Chapter X
Reality was always cruel.
Rashu split up a shadow clone to block Shusaburo's shurikens together, but the effect was minimal. After two rounds of attacks, Rashu's body took five hits, and the shadow clone was even worse, taking seven or eight hits. In other words, with the help of the shadow clone, he only managed to block four or five shurikens in two rounds. His father usually did not show his strength, but he did not expect that he really had some skills.
If this was a sparring session, Rashu would definitely not just sit back and do nothing. However, this was a parrying session, and he was here to be a target. What else could he say?
Fortunately, after reaching Genin's strength, he had increased his Insight attribute, allowing him to have a certain chance of seeing through his opponent's movements. As such, Rashu was not beaten very badly. At least, he could block two or three of the eight shurikens in each round. Sometimes, his Shadow Clone would even help him block a few times. However, Rashu did not help his Shadow Clone block a single time. After all, this was not actual combat. If his Shadow Clone could not do it, he could still create another one. He treated it as practicing his Shadow Clone.
Rashu did not know how big Shusaburo's ninja bag was. In any case, Rashu only saw Shusaburo continuously throwing out shuriken. Counting the shuriken on the ground, there should be at least a hundred shuriken.
Rashu had been beaten up so many times that he had become numb to it. However, he suddenly felt a surge of ferocity in his heart. He completely gave up on blocking and instead treated the shuriken that was flying towards him as an enemy. He used the Kunai in his hand to ruthlessly stab at it. With a few pu sounds, this round of shuriken actually did not hit Rashu at all.
Looking at his proficiency, it was still increasing.
"I see. I understand now. Whether it was defense or offense, as long as I could prevent the opponent from hitting me, it would be considered a successful block. I didn't need to be like a target for others to attack.”
After understanding this, he summoned another shadow clone and began to attack the shuriken that was flying towards him.
After Rashu knocked down all the shurikens that were flying at him for three consecutive rounds, Hatake Shusaburo no longer wiped his hands away from his waist. Instead, he hid them in his sleeves."Good friend, it seems that you have found the trick. Practice here by yourself.”
After taking two steps outside, he turned around and asked,"It's your birthday in a few days. What kind of gift do you want?”
"Fist Blade!" Rashu said without hesitation," I want a fist blade similar to Mr. Asmat's Flying Swallow!”
Hatake Shusaburo was silent for a moment before saying,"Are you really going to give up on the Qimu clan's saber arts and practice that kind of weapon?”
Looking at Shusaburo's dejected expression, Rashu swallowed the words that were already on the tip of his tongue. What he said was true. As a member of the Hatake family, it did not matter what weapon he used. However, was he really not going to learn this set of saber techniques?
I'm afraid it's not appropriate. []
Why don't you just learn? When it comes to fighting with others, wouldn't you have to decide what weapon to use?
"Forget it. If you don't want to learn, I won't force you. Later, put the blueprint of the fist blade you want in my room.”
Shusaburo sighed and staggered toward the exit of the training ground. When he was only five steps away from the door, Rashu's voice sounded behind him.
"Dad, if the gift you gave me doesn't disappoint me, I can take a day off every week to learn saber techniques from you.”
Hatake Shusaburo suddenly turned around and saw Luo Xiu giving him a thumbs up. Although he was wearing a mask, he could still feel that he was smiling.
Hatake Shusaburo smiled with some relief."Hehe, kid, you said it yourself. Don't go back on your word.”
Rashu laughed sneakily.”
Hatake Shusaburo had an indifferent expression on his face."What's the big deal? Our Qimu family has plenty of good metals to forge a saber. As long as you're willing to practice your saber, what's the big deal in forging a fist blade for you? Even if you want Asma's Flying Swallow, I can get it for you!”
Get Asma's Flying Sparrow? Forget it, his weapon might not be suitable for me. I'll just draw a suitable fist blade blueprint and forge a new one.
"No need. I'll give you the blueprint tomorrow.”
