Hokage's Attention

Snap!

"No, the accuracy is too poor. If I can't hit the enemy, its power is useless."

Looking at the large tree in the distance that had been snapped in half by a coin, Gu Qi shook his head in disappointment once again.

Although he had hit the large tree, Gu Qi's target was actually the third tree to its left.

For the Railgun, increasing its power and rate of fire was quite simple; Gu Qi only needed to increase the amount of Lightning Release Chakra and the speed of current transmission.

But if he couldn't hit the enemy, no matter how fast the rate of fire or how great the power, it would all be in vain.

As for accuracy, Gu Qi's idea was to practice throwing ninja tools to improve his awareness.

However, no matter which it was, Gu Qi would need time to practice.

Regarding the single-handed coil Railgun, Gu Qi understood the principle of not biting off more than he could chew, so he planned to start cultivating this jutsu after he had mastered the Railgun.

In the following time, the trees in this forest began to suffer.

Either Gu Qi would blast them beyond recognition with the Railgun, or he would use them as targets for his ninja tool throwing practice.

By midnight, this forest had been mostly ravaged by Gu Qi.

Stretching, Gu Qi swaggered and called for Saye and the others, heading in the direction of home.

However, it wasn't long after Gu Qi left that a figure wearing an animal mask emerged from the shadows.

After examining the coin on the tree trunk, the figure quickly disappeared into the forest.

The figure moved rapidly through the silent streets, arriving at a hidden entrance on the outskirts of Konoha not long after.

But just as the figure was about to enter, another figure suddenly appeared and blocked their path.

"Next time, if anyone follows Kakashi Gu Qi, no matter who it is, they will die." Kakashi stared at the Anbu ninja in front of him with killing intent.

"I will report to the leader," the other party replied in a toneless voice.

"You better," Kakashi said, then used the Body Flicker Technique to leave.

Only after Kakashi left did the Anbu member enter the base.

"I understand, recall the people monitoring Kakashi Gu Qi!" Shimura Danzō said.

The Anbu ninja wandered around the cave for a long time before finally arriving at a room.

And in this room was Shimura Danzō, one of Konoha's high-ranking officials.

"Yes, Leader."

Looking at the file on Kakashi Gu Qi in his hand, Shimura Danzō muttered to himself, "Will he be the next Hatake Sakumo?"

Hatake Sakumo, the father of Kakashi Hatake, was a genius ninja wielding a short sword that emitted white chakra, known as "Konoha's White Fang." He was powerful.

His name was renowned throughout the nations, and even the "Legendary Sannin" showed him respect.

Yet, such a formidable existence, feared by all, ultimately committed suicide.

Shimura Danzō understood the truth behind Hatake Sakumo's death, of course.

After all, he was one of the masterminds behind it back then.

"What a shame. With Kakashi Hatake around, it's impossible to get close to Kakashi Gu Qi," Shimura Danzō couldn't help but sigh.

Shimura Danzō could deceive Kakashi once, but he couldn't deceive him a second time.

Kakashi was now wary of him, making it impossible for Shimura Danzō to approach Kakashi Gu Qi again.

Even if Danzō could arrange for Kakashi Hatake to be sent on a mission by the village, he knew that based on his understanding of the Third Hokage, he would undoubtedly find a way to prevent him from approaching Kakashi Hatake.

Therefore, despite his regret, Danzō could only watch as a genius like Kakashi Gu Qi slipped away.

As for eliminating Kakashi Gu Qi, Danzō had never considered it.

After all, Kakashi Gu Qi was a loyal Konoha shinobi. Danzō was naturally happy to see Konoha grow stronger.

His conflict with Hiruzen Sarutobi was, in essence, a disagreement in ideology. Danzō believed that everything he did was for the good of Konoha.

Meanwhile, Gu Qi, unaware that he had narrowly escaped a crisis, returned home, settled the three little ones, and began cultivating his Chakra.

After finishing his daily Chakra cultivation, Gu Qi summoned the system.

"System, give me 4 hours of math tutoring." Suddenly remembering something, Gu Qi specifically instructed, "And don't give me any discounts!"

