Today's chapter is three thousand nine, so let's treat it as two chapters, hehe.

…………………………

The next day, on the exercise ground.

Araki Shinya faced the students in the audience and said, "Today, you continue to practice running, when will it look like it, let's move on to the next stage of the course." ”

When I heard that today's class was still running, some students in the audience were not very happy and felt very bored, although due to Araki's majesty (threat), they did not object loudly, but there was still a little commotion in the field.

"What's going on?" Araki was a little unhappy with the students' commotion.

"Teacher, can you teach something else in this class, it's boring to run all the time."

Aoyagi was still thinking about who was so bold, but he actually really answered Araki's words, and when he heard the voice, it was Chisato Oe, which was not surprising.

"It's only been a week now, and you're bored!? Exercising is a long-term process, and if you can't endure hardship, then drop out! If you can't persevere, it's impossible to become a ninja. Araki's voice was stern, and it was clear that there was no negotiation.

"However, after the same week's lessons, now Mr. Sugimoto doesn't talk about history, and he starts teaching us to extract chakras, and he also conducts practical exercises." Chisato complained, "It's not that we don't want to exercise anymore, we just want to learn something else." For example, shuriken and the like. ”

Aoyagi silently praised Chisato for his courage.

"Very good, since you want to learn more, then you can run ten more laps of the training field than the other students." Araki said coldly to Chisato.

"Nope! Teacher, I know it's wrong. Please forgive me! Chisato was taken aback and quickly begged for mercy loudly.

"It's too late, start running, I'll keep an eye on you." But Araki was unmoved.

In the end, everyone completed their task, stood on the sidelines and watched the figure running thousands of miles with difficulty, once again remembering the iron rule not to provoke Araki-sensei, and silently thanking the warrior for his sacrifice.

"Disband!"

Seeing that the students were gone, Sugi was about to leave this month, but was stopped by Araki.

Staring at Sugimoto, Araki's tone was a little unkind: "Sugimoto-sensei, you should have informed me before you start teaching the extraction of chakra." ”

Hearing Araki's question-like tone, Sugi was a little dissatisfied in his heart, and replied, "Mr. Araki, since the beginning of school, you haven't had much intention of talking to me, let alone communicating about the content of teaching. I am present in every practical class just to be able to know the current progress of the students and arrange the theory class. You, on the other hand, did not appear in the theory class once. ”

Raising his eyebrows, with a hint of sarcasm, Sugi said, "I thought you didn't care about the progress of the theory class, so I wouldn't bother you because of these little things." ”

Stabbed by Sugimoto's words, the green tendons on his temples jumped, and Araki said angrily, "No matter what, I always know that I will be heard before I start an important course!" Theory and practice must cooperate with each other in order to be most conducive to the development of students. Also, the practical class is under my control, and you have exceeded your authority by leading students to conduct practical operations without authorization! ”

Sugimoto straightened his expression and said solemnly, "Hokage-sama asked us to be in charge of theory and practice, and the original intention was to let us communicate more about the teaching of students, hoping that we could give full play to each other's strengths and make up for each other's shortcomings, so that students can get a better education." ”

"You also know that theory and practice are inseparable, but you don't mean to communicate with me, at most you just ask me to help supervise the students in the practical class. And I want to talk to you about the practical class, but you don't pay attention, that's what you said, your equal emphasis on practice and theory? ”

Araki said lightly: "Since you know that I am good at practical classes, and this is your shortcoming. Then you just teach your theory class well, and you don't need to worry about my practical class. Of course, I attach equal importance to practice and theory, so I won't ask you about your theory class. Leaving things to the professionals, that's how I value theory. You just need to inform me of the progress, I will not interfere with the specific teaching, and please do not interfere with my class. ”

"That's not the way you should communicate!" Araki's words made Sugimoto angry.

"I've made it all clear, and I'm already very good. That's all there is to it. Next, if there is anything you are not convinced, convince me with your fists! Araki jumped backwards for some distance and took a battle stance.

