Chapter 42: Aoba Yamashiro

The following days became calm and boring again, and Yamashiro Aoba took a few new shinobi to carry out various 'messy' tasks, so that these rookies knew how to properly complete the ninja's work in the shortest possible time.

After that, Yamashiro Aoba said less and less, at most when a few children asked him questions, he would give answers.

Judging from the detailed and straightforward answers given by Yamashiro Aoba, and the key parts that are easy to understand and mistaken, this person has a very rich and meticulous grasp of ninjutsu knowledge.

In addition, the tasks he chose looked messy, but they were a good exercise in all aspects of the quality of these shinobi, as long as they honestly insisted on doing these tasks, then they could unconsciously polish the basic skills of the ninja.

Tasks such as searching for missing pets, harvesting crops, delivering letters and shopping in nearby villages and towns, driving away wild beasts that destroy farmland, and cleaning up garbage in rivers are all about doing these small and inconspicuous tasks and putting some of your ninjutsu skills to good use.

Skills such as climbing trees and treading water can be mastered naturally, and there is no need for special practice.

As for the more advanced ninjutsu, although Katsura and Yui both want to learn advanced ninjutsu, Yamashiro Aoba has never taken the initiative to teach any ninjutsu.

When such a peaceful day passed for a while, Yamashiro Aoba took a few rookies to finish the day's work, leaving Ethan alone.

He secretly gave Ethan a code, and the other two didn't notice, so when the team was disbanded at the end of the mission, Katsura and Yui still said goodbye to their teammates as usual, and then went home.

Ethan stood there quietly, waiting until his teammates were gone, and then turned his head to look at Aoba Yamashiro next to him.

"Something?"

"Find a quiet place to talk. ”

Yamashiro Aoba didn't wait for Ethan's answer and left directly. After noticing that Ethan was following, he never looked back and led Ethan to a training ground in Konoha.

Konoha has many training grounds, which are convenient for the ninjas in the village to use at any time, but most ninjas have their own habitual training grounds, and the big families have private training grounds.

In addition, the ninjas are usually busy with work, so most of the time there are no people in the training ground, and a few of them are almost abandoned—but Ethan thinks that Konoha made it like that on purpose, and it is quite difficult to deliberately make that kind of environment.

Yamashiro Aoba chose a training ground that looked deserted, and there were almost no people here, so there was no need to worry about being disturbed.

After Ethan arrived, Yamashiro Aoba estimated the time Ethan had spent and came to a conclusion: Ethan's true strength should be among the best in this group of students.

Yamashiro Aoba has a calm and observant personality, and he has been observing the young ninjas under his command during this time.

Guishu and Wei He have seen it very clearly, these are two very ordinary children, born in Konoha and raised in Konoha, with an innocent family background, and there is nothing special about themselves. Although he became a ninja, his talent was really average, and perhaps the best ending was to live a dull life, and maybe as he grew older, he could be promoted to a middle ninja as he improved his experience and accumulated a sufficient number of tasks.

This is the limit, if you encounter an accident, such as the sudden outbreak of a ninja war, or simply a dangerous mission, it is not impossible to die and end your life.

But he couldn't see what the future held for Ethan.

Originally, he thought that Ethan was no different from the other two children, but in many details, he found that Ethan's ninjutsu foundation and chakra's control were very good, and he had very good physical fitness.

This is not compared to his peers, but Ethan's reaction and speed in the entire lower ninja group are amazing.

Compared to strength and endurance, which can be greatly improved through hard work, speed and reflexes can even be regarded as talents to a certain extent.

For example, the famous fourth-generation Hokage Wave Feng Shui Gate, his reaction speed is amazing, if it weren't for his super reaction speed and sense of balance, he would not have been able to use the Flying Thunder God technique to that extent.

Then the situation is obvious, he took over a very talented shinobi, so out of the importance of talent, he can't continue to lead the team in the same way before.

Of course, you can't decide anything by yourself casually, while Yamashiro Aoba is calm and good at analysis, his character also has some flaws, that is, sometimes it is difficult for him to make a decisive awakening, and he seems a little cowardly, and his first choice for this kind of important thing must be to report, and then wait for the instructions of his superiors.

Before today, he had received a clear reply from Hokage-sama: Konoha cherished any gifted young man.

So after completing his daily tasks on this day, Yamashiro Aoba called Ethan out alone, and he was going to conduct an all-round test on Ethan.

