Chapter 21: The Name of Genius
"Did you graduate in the first grade?"
Uchiha Takayuki looked at his son in front of him in surprise.
"Isn't it too early?"
The mirror man bowed his head and said.
"This is the school's decision, father."
Uchiha Takayuki looked down at the early graduation notice in his hand and thought for a while.
"Well, since it's the school's decision, there's nothing you can do about it. Now that you've graduated, you have to become a genin. Genin generally don't carry out dangerous tasks, but remember, when you become a genin, you must watch and learn more. , you will have a leading teacher, follow your teacher well, in the future, when you become a chuunin, you will inevitably be exposed to some dangerous tasks." Mirror
Man nodded.
"I understand, father."
The next day, on the playground of the Ninja School, there was a podium, surrounded by students from the Ninja School. Everyone struggled to look towards the podium.
In the center of the table, stood the Third Hokage and Kagami. The Third Hokage handed a forehead protector to Kagami.
"From today on, you are a genin."
Kagami was flattered and took the forehead protector. This was just his graduation ceremony. He thought he would find an unmanned room, but Iruka just helped him finish it. , but unexpectedly, the Third Hokage came in person to perform the ceremony for the Mirror Man, and also summoned all the students from the Ninja School to watch, so that the Mirror Man would not be surprised.
The Third Hokage patted the mirror man on the shoulder and spoke.
"Kage Uchiha is a great ninja, and I hope you can become a ninja like him."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Kagami knew why the third generation came to hold a graduation ceremony for him in person. Who is Kagami Uchiha? He is a person who goes beyond familialism and serves the village wholeheartedly. When the Third Hokage said this, he actually hoped that Kagami would not be entangled in the family grudges between Uchiha and Konoha in the future, but focus on the whole of Konoha. safety.
Secondly, the Third Hokage personally organized the graduation ceremony for the Mirror Man. A large part of the reason for this was for Uchiha and to show friendship to Uchiha. Look, I don't treat you badly. Your family disciples graduated early. I even Come and host the graduation ceremony in person.
Probably these two reasons.
Of course, it is a basic operation to see through but not tell the truth, so the mirror man spoke calmly.
"I will work hard, Hokage-sama."
In the afternoon, Shisui tapped the forehead protector on Mirror Man's forehead and said with a disappointed look on his face.
"Hey, if you do this, won't I be able to flick your forehead in the future?"
Mirror Man rolled his eyes.
"Brother Zhisui, you are older than Brother Itachi. It is Brother Itachi who should learn from you, not you."
Zhisui laughed.
"Anyone can learn from excellent places."
Mirror Man couldn't help but complain.
"So, is it a good thing to flick your forehead?"
Shisui looked at the man in the mirror with a confused look.
"Isn't it?"
"Really?"
"Isn't it?"
""
After playing around for a while, Zhisui said seriously.
"Since you have become a genin, you should see your teammates and your teacher tomorrow. I know you will not relax your training, but I still want to tell you, work hard to become stronger. The current situation It's getting worse and worse. I never expect you to change the overall situation, but you must promise me that no matter what the final situation is, you have to protect yourself." Mirror
Man responded with the same seriousness.
"Well, I will, Brother Zhisui, by the way, the one we agreed on before."
Zhisui smiled slightly and interrupted Jingren's words.
"Don't worry, I've kept it in mind. I won't tell Lord Danzo about my Sharingan ability. Also, next time, due to reasons on my side, it may take a long time for me to see you again. While I'm away, if you have any questions about training, you can ask Itachi or your team leader, do you understand?"
Kagami looked at Shisui worriedly. It took a long time for him to meet him. Don't think about it, it must be Went on a mission.
"Yes, I will, Brother Shisui."
Hokage's office.
The door was opened, and a man wearing a mask and ANBU costume walked in and knelt down on one knee.
"Hokage-sama, what do you want from me?"
Sandai threw a piece of information to the visitor.
"I hope you will temporarily step down as the ANBU captain and become his instructor."
The ANBU took the information thrown by the third generation and opened it. It was a child named Uchiha Kagami.
"Should I be his instructor?"