Seeing that Hatake Shusaburo had already stepped out of the training ground, Rashu called out to him again,"Right, dad, my chakra attributes are lightning and fire.”
Hatake Shusaburo nodded. Now that he knew the attributes of the chakra, he could truly make a custom-made one. In addition to the fist blade, he also needed to forge a saber. The Hatake family had many sabers, but they were suitable for the dual attributes of thunder and fire. In Hatake Shusaburo's impression, there seemed to be none. The chakra attributes of the Hatake family were mostly wind, water, and thunder. Fire and earth attributes were rare.
Seeing Shusaburo leave, Rashu seemed to have put down a burden on his mind. It was only then that he realized that it was the saber techniques of the Hatake family that had been weighing down on his heart.
Rashu and his shadow clone collected all the wooden shurikens that were scattered on the training ground and divided them into two piles. Each of them looked at one pile and threw them with their left hand while their right hand used Ku Wuba to knock away the shurikens that were flying towards them.
Rashu was a little regretful at the beginning. How could he have forgotten that he already knew how to use shadow clones? If he had remembered earlier, he wouldn't have needed to be ravaged by his father for so long. He couldn't finish sparring with shadow clones from the beginning. Not only was he ravaged by his father, but he also agreed to learn blade techniques. Sigh, but he should just learn it. It wasn't easy for his father to think of ways to let him learn blade techniques.
Rashu only tidied up the training ground when it was almost time for dinner. He recalled his shadow clone and went back to eat.
When he returned home, he realized that Kakashi, who he had been looking for for a few days, was actually sitting in his house. When he was talking to Rashu's mother, Hatsuki Ryuri, he was still holding his book," Intimate Paradise," which was not suitable for children.
Seeing Rashu come back a little tired, Hatsuki Ryuri quickly went to the door and took out wooden clogs for him to change into. Kakashi quietly folded a mark on the page and put the book into the ninja bag at the back of his waist.
Pulling off his mask, Rashu sat down next to Kakashi. Without saying anything, he poured himself a glass of water and drank it. After practicing for the entire afternoon, he had sweated a little, so he needed to replenish some water.
"You two brothers can talk here. I'll go get your favorite saury.”Hatsuki Naphtali greeted them and went to the kitchen.
"Did Asma look for you? Is everything alright?"
As it turned out, when Kakashi returned, he heard that Asama had returned to the village the day before. He was worried that Asama would think that Rashu had some intentions towards his Flying Sparrow and come to find trouble with him, so he did not even eat. After handing in the mission, he came to Rashu's house.
"I'm fine." Rashu guessed that Kakashi was afraid that something would happen to him, and his heart warmed." It was Mr. Kel who asked him to take care of me. Really, take care of him? Sigh, Mr. Kel actually treats me like a child.”
Knowing that nothing had happened, Kakashi was relieved. He narrowed his eyes and said,"Aren't you a child now?”
"Tsk!" Rashu was able to be at ease in front of Kakashi." You're an Elite Jounin. Didn't I send you flying back with a low-level illusion? Didn't I also throw Mr. Kel to the ground?”
"Hey, you're still excited?" Kakashi glared at him." Why don't we go and try again? Let's see if you can beat me back again!”
"Didn't you say I was a child?" Luo Xiu rolled his eyes at him. You have the cheek to bully a kid?!”
"Didn't you say that you're not a child?”
"Didn't you say that I'm a child?”
"Didn't you deny it?!"
"Alright, I admit it! What can you do to me?!"
"Hehe, don't you know that I like to bully children the most?”
“……”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To be clear, most family members lived together, just like the current small district. However, the members of the Dark Group lived alone most of the time. Kakashi used to work in the Dark Group, so he had his own residence.
Since this was the residence of the Flagtree family, Kakashi would be more open and wouldn't act the same as outside.
It was the same for Weasel from the Dark Group. Although he sometimes went back to his family to gather, he lived alone most of the time. Weasel's behavior at home was obviously different from his behavior outside.
The relationship between Kakashi and Rashu could be compared to the relationship between Itachi and Sasuke.
