Chapter 66: The Ostrich Theory
"Alas, another battle without suspense."
Shikamaru lazily raised his eyelids, looked at Sasuke with a straight face and shook his head.
It is both admiration for Sasuke's persistence and helplessness for Sasuke's tenacity.
"Sasuke is also a genius from the Uchiha clan, but ...... face Naruto"
Sometimes the word genius can really make peers feel deeply powerless.
It's not Sasuke, it's Naruto.
I still remember that when Naruto first entered school, most of the civilian children in the class rejected him.
But after that, Naruto continued to show his charm and emotional intelligence, so that most of the class could not be malicious towards him.
Who would hate a gentle, mature, helpful, almost perfect peer?
Naruto showed his strength in the actual combat training afterwards, and it turned the few people who were originally jealous into admiration and longing.
"Naruto, did you see that?"
In the sealing space, Mian Ma also smiled: "This is the ostrich theory I told you before. ”
The so-called ostrich theory is that when two chickens are the same size, the two chickens must feel that the other is smaller than themselves.
When one of them is a turkey and the other is a chicken, the turkey will think that it is too big, but the chick will think that the two "chickens" are the same size, or that the turkey is just better than itself.
But if one of them is an ostrich, then the other chick will admit that the ostrich is bigger and even develop a psychology of worship.
Because they are not the same species at all.
"Sometimes jealousy and adoration are just a few words."
"As long as you have a clear overwhelming advantage, others will naturally stop slandering and jealous of you, and will even support you and yearn for you in turn." ”
Excellence comes more from personal subjective feelings, rather than objective standards, and the excellence of a person's self-perception mainly comes from the comparison with the outside world.
Excellent people are high above and have their own unattainable resources and dreams, so naturally they don't have the psychology of wanting to compete on the same stage.
As a result, jealousy loses its most fundamental psychological support and is transformed into a cult of personality.
Naruto nodded imperceptibly.
Ever since he started to come into contact with people, he realized how practical the knowledge that Brother Mian Ma taught.
The teaching of combat is secondary, and the experience of being a person and doing things is the most important.
"If it weren't for Brother Mianma, I might be like this group of civilian children now, and I would have no brains to worship the so-called Will of Fire."
will even be like them, taking the Hokage as his lifelong ideal.
But in fact, being the Hokage, nothing can be changed.
"Then let's take the two of you on stage."
Iruka also smiled helplessly, and raised his hand to signal Naruto and Sasuke to step forward.
After all, the world of ninjas is not a playhouse, but full of blood and carnage.
Therefore, actual combat training is a must, and it is also what they advocate.
Sasuke Uchiha walked out with a grim expression, and looked at Naruto with a serious look in his eyes.
Coming from the Uchiha clan, he would never allow himself to be defeated by Naruto.
"Come on, Naruto! Give this stinky guy a lesson! ”
There was a coaxing sound from the audience, which attracted a group of people to echo it.
Except for some little girls who like Sasuke, most of them are cheering for Naruto.
Sasuke frowned, a hint of discomfort in his heart.
Although he didn't care about what these guys thought, he was inevitably a little uncomfortable when he was still young.
Thinking of this, Sasuke looked at Naruto with a slight strangeness in his eyes.
"Naruto, has he been under this kind of pressure before?"
No, maybe far more than several times......
He also had some knowledge of Naruto's situation in the village.
It was also targeted, but Naruto faced almost the malice of the entire village.
The vicious words of those adults made him shudder.
But this guy can still laugh, it's really ......
And just when Sasuke ignored the coaxing voices in the audience and wanted to form a seal of confrontation.
"Shh~"
Naruto suddenly turned to face everyone, put his index finger to his mouth, and smiled, "Please be quiet, this is a sign of respect for a person with strong beliefs." ”
Then, regardless of everyone's shocked expressions, he turned to face Sasuke again, and said with a serious expression: "Fists and feet have no eyes, be careful." ”
Sasuke came back to his senses, and for some reason he suddenly didn't dare to look directly into those blue eyes, and looked away.
The two finished the seal of opposites.
"I'm going!"
Sasuke saw that Naruto was still standing there like before, looking like he was waiting for the battle.
did not hesitate to choose to take the initiative.
"Come on!"
Naruto nodded, leaning slightly.
Brush!
I saw that Sasuke's speed was extremely fast, and he ran directly towards him.
Then he threw a straight punch and slammed straight into Naruto's face.
But it was easily dodged.
Boom!!
Immediately after that, Sasuke's right leg swung over and kicked Naruto hard in the abdomen.
However, he also raised his hand directly to hold it, and his movements were clean and neat, without dragging mud and water.
Sasuke Uchiha didn't stop his offensive and slammed into his head with a sharp kick.
This scene made the girls scream with excitement.
Bang!
But in the midst of lightning.
Naruto's body protruded to one side, dodging Sasuke's attack.
"There are a lot of flaws, Sasuke."
Sasuke's movements were full of flaws in Naruto's eyes, and if he tried his best, he could kill the other party in an instant.
But Naruto just stretched out his right foot and swept it back.
"What?"
Sasuke Uchiha's face changed, and before he could land, he was able to block with his hands crossed in front of him.
The whole person was already shocked by the great force, and his arms were burning and aching, and he flew straight backwards.
Boom!
Suddenly, Sasuke Uchiha, who flew upside down, turned into a piece of wood.
"Stand-ins?"
Iruka nodded and exclaimed, "Sasuke's basic skills are also solid. ”
Although those students from wealthy families, many of them have already mastered the three-body technique.
But at this age, it is rare to be able to skillfully apply the stand-in technique to actual combat.
It's a pity that it's Naruto who is facing it......
"There it is!"
Someone called out.
I saw that Uchiha Sasuke had appeared on the other side at some point.
"I'm not going to lose to you!"
His gaze was firmly fixed on Naruto, and then his hands quickly sealed.
"The Seal of the Tiger, not ......"
Seeing this, Iruka's face immediately changed.
He never thought that Sasuke Uchiha, who was only a junior student, would have mastered such ninjutsu.
If Naruto was really hit by such a devastating ninjutsu, wouldn't it be ......
