Chapter 41 The first meeting with Hatake Sakumo, Kakashi challenging Qing Shui
Konoha Training Ground No.1.
The sharp sword light flashed in the field. Kakashi was holding a short blade and practicing with his father Hatake Sakumo.
Hatake Sakumo nodded slightly, gently used the white teeth in his hand to push away Kakashi's blade, and said with a smile:
"Your mind is a little confused and you need to focus..."
Kakashi was startled.
As soon as he finished speaking, White Fang's blade was placed on his neck, sending a bone-chilling chill.
"Kakashi, you don't need to care about the name of genius. Although you are my son, Sakumo Hatake, you are already good enough." Sakumo Hatake put away his white teeth lightly and rubbed Kakashi's hand. head and said softly:
"In the ninja world, there are always some amazingly talented people who cannot simply be described as geniuses. For example, the first generation, Uchiha Madara, and the same is true for the second generation."
Kakashi raised his head stubbornly and said in a deep voice: "Father, do you think that Uchiha Qingsui has a talent comparable to that of the second generation? The village has said that his water escape seems to be very similar to that of the second generation."
After Mattei became the guardian of the Qingshui family, Metkai, who used to pester Kakashi to fight him, disappeared.
And Obito, who had awakened the Sharingan, no longer went to look for him, but was immersed in Uchiha Setsuna's small stove.
The aloof genius, after suddenly losing the harassment of two crane tails, felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
After Qing Shui showed some strength, the boring but hot topic of "number one genius" began to be discussed again in the village.
In the dead of night, Kakashi was also thinking, who is stronger, him or Qing Shui?
Sometimes he would also take Qing Shui's age into consideration, but Kakashi always thought that he was the strongest among his peers, but he still believed that as the son of Hatake Sakumo, he was still the strongest among his peers.
Therefore, Kakashi sent an invitation to Qing Shui for a sparring match, and even asked his father to watch the battle today.
Kakashi knew that his father had a pair of eyes far beyond ordinary people and could see the inner potential of a ninja...
Hatake Sakumo stared at his son and shook his head slowly.
"Kakashi, it doesn't matter whether Uchiha Qingshui's talent is stronger than yours or not, but you must learn to recognize your own heart, not be disturbed by external objects, and focus on your own practice."
"Practice of ninjutsu and swordsmanship require a state of concentration. When you are burdened by reputation and other people's words, your sword will be blunted and your heart will not be quiet. If this is the case, there will be problems in the future."
Hatake Sakumo looked at Kakashi's confused expression and laughed:
"These are the principles passed down from our Hatake family ancestors when they were samurai. Father, I am not completely able to do it..."
"Let's work together, Kakashi!"
And Qing Shui, who had just arrived at the No. 1 training ground, holding Muramasa in his hand, happened to hear these words, and his expression was a little subtle.
Didn't Hatake Sakumo make it very clear when he was educating his son?
How wonderful to say that you should not be distracted by external objects and focus on yourself...
Why can't I think about it when it's my turn?
However, it's human nature...how can you know it hurts if it doesn't happen to you?
"Kakashi-kun, Sakumo-san, good morning."
Qing Shui slowly walked up to Hatake and his son, first nodded to Kakashi and said hello, and then greeted Hatake Sakumo generously, with a curious look in his eyes.
Hatake Sakumo, this is a man with a hint of mystery.
He has such a great reputation, but Qing Shui doesn't know his fighting style. After all, he lived in the praise of others in the original time and space, but he never took any action...
But with just one face-to-face meeting, Qing Shui could be sure that Hatake Sakumo was definitely very strong.
His whole body is like a sharp blade with a restrained edge. It looks ordinary, but it's just that he hasn't drawn it out of its sheath.
"It's him. Has this little guy grown to where he is now?"
Senju Tobirama looked at Hatake Sakumo's appearance and laughed from the bottom of his heart:
"When I saw him in the ninja school, I had a hunch that this kid has potential and talent..."
"Now he is a great ninja. Very good. He can be regarded as a civilian leader."
As if aware of Qing Shui's questioning mood, Qian Shu Feijian explained to himself:
"The Hatake clan, during the Warring States Period, was a clan based on the way of the samurai in the ninja world. However, they were subsequently retaliated by their enemies. After the establishment of Konoha, only Sakumo was left as an orphan."
"It's said to be a ninja clan, but it's actually just a name."
Qing Shui nodded clearly. As expected of Senju Tobirama, the founder of ANBU, he was very familiar with the ancient information of the ninja world, but what he said was:
"Tobirama, who asked you? My assessment is that since no teacher from the Hokage series was arranged for you back then, your assertion has little value. Hatake Sakumo is just a barbaric growth based purely on talent..."
"Haha, I don't have any credit for the geniuses who came out when I was in power? It's childish!"
Qing Shui shrugged, asking for credit, right?
"Qing Shui-kun, it is meaningless for ninjas like us to compete with most of our peers, and it is not convenient to fight against those older and more famous ninjas."
Kakashi and Qing Shui nodded. When their eyes met Muramasa, they paused for a moment before continuing: "So, I want to confirm the results of our training with you. Please forgive me for disturbing you."
"In this competition, if you can, please go all out. My father will be there for us throughout the whole process to prevent accidents from happening."
Qing Shui nodded slightly, Kakashi thought very carefully and what he said made sense.
At his age, if anyone of his age could master C-level ninjutsu, he would be considered a genius. However, Kakashi mastered C-level earth escape before entering school, and was promoted to jounin at the age of twelve.
But as he said, those veteran special jounin and jounin would not be willing to fight against a young genius.
After all, there is nothing to talk about if you win, but if you lose, it will become a tool for spreading the opponent's reputation. Who would be willing to do this?
But his father's strength was too high, and it lost the meaning of actual combat.
But Kakashi didn't understand that for Qing Shui, fighting him didn't mean much.
Kakashi at this age has not even developed a Raikiri, how can he fight Qing Shui?
Qing Shui laughed in his heart and looked at Kakashi's slightly unconvinced face: "Since Kakashi-kun has thought so thoroughly, I will agree."
In fact, the person Qing Shui wanted to fight more was Hatake Sakumo who stood behind Kakashi with a kind face.
This person is a standard Kage-level ninja, and can better allow Qing Shui to confirm his own strength and know his rank.
After all, Uchiha Madara was paying attention to Qing Shui.
If you don't understand your own strength, you may get into serious trouble one day.
Even Qing Shui couldn't tell what kind of work this old man would do.
"Defeat Kakashi first, and then if you have a chance, let's try it with Hatake Sakumo..."
