When Yoshito walked out of Naruto Uzumaki's house, the sky with snow had turned leaden black, and it was not yet night, so Konoha Village had to turn on the road lights in advance.

After Yoshito made an appointment with Naruto to teach him how to cook next time, he slowly walked down the road, his short body pulled out by the street lamp, and the reflection of the snow was like an illusion.

Naruto watched him go away from the window, but inwardly he was overjoyed in anticipation of the next meeting.

And the shadow clones of the three generations of Hokage Ape Tobi and Kakashi stood on the roof of Naruto's house, staring intently in the same direction.

"This kid ......"

Ape Fei Ri subconsciously wanted to light a cigarette.

But then he realized that he was a doppelganger, and he didn't hold a cigarette stick, so he could only awkwardly put his hands behind his back.

"Kakashi, what do you think?"

[I see ...... with one eye]

Kakashi was tempted to say that.

"It's rare for Uchiha to have such a soft-hearted child."

Kakashi was silent for a moment, but chose to say what he wasn't used to.

"But since he said he didn't want to be a ninja, why did you lure him into school?"

Like Sarutobi, he thought it was because he was soft-hearted and didn't want to disappoint Naruto and Sasuke so he agreed to enroll. But once enrolled, for the sake of comparison, or for the sake of competition, Yiyong will soon forget his original intention.

"I don't induce him to go to school, Uchiha will force him to do the same, and Fugaku, as the patriarch, will never allow his son to be without power. When Naruto almost fell, his extraordinary speed was proof of that. This kid has more or less been trained in physical arts. ”

Ape Fei Ri's face was flat, "But the matter of letting him go to school, one is the persuasion of knowing and reasoning, and the other is the unreasonable persecution from parents and families, in that child's heart, who is superior and who is inferior, isn't it clear at a glance?" ”

Kakashi was speechless, not knowing how to answer.

I just felt that in the heavy snow, the temperature was really outrageous, and the cold wind whining in the sky just expressed his heart for him.

The third generation of Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash has always liked to show people with a weak, gentle face, and never seems to force anyone to do what he doesn't want to do.

But in fact, he likes to lay a foreshadowing in subtleties to manipulate people's hearts, or use subtle influence to sow discord and make others always act according to his plan. That's how he's mastered Konoha for years, and he doesn't mean to hide it from Kakashi.

In his mind, once he couldn't support it anymore, among Konoha the current young generation, only Kakashi had the hope and ability to inherit the Hokage's position. And the Hokage, who was born as an ordinary ninja, lacks strength, and it is not only normal to use some mental techniques, but also as it should be.

"Besides, don't forget, Zhishui is also a soft-hearted child."

"He rarely takes human lives, but he has defeated countless enemies. It was these survivors who passed on his achievements by word of mouth, so that the name of 'Instant Stop Water' spread throughout the ninja world.

"Kakashi, Konoha needs ruthless ninjas to protect herself, but she also needs young people full of ideals and tenderness to balance it. Use the former to deal with Konoha's enemies, and rely on the latter to increase Konoha allies and gain a good reputation. Only in this way can the village gradually move from seeing the light to gradually coming to the table.

And a child like Yiyong is very suitable for the second type. In order to help Naruto, whom he didn't know, he dared to ask me, the Hokage, a stern (but not really) question. One can imagine how much courage and strength he can burst out in order to get more people out of pain and predicament......"

"When the time comes, as long as what the village asks him to do is in line with his own judgment, what reason does he have to refuse to become a ninja again?"

He turned around, patted Kakashi on the shoulder and sighed, "Kakashi, there's a lot more you have to learn." ”

With that, he turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared without a trace, leaving Kakashi alone.

"Is it his own judgment, or is it the judgment of the subtle guidance of the village's higher-ups?"

He touched his pocket, which contained his treasured collection of out-of-print adult books.

"Sure enough, I still prefer to deal with superficial things."

……

After crossing the Konoha River and walking on the forest path where he first encountered Naruto, he gradually resumed the operation of the breath of fire.

He had temporarily stopped breathing while he was at Naruto's house just now.

In winter, the interior is very dry and the temperature is high, and if you make a mistake, it can cause a fire.

But outside in the snow, Yi Yong didn't care.

