Chapter 285 One Year Later
In the blink of an eye, a year passed. At this time, it had been more than three years and almost four years since Silang left the village. The village had undergone great changes.
First of all, there were the villagers. It was already the 44th year of Konoha. A long time had passed since the war, and its subsequent impact had almost disappeared, so they all had relaxed and happy expressions on their faces.
Then, there are the bird puppets that can be seen everywhere. Because of the existence of the bird puppets, the village has expanded a lot, and there is no problem of communication difficulties due to long distances.
Because in addition to military use, bird puppets have also developed civilian versions specifically for transportation, similar to the bus system that Shilang is familiar with, but the income all goes to the village.
At the same time, this model is also developing beyond Konoha. It can be foreseen that this model will definitely make Konoha's strength reach a higher level.
Of course, at the same time, the village also needs to add some projects in order to invest these profits so as not to arouse suspicion from the daimyo.
After all, the ninja village model is that the daimyo controls the village's finances. If you are self-sufficient, then the daimyo will really panic. You have no desires or demands, so why do you still want to keep me hanging?
Therefore, over the years, the scale of the Ninja School has expanded significantly, the treatment has become much better, and more students have graduated early. After all, their abilities are really sufficient. However, because of Shiro, Kakashi has not graduated yet.
Although his strength has improved greatly, it can even be said that he no longer takes ordinary jonin seriously except for elite jonin. The only difference between him and elite jonin is the difference in combat experience and physical fitness.
This is the reason why Shiro has kept him in school all these years. He is a real genius, and the mission can only bring him money and practical experience. Compared with these, he loses more.
In the original work, Sakumo should have thought that with his own teachings, this aspect would not have much impact, but unfortunately, he died too early, and Kakashi basically became depressed.
He began to immerse himself in the mission, otherwise it would have been impossible for him to become a Jonin at the age of 12. His promotion was not based on merit, but was a normal procedure.
The first requirement for being promoted to a jonin through this path is a sufficient amount of tasks.
But now, with Shiro's intervention, he did not graduate early. After Sakumo's death, Shiro also specially found Gai and Obito and asked them to comfort Kakashi so that he could recover quickly.
Then, he practiced with Shiro's test as his goal, hoping to pass the exam as soon as possible, become a ninja, and then go on missions.
In fact, he still cares about Sakumo, otherwise he would not have chosen to complete tasks frantically in the original work. He probably still wants to prove Sakumo through this.
Unfortunately, the continuous blows made him completely obsessed with the mission, and he gradually neglected his training. In addition, the burden of the Sharingan prevented him from inheriting his past glory.
After all, although the Copy Ninja is famous, his strength is just average. Apart from Kamui, he can't even catch up with White Fang. Fortunately, with Shiro's intervention, he did not follow the old path of the original work.
Instead, he studied quietly at school. Not only did he develop Raikiri, but through continuous testing, he discovered its shortcomings. While making improvements, he also worked to strengthen his reaction ability.
It is difficult to enhance reaction ability, after all, it is innate and difficult to train. But it is also simple for Kakashi, because it is in the information left by Sakumo, but it takes a lot of time.
But what Kakashi lacks the least right now is time, it's just that the effect is a bit slow. There are some results at present, but it is still not enough to support the use of Raikiri.
There are indeed ways to improve and continue to develop, and there are shadows of Chidori Ryu. However, even so, Kakashi still can't graduate.
Because the Sandai and the others had agreed with Shiro to wait for his notice, he didn't want Kakashi to stop studying too early, and then he forgot about it.
In addition, Kakashi's progress was also noticed by the Third Generation, so the Third Generation also believed that it would be more beneficial for Kakashi to stay in school. Anyway, the village is not short of money or people, so even if Kakashi graduates, he will not be of much use in the short term.
Therefore, he continued to be trapped in the school. Of course, the third generation would definitely not take the blame for this, so Kakashi's resentment towards Shiro grew day by day.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that the relationship between Kakashi and Obito and Gai is getting better and better. Of course, there are gains and losses.
As their relationship became more familiar, Kakashi lost the opportunity to completely win Lin's heart.
In fact, Lin had a good impression of Kakashi at first. After all, he was handsome, talented, and had a good family background. He was the prince charming in the eyes of many girls. Then, after they had a better relationship, he became approachable. In short, being handsome was basically a plus point.
However, ever since Kakashi and Gai became closer and revealed their unknown sides, Lin suddenly felt that it was actually fine to be just ordinary friends and there was no need for them to be together.
Therefore, when Kakashi's perfect image collapsed in Lin's heart, Obito "took advantage of the opportunity". After all, everyone knew his purpose, and he did not hide it at all.
When Kakashi, whose personality has collapsed, is put together with Obito, who respects the elderly and loves the young and is consistent in his words and deeds, the contrast is obvious. Of course, this is also related to the fact that they often train together.
After all, it’s usually the three of them who train with Lin, with Kai added occasionally. Therefore, we can only say that it’s not Tu Ge’s excellence, it’s all thanks to the support from his peers!
However, there are only some signs of a relationship between the two now, and it is hard to say whether it can develop further.
At the same time, it was not only them who changed, but also Kai, because in that battle, Dai opened the seven gates to fight against the Raikage, which made the village quickly pay attention to them and their son.
After several years of training, Dai officially became an elite Jonin. His income and status have been greatly improved. At the same time, Kai's treatment is naturally much better than before.
Therefore, with sufficient care, Kai's strength has improved a lot. Even with his weak physical skills in the early stage, he has now reached the middle level of the class.
I can't say he is excellent, but at least he is not lagging behind others, and he is much more confident than before. Of course, he has been complained about by Obito a lot because they used to compete for the first place, and occasionally if he was lucky and performed a little more normally, Obito could still fight for the second place.
Now that he's gone, Obito is left alone occupying the back of the car, and he's very unhappy.
This guy is quite weird. He is obviously quite strong. During their usual training, when the three of them besieged Kakashi together, he was usually the main force and could bring considerable pressure to Kakashi.
However, he always makes mistakes in every test, so he has always been the first in the ranking.
Of course, because they all knew Obito's strength, their relationship did not change much, and even became better and better. It was just that they often teased Obito about this, which made him very unhappy.
It can be said that because of Shiro's intervention, the wind in the ninja world has blown in another direction.
"We're finally here. It's been a long time since we last met, Konoha."
