Chapter 371 Guide

The land of the Nara clan.

Located in the prosperous street section of Konoha, since Konoha was founded, it has been the promoter of Konoha's will of fire, and also the practitioner and inheritor of the will of fire.

No matter what era, they are all Konoha Hokage clan, and they are trusted ninjas. Every patriarch also serves as the Konoha Jonin squad leader.

Under the porch of the back house, a boy with a face very similar to Shikajiu came over.

As soon as he came over, he scratched his head and asked with a look of unmotivated expression:

"Dad, did you call me?"

"Yes, just idle and bored, play a game of chess with me."

The boy is Shikahisa's son, named Nara Shikamaru.

Aged eight years old, he is still a student of the ninja school.

His grades belonged to the kind that was neither high nor low. No matter how you looked at it, it didn't seem like the grades that the son of the patriarch of the Nara clan should get.

The teacher also told Lu Jiu more than once that it would be great if the child could be more motivated. He always felt that every exam was just perfunctory and dismissing the tasks assigned by the school.

Regarding this, Shikahisa just laughed it off, and didn't criticize Shikamaru anything.

After all, the practice at home has been very hard, and the ninja school is to teach some basic things, those things only need to be mastered before graduation, and he believes in the ability of his son Shikamaru.

Although it's not that I look down on ninja schools, but that kind of place, with that kind of teaching method, it is difficult to cultivate real talents.

Ninjas have a ninja training method, and ninja children should also focus on family ninjutsu, and they can polish their foundations in ninja schools. As long as the test scores are not at the bottom and bring about huge criticism, there is no problem.

Lu Jiu glanced at the chessboard set in front of Lu Jiu, sighed rather bored, and finally sat down honestly opposite Lu Jiu, raised his head and looked at Lu Jiu.

"Let me tell you first, I play chess very slowly."

"It's okay, you're on vacation anyway, and school won't start until February next year."

Lu Jiu laughed.

"Really... until four o'clock in the afternoon at most, Choji found a delicious barbecue restaurant and invited me to go there together. And that troublesome woman Ino."

Shikamaru said.

"Well, it's okay to hang out with friends. I won't cook your meal that night. I wish you a good time outside."

Lu Jiu nodded without any objection.

Choji and Ino are children of the same age from the Akimichi Clan and the Yamanaka Clan respectively, and are also classmates of their son Shikamaru.

The new generation of pig-deer-butterfly combination will be the pillars of the village who will carry the burden of the village in the future. Lu Jiu is also looking forward to the growth of the three of them.

"Speaking of which, Naruto and Sasuke, how did they meet in school? How does it feel to you?"

Shikahisa asked purposefully while she and Shikamaru had the next session.

Sure enough, he didn't ask me to play chess specifically, it's so troublesome. Shikamaru felt helpless, knowing that his father asked him to play chess, not to pass the time casually.

Shikamaru didn't hide anything about Shikahisa's question. He lowered his head and stared at the chessboard, and said softly, Naruto looks a little silly, but his endurance is amazing, his physical strength is also very good, and sometimes very clever ideas flash through his brain. Should he be called a fool or a genius? A subtle guy in between.

"It seems that you think highly of him."

Lu Jiu was surprised.

He knows how Naruto Uzumaki, the son of the fourth generation of Hokage, is evaluated in the village. In school, he also seems to have a shameful title of "crane tail".

Recalling the brilliant achievements of the Fourth Hokage when he was a child, Shikajiu once wondered if Uzumaki Naruto inherited his father's true blood? The gap between the two fathers and sons is indeed a bit big.

Even though his son Shikamaru's evaluation is not bad, compared with his father, he is still far behind.

However, the stamina and physical strength are amazing, and the mental state is very strong, which does not surprise Lu Jiu.

After all, the blood of the Uzumaki family still flows in the opponent's body. In terms of vitality, the blood of that family is almost an invincible cockroach, and it is the most suitable sealing container for the tailed beast.

Konohasan and Nine-Tails Jinchuriki all have the blood of the Uzumaki clan, which shows how powerful the blood of the Uzumaki clan is.

"After all, we usually play together. I was wondering if I should take him with me when I go to eat barbecue at night... However, because of Sasuke, Ino seems to hate Naruto."

Shikamaru complained.

