Konoha's New Third Hokage

Just when Hatake Sakumo was thinking this, he suddenly said to Kazuya from behind: "The opponent has accelerated and will catch up soon."

Hatake Sakumo and Hattori Heizou turned around and saw three figures vaguely appearing in the distance. There was no doubt that the other party also spotted them at the same time.During the first exam, Hatake Sakumo noticed the red-haired boy in the lead, because he looked better and different from other ninjas in the village. In his heart, there was already someone worth noting. list of opponents.

"It looks like there's going to be a fight." Hattori Heizo.

"Ah, it's like this. Running is not an option. If the other party is in trouble, just fight back here." After Hatake Sakumo answered, he took out his short sword, adjusted it slightly, stepped on the side of the treetop with both feet, and then exerted force. Thunder chakra flows through the whole body, like a stream of light jumping out.

After seeing the shadow of the Konoha ninja, Liu planned to catch up. However, he did not expect that the other party would counterattack first and came towards him. His direction was not fixed, but he used zigzags between the trees at a very fast speed. When the trio recaptured Hatake Sakumo's shadow, the opponent was already close to them.

Too fast, this guy

Liu was shocked, but his movements were not slow. As the son of Chiyo, he had received strict training since then, and his vision and strength were very comparable to others.As a scroll fell out, the sealed puppet was released. The opponent's form was not fixed, but composed of parts, quickly surrounding the stream.

At this time, Hatake Sakumo's short sword came and slashed at the puppet that appeared at the edge of the stream in time. It looked like wood, but in fact the inside was fixed and filled with chakra metal. It would not be destroyed so easily. Moreover, The puppets used by Liu were the best in the Sunagakure ninja village, and even the most destructive thunder escape did not leave many scars.

Of course, the most important reason for this is that although Hatake Sakumo decided to end the relationship with the son of the teacher's past enemy, he had no intention of killing him. This knife was also aimed at the non-vital part of the opponent. As long as it hit In the middle, all the thunder chakra of the sword can paralyze the opponent's entire meridians, making him unable to move for a while.

Ryu noticed this, but did not accept the other party's kindness. In his opinion, it was a bit humiliating that both parties were ninjas and belonged to different ninja villages.His eyes suddenly turned cold when he looked at Hatake Sakumo. He felt that the other party might be looking at him, so he thought that he could be killed with this attack.

Hatake Sakumo looked a little at the Sunagakure ninja in front of him. This kind of reflexes is not something ordinary people can have. As long as he learns this method of thunder-type stimulating body cell activity, in terms of speed, few people can compare with the thunder-type ninja. Especially after he combined his family's sword skills with the ninja's fighting style, he formed a style of killing enemies with one blow, just like the Takigakure ninja who had his throat choked before he even had time to pull out his kunai.

The attack failed. Hatake Sakumo did not hesitate, but retreated immediately. At the same time, sharp wind bullets like steel wires blew across his cheeks.This was an attack from Neju. As Ryu's teammate, although he didn't have time to stop Hatake Sakumo's attack on Ryu, he could stop him from leaving. When Chizuru was about to take action, he left Hatake Sakumo behind. , Hatake Sakumo turned into a wooden pile

For those of them who are close in strength, the substitution technique has no effect on confusing people. However, Hatake Sakumo can use the lightning attribute to strengthen his jump to other places at the moment when his sight is blocked.Soon, Hatake Sakumo distanced himself from the trio of Sunagakure ninjas. He had no intention of using the long-distance thunder release ninjutsu. The opponent was the Sunagakure ninja. Wind Release had more long-range moves, which accounted for Not much cheaper.

"Don't even think about running away!" Liu yelled and waved his hand violently. The surrounding puppet parts quickly merged into one and turned into a humanoid puppet, chasing after Hatake Sakumo.

There was a hole in the puppet's body, and a large number of hidden weapons came out of it, blocking Hatake Sakumo's dodge space. No matter how fast Hatake Sakumo swung his sword, he could not block so many thin hidden weapons.However, Hatake Sakumo had no intention of blocking it. A whirlwind came in front of Hatake Sakumo and swept away the hidden weapon in one go.

