For the sake of ramen diplomacy, Hatake Sakumo took Toneri directly to his house.
The Hatake clan is also a famous clan in Konoha Village. When Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara founded Konoha, they joined Konoha together with the Sarutobi clan, Akimichi clan, Nara clan, Yamanaka clan and other families.
One of Ye's families.
But what is different from these families is that the Hatake clan has withered away, and he is the only one left in Hatake Sakumo's generation. Fortunately, he is still quite capable, and after marrying an ordinary woman, he gave birth to Kakashi.
, the Hatake clan has no descendants.
However, in recognition of the Hatake clan's great contribution to Konoha, even if there are only three of them, the mansion is still very large, even larger than Orochimaru's house.
When the two entered the house, they saw a fairly ordinary-looking woman and a child with silver-gray hair, about two or three years old, playing in the courtyard.
Seeing the return of Hatake Sakumo, the woman immediately won.
"Father!"
The boy shouted crisply, without any of the waxy voice of a two or three-year-old child.
Is this Kakashi in his childhood?!
Toneri looked at the child being picked up by Hatake Sakumo, his eyes bursting with curiosity.
This is a living "50-50", a living...a living Kadian, a living Sixth Generation Eye.
Noticing Toneri's eyes, Kakashi shrank into Sakumo's arms, obviously feeling a little afraid of his eyes.
No matter how handsome or powerful he is in the future, he is still just a child now.
"Hahaha - this is what I told you, my son Hatake Kakashi!" Sakumo laughed, loving Kakashi very much.
"This child is extremely talented and will definitely achieve great things in the future." Shiren calmed down his slightly exaggerated eyes and spoke righteously.
"Oh? Toner, do you still know how to read faces?"
"I understand a little bit... I understand a little bit... Haha——"
He smiled to hide his embarrassment.
Hatake Sakumo finished with Kakashi for a while and then asked his wife to take Kakashi inside to rest.
"Okay, let me see how powerful the 'Xia Ji Ba Da' swordsmanship is that Orochimaru said."
Hearing this, Shiren's face turned slightly red.
There are not many things that can make him feel a little embarrassed. If he shows his short sword skills in front of Konoha White Fang, isn't this the same as showing off his sword in front of Guan Gong?
However, this is a reminder from a shadow-level expert who is best at swordsmanship, so you can’t miss it.
The courtyard was still quite empty, so Toneri drew out the short knife from his waist.
Teng——
Red flames shot up from the dagger, burning the entire dagger red.
Flying up and down.
I had just obtained it from Yun Ninja in the previous incident. In the past ten days, when I was training my body to figure out the weakened version of the Thunder Release Chakra mode, I specially created a shadow clone to study this Yun Ninja's sword skills.
Toneri is still young, so the short sword in his hand is almost the same as the long sword in the hands of an adult.
However, he combined his own body and Yun Ninja's sword skills to figure out a sword technique suitable for his body shape, which was a great improvement compared to his 'True Xia Ji Ba Da' sword skills some time ago.
From the outside alone, it looks pretty good.
But in the eyes of an expert like Hatake Sakumo, it was completely different. There were flaws everywhere. It looked good but was not practical at all.
"Don't pay too much attention to form, your hands must be quick, and your hand holding the knife must be steady!" I couldn't help but remind him.
Hearing Hatake Sakumo's words, Toneri knew that he was trying to remind himself, so he concentrated and changed his actions according to his words.
Slowly, based on Hatake Sakumo's words, Toneri felt that every movement of his sword swing became smoother. He once felt that there were some things that were wrong and there might be flaws. These discomforts were corrected after being reminded.
.
What they didn't notice was that the young Kakashi, who had been brought in, was currently lying on the window watching Toner and his father practicing sword skills, his little eyes flickering with deep curiosity.
The knife in his hand gradually became more flexible, no longer as rigid as it was at the beginning, but gradually began to feel alive.
This feeling is very magical, as if this dagger is no longer an ordinary dagger, but like an extension of your hand, giving you the feeling of being able to command like an arm.
Although this feeling was very weak, he felt it.
Hatake Sakumo on the side, from being casual at first to a hint of surprise, and finally to surprise.
He knows what Sheren's state is at this time. This is the trend of people and swords becoming one!
The speed of his command is getting faster and faster, and the movements of Shiren are also getting faster and faster.
If you compare his sword skills at this time with those at the beginning, you will find that it has completely changed, and there is no trace of Kumo Ninja sword skills in it.
It seems that all of this is a temporary sword skill created to fit his body and weapons. No matter which aspect you look at it, it has a very smooth feeling.
Finally, after performing it from beginning to end again, Toneri stopped and stood there with his eyes closed without moving.
With a faint smile on his face, Hatake Sakumo stood silently waiting for Toneri to completely digest this sword technique.
...
He didn't know how much time had passed, but when he slowly opened his eyes, the sky was already white with fish belly.
All expressions were restrained, and he bowed respectfully towards Hatake Sakumo. All the words of thanks were contained in this bow.
Hatake Sakumo walked in and patted him gently on the shoulder.
"You like swordsmanship, although I don't know why, but it's good, and you have a good talent. Remember this feeling today, slowly explore, and you will find the one that suits you best." Hatake Sakumo
Said sincerely.
Toneri is different from him. He was born into a family with a history of samurai like the Hatake clan, and he has to practice swordsmanship rigorously since he was a child. This is the foundation of their life.
But the older he grew, the more rigid he felt these sword skills were, and finally he abandoned them all to find the one that suited him best.
The all-encompassing thing is reduced to the simplest move in the end, the complex is reduced to simplicity to the extreme, and the final attack becomes drawing a sword, which can also be called the art of drawing a sword!
Although Toneri has been exposed to swordsmanship for a relatively young age, it may be because he has never been exposed to it, so he has a heartfelt love for swordsmanship. In addition, he has never rigidly learned any form of swordsmanship.
The skill of the sword actually turned him into a piece of rough jade, which he could carve on as he pleased.
"I originally passed on my sword skills to you to see how much you can learn, but now, I think you may have something more suitable for yourself. Don't stick to the achievements of your predecessors and show yours freely.
Talent, Konoha Little White Fang is not your goal and end point, you will have a longer road ahead."
Hatake Sakumo's words are full of praise for Toneri.
If he knew that the reason why Toneri likes swordsmanship so much is to look handsome, would he directly take out the 'White Fang' and punish him?
After hearing his words, Shiren burst into tears.
It's not that I'm moved.
He just wanted to say, Uncle Sakumo, I don’t want to follow my own path, I just want to be Konoha’s little White Fang, pass on your sword skills to me!
Hatake Sakumo stretched out, looking a little tired, "Okay, you'd better get ready quickly. I heard Tsunade say yesterday that you guys are going on a mission today, and I didn't sleep all night. Can you handle it?"
"
At this time, Shecai realized that he was immersed in the practice of sword skills and suddenly forgot the most important thing.
"I'll thank you more next time, uncle. I'll withdraw first." After saying that, he ran out immediately.
It’s your first mission, so be sure to bring enough stuff!
Looking at Toneri's leaving figure, and then looking at the window where Kakashi peeked last night, there was still a crack, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"Kakashi, you have your own way to go. I wonder if you will love swordsmanship as much as Toneri? Or do you have your own higher pursuit..."
