Lord of the Storm of Konoha

Chapter 25 As expected of my son!
The battle between Lei Chen and Kakashi changed rapidly, and it seemed that there were many twists and turns, but it didn't take long.At this time, the early morning sun was slowly rising, outlining an orange-red sunrise on the horizon.

Hatake Sakumo looked at Kakashi with complex expressions in his eyes. After a long time, he sighed softly.

None of the three spoke, the air was as quiet as being strangled, only the crisp crackling sound of the branches swallowed by the flames.

At this moment, Hatake Sakumo suddenly said, "Lei Chen, come over here!"

Lei Chen was a little puzzled, and walked to Hatake Sakumo.

Hatake Sakumo took out a ninja knife from behind and handed it to Lei Chen, "According to the agreement, this ninja knife is given to you."

Lei Chen was a little at a loss, and happily took the ninja knife.The blade is slightly longer than the black sword, reflecting sharp white light, and it feels cold when you hold it, very similar to the ninja sword used by Kakashi.

"This is the ninja sword I used when I was young. It's useless now, so I gave it to you. Have you decided on a name?" Hatake Sakumo took a complicated look at the ninja sword, and then said gently .

White Fang's youthful saber?

Lei Chen was a little surprised and excited, the quality of this ninja sword is definitely not inferior to that used by Kakashi.

After thinking for a while, he said a name.

"The Fang of the Wind and Thunder."

"The Fang of the Wind and Thunder?"

Hatake Sakumo smiled lightly, "It matches your ability quite well."

But he looked at Kakashi, who was in a daze not far away, his smile disappeared suddenly, and he sighed softly, "Did you hold back when you and Kakashi competed?"

amount……

Lei Chen couldn't help clenching the ninja sword he just got, but without changing his face, he said, "How come, Kakashi is very strong, and I narrowly won."

"There's no need to hide it, the moment you get the ninja sword, you can end the battle."

Although Hatake Sakumo's voice was flat, his heart was very complicated.Not long after Lei Chen used the ninja sword, he noticed that with Lei Chen's speed of swinging the sword, it was too late for Kakashi to resist it with a short ninja tool like Kunai.

At first, he thought that Lei Chen's sword skills were not proficient enough, but later he found out that he deliberately swung every knife on Ku Wu.In the end, it was discovered that Kakashi's Kunai couldn't hold on anymore, and even took the initiative to slow down to let Kakashi escape from his attack.

He also discovered this, so he handed Kakashi the ninja knife.

This made him dumbfounded and helpless, what made him dumbfounded was that Lei Chen released the water probably because he was afraid that defeating Kakashi would make him lose face.What is helpless is that Lei Chen actually comprehended the essence of Hatake Saber so quickly, and has grown to this point in a week, even he is a little ashamed of himself.

Hatake Sakumo couldn't help but sigh with emotion, compared to Kakashi, Lei Chen is more suitable to inherit his saber mantle.

Lei Chen lowered his head slightly and didn't speak. In fact, he not only kept his hands here.

At the beginning, when Kakashi used the big fireball to ignite the surrounding trees, he could disperse the fire before it expanded, so that it would not form a favorable situation for Kakashi, and he would not be able to use the subsequent series of combos .

Of course, it is impossible for him to say, the EQ is too low, this is not the time to pretend.

Hatake Sakumo looked at Kakashi complicatedly, the latter lowered his head like a child who made a mistake.

Lei Chen also felt a little emotional. During this period of contact, he gradually understood the character of Hatake Sakumo. This strongest character in the original book left a deep impression on him.

He can be said to be the guide of Lei Chen's ninja sword, and now he has given him all the sabers he used to have, and more importantly, the silent but affectionate father-son relationship between him and Kakashi Move him.

But such a person does not have a happy ending...

Lei Chen looked at Sakumo Hatake, and then at Kakashi who was beside him. Kakashi is already over 5 years old, and he will go to perform that mission soon!
It was also that task that made Konoha's hero Bai Fang the object of the whole village's spurning, and finally committed suicide unbearably, and Kakashi also...

After hesitating for a long time, Lei Chen still spoke, "Master Hatake, I want to ask you a question."

"Go ahead."

Lei Chen plucked up his courage, looked into Hatake Sakumo's eyes, and his expression became serious.

"The tasks and companions of the village, who would you choose?"

"Huh? Why are you asking this? As a ninja, of course I take the task first."

Hatake Sakumo chuckled, Lei Chen's question made him a little confused, but seeing Lei Chen's serious expression, he still answered.

But having said that, I seem to have an important task in a few days.

"What if it's a very important partner?"

Hatake Sakumo frowned, Lei Chen's repeated questions made him a little dissatisfied, but for some reason, he hesitated about this question.

"It should be a mission!"

Hatake Sakumo suddenly looked into the distance, wondering what he was thinking.

Lei Chen knew the result when he saw Hatake Sakumo's expression, and he would choose a partner.But do you know that in the end even the companions you saved will blame you, is it worth it?
But he couldn't say these words, and he couldn't say them.

Hatake Sakumo did not choose to talk to Lei Chen again, but walked towards Kakashi silently.

Lei Chen looked at Hatake Sakumo's back, and suddenly felt sour in his heart. You are a powerful ninja with great strength, but you don't have a strong heart...

Could it be that your final outcome can only be reduced to a victim of power struggle?
Lei Chen decided to say one last sentence.

"Master Hatake, I want to say that if one day you are spurned and slandered by everyone."

"Please remember, you are not alone, you still have Kakashi..."

Hatake Sakumo stopped in his footsteps, his body trembled slightly, and he looked at Kakashi not far away with his head bowed, a smile appeared in his eyes.

"Okay, thank you Lei Chen, I will remember."

Lei Chen didn't know what Hatake Sakumo's final outcome was, but he did everything he could, and left the rest to fate...

Kakashi still had difficulty accepting this reality, and two consecutive failures made him disheartened.

If it is said that the first fiasco aroused the fighting spirit in his heart and made him muster up the courage to challenge again.Then this time, he completely shattered the fantasy in his heart. Even if I try my best, even if I use all the means, am I still not as good as you?
He stood blankly, his eyes dimmed like a black cloth, not far away the flames were devouring the branches of the trees, and the black ash blown by the wind fell on his silver hair.

It looks so desolate, so helpless...

Hatake Sakumo walked slowly to his side, squatted down, and looked at Kakashi's face.Kakashi lowered his head subconsciously, not daring to meet his gaze.

"Father, I have let you down..."

"No! You are already excellent."

Hatake Sakumo stretched out his hand and gently brushed away the ashes from Kakashi's silver hair. Under the reflection of the orange-red morning sun in the distance, he stroked Kakashi's head with a loving smile on his face.

"As expected of my son! Kakashi..."
