Chapter 24

Dragging his tired body with a stinky face.

Naruto first went home to take a shower, then steamed and braised two fish that someone had thrown when he was being chased just now. After the rice was cooked, he slowly sat at the table and ate.

This time the mission in the Land of Waves was quite successful.

Except for Sasuke and Kakashi being injured, there were no accidents.

His own strength has also grown.

At the same time, he also gained a partner who can be entrusted with his life.

I don’t know if Bai’s actions in the past two days have been smooth?

Knock, knock...

Just when Naruto was thinking about the gains of this mission, there was a knock on the door.

"Hey~ Teacher Kakashi? You can knock on the door?"

Naruto opened the door and asked in surprise when he saw the person coming.

"Teacher, is there something to ask me? By the way, has the teacher had dinner? I just cooked a meal."

For the first time, someone other than the Sandaime came to see him specifically, and Naruto invited Kakashi happily.

"Then I'm not welcome."

Kakashi rolled his eyes and walked into Naruto's small apartment.

The one-bedroom apartment was a bit shabby. Except for some places where there was dust, it looked tidy on the surface. A glance at Naruto, who was wearing a white T-shirt and black trousers, was simple in style.

Well, except for the orange suit that looked particularly "sleazy"!

"I didn't expect that your cooking was so delicious."

Kakashi was really rude when he said you're welcome. He pulled down his mask, took a bowl of rice and started eating.

He didn't even bother to say the polite "I'm starting".

"I didn't expect Kakashi-sensei to be such a handsome guy."

Naruto looked at Kakashi's face in surprise. He was a little more handsome than Sasuke, especially the scar on his eye, which formed a strong contrast with his gloomy temperament.

"After all, when you wear a mask, only one eye is exposed, and with your dead fish temperament, it's really hard for people to think that you are a handsome guy."

"You still talk so annoyingly."

Kakashi rolled his eyes again. Weren't we discussing cooking? Why did he suddenly attack me?

"This is for you."

Kakashi casually took out a small scroll from his arms while eating and threw it to Naruto.

"The Sandaime promised to give you an S-level wind escape ninjutsu, but it will take a few days for him to modify one."

"You haven't practiced physical skills recently. It should be that you have encountered a bottleneck and it is difficult to improve. I will give you the swordsmanship I promised to give you before."

"Grandpa Hokage only knows how to deal with me perfunctorily! Is this Hatake style swordsmanship? But! Why do you have to give it to me after I hand over my beheading sword!"

Naruto's heart warmed when he saw this, and his face was full of grief and exaggeration.

Naruto couldn't wait to open the scroll, imagining that he could be as heroic as a samurai.

"This is my family's inherited swordsmanship, which is far from the swordsmanship I promised you before."

Kakashi looked like you really don't know what's good.

"Huh? Family inherited swordsmanship? Teacher Kakashi, I didn't realize that you are also proficient in swordsmanship!"

Naruto looked at Kakashi with suspicion.

"There are really your annotations in it. Did you write them randomly for the sake of face?"

"My swordsmanship is very average, but that is compared with the samurai of the upper ninja level. Among ninjas, my swordsmanship is still first-class."

Kakashi said calmly while eating fish.

"Ha! What a boast!"

How can this guy who loves to show off know everything?

Naruto pouted in dissatisfaction, but after seeing that the person with the most annotations on the scroll was not Kakashi, he wanted to strike a blow against this guy who likes to show off.

"The most annotations here are Hatake Sakumo, who is he?"

"...My father."

Kakashi paused, then answered calmly.

"So he is the teacher's father, so he must be a powerful ninja!"

Naruto roughly flipped through the annotations of Hatake Sakumo in the scroll, and summarized it with a sentence from an otaku: All martial arts in the world are indestructible, only speed is indestructible.

"As long as the speed is fast enough, you only need to face one enemy forever, which is similar to my understanding of steel fist!"

