Hatsuta felt a little upset today. Yesterday, she was scolded by her father as a waste who had embarrassed the Hinata Zong family. She came to school early in the morning, but because there was no one to talk to, she did not dare to talk to anyone about the sorrow in her heart. She could only find a remote corner with no one to melt the sorrow in her heart alone.
Suddenly, she heard footsteps approaching her. Someone was there! Hatsuta didn't have time to think. In order to avoid being seen by others, she hid in the bushes beside her and observed the situation outside through the cracks in the trees.
The person was wearing a white hoodie with an open collar and a pair of light blue cropped pants. There was also a rabbit mask on his face. It was Kaede Haruno.
What was he doing here? Hatata, who was hiding behind the bushes, felt her heart beat faster when she saw Kaede Haruno, and her face unconsciously turned red again. He had a good first impression of Kaede Haruno when he met him for the first time yesterday. He felt that he was a very sunny boy. Although it was impossible to talk about love on the first meeting, there was still a faint liking.
He did not seem to notice that there were people around him, nor did he expect that Hinata was hiding behind the bushes and secretly watching him.
Seeing Kaede Haruno put his hand on the mask, Hatata felt her heart jump out of her stomach. Was he going to take off his mask? What kind of face was hidden behind the mask? Her heart was filled with anticipation and nervousness.
As the mask was removed from his face, his ridiculously handsome face finally saw the light of day again. Hatata swore that she had never seen such a handsome person before. At this moment, Hatata could no longer be bothered with her shyness. She just stared straight at Kaede Haruno. She suddenly noticed that Kaede Haruno seemed to be in pain. Before she could think about it, she saw him spit out a mouthful of thick blood. Hatata, who was hiding at the side, was frightened. Her small face was filled with worry and nervousness, but she did not dare to come forward because of her cowardice.
Just as Hinata was in a dilemma, an old voice suddenly sounded in front of him. Hinata was so shocked that he thought he had been discovered and did not know what to do.
"Kaede Haruno? The genius of all attributes of the Haruno family." An old man had appeared beside Kaede Haruno.
The old man was wearing a red bamboo hat with the word " Fire " written on it. A white hood was attached to the hat. The hood was long enough to cover his shoulders. The old man stared at Kaede Haruno with his eyes slightly open. The deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes seemed to indicate the vicissitudes of life he had experienced. His cheeks were covered with age spots, and there was a wooden pipe in his old lips. His white goatee added some vitality to the old man.
If Kaede Haruno guessed correctly, the old man in front of him was the highest existence in this village-the third generation Fiery Shadow Ape Flying Sun Slash. He tried hard to raise his head and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve. He couldn't figure out why the third generation was here, so he asked tentatively," Isn't it polite to tell others your identity before asking?”
"Ah, haha." Hearing Kaede Haruno's question, the third-generation successor smiled embarrassedly. He took a puff of his cigarette and introduced himself,""My name is Flying Ape Sun Slash. I am the third generation Naruto of this village.”
Kaede Haruno revealed a look of surprise and asked with uncertainty,""Why are you looking for me?" Kaede Haruno was in excruciating pain, so he didn't bother with the complicated honorifics and went straight to the point.
" Uh…cough cough." The third-generation successor was a little embarrassed. Even if he wasn't very respectful after hearing his name, he couldn't show impatience on his face. "Why am I here? Well, I just wanted to ask you about your dream, that's all.”
Although Kaede Haruno heard what the third-generation successor said, he caught the flash of light in the third-generation successor's eyes when he said this. He felt that things were not that simple. To be cautious, Kaede Haruno had no choice but to play Tai Chi with the third-generation successor." Before asking about other people's dreams, you have to report your own dreams first. That's more polite."”
"Hehe, this child." Kaede Haruno's seriousness amused him." My dream…" His voice became a little low and ethereal." It's to protect the leaves." To me, the wooden leaf village isn't just an organization. Every year, the wooden leaf village will give birth to many ninjas. They will then fight, even if they die to protect what they cherish. The people in this village, even if they are not related by blood, to me: The most important thing was his family!”
Kaede Haruno was still immersed in the dream blueprint drawn by the third generation, unable to extricate himself for a long time. By the time he came back to his senses, the third-generation successor had already walked far away. Looking at the third-generation successor's back, there was a hint of admiration in Kaede Haruno's eyes. This was a respectable old man. "Hey, didn't you want to ask me about my dream?”Kaede Haruno couldn't help but shout as he watched the third-generation successor walk further and further away. He couldn't understand why the third generation wanted to find him. If they simply wanted to ask him about his dream, why would they choose to leave before they could get an answer?
The three generations had gradually walked away, but their voices still lingered in Kaede Haruno's ears." As long as there were leaves flying, the fire would burn. The shadow of the fire would illuminate the village and cause new leaves to sprout. The true power of a ninja would only be revealed when he wanted to protect the people he cherished the most. Ninjas are not as simple as you think. I see the yearning for beauty in your eyes. Fight hard and let the will of fire spread to every corner of the world.
