A series of laughs from Hatake Kakashi dispelled the last bit of fear the two brothers had about the future, and they returned to their normal state while playing and fighting.
Kakashi Hatake is still the one who is bullied, but he never gets tired of it and perfectly interprets the role of the "punching bag".
And Hatake Akira was not polite either. He took advantage of Hatake Kakashi's desire to take care of him and tolerate him, and he became even more unscrupulous in making a fuss.
However, the time for playing was only three streets away, and the gate of the Ninja School soon appeared in the sight of the two brothers.
"Ming, hurry up and go to school." Kakashi Hatake's face turned expressionless again, as if it wasn't him who was laughing until tears just now.
"Got it." Hatake Akira also returned to his serious state, "But I have to remind you, remember to call me brother when there are many people around in the future. This is not negotiable."
"I understand, Ming." Hatake Kakashi glanced around and nodded after finding that there were no people around. "Go quickly."
"correct!"
Hatake Akira, who had just taken a few steps forward, suddenly turned back, took out a picture book from his trouser pocket and handed it over.
"Take this."
"What is this? A notebook? It's so small..." Hatake Kakashi took it with some confusion, flipped through a few pages and frowned, "A picture book? It's too childish!"
"What? Do you still want to continue the character you set up when you read pornographic books?" Hatake Akira squinted his eyes.
Although gambling and drugs are incompatible with Akira Hatake, Kakashi is still young. Ambitious young people must start from childhood, otherwise they may not be able to find a girlfriend when they are 30 years old.
"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't read it!" Hatake Kakashi blushed and quickly put the comic book into the ninja bag, "You can't read those messy things, you can't even talk about them, you must remember the three ninja commandments!"
"Ha, ha!" Hatake Akira sneered and turned away. He was the man who watched the whole story from the beginning to the end. He had a deep impression of His Highness Ka Huang who never put down his book...
After watching Hatake Akira enter the Ninja School, Hatake Kakashi raised the corners of his mouth hidden under his mask slightly, and then he used a teleportation technique to run to an empty street corner.
Wow…
The sound of pages turning was heard, and fairy tales with illustrations appeared in those dead fish eyes, and the light in them became brighter and brighter.
In fact, sometimes it’s not bad to live in an ivory tower. At least when you have to face challenges, leaning on the silent street lights in the middle of the night can provide a little warmth for your tired soul.
But then again, not everything is beautiful in the ivory tower; there is also filth buried deep underneath.
"Hey, isn't this the eldest son of the Hatake family, Hatake Akira? Has he been caught by your genius brother and brought to school again?"
"Naiyong, you are wrong. Hatake Akira was brought into the school by his brother."
"Yes, yes, thanks for reminding me, otherwise I would have forgotten it." Shimura Noyong agreed in a pretentious manner, "It's good that I was born five minutes earlier. I can let the genius Hatake Kakashi do everything for me."
Shimura Noyuki took a step forward. Although he was half a head shorter than Hatake Akira, his aura was not weak. Even with his head raised, one could see a defiant look in his eyes.
"If you didn't have the last name Hatake, with your behavior and trashiness, you should have been swept into the ordinary class and mixed in with those useless people!"
Everyone in the entire ninja school knows that Hatake Akira is the last in the class, but only a few people dare to jump out and point their fingers at him and make fun of him in person.
Shimura Noyu and Tsuchiya Gokata, a wolf and a wolf-dog, are representatives of them.
It’s no wonder that these two people are so arrogant. The main reason is that the rise of these two Konoha families has only been short, and their ancestors did not leave them much foundation.
After all, the family is backed by two Konoha elders, Danzo Shimura and Koharu Utane, so it is not easy to keep a low profile.
What's more, the Hatake family also has a genius boy named Hatake Kakashi who is many levels higher than them, and they dare not cause trouble for Hatake Kakashi. Hatake Akira, who has the title of the last one, naturally becomes the breakthrough point for them to vent their jealousy.
In the past, Qi Muming would at most think of it as being bitten by a puppy. Apart from the unpleasant noise, it did not have much impact on him.
However, having just been given a shot of adrenaline by Kakashi Hatake's roundabout emotional strategy today, Hatake Akira is eager to try it this time.
thump.
Without any warning, a kick landed on Noriyuki Shimura's chest, sending him flying four or five meters away.
