is a lot of attention. Why should Naruto pay attention too? ”

This is something Shikamaru can't understand.

"He's a descendant of the Uzumaki."

"The Vortex Clan? I did see it in the textbook, and it seems that the country of the vortex where the Uzumaki clan is located has been destroyed for a long time. ”

Shikamaru thought of something.

"That's it, the Uzumaki Clan's former allies of Konoha."

"In that case, why do some adults in the village hate Naruto so much?"

Lu Jiu frowned.

Some adults' words are a little unbearable even for a child.

And Naruto is usually a little naughty, and he hasn't done anything evil.

His family is still an ally of Konoha and should be treated with courtesy.

"The Uzumaki clan used to be Konoha's allies, but after being reborn, the Uzumaki clan has now taken refuge in the country of ghosts, and is hostile to the country of fire and Konoha."

Lu Jiu said without raising his eyelids.

“……”

Shikamaru held the hand of the chess piece and paused in mid-air, slightly stunned.

Konoha allies who took refuge in enemy countries?

This kind of thing sounds a bit dramatic.

"Of course, the villagers are hostile to Naruto, not because of his status as a member of the Uzumaki clan, but because Naruto's parents are ninjas who are loyal to Konoha. He has nothing to do with the Uzumaki clan of the Oni Country. ”

"What's the reason for that?"

"I'll tell you when you're older. It's not something that you, a child, can know. ”

Lu Jiu refused without hesitation.

It involves the privacy of two generations of Hokage, and it is also related to the roots, which is obviously not something that can be said easily.

Even if you want to tell your son Shikamaru, it's not now.

"By the way, when you're in school in the future, don't sleep too long, it's better to listen to history lessons. Usually, the ninjutsu cultivation at home also needs to be put aside, and I will find some historical documents for you to read and understand in depth. ”

Lu Jiu suddenly mentioned this sentence.

A question mark appeared on Shikamaru's brain.

Shikaku didn't explain that Konoha's reform, this move is difficult to take, and if he fails, then, this will be inherited by Shikamaru and continue to assist the Hokage of that generation to complete the reform.

For this reason, it is necessary to know the history, understand the progress of the times, and discover the laws that can make Konoha and the Land of Fire more prosperous and powerful.

If there's a way to defeat the Oni Country, it's probably the only way.

Shikamaru's face was full of strangeness, but at Shikaku's request, he nodded seriously.

Today's father is really weird.

◎

I've been practicing with Kakashi for a while, but Sasuke still feels a little puzzled by Kakashi's teaching methods.

Because the way Kakashi taught him to practice was not at all like what a ninja should be.

It is fundamentally different from the cultivation method taught to him by his family in the past.

Moreover, Sasuke did not feel his own strength, and he was actually improved, which caused his mood to become impetuous.

Sitting in the snow of the forest filled with frozen air, Sasuke sat here, morning and afternoon, a total of more than six hours, according to the way Kakashi gave him, let his mind empty, to perceive the changes in nature, and obtain the power to make the Sharingan truly transform.

It wasn't until dusk that Sasuke opened his eyes and saw that his body was covered with snow, but he still didn't feel the power that Kakashi had said, and subconsciously looked at Kakashi, who was reading a book with his back to a tree not far away, with a look of doubt in his eyes.

"What's wrong? Looks like they're going to eat me. Can't you hold on, the little boy of the Uchiha family? ”

Kakashi didn't take his eyes off the book, but he was already aware of the unkind look Sasuke had cast at him.

Anger and dissatisfaction seem to be brewing in the stomach.

Sasuke got up from the snow and walked to Kakashi's side step by step.

"Hey, after so many days, cultivating in your way, I don't feel where the power you said is at all? That kind of thing, can it really strengthen the Uchiha clan's writing wheel eye? Or is it all you lied to me? ”

Sasuke finally asked the question.

Kakashi didn't turn his head, just nodded to himself.

"I see, it seems that Uchiha Itachi's talent is even better."

This bastard! The word 'well' popped out of Sasuke's forehead, representing the anger in his heart.

What he hates the most is hearing this man's name from other people's mouths.

"Look at the way you look now, you look hideous and vicious, even if Uchiha Itachi appears in front of you, will you really be able to keep your sanity and fight him? Uchiha Itachi is not a simple opponent, if you want to defeat him, mentality is the first requirement. If you can't do that, you'll never get revenge. ”

Kakashi calmly flipped the page and continued to read with relish, nodding at Sasuke and pointing out the flaws of the other party.

