Chapter 58 You're going a bit too far; Kakashi's plan?
"Turns out, I was the only one who was genuinely feeling this way..."
I'm all in touch with you, are you trying to play mind games with me?
Kurenai covered her head and looked at the two of them. Although her expression was somewhat distraught, she quickly understood their state.
Uchiha Ike and Kakashi were definitely not acting.
It's true that they argued, and it's true that they had different ideas.
However, controlling one's emotions is the first lesson at the Ninja Academy and a basic quality of a ninja.
The first word in the word "ninja" is "endurance"—enduring pain, torment, and controlling one's emotions...
If someone can't even resist a low-level divisive tactic like Tsunade's, they don't deserve to be called a ninja; they're just a fool with power but no substance.
As the youngest Chunin in history, Kakashi is clearly not that kind of idiot.
As for Uchiha Ike...
Looking at Uchiha Ike's calm smile, Kurenai Yuhi felt a surge of curiosity.
She felt that this boy was completely different from what she remembered.
He dared to openly confront Kakashi, who was known as a genius.
They even dared to question Tsunade, one of the three legendary Sannin of Konoha, about the rules.
Without being deliberately provocative, he seems surprisingly reliable.
"Well then," Kurenai shook her head, putting those thoughts aside, and reconsidered the current problem, "what should we do?"
Aside from Kakashi, she and Uchiha Ike were just junior genin who had just graduated.
Oh, Kakashi is a Chunin.
But no matter how talented he is, he is only a Chunin. Even if he manages to reach the upper ranks of Chunin, he still can't compare to a well-established Jonin like Tsunade.
"One Chunin plus two Genin, no matter what they think or do, no matter how they create a chemical reaction, they still can't think of any chance of winning..." Kurenai Yuhi bit her lower lip, a look of worry on her face.
Uchiha Ike looked at Yuhi Kurenai with some surprise: "Yuhi Kurenai-kun."
"What's wrong?"
"You're going a bit to extremes."
"?" Kurenai Yuhi's eyes widened, her limpid gaze fixed on Uchiha Ike. "Did I say something wrong?"
"You're actually thinking about how to beat Lady Tsunade?" Uchiha Ike shook his head and sighed, "Isn't that extreme enough?"
Kurenai opened her mouth, as if she had grasped something.
Now that I think about it, I realize I was being a bit extreme.
"Then what should we do?" Kurenai asked after a moment's hesitation.
How can they get the bell without defeating Lady Tsunade?
At this moment, Kakashi, who hadn't spoken for a long time, finally spoke.
"There's no need to defeat her." He glanced at Tsunade, who was smiling at them, and said in a low voice, "Just find an opportunity to steal the bell."
"That's right. As an instructor, Lady Tsunade wouldn't assign tasks that are impossible to complete," Uchiha Ike explained. "In other words, from the very beginning, thinking about how to defeat the opponent using strength was a mistake."
"What we should be thinking about is how to get the bell out of her hands."
"But before that, let's think about this," Uchiha Ike said with a smile, spreading his hands. "What's the significance of stealing the bell? Or rather, can this act be described in more precise terms?"
Kakashi raised an eyebrow: "A test?"
"Correct answer." Uchiha Ike nodded slightly: "Snatching the bell is a test, and what we need to do is snatch the bell and pass the test... Now, next question."
He chuckled and glanced at the two of them. "What exactly is this test trying to assess in us?"
"this......"
Kurenai Yuhi pondered with a pained expression.
What she hates most is this kind of tedious analysis. The process seems like nonsense, but the final result is actually useful. She finds it even more annoying than math.
While Kurenai was still frowning in thought, Kakashi had already given his answer, following Uchiha Ike's guidance.
"Communication skills, analytical skills, critical thinking skills, teamwork skills... and competence."
"Very good," Uchiha Ike said. "Exchange ideas, analyze intelligence, formulate strategies, cooperate in execution, and then complete the mission with qualified strength."
"This is what Lady Tsunade wants to test us on, and it is also the basic quality that a qualified ninja team must possess."
"In fact, as long as we do these things well enough, even if we don't manage to get the bell in the end, we won't need to go back to the ninja academy to repeat the sixth grade."
At this point, Uchiha Ike looked at Kakashi with admiration, "Kakashi, you truly are a genius; you thought of all this so quickly."
Kakashi turned his head to the side and said, "Didn't you already think of everything? It's just basic analysis."
He didn't want to accept Uchiha Ike's praise, because that would be tantamount to indirectly praising Uchiha Ike.
Kurenai glanced at Kakashi, then turned to look at Uchiha Ike. Her moist lips opened and closed repeatedly, but she couldn't utter a word for a long time.
"You guys are all amazing..."
So much information can be analyzed and deduced in just a few minutes.
Kakashi is one thing, after all, he's a genius.
But how come Uchiha Ike is so powerful?
Uchiha Chi smiled but didn't say anything.
He knew the answer to the question, which is why he guided their thinking in this way; it's like shooting the arrow before drawing the target.
But he was always a little thicker than paper, so he could naturally accept Kurenai Yuhi's praise without hesitation.
"But..." Kurenai seemed to have thought of something, and her delicate brows, which had finally relaxed, furrowed again.
"But what?" Uchiha Ike asked patiently.
Kurenai Yuhi pointed out the crux of the problem: "How are we going to steal the bell from Lady Tsunade, or rather, how are we going to make her think that we have sufficient team discipline?"
Everyone fell silent.
The problem has indeed been analyzed, but how exactly do we solve it?
I don't know how much time has passed.
Kakashi broke the silence first.
"...I've heard a rumor."
"What rumors?" Kurenai Yuhi immediately asked.
Kakashi doesn't seem like a gossip person, so if he suddenly brings up rumors at this time, it's definitely not some trivial news.
Rather, it's intelligence that can actually help them.
Kakashi looked up at Uchiha Ike and Yuhi Kurenai, a rare look of conflict flashing across his face.
"I heard that the reason she resigned from her position at the hospital and has been wandering around outside Konoha for years is not because she's a free spirit, but because..."
She suffers from hemophobia.
"Hemophobia?" Kurenai exclaimed in surprise, then quickly covered her mouth, though her expression remained somewhat incredulous.
A ninja at the pinnacle of medical skills has developed hemophobia?
"It seems that due to the trauma of losing a loved one, she becomes weak in her limbs whenever she sees blood," Kakashi nodded and said. "Moreover, her psychological trauma seems to be very severe, so severe that she hasn't performed a single surgery in all these years."
"You mean..." Uchiha Ike looked at Kakashi with a strange expression, "bleed in front of her, and then, when she shows symptoms, get the bell?"
"That's right, if this rumor is true, we'll definitely get the bell, and we might even win easily..."
Kakashi paused for a moment.
He noticed that Uchiha Ike was looking at him as if he were an idiot.
"Is there a problem?" he asked, frowning.
Uchiha Ike retorted irritably, "Of course there's a problem!"
