Chapter 148 - 148 Past
"Kakashi, why is your expression is like that? Come out for breakfast, and then we can practice together later."
Sakumo walked over and patted Kakashi's silver hair, then waved his hand and left the room.
Kakashi stood blankly in front of the mirror.
"What is going on here? Genjutsu?"
He tried to move his chakra. Then he feels the huge chakra reserved he had cultivated for several years had disappeared without a trace at this time, even the silver-white Cursed Seal had also disappeared.
"How could this be..."
Kakashi is puzzled, as this Genjutsu feels too real.
At this time, the Chakra inside Kakashi's body is at best just Genin level.
'Did I reincarnated again?'
"Kakashi, come out quickly."
Hearing Sakumo is calling him again, Kakashi doesn't not hesitate and quickly came out.
"Kakashi, you are a little lazy today, are you too tired from yesterday's practice?" Sakumo asked.
"No tou-san, just thinking about something."
"What are you thinking about for so long?" asked Sakumo.
"Nothing," Kakashi said vaguely.
Seeing Kakashi doesn't want to talk about it, Sakumo did not say anything.
"Okay, come over and eat, then follow me to the yard to train later."
"Okay! Tou-san!"
Although he was puzzled, Kakashi still filled his stomach first.
After finishing the breakfast, Sakumo stood up and said, "Kakashi, come with me."
Kakashi nodded as he was very familiar with what happened next.
Before entering the Academy, this was his daily life.
Since he has inherited the original Kakashi's memory, this thing feels like he experienced it himself.
This moment reappeared in front of his eyes, making Kakashi sigh with emotion.
'But, tou-san, is it really you?'
Kakashi looks at the Sakumo's back in front of him, and the corners of his eyes are a little moist.
'How long have I not felt this way?'
Kakashi has forgotten.
Before the tears from the corners of his eyes slip off, Kakashi forced them back.
Shedding tears is something a man should never do.
It's still the same familiar courtyard where Kakashi has swung his sword many times.
But it feels different now as he is with a familiar but unfamiliar person.
"Kakashi, our Hatake Clan uses the sword technique to shock the Shinobi World , so you must master this sword technique. It is rumored that when the village was not established yet, there was a mysterious Expert who taught our clan this formidable sword technique. Even if our clan didn't have any Kekkei Genkai, because of this sword technique, our clan is strong enough to become one of the strongest clan in the Shinobi World."
Kakashi nodded. He had heard these words many years ago, and now that he hears it again, his heart is full of emotion.
"Hatake Clan Sword Technique is something like Taijutsu. It requires us to constantly swing the sword and turn it into our bodies' instinct. There are eight basic sword techniques, namely sweep, chop, stab, slash, slice, cut, charge, and cleave. Today, you will practice all of these. You need to focus as I will only demonstrate it once."
After Sakumo finished talking, he pulled out the short white sword behind him and moves towards the garden that is full of cherry blossoms.
Sweep, chop, stab, slash, slice, cut, charge, and cleave!
One move after another, although they seem simple, they are very powerful.
The sword's shadow is moving with each stroke.
Seeing this, Kakashi is a little ashamed as even now, his sword skills are still inferior to his father.
It's not that Kakashi's talent is not good, but that he is too distracted.
Sakumo has train his sword skill for a lifetime, and he has already trained it to the point of perfection, but Kakashi trained not only at the sword skill, but also a lot of other things.
Therefore, even if Kakashi talent is outstanding, his sword skill is still a lot worse from Sakumo.
If Kakashi didn't know that there were so many powerful enemies in the future, maybe Kakashi would concentrate on training the sword technique.
It's just that Kakashi knows that this sword technique is far from enough to defeat his future enemies.
After he finish, Sakumo stab his sword into the ground, and he looks like a powerful swordmaster.
This is… Sword Technique!
Kakashi was embarrassed as when he was young, he never knows that his father is this strong.
Sword technique is profound. Even with teacher, someone still needs to understand the meaning of it themselves.
Back then, Mifune also talked to Kakashi about the sword meaning, and Kakashi thought that it would not take long for him to understand it.
Unfortunately, until now, Kakashi has not realized it.
Perhaps Kakashi doesn't have the determination to give everything for the sword.
"Kakashi, have you seen it clearly? Try it again and let me see." Sakumo said as he handed the white sword in his hand to Kakashi.
"Yes! Tou-san."
Kakashi takes the familiar white sword and feels a little emotional.
At the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, this sword was broken, and later he was rebuilt into the Millennium Sword.
Every time he fights using the Millennium Sword, Kakashi has a feeling of that he is fighting alongside his father.
Kakashi let out sigh of relief as he gripped the short sword in his hand.
Kakashi did his best, and his sword's shadow move very beautifully.
Sakumo's expression became very strange in an instant. Or rather he was surprised!
In Kakashi's hands, the white sword was a bit less sharp, but it was a bit more flexible. In terms of moves, it is not inferior to Sakumo's display from before.
With every cut, Kakashi seemed to use all his strength.
The vague memory gradually comes back to his mind.
'That time I was taught by tou-san.'
"Kakashi, be steady when swinging the sword."
"Kakashi, you're too slow, you must move faster!"
"Kakashi, it's not enough, your strength is too weak!"
"Kakashi, you have to grow up as soon as possible. I'm afraid that I won't be able to protect you."
"Kakashi, this is the last time. After this, you need to depend on yourself."
"Kakashi, forgive me."
Suddenly, the scene in front of Kakashi changed.
The dark night sky, there was lightning outside, and Kakashi saw a cold corpse in front of his eyes.
The tall figure fell to the ground.
The bright red blood kept flowing from his abdomen, and the White Fang Sword was deeply inserted into his abdomen.
A man, whose name made the Shinobi world frightened, ended his life in this way.
Seeing the scene that is real and empty in front of him, Kakashi was not sad or even surprised.
"Tou-san, I have grown up. If there is a chance for me to meet you in the future, I will tell you that I have forgiven you. You are a hero to me."
Lightning flashed across the night sky, illuminating Kakashi's bitter face.
As the past reappears, Kakashi's heart is naturally filled with mixed feelings.
"Maybe I should thank this Genjutsu."
Kakashi chuckled and recollected all of the emotions. At this time, he was the powerful Shinobi that has defeated Yondaime Raikage, Hatake Kakashi!
"Well, shatter!"
Kakashi said as he suddenly drew out the white sword that is inserted at Sakumo's abdomen, a white light flash, and the scene before him was shattered like a mirror!
Genjutsu, broken!
