Chapter 1162: Literature Appreciation Conference
The Anbu took action. Kakashi followed his master's wife secretly with a mask on his face. His current mission was to protect Uzumaki Kushina and prevent her from getting into trouble.
In the Third War, Kakashi lost a lot and had an unsolvable darkness in his heart. Minato Namikaze was afraid that his apprentice would be upset, so he arranged him to join the Anbu to keep him busy and not recall the sadness of the war.
Unfortunately, in the deserted night, Kakashi couldn't help but remember Uchiha Obito and Lin. One of them taught his companions the importance of sacrifice, and the other taught him to sacrifice himself.
At the beginning, the three of them went to the battlefield under the leadership of their teacher, but in the end only he survived. Kakashi felt that he was despicable and a coward.
The appreciation meeting would definitely attract the prying eyes of spies, and Kakashi must protect the safety of his master's wife. Now he knows that Duran is a teacher at the ninja school, and he also teaches many adult ninjas. Even the third generation respects him very much.
On this day, the Uchiha and Hyuga clans also attended on time. It seems that they all attach great importance to this event. Because if Duran wins, they will have face when they go out in the future.
Although Konoha is strong, that is only in terms of military strength, and military strength cannot make them gain the respect of others from the bottom of their hearts. But if Duran can surpass the celebrities of the Wind Country in literature, then Konoha Village will be a place where both civil and military are combined, where the spiritual energy of the world gathers, and it will be glorious to go out.
Namikaze Minato also came, and it was rare for him to put down his work and steal half a day of leisure.
"Come on, teacher." It was Uchiha Shisui who pulled Uchiha Itachi to come and cheer for Duran.
There were really a lot of people coming. Today was a holiday for students and businessmen, and they all came to join in the fun. Even the children in the orphanage were watching strongly under the leadership of the dean.
The Sandaime sat in the VIP seat with a smile: "Look, Namikaze, there are not fewer people here than when you first took office."
"Please forgive me, Sandaime. This literary appreciation meeting is related to the reputation of the two countries. Such a grand occasion shows that everyone in the village loves the village very much and values the Land of Fire."
Namakaze Minato is also becoming more and more good at speaking official language. He has really grown a lot: "If it weren't for Duran, I'm afraid none of those literati would set foot in Konoha." "Fourth generation, although we are Hokage, we are just bargaining chips that can be sacrificed in their eyes. But they can sacrifice us at will, but we can't despise our own lives."
"I remember."
In fact, it is a very strange setting that ninjas in this world don't attack the daimyo. If the kind-hearted Kages like the Sandaime and the Fourth generation can tolerate the daimyo's tyranny, it's fine. It's really strange that the ambitious people in other villages can tolerate it. It is estimated that they just treat the daimyo as an ATM. Anyway, it doesn't matter who manages the money. If the daimyo dies, he will have to support another one. It is estimated that they don't kill the daimyo because they are afraid of trouble.
However, the shadows of the five major ninja villages were still very restrained and admitted that the status of the daimyo was higher than their own.
Duran saw many familiar faces. Although they are still young now, they will all be figures who will influence the continent in the future. For example, Kabuto Yakushi, Itachi Uchiha, Kakashi Hatake, and Naruto Uzumaki who has not yet been born.
The article appreciation meeting officially began, and Duran and Douluosha appeared.
In the first round, they selected an article they had written before to explain.
Douluosha chose "Ode to Sandstorm", which basically praised the strong sandstorms in the Wind Country. It was the sandstorm that created the unyielding character of the people of the Wind Country. He was strong and the sandstorms crossed the hills. It stated the inevitable relationship between the sandstorm and the national character of the Wind Country. It seemed to be describing the scenery, but it was actually describing people, praising the hardworking and brave spirit of the people of the Wind Country.
It was very well written and well said. No wonder this article praising the Wind Country can be liked by readers all over the continent.
It took ten minutes to briefly talk about it, and it was also applauded. The fourth and third generations couldn't help applauding, and the judges nodded repeatedly.
This scene reminded Duran of the experts in the lecture. The same content can be given all over the country. It is estimated that such explanations have been given dozens of times, if not hundreds of times. They are very experienced.
The other party's article has a time basis and a wide audience. How can I compare with him? Forget it, there are still two chances anyway, so I'll just talk about it casually this time.
So Duran chose Cao Cao's "I would rather let the world betray me than let the world betray me" in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms to explain Cao Cao's inner thoughts at that time. Although it is also very good, it is out of touch with life. What's the point of taking a novel character to talk about it?
Douluosha won the first game.
Sure enough, he is just a straw bag. How can this person, who is so young and has no life experience, produce so many good works? It must be plagiarism.
Duran felt strange. Why did the other party look at him like this? As if he wanted to eat him, did he have a grudge against him?
"If I were you, I would apologize to the scholars in the world early and admit that all my works were stolen, so that you would not be embarrassed after being exposed by me." Douluosha saw Duran and himself looking at each other and spoke coldly.
Oh, Duran dislikes this kind of people the most. Even if he copied it, so what? He also worked hard to move these beautiful words from other worlds to this world. Why can't he get off the stage? Porters also work very hard.
"Old man, the game has just started, you don't have to be too confident." Duran said: "Let's start the second game."
Duran lost the first round, and the people in Konoha Village didn't look good. They cheered for Duran and hoped that Duran would show his true ability. Many people have listened to Duran's class, and Duran's level is definitely more than that.
"The teacher may be nervous." Uchiha Shisui said to Itachi: "It is also possible that he let the other party win on purpose. This is called respecting the old and loving the young."
Uchiha Itachi did not understand very well, but he felt that Duran did not try his best. He knew it from the other party's expression. He was at ease without a trace of impatience. He knew that Duran would definitely win.
Calligraphy, Duran will not lose.
Cursive script, official script, regular script, thin gold style, rock style, willow style, change the style. Who let this world also use brushes? No one in this world can beat Duran in using brushes.
The characters are like swimming dragons, with force penetrating the back of the paper, vigorous and powerful, with both form and meaning, and the characters are eclipsed by the world.
Click, when Duran wrote the first word, Dou Luosha could no longer move the pen. He only felt that there was a constant glow from Duran's paper. He had never seen such magnificent calligraphy.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Dou Luosha didn't dare to write in front of Duran: "I lost." He looked ten years older in an instant. He actually lost to the ninja in calligraphy. He threw the pen aside, staggered two steps and said tremblingly: "From now on, I will never write again. I am really ashamed."
... Duran thought to himself that the old man would not vomit blood, right? He just wrote a few words and scared him like this. Tsk tsk, this old man's spirit is not like this: "The appreciation meeting was originally just a literary exchange. Moreover, it is really amazing for an old man to compete until he stops writing."
Since he was disrespectful to the elderly, Duran was not polite, and his expression was very annoying.
