"Mother, I'm back." The moment he entered, he gave Hisashi Tomoko a big hug." As expected, mother's hug is the warmest. You have to hug more in the future."”
"Little naughty boy." Tomoko Hippo knocked on his head. Obviously, she had already recognized that this was the real one.
"It's been a long time since I've been with Mother. I'll ask Uncle for a year's leave later and rest at home.”The hippo Han Yu smiled, revealing his white teeth.
"Won't this affect your mission? Ninjas didn't have any holidays. Moreover, the situation was starting to become unstable again. He heard that other countries were already starting small-scale wars. Our Mu Ye has taken on many dangerous missions. Even your Uncle Zixiao was injured during the last mission. He's still in the hospital.”Tomoko the Hippo was also listening to the people in the shop discussing some things. Because Hanyu the Hippo was also carrying out a mission in the ninja army, although he did not know what identity he was carrying out and what mission he was carrying out, he was following White Tooth the Wood Leaf. The mission he was carrying out must be very dangerous, so he was also paying attention to this information so that he could get information about his son in time.
Seeing the worry in his mother's eyes, Hippo Hanyu felt guilty. However, he hid his identity from his mother so that she wouldn't be too worried. If his mother knew that he was the famous " Woodleaf Gray Wolf ", she would probably be even more worried! He only wanted his mother to live a comfortable life, so how could he reveal too much?
"Yes! Got it. I'll go after school tomorrow.”The hippo Han Yu answered straightforwardly.
"I heard that the graduation exam is next month. Are you going to take it this year?”Hisashi Tomoko asked as she filled his bowl with rice and placed it in front of him.
The hippo Hanyu rubbed his chin and raised his eyebrows."Actually, it doesn't matter how the graduation exam goes. I still want to stay in school for another year. That way, I can spend more time with you. Once I graduate, I won't have any reason to always be by your side.”
"Alright then! Anyway, your uncle didn't object."
"I'm starting." The hippo Han Yu drooled as he looked at his mother's cooking piously.
Although she could eat her mother's cooking every time she went to the barbecue shop, that kind of environment was not as warm as home.
Tomoko looked at Hanyu who was wolfing down the food with a blissful smile on her face. Although her husband was dead, she still had a son, an obedient, considerate, and clingy son. She could see her son grow up healthily and happily, then inherit her husband's wishes and become an amazing ninja. What else could she complain about?
Half of the dishes on the table were eaten by the hippo Hanyu. He patted his bulging stomach and said,"I'm so full. I won't be hungry even if I don't eat for three days!”In the end, Hisashi Tomoko scolded and nagged,""It's not good for your body to eat so fast. You don't listen every time.”
"I can't help it. Mother's cooking is too delicious. Every time I don't eat quickly, my tongue will melt.”Hippo Hanyu patted his horse exaggeratedly. Looking at Hippo Tomoko's expression, he seemed to be enjoying it!
Because the entire ninja world had not achieved true peace, small-scale and local wars continued, and all kinds of conspiracies were brewing underground. Even if they were the victors of World War II, Kiba Village still did not dare to relax at all. The school still implemented wartime policies.
According to the normal procedure, they should have graduated in order. However, considering the different ninjas 'origins, family backgrounds, and talents, the school allowed the capable junior students to register for the graduation exam. Because of this, most ninjas needed to take the exam before graduation, while some could graduate at the age of five or six. Usually, these students who graduated early would be labeled as outstanding.
In the eyes of others, Hippo Hanyu, who had already been in the Ninja School for five years, was clearly not an outstanding student. It was because of Mitarai's recommendation that he had the opportunity to enter the Ninja School earlier than other children. But now, a batch of students who were in the same batch as him had already graduated, and he had the honor of repeating a year.
"Teacher, I want to sign up for the graduation exam.”The next morning, Kakashi, who was also famous for being the last in the class, made his request in front of the entire class.
The whole class burst into a long and unceasing laughter. The students present were basically older than Kakashi. The seven-year-old Kakashi had already been in school for three years. Other than the fact that he was Kanye's son and had some silver hair and gray eyes like his father, there was nothing praiseworthy about him.
