Scattered with the flowers,
Leaving behind the innocence of the lonely tree.
I am Metke. The above sentence doesn't seem like something I could write,
But it's really my original work. Although I don't know why I wrote such a thing,
Perhaps, my brain is cramping. Anyway, I'm often said that my brain is cramping,
And called an idiot,
Idiot,
Annoying person,
Thick eyebrows,
Watermelon head, big front teeth. As for the title of my great name,
Blue Beast, it's rarely called by people.
When I was young, I didn't understand why everyone liked me, but why did they always give me nicknames that I didn't like? When I grew up, I figured it out a little,
But now, when I'm 30 years old, I finally have the courage to admit that they just thought I wasn't very good-looking.
Everyone has a love for beauty. Those who are good-looking, like our leader of the Four Generations, Naruto and his mischievous son, bright and upright, are good people at first glance. As for those who aren't good-looking? It would depend on the situation to see how bad it was. For example, Orochimaru and Danzō -sama,
If you insist that they're ugly,
You're wrongly accused,
But if you say they're good people,
That would require some solid evidence before anyone would believe it. As for me?
At first glance, I'm thick from head to toe, thick eyebrows, watermelon head, and a mouth full of big white teeth when I smile. Plus, I don't like Konoha's uniform, I prefer to wear a green family heirloom … Sometimes, when I see a photo with everyone, I find it a little funny. But, here's the point! Here's the point! If there's anyone in Konoha who still remembers my father, Iron Blood Maito Dai, they should know that my father's handsome face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and big beard … My facial features are obviously the same as my father's, how can I be ugly?
It's just that I grew a watermelon head, not a flaming mountain, and I didn't grow a beard because I thought it was troublesome. Can a few strands of hair really change my face? It's obviously you who don't have eyes! Take my disciple Lee Luoke for example. Does he have to be my illegitimate child just because he wears the same clothes and has the same hairstyle as me? He clearly only has eyebrows that are as thick as mine, and they don't even have the same shape as our Matt family … I already said that we are not related by blood, no, no, no, we are not related by blood! You always get excited when you see some superficial things and spread strange rumors everywhere. What do you want me to say to my wife and to have a son in the future?
Alright, let's get back to the main topic. In any case, humans were easily deceived by their eyes. They always believed too much in what they saw and did not believe in the truth, the truth, the truth.
Ah, I finally got to the point. Why did my father dress me up like this when I was young? Even now, I'm still dressing like Rock Lee. Actually, it was for purity, no, for youth, no, for survival, for survival!
A ninja who is proficient in taijutsu, to put it bluntly, is so serious that they can only follow one course to death. Of course, he would be called a master after learning it. Before he learned it, he was just looking for trouble. Who wouldn't be prepared if they knew they were going to be tortured?
In a fight between experts, the slightest mistake can make a difference of a thousand miles. If you saw my watermelon hair and thick eyebrows were funny, then you looked down on me and laughed. If you looked down on me and laughed, then the slightest mistake would be made. As for the green tights? Konoha is a place with lush green trees everywhere. Of course, wearing the color of the canopy is easy to camouflage. Also, why would you wear clothes that can easily be caught by the branches when you are running around in the forest? Our Matt family is just wearing tighter clothes than the Jonin uniform.
Of course, someone would immediately remind me that there is a ninjutsu in the world called Invisibility. Annoying! Didn't they say that taijutsu ninjas are too serious? Our Matt family is too serious in the past and will always be. I am the spokesperson, I am proud of it, oh yeah.
In short, who cares if I am a taijutsu ninja or a physical ninja. I am a ninja, a Jonin in Konoha, a true elite, just like White Fang in Konoha, just like Golden Flash in the past, and just like my father.
Even if my father died, he was still a genin.
Yes, a genius Jonin doesn't need to dress up like a clown and pretend to be a pig to eat a tiger. But genin don't want to die too early, so they have to choose their opponents well. Especially my father, Lee Luoku and I don't come from a traditional ninjutsu family, and we don't have any bloodstains on us. In my grandfather's father's generation, the Matt family was just a wandering samurai with a family. They fled to the Fire Country, and Konoha was recruiting people, so they stayed and learned to be a ninja like everyone else.
However, for people without ninja bloodline, not everyone can successfully extract the chakra necessary for ninjutsu, and even if they do, they can't use it. So, even if my grandfather is good at fighting and killing, he can only be a genin. Anyway, it's useless to be promoted. Ninja is a hierarchical society, and seniority is important. Who would be willing to accept a taijutsu ninja as their boss and affect their own promotion?
