Naruto: The secret in the wood escape barrier

On the way home, Xiao Jing held Kakashi's hand tightly and jumped up and down with joy. Kakashi felt happy and worried when he saw that he completely ignored Iruka's words.

I am happy that Xiao Jing is not affected by the criticism. I am worried that Xiao Jing is a child of a ninja after all. If he continues to be at this level, the ninja may not be able to do it anymore. In this cruel living environment, then It's like losing the ability to protect yourself, and you can't protect him for the rest of your life.

Kakashi knew that the responsibility lay with him. The lack of pheromones during pregnancy caused Xiao Jing's poor physical fitness, which was more obvious in his studies. He was not at all like the one who knew everything when he was a child, but he knew the hard work behind Xiao Jing's efforts.

Every time he watched the child practicing shuriken in the yard regardless of the weather, condensing chakra on his feet and climbing trees, he fell down again and again, and every time he fell on the child, it hurt in his heart.

And this incident also reminded him of his own attitude towards Obito when he was a child. He was so disgusted when he thought of himself who laughed at Obito that he was the tail of a crane. At that time, he didn't even think about the consequences of his actions on Obito. What kind of blow and hurt, I just thought he was stupid and never thought of understanding him or helping him.

"Dad, what are you thinking about?" Xiao Jing gently pulled his sleeves and asked him with wide eyes. Kakashi then walked out of his memories.

"Well, dad was thinking about what Iruka-sensei said just now." Kakashi didn't tell the truth.

After hearing Kakashi's answer, Xiao Jing lowered his head.

Seeing the child's dejected look, Kakashi touched his head with his hand.

"Dad thinks Iruka-sensei is too worried."

Hearing Kakashi say this, Xiao Jing raised his head in surprise.

"One thing, just like ninjutsu, not everyone is good at it. Now is just the beginning stage of your learning. People who are not good at it at the beginning do not mean that they will not be good at it for the rest of their lives. Just like some people are not good at ninjutsu, but are very good at taijutsu , just like your Uncle Kai. Moreover, even if some people are called geniuses in some aspects, they have fatal flaws in other places——"

Before Kakashi finished speaking, Xiao Jing interrupted: "But dad is a genius, so he is perfect."

Hearing the child commenting on himself like this, Kakashi was not happy at all. He looked at Xiao Jing seriously, and then told him sincerely:

"Dad is not perfect. In the past, it was because he was too conceited that he lost the most important person to him. Now, although your study at the ninja school is not going well, you are kind, diligent, and helpful, and you have a heart that can do everything for you. A heart that considers others. These beautiful qualities are far more valuable than learning a certain ninjutsu."

"Hmm...a beautiful quality, like what dad said about Uncle Obito?" Xiao Jing asked with a raised face when his dad affirmed him.

Kakashi nodded softly when he heard Obito's name coming out of Xiao Jing's mouth.

Then he continued: "But if you want to protect others, you still need real strength. But dad believes in you, and I believe that one day you will find the ninja path that suits you best."

The young Xiao Jing nodded in understanding.

Looking at the sensible child, and thinking that he and Tenzo were busy with tasks and ignored the small shock, Kakashi felt guilty. He knelt down and looked at the child with gentle eyes.

"Dad was just busy with his tasks and neglected you. Dad apologizes to you. Dad will try to spend more time with you in the future, okay?"

"Yeah!" Xiao Jing nodded happily. He put his little hands around Kakashi's neck and said aggrievedly, "I just want to spend more time with dad."

Kakashi's nose felt sore, but in the end he just responded with the word "ok".

Xiao Jing looked at Kakashi with his big black eyes flashing: "Dad, I want to eat saury."

"No problem, daddy will do it for you." Kakashi fondly touched Xiao Jing's little face.

The setting sun stretched the shadows of the father and son very long, and they walked hand in hand in the direction of home.