Kakashi ignored his classmates 'ridicule. After signing up, he went to the upper class to look for his form, Hippo Han Yu.
"Hey-white-haired boy.”A loud voice rang out from behind him. It was a tall boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
"Are you calling me?" Kakashi stopped at the entrance of Hanyu's classroom and turned around to look at the blockhead who was in a strange pose.
"So you're Kiki Shuomo's son, what's your name again?”The tall boy knocked on his head as if he was thinking about a very profound question.
"Kakashi!" The person beside him reminded.
"Oh! That's right, it's you. Your name is Kakashi, right? I heard that you're going to take the graduation exam.”The news spread really fast! It had only been a short while, and someone already knew." Although you are the son of Kiki Shuogu, a low-ranking person like you wants to take the graduation examination in advance? Aren't you overestimating yourself! I think it's better to forget it! Don't embarrass your father again."
Contempt, this was definitely contempt. Kakashi clenched his fists, his eyes almost spewing fire.
"Ah! This is an angry gaze, just like your father!”Another sharp and mean voice sounded.
Unbearable, unforgivable. Kakashi's blood was about to boil, and his battle intent was burning. However, when he thought of the hippo Hanyu in the classroom, Kakashi could only endure it.
"Do you want to fight? You can't possibly beat the best fighter in my school, Kai. I advise you to go home and ask your father to guide you properly. Maybe you can graduate smoothly in two years, unlike some people who are said to have failed in advance. It's really embarrassing!”
Needless to say, the person he was referring to was the hippo Hanyu, who had just been held back from the graduating class.
"Enough, you bunch of condescending idiots. Don't think that you're very powerful. Compared to some people, you're nothing.”Kakashi finally couldn't take it anymore and broke his agreement with the hippo Hanyu, retaliating.
"Kai, listen, what an arrogant kid.”
The blockhead used his fingers to pick at his watermelon-skinned hair. With one hand on his waist, he pointed at Kakashi with the other and shouted,"Kid, this is the upper grade. Don't be too arrogant.”
"You must be Kai! I've heard of your name, a proud idiot who only knows three-legged martial arts.”Kakashi's mouth was also very vicious. When he scolded someone, he wasn't inferior at all." I want to defeat you.”
Kakashi wanted to defeat the young Pugilist, Kai. The entire school building's upper year students laughed. The one who laughed the most exaggeratedly was the black-haired, thick-browed, big-eyed Kai himself. He had his hands on his waist, laughing so brazenly, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. His eye-catching white teeth sparkled.
If one had to ask who the most famous person at the bottom of Muye School was, it would undoubtedly be the hippo Han Yu. It was said that the hippo Hanyu would start sleeping as soon as he went to class and would be full of energy after class. For the past five years, his grades had always been the last in class. He had already been held back by one grade (this was the second time he had repeated a grade), but he still held on to the title of last place in the class.
The other famous last place was the son of the famous White Tooth Woodleaf, Hatake Kakashi. He had been in school for three years and was always at the bottom. He and his cousin were simply brothers in distress.
Therefore, when the students in the school heard that Flagtree Kakashi was going to take part in the graduation exam and challenge the hot-blooded Kai, the students who were bored out of their minds in class all day immediately found some fun. The students in Hippo Hanyu's new class were all attracted by the commotion outside the classroom, and all of them had expectant looks on their faces. They couldn't wait for Kakashi and Kai to start fighting.
"Damn it." Kakashi, who had come to find Hippo Hanyu, wanting to solemnly inform him of his decision to participate in the graduation examination, glanced at the sleeping Hippo Hanyu in the corner of the classroom and angrily said to Kai,"Kai, I want to defeat you and let you know what a genius is.”
"Alright! Let the young and hot-blooded blue beast teach you what true physical skills are.”When Kai, the violent maniac, heard that Kakashi wanted to challenge him, his blood boiled, and he was eager to display the strongest physical skills he had inherited from his father.
