Chapter 26: What To Do if My Teacher Is Too Rebellious?
"You wanted me to leave and now you want to stop me. Do you think that this is a game?" Makoto looked at Asuma with a half-smile but not a smile.
"Can't you discuss it with me? Why don't we each take a step back, I don't want to be so demanding, and then you have to listen to me in class." Asuma and Makoto discussed.
It's not that he doesn't want to be taught, it's just that he is a little rebellious and he doesn't want to accept his old father's arrangements.
"No, no, no, it's not your fault that you have high demands. It's my lack of ability to meet your demands, so I'd better leave." After hearing Asuma's suggestion, Makoto turned around and left.
"Okay, don't listen to me anymore. Don't leave yet." Seeing that Makoto was about to walk out of the backyard, Asuma quickly stopped her again, and he also obeyed Makoto.
"Then we can go to class?" Makoto asked with a smile.
To deal with a rebellious student like Asuma, one must be more rebellious than him and defeat magic with magic.
"Forget it, let's do that. What do you want to teach?" Asuma was at a loss for a while.
In his mind, he should have spoken out to persuade him to retreat, and then Makoto would have discussed it with him, and he would have taken the initiative.
Although he was indifferent to his identity and even hated it, he had to deny that his identity as the son of Hokage did provide him with a lot of conveniences.
Makoto looked around, and then said: "Let's go train outside, it's not very convenient here."
Makoto went to Biwako mentioned it and took Asuma to a small forest with a river.
"Let's test your chakra control ability first. Try climbing a tree." Makoto found a taller tree and said to Asuma.
"Climbing a tree? That's easy. Let me climb it for you." Asuma rolled his eyes, smiled, and thought of a good idea.
He walked to the tall and strong tree, and instead of using chakra, he climbed to the top of the tree using his hands and feet like a nimble monkey.
Asuma shouted with a triumphant expression, "Look how fast I can climb trees."
Of course, he knew what Makoto meant by climbing trees, but he just didn't want to cooperate, on purpose.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was using a crystal ball to observe how Makoto would teach Asuma, fell silent and rubbed his forehead helplessly.
Although he was nicknamed Monkey before, he had never done this before. What happened?
"Climbs very fast and has good limb strength." Makoto did not get as angry as Asuma imagined but instead praised with a smile.
Then Makoto found a relatively slender tree, cut off the branches of the tree, and then poured oil on it. He looked at Asuma with a smile and said, "Just think of it as a warm-up, let's start climbing the tree in earnest. ."
Asuma looked at the thin tree that was as bare as a stick, with oil still flowing on it, and couldn't help but twitch. No matter how good he was at climbing such a tree, he couldn't climb it with his bare hands.
"It doesn't matter if you can't climb up. Admitting one's shortcomings is also a sign of courage." Makoto Youyou said.
"Whoever can't climb up, don't underestimate me." Asuma, a nine-year-old kid who had just graduated, couldn't stand the excitement. He directly attached chakra to his feet and walked steadily to the top of the tree step by step.
"The control ability is pretty good." Makoto nodded, not too surprised.
Then Makoto took Asuma to the river.
"Since climbing trees is no problem, let's try to see if we can walk on water." Makoto pointed to the river and continued to test Asuma's chakra control ability.
After all, except for those with extraordinary talents, ordinary people only have so much chakra. Improving utilization is a good way to increase strength.
"If you can stand on the water for ten minutes without falling into the water this time, you can train whatever you want in the future." Makoto came up with a condition to motivate Asuma.
"This is what you said, don't go back on it." Asuma said with a happy face. He was still thinking about how to deal with this hateful teacher, but he didn't expect Makoto to take the initiative to expose him.
Isn't it just treading water? It may be a bit difficult for other newly graduated genin, but it is average for Asuma.
With a confident expression, Asuma gathered chakra on the soles of her feet, walked to the river, and walked leisurely on the river. The river was not big, only twenty meters wide.
"That hateful old man is too controlling. He even graduated and became a ninja and still needs a tutor." Asuma muttered.
He was really looking forward to the look on his face when he went home and told the Third Hokage tutor that his teacher had agreed to his free training.
Suddenly, Asuma felt something was wrong. He looked down and found that the calm river suddenly became turbulent.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu!"
Asuma looked again, and it turned out that Makoto had used the Water Release Ninjutsu on the bank, creating a water dragon that rolled back and forth in the river, causing the river to surge.
"Oh, what are you doing?" A splash of water arose, and Asuma almost fell into the water uncontrollably, and couldn't help but say.
"I will help you simulate a battle scene. The river will not be as calm as usual during the battle." Makoto said with a smile.
"By the way, I will also practice water escape myself. There are rivers and trees here, which is a good environment for practicing water escape."
"Of course, if you think it's not possible, Asuma, I can also stop. After all, I admit my shortcomings. It is also a manifestation of wisdom." Makoto repeated his old tricks.
Asuma swallowed what he wanted to say.
He just wants to prove that he can do it, and he doesn't need a tutor or the arrangements of three generations to do this. Of course, he can't admit that he can't do it.
So Asuma concentrated on controlling chakra to prevent falling into the water.
But chakra control cannot be improved in an instant, and the sudden waves of water will also test your physical skills.
Asuma struggled to hold on for five minutes, but finally accidentally fell into the water and was instantly picked up by Makoto.
"It seems that your chakra control ability still needs to be improved, so you can't start free training." Makoto said with a regretful look.
"If you hadn't interfered with water escape, how could I have fallen into the water." Asuma retorted somewhat unconvinced.
"Don't you expect the enemy not to use ninjutsu to attack you during the battle?" Makoto said lightly.
"No, I have to do it again!" Asuma became angrier and decided to prove himself.
Facts have proved that you may not be able to solve math problems if you are anxious, but the battle may indeed be explosive. This time Asuma persisted for seven minutes, three minutes shy of completing the ten-minute achievement.
After Asuma rested for a while, he couldn't wait to call Makoto to come again. The third time, he persisted for seven and a half minutes.
In the end, Asuma managed to hold on for ten minutes as the sun was about to set.
"I succeeded!" Asuma shouted excitedly, and then he lost control of his chakra and fell into the water and drank a mouthful of river water.
When Makoto picked Asuma up, Asuma still had excitement on his face.
"Then I can practice whatever I want." Asuma wiped off the water stains on his face and said happily.
"Who told you?" Makoto looked at Asuma with a strange expression.
The smile on Asuma's face froze, and then asked: "Didn't you say that you can train freely after ten minutes?"
"Yes." Makoto nodded, and then said: "But what I said is, 'This time ', that is, when you did it for the first time, you didn't succeed the first time."
Asuma recalled it, and it seemed to be true!
Then why is he working so hard to persevere?
Due to physical fatigue and severe mental trauma, Asuma almost rolled his eyes and fainted.
Being pissed off by the rebellious teacher.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was peeping from time to time, also touched his beard and felt that Makoto's teaching ability was indeed powerful.
In the afternoon of training, Asuma's body skills and chakra control abilities have been tempered.
"We must fight back tomorrow!" Asuma vowed secretly in his heart. Today he felt like he had been teased all afternoon.
