Chapter 48 Teaching and Learning



Without the corresponding strength and talent, some things are indeed areas that only geniuses with outstanding intelligence can get involved in.

"I understand. Thank you, Mr. Mizuki." Sakura felt relieved to hear that she was not that bad. Her self-confidence, which had been a little depressed by the vast amount of knowledge, finally recovered.

Mizuki had never thought of teaching Haruno Sakura some overly complicated knowledge or powerful ninjutsu. The former were things he had not yet thoroughly studied, and it was hard to say how much patience a Genin would have when faced with too difficult pure theory. As for the latter, how could he teach her when he himself did not know it?

A tall building starts from the ground. Since we want to maximize the advantages of Haruno Sakura's intelligence and learning ability, a solid foundation is absolutely indispensable. The most important thing at present is to instill my own power system into Sakura. If possible in the future, it would also be good to find a reliable helper. At present, I have accumulated too many topics to study, and one person's energy is really limited.

"No wonder scientific research in previous lives was based on small teams. The power of an individual is too small in the face of countless unknowns. No wonder Orochimaru would tolerate an assistant like Kabuto Yakushi who is restless and often disobeys and acts on his own. Talent is hard to come by."

"Sakura, take a break first. It's important to combine work and rest." Mizuki suggested, "If you have time, let's chat casually."

"Okay." After watching for a long time, Sakura was a little tired.

"To be honest, I don't really understand why you asked me to teach you. In fact, Konoha has many ninjas who are stronger than me and can teach you some very powerful ninjutsu. Wouldn't that be better?"

Hearing Mizuki's question, Sakura said awkwardly: "Besides Mizuki-sensei, I don't know many other powerful ninjas. And in the Forest of Death, the things that Mizuki-sensei gave me helped a lot. If it weren't for this, we might not have passed the exam. So I think the teacher is more suitable for me, and I can also help Sasuke."

"Oh? Do you remember what I said then?"

"Yes, Mr. Mizuki, one day I will also be able to rely on my teammates and can't always be a drag." Sakura said firmly.

"Hmm." Shuimu still felt that it was better to make some things clear. "To be honest, I don't know if it's a good thing for you to be taught by me. With your talent and expertise, there should be a teacher more suitable for you. If you learn my knowledge now, it will distract your attention and it's hard to predict whether it will be good for you in the future."

"This is my own choice. I think Mr. Mizuki is the most suitable teacher at the moment."

"Okay, don't be so serious." Shuimu said with a smile, "I don't mean to be unwilling to teach you, let's talk about something light-hearted. Who do you think is the strongest and weakest in the third exam?"

Sakura thought for a moment and said, "I don't know who is the strongest, but I am definitely the weakest. I think the strongest should be one between Sasuke and Hyuga Neji."

"Hehe." After hearing Sakura's answer, Mizuki continued, "Then let me put it another way. Who do you think is the most talented and will be the strongest in the future?"

Sakura shook her head; "I'm even less sure about this, but I think Sasuke's Sharingan is the most powerful."

"Let me put it this way. Accurately judging the strength of a ninja is a very important skill for a ninja. You should pay close attention to it in the future." Mizuki decided to explain it to Sakura. "Right now, all the other ninjas who have passed the Chunin Exam combined cannot beat the Sand Ninja Gaara."

"How could it be?" Sakura was shocked. "There will be such a powerful ninja in the Chunin Exam? Then Sasuke..."

"Don't worry. I'm talking about now. You have to have faith in Sasuke and Kakashi. It's hard to say what the situation will be like in a month. There are special reasons why Gaara is so strong. Let's put that aside for now. It's true that you are the weakest, but that refers to a duel in the ring. It may not be the case in other situations."

"Let's talk about talent. Actually, this is a matter of opinion. It's hard for me to say who has the most talent, but I know who has the worst talent. That person is your opponent, Dosshin of the Sound Ninja."

As someone with limited talents, he accepted Orochimaru's transformation and became a tool-like existence. This shows how low the upper limit of his talent is, otherwise he would not have been easily abandoned as a pawn by Orochimaru.

"That means~" Sakura asked as if she had realized something.

"Yes, it's just as you think. In fact, it's not difficult to defeat Doss as long as you make the right response. If you don't have enough information and he succeeds, you, the Genin, or even the Chuunin with weaker strength, won't be his opponent. But now that we know in advance and we have a month to prepare, Doss can be said to be the easiest one for you to deal with besides Uzumaki Naruto."

"Naruto? Is he that easy to deal with? Why do I feel he is very strong?" Sakura said in disbelief.

"Naruto's weaknesses are even more obvious than Doss's. As long as he is deliberately targeted, opponents far inferior to him can knock him down. Do you remember what the Third Hokage said after the preliminaries?"

"Intelligence and response?" Sakura murmured.

"That's right. How to get to the third game without revealing too many weaknesses is the key." Shuimu affirmed, "Okay, continue studying. What you are going to learn now is a magical skill that will be more effective the stronger you are. When you become stronger in the future, you will find that this thing is a strength amplifier that can bring your combat power to a terrifying level~"

"Yes, teacher." Sakura replied, "However, this thing will be very useful in the future, but now my strength is so weak that I can't fully exert its power. Can I become a Chunin with this?"

"Not at the moment," Mizuki replied. "It's hard to say after a month."

"Really?" Sakura couldn't hide her disappointment and turned around to study.

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Sakura's last unintentional words seemed to remind Mizuki of something.

"It seems that I was a little too ambitious."

All along, relying on Mizuki's overwhelming intelligence advantage, he has been committed to improving his own strength by going straight to the source, trying not to waste energy as much as possible. He even looked down on some basic ninjutsu and did not work hard to improve his own strength. He only did chakra control training.

Thinking of this, Shuimu stretched out his right hand, circulated chakra, and red flames emerged from the palm of his hand. Gradually, the flames gathered and the color gradually deepened. The red light turned into a blue flame, forming a bright white-blue light ball.

"I have completed so many semi-finished products, but there is not a single one that can directly improve combat effectiveness, except for the all-purpose potion which has side effects. I am ready to reach for the moon, but I don't know if I am walking on solid ground."

With a sigh, Mizuki glanced at Sakura who was studying seriously.

"As expected, I learned a lot from talking to smart people. There is always a teacher among three people. The ancients were not wrong."