Kaede Haruno sat there in a daze, recalling the last words the third generation left for him. Especially 'ninja', it's not as simple as you think.”This was undoubtedly a wake-up call for Kaede Haruno. Indeed, he was too arrogant. He naively thought that he was invincible just because he could learn the all-attribute ninjutsu. I almost lost my life today. Little brat, you're still too inexperienced. Kaede Haruno laughed at himself.
The true power of a ninja can only be displayed when protecting the people they cherish the most? Who did he cherish the most now? Kaede Haruno couldn't help but imagine his father, Fujita Haruno, his mother, Erika Haruno, and his cousin, Sakura Haruno, having a family reunion. A blissful smile hung on the corner of his mouth. The people I cherish the most, let me, Kaede Haruno, protect you!
The thought of becoming stronger grew stronger in Kaede Haruno's mind.
He checked his body and found that there were no major problems. He was only a little sore, but it was still within his acceptable range. Only Kaede Haruno's abnormal body would be like this. If it was an ordinary person who experienced this, not to mention recovering in a short while, the best outcome would be that their meridians would have been broken long ago. Since he was no longer in any serious trouble, there was no need to stay here any longer. Therefore, he put the mask on his face, tidied up his slightly messy clothes, and walked away with heavy and slow steps.
Not long after Kaede Haruno left, the bushes behind him shook a few times. Hatsune came out from behind the bushes and stared at Kaede Haruno's back, deep in thought.
Kaede Haruno did not return to school. He chose to go home. The desire to become stronger in his heart disturbed his calm mind. He didn't plan to go to school anymore. Although the step-by-step learning method could make him stronger, it was too slow. If something unexpected happened during this period of time and he was unable to do anything…He did not want to become a useless person. He wanted to use his strength to protect the people he cherished the most, and all of this required great strength as a guarantee.
After thinking for a while, he finally thought of the fastest way to increase his strength-actual combat! That's right, actual combat! Only through actual combat, under the threat of death, could a human's potential be stimulated to the greatest extent. When one's strength reached the maximum, it was also the fastest way to improve.
Kaede Haruno was an impatient person. To put it nicely, this kind of personality was swift and decisive, but to put it bluntly, it was like wind and rain. As soon as she entered the house, she went straight into his room. When he was asked why he didn't go to class, he lied that he had a stomachache.
He entered the room and took out the Ninjutsu scroll that Haruno Fujita had given him yesterday from the box under the bed. He also took some money from the drawer and was about to leave. He thought about it and couldn't just disappear like that. An idea came to his mind. He formed a seal with his hands, and with a poof, an identical Kaede Haruno appeared beside him. Kaede Haruno patted the shoulder of the other Kaede Haruno and smiled."I say, you have to act like it's something serious. No matter what, I spent half of my chakras to create it.”
"Don't worry, leave it to me." Kaede Haruno, who was created from chakras, confidently guaranteed. It turned out that this fake Kaede Haruno was a clone created by Kaede Haruno using chakras, allowing him to live in the village in place of his main body. Moreover, as long as the chakras were not exhausted, the clone would not disappear. In other words, as long as the chakras were not exhausted, Kaede Haruno would not be discovered to be a fake.
Kaede Haruno did some calculations. According to the fact that he had half of the amount of chakras that he had, it would probably take him several years to use it conservatively.
Kaede Haruno smiled reassuringly." Thank you, then."”Carrying the scroll on his back, he opened the window and jumped out. He didn't dare to go through the main entrance, afraid that Erika would notice something strange. He did not intend to bid farewell, because this was not a matter of life and death. Moreover, the Chakra clone would promptly send information back to the main body, as if he had always been by their side, so there was no need to bid farewell.
"Dong dong dong." Kaede Haruno had just jumped out of the window when there was a knock on his door." Kaede, are you inside?" I'm going in." Erika's voice came from outside the door.
"Yes, come in." Fake Haruno Kaede opened the door and a bowl of hot water appeared in front of him. "Quick, drink this freshly brewed ginger soup while it's still hot. Your stomach will be fine after drinking it.”Erika gently watched Kaede Haruno finish the ginger soup. She took back the empty bowl and patted Kaede Haruno's smooth forehead."Go to bed and lie down for a while. You'll be fine after a nap.”
With a bang, the door was closed by Erika. The fake Kaede Haruno still stood there quietly, his eyes flashing with a different kind of brilliance.
Walking outside the village, Kaede Haruno was in a good mood. When he left the village, he was worried that the guards wouldn't let him out. He didn't expect them to ignore Kaede Haruno at all. He heard the old man who left the village accidentally say that a ninja leaving the village without permission was considered a traitor. Fortunately, he was just a child who had just entered the ninja school for a few days. Kaede Haruno thought he was lucky.
