I Can Become Stronger Just By Teaching

Chapter 33: Asuma’s Perseverance



  "Teacher Makoto, when will I start the practice of changing nature? Recently, I have been reading the manual you gave me every night, and I really want to practice it." On the river Obito asked as he walked around.

  It's really boring to climb trees and tread water every day.

  Moreover, Makoto's nature change manual really inspired him, and he instantly felt that he was ready to use fire escape.

  "Do you think treading water is boring? Are you almost done practicing?" Makoto asked with a smile on his face.

  "Yeah." Obito nodded quickly. He could already trot on the water.

  "Okay then, let me test your skills and help you make treading water more interesting." Makoto formed seals quickly and his chakra exploded.

  "Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

  A huge water dragon formed quickly, and then rolled in the river, causing the calm water surface to become turbulent in an instant, and causing big waves from time to time.

  *Splash*

  Obito accidentally fell and swallowed a lot of water.

  Makoto fished Obito out in an instant and said with a smile, "Look, you still haven't mastered water walking."

  "Teacher Makoto, how can I withstand such a sudden attack from you," Obito complained.

  There was a classmate and a family member present, and he still wanted to save face.

  "Then you come and try again." Makoto smiled.

  Treading water is a test of the ninja's ability to continuously output chakra. There are distractions from water dragon bullets, and he has to pay attention to dodging the waves. In this case, he can maintain stable and continuous output, which shows that his chakra control ability is very good.

  Obito's mouth was very tough, but his strength was not. He fell into the water again within a few minutes.

  "The shoes I wore today didn't fit my feet, and it affected me." Obito spat out the river water in his mouth and explained, then put the shoes on the shore and walked barefoot on the water.

  Makoto smiled slightly and said nothing.

  After a while, Obito fell into the water again.

  "Oh, I probably read too late yesterday, so I'm not energetic today. No wonder I made so many mistakes."

  Obito stretched his limbs, twisted his neck, rolled up his sleeves, his eyes became serious, and said, "Next, we have to be serious. Yeah."

  *Plop!*

  The sound of a body hitting the water sounded again.

  After Makoto quickly fished Obito out, Obito's eyes were dull, his face lost expression, and he stopped talking.

  "Brother Obito, it's okay. I know that you want to learn how to swim." Shisui comforted.

  Obito covered his face with his hands and said, "Shisui, please shut up."

  "Do you feel that your performance is too poor?" Makoto squatted next to Obito without looking at him. Instead, look into the distance.

  As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison.

  Before Obito started training on control abilities, Shisui had already started.

  And Shisui progressed very quickly. He skipped climbing trees at the beginning, and treading water later was also easy. He could persist on the water for a long time even with Makoto's interference.

  With the performance of Shisui, a clan brother, Obito will always be tough. He admits that he may not be as good as Shisui, but he shouldn't be that much worse.

  "Actually, I left last week on the weekend afternoon because I went to be a tutor at the Hokage's house." Makoto said.

  "The Hokage has a younger son. You should also know him. Sarutobi Asuma is only one year older than you."

  Obito nodded, indeed he knew him.   

  "When he was training on treading water, I also interfered with my use of water dragon bombs. He fell into the water at least dozens of times throughout the afternoon. Finally, on the last time, he lasted for five minutes."

  "Asuma, he actually..." Obito didn't expect it

  Asuma, who was a top student in the ninja school, was actually so miserable, and he actually persisted in such a miserable situation for an entire afternoon.

  Obito was a little impressed with Asuma. When they met before, he never found him to be so persistent.

  "Teacher, I understand. I'm ready to rest. Let's start practicing!" Obito took a deep breath and said brightly.

  Asuma can persistent, why can't he persevere? His goal is to defeat Kakashi in front of Rin and win the first place!

  "Eat something and then practice." Makoto handed Obito a portion of the dumplings he bought earlier.

  "Well, thank you, teacher!" Obito shouted energetically, quickly finished the dumplings and walked into the river.

  [You gave the disciple red bean dumplings, and because the disciple was very grateful, he was rewarded with a critical hit, and obtained the skill chef]

  [Chef: The food you make is so delicious that it can cause hallucinations]

  "Hey, I actually exploded a skill, and it's a life-related skill." Makoto was a little surprised.

  Although it was said that the objects returned by the disciples were occasionally quite random, and Might Gai was proficient in the ability to explode water properties, but he didn't understand Obito's explosion of a chef.

  But it doesn't stop Makoto from being happy, because judging from the skill introduction, this skill is very powerful.

  Cooking delicious food is a big plus.

  If he had this skill earlier, he could just pretend that the cooking equipment at home was damaged, and then go to Minato's house to cook and show off his extraordinary cooking skills. Maybe Kushina and Minato would take the initiative to make friends with him.

  You can also quickly increase your disciple's favorability. Who wouldn't like a teacher who has excellent teaching quality and is also an excellent cook.

  After all the disciples completed their training, Makoto returned to the main city of Konoha early. He wanted to try out how delicious the dishes made with his new skills were.

  Makoto chose two dishes, one was egg fried rice and the other was fried tempura.

  He has also fried egg fried rice before. He prefers to eat things with eggs, but he has never made fried tempura.

  From the moment he picked up the egg, Makoto felt a mysterious feeling coming over him. Although the steps were still the same as before, everything was just right.

  After the egg fried rice was finished, Makoto was a little lost looking at the egg fried rice, which was clearly golden and emitting a faint golden light.

  He wondered why he didn't put any fluorescent powder when frying, so it still seemed to be glowing.

  Makoto took a spoon and took a bite. The tenderness of the eggs, the elasticity of the rice, and the fragrance of the chopped green onions all burst into his mouth. He had never eaten such delicious egg fried rice.

  Makoto even vaguely saw a majestic chicken running and flying on the grass, so free and joyful.

  "It's so delicious that you'll have hallucinations." Makoto shook his head and quickly woke up.

  Makoto changed into a frying pan and started preparing to fry tempura.

  Make the batter first, then heat the oil in a pan, stick the shrimps that have been processed in advance on the coat, and put them in the pan to fry.

  Soon, the tempura coating began to change color, and a unique aroma of frying filled the kitchen and drifted into the distance.

  Makoto picked up the tempura based on his feeling, then put it on the plate and brought it to the table.

  When Makoto picked up a piece of tempura and was about to taste it, there was a knock on the door.
