Konoha: I have a gravity training room

Xia Mu advised, "Don't think about it. We don't understand the situation in that era, so we shouldn't speculate. You'd better not spread it. We can just talk about it privately among our family. It won't be good if others find out."

Tenten hummed, then thought of Kakashi: "So, Kakashi-senpai, how is he doing?"

Xia Mu sighed: "Kakashi-senpai was still young at the time, so he was naturally shocked and even confused for a while. He thought that the mission was above everything else, so he often put the mission first when doing missions, and rarely cared about the lives and injuries of his companions. As a result, he had a bad reputation and no one wanted to team up with him. It was only because of Mr. Kai's constant pestering that Kakashi-senpai did not turn evil. Later, it seems that something happened again, and Kakashi-senpai was not so extreme. However, he seemed to have accidentally broken White Fang-senpai's sword, and he never used the Hatake sword technique again..."

Tenten's eyes welled up when she heard this: "Kakashi-senpai, this is so pitiful, wuwuwu!"

Uh, no need to worry, Kakashi has already come out...right.

Indeed, Kakashi is no longer sad about his father's death, because Uchiha Obito and Nohara Rin made him understand the value of partners and his father's choice.

However, it would be a waste if he did not continue to inherit the Hatake swordsmanship!

That's why Xia Mu planned to continue from 1.4!

"So how is Kakashi-senpai now?" Tiantian asked.

"Well, he seems quite decadent. He's in his thirties or forties and still hasn't found a partner. He just stares at the emperor's uncle all day long with those dead eyes. He looks lifeless... Well, Tiantian, we shouldn't meddle in other people's business. Kakashi-senpai isn't that fragile. It's not our turn to save him. Don't feel sorry for him in front of him, and it's best not to mention the story I told you..."

"Xia Mu! We must find a way to inherit the Hatake sword technique!"

"Uh, oh! That's exactly what I wanted!"

Xia Mu breathed a sigh of relief. He could tell stories, but he didn't want Tiantian to meddle in his business. Kakashi, an elite jonin, couldn't figure it out, so why should anyone else have sympathy and guidance?

Just wait until you meet Obito again, so don't worry about it.

Chapter 62 Kakashi (asking for flowers)

The next morning, Xia Mu transformed into an adult and bought a hardcover edition of Intimate Paradise from Shueisha.

Although Kakashi's family should have a collection, this is the best gift Xia Mu can think of. I think Kakashi will not refuse it...

Tiantian picked up a book and flipped through it. Her face suddenly turned red and she quickly closed the book.

She looked at Xia Mu shyly and said hesitantly, "Xia, Xia Mu, if you have any needs, you can tell me. You don't need to read this kind of book..."

Xia Mu knew that the girl had misunderstood, and quickly explained: "It's not that I want to read it. Didn't I say that Kakashi-senpai likes this kind of thing? This is a meeting gift. Besides, this book was written by Jiraiya-sama, and it's a bestseller in the ninja world."

"Huh? Was it written by Jiraiya-sama, one of the Sannin?!"

Tenten's eyes widened. "One of the Three Great Ninjas actually wrote something like this. It's totally disillusioning!"

Xia Mu took the opportunity to say: "Jiraiya is lustful, Tsunade is a gambler, and Orochimaru is a traitor, not to mention. In short, don't have too high illusions about the three ninjas, they are far inferior to Senior Hatake Sakumo. And Tenten, you should be more careful in the future. Jiraiya has a habit of peeping into the women's bathhouse, so you'd better not go to the bathhouse in the future."

This, this, this....

He is in a daze every day and obviously cannot accept 21.

How could the Sannin she admired be like this? Even Tsunade-sama was a gambler?

Seeing that the time was almost up, Xia Mu and Tian Tian brought the hardcover version of Intimate Paradise to the agreed training ground. Kai was already waiting there doing one-handed push-ups.

"Hey! Xia Mutiantian, you two are here."

Kai immediately stood up and began to lecture Xia Mu, "I've heard Tiantian say it all. Xia Mu, you've been too eager for success and too aggressive in your training, causing you to faint from the pain. This is very bad. Let me tell you what the most reasonable way to train is...blah blah blah... Do you understand? Youthful and passionate training won't deceive you. You must pay attention in the future!"

Xia Mu could only nod repeatedly. It was the first time he knew that Kai was so talkative.

Tiantian took the time to look around, but didn't see anyone. For a moment, he thought he had been stood up.

"Gai-sensei, where's Kakashi-senpai?"

"Oh, Kakashi must be helping an old lady cross the street. It's normal for him to be late." Kai answered as a matter of course.

"What the hell? Helping an old lady cross the street? Although it's very caring, but as a ninja, punctuality is very important. Is Kakashi-senpai really an elite ninja like this?" Tiantian couldn't help but complain.

"Well, Kakashi is just like this normally. If he's on a real mission, he won't be late."

After hearing Kai's explanation, Tiantian didn't quite believe it.

