When Senju Chen walked out of the laboratory with the excited Kabuto Yakushi, he found a familiar figure waiting quietly outside.
It's Kakashi.
At this time, Kakashi had changed out of his miserable combat uniform and put on his iconic Konoha Jonin vest.
The gloom and depression on his face were swept away, and the exposed eye was clear and bright, as if years of dust had been washed away.
Seeing Senju Chen coming out, Kakashi immediately came up to greet her.
"Chen."
He didn't say any unnecessary nonsense, he just looked at Senju Chen deeply, and then, solemnly, bowed ninety degrees to him.
"Thank you."
This "thank you" contains so much.
Thank you for saving my father and making me no longer the son of a sinner.
Thank you for saving Lin and freeing me from ten years of nightmares and self-blame.
Thank you for allowing me, the "Lonely Star of Heavenly Evil", to have relatives and companions again.
That kindness is as heavy as a mountain.
Senju Chen accepted the gift calmly, stretched out his hand to help him up, and said with a smile, "Kakashi, we are friends, aren't we?"
Kakashi straightened up, his eyes a little red. He looked at Senju Chen, his eyes firmer than ever before.
"Chen, I want to join Public Security Department."
He figured it out.
Over the years, he has been immersed in the pain of the past and is confused. He thinks he is atoneing for his sins, but in fact he is just escaping.
But Senju Chen, his childhood playmate, silently shouldered everything for him and paved the way for him in the dark place that no one knew about.
He didn't want to let down this friendship again.
He wants to follow him and spend the rest of his life to repay this kindness.
Senju Chen looked at the determination in Kakashi's eyes and understood.
His father's "resurrection" and Lin's return, these two events completely shattered the shackles in Kakashi's heart and gave him absolute trust and dependence on himself.
"Kakashi, I understand what you mean." Senju Chen's tone was gentle, but with unquestionable power, "But now, I have a more important task to give you."
"What mission?" Kakashi asked immediately.
"After you go back, continue to help me... take care of Naruto." Senju Chen's eyes softened, "Minato-sensei and Sister Kushina are gone, and the child... can't have any more accidents."
"You are his senior brother and the person I trust most. I can only rest assured when I leave him to you."
Hearing the name "Naruto", Kakashi's body trembled slightly.
He understood what Senju Chen meant.
Compared with working for him personally, protecting the teacher's orphan is the more important thing at the moment.
"I understand." Kakashi nodded solemnly, and the eagerness to repay his kindness turned into a steady sense of responsibility.
"Improve your strength, Kakashi." Senju Chen patted his shoulder and said meaningfully, "The future world will be more magnificent than you imagine. One day, I will definitely be useful to you."
"At that time, what I hope to see is a Kakashi Hatake who can fight alongside me, not a follower who can only follow behind me."
Kakashi's heart was hit hard by these words.
He raised his head and looked at Senju Chen's expectant eyes, and a long-lost passion surged from the bottom of his heart.
Yes... he is the son of Konoha's White Fang and the disciple of Fourth Hokage. How can he be willing to be just a follower?
"Don't worry, I won't let you down." Kakashi's voice was full of power.
He nodded to Senju Chen again, then turned around and strode away.
There was no trace of confusion in that back view.
Senju Chen looked at the direction Kakashi was leaving, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
Kakashi has completely returned to his heart. Now all he needs to do is give him time and goals. In the future, he will surely become an indestructible sword in his hands.
At the same time, inside the mansions of Konoha and Senju Clan.
The body of Senju Chen is sitting cross-legged.
His eyes were closed tightly, and his expression was calm, like an ancient Buddha in meditation.
And in mid-air three meters in front of him, a standard Kunai violated all the laws of physics in the world and was floating quietly.
There is no Chakra Threads, no support from Wind Release, and no trace of any barrier or Sealing Jutsu.
It just floated out of thin air, as if an invisible hand was gently but absolutely controlling it.
Buzz--
A slight trembling sound.
The tip of the Kunai suddenly changed direction at an extremely tricky angle and pointed at the other end of the training ground.
Phew!
The sound of breaking through the air was sharp and harsh, and a ray of silver light tore through the air, almost teleporting through the wooden pile ten meters away, and then quickly flew back to Senju Chen.
The whole process is so fast that it is difficult to catch with the naked eye.
Senju Chen slowly opened his eyes and looked at Kunai floating in front of him. The smile on his lips could not be suppressed no matter what.
Hahaha, I finally "finished" this "Sword Manipulation Technique" hand!
Although playing "immortal cultivation magic" in the world of Hokage is a bit disharmonious!
But who can resist the thrill and charm of decapitating someone hundreds of miles away with a sword in hand?
After Senju Chen's test, the range that his mental power can affect is about 30 meters around his body. In other words, within 30 meters, Senju Chen is the "Rock Lee flying knife" that can be deflected.
If the "flying knife" were replaced by his specially made "Flying Thunder God Kunai", the picture would be...
Tsk tsk tsk!!!
The cause of the incident was two weeks ago, when Senju Chen, Anko, Kurenai Yuhi and Kurama Yakumo went on an outing. During the outing, Senju Chen used the topic of getting married in the future as a "daily check-in" for Kurama Yakumo.
After more than two months of getting along with each other, Senju Chen discovered that Kurama Yakumo is particularly sensitive to this topic and easily gets emotional whenever it is mentioned.
The result finally lived up to expectations. After more than two months of "persistent" "friendly exchanges" and "in-depth discussions", on the day of the outing, Senju Chen finally squeezed... well, extracted her top talent in mental power from the autistic genius girl - Kurama Yakumo.
[Soul Mutation]!
After extracting the top talent Kurama Yakumo, Senju Chen confirmed without hesitation that this was the key to Kurama Yakumo's incredible mental power.
After using the system to equip Kurama Yakumo's [Soul Mutation] talent, Senju Chen's brain felt an indescribable sense of comfort. This sense of comfort spread from Senju Chen's brain throughout his body. It felt as if the soul had broken free from some invisible shackles, and even the speed of thinking was a few minutes faster.
This gift of mental power is like a key, instantly opening the last shackles that bound Senju Chen's mental power, breaking through the mental bottleneck that had trapped him for a long time.
After using the system to equip this talent, Senju Chen's [Spirit Transformation Technique] was directly successful.
At this moment, his mental power has reached the level described in [Spirit Transformation Technique], enough to break free from the prison of the body and directly interfere with reality!
Controlling objects through the air is just the most basic side effect of this talent.
Now, with just a thought, his soul can leave his body and travel around the world, even like Dan Katō in the original work... quietly invading other people's spiritual worlds and directly controlling their physical bodies.
