Konoha Live: Ninja Society Death Scene

Chapter 225: Can hard work really pay off? (Please subscribe)



"Genius? So what if I'm a genius? Even if I don't have talent, I will work hard to surpass genius!"

"This is my goal! This is my nindo!"

Xiao Li's spirit of refusing to admit defeat made Metkai appreciate him even more, and at the same time he found the youth he wanted to see in Xiao Li.

But Neji stood in front of him with his hands on his waist and looked arrogant, speaking condescendingly:

"It's useless, Xiao Li."

"No matter how hard you try, you can't surpass me. This is destined by God."

Xiao Li retorted stubbornly:

"There is no such thing!"

But everyone knows how feeble what Xiao Li is saying now is.

As the sun sets, everyone goes home to have dinner and reunite with their loved ones. A lonely shadow rises and falls in the forest. That is Xiao Li who is practicing for himself.

"Swipe!"

"If you can't jump rope 1200 times, kick the wooden stake 2000 times."

"1116!"

"Swipe!"

"1117!"

"1118!"

"what!"

The skipping rope got stuck between the thumb and index finger of Xiao Li's toes. Xiao Li suddenly lost his balance, holding the skipping rope tightly with both hands, and fell forward.

Metkai, who was in the grass behind him, tensed up and looked quite concerned.

"Boom!"

Xiao Li bumped his head against the tree trunk, and tears stayed in his eyes, not because of the pain, but because the other side of success was too far away. Xiao Li could hardly see hope. How many times did Xiao Li keep crying in his heart? Hypnotize yourself and tell yourself that as long as you work hard and struggle, even if you don’t know how to use ninjutsu or illusion, you will eventually be able to shine brightly with only physical skills. But in reality, this road is too difficult, so Xiao Li There was little hope.

"Woooooooo..."

Tears kept falling, and Xiao Li kept scolding himself in his heart.

"Xiao Li, you are such a loser. You can't even do a simple skipping rope..."

Ninja World Live Room

Granny Chiyo (Acting Kazekage): The road to success is never that easy. If we really have to rely on hard work to close the gap between geniuses and fools, how easy it is. Without great perseverance, it is impossible to succeed. I really hope that Seeing this young man succeed.

Ai (Fourth Raikage): This reminds me of the time when I trained with Bi. We worked so hard at that time. After all, the war is right in front of us. We practiced day and night, just to be able to Get to the battlefield early.

Ohnoki (Third Tsuchikage): So what kind of problems will arise in this question? I feel that after Metkai, these are not so amazing.

Ao (Kirigakure Ninja Village): Yes, after all, these three people actually have the same experience... I feel a little tired after watching it repeatedly. No one can stand the inspirational story after listening to it three times.

Loess (Iwagakure Ninja Village): Why do I think it’s okay? Isn’t this story quite touching?

Nara Shikaku (Konoha Ninja Village): Don’t be careless. Although the videos of these three rounds are different, if you think about it carefully, you will find that the questions in the second round are actually more difficult than the first round. Many times, and it is also more in-depth, so everyone here, if you are lucky enough to participate in the quiz competition in the future, you must pay attention to some details, because a casual look may be the key to solving the question.

Yamanaka Haiichi (Konoha Ninja Village): Let me go, Shikaku, you are still so thin.

Akimichi Choza (Konoha Ninja Village): I have to say, Brother Shikaku has always been so delicate.

Sarutobi Asuma (Konoha Ninja Village): I think it’s pretty good, no matter how detailed it is.

Kurenai Yuhi (Konoha Ninja Village): Got it!

Terumi Mei (Fifth Mizukage): This ninja from Konoha Ninja Village is right and very useful. You must always stay vigilant. The results of the Q&A space competition are very important. We must give me a chance. You have also seen it. , the enemies you will encounter in the future are so powerful, so please continue to work hard.

Ninja world live broadcast room video is still continuing

Xiao Li was lying on the ground, crying sadly, and a voice came from behind. It turned out that Metkai saw that Xiao Li's confidence was shaken, so he had to stand up.

"Xiao Li, are you ready to rest?"

Everyone in the Ninja World Live Broadcast Room started to complain

Ai (Fourth Raikage): This guy is really bad. Others have worked hard for so long. If you want to rest, you should rest. You can't rest even if you want to.

