Chapter 225 Kakashi's Stubbornness

The violent lightning jumped on Kakashi's palm in an incredible way, and the temperature in the command room seemed to drop even lower. Uchiha Obito stared at the lightning with envy, his eyes filled with deep reluctance. He was a guy who claimed to be a genius ninja, but in the face of the facts, Obito felt lonely.

Yeshan touched Obito's hair, walked to Kakashi with a smile, and looked at him carefully with narrowed eyes.

Soon, Ye Shan saw the advantages of this technique and couldn't help but praise it: "It's a really good technique. According to the standards, it can be considered A-level."

Kakashi dispersed his chakra, and the dazzling lightning gradually weakened. He wiped the sweat from his forehead. It was obvious that the ninjutsu just now was a great burden for him: "Master, what do you think is the shortcoming of this technique?"

The praise in Ye Shan's eyes became stronger. It was a good thing for a young man to admire the strong, but being overconfident could easily turn into arrogance. In a ninja battle, arrogance was never allowed, because every grown-up ninja had his own trump card. Ye Shan was very pleased that Kakashi could remain neither humble nor overbearing, and could first ask about the shortcomings instead of the strengths.

"This technique is very powerful. The concentrated lightning chakra is extremely penetrating. Combined with your speed, it will be a killer move." Ye Shan first commented on the advantages, and then he pointed out the disadvantages: "However, it is very risky for a ninja to concentrate all his strength in one place during a battle. The paralysis effect of lightning chakra will cause your pain perception to decrease. In addition, your vision is easily filled with dazzling lightning, which will also hinder your observation ability."

"Kakashi, this technique is really good, but it is not the most suitable for you. I hope you can use this technique as little as possible in battle. Killing one thousand enemies and injuring eight hundred of your own is never a priority for a ninja. Remember?"

Hatake Kakashi nodded thoughtfully. He also discovered drawbacks during the ninjutsu experiment, and they were almost the same as what Ye Shan said. However, he still asked unwillingly, "Is there no way to make up for the shortcomings?"

Ye Shan glanced at Uchiha Obito and chuckled, "Not at the moment, maybe Obito can perform this technique better than you."

Kakashi frowned and said nothing. After a moment, he suddenly realized and said, "Because of the Sharingan?"

"Yes, the dynamic vision of the Uchiha clan ninjas who have opened the Sharingan has reached an abnormal level. They can easily avoid the visual obstacles caused by lightning, and can even predict the enemy's next move and adjust in time. Your technique is simply tailor-made for them." Ye Shan spread his hands and said.

Kakashi was a little frustrated. He had pondered over this technique, but he did not expect that it would not be so compatible with himself. He could not help but feel disappointed.

Ye Shan smiled, stroked Kakashi's hair and said: "Don't be disappointed, the development of Chidori will be very helpful for your growth. Have you forgotten the unique skill that made Konoha White Fang famous?"

"Are you talking about Xiangleisha?!" Kakashi perked up and his eyes became lively.

"Yes, it's Xianglei Sha!" Ye Shan took a step back, and tiny arcs of electricity appeared on the surface of his body. The arcs were as thin as hair, but so clearly visible: "The secret of Xianglei Sha lies in concentration. Concentrate the lightning attribute chakra on the soles of your feet, and use the instantaneous explosive power to obtain a speed that is difficult for the naked eye to capture. It can often kill the enemy in an instant. It is the highest application of the lightning attribute."

As he spoke, Ye Shan disappeared from the sight of the four people, and when he reappeared, he was standing upside down on the roof: "Kakashi, this is the ninjutsu that you are destined to inherit. I am just a transitional person. It is up to you to carry forward Hatake Sakumo's legacy."

Kakashi pursed his lips, his eyes dimmed, he tilted his head, no longer as excited as before.

"No, even if I don't practice that man's secret technique, I can still become an excellent ninja." Kakashi said.

"What did you say?"

Ye Shan's smile froze at the corners of his mouth, and he shouted in disbelief: "Do you know what nonsense you are talking about?"

Kakashi raised his head stubbornly, stared into Ye Shan's eyes and said word by word: "I said, I don't need the loser's secret technique!"

"You!" Ye Shan instantly came in front of Kakashi and raised his right hand to give him a big punch, but when he looked at the other person's young face, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

"Go ahead and hit me. Even if you kill me, I still think he's a loser!" Kakashi retreated instead of advancing, and shouted: "In the ninja world, people who don't follow the rules are trash! Isn't that right?"