It's the same treatment as those young ninjas who focus on training.

Ethan glanced at the training ground that looked like it was scrapped, and the opposite Yamashiro Aoba took a bell out and hung it on his waist, and immediately knew what this instructor Shangshinobi was going to do.

But isn't this a test of teamwork and character?

Yamashiro Aoba's answer cleared Ethan's doubts.

"I've been watching you all this time, you have more strength than I expected, I want to see how strong you are...... Your next task is to do everything in your power to snatch the bell from me. ”

"So, it's a one-on-one competition?"

"That's pretty much it. ”

Aoba Yamashiro pushed his glasses.

"Use all your strength, I know you're usually hiding your strength. ”

Ethan blinked, as if he didn't understand what the other party was talking about, but the truth was that he had known that there would be such a result, those tasks that seemed messy and boring, although very boring, but they tested the basic skills of the ninjas, if it wasn't for the basic skills were stable enough, there was no way to be as easy as he showed.

What's more, the two teammates are often tired at the end of the day, but Ethan doesn't even sweat, except for the two children who have just become shinobi, ninjas with normal IQ can notice his situation.

"I'll be informed in advance, if you don't pass this test, you'll be disqualified from continuing as a ninja. ”

Yamashiro Aoba put on a slight stance.

"And I'm not going to show mercy!"

Ethan adjusted his expression slightly, and it looked like he had finally 'taken the competition' seriously.

Yamashiro Aoba saw that Ethan's fighting spirit had finally been aroused, and he nodded with a little satisfaction.

"So, I'm here, Aoba-sensei!"

This is the first time Ethan has called Yamashiro Aoba a teacher, because before today, Yamashiro Aoba was just a ninja sent by Konoha to lead the team, and it is better to say that he is an instructor than a captain.

But after today, the identity is estimated to change a little, as long as Ethan shows enough potential, Yamashiro Aoba will do all the obligations of an instructor like Kakashi instructed Naruto and Sasuke, and teach Ethan all kinds of ninja knowledge with all his heart.

He didn't know that at this moment he was already side by side with Merlin, Ancient One, Snape and others, Yamashiro Aoba just wanted to see what Ethan's strength was, and whether he was wasting time with all this today?

However, in the next second, something happened that shocked him.

Ethan, who was standing in place, suddenly disappeared, and the next second the other party was already behind him, and the sharp kunai was stabbing towards his side.

"Teleportation?"

Ethan's movements are not without traces, although Yamashiro Aoba wants him to give it his all, but of course he can't really use his full strength - is he going to raze the Fire Country?

He carefully estimated what the maximum combat power of his current 'vest' should be, and then stuck this strength standard to fight.

The strength can't be too exaggerated, but there are still some freaks in the Hokage world, so it makes sense to be similar to an adult ninja, not to mention that the current setting of his vest is specialized in physical arts.

Speed and reflexes are absolute strengths, which can be explained as talent.

The amount of chakra can't be too much, plus he is from a civilian background, so he can't directly paste over any fireballs, water dragon bullets, and large waterfalls, and his origin card makes him have no place to learn these things.

Therefore, only the most basic three-body technique taught by the ninja school can be used......

Even if it is a three-body technique, it is equally terrifying to play to the extreme.

Yamashiro Aoba had never thought that any shinobi could use the teleportation technique to such an extent, and for a moment he even thought that the enemy opposite him was the fourth Hokage who had died.

Of course, Ethan's instantaneous technique can have a similar effect if he plays it all out, but in order not to scare Yamashiro Aoba to death, and then be suspected by Konoha of being a spy, he still put a lot of water hard.

Even so, Yamashiro Aoba was scared enough.

While striding in time, turning sideways and dodging this attack of Ethan, Yamashiro Aoba made the right judgment at the first time: this little guy can't be treated as an ordinary shinobi, he must be serious.

Parrying and counterattacking in one go, Yamashiro Aoba's attack hit the air, and then he turned around and found Ethan's true location for the first time.

A shuriken flew out of his hand, but Ethan, who was hit, turned into a stake.

"Stand-ins?"

Just when Yamashiro Aoba went to find Ethan's true location again, the wooden stake full of shuriken naturally rolled over, and Ethan, who was hiding behind the stake using the transformation technique, suddenly showed his figure, and followed the momentum of rolling and falling, and a heavy kick from top to bottom hit Yamashiro Aoba's head firmly.