The hippo Han Yu, who had been woken up by the noise outside, glanced at the two people who were standing at the door. He yawned and muttered,""How boring! If you want to fight, hurry up. Don't disturb my sleep.”Then, she climbed onto the table and fell asleep.
"Looks like you're not worried about Kakashi at all.”A head came over and asked.
"Ashima, I told you not to disturb my sleep.”Hippo Hanyu immediately remembered who this big head was and said in an unfriendly tone.
"Alright, I won't disturb you." Yuan Fei Ashima shrugged his shoulders and very sensibly retreated back to his seat.
This year, the hippo Hanyu was held back again, but it was a gathering of elites! Other than the hot-blooded Kai who had already appeared (he was also one of the students who was very confident in his own strength and signed up to take the graduation examination in advance), there was also the still very tender Yuan Fei Ashima, as well as the cute and quiet Jing Yin. He heard from Zi Lai that she was Duan's niece. It was no wonder that he would sometimes see her together with Steel Hands. There was also Sunset Glow, who had beautiful eyes that shone like rubies. His father was Sunset Eimen, the Red Sunset of the Eight Colors of Koba. He was also known as the greatest illusionist of Koba.
"Who do you think will win?" Even the quieter Mute came over to join in the fun and discuss with the other students.
"I'm not sure. I only know that Kakashi's results are very poor, but I haven't heard of him having any training sessions with anyone. He's a rather arrogant guy.”The one who spoke was Yi, the bespectacled man from the next class who had come to watch the show.
"Lord Han Yu, you and Kakashi have such a good relationship. You should know who is more powerful, right?”Sunset Glow, who had a red ponytail, asked Han Yu.
Talking to beautiful girls was one of the joys of going to school. The sleeping Hippo Hanyu immediately woke up and looked at Sunset Glow in high spirits."Ten moves. I bet that Kakashi will win within ten moves.”The words of the hippo Han Yu were shocking.
Sunset Glow smiled when she saw everyone looking at Hippo Han Yu as if he was an idiot. The little girl's clear eyes were exceptionally charming.
"Sigh! She knew that no one would believe her if she told the truth.”Hippo Han Yu whispered. Only Sunset Glow, who was closest to him, heard him.
" Kakashi!" The hippo Hanyu stood up and walked out of the door.
" Brother…" Kakashi obediently ran over, but his eyes were filled with anticipation.
"I agree to you challenging Kai, but if you lose, don't say that you're the son of Woodleaf White Tooth, and don't call me big brother, understand?”The hippo Han Yu leaned over to Kakashi's ear and said,""Ten moves. If you can't beat him, you'll continue to be the last in school.”
The young Kakashi was completely aroused by the battle spirit of the hippo Hanyu, as if he wanted to vent out all the grievances he had suffered over the past three years.
"Make your move!" Kakashi called out.
"Wait…" The hippo Han Yu remembered that the school had a rule that forbade internal strife. Moreover, this was not the right time."I'll see you in the training hall after school in the afternoon.”
The cold water that the hippo Hanyu had poured over Kakashi's head chilled his enthusiasm. He replied in a low voice,""Got it."
After a whole afternoon of brewing, the news that Kakashi was going to take part in the graduation exam and challenge Kai, who was in the same year as him, spread like wildfire throughout the entire school. The teachers who were originally prepared to stop this match, however, tacitly agreed to this match due to someone's special request.
Hiding behind the crowd, the hippo Han Yu smiled as he looked at the spectacular sight of the crowd in the training room. This was the effect he wanted. Kakashi, who had been enduring for three years, was going to explode for the first time. He believed that it would be very exciting.
The hippo Han Yu wasn't too interested in this kind of low-level battle. He was more interested in the interesting expressions of the spectators.
Kai bowed to the audience in a very graceful manner. With his left hand behind his back and his right hand spread out in front of his chest, he shouted confidently,"Let's begin! Kakashi."
Kakashi nodded, his right hand lightly swiping across the item bag, and two invisible hands were already in his hands. They turned into two rays of white light that shot towards Kai.