Because one is the tail of the crane in the class, and the other is the head student in the class, they are naturally inappropriate. Naruto also challenged Sasuke many times, but Sasuke solved it cleanly every time. But Naruto's behavior was also disgusted by Sasuke's support fan group, and the Ino he mentioned was one of the members of Sasuke's support fan group.

A beautiful **** woman.

"Take him there together. Ino is just talking about it. I believe that Haiyi's tutor will not cause discord between her and her classmates."

That is the child of the fourth generation. Lu Jiu knew that Haiyi knew the importance of teaching Ino.

Shikamaru nodded, but didn't say whether he agreed or disagreed.

"As for Sasuke, it's still the same. Since that incident... it's like a lump of ice. It's hard for anyone to get close to him. I don't know what's going on in my heart all day long. He has an extraordinary attachment to power. If he doesn't guide it well, maybe there will be big problems."

"The judgment is very correct."

Although Shikamaru's judgment cannot be said to be all correct, Shikahisa still affirmed it.

"It's okay, because these two are so prominent in the class. Both are lonely people in the same situation, one is ostracized, one wants to be alienated...well, both are problem students."

Shikamaru said.

"Speaking of problem students, you, who sleep every day in class, are also one of the problem students."

Lu Jiu laughed.

Shikamaru coughed.

"That can't be helped. The cultivation at home is very hard. I must not have the energy to study at school the next day. Anyway, I have mastered all the knowledge before the fourth grade. There is no problem."

"It's not a good thing to be too proud. Compared with those real geniuses, you are still far behind. Moreover, those knowledge are theoretical knowledge from books in the final analysis, lacking the verification of practice, so don't become a person who talks on paper."

Lu Jiu's face became serious.

"I understand."

Shikamaru pouted.

"Forget it, I'll take you out for fun after the next year, it won't take long anyway."

"What about your job?"

"I will ask for leave from Hokage-sama, so I will just go out for a while."

"Going abroad?"

"It's fine at home. The current international situation is a bit severe for Konoha. I can't leave Konoha too far."

Lu Jiu replied.

"I heard that there is a war outside?"

Shikamaru thought for a while and asked.

Lu Jiu hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.

My son has shown a high IQ that is different from ordinary people since he was a child. Sometimes, it is difficult to treat him as a real child.

Although some aspects are a bit naive, but some aspects are also frighteningly mature.

Therefore, the way of educating sons is free education under the rules, guiding when necessary, and letting oneself absorb knowledge to grow when not necessary.

Neither restraint is too tight, nor can he be completely free.

"It's just that the ninja troops were dispatched from the Daming Prefecture. Konoha's ninja troops were only stationed at the national border to prevent the ninja troops from the kingdom of ghosts from breaking into the land of fire, and did not directly enter the battlefield."

Lu Jiu continued.

"War...what is it like?"

Shikamaru asked curiously.

I remember that four years ago, Konoha was still fighting with other ninja villages, and the opponent was Yunyin.

An armistice agreement was also signed that year, but when the armistice agreement was signed, there was a lot of trouble, which was related to the Hyuga clan.

Shikamaru didn't understand the specifics, but only vaguely remembered that many people pointed behind the Hyuga clan and said some rather nasty things.

"It's not a happy thing after all. Many people will die, whether they are our own people or enemies."

Lu Jiu said in a deep voice.

"Then why fight? Since both sides will die."

Shikamaru was puzzled.

"There are many reasons, but it is difficult to judge the two sides in the war, the righteous and the evil. The key is to determine the winner and the loser. The mission of the family is to do everything possible to help Hokage and defeat all enemies that are hostile to the Nation of Fire. This is the mission of the Nara clan. Sooner or later, this mission will also be carried out on you."

Lu Jiu replied.

"So complicated."

Shikamaru clicked his lips.

War is too far away from him.

Moreover, for a village as big as Konoha, even if it fails, it will not be so easy.

At least from his father's face, it didn't show that the enemy was so powerful that it made the family desperate.

That means, this could be a close battle.

"Compared to this, I have always had a question."

After Shikamaru fell, he raised his head.

"What?"

"Pay attention to Sasuke, I can understand, after all, he is a survivor of the Uchiha clan, and the attention is very high. Why should Naruto pay attention?"

This is what Shikamaru can't understand.

"He is a descendant of the Maelstrom family."

