Konoha's task master

Friday.

After breakfast, Yakumo went out for a morning jog and "just in time" met Masako Mori who was about to go out. The two started exercising together.

"Yakumo, you seem to have become a little different."

"What's different?" Yakumo's heart tightened.

Sure enough, the original owner's childhood sweetheart had noticed the clues? Yakumo began to think quickly in his mind about how to...defend.

Yakumo walked through the crowd with an expressionless face, but in his heart he was wondering where the clue was.

Because he recently refused to train with her, or because of his recent attitude towards her? Or is it because he has recently paid more attention to Yuhi Kurenai?

"Your temperament today is different from yesterday." Masako Mori thought for a while and then said.

"Becoming very sharp, just like Kakashi-san."

"Maybe it's because I have made some breakthroughs in my sword skills recently. As you know, I have been practicing my sword skills during this period." Yakumo explained, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

So that's it, he almost thought about where to bury him after silencing him...

"But haven't you only practiced sword skills for four days?" Masako Mori continued to ask.

"Maybe I am a swordsman genius." Yakumo laughed and then asked.

"Can others see the change in my temperament?"

"What kind of genius are you? A genius who has never won a fight since you were a child?" Masako Mori rolled her eyes.

"As for others, they probably won't care about your changes at all."

"That's good."

Today's incident was a reminder to him. As he continues to practice his sword skills, his temperament will become more and more sharp.

If he wants to continue to hide his weakness and be a little transparent, he must solve this problem. After all, as the amount of chakra increases, it will become more difficult to hide himself.

The massive amount of chakra in sensory ninjutsu is as conspicuous as a beacon watching in the dark.

"It would be great if there was a ninjutsu that could hide oneself..."

Yakumo sighed in a low voice, secretly deciding to be more cautious in improving his strength in the future.

Masako Mori's eyes moved rapidly when she heard Yakumo sighing, and after a moment she seemed to have made some kind of determination.

"Our family happens to have a ninjutsu to hide yourself. I will take it out for you to practice tonight."

"How come your family has this kind of ninjutsu?" Yakumo asked after hearing this and did not agree immediately.

"A few years ago, my dad got the secret book from the Mist Ninja assassin on the battlefield. After successful practice, it can change personal temperament, appearance, chakra fluctuations, etc."

"That's not good. How about I trade my family's secret ninjutsu and water bombs with you?"

"You're not talking about the jutsu that Uncle Jing used to water the flowers, are you? Don't you know... that ninjutsu has no offensive power at all, and its greatest use is to water the flowers?"

Yakumo was stunned, there must be some misunderstanding here.

"Haha, no way, no way, you really don't know?" Suddenly the girl let out a silver bell-like laughter, and the surroundings of the two were filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

"Okay, okay, stop laughing, I want to be quiet!"

Obviously... that notebook says it's very powerful, but why can it only be used to water flowers when it's in dad's hands?

A few days ago, he tried the power of water bombs, which had enough impact to knock an adult away.

Could it be that...Dad, he didn’t understand?

Yakumo began to look forward to how stunned Mori Masako would be when she truly saw the power of water bombs.

Afternoon, free training session.

Yakumo found a seat and was about to watch Kaka practice his sword skills, but unexpectedly the other party walked straight over.

Those who come are not good.

"You've been peeking for four days, are you learning sword skills?"

Kakashi asked directly, Yakumo was slightly stunned, this was too direct...

The murderous intention is awe-inspiring.

It felt like if his answer failed to convince Kakashi, he would draw his sword at him the next moment.

It is taboo to secretly learn other people's inheritance in Konoha Hidden Village. You must not admit it at this time...even if you are beaten to death, you cannot admit it.

Behind Yakumo, Masako Mori clenched her fists subconsciously, as if she was ready to take action at any time.

"This is a very serious accusation. I didn't peek at your practice, I was just reading." Yakumo raised the book on his lap and said to Kakashi.

"You lied." Kakashi replied, his eyes under the silvery white hair were emotionless, as if he were looking at a dead person.

"Are you going to take action?" Yakumo secretly thought, as if any explanation became pale and powerless under that death-like gaze.

"If you want to learn, I'll teach you."

Kakashi was as concise and concise as ever, but the content caught Runyu off guard.

"Why do you think I want to learn sword skills?"

"You long to become stronger, this is an opportunity."

Kakashi continued with a hint of meaning.

"I heard about your story. Someone robbed you of your homework... I think you want to fight it back with your own hands, right?"

"Is it out of mercy for the weak from the strong?" Yakumo suddenly became a little silent. This may also be a trap for Kakashi to admit that he had secretly learned sword skills.

"Probably not..." Yakumo quickly denied.

Kakashi is still a very decent person, which has a lot to do with the education of his father Sakumo Hatake.

"Shouldn't that kind of sword skill be secret?"

"Why do you want to teach me?"

Yakumo kept asking questions and gradually became excited.

The so-called secret tradition is the core power inheritance of the Ninja clan. It is the foundation of the Ninja clan's strength. Naturally, it will not be allowed to be learned by outsiders.

"Hatake Secret Technique is divided into moves, breathing, steps, and chakra mode. The former is just a move, it's not a big deal. Only the chakra mode is the foundation. The other three are just more subtle moves."

What Yakumo didn't know was that when White Fang became famous, his fighting style had been studied very thoroughly. His moves, steps, and even breathing were no longer secrets.

"Isn't it normal for classmates to help each other?"

"Then I'll learn..." Yakumo no longer hesitated.

There were only two days left before the mission deadline. He could not give up this opportunity no matter what. Even if he had to bear a certain risk, he decided to take a gamble.

"Take your knife and follow me..."

"I didn't bring it."

"Didn't your sword master tell you that in order to develop your knife skills, you must keep the knife away from your body at all times?"

"Forget it, I have exactly two..."

"I don't have a teacher." Yakumo explained.

Kakashi's eyes flashed with surprise. He was surprised that Yakumo had such a solid foundation, since he had to explore it all by himself.

"You must have been practicing swordsmanship for a long time, right?"

"how do you know."

"Those hands of yours..."

Yakumo spread his hands, looked at the calluses he had developed over the past few days, and nodded silently.

"That's right, it's been a long time..."

His father once said that he was a once-in-a-century swordsman genius in the Hatake family. At this moment, Kakashi suddenly felt that... Yakumo-san's talent may not be weaker than his own!

"Shocked, Yakumo actually lied to others without changing his expression!"

Masako Mori unclenched her clenched fists and stared closely at the back of her "childhood sweetheart", as if she was meeting him for the first time.
