Naruto entry.

Chapter 34 It's time to open your eyes.

Kakashi didn't understand why his father had done the most important thing for a ninja: to cherish his comrades.

But why did it turn into insults and accusations?

After a long while, Kakashi went to inform the others.

Not long after he reported it to the village, Jiraiya was the first to arrive.

"Sakumo actually..."

Inside the room, Jiraiya frowned.

He and Hatake Sakumo were about the same age, both born around Konoha Year 13.

However, Sakumo Hatake's reputation far surpasses theirs.

The legendary Three Ninjas are seen as an honor by outsiders.

But for them, it was also a disgrace that the three of them had survived Hanzo's clutches.

Even though several years have passed and the three have all made progress, the name "Sannin" has already spread.

Only Hatake Sakumo is different.

His nickname "White Teeth" was earned through sheer hard work!

Sakumo Hatake's body has been taken away by the medical ninja team for an autopsy to rule out the possibility of homicide.

"Kakashi, are you alright?"

Jiraiya looked at Kakashi, who had clearly lost his energy and become much colder, and asked...

"I'm fine, Jiraiya-sama. A ninja should prioritize missions. My father broke the rules of the ninja, so he chose..."

Kakashi didn't finish his sentence before turning and walking away.

Inside the room, ninjas were busy checking for any signs of spies infiltrating and using ninjutsu.

Only Jiraiya stood there, his brows furrowed.

He had other matters to attend to and needed to carry out a mission; only Tsunade and Orochimaru had come recently.

Little did I know that this farewell would be forever.

"Old man."

Jiraiya sighed.

That's why he didn't want to stay in Konoha all year round, but instead went out to find materials and to find the Child of Prophecy.

Although the tree of Konoha is lush and sunny.

Even though sunlight filters through the gaps in the leaves, there are still dappled shadows.

"Heh heh, giving up on life, how foolish. Sakumo's understanding of the world is not even as good as that Uchiha brat."

Orochimaru walked in.

Tsunade followed closely behind.

"Shut up, Orochimaru."

Tsunade frowned. After all, they were comrades from the same village, and Orochimaru's words were rather sarcastic.

Orochimaru looked at Tsunade's clenched fist and shut his mouth. He could still vaguely see the blue veins under Tsunade's fair skin.

Turning my head to look into the distance, I saw the direction of the Uchiha clan.

"The strong chose death under the wind of Konoha, while the ignorant weak chased after the wind, wanting to live and go further."

Is Uchiha Kiyoshi really the same kind of person as me?

Orochimaru's interest grew even stronger.

Because he is now also chasing after the winds of Konoha...

…………

Several days have passed, and Sakumo Hatake's death seems to have changed nothing.

The condemnation and gossip in the village suddenly decreased significantly.

Rumors began to circulate that Sakumo Hatake was a hero who bravely sacrificed himself to protect the village.

"Kiyoshi, will you graduate with me?"

Kakashi extended an invitation.

The dead fish eyes in his eyes only reveal extreme obsession.

"Have you finished writing your application?"

Kiyoshi threw down a shuriken.

The shuriken sliced ​​through the air and embedded itself in the tree trunk; three of its four metallic corners were already deeply embedded in the bark.

From a distance, it looks as if it's embedded in the surface.

After several days of training, Kiyoshi quickly acquired the skill of throwing shuriken.

The power of the shuriken has also increased by 10%, just as the description says.

"Um."

Kakashi's voice was devoid of emotion.

He took out a form and showed it to Kiyoshi.

Kiyoshi glanced at it twice; it was nothing more than a request to graduate early.

Kakashi could have mastered these three body techniques a long time ago, but he just kept putting it off until he graduated from school.

If Earth Release: Earth Wave can be released, what is a mere Three Bodies Technique?

"Then I'll do it as soon as possible."

Qing Si nodded.

The Three-Body Technique is the graduation assessment standard.

However, the ninja academy doesn't just teach the Three Body Techniques; there are also some theoretical aspects that Kiyoshi needs to familiarize himself with.

His time in the ninja world was ultimately too short.

"……Yeah."

Kakashi took back the form, his eyes, visible only beneath the black mask, showed no disappointment or anything else.

Since his father's death, Kakashi has kept his distance from everyone.

Rin Nohara, Might Guy, Kiyoshi, Obito...

The reason he invited Kiyoshi was that he felt being with Kiyoshi would increase the success rate of the mission.

A ninja's primary responsibility is to ensure the success of the mission.

Ninjas who cannot follow these rules are useless.

"Remember to tell me your thoughts after graduation, and we can discuss them from time to time."

Kiyoshi spoke.

Besides swordsmanship-related entries, Kakashi might also have entries related to lightning release techniques.

After Kakashi lost his Sharingan in the future, he didn't pick up Sakumo Hatake's swordsmanship again to train, but instead turned his attention to developing new lightning release ninjutsu.

This shows that Kakashi gave up swordsmanship not only to sever ties with the past but also to inherit Obito's Sharingan.

Perhaps he did not fully inherit Sakumo Hatake's talent in swordsmanship.

"Can."

Kakashi nodded, turned and left, preparing to hand over the application form in his hand.

Kiyoshi's gaze fell on Kakashi's departing figure.

"We could go take a look this afternoon."

Kiyoshi threw another shuriken, this one even deeper than the first.

Rin Nohara, who is extremely worried, will probably come to me for help.

Kiyoshi thought to himself.

Okay, so what should he do?

His right eye, a jet-black pupil, gleamed red, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of Kiyoshi's mouth.

Nohara Rin should be alive.

If used well, it can also be a way to deal with Obito.

Of course, Nohara Rin was good to him.

Kiyoshi couldn't bear to see her repeat the same mistake, dying in Madara Uchiha's trap just like in the original story.

Madara Uchiha is no longer someone that Kiyoshi or anyone else can deal with. Who knows what other tricks he might have up his sleeve after he removed the tube from the Gedo Mazo?

To help Rin Nohara avoid this trap, Obito needs a substitute who can awaken his Sharingan.

This caused Obito to experience a tremendous shock, thus awakening his Sharingan.

For example... Nohara Rin.

What could be more painful than losing my beloved forever and seeing only ruins around me?

Let him redeem all of this.

As long as the result is good, that's fine.

"Looks like it's time to open my eyes."

Kiyoshi secretly said.

……

This lesson was a free training session, and Kakashi walked across the wide training field to the edge.

"Kakashi, where are you going?"

Nohara Rin ran over and asked.

As a girl, she was very perceptive and noticed that Kakashi's mood was a little off.

Moreover, the news that Sakumo Hatake's mission failure caused serious losses to the Land of Fire, which was widely circulated just a few days ago, was quickly overshadowed by another event.

That was Sakumo Hatake's heroic sacrifice for Konoha.
