Chapter 207 Kakashi’s Heart Knot (5k)(1/2)
"Yesterday's mission was really dangerous. Thanks to your support, Long Xian, otherwise I would have been in danger."
"Haha, we are companions. I'm not a guy like Kakashi who ignores his teammates for the sake of missions."
"Speaking of Kakashi, I heard some time ago that his team suffered heavy losses during the mission. Only the guidance jounin and himself survived. How miserable."
"It would be really unfortunate to be on the team with that guy. Fortunately, we left early, otherwise the same thing might happen to our team."
After the training, Kakashi dragged his exhausted body home and met his former teammates chatting on the road.
After hearing the conversation between the two, Kakashi's thoughts about breathing techniques suddenly stopped.
Kakashi didn't hide his whereabouts on purpose. The two former teammates noticed Kakashi walking over and immediately closed their mouths.
"Ahem, Kakashi, good evening." The former teammate didn't know if Kakashi heard it, but Kakashi didn't say anything, so he pretended not to hear and said hello.
"Well, good evening." Kakashi replied with an expressionless nod, and then continued walking towards home.
"It's so embarrassing. I don't know if he heard it."
"It doesn't matter whether he heard it or not. He probably doesn't have a good impression of us anyway."
Kakashi, who has good hearing, can still hear some subtle conversations even if he walks a certain distance, but he has no intention of paying attention to this.
Kakashi was not angry because two former teammates were talking about him behind his back. If he would have been angry because of this discussion, he would have been angry to death when his father committed suicide, because he could go anywhere at that time.
Feel the strange eyes.
And they were indeed right. Kakashi's mission had the highest priority. During the execution of the mission, even if they were injured, Kakashi would also prioritize the mission.
During the period when he became Muyue's disciple, except for the very beginning, Kakashi rarely thought about what it means to be a qualified ninja, and whether a ninja should put his mission first.
Because Mu Yue's training intensity is maxed out, she is either learning advanced ninjutsu like Pseudo-Dark Purple Lightning or secret and forbidden techniques like Thunder Breath Armed Color Haki. Under high-intensity training, it is difficult to have the energy to think about other things.
Moreover, there was an Obito in the team who was madly motivating him, so Kakashi had to spend some of his remaining energy on confronting Obito.
The words of the two former teammates made Kakashi fall into the mission and thinking about ninjas and teammates again.
"The reason why my father is blamed by everyone is because he failed the mission, so the ninja who can complete the mission is the qualified ninja." Kakashi thought in his mind.
Then Kakashi shook his head again. He thought of Mu Yue's words. White Fang had implemented his ninja way and was not a failed ninja.
Although he and Mu Yue have not known each other for a long time, Kakashi admires Mu Yue very much, not only because Mu Yue is very strong, but also because Mu Yue has excelled in all aspects of being a teacher.
All the teachers I come to are different.
So Kakashi is willing to listen to what Mu Yue says and is willing to believe it.
A trace of confusion appeared in Kakashi's eyes. On the one hand, it was the established fact that his father was blamed for the failure of the mission and eventually committed suicide. On the other hand, there was the recognition from his admired teacher, telling him that White Fang was actually a ninja worthy of respect.
Kakashi thought about it, ate dinner, and came up with nothing until eleven o'clock in the evening.
Lying in bed, Kakashi didn't fall asleep for a long time. Even though he was very sleepy, he wanted to sleep, but as soon as he closed his eyes, he couldn't help but start thinking about those things, making him unable to fall asleep.
In the end, Kakashi didn't know when he fell asleep, but when he woke up and saw the bright sun outside, Kakashi knew one thing, he was late.
Kakashi quickly finished washing up, then grabbed something edible and stuffed it into his mouth and quickly rushed to the southern forest.
When Kakashi arrived, other disciples were already practicing. Obito and Shisui were running with full concentration breathing and were covered in sweat. Metkai was scratching his head and practicing the change of Yin Escape properties. There was an injured fish next to Nohara Lin.
There are also broken trees.
Obito who was running happened to pass by Kakashi, and when he saw Kakashi coming late, Obito wiped away the tired look on his face and laughed out loud:
"Hey, isn't this Kakashi? Why are you two and a half hours late today?"
"Did you also go to help the old man?"
After saying this, Obito instantly felt refreshed and his body didn't seem so tired.
In the past, he was criticized by Kakashi for being late, but this time it was finally his turn.
"I just slept late." Kakashi explained expressionlessly, and then walked to Muyue.
"Tch, you're so proud even though you're late." Obito muttered and continued practicing.
"Teacher Muyue, I'm sorry." Kakashi apologized, "I didn't sleep well yesterday, so I woke up late today."
"It's okay. It's okay to be late occasionally. After all, accidents always happen. Let's start practicing." Mu Yue said with a smile.
Kakashi nodded, and then began to practice the Breath of Thunder under Muyue's guidance.
I don't know if it's because he didn't sleep well yesterday or something else, but Kakashi couldn't feel particularly good while practicing the breathing technique today. He didn't feel any progress after the morning practice, and it was even more so when he practiced Armed Color Haki in the afternoon.