"But your cultivation is useless."

Sasuke hesitated.

"That's your own problem, you've been sitting there all day, thinking about how to kill the Itachi for half the time, right?"

Kakashi asked rhetorically.

Sasuke fell silent, apparently righted by Kakashi.

"What's the use of feeling nature? I want to learn powerful ninjutsu. ”

Sasuke frowned.

"What happens without chakra?"

Kakashi asked the question.

"Huh?"

Sasuke was stunned.

"Without chakra, ninjas can't use ninjutsu and illusions, and they can't use powerful physical arts. What I taught you is the foundation for becoming stronger, and you don't even have a basic foundation, do you want to run all the way to the end? This is a power that is more difficult for humans to grasp than chakra. ”

To be precise, Sasuke's entry is more difficult than that of ordinary people.

His obsession with revenge is too deep.

It's so deep that I can't think rationally about things.

This makes it difficult for him to calm down and perceive the natural energy of the natural world.

Of course, the country of ghosts has a very mature technology to help people complete the auxiliary potion of natural energy, but that way is suitable for ordinary people.

And for Sasuke, it may be that it is the seedlings that are fueled.

If there is no way to eliminate the anger in the other party's heart, then I am afraid that the cultivation of natural energy will stop at the initial stage for the rest of my life.

Unable to touch the realm of immortality.

The higher the degree of penetration into natural energy, the easier it is to adjust one's own state of mind.

It is not to abandon all human feelings, but to mediate the emotional world of human beings, so as to merge with the natural world.

If the mind is not quiet, the obsession is too deep, or even enters a state of compulsion, it will not be able to reach the door of natural energy.

When the country of demons has already delved into the cultivation of natural energy, all kinds of problems, Sasuke's problems are also easy to solve, but they are also the most difficult to solve.

"Is this also a mandatory way for ninjas?"

Sasuke was puzzled.

"Count it or not, there are ninjas who have mastered this power, but not all ninjas can do it. Ninjas who can sense the energy of nature, they are all powerful ninjas, and they are famous in the ninja world. However, this kind of thing is only between the two of us, and we should not mention it to anyone, not even Hokage-sama. ”

Kakashi replied.

"What, you can't be the one who deceived me, right? There is no such thing in the textbooks of the ninja school. ”

Sasuke deliberately provoked Kakashi.

Kakashi was unmoved, his eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and he smiled very happily, seeing the wonderful plot of "Intimacy Paradise".

But this smile seemed a bit obscene to Sasuke.

Is this guy really a shinobi?

Sasuke was a little unsure.

It doesn't seem to be a serious book in his hand.

Kakashi put away the "Intimacy Paradise" in his hand, put it in his ninja bag, and his eyes fell on Sasuke.

"Well, to prevent me from cheating on you, I'll show you the unique secret technique that I developed myself. If you can master the basics that I have taught you, then I will teach you this move. ”

"Unique mystic? Can you beat Itachi? ”

Sasuke's eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to ask.

"I don't know, I don't really know where Itachi's strength ceiling is, and I haven't really fought against him in the past. However, he is an awakened person with a kaleidoscope writing wheel, and his strength cannot be described by common sense. The winner or loser should be five or five. ”

Kakashi paused in reply.

"Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Eye ......"

Hearing this peculiar word, a haze flashed in Sasuke's eyes.

If he remembered correctly, Itachi had said that if he wanted to open the Kaleidoscope Sharingan, he would have to kill his closest friends.

Itachi kills his brother's best friend, Shisui, opens these eyes, and gains forbidden powers.

"Kakashi, what the hell is the Kaleidoscope Sharingan?"

Sasuke asked, looking up.

"I'm not an outsider to explain, and I don't know much about this kind of eye, only the power of legend. When you awaken this kind of eye one day, you will know what it is. ”

"I'm not going to awaken those eyes."

Killing a friend or something, it's a crooked way. Sasuke instinctively produces disgust.

"Okay, take a good look, this is the technique I will show you next, and it is also the move that I will teach you in the future. With this move, it is not very difficult to defeat Shangnin easily. ”

Kakashi raised his arm slightly, and while talking to Sasuke, the chakra that was gathered gathered gathered in his palm.

Under Sasuke's astonished gaze, the fierce blue electric light condensed in Kakashi's palm.

And it made a piercing sound like a birdsong, which made Sasuke's eardrums hurt a little and felt piercing.

