If You Haven't Suffered, Don't Preach Kindness!

Uchiha Jin's brows were tightly furrowed.

Others might not know the inside story, but he knew very well that it was hatred fueling Kakashi!

This guy was naturally withdrawn and never told others about his affairs. He must have learned the truth about Hatake Sakumo's suicide and was therefore frantically training himself.

A moment later.

The group of three, after buying gifts of condolence, rushed to Kakashi's house.

Spacious, desolate, dilapidated, and cold.

Uchiha Jin let out a soft sigh.

This was his overall assessment of the yard, but it was understandable.

After all, this was the home of the Hokage's Sleeve, Hatake Sakumo, and given his status, he deserved such a grand entrance.

However, it was a pity.

Precisely because of Hatake Sakumo's death, only Kakashi remained here. Although Hatake Sakumo's former confidants and comrades still cared about his only son, they dared not visit him directly to offer comfort.

The reason? Those who understood, understood!

Regardless of Hatake Sakumo's own intentions, to all the discerning eyes in the village, Hatake Sakumo was a loser in the power struggle. If others visited him without regard, it would easily arouse the suspicion of Sarutobi Hiruzen and other Konohagakure higher-ups, or even lead to repercussions!

Therefore.

Hatake Sakumo's subordinates and confidants could help Kakashi in certain matters, and it wouldn't matter if they broke the rules for it, but a public visit was absolutely out of the question.

In fact.

The later experiences of Uzumaki Naruto were likely very similar to the current situation.

They dared not visit the only son of Minato Namikaze to offer comfort, but if Uzumaki Naruto truly encountered trouble, Minato Namikaze's subordinates would secretly assist him in various ways.

Kakashi was the same!

This was also the true reason why this mansion appeared so desolate, yet when Kakashi previously went to Kikyo Mountain Camp to seek help from Zetian Cheng Yi, Zetian Cheng Yi helped him without a second word.

"Kakashi, are you alright?"

"You must be strong, you are my lifelong rival!"

"Are you okay? Make sure to get enough rest!"

"..."

As Uchiha Jin and his group walked in, many of their schoolmates were already in the house.

Might Guy, Kurenai Yuhi, Shiranui Genma, Gekko Hayate, and others had all come, and even Sarutobi Asuma, the Hokage's son, had personally arrived.

Uchiha Jin put down the gifts and, without comforting Kakashi, went to Nara Shikaichi's side.

The two exchanged a glance and said nothing.

Uchiha Jin had to maintain the arrogance of the Uchiha clan; it was already a great gesture for him to visit in person. He certainly couldn't go up and comfort Kakashi directly, as others would find it strange.

Nara Shikaichi was in a similar situation.

However, he didn't know the people present, as he was a couple of years older than them and they were not peers.

If he hadn't become companions with Kakashi and Uchiha Jin, he wouldn't have met these people.

Two hours later.

Most of the people present had already left, as they had their own matters to attend to. Even Nohara Rin and Obito left, as Nohara Rin had to go to the hospital for an internship and Obito was busy trying to win Nohara Rin's affection.

Finally.

In the large living room, only Kakashi, Shikaichi, and Jin remained.

They were all members of the same team and had opened up to each other, so the atmosphere quickly became harmonious.

"Kakashi, you're too impatient!"

"Whether it's revenge or training, it's not something that can be accomplished in a short time."

Nara Shikaichi offered a couple of words of advice.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Jin also spoke directly, "You are too young right now. Overtraining will definitely affect your development."

Kakashi remained silent.

He understood what they were talking about, but he was truly anxious.

Unlike the Kakashi in the original story, he now knew who the enemy was, but because of his own weakness, he could only watch helplessly.

This feeling was too painful!

He could only resort to training to forget his pain.

"I know!"

"I also know why Jin said before that he would tell me the truth either when I became a Jonin or when I turned 18."

"Jin, he's right!"

"Knowing the truth too early was indeed no good for me."

"But, there's no helping it."

"What can I do when I just happened to learn the truth by chance?"

"I can't ignore it, I can only train desperately!"

Because they were all allies, Kakashi didn't hide his emotions; his eyes were filled with pain and killing intent at this moment.

And, regarding this.

Nara Shikaichi and Uchiha Jin didn't know how to persuade him.

"Kakashi, you..." Nara Shikaichi started to speak.

But before he could finish, he was interrupted by Uchiha Jin.

"Forget it, Shikaichi."

"Don't advise kindness without experiencing another's suffering."

"We are not the ones involved, so we are destined to not truly understand Kakashi."

Nara Shikaichi fell silent.

He kept thinking about Uchiha Jin's words and finally had to admit that the Uchiha before him was truly different from other traditional Uchihas; even his words were full of Zen.

Hearing this, Kakashi's eyes were also filled with gratitude.

"Thank you!"

Kakashi said.

After a long period of contemplation, Uchiha Jin still spoke, "Although I understand your choice, Kakashi, I still hope you realize a principle: you must think clearly about the consequences before doing anything."

"If you truly damage your foundation due to crazy training, will you regret being unable to become stronger in the future?"

"If you won't regret it, then go ahead!"

Kakashi fell silent.

Honestly, he couldn't take the persuasion of others to heart.

But Uchiha Jin's persuasion truly resonated with him.

That's right!

If he damaged his foundation due to training, would his future self not regret it?

And, regarding this.

Seeing Kakashi lost in thought, Uchiha Jin thought for a moment and spoke again.

"Kakashi, let me give you some advice!"

"If you really want to get stronger quickly and forget your pain this way, then there's no need to force yourself to master Nintaijutsu."

"After your fixed training session each day, you can practice your hand seal speed at home. After all, you've been on the battlefield; even a one-second faster hand seal speed can be the difference between life and death."

"You can even try simplifying hand seals, or think about Chakra nature transformation. You can also learn some Fuinjutsu if you have time."

"You are a genius, I believe you will achieve something!"