Ao (Kirigakure Ninja Village); Hahaha, I think Metkai just wants to encourage this young man in a different way. After all, you can tell by the look in Metkai's eyes that he is very optimistic about the young man in front of him.

Tsunade Senju (Fifth Hokage): Kai just wanted to see how strong this young man's perseverance is. Now that he has found the result, of course it will come out. It will be about accepting a disciple.

Q&A space video continues

Hearing the teacher's voice behind him, Xiao Li stood up, did not turn around, but raised his hand to silently shed his tears, tried hard to maintain his voice, and asked:

"Teacher Kai, what can you do?"

After saying that, Xiao Li continued to raise his leg and kick the number sideways.

Metkai said behind him:

"Xiao Li, although you are indeed different from Neji. You can neither use ninjutsu nor genjutsu, nor are you a genius in taijutsu."

As he spoke, the corners of Metkai's mouth raised slightly, because the following words were also words his father had said to him.

"But Lee...you are a genius with abilities and possibilities that surpass Neji."

Of course, Xiao Li would not believe what Teacher Kai said. After all, no one had ever compared himself with the word genius since he was a child. Xiao Li heard more words like trash.

"You don't have to comfort me."

Xiao Li said calmly, minding his own practice of kicking.

Metkai shook his head and continued:

"Idiot, I'm not trying to comfort you."

"Because you...are a genius who works hard."

Xiao Li didn't make a sound. He leaned against the tree trunk and was stunned. What Teacher Kai said was exactly what Xiao Li had always insisted on.

"I...have always believed that."

"As long as I train twice or three times as hard as Neji, I will become stronger..."

Xiao Li's hands holding the tree trunk began to tremble slightly...and then his whole body began to tremble... Xiao Li asked weakly:

“Does hard work really pay off?”

This question has always been a question in Xiao Li's heart. Can hard work really fill the gap in fate? Xiao Li doesn't know. After all, everyone knows that only geniuses can be superior. It seems that everyone has become accustomed to it. Without this method of judgment, Xiao Li will always doubt himself, whether he is too different. In fact, geniuses are destined to be geniuses, and waste will always be waste.

Especially after he had trained hard for such a result, Xiao Li couldn't accept it. He had trained so hard for so long, but in the end he still couldn't keep up with Neji's speed.

Xiao Li is now in great pain. He is crying. He does not want to give up, but this kind of effort without hope is even more painful.

"I have always challenged Neji with this idea, but the result is the same every time..."

"I can't beat him at all..."

"No matter how hard you try, you can't become stronger."

"I'm so scared when I think about this..."

Metkai looked at the young man in front of him with a low gaze, and said seriously every word:

"Guys who don't believe in themselves have no value in their efforts."

"Eh!"

Xiao Li raised his head and was stunned.

It was late at night in a blink of an eye.

"Xiao Li, you are very similar to me."

"Eyebrows?"

"No, it's not just my eyebrows. In fact, I used to be a jerk."

The master and the apprentice were squatting on a big stone and chatting.

Xiao Li looked at Metkai in front of him with disbelief.

"Teacher, you?!"

Metkai continued:

"But now, even in the written test with the elite genius Kakashi, I win more times because I work hard."

Xiao Li looked at Metkai seriously.

The ninjas in the ninja live broadcast room began to make divine comments.

Ai (Fourth Raikage): You work hard when you are young, and in the end you can defeat Kakashi.

Ao (Kirigakure Ninja Village): Because I worked hard, I can defeat Kakashi.

Terumi Mei (Fifth Mizukage): So Kakashi is the standard code to measure whether a ninja works hard or not?

Senju Tsunade (Fifth Hokage): ...How many ninjas must be unqualified...

Ohnoki (Third Tsuchikage): Your statement is too one-sided. Besides, Kakashi is now a Kage-level powerhouse and should be given a certain amount of respect.

Kakashi Hatake (Konoha Ninja Village): That’s right!Why do I become a unit of measurement!

Mifune (Iron Country): Hahaha, I can't help it. Being the target of being chased also describes your excellence from the side, doesn't it? Of course, if you are chased, this will be a bit unclear.

video continues

Metkai said with a serious face:

"Didn't you say that you want to prove that you can become an excellent ninja even if you don't know ninjutsu and genjutsu? This is your nindo, right?"

"So, just believe in the path you have chosen, run forward, and become a man who can make me smile when I look at you!"

"Okay, Xiao Li!"

As he spoke, Metkai put his hand on Xiao Li's head.

