Chapter 57 True Kindness
The principle that force can defeat skill is applicable in many cases.
In close combat, the one with greater strength will definitely have the advantage.
Ino's "strength" is very clear, which is 2 points. Women are at a great disadvantage in this regard. In the short term, she has no plans to work hard on her strength. Shikamaru's strength is slightly stronger than hers, but slightly weaker than Sasuke. These two should be at the level of 3 or 4 points. Choji's strength is too great. He can drag a wild boar weighing hundreds of pounds with one hand. This guy's "strength" must be higher than 5 points, and may even reach 6 points.
The two of them really couldn't withstand Shikamaru's power.
Asuma pointed to the side, meaning that you two should stay aside.
He looked at Shikamaru, a 1.9-meter-tall man facing a 1.5-meter-tall fat boy. The two seemed to have a huge difference in size.
"Chouji, does your kindness come from concern for your companions? If so, then your actions are misguided kindness."
Asuma took a defensive stance. "Come on, attack me! If you can hit me with one punch, you'll qualify. If you can't hit me within an hour, Choji, not only you, but all three of you, go back to school. I don't need subordinates like you!"
Ino didn't say anything. Shikamaru seemed to have thought of something and the words were on the tip of his tongue, but he finally held them back.
Shikamazu's expression looked extremely ugly. He looked at his two silent companions, then at Asuma, wondering why the seemingly kind teacher was forcing him like this.
"Quick! Attack me! For them, you must turn your kindness into strength!"
Choji was at a loss and looked at Ino and Shikamaru from time to time, hoping that these two smart friends could give him some advice.
He attacked Mizuki before because he knew that Mizuki had betrayed the village and wanted to hurt Hinata, Naruto, and Ino. Now that he has no grudge against Asuma, he really can't do it.
Asuma moved slowly, punching left and right, but Shikama just held his head to defend himself, with no intention of attacking at all.
"Alas," Shikamaru sighed, "It seems that this is the only way."
Ino looked at him oddly.
The next second, Shikamaru yelled, "Hit him hard, fat pig!"
Choji opened his eyes and looked over unkindly: "What are you talking about?!"
Ino used her level 5 blame-shifting skill: "You heard wrong, it was Asuma-sensei who said that just now!"
The fat man turned around, his eyes full of anger: "Is it really you? Teacher Asuma? Unforgivable!——!"
The angry Choji punched Asuma, but at the last moment, he stopped, tears streaming down his face: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, teacher, I really can't do it. If I have to go back to school, let me go alone! Ino and Shikamaru are both the best ninjas, and I'm the one who is holding them back!"
The fat boy burst into tears, and Ino scolded him, "Idiot! Of course, Ino, Shika and Chou should advance and retreat together! If we are going back to school, I will go back with you!"
Shikamaru put his hands in his pockets and smiled: "I was just thinking that being a ninja is troublesome. It's good to go back to school. Thanks, Choji."
The Third Hokage and the parents of the Ino, Shika and Chou families who were not far away saw this scene.
The Third Hokage nodded secretly. His companions should advance and retreat together. This was a core purpose of his Will of Fire. In his opinion, this was the most precious thing in the world.
The parents of the three families, Inu, Lu, and Die, were also very satisfied. It was better than anything else that the next generation could maintain their friendship. The alliance between the three families was unbreakable, which was more precious than capturing a hundred Mizuki.
The Third Hokage looked in another direction. Team 7 was in chaos. Kakashi was using the "Thousand Years of Death" on Naruto, a problem child
. Comparatively speaking, Team 10's progress had far surpassed Team 7.
Asking Choji to go back to school was just a joke. After learning that Ino and the others' families had stopped giving them pocket money and had to work to earn money, Asuma, a bearded older man, waved his hand and said, "Come on, I'll treat you to a meal. Well, let's go eat barbecue!"
The fat boy, Shikamaru, jumped up excitedly and called him "Teacher Asuma" all the time in a very affectionate manner.
Ino and Shikamaru were also very happy. Someone was treating them, so why hesitate? Let's go eat! On the way to "Yakiniku Q", Asuma's 10th team met Yuhi Kurenai's 8th team.
Asuma and Kurenai Yuhi are in a relationship and seem to be quite close.
Hearing that they were going to have a barbecue, Class 8 also joined in.
Ino, Shikamaru, Choji, Hinata, Kiba and Aburame Shino, the same barbecue restaurant, the same people, after going around in a small circle, they gathered together again, but this time there were two more leading jonin, Asuma and Kurenai Yuhi.
The two jonin did not shy away from their relationship, and the six younger ones did not think there was anything wrong with it.
Everyone bonded with each other at the dinner table and the atmosphere was very good.
Asuma suddenly patted his head, and then handed Ino a scroll with the word "water" written on it: "By the way, Ino, this is what the Third-generation old man asked me to give you."
What the hell is this? Ino wanted to put it away and look at it at home.
Asuma waved his hand and said, "Open it and take a look. If you are not satisfied, I will go and find the old man to exchange it."
Since he, the Hokage's own son, said so, Ino naturally would not refuse. This scroll should be the reward for exposing Mizuki's conspiracy.
He opened the scroll and took a closer look.
This is a learning scroll for B-level ninjutsu, Water Style and Water Array Wall. Judging from the handwriting, it should be written by the third generation himself.
Ino looked at it carefully and found that this was the same as the Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet, another water style ninjutsu improved by the Second Generation Hokage.
Just make two seals to perform it.
With strong defensive power and fast hand seal-forming speed, Water Array Wall is considered an excellent defensive ninjutsu.
It just makes up for her weakness of low defense.
This reward was better than Ino expected, which was definitely due to Yamanaka Inoichi and Ino-Shikacho. She was very satisfied with it.
"Thank you, Asuma-sensei. Thank you, Third Hokage-sama, for me too."
"Ino is really polite. Haha, you will know it after a while. There is no need to be polite to me." Asuma laughed heartily and looked at Shikamaru and Choji: "You two will also have rewards. Considering various reasons, each of you will record a C-rank mission and you can get the reward for this mission at the end of the month."
Mizuki's matter has come to an end here. Who is behind him and how the village plans to deal with it have nothing to do with them. They are already ninjas. No matter how the profession of ninja is glorified, it is still essentially a killing tool. Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask.
Ino has obtained another B-level ninjutsu. She is still practicing the Water Style - Water Dragon Bullet that Gu Jie taught her before. Now she has added another Water Style - Water Array Wall. Even with the Shadow Clone plug-in, she still feels that the learning task is arduous.