Tiantian always feels that the ninjas in the village give her a disillusioned impression. Not only the three ninjas, but now even the legendary Konoha engineer is like this. Yesterday, when I heard my boyfriend's story, I felt sorry for him, but I didn't expect him to be like this. Maybe he is really decadent, otherwise why would he be like this?

Xia Mu thought about it, formed a seal and used the telescope technique, condensing lenses in front of his eyes and in the air to form a telescope.

The scene within a kilometer radius suddenly appeared in the lens in front of him, and he soon found a man wearing a mask with one eye covered by a forehead protector. It was Kakashi Hatake.

"Is this Kakashi-senpai? He looks cool, but his eyes are really dead." Tiantian expressed his first impression.

"Hahaha! Kakashi is very strong and he is my eternal rival. So far the score between him and me is 40:39. I am better than him!" Kai said with a smile, his hands on his hips.

"Really?" Tiantian didn't believe it.

"Of course it's true! I'm really better than Kakashi!"

"Hey, hey, hey, Kai, don't tell the kids nonsense. The score should be 38:39 so far. How can the first two meals be considered a competition?"

A lazy voice came, and Kakashi appeared with his hands in his pockets, and he was quite fast.

Kakashi's dead fish eyes swept over Tenten, and finally landed on Xia Mu: "This little guy must be the Xia Mu that Kai mentioned. This water escape telescope is quite good."

Tenten opened her mouth in surprise, she hadn't noticed when Kakashi came.

He was clearly still in the water mirror before, walking slowly within a kilometer range, but he was right in front of me in the blink of an eye. Can we only say that he is worthy of being the legendary Konoha technician Kakashi?

Kai smiled and gave a thumbs-up: "Yo! My eternal rival! You're finally here!"

"Kakashi-senpai."

Xia Mu greeted him, "I didn't expect to receive such praise from Kakashi-senpai on our first meeting. It's truly an honor. I heard that Kakashi-senpai is known as the Copy Ninja. Do you think my telescope technique would be a good fit? Would you like to try copying one with your Sharingan?"

Kakashi stared at Natsuki with his dead fish eyes: "You know a lot, but your telescope trick is indeed useful. It is the best reconnaissance technique in a team without the support of the Byakugan. But are you underestimating me? I don't need the Sharingan, but I have already learned it."

Xia Mu silently canceled the ninjutsu. He certainly did not underestimate Kakashi.

He knew even more than Kakashi.

However, his goal this time was the Hatake swordsmanship, and there was no need to say much about other things, so he quickly took out the hardcover copy of Intimate Paradise and handed it over.

"I heard that Kakashi-senpai likes to read this kind of book, so I bought the hardcover edition despite the pressure from my girlfriend. I'm sure Kakashi-senpai already has a collection at home, but please accept this gift anyway."

"Oh? Did you even ask about my preferences?"

Kakashi walked forward and took a look, but did not refuse. He accepted the whole set of books. It would be hard to refuse such a thoughtful gesture from the young man, right?

"You already have a girlfriend, Kai's student. She's a very cute girl, you have good taste."

"Of course I have a good eye. If Kakashi-senpai wants to date someone, I can help to introduce them. I also know a lot of beautiful female ninjas in the village. For example, Kurenai-senpai who lives next door to Teacher Kai is a great beauty..."

"Ahem! Stop it! Do you want Asuma to beat me to death?"

Kakashi didn't want to argue with this kid anymore.

If we continue talking, I'm afraid that if I really help to connect them, Asuma will come and kill us directly!

Every day she looked at her boyfriend and then at Kakashi, and always felt that the two were engaged in a verbal battle, but she could hardly understand what they were saying. The Riddler was really annoying.

Kakashi got straight to the point: "Gai told me that you wanted to learn the swordsmanship of the Hatake family."

Xia Mu nodded seriously: "Yes. I'm sorry for asking about Sakumo-senpai without your permission..."

Kakashi waved his hand: "It's no problem. It's more like I'm glad that there are still children who know about my father and even want to learn his swordsmanship. He should be happy too."

"So, Kakashi-senpai, are you willing to teach me?"

"Teaching you swordsmanship is not a problem, but I need to see your ability first!"

Chapter 63 Kakashi's Test

Here we go again! It’s magnanimity again!

In Naruto, people often talk about capacity, which simply means a person's strength, qualifications and will.

Especially willpower, what kind of ninja way a person follows is very important. Kakashi has experienced so much, so naturally he also attaches great importance to this.

Natsuki didn't back down: "Kakashi-senpai, please test me however you want!"

"Nice eyes, then let me see your talent in swordsmanship first!"

Kakashi was quite satisfied and silently took out two short swords, threw one to Xia Mu and held one himself.

Xia Mu took the short sword, performed some sword flowers, and made a seal of opposition. Then he stared at Kakashi with bated breath, looking for the opportunity to attack.

Kakashi also made the opposing seal, then stood there waiting with a knife in hand.

Kai and Tiantian watched from a distance without saying a word. The scene was quiet for a while, but the atmosphere gradually became depressing.

