On the night of the Nine-Tails, I shattered the Tailed Beast Ball with a single punch.

At that moment, Yanshui's voice, tinged with apology and a hint of embarrassment, rang out.

"Um, Kakashi, sorry, I threw the kunai myself, intending to attack Captain Nagasawa."

Kakashi: ? ? ?

What's that? Before even getting hit by Yongze's stick, he got hit by a kunai from his teammate first.

Nagasawa, barely suppressing a laugh, pulled the kunai from Kakashi's leg, then used Healing Palm Technique to treat it before speaking:

"You must be cautious in your attacks; do not act unless you are confident of success."

Because you are so close, it's very easy to attack each other; otherwise, things would have turned out like what happened just now.

"Salt water, don't throw it at me! Throw it at Kakashi! He's a Jonin, stronger than me!" Inuzuka Midori said with a terrified expression.

Kakashi: !!!

It's an insult to say that he's physically stronger than Inuzuka Midori, even though he's a Jonin. Inuzuka Midori is a taijutsu specialist.

Upon hearing Inuzuka Midori's words, Salt Water scratched her head somewhat awkwardly and said, "Sorry, I won't attack so easily next time."

At that moment, he wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground, feeling that the Nara family's illustrious reputation had been completely ruined.

Seeing Yanshui's embarrassed look, Yongze laughed unkindly.

Salt Water usually acts like a wise man, but today it finally broke its composure.

Two minutes later, Yongze did not attack any of the three, but instead deliberately made the sound of moving footsteps.

Kakashi immediately felt immense pressure, and didn't move his body to adjust his posture, fearing that Nagasawa would suddenly appear from behind and strike him with a club.

He knew in his heart that Inuzuka Midori and Salt Water had both been hit, and Inuzuka Midori had even been hit three times. No matter what, it was his turn. He had to face what he had to face.

Kakashi focused entirely on sensing his surroundings, trying to pinpoint Nagasawa's location.

In fact, it might be more difficult for him to practice Observation Haki than for ordinary people because he has the Sharingan, which has such good eyesight that it is difficult for him to use aura to perceive things, since he can see directly with his eyes.

call!

Suddenly, Kakashi sensed a change in the air.

Chapter Thirty-Five: The Essence of Humanity

Suddenly, Kakashi sensed a change in the air.

Almost instantly, Kakashi crouched down.

Nagasawa liked to tap heads, especially from behind. Kakashi thought his squatting move was a stroke of genius.

Even if you can't dodge all of them, you should be able to dodge the first blow.

Then Inuzuka Midori's screams reached his ears.

"Why me again? This isn't fair!!"

It was as if a flock of black crows had flown across the sky, leaving behind a string of ellipses.

Kakashi stood up nonchalantly, pretending that nothing had happened.

He thought to himself that since everyone was blindfolded and Nagasawa was hitting Inuzuka Midori, no one should notice.

But what Nagasawa said next made Kakashi freeze.

"Why are you crouching down when I'm hitting Kakashi?" Nagasawa asked Kakashi with amusement.

The mask and black cloth perfectly covered Kakashi's face, making it impossible for others to see his expression. Kakashi forced himself to remain calm and said nonchalantly:

"My legs are a little sore from standing for so long, so I'm squatting down to relieve the pain."

"Oh, really?" Nagasawa looked at Kakashi with a smile.

"Yes..." Kakashi was about to continue his forced explanation when he suddenly noticed a vibration in the air.

But the moment he felt it, the pain in his head told him that he had failed to dodge.

"Even when you're talking, keep your senses fully activated," Nagasawa said quietly, then deliberately walked around the three of them, creating loud footsteps to create a sense of pressure.

Happy times of cultivation always fly by. Soon, a morning had passed, and it was noon.

Although it was noon, the time when the sun was at its strongest, the three of them felt no warmth at all. Every time Yongze made a sound, they would subconsciously shiver, as if the air temperature dropped several degrees with every step Yongze took.

Yongze didn't blame them; no one would feel good after being beaten all morning.

Let alone attacking Yongze, no one managed to dodge a single attack from him all morning; they were all left with bruises and swelling from being hit by his stick.

Looking at the sky, and feeling that it was about time, Yongze smiled and said, "Let's call it a day for this morning's perception training."

"Can we eat now?" Inuzuka Midori asked, touching her swollen face and clinging to a sliver of hope.

To be honest, she had never been beaten so badly in her life. She was beaten for a whole morning and just had to take the beating.

The only thing that might sustain her belief was a delicious lunch.

Nagasawa asked with a smile, "Did you hit me, Midori?"

Inuzuka Midori shook her head.

Nagasawa continued, "So, Green, did you successfully dodge all three of my attacks?"

Inuzuka Midori hesitated for a moment, preparing to nod against her conscience, but seeing Nagasawa's smiling eyes, she could only hang her head dejectedly and say, "No..."