"The Uzumaki Clan? I have seen it in textbooks. It seems that the Uzumaki Clan's country of Uzumaki has been destroyed for a long time."

Shikamaru thought of something.

"That's it, the Uzumaki clan was an ally of Konoha in the past."

"In this case, why do some adults in the village hate Naruto so much?"

Lu Jiu frowned.

Some grown-ups' words, even a child like him, can't stand it.

Besides, Naruto is just a little mischievous at ordinary times, and he hasn't done any evil things.

The family he belongs to is still an ally with Konoha, so it should be treated with courtesy.

"The Uzumaki Clan used to be Konoha's allies, but the reborn Uzumaki Clan has now defected to the Kingdom of Ghosts and is hostile to the Nation of Fire and Konoha."

Lu Jiu said without raising his eyelids.

Shikamaru's hand holding the chess pieces paused in mid-air, slightly astonished.

Konoha's ally, defected to the enemy country?

This kind of thing sounds a bit dramatic.

"Of course, the villagers are hostile to Naruto, not because of the status of the Uzumaki clan, because Naruto's parents are ninjas loyal to Konoha. He has nothing to do with the Uzumaki clan in the ghost country."

"What is that for?"

"When you grow up, I will tell you. This is not something you as a child can know."

Lu Jiu refused without hesitation.

It involves the secrets of the two generations of Hokage, and it is also related to the roots. This is obviously not something that can be said casually.

Even if I want to tell my son Shikamaru, it is not now.

"By the way, when you are in school, don't sleep for too long. It is best to listen to history class. You also need to let go of ninjutsu practice at home. I will find some historical documents for you to read and understand in depth."

Lu Jiu suddenly mentioned this sentence.

A question mark appeared on Shikamaru's forehead.

Shikahisa did not explain that Konoha's reform is a very difficult move. If he fails, then Shikamaru will inherit this will and continue to assist that generation of Hokage to complete the reform.

For this reason, it is very necessary to know the history, understand the progress of the times, and discover the laws that can make Konoha and the Kingdom of Fire more prosperous and stronger.

If there is any way to defeat the ghost kingdom, this may be the only way.

Shikamaru had a strange face, but at Shikajiu's request, he still nodded seriously.

Today's father is really too strange.

Have been practicing with Kakashi for a while, but Sasuke still feels a little baffled by Kakashi's teaching method.

Because the way Kakashi taught himself to practice is not at all what a ninja should be.

It is fundamentally different from the cultivation method taught to him by his family in the past.

Moreover, Sasuke didn't feel his own strength and got a real improvement, which caused his mood to become impetuous.

Sitting on the snow in the forest filled with freezing air, Sasuke sat cross-legged here, morning and afternoon, a total of more than six hours, according to the method Kakashi gave him, to let the mind empty, to feel the vicissitudes of change in nature, and get the power to make Sharingan truly transform.

Until dusk, Sasuke opened his eyes and saw that his body was covered with snow, but he still didn't feel the power that Kakashi said. He subconsciously looked towards Kakashi not far away, who was reading a book with his back against the trees, his eyes showed suspicion.

"What's the matter? You look like you're going to eat me. Can't you hold on anymore, young master of the Uchiha family?"

Kakashi didn't take his eyes off the book, but he already noticed Sasuke's unfriendly eyes on him.

Anger and dissatisfaction seemed to be brewing in his stomach.

Sasuke stood up from the snow and came to Kakashi's side step by step.

"Hey, so many days have passed, and I have cultivated in your way, but I don't feel where the power you said is at all? Can that kind of thing really strengthen the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan? Or, you lied to me for all this?"

Sasuke finally asked this sentence.

Kakashi didn't turn his head, but just nodded to himself.

"So that's the case, it seems that Uchiha Itachi's talent is even better."

The bastard! A 'well' character popped out on Sasuke's forehead, representing the anger in his heart.

What he hates the most is hearing this man's name from other people.

"Look at your current appearance. You look ferocious. Even if Uchiha Itachi appears in front of you, can you really maintain your sanity and fight him? Uchiha Itachi is not a simple opponent. If you want to defeat him, your mentality is the first condition. If you can't even do this, you will never be able to get revenge."

Kakashi turned a page calmly, continued to read the book with relish, while commenting on Sasuke, pointing out the other's flaws.

"But your practice is useless at all."

Sasuke hesitated for a moment.