Xiao Li's eyes were moist, but he said more forcefully:

"Yes!"

Screen turn

Xiao Li was shirtless, sitting on a hospital bed covered with white sheets. A pair of big hands behind his back were healing his wounds, and then the words of the Fifth Hokage Senju Tsunade fell.

"Such a serious injury...you'd better stop being a ninja..."

Xiao Li's expression was stagnant... Hokage-sama's medical ninjutsu is at the top level today... Even she said so... Could it be that she is getting further and further away from her dream... It took a lot of effort to get to this point. ..Xiao Li is not reconciled...

"Boom! Boom!"

In the picture, Xiao Li is leaning on a cane, supporting his body, and waving his right fist desperately...

"Teacher Akai...I won't give up just because of this little injury."

Ninja World Live Room

Mei Terumi (The Fifth Mizukage): It seems that this servant endured a serious injury...

Onoki (Third Tsuchikage): Was this section skipped?

Ai (Fourth Raikage): I don’t know... I feel like something must have happened in the meantime...

Granny Chiyo (acting for Kazekage): Let’s continue reading. I feel like there will be explanations later, and it won’t be so confusing.

The Ninja World Live Room video continues to play.

Xiao Li, who was lying on the hospital bed, grabbed a green pill, thought for a moment and then swallowed it.

"Teacher Kai...what is this super bitter meatball..."

Xiao Li looked in pain, his mouth stopped chewing, and the hand holding the meatball began to twitch. It was obvious that the meatball in his hand was extremely unpalatable.

Metkai, holding a plate at the side, smiled and said:

"Xiao Li, this is a special pill I made for you. It's called a special youth pill. As long as you take a hundred pills, your injury will definitely heal."

Xiao Li believed it was true, reached out and grabbed a handful of pills and stuffed them into his mouth. He said while holding the pills:

"I see. If I don't eat a hundred pills, I won't get better."

As he spoke, Xiao Li crazily stuffed the pills in his hand into his mouth. Although it was very painful, he would not hesitate as long as it could make him feel better.

The screen turns again.

Xiao Li's left hand is covered with bandages, as is his left leg, but Xiao Li is still holding on with one hand in the open space of the hospital.

"Do 200 push-ups with one hand. If you can't do that, do 100 squats with one leg."

Xiao Li was covered in bandages, and it looked like he had suffered quite a few injuries.

"twenty three..."

"what..."

Even though his whole body was shaking, even though he was exhausted, Xiao Li still persisted...

The medical staff beside him ran over and shouted to Xiao Li:

"Xiao Li, stop it! Xiao Li!"

Haruno Sakura and Yamanaka Ino, who also came to visit Xiao Li, stopped aside.

The medical staff wanted to help Xiao Li up.

"Xiao Li..."

"Please don't touch me!"

"Please don't hinder my practice..."

The medical staff was stunned... She had never encountered such a patient in her career...

But the two female ninjas behind Xiao Li knew that this was Xiao Li's insistence... They just looked at it with worried faces...

"twenty three..."

"twenty three..."

"what!!"

Xiao Li kept thinking about the shadows of those people in his mind. Those were the goals he wanted to chase.

"Sasuke Uchiha.."

"Hyuuga Neji..."

"I love Luo..."

"Uzumaki Naruto..."

Thinking of this, my body surged with strength. . .

"197!"

"twenty three..."

"I'm not done yet.."

"My youth...how could my youth...how could it end here!"

"199..."

"thump..."

Xiao Li fell heavily to the ground... His eyes were full of unwillingness...

"Why...why...I don't want to give up...but...has my youth burned out here..."

"Teacher Kai... I... I'm sorry... I still couldn't complete 200 one-handed push-ups..."

The camera flashed back to that golden afternoon. Xiao Li hugged the tree trunk and spoke out about the demon he was most afraid of, which was the weakest place in his heart.

"Will hard work really pay off?"

"I have always had a dream. I firmly believe that as long as I work harder than geniuses, twice or three times, as long as I pay more... I will one day be able to surpass them... But the result is the same every time...",

"I can't beat him at all...my feet still shake when doing tasks..."

"No matter how hard you try, you can't become stronger..."

"I'm so scared when I think about this..."

The big screen suddenly went black

[Will hard work really pay off?Is fate really determined long ago? 】

[Isn’t all the hard work worth the word genius? 】