Under the urging of his concentrated energy, his whole body was bubbling with thick white gas, and the air around his body was faintly distorted, far beyond what Purgatory Kyojuro could have done when he was on Earth.

This is not because of how high his Yan Hu attainments are, but more because the natural energy that the Flame Breath induces in this world is already very violent, and even if he uses the transparent world to control it slightly, there is no guarantee that it will not go wrong.

If the power brought by the water call is regarded as a slightly naughty dolphin, then the power brought by the fire call is like a mad cow scurrying around, which is not controlled at all.

This is still not involved in refining chakra, but just using natural energy to strengthen the body.

This made Yiyong a little distressed.

Because if he wanted to reach the Resurrection Purgatory as soon as possible, he had to maintain his breathing method while he slept at night, but he didn't want to set his home entirely made of wood on fire.

What should I do now? 】

"Bravery."

With the sound of the sudden sound of stopping the water, a stone flew towards Yoshiyong with a bend, just like the shuriken thrown by Itachi Sasuke.

Yi Yong, who was concentrating all his thoughts on the breathing method, frowned and waved his hand subconsciously.

The moment the stone made contact with his fingernail, it bounced back at a faster speed, like a cannonball.

Zhishui felt threatened, as if the back of his neck was crawling with spiders.

He instinctively opened the three-hooked jade, only to see a stone swirling past his ear with the fiery air of the deformation, followed by the smell of burnt hair, and the sound of something solid exploding—

He clutched his curly sideburns and turned around like a puppet with a stiff smile.

The three trees with the neck thickness of an adult of the Autumn Road clansman all made a clicking and cracking sound, and then fell in the same direction, and there were pitch-black scorch marks at the fracture of the burst, as if they had been blasted by a detonating charm.

"It seems that I won't be able to greet you in this way in the future......"

After making sure that the trees would not be ignited, Zhishui turned his head stupidly, looked at the dignified Yiyong, and pretended to pat his chest, "Even if the trees are fragile in winter, it is scary for you to come like this." Don't do it in front of people in the future, Righteous Brave. ”

"I'm sorry."

The apology was sincere.

He had just hit back the stone when he suddenly felt a nameless fire.

Although he waved his hand subconsciously, he couldn't wait to do it with all his strength and vent all his strength.

Breathing changes one's personality and way of life, not just words.

Now it seems that setting one's house on fire is not the only hidden danger that may be caused by the righteous cultivation of the Flame Breath.

If he hurts an innocent person, then he is really to blame.

[What can I do now?] 】

"Don't keep your head down. Next time you help me make a bento, I'll reluctantly forgive you. ”

Zhishui walked to Yiyong's side, just wanted to touch the other party's head to experience the usual feeling of the ferret, but was forced to subconsciously take a step back by the high temperature.

"You're so hot."

He thought for a moment and said, "What are you practicing what the Itachi said again...... Breathing? ”

When Itachi was training with him before, he used a strange knife technique.

If you don't match a particular breathing pattern, those movements can seem redundant and forceful, making them unsuitable for speed-hungry ninjas. The samurai of the Iron Nation would not have created this kind of swordsmanship either.

According to Itachi's speculation, the breathing method was a secret technique that Yiyong "imagined" during his years of silence to lift the overload of his body, so most of Yiyong's imaginary enemies were not humans. Maybe it was when he was a baby and saw the Nine-Tails who destroyed the village, and reflected that image in his subconscious.

Itachi was still worried about this, for fear that something was wrong with his brother's spirit.

And although Zhishui was surprised when he heard it, it didn't seem so strange when he thought that it was something invented by Yiyong.

As far as he knew, there was a genius disease in the world of ordinary people, and most of the patients were non-talkative children like Yi Yong, who were known for their rich imaginations, and some of them could even compose music at the age of three.

When the Itachi uses the "breathing method", the body temperature will also rise, but it is not as exaggerated as Yiyong is now.

The water stop visually measured that the layer of isolation layer composed of high temperature outside his body was almost fifty degrees......

"I can't control it very well."

Yiyong stopped breathing with all his might, and his flushed face gradually returned to normal.

But before the residual warmth dissipated, as soon as the snowflakes fell on his shoulders, they would melt into a flurry of water droplets.

He stared at the baby's face for a moment, and asked dryly, "Do you know that there are sparsely populated places around Konoha that are not prone to fire?" ”

He had to minimize the damage that could be caused by cultivating Yanhu.