"That's your own problem. You've been sitting there all day thinking about **** Itachi, right?"

Kakashi asked back.

Sasuke fell silent, obviously being hit by Kakashi.

"What's the use of understanding nature? I want to learn powerful ninjutsu."

Sasuke frowned.

"What would happen without Chakra?"

Kakashi asked this question.

"Well?"

Sasuke was taken aback.

"Without Chakra, ninjas would not be able to activate ninjutsu and genjutsu, nor would they be able to use powerful destructive physical arts. What I taught you is the basis for becoming stronger. Do you want to run all the way to the finish line without even getting started? This is a power that is more difficult for humans to grasp than Chakra."

To be precise, Sasuke's entry is more difficult than ordinary people.

His obsession with revenge was too deep.

So deep that I can no longer think rationally.

This makes it difficult for him to calm down and feel the natural energy of nature.

Of course, the Kingdom of Ghosts has a very mature technology to help people complete the auxiliary medicine to perceive natural energy, but that method is suitable for ordinary people.

As far as Sasuke is concerned, it may be counterproductive.

If there is no way to eliminate the hostility in the other party's heart, then the practice of natural energy will probably stop at the initial stage for a lifetime.

Cannot touch the realm of fairy art.

The higher the penetration of natural energy, the easier it is to adjust your own mentality.

It is not to abandon all human emotions, but to mediate the inner emotional world of human beings, so as to integrate with the natural world.

If the mind is not calm, the obsession is too deep, or even enters a state of compulsion, it will not be able to touch the door of natural energy.

Ghost Kingdom has already studied the natural energy practice, Sasuke's problem is easy to solve, but it is also the most difficult to solve.

"Is this also a compulsory way for ninjas?"

Sasuke was puzzled.

"It doesn't count. There are ninjas who have mastered this kind of power, but not all ninjas can do this. The ninjas who can perceive natural energy are all powerful ninjas, and they are famous in the ninja world. However, this kind of thing is only between the two of us. Don't mention it to anyone, even Hokage-sama."

Kakashi replied.

"What, you are the one who lied to me, right? There is no mention of such a thing in the ninja school textbook."

Sasuke deliberately stimulated Kakashi.

Kakashi was unmoved, his eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and he smiled very happily, seeing the wonderful plot of "Kind to Heaven".

But in Sasuke's eyes, this kind of smile is a bit wretched.

Is this guy really a Jonin?

Sasuke became a little uncertain.

It seems that the book in his hand is not a serious book.

Kakashi put away the "Kind to Heaven" in his hand, put it in the ninja bag, and his eyes fell on Sasuke.

"Okay, in order to prevent you from saying that I deceive you, I will let you experience the unique secret technique I developed myself. If you can grasp the basics I taught you, then I will teach you this move."

"Unique secret technique? Can it defeat Itachi?"

Sasuke's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to ask.

"I don't know, I don't know where the upper limit of Itachi's strength is, and I haven't really fought against him in the past. But he is an awakened person of Kaleidoscope Sharingan, and his strength cannot be described by common sense. The outcome should be 50-50."

Kakashi paused to answer.

"Kaleidoscopic Sharingan..."

Hearing this unique vocabulary, a haze flashed in Sasuke's eyes.

If he remembers correctly, Itachi said that if he wanted to open the Kaleidoscope Sharingan, he had to kill his closest friend.

Itachi kills his best friend Shisui who is like an elder brother, opens these eyes, and gains the forbidden power.

"Kakashi, what exactly is Kaleidoscope Sharingan?"

Sasuke raised his head and asked.

"As an outsider, it's not easy for me to explain, and I don't know much information about this kind of eyes. I only know that it is the power of legend. When you awaken this kind of eyes one day, you will know what it is."

"I won't awaken those eyes."

Killing a friend or something is simply crooked. Sasuke was instinctively disgusted.

"Okay, take a good look at it. This is the technique I will show you next, and it is also the move I will teach you in the future. With this move, it is not difficult to easily defeat Jonin."

Kakashi raised his arm slightly, and while chatting with Sasuke, the chakra he mobilized gathered in the palm of his hand.

Under Sasuke's surprised gaze, an extremely intense blue lightning condensed in Kakashi's palm.

And there was a piercing cry like a bird's song, which made Sasuke's eardrum a little painful and felt piercing.

