Naruto Shadow Mage

 “Nenrendao?!”

The sound of off-roading came, and Akai was stunned for a moment, and then the pupils in his eyes began to slowly become smaller, and his thoughts drifted to that afternoon.

That day, just like every other day, as a father, Metday was teaching Akai how to practice.

That day was different from the past. Akai had not insisted on strict training. He was listening to his father's instructions. Who would have thought that two ordinary chunin from the same village came up and started to ridicule his father in front of Akai's face. !

 “Look! Is that strange guy training someone else?”

“Is that training? It’s just abuse!”

“Speaking of which, why do you have to wear tight clothes to practice? It’s disgusting!”

 “It’s ridiculous that a genin who has been born for ten thousand years actually wants to teach his children to become successful!”

One taunt after another came, followed by endless ridicule.

 As a son of man, who does not respect his father?

Who can listen to others ridicule and mock their own father?

 So, listening to the ridicule and ridicule of the two Konohagakure chunin, Akai clenched his fists tightly and was about to step forward to defend his father Matt.

However, without giving Akai any chance to step forward, Matt Dai stepped forward and protected Akai first. With a bright smile on his face, he faced the two Konoha villagers who were ridiculing and mocking him. Shinobu gave a thumbs up and replied with a smile: "Thank you! Thank you for your encouragement. We will definitely continue to work hard!"

After that, the two chunin from Konoha Village snickered and left. Matt Dai turned to look at Akai and continued to smile: "Akai, your youth has just begun. Don't let your youth down." ! There are so many people supporting us, we must continue to work hard and not be looked down upon!"

“Father, that just now. That doesn’t seem to be a compliment, right?”

"Isn't it a compliment? No, that's a different kind of praise! Akai, sooner or later you will understand your father's heart!"

He still had that bright smile on his face and the familiar thumbs-up gesture.

At that time, Akai looked at his confident father and said nothing. He felt as if he had knocked over a bottle of Wuxizi, and he couldn't tell what it tasted like.

 So the next day, Akai went to find the two Konohagakure chunin to settle the score without telling his father.

The result is of course needless to say, how can the young Akai be the opponent of two Konoha Village chunin?

 Even though the two chunin were very ordinary, they still sent Akai to the hospital.

 But that day in the hospital was a turning point in Akai’s life!

Because in the hospital, when father and son were having a heart-to-heart talk in the ward, Matdai explained to Akai for the first time his insistence on the way of ninja after he was discharged from the hospital, and taught Akai the forbidden technique he had developed himself!

That magical skill called Eight Gate Dunjia!

Recalling everything his father taught him, Akai was naturally stunned and lost his composure in front of the cross-country. But after being stunned for a long time, when Akai came back to his senses, his eyes suddenly became much firmer, and then he nodded vigorously and said, "Off-road, I seem to understand what you mean."

“When my father taught me, he said that the real victory is not to defeat a strong opponent, but to protect the most important thing in yourself!”

“Also, when my father taught me how to practice the secret art, he also said that practicing that secret art must be accompanied by a strict condition, which is self-imposed!”

 “I think. I think”

As he said that, Akai didn’t know whether he was nervous or unsure, but he stuttered and continued: “I think that’s father’s way of forbearance!”

“Protect and self-restraint? Yes, that is indeed Captain Adai’s way of ninja!”

 Finally, I saw clearly that there was confusion and uncertainty in Akai's eyes.

Now that he fully understands what Matt Dai's special temperament is, Cross Country can't help but recall the scene of a fierce battle with Loquat Juzo and the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost in order to protect the Blade Team and break through the "qualitative" change of spiritual energy. "There are many powerful ninjas in the ninja world, but who can always fulfill the rules of self-restraint? Who can stick to their heart, and who can persist in protecting what is most important to them?"

"In our Konoha Village, how much effort did the First Hokage and the Second Hokage expend in protecting Konoha? Now the Third Hokage and the Fourth Hokage have inherited the forbearance of the First Hokage and the Second Hokage. Dao, do you still protect our Konoha Village, no matter how hard it is, even if you die in battle?"

“There are also those ninjas in the Mist Ninja. Even if some of them are very strong, so what?”

"They don't know how to restrain themselves, and they can kill even their companions! They don't know how to guard, they are just weapons, fighting for their masters!"

"So, Akai, don't think Captain Adai is just a genin, but with his consciousness and his heart to stick to the way of ninja, Uncle Lukaku and I said that Captain Adai is a legend, so it's not Pass!"

"In order to help us get rid of our pride, Captain Adai set an example and was willing to take on the title of captain of the "incompetent" team! In order to protect important people like us, Captain Adai was seriously injured several times, so for no other reason than Captain Adai With all that hard work, our Captain Adai is a good captain!”

“Besides being honored to play in his team, I really don’t feel any humiliation at all!”

 “Presumably.”

As he spoke, with a faint smile on his face, he looked outside the camp and continued: "I guess Genma and Ebisu, you think so too, right?"

 “Genma, Ebisu?”

 Hearing what Cross Country said, Akai couldn't help but be startled again.

Until Shiranui Genma, Ebisu looked embarrassed, and when he slowly walked into the tent, Akai's somewhat gloomy eyes regained their energy!

 “Akai, I’m really sorry, we just said that about Captain Adai.”

“Actually, as Cross Country said before, we can all understand Captain Adai’s hard work!”

Stepping into the camp, Shiranui Genjian, Ebisu apologized directly to Akai.

As for Akai, he was not a grudge-bearing guy in the first place, so after hearing the two people apologizing, Akai must not be able to leave any grudge in his heart. Especially later, when Akai, Shiranui Genma, and Ebisu all looked at the seriously injured Matt Dai with respectful eyes, Cross Country took a deep breath.

 Coming through time and space, the only goal of cross-country is to stay alive.

Only by becoming strong can you survive in the crisis-ridden ninja world, so "living" slowly becomes a shackles to off-roading, and slowly becomes a shackles restricting the development of off-roading!

 In that fierce battle with the Mist Ninja, Cross Country got an unexpected reward when he released his shackles for the first time.

 It’s a pity that Cross Country was still in a state of ignorance at that time, and naturally it was unclear why his mental energy could suddenly break through.

However, when Cross Country learned about the Way of Ninja from Matt Dai, and understood the concept of protecting important things and self-restraint, Cross Country suddenly understood.

Especially when Cross Country became enlightened, there was a subtle change in spiritual energy, which made Cross Country understand Shikaku's painstaking efforts in letting him join the Mattei team.

However, just when Akai, Shiranui Genma, and Ebisu had cleared up their past suspicions, and the atmosphere in the team became harmonious again, they felt the comfortable feeling of the shackles being broken, and felt the faint changes in spiritual energy, slowly Exhaling the turbid breath in his chest and lungs, Xue Xue was about to turn around and leave the camp.

Looking at Cross Country's leaving figure, Ebisu couldn't help but be curious, and asked: "Xu Cross Country, what are you going to do?"

"What are you doing? Of course you should learn from Captain Adai and stick to your own way of tolerance!"

Listening to Ebisu's question, Cross Country kept a smile on his face and replied directly: "I realized that Uncle Shikaku wanted to teach me, but he needed Captain Adai to teach me something. I suddenly discovered that my tolerance... It seems to be somewhat different from Captain Adai’s Nindo. Captain Adai’s Nindo is about protection and restraint, but besides protection, the rest of my Nindo is not about restraint, but about indulgence!”

“Since only by indulging myself can I maintain my tolerance”

"Then if I let go of the Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan, wouldn't I be ignoring the teachings of Uncle Shikaku and Captain Adai!"