"It's a pity that I don't have the attribute of lightning chakra, otherwise I would definitely find it a treasure."

Naruto sighed, thinking in his heart, should I divide some attribute points to add this Hatake style swordsmanship? It would be great if wind style could stimulate muscles and increase speed like lightning chakra.

Naruto quickly flipped through it, and sure enough, there was an additional word Hatake style swordsmanship (not yet started) on the panel.

Tried to add a little bit to it, but it didn't work. I put all the remaining attribute points in, but it still didn't work.

Naruto immediately knew this gameI thought that if I wanted to get to the master level, it would be so expensive that I would despair.

Although I only had 3 attribute points left, hehe.

But it still felt a bit uneconomical!

Moreover, many of the special moves require lightning chakra to use, which means that he has to divide attribute points to add lightning chakra, which is another wave of consumption.

Forget it, let the shadow clone try to practice sword skills.

Naruto quickly made a decision in his heart.

"I found that your understanding of those great principles is much stronger than your ninjutsu talent."

Kakashi said sullenly.

"If he knew that you could inherit his swordsmanship, he would be very pleased."

"Oh? Why?"

Naruto was a little curious. Could it be because the move 'Thousand Years of Killing' in the revolving axis was very suitable for him?

Speaking of which, Kakashi's father was completely different from the kind of swordsman in his mind, as he could come up with a move like 'Thousand Years of Killing'!

"Because he had a similar experience to you, but he committed suicide in the end."

Kakashi paused, and calmly told what he had been avoiding, as if he had let it go.

"Well, I can understand."

Naruto nodded and said nothing more. He could understand the feeling of being targeted by the whole world. This time, the mission in the Land of Waves made him realize that many people had the same experience as him, and even worse ones were everywhere.

"But, Kakashi-sensei!"

Naruto looked at the swordsmanship scroll in his hand, and then looked at the 'salted fish' Kakashi, and suddenly realized something, and immediately slapped the table and pointed at Kakashi and shouted seriously.

"Huh?"

He found that I almost finished eating two fish?

Kakashi stared at Naruto with a puzzled look, and the speed of picking up the dishes became a few points faster. Today, I must make you, a stinky boy, lose face.

"Although I don't know how much damage Grandpa Sakumo has caused to your life, he must be a gentle person!"

"Please believe me, no one can understand Grandpa Sakumo's feelings better than me. He did this just to protect you, so that you... don't have to endure the same pain as him."

"So, Kakashi-sensei! Don't deliberately forget or avoid Grandpa Sakumo, whether it's ninjutsu or swordsmanship, because he is protecting you with his life!"

"I hope you can understand why he did this. Even if Grandpa Sakumo may not ask for your forgiveness, Teacher Kakashi is someone who recognizes me, so I must speak my mind!"

"..."

Kakashi was stunned when he heard this, and bits and pieces of his childhood emerged in his mind.

He opened his mouth, but found something choking his throat. It seemed that as long as he opened his mouth, tears, such a cowardly thing, would burst.

I just came here to deliver swordsmanship and eat, why do you say this to me! ?

So, he can only use eating to cover up his fragility, right?

Kakashi, you are still as incompetent as ever!

"Fish, delicious, then, I'll go back first."

After a long silence, Kakashi felt that he had regained the ability to speak. He finished his words in a dry voice and left quickly.

"I almost lost my dignity in front of this stinky kid!"

On the roof, Kakashi looked at the waning moon in the sky and wiped his eyes imperceptibly.

"Damn Kakashi teacher! He ate all my dishes!"

"I'm so angry!"

Naruto looked at the two plates in front of him with only fish bones left, and screamed in anger.

He made this while enduring hunger!!!

"I tried my best to enlighten him!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Hearing the screams from the house below, Kakashi felt a little better. He jumped up a few times, went to the flower shop to buy flowers, and headed towards the cemetery.

"Come to think of it, I haven't visited you for a few years, right, father?"
