And the protagonist Noah has to face the whole world without ever backing down, but he just kneels down like this... and waits to die?
Konoha Village has not been saved yet, and his friends are still living there and may be sacrificed as a tool at any time.
What I want to do has just begun, how can I give in like this? ! !
The unwillingness and anger seemed so insignificant in the huge fear, but it was this insignificant unwillingness that made him clench the short blade in his hand.
Although it was a pity that I encountered such a disaster just when I wanted to save Konoha, but that's life.
Chapter 123: A mere hell can't stop me
So many people die on the way to realizing their dreams, why can't I die?
Time was stretched out bit by bit, and he recalled countless things and everything in the past when the sword tip fell.
I really want to see the rot in Konoha ignite...Father, Sensei, Obito, Rin, here I come.
Blood gushed out and he died.
The sword split the middle of his chest and blood gushed out like a waterfall.
“Well done. There was once a very good swordsman who said in his youth that being stabbed in the back was a shame for a swordsman.
So when he was still young and faced an invincible enemy, he still took the initiative to fight, and after being defeated, he calmly exposed his chest to let the opponent chop it off.
You already have some of the courage here."
The voice brought Kakashi back from the illusion of death.
If the illusion just now lasted for a long time, it would really die.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a bright sky and the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers.
The giant sword that towered into the sky and the knife wounds on his body disappeared as if it were an illusion.
"It's just a simple use of killing intent. Ordinary people will have hallucinations under the killing aura of a strong man. The same principle is applied to me."
Kakashi...
Although this is true, but...isn't that a method that only top masters can use when facing inexperienced Genin?
But in front of the opponent, I might not even be considered a Genin.
Besides, it’s really good to be alive.
Kakashi, who had been killed by sword energy once, had a deeper feeling for everything in the world. The breath of nature, the touch of the sword, etc. were all different from before.
At the same time, his inner thoughts are purer. If he only has one life, he wants to give everything for the thing in his heart, and his belief of never regretting it is even stronger.
After calming down, Kakashi's brain started working, and his ninja instinct began to wonder why the other party appeared here, and he couldn't tell whether he was an enemy or a friend.
This is the second time the other party suddenly appears and disappears without any information, and he also finds me. Is there any special connection between them?
The appearance of such a big shot must have a purpose and he would not just be passing by. The other party also saw me fighting.
"Don't think too much. A friend recommended me a person who is a very good kendo talent. He asked me to test him. From what I can see, he is quite talented."
Friends please?
Kakashi thought about it and realized that no one in Konoha Village met this condition.
The teacher and his wife probably don't know each other. Even the Fourth Generation and his wife had told him that Jiraiya was accepting a disciple in the Land of Rain. They would not have kept such a great master secret.
It is even more impossible for the Third Hokage and others. As long as they can get in touch with anyone, they will use it as a weapon of deterrence. Now the unrest in the Land of Lightning has tied up a lot of Konoha's energy, and Kakashi also knows this.
Friend, and knowing that the destination is the Snow Country, is Adam.
Recalling what Adam had said about himself once having some strength, he believed it.
"I will teach you a little bit about swordsmanship along the way. The ugly swordsmanship you are using now is really uncomfortable for me."
"Don't think about paying a price or getting paid. You can't give me what I want. I can teach you only because I have some courage and a little talent."
"Of course, it's also possible that I'm just bored and want to find a kid to torture."
"The Snow Country, right? As long as you don't die before you reach the Snow Country, I can really teach you a few moves."
Kakashi's pupils shrank. What does immortality mean?
"Touch the wound on your chest."
What wound? Isn't it already...hiss~~~
"You see, my sword will still remain in your mind. When your will can no longer bear it, you will die spiritually."
"This is a method of application that I discovered recently. It's quite interesting."
……
This means that he cannot relax for even a moment along the way. Kakashi doesn't think he can withstand such kendo attacks many times.
The other party's confident tone showed that death was just the result of a certain sword.
He has more important things to do, so... he can't afford to gamble.
As for lying, it is useless. That kind of power that can strike the soul cannot be concealed at all.
My mind was full of thoughts. On one side was the pinnacle of swordsmanship, and on the other side was the ideal that ignited my heart...
Perhaps I had the answer at the moment of my death.
"Mr. Sosuke, can I not learn kendo?"
"Oh, that's right... eh?"
?! Kakashi has such a unique personality?!
Sword energy emerged in the void, and countless tiny sharp auras swept across everything around.
"The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox is only as good as one of my swords. The pinnacle of swordsmanship in this world is just before your eyes. Are you going to give up?"
"Those who are not sincere to the sword cannot gain great strength."
"Give me a reason, or you will die here now."
Noah was really confused. According to the procedure, the young man should have accepted the task of becoming his apprentice with great enthusiasm, and then continued to surpass his limits between life and death during the journey, and finally became his disciple in the Snow Kingdom.
All my previous disciples followed this process...it seems like none of them followed this process. Was I too careless?
Kakashi took a deep breath. He knew that the price or favor Adam had to pay to hire such a master was extremely huge.
I also know that this opportunity is what everyone in the ninja world dreams of.
