Chapter 213: Mighty Dai, Let Them Remember the Taste of Fear
Konoha, the second training ground.
A large amount of dust was raised on the training track, and a green figure could be seen galloping.
"Kai, come on, faster and faster!"
Matt Dai lay down outside the fence of the training ground, put his tearful head into the fence, and shouted: "This is your youth! Is this the only extent of your youth?!"
Until the dust on the runway dispersed, a short figure wearing green tights knelt on the ground with his hands on his hands, tears streaming down his immature face.
Click... click...
"Oh, oh, oh, I'm sorry, dad. I'm almost four years old, and I still can't run a hundred laps around the playground. I've let you down again!" The boy's tears kept dripping on the ground.
Matt Day ignored the "no climbing" warning sign and jumped from the fence into the training ground.
"No no! Kai, you did it!"
He held the crying Kai in his arms and patted Kai on the back with tears streaming down his face: "You ran one hundred and two laps! You didn't give up. You broke through your own limits. Dad is here for you." pride!"
"Woooo! Dad, I have to run four hundred laps tomorrow!"
"Oooh! Kai, my son! You will definitely become a stronger man than anyone else!!"
The father and son, wearing the same green tights, hugged each other and cried, making the scene look both funny and passionate at the same time.
"...Two kappas know only taijutsu, but they also want to be ninjas? If they can't get the mission, they can't even practice taijutsu."
In the shooting range of the training ground, Uchiha Shinji looked at the two people hugging each other and crying on the track. He felt that his eyes were going blind and he couldn't help but shake his head.
This father and son pair are quite famous in Konoha. Even Shinji, who is deeply involved in Kande, has heard of them, but unfortunately they don't have a good reputation.
Ten thousand years of genin, the son of ten thousand years of genin.
Because he only knows taijutsu and does not know any ninjutsu or genjutsu, Matt Dai is almost thirty years old and has failed the chunin exam countless times.
The main way for ninjas to make money to support their families is to accept tasks posted in the village, but tasks are not just for anyone who wants to do them.
Generally speaking, unless there are special circumstances, you need to be a jounin to accept confidential matters related to the national level such as S-level and A-level and tasks related to the trends of the country or the village.
Like B-level and C-level missions, which may be battle missions between ninjas and missions in which the performer may be injured, you also need to be a chuunin to accept them.
Genin, when alone, can only accept D-level light tasks that do not involve direct combat or life-threatening risks, such as investigating the location of pets, assisting in digging taro, weeding, nannying, etc...
In peacetime, the villagers had a lot of spare money and a lot of D-class tasks. Matt Dai's life was relatively easy, but as the war situation becomes increasingly severe, the number of D-class tasks has dropped sharply.
The number of C-level missions such as personal protection is increasing, but as a genin, Matt Dai needs a team of three to take it on, but no one is willing to team up with a "waste" who only knows Taijutsu.
Not even knowing the most basic three-body technique, Matt Dai can really only be regarded as a "trash" in the eyes of most people.
In addition, after Metkai was born, he was also judged to have no talent for ninjutsu. With the amount of exercise they both practiced and improved at the same time, their requirements for the quality and quantity of food were very high, and there was another food in the house that they could eat. Mouth.
If he hadn't married a medical ninja wife, Matt Dai wouldn't even be able to raise a child now.
Even so, in order to reduce the family's expenses and to train his son, he has not exercised his body as much as before for a long time.
Family and family have made Matt Dai, who once had enough to eat for the whole family, become scrupulous.
"Brother Dai!"
Just when Shinji was looking at the father and son, slightly distracted, a slightly familiar voice brought him back to his senses.
After seeing the conspicuous golden hair in the distance, Shinji quietly disappeared into the training ground.
But leaving with him was a white figure.
"Oh! Minato!"
Matt Dai wiped away his tears with his big hands, smiled instantly when he saw the man, and said with emotion: "It's rare to see you come so early, are you going to get excited too?"
Although he had long been accustomed to his way of speaking, Minato still subconsciously touched his nose and said with a smile: "I just have something to ask you about, but you are the one working hard as always, Brother Dai."
He turned to look at Kai behind Matt Dai, with a warm smile on his face: "I haven't seen him for a while, but Kai has grown so tall."