"It's amazing, Chakra is so materialized to this extent......"

Chakra materialization...... It's not as simple as putting it out.

Sasuke knew that many middle ninjas couldn't do this, and those who could do it were the amazing strength of the upper ninja in the village.

Although he is a pervert, his strength is not boasted! Sasuke also no longer thinks that Kakashi will only talk big as he used to.

"This is an A-level thunder ninjutsu that I developed alone when I was about ten years old-Chidori, which is a ninjutsu that assaults the enemy at high speed, but because the noise is too loud, although the power is considerable, but if you don't have the ability to move at high speed, you can also have strong dynamic vision, and it is difficult to hit the enemy. In the future, you will open the writing wheel eye, and your dynamic vision will be greatly enhanced, and it will not be difficult to master this trick as long as you focus on physical training. ”

Kakashi explained.

"Ten?"

Sasuke picked up an astonishing piece of information from it.

At the age of ten, he created an A-level difficult ninjutsu alone?

This left Sasuke a little dumbfounded.

"Any questions?"

"I just think your talent is amazing, and you were able to develop such a powerful ninjutsu when you were in a ninja school."

Sasuke said.

"No, at that time, I had already graduated from the ninja school."

"Huh?"

"Although you may not believe it, I graduated from the ninja school at the age of five, and at the age of six, I passed the middle ninja exam and became the middle ninja of the village."

Kakashi recounts his mediocre ninja resume.

“……”

Sasuke looked at Kakashina's calm appearance, is this the hateful face of a genius?

Sasuke felt a wave of depression in his heart for no reason.

Compared with Kakashi, who graduated at the age of five, became a middle ninja at the age of six, and independently developed A-level ninjutsu at the age of ten, he seems a little embarrassed as a 'genius' of the ninja school.

Such an achievement, even the Itachi, whom he regarded as an enemy, did not achieve.

By following this man, you might be able to kill Itachi and revive the Uchiha's prestige! Sasuke's heart was filled with eagerness.

It seemed that he also saw the positivity on Sasuke's face, and Kakashi nodded in satisfaction, it seemed that his stimulation still had some effect.

"Next, here's it."

As he spoke, the thunder light in Kakashi's hand became more condensed, and it produced a very sharp aura, which made Sasuke feel a pain in his face, as if he had been punctured by something, and subconsciously took a few steps back.

Not only that, but the birdsong disappeared, and the thunder gathered silently in Kakashi's hands.

"It's ......"

"The appearance is similar to Chidori, but these are two different ninjutsu. Chidori is suitable for frontal dashes and harassing the enemy's attention. And this one is Rachel, silent and suitable for assassination. In order for you to feel it intuitively, I will let you feel its thrust aura, in fact, when assassinating the enemy, there is no aura. ”

As he spoke, the stinging sensation from the thunder light disappeared from the air, and if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Sasuke would have felt that Kakashi didn't even have anything in his hands.

Quietly approaching the enemy's rear with this move, Sasuke didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be.

"The focus of the two ninjutsu is different, and according to the changes in the battle situation, what ninjutsu to use can only be judged by one's own experience. Finally, it is on this basis that the technique is derived. ”

Kakashi slammed his palm.

Sasuke only saw a flash of lightning flash in front of his eyes, and he couldn't catch the track.

When I turned my head to look, a row of trees had been cut off from the middle and collapsed to the ground.

The incision is smooth, like a flat mirror.

Moreover, when the thunder swept out, it also did not make any sound, silent.

"Don't be so surprised, although I developed these ninjutsu, they are not what I am best at, what I am best at is improving the white fang knife technique passed down from my father."

Kakashi dissipated the thunder light in his hand and placed it on the hilt of the White Fang Short Knife behind him.

Sasuke also took a look, not seeing Kakashi's ability in swordsmanship.

"I won't show the sword technique, for you, learn the Thunder Dun Ninjutsu I showed before, and you will be qualified to follow me to learn the White Fang Sword Technique. That was the foundation of the White Fang Knife Technique. And before that, perceiving nature and emptying the distracting thoughts in the heart is the foundation of the foundation. I've already prescribed the conditions, but these are inseparable from your own exercise. ”

"I see."

Although Sasuke tried to calm his heart, the fanaticism in his eyes could not be concealed.

Really...... Or is it a pure thirst for power? Itachi had too much influence on him. Kakashi said silently.

However, there is still a lot of time, and he has time to train Sasuke.
