Chapter 382 Fishing by the River

He widened his eyes and quickly reminded:

"Don't panic, don't panic. Fish are very smart nowadays and will deceive you. Wait until it has tested you before you reel in the rod."

Haneda didn't find it troublesome and just put away his rod. For him, fishing was just a way to relieve embarrassment.

It doesn’t matter whether there are any fish caught or not.

Kakashi was furious when he saw Haneda put away his club so early.

"If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer the consequences. Haneda, you too... huh?"

Kakashi widened his eyes again. Haneda really had taken the bait. What was going on?

Why were the fish he met before so smart?

Kakashi once used the Sharingan to observe those fish. When the fish saw the hook, they would constantly and carefully test it with their mouths.

There are also attempts to remove the fish feed from the hook and get it for free!

How could Haneda catch such a smart fish so easily?

Ah? ? ?

"It's not that difficult, Kakashi. You're just too careful. Fishing shouldn't be that difficult."

Haneda picked up the fish and weighed it by feel. It was about three or four pounds, not too fat.

"Unlucky, it's not a big fish. This one is not enough for me to eat alone."

"..." Kakashi glanced at his bucket. There was a small fish only about ten centimeters long, a river shrimp that he didn't even know how to hook.

I am speechless.

Kakashi seriously suspected that Haneda was showing off, but he couldn't find any evidence. Finally, he pursed his lips and said:

"Novice protection period, novice protection period, even a child can catch this stupid fish, that's what happened when I first went fishing."

Shuo Mao taught beside him:

"Kakashi, it's said that fishing is all about attitude. The more you care about something, the harder it is to get it."

“It is those who ask for nothing who get more.”

Kakashi was too embarrassed to refute his father, so he said with a dark face:

"As long as you care about it, you will be happy when you get it. If you don't care about something, what's the point of asking for it?"

"I just don't believe it. With my experience of fishing since I was four years old, my superb skills, and my expensive professional fishing equipment, how can I lose to a novice?"

As Kakashi spoke, a fish jumped out of the river, splashing water onto Kakashi's face.

Kakashi subconsciously looked over and saw that another stupid fish had taken the bait, and the fisherman was Haneda again!

"..." Kakashi was speechless.

But Sakumo wasn't going to let Kakashi go: "Look, isn't this right?"

"Father, that's the novice protection period! I won't compete with a novice!" Kakashi said with a dark face.

"Then compete with me?" Sakumo pointed at his full bucket, his mouth emerged from the water and looked at Kakashi.

Kakashi immediately shook his head and said, "I don't compare myself with my father. I am a very down-to-earth person. I only compare myself with myself."

Haneda carried two fish and said with a smile, "I'm going to pick up some dry wood. We'll have grilled fish tonight. How about that, Kakashi?"

Kakashi said, "Two fish are not enough, wait till I catch another one."

Haneda glanced at the fish in Kakashi's bucket and shook his head silently:

"Forget it, Kakashi. Didn't Uncle Sakumo catch a lot of fish? Enough for the three of us to eat together."

Kakashi said stubbornly: "I only eat what I own. You know, I have been self-reliant since I was a child."

"Okay, okay, whatever."

Haneda was planning to turn around, but suddenly he saw the river bank where Kakashi was sitting. In the clear river, big fish opened their mouths and blew bubbles at Kakashi, as if mocking Kakashi's incompetence.

Haneda kindly pointed to the shore and reminded:

"If all else fails, use your short knife to stab a few of them. There are plenty of them on the shore."

Kakashi looked in the direction of Haneda's finger, and saw several big fish staring at him intently and blowing bubbles at him.

At this moment, Kakashi's face turned terribly dark.

Sakumo teased, "Yeah, with your skills in throwing shuriken or kunai, you can hit the target with every throw."

"I think the fish in this river are pretty stupid. They don't even know how to run away when people are here."

Kakashi's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"A true man will not eat what he comes for!"

Sakumo said nothing more, just smiled.

This fishing is quite interesting. I haven’t seen you for many years. Why does it become so difficult for Kakashi to fish?

In the past, he went fishing in the evening and came back with two fish after about half an hour.

Now, why is it so difficult?

Even though my fishing experience is getting richer and my fishing equipment is getting better, the fish are not biting.

As it got darker, the fish swam back to the middle of the river. Kakashi's bucket still only had a small fish about ten centimeters long and one, no, three river shrimps.

I have to say that the river shrimps are quite considerate and insist on using clamps to clamp the fish hook and bring it ashore.

By the time Haneda had used the Reincarnation Technique to revive Sakumo and had built a fire not far from the river bank, Kakashi was still fishing intently.

The fisherman's persistence is fully demonstrated at this moment!

However, when Haneda went to visit Kakashi, Kakashi seemed angry.

He took his fishing rod and slammed the big fish on the shore that was laughing at him.

After knocking one out, Kakashi pretended to put the fishhook into the fish's mouth.

Then, he put the fishing rod on his shoulder, and caught a big fish behind him, looking like he had made a great catch.

But when he turned around, he met Haneda's eyes.

Kakashi smiled awkwardly and said:

"Haneda, why are you here?"

"Taking a walk, I didn't see anything just now, um... do you believe it?" Haneda responded with the same awkward smile.

"Look at the big fish I caught. I definitely caught it with a fishing rod." Kakashi said nonchalantly.

The corners of Haneda's mouth twitched. He originally thought that there was something wrong with what he said, but when he looked at the fishing rod in Kakashi's hand, the corners of his mouth twitched again.

There is nothing wrong with what he said, it was indeed caught with a fishing rod...

"Ahem... Kakashi, let's go back first and don't keep Uncle Sakumo waiting for too long."

"You know, Uncle Sakumo hasn't had a meal in ten years."

"And your Kakashi-style grilled fish."

Haneda changed the subject.

Anyway, as long as he doesn't feel embarrassed, then it's others who are embarrassed. That's right, that's it.

But at this moment, a pair of eyes popped out from behind. It was Sakumo, and he seemed to have been standing there for a long time.

"Kakashi, didn't you say you don't accept charity?"

"..." Kakashi's face turned red with embarrassment when he heard this.

Haneda defended Kakashi, "Uncle Sakumo, that was something Kakashi was going to give me!"

Kakashi realized something and said confidently: "That's right, father, I, Hatake Kakashi, never accept food given out of pity!"

“……”This time it was Sakumo who remained silent.

He never expected that after just ten years, his own kid had become so shameless!

Fortunately, I learned from Haneda.

Kakashi added: "Besides, I knocked the fish unconscious myself, so it can't be considered a favor at all!"

"..." Sakumo was silent again.
