Chapter 16: Apprenticeship (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation, Ask for Reward)
In the morning, Konoha Ninja School.
Semester 1 Throwing Final Exam:
Dangdang!
Three soft sounds in succession, almost in no particular order.
The three jet-black kunai were already firmly nailed to the target in front of Hinata Ningji.
"Hinata Ningji, throwing skills are very good!" The ninja school instructor who recorded on the side nodded with satisfaction, and sighed in his heart that he was worthy of being the eldest son of the Hyuga clan, and he was really talented!
It's not just the teacher's admiration, the girls in the Hokage world are too precocious, and Hinata Ningji's clean and neat movements caused a group of little not far away to scream.
"Ning Ci is so handsome!"
"I've seen it, I've seen it. He's looking at me, Ning Ci is looking at me, woo, so shy! ”
"Nonsense, Ning Ci is looking at me, you dead nymphomaniac."
"It's really good-looking, strong, and the family background is impeccable!"
In this world of constant war, objectively speaking, children mature early, because they are going to get married at the age of seventeen, eighteen or even twelve or thirteen, so it is not an exaggeration to have a sense of love and worship at this age. However, Ning Ci has grown from handsome to big, and he is really too popular.
On the other side of the exam room, a group of boys were also screaming in amazement.
"Li Luo, throwing skills are very good!"
"Exaggeration, this can't be, right? How did he progress so fast? ”
"Although it's not like Hinata Ningji throws three kunai at the same time, but the speed of the throw is also very fast, I don't think he has much aim, Li Luo is not from the ninja family, and no one teaches him after school, how can he improve so fast?"
"I don't know!"
The faint exclamation from there made Hinata Ningji also glance to the side, just opposite Li Luo's gaze.
I saw that this watermelon-headed and thick-eyebrow boy who didn't have any impression was stunned for a moment, and then gave himself a thumbs up and grinned.
(Uh, am I familiar with you?) Because today is the final exam, Hinata's Ningji is the real body, and the strength of the shadow clone is far inferior to the real body after all, if the exam is smashed, it is not a joke to make the Hyuga family lose face.
"Hinata Ningji, knock down the opponent, and the physical fighting is very ten!"
"Li Luo, knock down the opponent, the physical fighting is very good!"
However, Li Luo's outstanding performance only stopped there, except for the two items of throwing and physical fighting, Li Luo's other discipline scores could not be compared with Ning Ci at all, and soon, the total score was far away, and Ning Ci no longer paid attention to Li Luo.
However, the great improvement of throwing, physical arts and cultural classes has allowed Li Luo to directly get rid of the results of the crane tail of the class, there is no ninjutsu practice and illusion practice in the first grade, only ninjutsu theory and illusion theory study, Li Luo's results in these two subjects are also not bad, which makes his total score directly enter the top ten ranks of the class.
At the end of the first semester, after class.
Li Luo ran to the meeting point excitedly with his schoolbag and saw Naruto who was constantly practicing the basic twelve ninja seals.
"Naruto, Naruto, I'm ninth, ninth in the class, Ningji has looked at me, this is the best score I've ever taken!" Li Luo was born as an orphan, and he had no one to share his joy with, except for the friend in front of him.
"Well, that's good, that's amazing! So what's next? Let's go out for a day? ”
"No, I want to continue to strengthen my exercise, although Ning Ci and I are both very good at throwing and physical skills, but he is obviously much better than me, the three kunai didn't look at it, and he threw it with his hand, fast, accurate and ruthless, if I slack off, I'm afraid I will soon be left far behind by him." For Naruto's proposal, Xiao Li directly refused, in his eyes...... No, his whole body burned with high fighting spirit, as if a volcano was about to erupt.
"This answer is really in line with your personality, okay, then continue to strengthen the exercise." Xiao Li didn't want to relax his efforts, and Naruto was of course with him to the end.
A person's progress can be addictive, many people just started to go to the gym in order to pick up girls, and then they became addicted to iron, and they only had iron in their eyes every day, and they lost interest in girls.
Therefore, it is really easy to get a foundation for overdoing fitness, and everyone takes it as a warning.
Hitting trees, push-ups, squats, skipping rope, after a series of exercises, it is the physical sparring between Naruto and Li Luo, although the eldest of the two is six years old, and the younger is only five years old, but because they can extract chakra, they can fight quickly, rabbits rise and fall, and jump and jump, which is quite watchable.