"It's amazing, Chakra has materialized to this extent..."

Chakra materialization...is not as simple as external release.

Sasuke knew that many Chunin were unable to do this, and those who could do this were the amazingly powerful Junin in the village.

Although he is a pervert, his strength is not something to brag about! Sasuke no longer thinks that Kakashi can only talk big like before.

"This is the level thunder escape ninjutsu developed by me alone when I was about ten years old Chidori. It is a ninjutsu that assaults the enemy at high speed. However, because the noise is too loud, although it is powerful, it is difficult to hit the enemy without the ability to move at high speed and have strong dynamic vision. You will open Sharingan in the future, and the dynamic vision will be greatly enhanced. It will not be difficult for you to master this technique as long as you train in physical skills."

Kakashi explained.

"Ten?"

Sasuke caught an amazing message from it.

Ten-year-old created level difficult ninjutsu alone?

This made Sasuke a little dumbfounded.

"Any questions?"

"I just think your talent is amazing. During the ninja school period, you were able to develop such powerful ninjutsu."

Sasuke said.

"No, at that time, I had already graduated from ninja school."

"Um?"

"Although you may not believe it, I graduated from the ninja school at the age of five, and I passed the Chunin exam at the age of six and became the Chunin in the village."

Kakashi narrates his mediocre ninja resume.

Sasuke looked at Kakashi's calm look, is this the hateful face of a genius?

Sasuke felt depressed for no reason.

Compared with Kakashi who graduated at the age of five, became a Chunin at the age of six, and independently developed level ninjutsu at the age of ten, he, the "genius" of the ninja school, seems a bit embarrassed.

Such an achievement, even Itachi, whom he regards as an enemy, failed to achieve.

Follow this man, maybe you can really kill Itachi and revive Uchiha's prestige! Sasuke's heart was filled with eagerness.

Seems to have seen the positivity shown on Sasuke's face, Kakashi nodded in satisfaction, it seems that his stimulation still has some effect.

"Next, this."

As he said that, the thunder light in Kakashi's hand became more solid, and it produced a very sharp breath, which made Sasuke feel a pain in the face, as if he had been punctured by something, and subconsciously took a few steps back.

Not only that, the birdsong disappeared, and the thunder light gathered in Kakashi's hands silently.

"This is"

"The appearance is similar to Chidori, but these are two different ninjutsu. Chidori is suitable for frontal dash and harass the enemy's attention. This is Raikiri, which is silent and suitable for assassination. In order to let you feel it intuitively, I let you feel its stabbing breath. In fact, when assassinating the enemy, there is no breath."

As he said that, the tingling sensation produced by Lei Guang disappeared from the air. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Sasuke would even feel that Kakashi had nothing in his hands.

Using this move to quietly approach the enemy's rear, Sasuke couldn't imagine what the consequences would be.

"The two kinds of ninjutsu have different emphases. According to the changes in the battle situation, which ninjutsu to use can only be judged by one's own experience. In the end, it is a derived technique based on this basis."

Kakashi waved his palm violently.

Sasuke only saw a flash of lightning passing before his eyes, and the trajectory could not be caught.

When he turned his head and looked, a row of trees were neatly cut from the middle and collapsed on the ground.

The incision is smooth, like a flat mirror surface.

Moreover, when the thunder light swept out, it also did not make any sound, silently.

"Don't be so surprised. Although these ninjutsu were developed by me, they are not what I am best at. What I am best at is improving the Baiya sword technique passed down by my father."

Kakashi dissipated the thunder in his hand and placed it on the handle of the White Fang dagger behind him.

Sasuke also took advantage of the situation, but didn't see Kakashi's ability in swordsmanship.

"I won't show the saber technique. For you, you have to learn the Thunder Dunninjutsu that I showed before, and then you are qualified to follow me to learn Baiya saber technique. That is the foundation of Baiya saber technique. Before that, understanding nature and letting go of distracting thoughts in your heart are the foundation of the foundation. I have already prescribed the conditions, but these cannot be separated from your own training."

"I see."

Although Sasuke tried his best to calm his heart, the enthusiasm in his eyes still couldn't be concealed.

Sure enough... Are you still yearning for power? Itachi had too much influence on him. Kakashi said silently in his heart.

However, there is still a lot of time, and he has plenty of time to train Sasuke.