"Ridiculous! The fact that the truth is the truth, the strength is the strength, and the strength is strong, does not mean that the truth held is correct. Sugimoto no longer had hope of communicating with Araki, and being able to say these words meant that he could no longer convince the other party with reason.

"Hmph, those who are strong can carry out their own principles, and those who are weak can only obey." Araki said coldly.

"Good! In that case, let's have a fight. Sugimoto couldn't suppress his anger and just wanted to teach the other party a hard lesson.

"Even if I can only use my left hand now, I'm not afraid of you, let me see how good you are!" Araki said defiantly.

"Hehe, I don't take advantage of you, I only use kunai with my left hand, see what you can do to me." Sugimoto laughed angrily.

"It's not a good place here, come with me." Araki jumped away first.

Sugimoto immediately followed, which was also exactly what he wanted, and the two teachers had a big fight in the school, and the impact was not good, so it was better to go to a remote place to solve the matter.

…………

Trees flew by, and Araki carefully looked at the terrain around him. It didn't take long for him to find an open space that was just right for fighting.

Stopping in the clearing, Araki turned around and looked at Sugimoto.

Although he entered a complex forest environment, which was suitable for Araki, who was good at stealth, he did not ambush and attack Sugimoto, he wanted to deal with the other party in a dignified manner.

This is the pride of him as a former ninja, a senior dark department.

Taking the lead in forming the seal of opposites, Araki secretly mobilized the muscles of his whole body and adjusted his physical state.

Sugimoto also formed the seal of opposites and was engrossed. The opponent used to be a shinobi, and even if he couldn't fight with his right hand, it was still very dangerous, and if he wasn't careful, he might be defeated.

After staring at each other for a while, the air seemed to be congregated. Suddenly, an autumn wind blew off the yellow leaves of the trees. After the wind left, the leaves fluttered around.

There happened to be a piece floating between the two. The sudden intrusion of the leaves slightly stirred the spirits of the two. The state of concentration and calm was disturbed, and the muscles of the whole body were ready to go, and the two of them decided at the same time that it was almost time to make a move.

At the moment when the leaves hit the ground, the two moved at the same time.

Sonorous, the kunai in the hands of the two clashed together, bursting out with sparks. After colliding with each other a few times, their arms froze together.

Araki praised: "That's good, your kunai fighting and strength are almost at the level of Shangnin." I just don't know what the other things are. ”

Sugi, who used all his strength, couldn't be distracted to speak, so he could only "hum" in response.

The two exploded at the same time and separated. After a moment of confrontation, the battle soon began again.

The scene was very anxious, and the figures of the two shuttled back and forth in the clearing, leaving behind afterimages, and sometimes sparks burst out at the confrontation. Later, the two were no longer limited to fighting in kunai, and the shuriken began to spin and gallop around, and some even collided with each other. Many of the surrounding trees were damaged, and they were pierced by shuriken.

In the Hokage's office in the distance, the three generations of Hokage watched the fight between the two in the crystal ball and felt a big headache, "Alas, these people, how can they do something all day long." ”

Sugi retreated after another confrontation this month, gasping for breath, it seems that even if he has worked hard all these years, he is still not as good as Shangnin in terms of physical strength and skills after all, even if it is just a Shangnin who can't use his right hand. He couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

The mind cultivated by years of practice quickly calmed his emotions. Looking at Araki on the other side, the other party's state is obviously much better than him, it seems that there is no way to defeat the other party with only his left hand, since this is the case......

Sugimoto's right hand quickly touched the ninja bag behind him, aimed at Araki, and threw several shurikens in succession. Several shuriken split into sequences, blocking Araki's various dodge directions. As soon as the shuriken was issued, Sugimoto immediately rushed forward and took advantage of the shuriken interference with Araki to quickly establish an advantage.

I didn't expect Sugimoto, a guy who looks thick eyebrows and big eyes, abides by the rules, and is even a little pedantic in his eyes, to break his promise so quickly!?