Ye Shan looked at Kakashi in disbelief. He never thought that he would become like this. Bitterness welled up in his heart: "Kakashi, you are still young. You have rarely seen right and wrong, you have rarely experienced the ups and downs of life, and you have even rarely met people of all kinds. When you grow up, you will naturally understand that the success or failure of a ninja is never measured by grades."

"Humph! No matter how you look at it, that guy is a loser in my heart. In the future, I want to be a ninja like my master who stands tall and proud, not someone who dies in cowardice in front of his own son!"

The long-forgotten memories came to mind, and Yeshan was silent, not knowing how to tell Kakashi that his father was the real ninja.

Knowing that it is impossible but still doing it is a kind of courage and even more a kind of integrity. Faced with life and the way of the ninja, Hatake Sakumo resolutely chose the latter. He died at the most brilliant age, and his light shined brighter than anyone else!

"Kakashi, I don't blame you. I haven't fulfilled my responsibilities over the years. But there is one thing I want you to understand. You are not allowed to say anything bad about Sakumo in front of me!"

Kakashi drooped his eyelids, not wanting to dwell on this issue too much. He seemed to have already decided that his father was a loser, even though Ye Shan had already vindicated him: "Whatever you say, it's what you say. I'll listen to you."

Yeshan fell into deep self-blame. On the night when Hatake Sakumo chose to die, he personally promised the other party that he would take good care of Kakashi, but now it seems that he is a complete loser.

No one in the world can deny the greatness of Hatake Sakumo, because Hayama will make them never see the sun the next day, except his son Kakashi.

Faced with the boy's perfunctory attitude, Ye Shan could neither hit nor scold him, so he chose to turn a blind eye and drove Kakashi away directly: "Get out! Don't let me see you before the war is over, or I'll beat you every time I see you!"

Kakashi looked at Yeshan deeply. The boy's eyes were filled with the stubbornness unique to adolescence, a kind of rebellion that could not be pulled back even by nine bulls.

After Kakashi left, Uchiha Obito tiptoed towards the door. He naturally could not just stand by and watch his best friend being wronged.

"Stop, where are you going?"

"Ah?" Uchiha Obito scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I just ate too much, I want to go to the bathroom."

"Humph! Don't go!"

"Let Kakashi reflect on himself, and you tell me about your recent training."

Uchiha Obito's face turned bitter, and he walked slowly to Ye Shan and said carefully: "I have recently practiced several fire-attribute ninjutsu, and I have made great progress in shuriken control. How about I show you?"

Ye Shan was very dissatisfied with Obito's training progress, or perhaps Kakashi's talent made him unconsciously hold Obito to a high standard: "Have you mastered the Uchiha Fire Sword?"

"No...no"

Before, Uchiha Fugaku had vowed that this child was a genius and asked him to take good care of him. But now it seems that... he is not very smart.

"Practice hard when you have nothing to do. Am I usually too gentle or have you reached your rebellious phase? If you don't improve next time, don't blame me for turning my back on you!"

"Yes!" Uchiha Obito agreed hurriedly, then looked at Ye Shan's expression and continued to move towards the door.

Ye Shan waved his hands in an upset manner and said, "Hurry up and disappear. Everyone except Shanchengxing will disappear."

Uchiha Obito pulled Harano Rin and ran away without looking back, fearing that the other party would change his mind the next second.

"Stinky boy!" Ye Shan scolded with a smile, then waved his hand to signal Shan Chengxing to come forward, looked carefully at the familiar face, and asked in a gentle voice: "How have you been on the front line these past two years?"

The girl was very reserved. She crossed her arms over her chest and looked like a frightened deer. She replied, "Overall, it's fine. It's just that life is a little inconvenient."

Most of the ninjas on the front line are male, while most of the female ninjas are engaged in auxiliary work such as medical care and intelligence. It is rare to see people like Yamashiro Xing who are active on the front line, which inevitably leads to some estrangement and inconvenience.

"Yamashiro Chen has told me many times that he doesn't want you to become a ninja, but contrary to my wishes, you still did this job. It's all my fault. I have neglected your life as mother and daughter over the years. I'm sorry to Yamashiro Chen." Ye Shan felt a little guilty.

Yamashiro Xing shook her head, her pretty face looking very resolute under the light: "I was determined to become a ninja. I wanted to follow the path my brother had taken and see what kind of life he had lived over the years."

Ye Shan thought for a moment and then said, "So how do you feel?"