Kai supported himself on the ground with one hand and flipped over to avoid one Ruo Wu. His feet in the air kissed and clamped the other Ruo Wu. His movements were smooth as if he was performing acrobatics. Immediately, applause surged like a tide.
Kai bent his legs slightly and threw Ruo Wu towards Kakashi. With a "ding", Kakashi brandished his dagger and struck Ruo Wu away, then charged towards Kai.
Such a reckless and foolish action caused the onlookers to shake their heads.
Kai, who was good at close combat, also revealed a contemptuous smile." Wooden Leaf Whirlwind.”
Unable to dodge in time, Kakashi was sent flying, the dagger in his hand dropping to the ground. Just as the others thought that the battle was over, the dagger that was about to fall to the ground suddenly transformed into Kakashi in a gorgeous manner, while Kakashi, who had been sent flying, turned into a puff of smoke when he landed on the ground.
"Be careful." someone reminded.
Sensing that something was wrong, Kai immediately bent his body and lifted his knee, sending out a beautiful roundhouse kick towards Kakashi. A smile appeared on Kakashi's face, and Kai realized that his leg had actually swept past Kakashi's body without any resistance. He cried out in his heart,'Not good, it's a clone.”
A hand reached out from the ground and pulled Kai, who was standing on one leg, to the ground." Suicide Decapitation.”This was one of the ninjutsu that Kakashi was most proficient in. After all, he had been defeated by this move of the hippo Hanyu.
However, Kai was not Kakashi. He was not a person who could be understood by common sense. The moment he fell into the ground, he made a decision."Eight Gates of Escape. The first gate opens, the second gate opens, and the third gate opens.”Ah Kai was completely excited. He opened three doors in a row, and the chakra and physical strength in his body soared rapidly.”As Kai shouted, the ground around him cracked open. His sturdy body rushed out, bringing with it a cloud of dust.
"So fast!" Asma, who was watching from the side, looked at Kai and sighed.
"Fire Escape-Grand Fireball Technique." While Asma was flying in the air, Kakashi, who had been waiting for the battle, executed Fire Escape in a gorgeous manner. That ball of blazing flames shot towards Kai.
Kai, who had nowhere to put his strength, dodged in the air, but he was still burned by the fire and fell from the air. Under everyone's astonished gazes, Kakashi successfully won the battle. As for Kai, unfortunately, he was about to be roasted.
"Move aside." Steel Hands shouted loudly, and the people around Kai automatically made way for him. Steel Hands, who had appeared out of nowhere, squatted down beside Kai and used medical ninjutsu to treat him first.
Zirai looked at the students around him and said sternly,""School is over, you can all go back!”If it wasn't for his strange facial makeup that ruined his image, he would have looked like a dignified teacher.
At present, there was no one who did not recognize the " Three Ninjas " in Mu Ye's eyes. Seeing that the famous self-introduction had spoken, the teachers in charge of maintaining order began to organize the students to obediently disperse. Hanyu the Hippo, who did not dare to meet the Steel Hands, glanced at Kakashi before quietly leaving with the crowd.
Kai was also considered lucky. If it wasn't for the fact that Steel Hands happened to be at the scene (Was it really just a coincidence? It seemed that this competition could only be carried out because of someone's care! Is it Chess Wood Shuo Mao or Self-introduction? He would probably have to suffer a lot, but even so, he could not escape the fate of staying in the hospital for half a month.
This battle gave the students in the school a new understanding of Kakashi. This was the first time Kakashi and Kai had fought face to face, and also the last. Kai, who was unwilling to lose, regarded this battle as a lifelong humiliation. From then on, he set the grand goal of defeating Kakashi.
The name of the genius Kakashi quickly spread throughout the school, especially when one of the three ninjas, Selai, commented that " Kakashi probably hasn't displayed his full strength yet. He's definitely beyond Genin." After that, Kakashi and Kel successfully passed the graduation examination and officially became Koba's servants. However, this was a story for another time.
