Konoha’s New Third Hokage

Just when Hatake Sakumo thought so, Hinata Kazuya behind him suddenly said: "The other party is speeding up, and he will catch up soon!"

When Hatake Sakumo and Hattori Heizo turned their heads, they both saw three figures faintly appearing in the distance. There is 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 than other ninjas in Ninja Village. In his heart, there was already a noteworthy list of opponents.

"It looks like there is going to be a fight." Hattori Heizo said.

"Ah, it's like this, running is not the way, the opponent is quite troublesome, so just fight back here." After Hatake Sakumo replied, he drew out his dagger, slightly adjusted his body shape, stepped on the side of the treetop with both feet, and then shot Strength, thunder attribute chakra flows through the whole body, like a streamer leaping out.

After seeing the figure of Konoha Ninja, Liu planned to catch up. However, he didn't expect that the opponent counterattacked first and came towards his own side. His direction was not fixed, but he used the twists and turns between the trees, and his speed was very fast. When the trio recaptured Hatake Sakumo's figure, the other party was already close to them.

—too fast, this guy...

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

At this time, Hatake Sakumo's short knife came and cut on the puppet who appeared beside Ryu in time. It looked like it was made of wood, but it was actually fixed and filled with chakra metal inside, so it would not be destroyed so easily. Moreover, The puppets Liu used were all excellent in Sand Yin Ninja Village, and even the most destructive Thunder Dun didn't leave much scars.

Of course, the most important reason for this is that although Sakumo Hatake decided to make a break with the son of the old enemy of the teacher, he had no intention of killing the other party. Among them, all the thunder attribute chakras on the blade can paralyze the meridians of the opponent's whole body, and they will not be able to move for a while.

Liu noticed this, but did not accept the other party's kindness. In his opinion, it was a bit humiliating for both parties to be ninjas, or to belong to different ninja villages. He looked at Sakumo Hatake's gaze suddenly turned cold. He felt that the other party might be underestimating him, and that's why he thought that this kind of attack could get rid of him.

Hatake Sakumo underestimated the sand ninja in front of him. This kind of reaction is not something that ordinary people can have. As long as he learns this method of stimulating the activity of the body cells with the thunder attribute, in terms of speed, few people can compare with the thunder attribute ninja. , especially after he combined his family swordsmanship with the ninja's fighting style, he formed a style of killing the enemy with one blow, just like the Takigakure ninja who was forced to grab his throat before he couldn't even draw out the kunai.

The blow was unsuccessful, Hatake Sakumo was not stunned by it, but retreated decisively, at the same time, a sharp wind bullet like a steel wire scraped across his cheek. This was an attack from Yin Shige. As Liu's teammate, although he didn't have time to stop Hatake Sakumo's attack on Liu, he was able to prevent him from leaving, and when Chizuru was about to make a move to leave Hatake Sakumo behind , Hatake Sakumo turned into a wooden stake——

For those who are close in strength, the substitute technique can't confuse people, but Hatake Sakumo can use the lightning attribute to strengthen and jump to other places by blocking the line of sight for a moment. Soon, Hatake Sakumo distanced himself from the sand ninja trio. He didn't intend to use the long-distance thunder escape ninjutsu. Nothing cheap.

"Don't try to run!" Liu yelled, and flung his hand violently. The puppet body parts around him quickly merged into one, turning into a humanoid puppet, and chased after Hatake Sakumo.

There was a hole in the puppet's body, and a large number of hidden weapons shot out from it, sealing Sakumo Hatake's evasion space,

No matter how fast Hatake Sakumo swung his knife, it was impossible to block so many small hidden weapons. However, Sakumo Hatake didn't intend to block it at all, a whirlwind came in front of Sakumo Hatake and swept away the hidden weapon in one go.

Hattori Heizo breathed a sigh of relief, put down his seal hand, looked at Hatake Sakumo who retreated to the side, and said, "Really, don't rush out, the enemy is a sand hidden ninja after all, and it's not so 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 Sha Yin trio landed on a treetop not far away, and instead of standing together, they stood separately, maintaining a position where they could support each other without being implicated. Liu manipulated the puppet to float beside him, looked at Sakumo Hatake coldly, and said, "Your name is Sakumo Hatake, right? What happened just now?"

Hatake Sakumo knew that the other party was asking the reason why the knife went towards the non-critical area, and said: "I just try not to kill people here, maybe you have misunderstood."

"Don't want to kill people? I didn't expect Konoha Ninja to be so naive. We came here with a life-and-death certificate, and we have the consciousness of life." Only the strong one can decide what to do with the loser.

"The exam is an exam after all, not a battlefield, at least I think so." Hatake Sakumo said seriously.

From his teacher, Hatake Sakumo knew that the purpose of the joint Chunin exam was to reduce the ninja war to this examination room, so sacrifices were allowed. However, Hatake Sakumo, who was born in a samurai family, had other insistences. He believes in the "righteousness" held by ancient warriors and is willing to fight for "righteousness", while he rejects "injustice".

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 The new principles combined with Yoshito's thoughts, he believes that the ninja future imagined by Masaki Fumori is the right way.

In Hatake Sakumo’s view, the Joint Chunin Exam should not be like this. It should be the same as the philosophy held by the Sage of the Six Paths. It is to promote communication and bonds between people, and it is also a place to exercise ninja abilities. , rather than the so-called shrinking ninja war. He once asked Masaki Fengmori why he had to take such an exam. Masaki Fengmori said that it was a helpless move, and it was a transitional stage that he had to go through to a better future. Nothing can 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're thinking?" Liu snorted softly, and said, "Speaking of which, we were after those three Takigakure ninjas, but you cut them off halfway, don't you have anything to say? "

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 were going to say something, but it turned out to be this. Did it say in the rules that as long as you are targeted, it belongs to you?" Hattori Heizo said sarcastically.

Indeed, there are no such words in the rules. Liu said this, but he is used to taking what he is eyeing as his own, and he will naturally not admit this, saying: "It seems that you don't intend to hand over the scrolls to me. Come out, then we have to get it ourselves."

"If you want anything, come and get it if you have the ability." Hattori Heizo said coldly, without the slightest intention to back down, the muscles of his whole body tensed up, ready to strike at any time.
