There are both geniuses and mediocre talents in this world, but it is undeniable that the vast majority of people cannot surpass geniuses in their lifetime, and it is not the so-called talent that traps them, but their determination.

Once a creature has confirmed a certain determination, it will not give up even if it encounters any obstacles, and only with this determination to never give up can it be called a true genius.

And Maitkai has undoubtedly done that.

……

……

In the following time, after the previous battle, the two who were still a little stranger quickly became acquainted, and after chatting for a while, Maitkai got up and excitedly said that he wanted to take Uchiha to a place.

The Uchiha was also curious about this, so he left with Maitkai.

Stomp Tread...

Two thin figures weave through the forest, and the trees here are very sparse due to being inside Konoha, which is said to be to prevent enemy ninjas from lurking inside, causing Konoha's defenses to fail.

Following Maitkai's figure, after passing through one bush after another, Maitkai's pace finally began to slow down, and the Uchiha also slowed down, slowly following Maitkai.

Babbling.

The bushes stirred, and then a pair of hands reached out from them, pushing the not-so-dense bushes to the sides, and then the figures of Uchiha and Maitkai appeared from it.

"This is it, Division, be quiet, I'll take you to see someone."

As soon as he walked out, he was faced by a clear river, the current was very gentle, and even some fish and shrimp could be seen through the water, Maitkai asked the Uchiha to walk quietly, and then walked down the river step by step.

One-step.

Two steps.

Just a few dozen steps forward, the gentle river suddenly kicked up, the two stopped, Uchiha looked forward, and suddenly saw a vertical waterfall.

Whoa—

The rushing river cascades down the waterfall with the sound of surging water.

"It's ......"

"Look, Kakashi's guy is here!"

The Uchiha had felt a little strange and was about to ask, but Maitkai interrupted with a happy expression, and then stretched out his hand to the bottom of the waterfall.

The two of them are located right next to the waterfall, and as long as they are half a step close to the river, they will be swept into the waterfall by the rushing river, so the two of them always maintain the state of chakra outbreak to avoid accidents.

After hearing Maitkai's voice, Uchiha followed the drop of his fingers and leaned down to look, and suddenly, a silver-white grass came into view......

No, if you look closely, it looks like Kakashi's hair.

Puzzled, he continued to look and saw that it was Kakashi Hachiki standing below, his eyes closed, his feet suspended on the water, struggling to maintain the operation of Chakra while bearing the impact of the waterfall.

Just when Uchiha was curious about what Kakashi was going to do, suddenly, Kakashi's eyes opened, and he quickly grabbed the short knife on his waist and slashed at the water!

Zheng ...... Click.

The short knife was unsheathed, but it was quickly pressed back by the heavy current, resulting in this slash not succeeding, but Kakashi was almost unable to maintain his position of treading water because of this attack.

"What is Kakashi doing here?"

Beside him, Maitkai was looking confused, using the waterfall to practice his physical skills, a method he often used, but trying to draw a knife under the raging waterfall like Kakashi made him very confused.

"Perhaps...... It's a practice of drawing speed. ”

The Uchiha on the side saw the reason and explained.

Having practiced the knife technique for a while, he naturally saw that Kakashi was practicing the speed of drawing the knife with the help of the pressure of the water current.

This method is very dangerous, if you are not careful, it is easy to injure the arm, but if you can pull out the knife against the pressure of the current, or even cut the water in half.

Then, this person can at least reach the strength of the elite ninja!

Zheng ...... Click.

Kakashi at the bottom of the waterfall was still silently practicing drawing his sword, judging by his dripping hair and his shoulder, which had been bruised by the long-term pressure of the current, Kakashi had been practicing like this for at least a few days.

"Why, exactly? Is it because of the White Fang thing? ”

According to Kakashi's personality in the past, although he worked hard, he would not adopt such an extreme cultivation method, and the only thing that could force him to change was his father's reputation in the village.

Konoha White Fang's reputation is too great, as the son of White Fang, although Kakashi is also good enough, but compared to his father, it is still inadequate, plus the recent news of the failure of Hachiki Sakumo's mission, although it has not yet fermented in the village, but through Uchiha Fugaku's previous words, it is obvious that it is already in the plan.

In this case, if Kakashi wants to help his father, then he will only have a better performance, and only if he has the attention of the Konoha higher-ups can he have a chance to help his father.

"But what you don't know is that the so-called mission failure is just a means used by the higher management to suppress your father's prestige, in this case, let alone an insignificant genius, even as a superior ninja, he can't disobey the decision of the high-level."

"The reason for all this is just to pave the way for the next generation of Hokage."

Uchiha sighed in his heart, if there is really anything wrong with Hachiki Shuoshige, it is only one, that is, he is not a candidate chosen by the top, that is:

He's not the right fit.

Meanwhile.

Seeing that Uchiha was silent, Maitkai next to him felt a little strange, and at the same time, he looked at Kakashi, who was cultivating under the waterfall, and a touch of battle intent surged in his heart.

"Oh oh! This is youth! Worthy of my ...... Woowoo woo ......"

Halfway through his words, he was blindfolded by the Uchiha behind him, with helplessness in his eyes, he had just fought with Maitkai, and at this time he didn't want to meet Kakashi so soon.

Especially after thinking about the reason behind the white fang, Uchiha Tsukasa was even more reluctant to contact Kakashi at this sensitive time, presumably this was also the reason why Uchiha Fugaku came before.

"Listen to Kai, it's not a man's youth to disturb other people's cultivation, the real opponents are all working hard in places where the other party can't see, waiting for the final battle to come."

"Before that, any early meeting was an insult to the battle, did you know that? Triumphant! ”

Facing the Uchiha's eyes that began to become dangerous, Maitkai nodded hurriedly:

"Woo woo woo ......"

"What do you say? I can't hear clearly. ”

It was a bit troublesome to hear the voice clearly, and the Uchiha let go of his hand a little, and Maitkai, who was getting a breather, immediately shouted:

"I said, I understand, this is my youth...... Woooooo ”

With a black face, he covered Maitkai's mouth again, Uchiha didn't say much, and quickly left here with Maitkai, and at the same time, Kakashi, who was cultivating under the waterfall, also opened his eyes in confusion and said in confusion:

"Huh? How do you feel like someone was around just now? ”

"Forget it, it should be an illusion, the most important thing now is cultivation!"

After thinking about it for a while, Kakashi gave up on the issue, and at the thought of the recent slander against his father in the village, Kakashi couldn't help but clench his fists and feel very angry.

"Father! I'm going to prove you right! I want those who slander you to know that you are the greatest ninja of all! ”

After saying that, he closed his eyes and threw himself into the harsh practice again.
