Kakashi His vision went dark, his body went limp, and he almost fainted.
He knelt on one knee, breathing heavily, his eyes filled with frustration.
"Father... are you cheating?" Kakashi couldn't help complaining, using the words he learned from Senju Chen, "We are not using the same version of Tailed Beast cells, are we?"
Hatake Sakumo heard a rare smile on his lips.
He walked to Kakashi and helped him up.
"Kakashi, remember." Sakumo's expression became extremely solemn, "Strength is never the only factor that determines victory or defeat. Experience, mood, grasp of timing, and... insight into the enemy's psychology, these are the keys to determine whether a ninja is a 'strong' or a 'master'."
He patted Kakashi on the shoulder with a deep look in his eyes.
"Now, you are just a 'strong man' with great power. There are still some details missing from being a real 'master'."
Kakashi looked at his father blankly.
Only then did he realize that his legendary father's fighting philosophy had reached such a "refined" level.
"Then... what should I do?" Kakashi humbly asked for advice.
"It's very simple."
Sakumo's answer almost made Kakashi stagger.
"Forget about your fancy Ninjutsu."
"Forgot?" Kakashi's eyes widened.
"Yes, forget it." Sakumo's tone was unquestionable, "Don't worry about the power of those Ninjutsus. From today on, there is only one training for you. Use your current strength, only use Taijutsus and the most basic sword skills, and spar with me."
"What you have to do now is to use this short knife to leave a wound on my body within three months without using any Ninjutsu."
As he said that, he threw the short knife in his hand to Kakashi.
Kakashi caught it subconsciously.
The dagger was cold to the touch, but it seemed to have a burning warmth.
"Okay!"
The following days were an even more painful "purgatory" for Kakashi than the original fusion of Tailed Beast cells.
In addition to studying and training required by the base, he spent every day being beaten by his father in various ways.
Got knocked away with a punch.
Being kicked over.
Being knocked down by one point.
The speed he was proud of was as slow as a snail in front of his father. The defense he thought was impeccable was like paper in front of his father.
Even Sharingan, which can be turned on for a long time due to the improvement of Chakra, often cannot catch the figure of his father.
Kakashi has really realized in the past few months that other villages were facing the fear of "Konoha's White Fang" back then, and now it is still an "enhanced version".
But every time he was knocked down, when he saw his father's calm and encouraging eyes, he would grit his teeth and get up again and again.
He began to imitate his father, feeling the flow of the wind, listening to the vibrations of the air, and anticipating every subtle movement of his opponent.
He no longer blindly pursued the catharsis of power, but began to learn to control it, learn to compress and condense the tsunami-like power into a drop of water that could penetrate steel.
His eyes became more and more calm and sharp.
One month later.
On the training ground.
The father and son stood facing each other again.
This time, Kakashi did not attack. He just stood there quietly, holding a short knife in his hand, and his whole person seemed to be integrated with the surrounding environment.
Sakumo's eyes flashed with a hint of approval.
"Ugh!"
They both moved at the same time!
There was no lightning, no earthen wall, just two extremely fast white figures, constantly intertwining and colliding in the field!
Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!
The crisp sound of gold and iron, like the most rapid drumbeat, sounded intensively!
Sparks flying!
This time, Kakashi actually fought evenly with his father in a pure sword showdown between Taijutsu and Taijutsu!
Although he is still at a disadvantage, he can already keep up with Sakumo!
Finally, in a thrilling duel, Kakashi seized a fleeting opportunity, turned the blade, and struck Sakumo's arm at an extremely tricky angle!
Tsk--
There was a slight sound of fabric tearing.
Sakumo's sleeve was cut with a tiny cut, and a trace of blood slowly seeped out.
Kakashi panted and stopped, looking at the blood stain, he was stunned.
He... did it?
"Not bad."
Hatake Sakumo glanced at the wound on his arm. Instead of being angry, a heartfelt smile appeared on his face.
"Congratulations, Kakashi, you are ready."
Kakashi heard this and was so excited that he almost threw the knife away.
"Father! I..."
"But don't be too happy too early." Sakumo interrupted him, the smile on his face faded and became serious, "This is just the beginning."
"Kakashi, you grew up with your boss and are considered your best friends. But after this month of communication, I found that you actually don't understand the boss at all."
"What the boss gave us this time is not only physical strength, but also a ticket to a new world."
"Have you noticed the experiments and ninja tools we have been exposed to recently?" Hearing Hatake Sakumo's words, Kakashi also recalled the scene a month ago when he first saw and visited those "horrible" experiments and weapons.
Kakashi was really shocked at that time, or everyone present was shocked. In Kakashi's view, apart from some individual soldier equipment, some of the so-called Scientific Ninja Tool can no longer even be called ninja tools. Those are simply large battlefield weapons.
There are also those experiments that are simply "taboo" in Kakashi's opinion, such as the experiment of replacing "Kekkei Genkai" for ordinary people, and the experimental scenes of directly controlling another body (White Zetsu Puppet) to fight, etc.
He even heard from Orochimaru's "teacher" that he could be implanted with the Uchiha Clan's bloodline so that he would no longer be affected by Sharingan's inability to turn off all year round, but the price was that once the experiment failed, he would lose the Sharingan that Obito gave him, which made Kakashi decisively refuse.
And only after he came here did he know that the "Twins" organization that suddenly appeared in the outside world in the past two years and became famous was actually the subordinate of his "good brother" Senju Chen. These "Twins" were actually students who went out from this experimental base, but each of them brought a Puppet Clone with them when they went out.
After listening to his father's words, Kakashi suddenly realized that once the things in this experimental base are taken outside, the whole Shinobi World will usher in a "storm". All family, bloodline, and inheritance will be worthless.
And for these technologies, my "good brother" is obviously rushing towards mass production. In other words, these technologies will become standard here at Senju Chen in the future.
Think about it, from now on here, whatever blood successor limit you want will be assigned to you, and you will receive as powerful a ninja tool as you need.
No one even needs to go out in the future. You just need to lie there and control a White Zetsu Puppet, and then you can go out and perform tasks. No matter whether the task fails or not, the body will not be traumatized.
Now that the number of people here at Senju Chen has increased, or the technology here has made breakthroughs, then Kakashi can't imagine who else in Shinobi World can be Senju Chen's opponent. By then, Five Great Shinobi Villages combined will not be enough for him to fight. After all, the opponent will die, but he only consumes some "materials".
Thinking of this, Kakashi suddenly woke up. Could it be that he, the "good brother" who grew up together, had only been quietly preparing for these years, but in fact he had long had the ambition to unify Shinobi World?
Thinking of this, Kakashi couldn't help but look at his father again, wanting to get the real answer from his father.
After seeing his father's determined eyes, Kakashi fell silent.
Looking back, they are obviously about the same age, and I am even a little older than Senju Chen. Thinking again, I have been "muddleheaded, eating and waiting to die" for the past few years, but Senju Chen has already set his sights on Konoha to the entire Shinobi World...
"Kakashi, the boss arranged this "refresher training" for us, which shows that he truly trusts us. What the boss gave us is a ticket to the future."
"Through this month of observation and study, I found that the boss not only wants to dominate Shinobi World, he even wants to change the existing structure of Shinobi World."
"These three months are just for us to learn how to hold this ticket."
"So Kakashi, we must work hard to seize this opportunity so that we can live up to the boss's expectations and trust."