Xia Mu did not act rashly. He stared at Kakashi and moved his feet slowly, very slowly closing the distance. However, Kakashi seemed to be fearless and remained standing still.

"here!"

Xia Mu suddenly shouted and disappeared in an instant.

Kakashi was surprised at Natsuki's speed and successfully blocked Natsuki's attack by raising his blade to the side.

Xia Mu raised his sword with his backhand, pushed away Kakashi's short sword and stabbed him in the chest, but Kakashi immediately blocked the tip of Xia Mu's sword with his horizontal sword. Xia Mu could only put away the sword and stab Kakashi in the shoulder again, but was still easily blocked by the other party.

The two of them exchanged several moves back and forth in three seconds.

Natsuki's attack was extremely fast, but Kakashi's blocking was even easier. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Kakashi's swordsmanship was far superior to Natsuki's.

But Kakashi was testing Natsuki, so naturally he had to let him off, otherwise it would have been over long ago.

Xia Mu also understood this and didn't think too much about it. Instead, he used the sword skills that he had honed bit by bit over the years. Every horizontal stroke, every slash, and every stab were the result of his sweat. There was nothing fancy about it, only single-minded focus.

Kakashi saw this and nodded unconsciously.

Many things can actually be seen from the swordsmanship.

Xia Mu's swordsmanship is not very advanced, and is even a bit rigid, but one can see Xia Mu's seriousness and dedication. With no one to guide him, he has pieced together bit by bit the knowledge of swordsmanship and condensed it into a unique move of his own. His comprehension may be a little poor, or perhaps it is due to a lack of guidance, but his dedication to swordsmanship is clearly revealed.

Such a person who is serious about swordsmanship would be a good candidate to inherit the Hatake swordsmanship.

However, if this alone is not enough, it seems that the understanding is still a little lacking, and Hatake's swordsmanship is not an ordinary swordsmanship, but the crystallization of the swordsmanship of ancient warriors combined with the use of chakra!

Xia Mu's behavior is really not enough, unless...

At this moment, a ray of lightning suddenly condensed in Xia Mu's hand. The lightning wrapped around the blade and suddenly burst out at an extremely fast speed, breaking through Kakashi's defense line and heading straight for Kakashi's neck.

"Oh wow, after all, I'm not too stupid~!"

The surprise in Kakashi's eyes flashed away, and he let the thunder sword hit him.

The next second, it turned into a piece of wood with a bang.

Xia Mu hurriedly looked for Kakashi's location, but the next second a short knife was placed under his neck, making him dare not act rashly.

"You lose." Kakashi put away his short sword.

"I lost." Xia Mu nodded.

"You don't seem to be unwilling to give up. You should know that if you lose, you may not be able to learn the Hatake sword technique."

"My swordsmanship isn't as good as Kakashi-senpai's, so it's normal for me to lose. Besides, if I win, is there any need for me to learn Hatake swordsmanship? As for whether Kakashi-senpai will teach me or not, that's naturally up to you. Even if I can't learn Hatake swordsmanship, I will find a way to learn other things to make myself stronger."

"...I know everything you said to Kai. You said you became stronger to protect your girlfriend and your friends."

"That's right!"

Natsuki was not afraid of Kakashi's test on this because he really valued Tenten, Shino and the others. It was sincere and he was not kidding at all.

Kakashi was really staring at Xia Mu's every move, and seeing that his eyes didn't evade at all, he naturally felt a little more approved of him.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly asked: "I heard from Kai that you want to learn the Eight Gates Ninjutsu and Hatake Swordsmanship, and then become the strongest in Konoha. So, do you want to be Hokage?"

Natsuki was stunned, not understanding how Kakashi came to this conclusion.

He shook his head decisively: "No, I don't want to be Hokage."

Kakashi was surprised: "You want to be the strongest, but your goal isn't to become Hokage?"

Xia Mu was very sure: "Yes, being Hokage is very tiring. I see that Sandaime-sama is working overtime every day, with endless things to do, and he doesn't even have time to spend with his grandchildren. If I become Hokage, won't I have time to spend with Tiantian? I won't be able to be a good father when I have children in the future. I don't want that. Besides, even if you become the strongest, you don't have to be Hokage. In my opinion, no matter what position you are in, no matter what your identity is, everyone will work hard to protect important people and to protect the village. Isn't that the most important thing?"

"Oh, you're right, and you said it very well."

Kakashi narrowed his eyes and smiled, a rare occurrence. "So what's your dream?"

Xia Mu couldn't explain it for a moment: "I haven't really thought about it. I just wanted to live a good life, including a good life for my parents. Later, I met Shino, Shikamaru, Choji and the others, and even pursued Tenten. I wanted to protect them well, so I wanted to become stronger, it's that simple."

It is simple, but the simpler the answer, the more sincere it is.

Kakashi nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, you passed."

"Passed? That means Senior Kakashi is willing to teach me the Hatake swordsmanship?" Xia Mu was overjoyed.