"Despicable!" Under the impact of unexpected facts, even if Araki had already been vigilant and determined, he was inevitably distracted. It's just that he quickly adjusted his state, wielding kunai and bouncing the shuriken that flew towards him.

And at this time, Sugimoto was already approaching, and the sharp kunai thorn was aimed at Araki, and Araki could even feel goosebumps where the cold spikes were pointed.

In a hurry, Araki only had time to swing the kunai in an awkward way, and barely opened Sugimoto's kunai, and his body was a little unstable.

Sugimoto seized the opportunity and attacked several times in a row, scratching Araki's right arm. Araki struggled to fight off Sugimoto and retreated, recovering his physical condition.

Araki squinted at the injury, and the clothes on his right arm were torn open, and blood was flowing from the wound.

I grinned, I hadn't felt it in a long time, as if I hadn't been injured since I retired. I miss this feeling a little.

Gathering his mind and cheering up his spirits, watching out for Sugimoto, Araki quickly bandaged the wound and breathed a sigh of relief.

After dealing with the injury, his anger flared up, "Mean, didn't you say that you only use your left hand!?" ”

The corners of Sugimoto's mouth twitched, and he said, "Hmph, first of all, I didn't say that I only used my left hand. I just said that I only use kunai with my left hand. I will abide by what I have said, and I will definitely not use kunai with my right hand. It's just that I didn't say that you don't use a shuriken in your right hand. Besides, after retiring, do you forget? Ninja has never been a decent profession. Samurai and ninjas are upright, and as long as they can achieve their goals, many means can be used. ”

"You used to be in the shadows. Isn't the dark part the group of people who can best represent ninjas and have the most ninja temperament? Conceal identity, act in the shadows, do whatever it takes, and be proficient in killing ......"

"Humph!" Araki was very dissatisfied, and actually played with words. It's just that I'm a little naïve, after retiring, without the oppression of the environment, I did relax a lot, not only physically, but also ideologically.

"Do you think I'm so stupid that I can win with just my left hand? Even if it's a shinobi who can't use his right hand. Sugimoto scoffed.

"Okay, then let me see, even with your hands, you can't defeat the shinobi." As soon as Araki finished speaking, he rushed forward.

The two are facing each other again......

For a long time, both of them looked at each other breathlessly, more or less wounded.

Looking at Araki's embarrassed appearance, his heart was secretly refreshed, and Sugimoto said, "It seems that this is the final blow." ”

"That's right, the next blow will determine the winner!" Araki responded.

After a little rest and recovery, the two rushed to each other at the same time, and the kunai intersected and collided fiercely. After a stalemate, the fierce and short attack and defense began, and the crisp sound of iron weapons colliding again sounded in the forest.

Not long after, the sound stopped, and it turned out that both of them had lost their strength and fell, but Araki fell more slowly.

Lying on the ground, although they could no longer fight, the mouths of the two were still noisy.

"You fell first, so I won."

"No, in the end, both of them fell, and the difference was not more than a second, so it could only be considered a tie."

"You can't afford to lose, can you?"

"You can't afford to lose, can you? It's too humiliating for an upper ninja to lose to a middle ninja. ”

"Hmph, you are a middle ninja, bullying a cruel person, and shamelessly cheating, you can't afford to lose."

………………

"Forget it, that's all for today." The two argued for a while, but in the end they were so tired that Araki stopped talking first.

"That's it for today, and then we'll win." Sugi also wanted to have a good rest this month, and agreed with Araki's statement.

After making a seal of reconciliation, the two lay quietly in the forest, looking at the night sky that had already darkened.

The atmosphere was very peaceful for a while.

Lying down and resting, bored, the two of them thought about their own thoughts, and no one spoke first.

It wasn't until more than half an hour later that Araki suddenly said, "How can we go back like this now?" ”

Sugimoto was silent. Now the whole body is out of strength, and there are many wounds, although it is not fatal, and it has been treated, but it affects the physical state very much. It is estimated that it will take another hour to move normally.

And they haven't eaten dinner yet, they're hungry, tired, and injured, and it looks like it's going to be hard tonight.
