Chapter 1785 Condolences
Chapter 1785 Condolences
We were all ninjas of the same generation. Although we weren't exactly best friends, we did have some connections and acquaintances.
"It's Obito! I'm looking for Hatake! I want to spar with him! To see who's stronger, me or Kakashi."
After hearing this, Obito pointed him in the right direction: "He's right there. Go take a look. He just came out, but he's probably a little tired right now."
Following the direction Obito was pointing, Guy saw Hatake sitting on a platform near the tower, seemingly resting.
Might Guy immediately ran over: "Hatake! Are you free right now?"
Hatake looked up at Might Guy: "Ah, it's Guy. I'm fine right now. Is there something you need from me?"
In fact, Hatake had already thought of this. After all, in the Hidden Leaf Village of the other world, he was often sought out by Guy for sparring, so he was already used to it.
"Well, I'd like to challenge you to a duel, but I don't know if you have time."
Might Guy was much more reserved around Hatake, after all, his good relationship with Kakashi didn't mean he had a good relationship with Hatake.
In that case, you would need to ask someone to spar with you.
After listening, Hatake thought for a moment and said, "Well then, I'm really a bit tired today, how about we settle this with a duel tomorrow? At the Trial Tower?"
"You should go back and prepare as well. Tomorrow we'll fight with all our might."
You can't die in battles inside the Trial Tower, so you can fight to the death and truly determine the winner.
However, no one would normally choose this path. Although it is virtual, the line between life and death is very real.
It could even turn friends into enemies.
So everyone stops short of fighting; once they're sure they can't continue, they consider it a loss.
No one would actually kill.
After listening, Might Guy thought for a moment and said, "It should be fine. I can agree. Thank you very much, Hatake. I asked Kakashi, but he always refused me."
Hatake smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, I'm just free. Maybe Kakashi has something to do. Don't blame him or let it affect your relationship."
Might Guy immediately said, "Don't worry about that. I won't argue with Kakashi. We've been good friends for many years, and I'm used to him refusing my sparring."
"But if I ask him a lot, he'll definitely agree to it once. But I was quite surprised that you agreed so easily, Hatake."
Hatake smiled and said, "If you want to spar in the future, you can come to me. As long as I have time, I should be able to spar with you."
"But as long as I explain that I have something to do, you can't bother me."
Hatake knew all too well how difficult it was to shake off Might Guy's entanglement.
"I understand, thank you, Hatake. Don't worry, I definitely won't cause you any trouble."
And so, the agreement between the two was made.
Seeing that they had finished talking, Obito came over and asked, "What, you're done chatting? How about we go grab a bite to eat together?"
"Kay, come along too, we don't have anything else to do anyway."
But Kai politely declined: "I won't go. Thank you for the invitation, Obito, but my father has already prepared dinner at home. You guys go ahead and have fun."
Since that's how it is, there's nothing else to talk about, so Obito could only agree: "Alright then, let's eat together again sometime."
After saying that, he left with Hatake.
Might Guy is very happy now, and Hatake's willingness to spar with him is a form of recognition of him.
That's what he thinks anyway.
"Tomorrow I'll spar with Hatake first, then I'll take on a mission so Kakashi will never have a reason to refuse me again!"
……
The next morning, Haoyuan woke up from his sleep, quickly dressed in the clothes he had prepared in advance, and then washed up.
He still has a task his father assigned him to complete today, and he has to go with China.
After he finished packing, he called China directly.
It didn't take long for the other party to answer the phone: "Hello? Haoyuan, are you ready?"
Haoyuan responded, "Yes, it's all over. How are you doing now?"
Chika paused for a moment before resuming her voice: "Ah, I'm all better now. I just tidied my clothes. I won't reply. I'm about to leave the clan now."
Haoyuan tidied his clothes and then left the Cloud Clan territory.
The two met on the street and immediately took each other's hands: "Good morning, Haoyuan."
"Good morning, China. Did your father give you any instructions?"
China nodded: "Yes, they want me to improve their treatment as a reward."
Haoyuan didn't react after hearing this, since it wasn't their family's business and there was no need to say anything.
All he had to do was offer his condolences; bringing Lord Qufeng's greetings was already the greatest reward for them.
"Okay, let's go then. Have you had breakfast?"
Haoyuan rubbed his stomach, feeling genuinely hungry: "No, you probably haven't eaten either, have you?"
Chika stuck out her tongue: "Indeed, we got up too early this morning and didn't even have time to eat. Let's go to the morning market to buy some food and then go see them."
So the two went to the morning market and bought some food, including some more elaborate meals, in addition to what they would eat themselves, to give to the second successful experimenter.
The fact that two people have succeeded in a row is the best thing that has happened to Konoha Village recently.
Amado believed that the success of both individuals would prove that it was a safe technology.
However, Qu Feng felt it was still not safe and prepared to hold a second batch of experiments.
Many ninjas have signed up to participate this time, but it's best to select only a few with strong willpower.
The remaining people will basically be eliminated.
Even so, a great many people still signed up, probably more than a thousand. In the end, only less than ten people will be selected, maybe not even five. It's mainly about selecting the best of the best.
When the two arrived at the hospital, they saw that the medical ninjas were noticeably busier than before.
People come and go almost without looking up, with no time to see who they just passed.
Haoyuan then found a nurse and asked her where the ward was.
Then he took China to the second test subject's ward.
The experimenter inside the room was now awake and chatting with his wife.
When he saw Haoyuan and Qiannai arrive, he could hardly believe it.
"Lord Haoyuan! Miss Qiannai, what brings you here?"