"Hmm......"

Zhishui touched his chin, thinking of everything that had just happened, and guessed Yiyong's intention, "Yiyong, you are looking for a place to cultivate, right?" ”

"Hmm." Yiyong nodded earnestly.

"That's right."

Stopping the water paused.

"I built a hut near the waterfall behind the Minamiga River, which is just right for you. Hardly anyone will go there. ”

If the water is stopped, the righteousness will gradually rise hope,

The Minamiga River is the river behind the Uchiha clan, and it is directly opposite the Ichiha Clan Shrine, which is infinitely close to the edge of the village. It's a place where there's no enchantment covering.

But Yiyong didn't worry much about his own safety.

However, since it is a river, it should be much less risky......

"However, even if you are Itachi's younger brother, I can't help you in vain."

Zhishui leaned against the tree with his arms in his arms, and said with a smile, "And before, I helped your brother hide so many things from the patriarch and the village, you should also thank me." ”

Righteous and brave, Zhishui promised Itachi not to tell the clan or the village.

Although his stance is more inclined to Konoha, he will never betray Itachi, so he has always kept it a secret.

"What do you want me to do?"

Yi Yong's face was expressionless.

"I heard Itachi say that your breathing method can not only enhance physical skills, but you can also use breathing methods and chakra in combination with yourself, is that right?"

"Hmm."

"The last time you dealt with the Uchiha Flame, did you combine the breathing method with the chakra?"

This question has been entangled for a long time.

Yiyong can release the "Water Dragon Bullet" without a seal, which should not be as simple as the high affinity of the water attribute Chakra.

What's more, the fact that the technique can gradually become stronger is essentially different from the water dragon bullet.

"That's right."

Yi Yong's answer confirmed Shisui's suspicion, "That's the tenth sword type of Water Breath. ”

"Sure enough."

Zhishui clapped his hands excitedly. "That's all right, Yiyong, take all your strength, cooperate with Chakra to use your sword shape to compete with me once, and I'll lend you the hut?"

It's not that Zhishui has any coveting of breathing, as long as he wants, he can always copy the unique breathing rhythm and movements from Itachi.

Zhishui himself didn't crave power, and with what his eyes could do, it was really hard for anything to get into his eyes.

The reason why such a request was made to Yiyong was purely out of curiosity, what a true genius was like, and how far he could go.

And more importantly, once Itachi's fears become a reality-

The Righteous Warrior became a weapon of the clan, and how much did it affect the balance between the village and the Uchiha.

He didn't know anything about it, and it was really hard to sleep.

"But don't worry too much, I'll show mercy to your men."

Yiyong fell silent.

During this time with the children of his clan, he had learned that fighting each other was a means for ninjas to grow up with each other, and not just for the boring reason of showing off their strength.

So he no longer resists the fight as much as he did before.

It's just, stop the water and let him go all out?

"You're going to get hurt."

After thinking about it for a long time, he squeezed out this sentence, "It's better not to keep your hands." ”

"So you said yes?"

Zhishui raised his eyebrows, but he didn't pay attention to the reminder of righteousness.

"Hmm."

Yiyong nodded, "But I may need to borrow a month or two, and I have to stay there at night." ”

"It's okay, I'm on the night shift."

He stretched out his fist and put it in front of Yiyong, "Then we will decide." ”

Yi Yong looked at the fist and didn't understand the other party's intention to do this, so he ignored it and asked to himself:

"When will the competition be held?"

"When are you going to stay?"

"Three days later."

Itachi and Mom are going to have three days off, and he doesn't plan to miss it.

"Then it's set for that day."

Shisui happily made a decision, "Don't worry. If you don't know how to explain it to the patriarch, I'll explain it to you when the time comes, but you might have to panic, you won't mind, right? ”

Yi Yong shook his head.

To tell the truth, it violated the agreement with Itachi.

His parents really knew the dangers of practicing Flame Breath, and most of them wouldn't allow him to do so.

"Alright, let's go."

Zhishui patted him on the shoulder, "It was Aunt Mai Trin who happened to meet me, so she asked me to come to you." I'm going to your house today for a New Year's dinner, so remember to cook something I love to eat. ”

"Hmm...... Then we'll have to go back and buy some more food. ”！