[Ding! 40,000 Ryo deducted... Classroom initializing...]

As the system's voice sounded, Gu Qi fainted spectacularly.

As the sun rose again, Gu Qi, having completed his four hours of tutoring, got out of bed feeling refreshed.

Although he had studied mathematics for four hours in the system, Gu Qi was surprised to find that he didn't feel any mental fatigue at all.

"I didn't expect learning could replace sleep. It seems I won't have to worry about not having enough time anymore," Gu Qi thought, feeling quite pleased.

After quickly washing up and preparing breakfast and water, Gu Qi woke up the three ninja dogs who were sleeping soundly.

"Wake up! After breakfast, we need to train," Gu Qi said with a smile to the three bewildered ninja dogs.

Hearing about training, the three Ninja Dogs perked up and completely sobered up. At this moment, they once again remembered the fear of being dominated by training half a year ago.

Unable to help but let out a mournful cry, the three Ninja Dogs reluctantly started their breakfast.

Although the three Ninja Dogs had sworn yesterday that they wouldn't hold Gu Qi back anymore, they were still children after all, and they had long forgotten yesterday's promise after waking up.

"Life lies in movement, come on, let's go and spill our youth and sweat!" Gu Qi shouted with burning passion.

"Woof~" Saye and the others stared at Gu Qi with the look one gives an idiot.

"As expected, letting Gu Qi learn Taijutsu from Might Guy was a mistake."

Outside the Ninja Tool Shop, Kakashi stared at Gu Qi's departing figure with dead fish eyes and muttered to himself.

As the villagers of Konoha were busy with their daily lives, they were surprised to discover that the figure who had disappeared for half a year had reappeared.

"What a hardworking little guy!"

On the top floor of the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled as he watched Gu Qi jumping around in the street.

Turning away from the window, Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up a piece of intelligence from his desk and muttered, "To be able to create Ninjutsu independently at the young age of four, the Hatake Clan truly has astonishing talent!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought of Kakashi Hatake, who had also independently created the astonishing Ninjutsu Chidori in his youth.

But he hadn't expected that the talent of Hatake Gu Qi was even more astonishing than Kakashi's, being able to create a Lightning-style Ninjutsu at the age of four.

"Is it really okay to just leave that child to his own devices?" Mitokado Homura appeared at the door of the Hokage's office and said.

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head, "Since Kakashi believes that sending Gu Qi to the Ninja Academy is the best choice, then we should respect his opinion."

"What Hiruzen said is right. The village is not threatened by war right now. Although that child has excellent talent, we haven't reached the point where we need to let a child charge into battle," Utatane Koharu also appeared.

Mitokado Homura frowned, "But there are still two years before Gu Qi enrolls. Do we need someone to guide him during this period?"

"No need. With Kakashi here, I don't need to do anything."

"Understood."

"Here are the steel ingots you need. Do you need me to send someone to help you take them back?"

Just as the Hokage and the elders of Konoha were discussing Gu Qi, this guy had just bought a large pile of pre-made steel ingots from Konoha's largest Ninja Tool Shop, Mandiandian.

"Then thank you. Please help me deliver these steel ingots to the [Ninja Tool Shop That Sells Nothing] two streets away," Gu Qi said with a smile.

Hearing Gu Qi's words, the shop owner's face immediately darkened. He forced a smile and said, "I didn't expect you to be in the ninja tool business as well, sir. However, why do you need to buy steel ingots?"

"What? Do I need to explain why I'm buying something from you?" Gu Qi glanced at the owner.

"No, no." The owner waved his hands and finally decided to drop the matter.

Although the other party was also running a ninja tool shop, as the largest ninja tool shop in Konoha, he wasn't afraid of the other party undermining his business.

"Then hurry up and send them over!" Gu Qi put on the expression of "the customer is God."

"Yes, yes, yes, please wait a moment, sir." After all, it was business, so the owner could only be polite.

"Alright, I have the materials and the idea. Now it's time to get to work."

When the steel ingots Gu Qi bought arrived at his home, Gu Qi rolled up his sleeves, ready for a big undertaking.