Of course, you can extract chakra in the first grade, which is a very good result among civilian ninjas, which is why Li Luo's achievements in the original book can still graduate from the ninja school and have not been brushed down.
Many civilian children have studied for three years, and their grades in other subjects are good, and they even rank among the top in cultural classes, but they have never been able to complete the extraction of chakra, and people like this can only be said to have no ninja talent at all, and they have wasted three years of time in vain.
The kung fu that Naruto and Li Luo are practicing now is the basic body technique of Konoha, that is, the kind of non-technical punching method whose main function is for training, not a fighting boxing method, so there is basically no such content as a vital attack.
The physical arts that are really used to kill people are either taught privately by particularly outstanding students, teachers/elders, or after the age of nine, they are actually studied in the last three years of the ninja school. In peacetime, Konoha aspiring ninja children entered school at the age of six and graduated at the age of twelve.
Therefore, Naruto and Rock Lee are fighting beautifully at this moment, with stretched movements and smooth moves, but in the eyes of a true ninja, it is not worth mentioning, and it can only be said that the basic skills are very solid.
After all, Naruto's body is the soul of an adult, and he has a lot of thoughts about enduring pain and fighting, so after more than ten rounds of fighting, Naruto relied on his own training for many years, and his physique was arrogant, and he suddenly destroyed the routine, and smashed his fist hard, Li Luo was completely unprepared, so under the chaotic punch, his cheeks and lower abdomen were very heavy a few times, and he was directly knocked to the ground.
"Haha, Xiao Li, you must be flexible and flexible in martial arts, you can't pay too much attention to routines, and when you are in actual combat, you still aim to win or lose." Naruto smiled and walked over and pulled Xiao Li up.
"Well, it's true, Naruto is still you, I'm too brainy, and the teacher said the same about me."
However, Li Luo's words did not get a response from Naruto, Li Luo looked up, but saw Naruto staring blankly in the direction behind him, he followed the other party's gaze, and saw a strong man in a green vest with a serious face walking over.
"You...... Hello. Although he didn't know each other, Li Luo also knew that the other party was a ninja of Konoha and an extremely noble person for himself and Naruto.
However, as soon as Li Luo finished bowing and giving a salute, he saw the man in front of him suddenly punch out, and directly knocked Naruto behind him out, he shot extremely hard, Naruto's entire face was deformed, and he flew out like a cannonball.
"What are you doing?" Seeing that Naruto was defeated, Li Luo's brain was hot, and he didn't care about the difference in strength and status between the two sides, and he turned around and kicked the opponent fiercely, which was the most powerful trick he had mastered. However, he was casually erected by the other party and easily parried down.
(Maitkai this neurotic!) Call...... People are under the eaves, and Lao Tzu endures it. Standing up with his cheeks covered, Naruto was very clear about the identity of the other party and the gap between the strength levels of the two sides, and when he got up and saw that Li Luo was easily put down, he didn't attack again, but ran over and hugged Li Luo, who was curled up on the ground and was about to climb towards Maitkai, and dragged him back, although Maitkai was strong, but his brain was not very good, and we couldn't afford to fight with a fool.
"Do you know why I hit you?"
"Maybe, because I changed my physical routine without permission?" Naruto's eyes rolled as he spoke.
"Well, you're really smart. That's a good thing, but it's not a good thing either. Smart people learn things quickly and know how to learn and use flexible changes, but smart people often don't have perseverance, and it is difficult for such people to become truly strong. When he said this, Maitkai did not continue to sell the guanzi, he clasped his hands in front of his chest and said:
"At such a young age, you know that it is good to learn and apply it flexibly and flexibly when you are in actual combat. But the Konoha Ninja School's physical skills that have been revised and summarized by countless Shangninja and even Hokage-sama have their own reasons, why this move is fought like this, which takes into account the opponent's moves and the opponent's strain, and the truth often takes years or even more than ten years to fully understand. When you are still learning the rules, you have to break the rules, and you also teach your own ideas to your friends, which is harming yourself and him, so I want to wake you up and let you remember it for a long time. ”
Originally, Maitkai's punch was extremely heavy, which made Naruto's heart extremely angry and resentful, but at this moment, Maitkai's words made Naruto's whole person freeze, and he remembered a passage he had seen on the Internet in his previous life:
"If you want to break the rules and regulations, you must first understand all the rules and regulations, and the kind of people who feel that all the rules in the world are false at a young age are often incorrigible mediocre and waste materials."
