Naruto: Starting Reward Seventh Generation

Chapter 25 Are swords such inconvenient things?
Minato Namikaze did not hide his praise for Kakashi Hatake.

Hearing these words, Kakashi Hatake was also somewhat happy, but his mask successfully concealed his joy, and one could only see the joy in his eyes through his eyes.

But at this moment, Minato Namikaze changed his tone.

"Your strength is already comparable to that of a newly graduated Genin."

"But your shortcomings are equally obvious."

"You don't have enough strength." Minato Namikaze said, picking up his wooden sword and weighing it in his hand.

"Sakumo-senpai's swordsmanship is very strong."

"But you are a little too obsessed."

"Perhaps because you have always used a wooden sword, your sword skills are very light."

When Hatake Kakashi heard this, he was very dissatisfied.

When he swings his sword, it can create wind, how can it be light!
Namikaze Minato said as he handed the wooden sword back to Hatake Kakashi.

"But then again, you are still young now. When you are strong enough in the future, this shortcoming of yours will be gone."

"But it's still not close. I would rate your ability as that of a recently graduated genin."

Minato Namikaze said this and looked at Yuuki Yuichi who was standing silently by the side.

He didn't expect the strength that Yuichi Yuuki just displayed.

Especially those scarlet magatama Sharingan.

He was not curious when Yuuki Yuichi showed his Magatama Sharingan.

Thanks to Uzumaki Kushina, he also knew that Yuuki Yuichi had Uchiha blood.

What he didn't expect was that Yuuki Yuichi had opened the Sharingan so early.

Thinking of this, Minato Namikaze looked at him with pity and sympathy before he even opened his mouth.

The opening of the Sharingan requires strong emotional stimulation.

Even though Yuhi Shinku-senpai adopted the child, he must have suffered a lot.

Minato Namikaze thought about it and looked at Yuichi Yuuki with even more sympathy.

Seeing him staring at him without saying anything, Yuuki Yuichi frowned, "Brother Minato, why are you staring at me?"

Hearing this, Namikaze Minato did not answer, but looked at him and asked, "You must have had a hard time and are very tired these years, right?"

Yuuki Yuichi: “???”

what are you talking about?

Yuuki Yuichi understood what was going on from Minato Namikaze's appearance.

This is like seeing your own Sharingan, and then imagining that you have suffered a lot.

After pondering for a moment, Yuichi Yuuki looked at Minato Namikaze and asked cautiously: "Is there a possibility that I didn't suffer?"

"I understand." Namikaze Minato nodded. Thinking that he was trying to save his self-esteem and the stubbornness of a young boy, he did not refute but nodded in agreement.

Seeing his appearance, Yuuki Yuichi couldn't hold back.

If possible, he would like to continue speaking along the lines of Minato Namikaze's words, so that he could gain Minato Namikaze's sympathy and compassion and get more help.

But he opened his eyes in full view of everyone, and he had no intention of hiding it, there was no need!

With the existence of Yuhi Shinku, he doesn't need to worry about so-called resources or ninjutsu at all.

What's more, he also has an achievement system, so he doesn't need ninjutsu at all.

Kakashi Hatake was watching him from the side, with the same expression as Minato Namikaze.

He knew the major ninja clans in Konoha and their characteristics.

Seeing the two people's appearance, Yuuki Yuichi sighed and said weakly, "I really don't find it exciting."

"I ran into Uchiha Obito at the training ground yesterday and found that this guy wanted to open his eyes through eye drops."

"I just wanted to give it a try, so I borrowed his eye drops and tried them, and then my eyes opened." "It was really not painful or exciting at all."

Hearing this, Hatake Kakashi looked at Yuichi Yuuki thoughtfully.

It turns out that eye drops can open the Uchiha's eyes.

Unlike Hatake Kakashi, Namikaze Minato knew the difficulty of opening the Uchiha eyes.

After hearing his words, I was silent for a moment. Then I thought about my previous thoughts and actions, and suddenly I didn’t know what to say.

As for whether Yuichi Yuuki had deceived him, he believed that Yuichi Yuuki had not deceived him, and he believed even more in his own ninja's insight.

Yuuki Yuichi's expression and movements just now didn't seem like he was lying.

And what he said was easy to verify.

No one among the three of them spoke for a while, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

After a long while, Namikaze Minato coughed lightly, feeling that the current atmosphere was not right, and immediately said: "In this case, let's continue to talk about your strength."

Upon hearing this, Yuuki Yuichi and Hatake Kakashi sat up straighter.

Especially Hatake Kakashi, although Namikaze Minato talked about his level of strength, he wanted to know more about Yuichi Yuuki's situation.

This way, he would be able to seize his weakness in the next battle.

Namikaze Minato saw the two's actions, smiled with satisfaction, and said: "Your strength is above Kakashi."

"But you don't know how to use a knife. Can you tell me why you want to use a knife?"

Minato Namikaze's words were gentle, without any blame or rebuke, and seemed to be out of pure curiosity.

He naturally knew that Yuichi Yuuki only used the knife as bait, but he wanted to hear Yuichi Yuuki's attitude towards swordsmanship.

This gives us a glimpse of the whole picture.

Yuichi Yuuki heard this and said without caring, "I really don't need to use a knife."

"But isn't the purpose of a sword to give you greater power?"

"So it makes sense for me to use the wooden sword as bait and suddenly give up on casting the illusion."

Before Minato Namikaze could make any move, Kakashi Hatake beside him heard these words and glared at Yuichi Yuuki.

Hatake Kakashi was taught the Hatake swordsmanship by Hatake Sakumo since he was a child. Hatake Kakashi is not the same person whose father was killed by rumors. Now he has a sincere love for swords.

"If you don't have feelings for swords, you won't achieve anything!"

Glancing at Kakashi Hatake, Yuuki Yuichi snorted twice.

"How can a sword be such an inconvenient thing?"

"You!" Kakashi Hatake pointed at him and was speechless for a moment.

Minato Namikaze looked at the two of them and smiled. This is youth.

After stopping the two, he continued, "Your idea is actually not wrong."

"When fighting, you must learn to use everything around you that can be used."

"You did a great job on that."

"However, your moves are too straightforward." Namikaze Minato said, standing up and signaling Yuuki Yuichi to stand up as well.

Using his own movements, he led Yuuki Yuichi to review the situation of their first fight, and then Minato Namikaze continued: "If I hadn't shown mercy at the beginning, you might have been seriously injured."

"When fighting, you must learn to use your own and the opponent's intelligence and strengths and weaknesses."

"For example, the second time you came over with a knife, you took advantage of my underestimation of me and the information gap between your Sharingan and illusion techniques."

“That’s a very good thing.”

"Your current strength and ability to utilize items and intelligence are stronger than many Genin."

Namikaze Minato said this, and looked at the two of them with a bright smile, "So, to celebrate our acquaintance, I will treat you two to ramen!"
