Walking on the way home in despair, the expression on Kakashi's face showed a sense of unwillingness in the confusion. He looked at his father beside him from time to time, his lips licked several times, but he didn't know what to ask.
Noticing his son's demeanor, Hatake Sakumo didn't want to talk to Kakashi at first, but when he was about to return to the Hatake tribe, after careful consideration, he suddenly stopped and squatted down so that he could see Kakashi.
Cassie is even.
"Kakashi, are you confused?"
His father's actions and the expression on his father's face made Kakashi's heart skip a beat. The words he wanted to blurt out were suppressed. After a few seconds of slowing down, he replied with a tangled look in his eyes.
:
"I know that ninja fighting not only depends on strength, but also on wisdom and experience against the enemy. I know all this, but I... I really can't understand why the examiner made it so difficult for me in a simple graduation exam."
"And Hokage-sama, he must have been watching from the sidelines, right? Is he indifferent to what the examiner did? I admit that I was careless, but he wouldn't scold me like this, right?"
"Obviously... I won."
The further he went on, the lower Kakashi's tone became, and the sense of loss on his face became stronger. What happened today undoubtedly had a huge impact on his self-confidence. He didn't understand that he was clearly putting a knife on the examiner's neck.
Go on, why doesn't this count as a win? Why... is that Chuunin examiner so shameless? So hateful?
After patiently listening to Kakashi's statement, Hatake Sakumo showed no fluctuations in his face, but sighed slightly in his heart. Then he reached out and patted his son's shoulder with his palm, and asked with a serious face:
"Kakashi, do you know where you lost?"
After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Kakashi raised his head and looked at Hatake Sakumo again. A trace of uncertainty flashed in his eyes, and he guessed: "Is it because I wasn't prepared enough? Because I didn't study before the battle.
Good exam rules? Or...I lost because of my carelessness and underestimation of the enemy?"
"None of them..." Hatake Sakumo shook his head slowly: "Kakashi, you lost because of the pride in your heart."
"pride?"
"Yes, pride covers your eyes, makes your mind no longer calm, and makes your thinking no longer rational. When you put the ninja sword on the examiner's neck, pride makes you
I thought I had won."
"But battles between ninjas are often a fight between life and death. They are a game of intrigue and deception in which they try their best to win. If the opponent's resistance is not effectively eliminated, then it is not considered a defeat."
After saying that, seeing Kakashi's face looking thoughtful, Hatake Sakumo stood up, patted the boy on the shoulder again, and walked forward, leaving only the last words full of expectations:
"Lord Hokage has high expectations for you, Kakashi. I hope you can figure out your problem as soon as possible, and then change the naive character you left behind in the ninja school, and take the chunin exam as a real ninja.
"
When Hatake Sakumo gradually walked away, Kakashi seemed to understand where he really lost. But just when he was about to say something, his father's words suddenly lingered in his ears, making him suddenly stunned:
"Chunin exam?"
…
"Although Kakashi is still relatively naive in character, I believe you have seen his strength. Being able to defeat a Chuunin head-on at the age of six is very rare even in the history of our Konoha, so Minato..."
"Seize up the time and teach him everything you think he should learn, so that he can come out on top in the chuunin exams. Give me a hard lesson as a Kumogakure genin and get first place."
Namikaze Minato silently looked at Lei Luo's solemn face, and then nodded silently, secretly cursing in his heart: Kumogakure and Konoha are obviously close allies, why did Lei Luo, the Hokage, target him like this?
Kumogakure genin, trying to embarrass the Third Raikage?
Is the issue of face really that important?
Then Kakashi can defeat Chuunin before he graduates. If he goes through another wave of assault training, especially if Kakashi masters the Flying Thunder God...
In this Chunin Exam, is there any need to compete?
As if he could read Namikaze Minato's thoughts at the moment from his expression, Lei Luo coughed lightly and briefly explained: "I just found out yesterday that there seem to be some very troublesome guys coming over from Kumogakure, who are they called Daru?"
Hey, Mabuyi is here."
"There are not many genin of our generation who are successful, so..."
"You know."
At this moment, Namikaze Minato really understood: Lei Luo just didn't want Konoha to lose too ugly, so he wanted Kakashi to graduate early, and then massacred everyone in the Chunin Exam, fighting fiercely for Konoha.
A wave of face.
'Sensei's character is still as strong as ever... It doesn't matter that you defeated the Raikage, but now you want our next generation of Konoha to defeat the next generation of Kumogakure. It's just bad luck for Kumogakure to form an alliance with us.'
Deep down in his heart, he couldn't stop complaining about Rairo, the extremely honorable Hokage, but on the surface he remained calm. Namikaze Minato admitted that after spending so long with Lei Luo, he had completely seen through his own character.
The nature of a teacher.
He loves great achievements and is eager to win. This is generally the case.
"Hokage-sama."
At this time, a call suddenly came from not far away. Lei Luo and Namikaze Minato turned their heads and saw a ninja wearing an animal mask standing there, apparently wanting to say something.
"What's up?"
"Miss Nonoyu, please go back to the Hokage's office. She has something to say to you in person."
"Okay, I get it." Lei Luo waved his hand, waved away the ninja who didn't know which department he was from, and then smiled slightly teasingly at Namikaze Minato:
"In the whole of Konoha, Nonou may be the only one who has the guts to yell at me, the Hokage. The key is that I still have to listen."
Hearing this, Minato Namikaze thought of the relationship between Lei Luo and Nonou, and couldn't help but curiously asked: "Teacher, when do you plan to marry Miss Nonou? You are almost twenty-six this year, right?"
Taking a sideways look at Namikaze Minato, he saw a strong searching look on his face. Lei Luo didn't want to pay attention to his gossiping disciple, but considering that Nonoyu had been following him for so long, he really should give him a warning.
Explained.
If it continues like this, it will not be a good thing for himself, for Nonou, or for some ninjas who have been eyeing this area, or for the overall stability of the village.
So, Lei Luo thought for a while secretly, and replied with some reluctance: "Let's wait until the end of the first five-year plan. By then, the development of all walks of life will be initially on the right track, and I will