"There may be people in this world who are born to know, but the vast majority of us are ordinary people after all."
Konoha's physical posture is used to refine skills, not to actual combat, and it is just a matter of giving up the basics and passing on this idea to the friends around him, Ning Ci and Hinata have the elders of the Hyuga family watching, there is no problem, but Xiao Li next to him may be ruined because of his own influence.
"Well, it looks like you've figured it out. Boy, I see that you are very perceptive, do you want to be my disciple? As Naruto's mouth began to close, Maitkai's eyes flashed, and he bared his front teeth and said in what he thought was his most handsome position.
Of course, Maitkai's self-righteous handsome look is stupid in someone's eyes.
(However, why is it me, shouldn't I take a fancy to Xiao Li?) At this moment, Naruto was also very surprised, although he planned to befriend Li Rock in order to get acquainted with Maitkai, but Naruto did not expect that he was favored and Xiao Li was defeated.
"Naruto, come on, take your chance!" Although there was a moment of grievance and sadness, Li Luo still patted Naruto on the shoulder and said this, and then he turned and ran away, he didn't want to affect his friend's opportunity to delay his future.
However, Li Luo, who had just turned around and was about to run away, suddenly felt a heavy shoulder, and then tripped and fell under his feet.
Forcibly dragged Li Luo around, and then Naruto Uzumaki bowed deeply and said, "Master, please accept me and Xiao Li, we must work hard, and we will not let you down." ”
With a serious expression, he stared at the two little ghosts in front of him, and Konoha Shinobu Maitkai did not respond for a long time.
Rock Lee struggled to refuse, but was pressed by Naruto as he met Maitkai's eyes.
"Hey, little ghost, do you think I'm someone who will take apprentices casually?" At this moment, the look of Maitkai with the face of the national character is extremely terrifying, after all, it is a powerful Shangnin, even if he is a little stupid, but the majesty is still there.
"Naruto, Naruto, what are you doing stupidly?"
“…… I insist, please. ”
(I want to live, so I use a lot of tricks and a lot of tricks, but I can't do it if I ruin my friend's life!) )
"Please, I know what a hard-working person Xiao Li is, please accept him, he will not let you down."
"In that case...... Then run two hundred laps around the playground before dawn, and if I can do it, I will accept the two of you as disciples. The next moment, Maitkai's figure flashed, and it had disappeared without a trace.
“…… Naruto, woo-woo-woo-woo. At this moment, Xiao Li next to Naruto's leg was already too moved to live, and the tears on his cheeks flowed into the shape of S noodles.
"Don't be moved, run around the playground for 200 laps before dawn, run quickly first, and then talk about other things after running." He pulled and kicked Li Luo up, and then the two boys, they ran together like two madmen under the moon.
As he ran around the moon, Naruto seemed to see the figure that had almost become a nightmare in his heart again: his eyes were so indifferent and unforgiving, but he was also so lonely and helpless.
(Taiyin, you wait, I will surpass you, I will defeat you, but I ...... But I'm definitely not going to be you! Absolutely not! )
Meanwhile, on the other side, the Hokage's office.
The third generation of Hokage Sarutobi was watching everything that had just happened with a crystal ball, while Kakashi, the elite upper ninja banner, stood still in front of him, standing still until the third generation turned off the image.
"Lord Three Generations, Akai's physical skills are not suitable for human pillar power cultivation, the Eight Gates Dunjia can stimulate the potential of the human body and explode a large number of chakras, but the chakras of the Nine Tails are originally unlimited compared to people." Kakashi Hachiki stepped forward and said.
"Originally, I planned to let you bring Naruto in a few years, but now that Akai is willing to take charge of this matter, then it's also good, the Nine-Tails Chakra will interfere with Naruto's illusion and ninjutsu cultivation, then, in the first few years, it is also a good choice to let Naruto concentrate on cultivating physical arts." After thinking for a moment, the three generations of apes replied in a whisper, and after all three generations of adults said this, Kakashi didn't say anything more, and he gave a salute and left in a flash.
