Half an hour later, Akai and Kakashi, brothers in distress, were sent to the door of Konoha Hospital by Pengniao.
The macaw held a few banknotes in its mouth, paid the medical and hospital bills for the two of them, and then returned to Mai Uchiha with the bird.
Calling someone over to give him a beating and then not paying the medical bills is something that Uchiha Mai cannot do.
When Kakashi woke up, it was already eight or nine o'clock in the evening.
"Hey, you're awake."
The nurse on duty happened to be doing rounds. When she saw Kakashi waking up, she muttered: "I heard they said you are a genius ninja in Konoha. You graduated from the Ninja School a few years ago and became a professional ninja.
The mission you performed this year was really dangerous, and you were sent three times in less than half a year."
The first time was when Minato was beaten by Mai Uchiha during the small test, the second time was during Hasegawa's pursuit battle, and the third time was this time.
Based on the injuries alone, it is impossible to tell which time was an exercise, training, and which time was a life-or-death battle.
Kakashi blushed slightly and felt a little ashamed. Fortunately, he was wearing a mask so no one could see it.
"There should be one more person, where is Akai?" Kakashi looked around the ward and asked.
"That watermelon head?"
The little nurse replied: "He woke up more than half an hour earlier than you. After waking up, he kept shouting about working hard, youth, knowing shame and courage. Neither of them could hold it down.
After completing the discharge procedures, he jumped all the way home. He looked like a monster, and the head nurse clearly said that his injuries had not fully recovered."
This is Akai's style.
Kakashi clenched his fists, lifted up the quilt and jumped out of the hospital bed. He went through the discharge procedures on the spot without taking off the bandages, and stumbled home all the way.
As soon as I stepped into the door, I smelled a strong aroma.
It's now November, the weather is getting colder, and the hearth table at Hatake's house has been moved out.
The table was filled with vegetables, tofu, beef, fish balls, mushrooms and other ingredients. In the center was a small pot sitting on an alcohol lamp.
Hatake Sakumo was wrapped in a quilt and his legs were stretched under the table. He didn't look like a Kage-level expert who was famous in the ninja world.
Seeing Kakashi come back, he pulled out a section of the cotton rope from the alcohol lamp, added ingredients to the hot pot, and said kindly: "I'm back.
A few days ago, a new hot pot restaurant opened in Konoha. I heard from a friend that the sukiyaki in that restaurant is very good. I wanted to take you there, but unfortunately I never had time.
After leaving your position in ANBU, you joined ANBU again.
Today I finally have time to try out my craftsmanship. Haha, it’s definitely not as good as that shop.”
Kakashi pursed his lips, sat across from Hatake Sakumo, picked up a few pieces of green vegetables with chopsticks, and suddenly couldn't hold himself any longer, and said in frustration: "Father..."
I lost to Wu today, completely."
"I know." Hatake Sakumo nodded.
"No, you don't know."
Kakashi clenched his fist and said with shame: "Sannin Jiraiya-sama, let me and Akai team up, and let us escape first. As long as we don't leave Konoha, we can escape anywhere."
If Mai can't find and defeat us within an hour, even if we win. I don't accept it, but Jiraiya-sama said that he thinks Mai does have that kind of strength.
The final result was that it only took Wu half an hour to track down Akai and I, and it only took two minutes to defeat us."
To talk is to open the wound again and show it to others. Often, what you get is not comfort but ridicule.
The person Kakashi confided in was Hatake Sakumo. A father would definitely not laugh at his son. Hatake Sakumo paused slightly while picking up vegetables. How could he lose so miserably?
Mai Uchiha was always very aggressive, and Hatake Sakumo knew that. When Kakashi didn't come home for dinner at five or six o'clock, he knew that his son must have been admitted to the hospital.
But it would be too outrageous to resolve the battle in two minutes with one against two. This kind of strength is probably not worse than some jounin.
"So?" Hatake Sakumo asked.
"So now I feel like a loser and my reputation as a genius is not what it deserves."
Kakashi said in frustration: "When I graduated from the ninja school a few years ago, Mai was no different from other mediocre people, except for being good-looking.
When he first joined Minato-sensei's team a few months ago, he already had a strength that was almost as good as mine, and could defeat me with some tricks.
And today...
I feel like I haven’t made any progress in the past few years, and I’m no different from those mediocre people.”
Kakashi was really shocked.
It is said that all members of the Uchiha clan are arrogant and look at others through their nostrils. Kakashi was truly arrogant when he was a child.
None of the classmates in the Ninja School, including Obito and Nohara Rin, even took a look at them.
Because his father was a famous and powerful ninja in Konoha, and he inherited his father's talent in swordsmanship, Kakashi felt that he had nothing in common with those mediocre people.
As the early ceiling of Naruto's non-blood ninjas, Kakashi does have the capital to be arrogant.
Then a bad guy suddenly appeared, and his strength improved as fast as a rocket.
If Mai relied on the Sharingan, Kakashi would also admit it, and the blood ninja could not afford to offend her. However, Mai Uchiha only used a single magatama, and used other things to defeat Kakashi.
"If you lose today, just try your best to win back tomorrow." Hatake Sakumo persuaded.
"But..." Kakashi was about to argue, but was interrupted by Hatake Sakumo.
"You are trying to say that there is no hope of catching up with Wu, right? It's because he is progressing too fast.
Kakashi, you just said that Mai was no different from other people a few years ago. How did he suddenly catch up and overtake you?
Could it be that he relies on the blood inheritance limit?
When you lose your ambition, you can't help but sigh. When you feel down and down, you can't help but feel scared. It feels like you have lost it. When you feel lost, you feel like a scarecrow.
Life can be compared to the waves on the sea. Sometimes it rises and sometimes falls. Three minutes of the day is destined to be determined by hard work. Only by hard work can you win.
If you don’t work hard, how do you know you’re not good?”
It's so boring that you die!
The Japanese pronunciation of scarecrow is "Kakashi", and Kakashi's real name should be "Hatake Scarecrow".
Kakashi regained his fighting spirit. His father was right. If I get depressed because of a temporary failure, wouldn't I be like those mediocre people?
"Besides, what does it matter even if we can't catch up?"
Hatake Sakumo raised his hand and rubbed Kakashi's hair, with a slightly stern tone, admonishing: "Father, I feel that I will never be able to catch up with Mai.
Look at what you are like, how come you have such thoughts? Has Akai ever defeated you once before? Has Akai ever given up before?
Kakashi, it is good to surpass a strong opponent, but the process of trying to catch up with a strong opponent is more important.
As long as you never give up, even if you can't surpass your inner enemy, you can still surpass yourself."
"I understand, Father."