If you nod, Nagasawa will definitely seize the opportunity to tease you.

"Then you can only watch me eat." Amidst laughter and cheerful chatter, Yongze took out a lunchbox, opened it, and revealed fragrant dumplings inside.

"What's so great about it? A person in their mid-twenties still eating dumplings every day, what a child who never grows up," Inuzuka Midori said dismissively, as if she were a mature adult.

Then, Kakashi stepped forward and said calmly, "Midori doesn't want to eat, but I do. Thinking about it carefully, dango is still quite delicious."

"Good taste," Nagasawa said, giving a thumbs up, then handed a portion of dumplings to Kakashi.

Seeing this, Yanshui immediately realized something and said, "Actually, I also quite like eating dumplings."

Yongze also gave a portion of the saline solution.

Inuzuka Midori was stunned and stammered, "No...no...didn't you say we weren't allowed to eat?"

Kakashi said in a serious tone, "But I ate dumplings."

Inuzuka Midori's eyes widened, as if a pack of ninja dogs were running through her mind. This is acceptable!

Inuzuka Midori coughed twice, looked up at the sky, kicked at the pebbles on the ground, and said, "Um, Nagasawa-san, actually I quite like eating dango too."

Nagasawa feigned surprise and said, "But didn't you just say that only children like to eat dumplings? Midori, you're fifteen years old now, you're not a child anymore."

"That's just my appearance. Actually, I have a childlike heart, so I'm kind of a kid myself." Inuzuka Midori resolutely chose to lie in order to get a meal.

Seeing Inuzuka Midori's face change instantly, Nagasawa sighed that the true nature of humans is indeed "it smells so good," and stopped teasing her, giving her the food instead.

After finishing lunch, Nagasawa began teaching the shaving and paper-cutting technique from the Three-Person Six Styles.

The reason for choosing these two is that shaving is the simplest and most practical of the six techniques, while paper drawing is because it is helpful for cultivating the senses of sight and hearing.

He will teach the six techniques to the three of them step by step to build a new secret service. He can't rely on himself alone. He can teach the three of them and then let them teach others.

Nagasawa personally explained the techniques of shaving and finger drawing. Even Kakashi, who had already mastered the basics of shaving, did not become arrogant. He listened attentively to Nagasawa's explanation and then analyzed it with his Sharingan.

……

……

After training ended at four o'clock in the afternoon, Kakashi dragged his tired body toward the small hotel where Uzumaki Karin was staying.

Yongze said, "You brought these people here, so you have to handle everything yourself."

Today he has to take Hua Ling to register her household so that she can truly join Konoha.

As Kakashi was walking down the street, he suddenly sensed a slow current of air and instinctively dodged it.

It turned out that Kai was standing behind him, and the slow airflow was because Kai was just about to pat him on the shoulder.

'If only Nagasawa-sensei's attacks were this slow,' Kakashi thought, though the stick still stung when it hit his face.

Although he still called Nagasawa "Class Monitor," he already regarded Nagasawa as a teacher or something similar in his heart.

"Kakashi... Kakashi, what happened to you? Did someone beat you up?" Might Guy asked, his mouth agape in surprise.

Although the mask was covering him, Might Guy knew Kakashi all too well and could tell at a glance that Kakashi's face was swollen from being beaten and that there were blue marks around his eyes.

Kakashi thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "He tripped while walking."

Then they left directly.

Kakashi certainly wouldn't tell Might Guy about the embarrassing thing that he'd been beaten up all morning.

"Hey Kakashi, tell me which path it is, I want to challenge it. I can't believe I managed to throw you down like that, your face is all bruised and swollen," Might Guy pressed.

Kakashi's face darkened. He used the crowd to shake off Might Guy and went to the small hotel where Hana was.

Having found the room, Kakashi politely knocked on the door and said, "It's me, Kakashi."

Chapter Thirty-Six: The more you try not to be discovered, the more likely you are to be discovered.

Hua Ling acted quickly, opening the door without keeping Kakashi waiting.

When Hana saw Kakashi with a bruised and swollen face, she was slightly taken aback, but quickly regained her composure and beckoned Kakashi to come in.

"Ninja-sama, what is this?" Hua Ling thought for a moment, and finally asked.

"I got lost on the road of life, then I tripped and fell, and that's how it is," Kakashi said calmly.

Hua Ling's expression was somewhat strange: "Your fall was quite serious."

Hua Ling hesitated for a moment, then finally rolled up her sleeves, revealing her fair, lotus-root-like arms. Turning her head away, she pursed her lips and said:

"Bite it, and it will heal."

This scene made Kakashi feel as if he had returned to the moment when he first met Hana Rin. He remembered Hana Rin's distorted face when she was bitten.

This is a normal woman who is afraid of pain.

Kakashi sighed: "No need, it will hurt you a lot."

"If it were you, you could take a light bite once, only once," Hua Ling said casually.
