Chapter 124: Exceptionally Gifted

"This time, The Third Lord has dispatched the elites of various families," Sakumo said seriously as he sat down and started discussing the reinforcements.

"It's a pity that Orochimaru and Jiraiya haven't returned yet," Tsunade continued eating grapes, missing her two fellow apprentices.

After all, they grew up together. Despite some ordinary squabbles, their relationship had always been good.

"They have their own choices. They'll come back once they've mastered the Sage Art," Kawaki knew that both of them were probably tired of the war, and it wasn't the time for Konoha to be on the verge of destruction yet.

"I hope they'll both succeed," Dai was still watching the two young ones training hard.

Maybe he was more emotional after getting injured. He instantly recalled his own self at this age.

There were drops of his sweat from training in every corner of Konoha Village.

For a moment, his emotions welled up, and Dai's eyes filled with tears.

Kawaki and the other two didn't know whether he was referring to Orochimaru and Jiraiya or the two young ones.

...

"Once they arrive, you'll be the commander," Sakumo said.

"You have to be careful," he added, giving Tsunade a reminder.

During the battle, there will surely be dangerous missions. If a ninja from any family feels like they're being used as cannon fodder, it'll cause big trouble.

"Teacher, you're really giving me a tough problem," Tsunade was alarmed and stroked her forehead.

Balancing the forces of various families was something she had to face.

"Don't worry too much. As long as we don't target anyone on purpose, everyone will get the idea," Kawaki didn't take this matter seriously. There aren't many capable ninjas among these families.

He had already decided to play the bad guy.

Like playing good cop - bad cop with Tsunade, as long as they cooperated well, it might be a good opportunity to help her establish her authority.

"Don't think it's that simple," Sakumo thought Kawaki was being too optimistic. He had seen too much infighting among the families.

He ended up committing suicide in the original plot because he wasn't good at these things.

"Big bro, outside the Land of Fire, the one with the biggest fist is the boss," Kawaki raised his right hand and clenched his fist. The meaning was obvious.

If anyone dared to cause trouble, they wouldn't end up well.

"Let's not talk about this. Just let nature take its course," Tsunade thought about it and felt that Kawaki was right. Outside the Land of Fire, anyone who dared to stir up trouble would be taught a lesson.

"Don't forget your goal," Sakumo shook his head helplessly and had no good ideas.

He just hoped that things wouldn't go too far and affect Tsunade's image, as it would be a big obstacle for her to become the Hokage.

"Don't worry. I'll take the blame," Kawaki said just as he saw Sakumo's face turn dark.

You're really throwing your family under the bus for your wife.

It could only be said that Big bro had a narrow view. If Tsunade became the Hokage, Konoha might even be named Hatake in the future.

"Big bro, I'll handle it myself," Tsunade probably noticed something and thought Sakumo was unhappy.

Who knew that he was just jealous that even he, as an older brother, hadn't enjoyed such treatment.

"Just listen to Kawaki. He's always had a lot of tricky ideas since he was a kid."

Sakumo put on a forced smile. His younger brother now belonged to someone else, leaving an emptiness in his heart.

"Damn it! I just saw Minato flash by."

Dai exclaimed. He hadn't realized that what he just heard was only accessible to core members.

His status in Konoha would definitely be high in the future. Perhaps it's his easy - going and non - competitive personality that has forged his perseverance and all his skills.

"What?"

Before Kawaki could say a word, Sakumo was already losing his cool.

He spent so much time practicing the Flying Thunder God[b]Flying Thunder God[/b]. And Minato, a little kid, learned it so fast?

Looking over, Minato was simply imitating.

He smoothly learned the Flying Thunder God Technique[b]Flying Thunder God Technique[/b] and then left a mark on the big tree in the courtyard.

This was all summarized by watching how Kawaki and Sakumo learned.

It was simple and useful.

He was standing about ten meters away from the tree, eyes closed, sensing the power of time and space.

His figure distorted slightly but remained in place.

"Holy shit! He really got it!"

Seeing was believing. Sakumo swore out loud. Comparing people really made one mad.

"Sure enough, he's my disciple."

Kawaki grinned, shamelessly taking the credit for himself.

"What the hell do you have to do with it?"

Tsunade gave him a disdainful look. She just couldn't stand someone's ugly face.

"How can it have nothing to do with me? Didn't I discover his talent?"

Kawaki refused to admit it. Anyway, no one knew that he learned about Minato's talent from the original plot.

"..."

Hearing this, Tsunade was speechless. There's nothing you can do when a person has no sense of shame.

She decided to see how Minato would perform next.

Nawaki hadn't noticed these things yet. He was concentrating on holding his sword and occasionally glancing at the scroll beside him.

"Minato is really good."

Dai said this, probably with a bit of envy. He just doesn't have the ability to learn these things even if he wants to.

"I'll go and have a look."

Sakumo was much more concerned than Kawaki. He teleported to Minato's side in an instant.

"Uncle."

Minato opened his eyes when Sakumo came over.

"You're really something, kid."

"I feel like there's still something missing."

Minato had initially sensed the power of time and space and was wondering why he still couldn't perform spatial movement.

"Here I am. Your teacher doesn't even know how he learned it. He's just a useless bum."

Sakumo ruffled Minato's hair. Belittling Kawaki made him feel inexplicably happy.

Your disciple still has to be taught by me.

"I was also like this at that time. You..."

Minato listened attentively, trying to absorb the experience and knowledge Sakumo was sharing.

"Got it? Try again."

After a thorough explanation, Sakumo shared all his experience.

"Okay."

Minato nodded and closed his eyes again.

The next moment, his figure disappeared from the spot and reappeared beside the tree.

"Teacher, I learned it."

Minato shouted out immediately and bounced up and down twice in excitement.

At this moment, all he could think about was his teacher.

"Thankless wretch."

Sakumo was so angry that his hair almost stood on end. I've been teaching you for so long, and you don't even say thanks first?

You little brat, are you being polite?

No wonder you, as Kawaki's top disciple, are so heartless.

"Good, I knew you could do it. Keep up the good work."

Kawaki's voice came over. He resumed his unperturbed manner. Minato was learning even faster than he did.

The Flying Thunder God[b]Flying Thunder God[/b] technique seemed to be tailor - made for him.

"Yes, teacher."

After Minato responded to Kawaki and calmed down, he suddenly remembered an important person he had just ignored.

He quickly ran to Sakumo's side and bowed.

"Thank you, Uncle, for your guidance."

"Alright, practice on your own more from now on."

"Ask me if you have any questions."

Sakumo wasn't really angry with Minato. His grudges were all aimed at his own younger brother.

"Humph～"

After saying that, he went back to the pavilion and sat down. He let out a cold snort and gave Kawaki a sideways glance.

Kawaki was totally confused. What on earth did I do to piss off my dear Big bro this time?