"Of course!" Metkai wiped his nose with his thumb, smiled with his reflective teeth on his hips, "I will definitely become a stronger man than anyone else!"
"Then you have to work hard." Minato smiled and stretched out his hand to rub Kai's kappa watermelon head, "Kai should be old enough to go to school, right? I know that those classmates in the same class as you are very strong."
Genma Shiranui of the Shiranui Clan, Kurenai Yuhi of the Yuhi Clan, Sarutobi Asuma, the son of the Third Lord, the child of the White Fang of Konoha, the Hyuga Clan, the Uchiha Clan...
While the war continues on the front line, Konoha is gradually recovering from the ruins it once was, and many sprouts are growing vigorously, which Minato, who has now graduated as a genin, is looking forward to.
Thinking of this, he lowered his head to look at Metkai. Thinking that Kai was judged to have poor ninjutsu talent, a look of pity flashed in Minato's eyes.
Although Kai's Ninjutsu talent is better than that of his father, Matt Dai, and he is not like Dai who can't even learn the Three Body Techniques, it will be difficult for him to become a Jonin through Ninjutsu in this life, and it will be difficult to catch up with those who have good backgrounds. A peer of the Ninja clan.
However, this thought only flashed through Minato's mind, and he quickly put it aside.
No one knows better than Minato the sweat and effort that Matt Dai has put in to become stronger in the past, and no one knows better than him the hard work and everything that Matt Dai has put in to make Kai stronger now.
Minato has always respected Matt Day and admired his perseverance and optimism. Matt Day is a real man and does not need his pity and sympathy.
He also believed that Metkai would one day become famous. With such a father, Metkai would definitely go further in his physical skills.
"Minato, did you just say you had something to do with me?"
While Minato was thinking, Matt Dai asked curiously.
Hearing this, Minato came back to his senses, pursed his lips, and said hesitantly: "Actually, that's the case..."

At the same time, in Lord Hokage's Hokage office.
Sarutobi Hiruzen stood in front of the window, looking at the village shrouded in the early morning sunshine, looking at the restored peace and tranquility, a smile appeared on his old face.
But he quickly suppressed his smile and looked down at the crystal ball in his hand, which reflected Minato and Matt Dai in the training ground.
"Meterdai, Namikaze Minato..."
Thinking of Matt Dai's file, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned.
Namikaze Minato, this child has long entered his field of vision, but what he values is only the will of fire in Minato. Whether it is appearance or character, Minato is simply the perfect spokesperson for the will of fire.
Sarutobi Hiruzen originally wanted Minato to become Kushina's "bond", but the Nine-Tails Rebellion that happened later made him a little unexpected. Uzumaki Mito disrupted him by letting Tsunade become the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki. calculation.
Coupled with the ever-changing situation on the front line, he never paid attention to Namikaze Minato, and even Kushina didn't care much.
But what Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't expect was that Jiraiya would notice Namikaze Minato.
Unexpectedly, because of Namikaze Minato's words, Jiraiya would come to him to ask for someone, to ask for a "10,000-year genin".
"The blue-eyed son of prophecy..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's brows gradually tightened, and the wrinkles on his face were tightened, and he murmured: "Jiraiya, what are you thinking about? Are you so naive that you even believe in such ignorant things?"
"Or are you just praising your talents? Do you just see your old self in Minato?"
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shook his head and laughed to himself.
Minato's theoretical scores were first in the class, and his practical scores were also among the best. Jiraiya was the weakest in the class at the time, how could he possibly see his former self.
That could only mean that Jiraiya truly believed, or at least had hope, that Minato might be the so-called son of the prophecy.
As Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen would not believe in any prophecies, let alone believe that there is still someone who can change the ninja world.
Nowadays, most of the wars in the ninja world are due to the fundamental system of one country and one village. However, one country and one village are unbreakable and have reached a dead end, while maintaining a strange balance.
Even if the first generation of adults is resurrected, they may not be able to change everything they "created" in the past.
Even if the first Hokage was resurrected and said that he wanted to change the ninja world and break the one-country-one-village structure, the first person to object would be him, the third Hokage.
"Forget it, let him go, as long as nothing happens on the front line again." Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed, feeling like he had a headache again, "I don't have to worry about either of them, so Orochimaru can save me some worry. Already..."
Boom! Boom!
Just then, there was a knock on the office door.
