Chapter 545 Neji: Sorry to Hit Me
"Challenge? What challenge?"
Every day, out of curiosity, I went over to take a look.
"Kakashi-sensei clearly said here that he has a friend who practices taijutsu and wants Guy-sensei to come and work together to develop a new direction for taijutsu. What challenges are involved?"
After looking at the front of the letter every day, he took it in his hand, glanced at the blank back, and looked at Matt Kai with a puzzled expression.
She didn't understand how Teacher Kai had come to that conclusion.
"Tian Tian, you really are forgetful. Have you forgotten the movie we went to see after we finished our mission a few days ago? It said in the movie that the phrase 'I have a friend' refers to that person himself."
So the real content of this letter is actually Kakashi challenging me to a duel, inviting me to our 503rd match!
Kai snatched the letter back, clutched it in his hand, and began to burst into tears.
"Go, Teacher Kai! You have to win!"
Xiao Li also got excited.
The two shouted and then hugged each other.
"I'm too lazy to explain this. I just want to know, even if that's the case, it's Kakashi's challenge to Guy-sensei. What does it have to do with us? Why were we called here?"
Every day, she wore a helpless, drooping face.
"Well, that... As far as I know, Kakashi has Naruto and Konohamaru as his helpers, providing him with inspiration for developing new techniques. They are a team, and so are we."
When Tian Tian asked this question directly, Matt Kai looked slightly embarrassed.
"Well……"
I'm even more speechless now.
Thinking to himself that Guy-sensei was quite self-aware, knowing that he definitely couldn't win on his own, and that Kakashi had two helpers, he also needed to find her and Neji as helpers.
What? You're asking why Xiao Li wasn't included?
Xiao Li doesn't need to be included, since he and Kai are one entity; you can just consider them as one person.
"Alright, I agree. I don't have much to do lately anyway, so I'll go to Kirigakure to find a new feeling for training and take a vacation while I'm at it."
Tian stretched and nodded.
"I'll go too."
Seeing the shifted gazes from Kai and Lee, Neji, who had been silent until now, quickly agreed to avoid the two of them doing anything more embarrassing.
The reason she gave for agreeing every day was just a casual excuse.
Perhaps the phrase "go on vacation while you're at it" is true, but the feeling of seeking spiritual cultivation is definitely not it.
Because I haven't been practicing much lately.
When Kakashi and his group left to travel the world and spread Sage Mode, Konoha, as the place of origin, naturally began to spread it within the village under Kiba Inuzuka's leadership.
Others either tried it out or had ideas.
Tian Tian, however, only found everyone else noisy.
She could understand why others would set aside their pride for the sake of strength, and she knew that this was something that had to be done to fight the crisis in the ninja world.
But she just couldn't do it herself.
So she could neither object nor join in, and could only stay cooped up at home.
We can't go out either.
If you go out and wander around now, you might encounter someone trying to cultivate immortality at any time.
As for why Tenten doesn't want to train in Sage Mode, why doesn't she look forward to the new taijutsu that Kakashi proposed developing?
Because Tenten had a premonition that Kakashi was calling Guy over to develop some kind of "new taijutsu," which would likely be combined with sage techniques, and that they would inevitably have to use that shortcut.
Neji, on the other hand, agreed quickly without giving a reason.
Because his reasons were taken up by Tian Tian.
That's right, Neji was the one who wanted to train and improve his strength, but he had no direction and wanted to go to Kirigakure to find a new feeling.
Clearly, given Neji's personality, at least in the initial stages, he wouldn't be willing to take the plunge and try training in Sage Mode.
But seeing others surpass him, this so-called "genius," without needing to work hard to make up for their shortcomings, and simply relying on "unorthodox methods," Neji couldn't swallow his pride.
Neji was forced to change his ways when he was in dire straits. If it weren't for what happened today, he might have succumbed to the pressure and given up after a while.
But now that a new opportunity has arisen, Neji will definitely choose the new one.
And so, the four members of Kai's team arrived at Kirigakure using the Flying Thunder Formation.
Their arrival time was not much different from Kakashi's and the others.
It was because Kakashi had just mentioned to Mei Terumi that more people would be coming later, and then Might Guy arrived with his men.
There are really not many core figures in Kirigakure right now—meaning ninjas whose names you can actually recall.
Just like in Sunagakure, apart from the old Genji who was almost unable to walk, everyone else whose name I could recall came to greet him, which was quite a show of respect.
Of course, it's also possible that Kirigakure was the last village to be promoted, and Mei Terumi already knew about the situation, so she called people over in advance so that she could directly assign tasks later.
The welcoming was just a side effect.
Before Kakashi mentioned that Guy would be coming, he first mentioned that Gaara had sent his regards, and then told Mei Terumi about what had happened in Sunagakure.
—This is what I specifically requested from Aro.
After all, the situations in the two ninja villages are quite similar.
The village was newly established, with almost all of the older generation dead. The village was a mess left by the previous generation, and the geographical environment was also unique.
Information sharing is essential for the two leaders to prevent problems from arising in the first place.
"So Sunagakure does have its share of stubborn old fogies? You've taken care of them? As for Kirigakure, you don't need to bother with us. I hired Kisame Hoshigaki, a former Kirigakure ninja, to help out a few days ago."
Of course, if you encounter something similar while staying in Kirigakure, I won't stop you from helping out; I will remember your good deeds.
Mei Terumi explained the current situation of Kirigakure.
The Land of Water and the Land of Wind are very similar.
One is an oasis in the desert, the other is an island in the sea.
No one would live in a completely desert region where there is nothing, nor would anyone stay directly in the sea.
The land they inhabit is divided into regions by deserts and the sea, making it more difficult for Sunagakure and Kirigakure to centralize power than for other ninja villages.
Dealing with those hiding in the shadows is even more difficult.
This is like adding insult to injury.
"Kisame Hoshigaki?"
When Kakashi heard Mei Terumi mention this name, he immediately remembered the shark-faced person he had encountered before.
I remember Kisame wanted to marry Jun, the grandson of that bridge-building master.
I later learned that it was just a script, and Kisame Hoshigaki was actually a very honest person.
"Haha, Kakashi, here I come!"
Kai's voice came from the teleportation area of the Flying Thunder Array behind him.
Before Kakashi could react, someone behind Mei Terumi reacted suddenly and immediately moved to the side, seemingly to avoid her.
