Chapter 22: Doubts

In the morning, in the Konoha forest.

From the place where Chiyo's squad practiced in the morning, there was a wheezing sound.

It was Maite Day who made the noise, and as usual, he was practicing "fast push-ups." The slight difference was the stump in front of him, on which was placed a giant hourglass, the kind measured in hours.

Dai moved up and down at a speed that produced an afterimage, and from time to time he glanced up at the fine sand above the hourglass.

In addition to the wind-like wheezing sound, he would hum an "um" sound every once in a while, and his voice was long and low. That's because he's accumulated too much pain, his body unconsciously slows down the pace of exercise, and when he finds out, he forces his body to speed up, and then he makes such a sound to encourage himself not to give up.

Warm sunlight shone through the canopy of the trees, slanting towards the circular field, with the trees on one side of the bright side, and Chiyo and Moth sitting with their backs to the sun in the shadows opposite.

Compared with Dai, they are another style of painting: Chiyo is reading, and the moth is in a daze.

It's not that they're lazy, just look at the bulging veins on Chiyo's exposed arms and the swollen red face of the moth, and you can see that they have just finished their workout and are resting at this time.

Dai came early, so after Chiyo and the others waited for a while, the team's morning exercise was over.

……

In a snack bar on the street, the three of them ordered breakfast, and then found a table to sit down.

"Chiyo, isn't Mr. Kagami very rich?" Matte asked as soon as he sat down. Their breakfast is Chiyo's treat, and it's getting more and more expensive lately, and as far as he knows, Chiyo's main income is the task reward given by the Yuehua Mirror, so he has this question.

The expression on Dai's face was pure, just envy.

Chiyo understands this, and the poorest of the three of them is Dai. Because he was an orphan, he had no way to make extra money, and his income depended entirely on the rewards of the meagre low-level tasks and the subsidies in the village. What's even worse is that he also specializes in physical arts! That little income wasn't even enough for him to eat.

This is also the reason why Chiyo often treats guests, and he still has this little money.

Without waiting for Chiyo to speak, Moth replied, "Hmm." Teacher Jing is quite rich. ”

"Oh? How did you know about the moth? ”

"Uncle Patriarch told me. He said that the boss of the medical class became an elder of the council this year and was very busy, so the actual person in charge of the medical class now is Teacher Jing. ”

"Huh?" With questions on his face, he couldn't figure out what it had to do with being rich: "Teacher Jing's salary has risen?" ”

"I don't know much about this, but I guess it's because of Ms. Kagami."

Before Flower Moth finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chiyo: "It's not the kind of situation you said, Flower Moth. ”

Chiyo often conducts experiments with Yuehuajing, so she naturally knows what is going on: "Because after she becomes the person in charge, she can give priority to approving her own experimental projects openly, so that the number of experiments she does will increase, and she will be richer." You must know that her project rewards are equivalent to A-level or even S-class tasks. ”

Although the words were interrupted, but since it was Chiyo, forget it. Moth looked at Chiyo: "I still can't associate Kagami-sensei with the word 'rich'. ”

"Uh-huh, me too."

It's no wonder that Flower Moth and Dai have such an opinion, it's really that the image of the moon mirror is too bad. In fact, judging from Chiyo's eyesight, the Moonlight Mirror is not dirty, on the contrary, her skin and hair are clean. But she just doesn't take care of it, she looks messy all day long, and she doesn't have what her net worth should look like at all.

After a while, the special snacks they ordered were delivered, and breakfast began.

……

After eating, Chiyo took a sip of tea and felt the aroma in her mouth. Opening his eyes, he looked at his teammates: "There is about a month left before the middle ninja exam, and from today onwards, our team will suspend the task and train ourselves with all our might." ”

"I'll pay for your food during this period, but it's not free."

He looked at Dai: "Just like the moth invited me to dinner in the past, you will have to pay back the guests I invited later." ”

In Chiyo's feelings, Dai was obviously much more relaxed after listening to this sentence, which shows that children are also very face-saving.

"Is there anything you want to ask?" As is customary, Chiyo said, "If it's okay, let's go exercise now." ”

"I've got something." Dai raised his hand, and he was a little hesitant at the moment: "Last time, Chiyo said that you wanted to help me check the information, but now there is a result?" ”

"Hmm." Chiyo nodded: "As far as the information I have read, the idea of Bamen Dunjia is feasible. ”

"But I can only open one door so far, and so do you, Chiyo."

In fact, if it weren't for Chiyo, Dai wouldn't have doubted his ninjutsu like he does now. However, Chiyo appeared and quickly opened the "open door".

Years of hard work being easily caught up by others is a big blow to the average person, but Maite Dai doesn't care about this. What he cares about is that Chiyo didn't make any movement after opening the "open door", and he couldn't open the "closed door" for a long time like himself.

This made him wonder if there was something wrong with this ninjutsu, after all, in his opinion, since Chiyo could quickly open the first door, the next one should also be easy to open.

In fact, this is Dai's misunderstanding.

The opening condition of the Eight Gates Dunjia is just one sentence: when the physical conditions are sufficient, use perseverance to impact the limits of your body.

For Chiyo and Dai, it's the physical condition.

Although Chiyo seems to have opened the "door" very quickly on the surface, it is because he has exercised since he was a child, and his physical condition is sufficient.

Dai's physical talent is much better than Chiyo's, and it stands to reason that his current physical condition must be more than the level of "opening the door", but he was very poor in the past!

Even if his body's recovery ability is good, he can't conjure food out of thin air, and without nutrients, how can he improve his physical body?

At this time, what Dai needed was confidence, Chiyo thought about it for a while, and decided to persuade him from a different angle: "Dai, do you know who proposed Bamen Dunjia?" ”

Shake one’s head.

"It's the second Hokage!" Chiyo looked at him: "Do you think the theory proposed by the second Hokage will be wrong?" ”

Shake your head firmly.

"It's only mentioned a little bit in the school textbooks, and it's normal that you don't know. But what I'm going to tell you is that the Eight Gates Dunjia is an S-level forbidden technique, don't think that it is easy to practice, and the more it goes to the back, the more difficult it becomes, your situation is very normal. Got it? ”

"Understood! But Chiyo, the second Hokage-sama, has he practiced this technique? Knowing that the technique he chose was actually founded by the second generation Hokage, and it was also the highest level of forbidden surgery, Maite Dai became quite excited, and at the same time a little curious, after all, it was the Hokage!