Although the sound of the foot stepping on the chest was not very loud and did not hurt much, this kick undoubtedly completely ignited the anger in Noo Shimura's heart.
Noyuki Shimura, who was considered an excellent student, was successfully attacked by Akira Hatake, who was generally considered to be the last in the class. This was undoubtedly extremely insulting and provocative.
"Hatake Akira, you're looking for death!"
Noriyuki Shimura roared, got up from the ground and rushed forward with his fists clenched.
In response to this, Hatake Akira curled his lips. This method of attack with so many loopholes was no different from a fight between children, as Hatake Akira thought. He didn't know whether it was because he looked down on him or because his anger made him lose his mind.
With a casual wave of his hand, a passive chakra long-range attack shot out. In almost an instant, it crossed the distance of four or five meters between the two people and hit Shimura Noyuki's chest accurately.
vomit.
Bright red blood gushed out of Nooyuki Shimura's big mouth along with the sound of vomiting. He flew backwards in a "bow" shape and fell into a coma before he even landed on the ground.
With a basic attack of 300 points plus an additional bonus of 15% of Hatake Akira's own strength, the damage caused by this attack is no less than that of a C-level ninjutsu.
Moreover, this attack is instantaneous, and the cooldown time is only 5 seconds. It can be said that this is the only attack method that Akira Hatake can use now.
What's even more terrifying is that because of the golden finger, this method of attack has evolved into a tracking attack method, which cannot be avoided no matter how hard you try to dodge.
The only two ways to dodge are substitution techniques and space ninjutsu similar to Kamui.
Even if someone risked his life to stand in front of the attacked person, Hatake Akira's passive attack would take a detour and hit the opponent in an extremely strange way.
"Some people may bear the family ninja's surname, but they don't have the magnanimity that a family ninja should have. I used to disdain to deal with clowns like you, but that doesn't mean I will always ignore you."
After declaring victory, Hatake Akira turned and walked towards the second grade classroom, leaving behind a group of stunned ninja school students and Shimura Noyuki who was seriously injured and fainted on the ground.
Chapter 5: Two people confronting each other.
The top floor of the Hokage Building, the Hokage's office.
The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was bent over his desk, writing furiously, reviewing some reports, orders, and some events happening in and outside the village.
In general, when it comes to handling government affairs, Sarutobi Hiruzen is still a competent Hokage.
Suddenly, Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped the cinnabar pen in his hand, and gently flipped the document with his fingers. The report that he had originally flipped through went back one page.
"Hatake Akira..."
After repeating Hatake Akira's name in a low voice, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and fell into deep thought.
The report was submitted by a teacher from the Ninja School. It recorded the entire conflict between Hatake Akira and Shimura Nobuyuki. In addition to restoring the scene as much as possible, it also tried its best to avoid mixing in any personal feelings.
Therefore, there is no doubt about the authenticity of this report, which is a very detailed retelling of the situation at that time.
As for why Sarutobi Hiruzen re-watched the episode he had originally skipped, it was simply because of an ordinary fight at a ninja school that involved the Hatake and Shimura clans of Konoha.
Although it may not seem like a big deal at first glance, if you think about it carefully, the issues behind this could be big or small.
To put it in a broader sense, the fact that Akira Hatake seriously injured Noriyuki Shimura was an act of attacking a fellow villager without authorization, which clearly violated the ninja regulations.
Then this incident will have a very bad impact and must be recorded in Hatake Asamu's personal ninja file in the future, which will have some impact on his future promotion and assessment.
Even Danzo Shimura would use this as an excuse to put pressure on the Hatake family. Even if he could not bring substantial losses to the Hatake family, it would at least create a public opinion trend that was unfavorable to the Hatake family.
Obviously, this was something Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't want to see.
The current patriarch of the Hatake clan, Hatake Sakumo, is an outstanding figure in Konoha Village in terms of both achievements and political influence.
Moreover, Sarutobi Hiruzen intended to let Hatake Sakumo take over the position of the fourth Hokage, and the half Hokage sleeve hanging on his right arm was the best proof of this.
Although the Hatake family is slightly weaker, it is precisely because of this that it is easier to control, which makes Sarutobi Hiruzen trust him very much. He can be said to be Sarutobi Hiruzen's right-hand man.
How could Sarutobi Hiruzen not know that Danzo Shimura was eyeing the position of Hokage?
