MM Racing Chapter 44 Light Bulb Psychotherapy
Chapter 44 Light Bulb Psychotherapy
"The signature ramen is fine."
When someone else is treating you to dinner, it's best to order inexpensive ramen.
Kazuhiko knew he wouldn't eat Kai out of house and home, but since both of them ordered the signature dishes, it would be incredibly inconsiderate for him, a freeloader, to order a deluxe set meal.
Seeing that Kakashi had no intention of communicating, Kazuhiko looked at Guy and asked, knowing the answer already:
"Kai, why do you always set strange rules before you do something?"
Kai paused for a moment, then burst into laughter:
"Hahaha, finally someone asked the question! You really know how to get to the point!"
[Matt Kai's affection for you has increased]
He did a backflip from his seat, landed steadily, then leaned close to Kazuhiko, lowering his voice as if sharing some earth-shattering secret:
"Since you've so sincerely asked for my advice, I'll be frank with you. However, you must keep it a secret from others, and that is..."
He cleared his throat, put his hands on his hips, and assumed a lecturing posture.
Kazuhiko was speechless. Is this how you ask someone to keep a secret?
Are you afraid that no one in this noodle shop can hear you?
"Simply put, it's about practicing the art of exchanging victories. It involves customizing the rules."
"Listen carefully. The key point of this rule is that when you want to challenge something, you deliberately put yourself in an overly demanding situation, creating 'shackles'."
Kai held up five fingers and waved them in front of Kazuhiko:
"For example, if you lose a game of rock-paper-scissors, you have to run 500 laps. Behind these hellish rules lies a power that can summon a heavenly future: 'Just run 500 laps and you can defeat Kakashi!'"
His eyes shone brightly, as if he were proclaiming some great truth:
"In other words, there's a 'shackle' of 500 rounds. Even in a simple game like rock-paper-scissors, you have to give it your all, which is one of the advantages. Plus, if you lose, just completing these 500 rounds will also train you—that's the ultimate two-pronged preparation!"
Why do I feel like I'm seeing Xiao Tian?
Should I take out my notebook and start taking notes?
Looking at Kai's serious face, Kazuhiko felt a pang of emotion.
In times like these, you create your own "winning philosophy," and then you say you're not a genius!
"I see. Using the 'shackles' to gain the belief that you must win is a win; losing still allows you to train yourself, which is another win; through relentless training, you've taken another step closer to defeating Kakashi, which is a triple win!"
Kazuhiko suddenly realized and decisively gave a thumbs up:
"I understand now. From the moment you set those strange rules, Kakashi had already lost this 'duel of youth'!"
"Kai, you actually invented this kind of 'youth winning philosophy' where you're either winning or on your way to winning. You truly are a genius!"
"I believe that one day Kakashi will be trampled under your feet!"
Kai hugged Kazuhiko tightly and burst into tears on the spot.
"Kazuhiko, you really... Waaaaah..."
[Matt Kai's affection level towards you has increased significantly to: Friendly (Finally, someone understands my youth!)]

Kakashi, who was eating noodles, felt offended.
What does it mean that "Kakashi has already lost" or "Kakashi will be trampled underfoot"?
You Uchihata, did you not grow the Sharingan?
Can't you see I've already won and am eating noodles?
Seeing the two of them with their arms around each other, Kakashi felt like he was the third party, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
Hey, the noodles you ate were the ones I won back, you bastard!
And you, Kai!
The one who will fight you in your youth is me, not that Uchiha named Kazuhiko!
"Now I finally understand why Kakashi is so famous in the ninja world."
Kazuhiko looked at Kai with a sincere expression:
"It's because you're constantly chasing after him that he's able to keep pushing himself and becoming stronger!"
"You are Kakashi's relentless pursuer, and also the testing ground on his path to genius."
"I'm so envious. Kakashi has a partner like you."
Kai continued to break down in tears, and the sheer volume of his tears soaked Kazuhiko completely.
Who says Guy can't use ninjutsu?
What else could this be but Water Release?
[Kai's affection for you has increased significantly to: Trust (A true friend is hard to find in life; I am not alone on the road of youth!)]
[Chonnin-level entry draw chance +1]
Kazuhiko:……
So what if I get wet?
If it's for the chance to draw the Jonin title...
I do.
Kakashi was stunned.
A lot came to mind in an instant.
The gloom of his father's suicide, the grief of his comrades' sacrifice, the sorrow of his master and mistress's death in battle...
Throughout these painful memories, Kai remained by his side, clinging to him relentlessly and never leaving his side.
It turns out that the person I thought was an "idiot" was actually my most precious companion!
Kakashi's affection for you has increased significantly to: Friendly (People who don't appreciate their comrades are really awful...)
[Kakashi's Independent Affix Summoning Pool Now Open]
[Chonnin-level entry draw chance +1]
Kazuhiko was very satisfied.
Who says psychotherapy can only be done in one-on-one conversations?
How about trying light bulb therapy?
After the three finished eating the noodles, Kai paid the bill and then saw the two off as they left the village to carry out their mission.
"That's enough for now. I should start my 500 laps around the village!"
Kai gave the two a thumbs-up, grinned, and set off without any hesitation.
"Goodbye," Kazuhiko said goodbye. "Let's meet again when you're back! Let's train together sometime..."
Kai paused, looking at Kazuhiko with anticipation:
"Really?"
Kazuhiko was just being polite before leaving; he was always adept at handling interpersonal relationships.
If Zhen trains with Kai, it could lead to someone's death!
But faced with Kai's sincere gaze, he could only bite the bullet and say:
"Of course...it's true. Your father, Might Guy, is a great hero of Konoha, and you are the Blue Beast of Konoha. I'm actually quite curious about your taijutsu training methods."
The air suddenly became quiet.
Kai lowered his head, his body trembling slightly.
then
"Waaaaah... Ah!"
He jumped to his feet, tears streaming down his face, rushed over and hugged He Yan tightly, patting his back forcefully:
"Kazuhiko! You bastard!"
"Although you are someone I acknowledge, if we cultivate together, I will also work hard to train you!"
[Matt Kai's affection for you has increased significantly]
As Kazuhiko was attacked by water-style magic again, his back went numb from being slapped.
"Actually, I'm just curious and want to know..."
He really hadn't considered training with Kai.
The idea of running 500 laps around the village at the slightest disagreement is actually not suitable for the Uchiha clan.
Kai was completely absorbed in his own self-pity, ignoring everything else, and burst into tears.
Kakashi watched this scene, his exposed eye widening slightly.
Do you know how he trains? Are you curious?
He turned his head, his gaze lingering on Kazuhiko for three seconds, and then suddenly thought of something.
This is actually a good thing!
If this Uchiha distracts Guy, then he won't have the energy to bother me!
Kakashi felt inexplicably relaxed.
