Konoha: My Wife is Tsunade

Cruel war is the easiest environment for ninjas to grow up quickly. Only by personally participating in it and surviving tenaciously can one be called a qualified ninja.

This sentence was taught to Kakashi by his father Hatake Sakumo when he was a child. It turned out that he could not fully understand this sentence until Kakashi followed his master Kato Mikaze to the frontline battlefield of the Kingdom of Rain.

The war between ninjas is completely different from the situation when Kakashi encounters hostile ninjas during his usual missions. It is much more tragic.

The first time Kakashi saw thousands of ninjas fighting each other desperately on the battlefield, he was completely confused.

First, there will be long-range attacks and ninjutsu, followed by a large number of explosive symbols, and then the surviving ninjas will engage in more brutal hand-to-hand combat.

Shurikens were flying, Senbon was stabbing, Kunai was being waved, and Ninja swords were slashing. Along with the duel of various Ninja tools, blood was flying everywhere.

Either you die or I die. This is a war between ninjas.

After the first battle he personally participated in, Kakashi was still in a daze until he followed his comrades back to the army station. He didn't even know how he survived.

The clearest image that Kakashi remembers in his mind is that of himself holding the White Fang dagger, harvesting the lives of his enemies one after another.

The specific process on the battlefield, Kakashi only remembered that when his head was the most confused, it seemed that the voice of his master Kato Mikaze shouted a few words to him in his mind, and then he followed the body's fighting instinct and pulled it out on his own. The silver daggers started fighting until all the surrounding Sunagakure and Iwagakure retreated.

The first battle that Kakashi participated in was also the first large-scale frontal battle between the Konoha and Sandstone coalition forces in the Third Shinobi World War.

Kato Mikaze chose to deploy heavy Konoha troops on the western front, and chose to open a gap in the war with Sunagakure and Iwagakure. In addition to various objective reasons, there was no reason to pick on the weak.

In the last Second Ninja War, the main enemies of Konoha Village were Sunagakure and Iwagakure. Facing the combined attacks of Sunagakure's puppet master and Iwagakure, Konoha Village had relatively mature Countermeasures.

Moreover, at the end of the last ninja war, Konoha Village was the victor. Ordinary Konoha ninjas would have more or less the psychological advantage of being the victor when facing their defeated enemies last time.

Don't underestimate this insignificant psychological advantage. It may not have much effect on high-level ninjas above the Jonin level. However, as the main force of the war, low-level ninjas below the Chuunin level will add up to this small psychological advantage. Sometimes it will even affect the morale of the entire Konoha army.

For example, in the tragic battle that just ended, the morale of the Konoha ninja army played a big role.

After the scouts detected that Sunagakure and Iwagakure had joined forces early, Kato Mikaku changed his original marching plan to defeat Sunagakure and Iwagakure one by one.

After several months of confrontation between Konoha and the Sandstone Alliance in the Land of Rain, Kato Mikaze took the lead in provoking the first large-scale frontal battle between the two sides under pressure from other fronts.

The battle that had just ended seemed to Kakashi beyond his imagination, but in the eyes of the commanders of both sides, it was at most a test between the two armies.

The battle just now was mainly dominated by low-level ninjas below the chuunin level. The high-level ninjas above the jounin level on both sides did not participate in the battle on a large scale.

Kato Yufeng was quite satisfied with the result of the battle. Konoha Village defeated the sandstone coalition forces head-on with one against two. During the most intense period, they broke through the enemy's defense line for a short time, although the enemy was quickly killed and returned.

As the supreme leader of Konoha's ninja army on the front line, Kato Mikaze has been very busy after the battle. He deployed the front line defense, discussed tomorrow's offensive strategy with the staff, arranged for the evacuation and treatment of wounded soldiers, and various other miscellaneous matters that required Kato Mikaze. Wind worries.

He was busy until nightfall and Kato Mikaze had some free time to visit his precious apprentice Kakashi Hatake.

For Kakashi, Kato Mikaze adopted a completely different training strategy from Naoki and his three apprentices.

At first, Naoki and the others said that they followed Kato Midikaze to the battlefield. In fact, in the early days of World War II, Naoki and the others had been playing soy sauce. Kato Midikaze used his authority to arrange relatively safe places for Naoki and the others. In battlefield missions, it was not until Konoha took advantage of the battlefield in the latter part of World War II, and Naoki and the other three had sufficient strength that Kato Mikaze relaxed his protection of them.

Comparatively, Kakashi's treatment was completely different from that of the same master. He faced the most tragic scene in the war.

It's not that Kato Mikaze is partial, but he is more optimistic that Kakashi can quickly adapt to the battlefield environment and grow up quickly.

Moreover, Kato Mikaze didn't really care about Kakashi's safety. When he commanded the battle today, he kept a soul clone, always paying attention to Kakashi's performance and secretly protecting him.

To be honest, Kakashi's performance on the battlefield today is truly worthy of his reputation as a Konoha ninja genius. Except for the first time he saw the big scene at the beginning of the battle, which was a bit confusing, Kakashi's performance later on was even more impressive. If Kato Mikaze did it himself, he wouldn't dare to say that he could do better than Kakashi.

When Kato Mikaze saw Kakashi, the boy was lying on his bed, staring at the pattering rain outside the window in a daze. He raised his salty eyes and looked at the salty eyes on Kakashi's face that were exactly the same as his. , half of the worries about Kakashi in my heart were put aside.

"What are you thinking about, kid?"

This apprentice was definitely in a daze, not sentimental about the cruelty of war.

The moment he saw Kakashi's salty eyes, Kato Mikaze, who is a salty fish, thought of this.

"Master, you are here. Thank you on the battlefield today."

Kato Mikaze's guess was correct. At this time, Kakashi had calmed down from his confused state. Hearing the master's voice, he sat upright. His first reaction was to thank Kato Mikaze for his kindness to him on the battlefield. remind.

"It's okay. You even thanked me. It doesn't look like you were shocked."

"When the battle first started, I was really frightened. If you hadn't woken me up, master, I might have died..."

"With me here, how can I let you die so easily? What's more, today's battle has just ended. A more intense battle has just begun."

Kato Midikaze did not let Kakashi finish what he said, but interrupted him and said, "Moreover, your performance later today is really good, much better than your father's performance when he first went to the battlefield."

"Father? Master, please tell me more about my father's performance on the battlefield."

When Kakashi mentioned his father, he naturally picked up the White Fang dagger Hatake Sakumo left for him from the knife holder on the side.

bass.

It was the sound of White Fang unsheathing.

The white blade, polished by Kakashi's silver polish, cast a cold light under the slightly dim light in the barracks.

Seeing the sword of his old friend, Kato Mikaze thought that this ninja sword had drunk the enemy's blood in Kakashi's hands today, and he felt more and more that his decision to throw Kakashi directly on the front line of the battlefield was the most correct decision. Cultivate his way.

"Your father, that's a bad-tempered guy. His story is quite long..."

That night, accompanied by the sound of dripping rain, Kato Mikaze told Kakashi many things about Hatake Sakumo.

Telling Kakashi these memories about Hatake Sakumo, in Kato Mitikaze's opinion, is a more important thing than teaching Kakashi ninjutsu. In Kato Mitikaze's opinion, these memories are as important as the White Fang in Kakashi's hand. Like the short sword, it is part of Hatake Sakumo's nindo heritage.