Based on Sarutobi Hiruzen's understanding of Shimura Danzo, he would never miss any opportunity to cut out or hit Sarutobi Hiruzen's wings.
Sure enough, when Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking about how to calm the situation of Hatake Akira seriously injuring Shimura Noyuki, Danzo Shimura had already pushed open the door of the Hokage's office and walked in with a gloomy face.
"Sarutobi, I believe you already know about the terrible incident that happened in the ninja school." Shimura Danzo came straight to the point, "I want to know how you will deal with this matter."
"How to deal with it is my business. Even if you are one of the three advisors of Konoha, you are not qualified to interfere in this matter." Sarutobi Hiruzen looked uneasy, thinking that what he feared would come true.
"Sarutobi, the severely injured person is my nephew, but you tell me that I have no right to interfere?" Shimura Danzo sneered, "Then as the head of the Shimura clan, I come here to ask for an explanation from you, is there a problem with that?!"
"No problem." Sarutobi Hiruzen lit his pipe, his face so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out of it.
Soon, smoke filled the entire Hokage's office. The two of them looked at each other and fell into a state of silence tacitly.
"Sarutobi, someone who doesn't value his companions and beats them up is not worthy of being a ninja!"
In the end, it was Shimura Danzo who was not good enough in cultivating his energy and he spoke first.
"Well, it's understandable that you said that. After all, it was Shimura Noyuki who was seriously injured, not Hatake Akira." Sarutobi Hiruzen exhaled a puff of smoke, "But you should read this report before you draw any conclusions."
Sarutobi Hiruzen took out the report that recorded the whole conflict between the two and pushed it in front of Shimura Danzo.
The latter did not hesitate. He picked up the report and read it, his expression slightly gloomy.
Noizo Shimura concealed some things from him, and Danzo Shimura himself was a little anxious. He rushed to find Sarutobi Hiruzen's weakness without conducting a thorough investigation.
The main reason is that Hatake Sakumo is very meticulous in his work, and he finally came across an opportunity that was not that good, so how could Shimura Danzo give it up easily?
Even if it fails, it would be nice to disgust Sarutobi Hiruzen. After all, in Danzo Shimura's view, the position of Hokage was originally his, and Sarutobi Hiruzen is not as good as him!
"So what?" Shimura Danzo said disdainfully, "Quarrels between companions happen all the time, but killing each other has never happened. Isn't this enough to prove the problem!"
"But we need to know the specific content of the quarrel." Sarutobi Hiruzen took back the report, "Shimura Noyuki's words seriously destroyed the balance between family ninjas and civilian ninjas. Is the word "trash" the right way to address a companion?!"
"This……"
Danzo Shimura paused for a moment, and then wanted to continue speaking, but how could Sarutobi Hiruzen give him the opportunity to continue to take advantage of the topic?
"That's the truth. No matter how much you say, it won't stand up." Sarutobi Hiruzen made the final decision. "Shimura Noyuki himself behaved improperly and frequently provoked Hatake Akira. He deserved the injury."
"However, considering that he was seriously injured, the above faults will not be pursued. Although Hatake Akira, who caused Shimura Noyuki to be seriously injured, violated the ninja regulations, but considering that there were reasons for it, only his behavior will be recorded in his personal ninja file, and the rest of the responsibility will not be pursued."
"Hiruzen, you!"
"Call me the Sandaime Hokage!" Sarutobi Hiruzen slammed the table, "Danzo, just put yourself in the right position and do your job well. You'd better stay out of other things!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was at the end of his prime, still retained some of the heroic spirit of his youth. Although he had shown a tendency to play peacemaker and become a politician, he was still very tough during this period and was able to suppress Shimura Danzo.
After the decision was made, Danzo Shimura could only leave in disappointment and continue to lurk in the dark waiting for the next opportunity to attack Hatake Sakumo.
After all, if you want to become Hokage, besides Sarutobi Hiruzen, who is a strong competitor, Hatake Sakumo, who is very popular among the people, is also an extremely strong competitor.
"Hokage Guards?" Sarutobi Hiruzen shouted.
"Sandaime Hokage-sama!"
The three members of the Hokage Guard used the Flickering Technique to appear in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen in an instant, knelt on one knee and waited for the next order.
"Go call Sakumo over and tell him I have something to ask him."
After receiving the order, the three members of the Hokage Guard used the instant body movement technique to leave, and soon found Hatake Sakumo and informed him.