Sandai nodded.
"Yes, this kid is a genius. You should have heard of it. Like Itachi, he graduated from the ninja school in just one year. If there was such a genius in the past, I would be very happy, but now Konoha and Uchiha As you know, I am afraid that this child will take the wrong path in his growth. I want to find someone who can guide him on the right path to be his tutor. After much thought, I think you are the right one. After all, you After experiencing those things, I think you should have some teaching methods for children who may go astray, Kakashi." The
ANBU was silent for a while, then took off his mask and bowed his head.
"Yes!"
Under the mask, the left eye was closed tightly. There was a white scratch extending from the forehead to under the eye. The originally handsome face was somewhat damaged by this scratch. But after seeing it too much, sometimes I feel like this A scratch is also a sign of handsomeness. The most memorable one is the all-white hair color.
Kakashi Hatake, the ANBU captain, is now stepping down. With Kakashi stepping down, Itachi also became the ANBU captain.
Walking on the street, looking at the lively scenes on both sides, Kakashi felt a little nostalgic. How long had it been since he had walked leisurely on the street like this? One year? Two years? Or more, Kakashi doesn't remember. He only remembers that in a dark corner like ANBU, even if he comes to the street, he will only remember the mission and not care about the surrounding appearance.
"Being a jounin?"
Becoming a jonin, that is, the instructor of the genin.
Kakashi took out a piece of paper from his pocket and read it carefully while walking. Recorded above are the detailed information of Uchiha Kagami.
[Uchiha Kagami, born on August 15, 1948, has been practicing diligently since he was a child, and he was far ahead of his peers at a young age. Later, he met Uchiha Shisui Shisui, and began to be taught by Uchiha Shisui , half a year after entering school, he learned the Fireball Technique and the Instantaneous Body Technique. In the next six months, his performance in all aspects became more and more outstanding, especially the level of the Instantaneous Body Technique, which has reached the level of Chunin or above, very close to it. Jonin. 】
It is not difficult to see that most of the information about Mirror Man is full of praise, because Mirror Man is really too scary. However, Kakashi also saw bad records.
[As a member of the Uchiha clan, he inherited the pride of the Uchiha clan. During school, he refused to fight with his classmates by surrendering because he looked down on them many times. He was called an extremely arrogant Uchiha by his peers. ]
Kakashi narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Are you looking down on your classmates?"
Putting Kagami's information back into his pocket, Kakashi raised his head and looked at the sky.
"If Minato-sensei had been able to see that I didn't have the spirit of teamwork and judged me as unqualified, wouldn't those things have happened?" Kakashi put his hand on his left hand
. On the forehead of the eyes.
"Does it mean that I won't have this eye? Will he and her be fine?"
Of course, Kakashi couldn't say these words on the street, he just sighed in his heart.
"No, how can you put all the blame on Minato-sensei? It's only natural that Minato-sensei can't see it, because I used them both in order to pass the exam." At the beginning, Kakashi, Obito, and
Rinsan When someone snatched Minato's bell, after a battle that was not considered a battle, Kakashi keenly discovered that he could not get the bell from Minato on his own. Moreover, when Minato faced Kakashi and Obito and Rin, The degree of letting go is different. When facing him, Minato has to let go a little less, but when facing Obito and Lin, Minato is very casual.
Kakashi noticed this and used Rin and Obito as bait to snatch the bell when Minato relaxed.
On the surface, it seemed that Kakashi took the initiative to ask Obito and Lin to work as a team with him, but in fact, Kakashi knew very well that it was not teamwork. He was just using those two people. .
"It's precisely because I didn't realize the importance of teamwork at the beginning, so"
the scene of the boy being pressed under the big rock emerged before his eyes, and the girl's bleeding face when he penetrated her heart has never been forgotten.
Kakashi lowered his head and looked straight ahead with firm eyes.
"Don't worry, Obito, Lin, Minato-sensei, this time, I won't let anyone who doesn't value his companions become a ninja! Even if that guy is a great genius!" Was it because of my reputation as a genius
? , have you neglected teamwork?
Kakashi thought this as he walked slowly down the street.