In the morning, it can be explained by the fact that he was two and a half hours late and didn't have enough time to practice. In the afternoon, he really didn't know what he was practicing.
Usually when Mu Yue lectures and demonstrates, he can automatically practice it in his mind, but not today.
Although Muyue didn't know what happened to Kakashi, he noticed something was wrong based on Kakashi's behavior.
"Kakashi, you are upset." Mu Yue said.
Armed color domineering is Yin Escape, which is related to mental strength. If the mental state is not good, practicing it will achieve twice the result with half the effort.
"I'm sorry, Teacher Muyue, my condition is a bit bad today. I will try my best to adjust it tomorrow." Kakashi said with an apology.
Muyue taught him so seriously, but he couldn't even concentrate on studying. Kakashi felt a little guilty.
"Go hard and remember to believe in yourself." Mu Yue said with a friendly smile.
"Thank you." Feeling the warm breath on Mu Yue's body, Kakashi felt a little relieved.
Since he was late during the day and there was no progress in his practice, Kakashi practiced more on himself at night, practicing breathing techniques in his yard, hoping to make up for it.
However, the training was still not going well, and Kakashi could never find that feeling.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Kakashi took a shower and went to bed to sleep.
As soon as he lay on the bed, Kakashi subconsciously thought of the accusations his father had suffered in the past and the disapproval of his teammates. Then he thought of Obito's words and Muyue's words.
The thoughts in his mind were very messy. At one moment, the ninja must abide by the rules and complete the mission even at the expense of his companions. At another moment, his companions were the most important thing and he had to protect their safety.
"Sleep, sleep..." Kakashi kept chanting the word sleep silently in his mind. He heard that this could be a way to treat insomnia, giving him hints and making him sleepy.
I don't know if the method didn't work or it was Kakashi's own fault, but he still didn't fall asleep. Then Kakashi looked at the time and saw that it was already two o'clock in the morning.
Sighing slightly, Kakashi tried his best to sleep again.
"late……"
When he woke up the next day, Kakashi saw the scorching sun outside and knew that he was late again today.
He quickly packed up and headed to the southern forest to start practicing.
"Kakashi, you are actually two and a half hours late again. You didn't stay up late at night practicing until early morning, right?" Obito looked at Kakashi suspiciously.
He suspected that Kakashi was secretly trying to trick him. A person like Kakashi could actually be late twice in a row, and he was late for so many hours.
"No." Kakashi replied succinctly with an expressionless face, and walked up to Muyue and began to explain.
"Teacher Muyue, I'm sorry, I had insomnia again last night." Kakashi explained.
Mu Yue asked with a concerned look on her face: "Is there anything wrong with your health? Why do you suddenly have insomnia?"
"Thank you, Teacher Muyue, for your concern. I am in good health." Kakashi felt warm in his heart and then shook his head and replied.
"As for insomnia, maybe it's because I've been thinking about too many things lately."
Muyue patted Kakashi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Your health is the most important thing. If you have anything to say to me, just tell me. Don't bother me. For teachers, there is no such thing as trouble for disciples."
Kakashi nodded slightly, feeling a little relieved.
Maybe the extra training last night had some effect. After practicing the breathing method this morning, I made some progress, but I still couldn't feel the armor and domineering force at all in the afternoon.
After practicing in the afternoon, Kakashi went to buy an alarm clock. He must not be late again tomorrow.
Kakashi didn't practice tonight. He finished washing at eight o'clock and went to bed.
Kakashi's idea is that since he goes to bed at eleven and can't fall asleep until three in the morning, then if he goes to bed at eight, he will fall asleep at twelve even if he doesn't fall asleep for four hours.
But when Kakashi lay on the bed, he found that he couldn't sleep without thinking about those things. Then he opened and closed his eyes in various ways, and couldn't help but think about various things in his mind.
This time, he was not only thinking about the relationship between the ninja missions, but Kakashi was also thinking about whether he should save his teammates or continue the mission if Metkai and Obito were in danger on the next mission.
Ding ding ding!
Kakashi heard a crisp sound while he was drowsy. Thinking of going to Muyue to practice, he suddenly woke up. It may be because he slept too little. Kakashi could feel the pain in his eyes just by opening his eyes.
sore.
Kakashi finished washing with his eyes closed, then finished his breakfast and quickly went to the southern forest to practice.
Kakashi was not late this time, and he was not the last to arrive.
"Hey, Kakashi, you're not late today." Obito was a little surprised when he saw Kakashi's figure when he arrived.
"Don't think of me as you." Kakashi said calmly.
"I'm late because I'm helping the old man. I won't be late because I went to bed late." Obito replied.
Although Kakashi was not late today, the lack of sleep caused Kakashi to be in poor spirits and his training effect was somewhat poor.
Mu Yue could see that Kakashi's autistic mood was getting a little serious again.
In fact, Mu Yue knew that Kakashi's problem had not been completely solved, but because he had a few friends here, and Mu Yue was a warm and caring teacher, and the heavy training tasks, Kakashi's problem was suppressed.
