Quest Master of Konoha: Chapter 8 Getting started
Konoha Village, in the No. 14 training ground.
Nohara Rin, Uchiha Obito, and Mori Masako are playing a game of hide-and-seek by kicking the jars.
This is a very simple and popular little game. The person in charge of catching only needs to touch the other two people with his hand to be considered a victory, and as long as one of the other two people kicks the jar, it is considered a victory.
This is the collision of protection and destruction.
Uchiha Obito thought that Hatake Kakashi, who had a bug in the game, did not participate, and he would win very smoothly.
Ideals are always beautiful, but reality is very skinny.
He has lost three games in a row, no matter how hard he tries, he can't stop... Mori Yazi kicked the can.
He was completely crushed by this unremarkable girl in the class in terms of speed, reaction, and movement.
Uchiha has a heart of earth, this is a game king that is equivalent to... Kakashi, and what's more, she is not as beautiful as Rin!
"What are you thinking, Obito?" Mori Yazi suddenly approached Obito and asked in a low voice.
"Mori Yazi is not as beautiful as Lin..."
"Hey, no, what did I say?"
Uchiha Obito woke up immediately, staring at Mori Masako who was smiling with some vigilance. Just now, he seemed to be lost for a moment, and he directly said what he was thinking.
"Snapped."
The tin can was kicked away by Mori Yazi.
"Obito, you lose again." Nohara Rin said with a smile, Obito and Mori Masako also laughed, and the training ground was filled with joy for a while.
"Ah, I lost again!"
Happiness is theirs... it definitely doesn't belong to Kakashi.
He really didn't expect that Yakumo, whom he had defined as a swordsman genius a few hours ago, would have such a poor learning ability.
"Remember that there is no disorder in the linkage between the steps, breathing, and moves. The knife moves according to one's heart, not in an overly rigid format."
"The pace is messed up, start again..."
"Breathing is messed up, try again..."
"Wrong... There is a problem with the connection!"
After Yakumo failed for the fifth time, Kakashi could only helplessly support his forehead, and his face was covered with bitterness under the masked black scarf.
"This may be the process of cultivating the mind."
Just yesterday, he told his father that a classmate in the class peeked at him practicing swordsmanship. He didn't expect that what his father cared about most was the character of that classmate, not that the swordsmanship was stolen.
Kakashi told his father what happened to Yakumo recently, and he got new homework.
"Inheritance should not have a portal view. The most important thing for successors to consider is character."
This is the original words of Hatake Sakumo.
Konoha Baiya, the pattern is very large...
"Teaching others swordsmanship to prove what I have learned and seek new breakthroughs, this is my father's homework... But I don't want it to be so difficult."
"When I was learning, my father just practiced it briefly. Why can't he learn it?"
Kakashi looked at the forest in the distance full of heart, hoping that a black bear could break out and fight him.
"Kakashi, can you help me see where I am wrong?"
Yakumo's voice brought Kakashi's thoughts back to the right track. Not far in front of him, the genius he defined was using extremely messy movements to piece together the Hatake sword technique.
"Breathing is messed up! Two knives and one exhale, two knives and one inhale."
Hearing this, Yakumo immediately began to adjust the breathing rate according to Kakashi's instructions.
After dozens of practice sessions, Yakumo's physical strength reached the limit, and Kakashi's spirit also reached the limit.
"It's here today, and we'll continue tomorrow."
Kakashi could see that Yakumo-san had reached the limit of his physical strength and said.
"I only need to rest for half an hour to regain my strength, and I can continue to practice for three hours." Yakumo replied that the sun had just fallen on the horizon, and it was still early.
"Okay, I'll give you a few more rehearsals, pay attention."
This "student" may be a little dull, but he is extremely hardworking and reminds him of his father's teachings when he was a child.
"Don't underestimate those who have made progress several times, even if they only make a little progress every day, their future is equally brilliant."
Pulling out the short blade, Kakashi showed his Hatake swordsmanship skills and pace step by step. In order to facilitate Yakumo's learning, he deliberately slowed down a lot.
In the blink of an eye... it was already dark.
This is the end of the day's practice. At first, Yakumo planned to invite his friends to dinner, but found that the shops on the road were closed, so he had to give up, and each of them set foot on the road home.
"I didn't expect you to be able to persevere."
Mori Masako was very surprised by the continuous swinging of the knife for several hours. The resolute appearance of the boy when swinging the knife under the moon is difficult to associate with the image of being timid and cowardly.
"Maybe it's because I like it..."
"like…?"
"People are always willing to go for what they like, aren't they?" Yakumo looked at the moon in the sky and decided to go home to continue practicing basic swordsmanship. After all, there were only two days left before the task was completed.
In the face of Yakumo's words, Mori Masako was a little silent for a while, and people would go for the people they like, not just things.
"Do you like to practice swordsmanship?"
"I like doing tasks." Yakumo answered truthfully.
"Does the mission mean that after becoming a ninja, going to take the mission?" Mori Masako continued to ask, Yakumo's willingness to talk to her is a good sign.
"Nah."
……
On Saturday night, the familiar training ground.
On the one hand is the play time of laughter and laughter, and on the other hand is Kakashi frowning. Tonight, he proposed a new training method to abandon the moves and focus on the coordination of pace and breathing. When the two are unified, they will be brought back together. Entry.
Now Yakumo's progress is very obvious, and he can already guess the mistake he made from the change in Kakashi's eyes.
After two hours, he finally mastered the coordination of breathing and pace, and he only needed to combine his moves to learn the Hatake Swordsmanship.
Slash, step, breathe.
Striking, walking, breathing.
Yakumo practiced Hatake Swordsmanship at an extremely slow speed, but he was extremely accurate.
The Thirteenth Form did not go wrong.
The twentieth form did not go wrong.
There was nothing wrong with Form 21.
The twenty-fourth form did not go wrong.
Perfect, Yakumo completed the entire Hatake swordsmanship moves, steps and breathing exercises at a very slow speed.
"Congratulations, what you have to do in the future is to repeat the exercise countless times to make it instinctive, and you can use it as you like in battle." Kakashi immediately congratulated.
Outsiders can't understand his hard work these two days.
"I owe you a big favor." Yakumo said very solemnly.
"Sharing Eye can perfectly replicate the movements and imitate the flow of chakra, and the white eye can also see through all the secrets of Hatake Swordsmanship, which means that the cultivation method of Hatake Swordsmanship is not a secret among the high-level Konoha."
"It's not that the Hatake Swordsmanship achieved White Fang's reputation, but because of White Fang, the Hatake Swordsmanship became a so-called secret technique. In fact, Obito also learned it for a while, but he was tired and gave up..."
This is the first time Yakumo has heard so many words from Kakashi, and the reason he said so much is to make Yakumo not take the teaching as a debt.