Hattori Heizo took a breath, put down his seal hand, and looked at Hatake Sakumo who retreated to the side, "Really, don't rush out in a hurry. The enemy is the Sunagakure ninja after all, and it is not that easy to deal with."

"Well, maybe I'm too confident in my own strength." Hatake Sakumo reviewed his mistakes. Although those hidden weapons could not threaten him, they were indeed careless.

The Sunagakure trio landed on the treetops not far away. They did not stand together, but stood separately, maintaining a position where they could support each other and would not be implicated.He let the puppet float beside him and looked at Hatake Sakumo coldly: "Your name is Hatake Sakumo, what happened just now?"

Hatake Sakumo knew that the other party was asking why the knife was aimed at a non-vital point, and said, "I'm just trying not to kill anyone here, which may cause you some misunderstanding."

"I don't want to kill people, but I didn't expect Konoha ninjas to be so serious. We signed a life-and-death certificate and came here. We have blocked the realization of our lives." Liu didn't feel relieved at all. He still felt that the other party was looking down on him. Only he was stronger. Only the strong one can decide what to do with the loser.

"The exam is just an exam after all, not a battlefield, at least that's what I think." Hatake Sakumo said seriously.

From his teacher, Hatake Sakumo knew that the purpose of the Joint Chuunin Examination was to reduce the ninja war to this examination room, so he allowed sacrifice. However, Hatake Sakumo, who came from a samurai family, had other insistences. He believes in the "righteousness" upheld by ancient warriors and is willing to fight for "righteousness", while he rejects "unjust" things.

Today, these ancient traditional morals have been abandoned by warriors, and only warriors in exile in the Iron Country will abide by these principles. Hatake Sakumo had no concept of these before, and only started to pick up these ordinary morals out of longing. The samurai is regarded as an outdated moral spirit.

After learning the principles of ninja, Hatake Sakumo hesitated for a while, whether he could give up what he upheld and become a real ninja in people's mouth.And after worshiping Feng Mori Masaki as a teacher and reading the Ninja classics, he seemed to be awakened. What he upholds is no longer the traditional "righteousness", but the Ninzong Sutra annotated by Feng Mori Masaki Yoshitoshi's thoughts are combined with the new principles, and he believes that the ninja future imagined by Feng Mori Masaki is the right way.

In Hatake Sakumo's view, the Joint Chuunin Exam should not be like this. It should be the same as the concept upheld by the Six Paths Sage, which is to promote communication and bonds between people, and is also a place to train ninja abilities. , rather than the so-called shrinking shinobi war.He once asked Masahiro Fengsen why he wanted to conduct such an exam. Masahiro Fengsen was a helpless move and a transitional stage that he had to go through to move towards a better future. Nothing could be accomplished overnight.

Hatake Sakumo can understand, but he is also stubborn when he is young. Even if he knows that this is not an immediate goal, he doesn't want to go directly into it. At least, before he has no other choice, he just wants to treat this as a goal. A common test.

"Hmph, I don't know what you are thinking." Liu snorted softly, "Come to think of it, those three Takigakure ninjas were the ones we were targeting, but you stopped them midway. Don't you want nothing?"

So that's the case, Hatake Sakumo thought, no wonder Takigakure Ninja looked frightened, it turns out that someone has been chasing them.

"I thought you wanted something, but it turns out it's just this. It's in the rules. As long as you are targeted, it will be yours." Hattori Heizo said sarcastically.

Indeed, there is no such word in the rules, Liu is just accustomed to treating the things he is eyeing as belonging to him, and naturally he will not admit this, "It seems that you are not planning to hand over the scroll, Then we have to get it ourselves.”

"If you want it, come and get it if you have the ability." Hattori Heizo had no intention of backing down. He said coldly, all his muscles tensed up, ready to take action at any time.