In the past, he would have given up everything in pursuit of power, just to become a strong man without constraints.
But... he can't die. He is willing to die at any time when his dream is fulfilled or when this ideal is spread, but not now!
"In fact, I admire the power I gained that night very much. I even started practicing sword again because I wanted to become a swordsman as strong as you."
But!!! Strength is only a help to achieve my goal, not my ultimate pursuit. This is true for Ninjutsu, Kendo, and Sharingan."
After saying this, Kakashi looked directly into the swordsman's eyes and said fearlessly that he didn't want to die, which was not in line with the definition of a ninja.
It is clearly a cowardly choice, but the perseverance and courage within it are shining.
Noah was a little dazed. Even the power to split mountains and seas and shoot down the fox demon couldn't shake his heart?
……
In the year 1503 of the Haiyuan calendar, in the Donghai Shuangyue Dojo.
"Master Koshiro, I understand that strength is only a help to achieve my goal, not my ultimate pursuit, so whether it is Taijutsu, Kendo, or Haki, I..."
Time overlaps, and in order to gain the power to fight against the World Government, he frankly speaks his mind to Koshiro.
But if Koshiro had used the same threatening tone and measured life and death, I would have changed my goal of study.
The ultimate goal is to survive and burn the world.
And the child also spoke his mind. Rejection is for a greater purpose.
“Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha…”
Noah laughed wildly, with genuine joy.
He really, really, really admired the reborn Kakashi. This was not the first surprise for him.
"It's too late, you must be my disciple!"
"Hatake Kakashi! Are you willing to take power from hell as long as you don't die!!!"
Kakashi looked up with surprise in his eyes, and the arrogance in his eyes was not concealed at all.
"Just hell! It can't stop me!"
Chapter 124 The Essence of Our Shimokatsuki Swordsmanship...
In the country of birds.
Kakashi was following the footsteps of a tall man and moving slowly forward.
Until now, I still don't understand why my offensive words made this strong man so happy and he insisted on taking me as his disciple.
Although we already have Minato Sensei, it is not a bad idea to have another one in the ninja world.
"The era of the samurai has long passed. Now belongs to the era of the ninja."
The first sentence made Kakashi a little stunned. What the swordsman teacher said was completely different from what he thought.
"After the Six Paths Sage founded the Ninja Clan, all subsequent techniques, including sword techniques, illusion techniques, and ninjutsu can be classified into this category.
In other words, chakra has become the foundation of all systems, and the threshold of local fairy arts is particularly high, so in the following practice of kendo you must also combine it with chakra.
At present, the strongest people in this world are still those who have achieved bloodline limits, or those who have achieved bloodline attribution.
The older, the more powerful. This is a very scientific yet helpless way of evolution.
Uchiha, Senju, Kaguya, Hyuga, and Uzumaki are all outstanding among them. Except that their spirits will be slightly affected, they are all good.
Perhaps there is a flash in the pan genius who creates a secondary bloodline limit or secret technique. Secret techniques and secondary bloodlines can still be passed down from generation to generation in a family, such as Pig, Deer and Butterfly.
Unfortunately, your physical fitness and chakra amount are both of the average type.
This is why the Hatake family has always been a family that relies on swordsmanship. With a sharp blade in hand and the changes in the nature of chakra attributes, they can naturally carve out a niche for themselves on a regular battlefield."
The teacher was talking about the history of the ninja world? But why was his tone filled with disdain?
"But when your target is not just the ordinary jonin on the battlefield, you will know that the barrier has already been built.
Relying on your previous sword skills is no longer effective. Those enemies may have strong recovery abilities, and the wound will heal as soon as you pull out the sword.
Some people have extremely strong body defenses, allowing you to slash at them without even a scratch on their skin. There are also some ninjas whose body defenses cannot be broken even by S-level ninjutsu that has practiced attribute changes to the extreme.
There are enemies who are proficient in time and space, and your sword can only be swung in the air like a stick.
There are more likely to be myths and legends about immortal beings that live for thousands of years, and monsters that are between life and death and are watching everything.
This is the kind of strong person you are more likely to encounter as you advance in the way of the sword.
Don't ever think that the powerful people who emerged during the three Ninja World Wars are all that exists in the Ninja World. You have never seen the real hidden side of it."
Kakashi nodded. The words of this kendo teacher completely opened his eyes.
It turns out that there are so many terrifying and strange enemies in this world, and it seems that relying solely on one's swordsmanship is indeed insignificant.
At this time, Kakashi asked a question for some unknown reason.
"Teacher, is our Konoha's Third Hokage the strongest one?"
The title of the strongest Hokage has been around for decades and still carries a lot of weight in the hearts of the people of Konoha.
It’s just that he really didn’t perform very well in the battle on the night of the Nine-Tails, so Kakashi would naturally have doubts.
"Sarutobi Hiruzen... in his prime he was one of the strongest among regular ninjas."
Noah would not deliberately belittle this point, nor did he want Kakashi to become arrogant.
The Third Hokage was a master of ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu, as well as sealing techniques and forbidden techniques.
The amount of chakra he possesses is also astonishing. He can even master a skill like the Great Dan Jutsu that consumes so much chakra, which shows that he is really good.