But love isn't so complicated. My grandfather married my grandmother, a real Jonin. They fought side by side and finally died together in the Shinobi World War. Then there's my father. He was similar to most of his peers. He lost his parents when he was young, but it was a blessing in disguise. He was arranged to go to school by the second generation leader and received a very formal ninja education. Although he still couldn't refine Chakra, he also found a Jonin who was willing to spend the rest of her life with him, my mother. My father always said that my mother was a person with bad luck. Obviously, if she held on for two more minutes, the order to retreat would have been sent. In short, she died, leaving me behind. I have three-quarters of the Ninja bloodline. I received a complete and systematic education from Konoha's Ninja Academy since childhood and successfully graduated. I'm the only one in the Matt Family who can refine Chakra that can be used. Although the amount is a little small, it's not a gap anymore.
It's a pity that my father didn't see me become a Chunin, a Jonin, and reach the peak of life, marry a beautiful woman, and become an important person in Konoha.
That was because he had also died in another mission.
It was the year 43 Konoha, the Second Shinobi World War. The war was fierce, and Konoha lost a lot of people, so they couldn't care less about Jonin and Genin. Dai was a 35-year-old Ten Thousand Years Old Shinobi, so he naturally had to be a Chunin or a Jonin. That day, he was running to the Konoha camp with a piece of information and three young genin. Originally, if they encountered an ordinary interception, the four of them would be enough to deal with it. But their luck was too bad, they encountered the "Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist".
The famous ninjas during the war weren't gentle guys like "Copy Ninja Kakashi", "Konoha's Genius Itachi", or "Ghost Zabuza". One by one, they brought out the names of "Sannin", "Konoha's White Fang", and "Golden Flash".
So they ran? There were seven famous Jonins over there, and four cannon fodder Genin over there …
Fortunately, my father has already learned the Hachimon Tonkou, which is a great ninjutsu that breaks the body's limit on chakra. In theory, if you use it to the end, you can obtain more power than Kage, but if you want to use it to the end, you will have to burn your life. So at the cost of his life, Dai actually succeeded in stopping seven famous Jonins, killing two and seriously injuring the other three. At the same time, he also saved the lives of three Genin — Huo Xuanmen, Ebisu, and Metke.
My father did die to save me. Although I really hope that he didn't save me. If I wasn't one of the three Genin, when Konoha judged him as a hero, would he be more noble? After all, risking one's life to save one's son and risking one's life to save one's teammates are two different concepts.
But I still think that even if I wasn't there that day, my dead old man would have also risked his life to save them.
After all, he always taught me: Life is so wonderful, life is so brilliant, every life is a life, and all lives are equal. Even if you are a ninja, you are used to killing people, but you have to understand what you are doing, and what you are killing for.
"It's not to defeat the strong."
Yes, yes, yes, father, I know, I understand, I understand, but now it's a chaotic world, a chaotic world. Konoha has been peaceful for 10 years, but the world is still chaotic. So until now, except for the shameless use of violence, there is still no reason to reason.
"It's to protect the things that are important to you."
Well, father, your most important thing is to never give up and never be afraid of death, and me. Then what about the things that are important to me?
I love my family, my brother, my mother, my father, my son, my daughter. But in my family, other than me, there is only the old tortoise that father's grandfather saved when he was escaping. As for my son and daughter, I don't even have them.
So when I engraved my father's name on the memorial tablet, I started to think, what is mine? Other than that old tortoise, I am mine, my money is mine, my house and house are mine, every blade of grass, tree, table and chair is mine. But even if I die at 100 years old, that old tortoise would still be alive. I am not a farmer, the land is meaningless to me. As for money, house, furniture, and so on, they are still not important. So, what is left for me to protect?
I had to ask Kakashi, the white haired bastard who lived across the street from me was always smarter than me, and he was already like me at the time. Apart from the house, furniture, and a few puppies were the only things left in his house. In the end, Kakashi told me, "Sensei said that we are teammates."
But my teammates … Huo Xuanmen is Konoha's Chief of Staff now. Naruto is not home, so he has the final say in Konoha's affairs. Ebisu, on the other hand, is the home tutor of the third generation's young master, Konoha Maru. Who knows, he might even become Naruto's teacher in the future.
In any case, it turns out that my teammates don't need me.
So, I could only ask Kakashi again, what if my teammates don't need me to protect them?
Kakashi ignored me this time, and the one who answered me was Naruto, the head of the Four Generations. "Then please protect Konoha well. After all, as long as Konoha is here, you will find the things that are important to you one day. I promise."
But many years have passed, and I am still a single tortoise. What? Are you talking about my three disciples? Don't you know whose disciples they are? Let me tell you, the three of them will soon become Chunin, Jounin, and reach the peak of their lives. They will no longer need my protection.
Ah, youth!
But that's fine, it's time for me to get married. Isn't that right, Father? Which Konoha Shinobi do you think I should go after?
The moonlight is perfect.