"No, being a ninja is not cool at all. There is no fun in fighting and killing all day long." The girl answered honestly.

"I've seen so much death and heard so much wailing that I'm beginning to hate this profession. Why can't humans live in peace?"

The girl who was once innocent and carefree was eventually shaped by the environment into the image of her brother, which made Ye Shan even more sad. He remembered that after countless fierce battles, Shan Chengchen also asked himself the same question. At that time, his answer was very simple - to live a better life, but this answer could not be told to the girl.

"The reasons are complicated. You will understand them when you grow up. The war is about to end. What are your plans?"

"I want to open a grocery store in the village. This is also one of my brother's wishes. Of course, this is something that will happen after I become a real jonin. My brother has talked to me several times about the difficulty of being promoted to jonin. He wanted to become a jonin and get the village's recognition, but he didn't succeed."

Ye Shan was very sad. He took out a cigarette from his bag and lit it habitually, but put it out when he saw the girl frowning. He picked up the teacup and took a sip of water and said, "Your brother has surpassed ordinary jonin, but he has never been promoted because of me. You don't have to be so serious. Just go and open a grocery store."

This is true. Yamashiro Tatsu's strength is not weak. Both his qualifications and ninjutsu have reached the level of a jonin. However, due to his inclination, he has never been promoted. In fact, if Ye Shan had not killed the so-called Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist Village, he would never have been promoted to a jonin.

The girl didn't say anything, but kept tapping the ground with her right foot, and soon made a small hole in the soil.

"Did you ever notice that Kakashi resented his father?"

"He has always been like this, don't you know?" the girl asked curiously.

"..."

Ye Shan really didn't know, otherwise he would have drawn Kakashi long ago: "I don't know, I hope you can enlighten him."

"Hehe," the girl said in a bad tone, "I am not qualified to counsel someone as arrogant as him, and I also think that you are a loser, at least a failed captain."

Silence, Ye Shan had nothing to say except silence, because he was really a failed captain. Team member Yamashiro Tatsuo died, Yamanaka Yuura lost the qualification to continue to be a ninja, no matter how you look at it, he is an incompetent captain.

The girl chuckled. "Brother once said that you are a guy who can't be teased. Now it seems to be true. I was just teasing you, but in my heart you have been very successful. At least you let brother live until the end of the Ninja War."

Ye Shan smiled bitterly, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether the other party was joking or telling the truth: "I am indeed a guy without a sense of humor. Yamashiro Tatsuya is right, and you are not wrong either. It is this world that is wrong."

"I left you alone to tell you that the next mission is very dangerous. You have the right to choose to quit."

The girl thought about it seriously and asked, "Are Kakashi and the others going?"

"Going."

"Then I'll go too!" the girl answered decisively. Then, fearing that Ye Shan would not approve, she added, "Kakashi and the other three are very nice and take good care of me. Without me, the team's strength will be greatly reduced in a short period of time. I can't escape from the battlefield."

Ye Shan nodded and said, "You have the right to choose, but I want to warn you in advance, you are not allowed to use that technique."

As for what the spell was, Ye Shan didn't say it directly. He believed that Shancheng Xing knew it in his heart. The spell of exchanging life for life was indeed against heaven, but the survivor would undoubtedly live in guilt for the rest of his life, and even those with weak mental strength would easily go astray, which was what Ye Shan didn't want to see. He hoped that Shancheng Chen's sister would live safely and healthily, instead of dying in obscurity.

"Yeah!" The girl responded, and then asked, "Can I go now? It's getting late, I should go to bed."

The short conversation was awkward, and Ye Shan did not try to persuade Shan Chengxing to leave the command room. In fact, he still had a lot to say, and he had prepared a draft before leaving, but for some reason, when he saw the other person's familiar face, all his words were hidden.

He walked out of the command room, looked at the stars in the sky quietly, and began to feel sentimental again.

Yes, Ye Shan is an absolute pretentious person. He is easily reminded of people by the sight of things. Perhaps this is the trouble of growing up.

As for that little bastard Kakashi, Yeshan planned to throw him to the Rain Country to develop agriculture after the war, so that he could see the sufferings of the world.

A ninja living in a greenhouse will never realize the greatness of Hatake Sakumo. Yeshan thinks that he has been too protective of Kakashi over the years and ignored the importance of suffering for growth.

A ninja must not only have superb strength, but also a sentimental heart, otherwise he is just a killing machine.