Sarutobi Hiruzen suppressed the fatigue on his face and put the crystal ball in his hand into the cabinet.
"Please come in."
As the words fell, the office door was pushed open.
"Sandaime-sama!"
Matt Dai walked in a little timidly. It was obviously the first time he was summoned by the Hokage. When he saw Sarutobi Hiruzen, he bowed suddenly, then bent down and asked tentatively: "Minato said, you have a task for me. I?"
Speaking of this, his eyes were a little fiery.
Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly helped him up, with a kind smile on his face and said: "Yes, Jiraiya is carrying out a secret operation and lacks a ninja who is proficient in taijutsu."
"Minato highly recommended you to Jiraiya, but as a genin, you don't actually need to go to the battlefield now, so I still want to ask for your opinion, should you..."
"I'll go!"
Before Sarutobi Hiruzen could finish his words, Matt Dai suddenly stood up straight, almost hitting Sarutobi Hiruzen's face.
He clenched his fists fiercely, his eyes seemed to be burning with two balls of fire, and he repeated without hesitation: "I want to go!"
"..." Seeing his passionate look, Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent for a moment and asked again, "Don't you think about it? This mission is still very dangerous. Even if you refuse, no one will blame you."
Matt Dai shook his head without hesitation, showing his shining white teeth, giving a thumbs up and smiling: "A real man's youth is not afraid of challenges! Even Kai will support me!"
With the reward from this mission, their family's life would no longer be so embarrassing.
Seeing his unreliable look, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed in his heart again.
Forget it, just go, anyway, Jiraiya has been away for a long time, and it is unknown whether Might Dai can catch up.
If nothing unexpected happens, it won't be long before Tsunade and Jiraiya are done. Let Might Dai get the bounty of the S-level mission, just as a face for Jiraiya.
Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen handed a document to Might Dai and reminded him: "Remember, this mission is confidential, and you must not tell anyone!"
He didn't want people to know that he, the third generation Hokage, had to open a backdoor for the Genin.
"Understood, Third Generation!" Might Dai grabbed the document and turned to leave the office.
"Wait a minute!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen hurriedly stopped him, stuffed another document to him, and added: "It just so happens that a senior ninja team is going to carry out a mission on the way, and you can take care of each other if you go with them."
Might Dai subconsciously glanced at the document in his arms.
Leading jonin: Hiru...
After only glancing at the words, Might Dai raised his head, turned around, pushed the door open with a "bang", and shouted: "Oh! My youth, here I come!"
Behind him, looking at the door that creaked under the weight, Sarutobi Hiruzen's hand froze in mid-air, and a worried look gradually climbed onto his face.
Is this guy really okay? He won't die on the way, will he?
————————
Above the air fortress, the morning glow reflected on the horizon.
The moment the air ninjas walked towards the gangway, the rising sun shone on their faces. They subconsciously raised their hands slightly to block the sun, squinting their eyes and looking down into the distance.
Bird Thrush stood beside the launch track, staring at the air ninjas and said in a deep voice: "Are you all ready?"
"Of course!"
The air ninjas grinned impatiently and put on the goggles on their foreheads together.
The flying ninjas parked on the deck were flashing red beacon lights, and the snow-white takeoff indicator lights cut through the darkness on the runway like swords. The radio in the control tower sent a signal of permission to take off in the heavy rain.
"When we set foot on that land, our war will begin."
The bird's eyes swept across their faces, and the corners of his mouth curled up, and he said loudly: "Let's wake up those guys who were once trampled in the mud by us and are now dreaming peacefully!"
"Pull their hair, pull them up, tear open their eyelids, let them remember, let them recall the taste of fear, let them recall the sound of our wings breaking through the air!"
After that, he slowly raised his hand, and under the gaze of everyone, he suddenly dropped it.
Bang! Bang bang! !
The black wings roared across the deck, leaped out, and flew past, and the "Falcon" that took off also heard the excited howling of a madman.
Looking up at the "hawks" flying away one after another, a trace of excitement flashed across the eyes of the bird.
Then, he turned his head to look at the red-haired girl who came silently behind him, grinning: "Now, it's time for us to set off."
Uzumaki Yoriko wiped the anti-material sniper rifle that refracted black light in her hand, and whispered: "It's time to fire the first shot of the Uzumaki clan's revenge."
