Konoha teaches, then stands in the sky

Chapter 36 Not as Good as Mu Yue

Asuma, who was protected by Mu Yue's water escape, suddenly felt that he was a worthless person before. He took his anger out on Mu Yue because of his dissatisfaction with the third generation and had always had a bad attitude.

As a teacher, Mu Yue was very responsible. Even though he had been uncooperative and resisted Mu Yue's training, Mu Yue was very clever in allowing him to complete the required training.

Although the process was a bit infuriating, it was also for his own good. I wanted him to complete the training.

"Shisui, you go back first." Looking at the depressed Asuma, Mu Yue knew it was his turn.

Zhishui nodded, didn't say much, turned around and went back to practice.

Mu Yue walked in front of Asma, brushed off the dust on his body, and helped him tidy up his messy clothes.

Finally, Mu Yue squatted on the ground, keeping about the same height as Asma, and looked into Asma's eyes.

The two looked at each other, and Asuma quickly lowered his head before whispering, "Teacher, I'm sorry."

"Tell me how you have wronged me?" Mu Yue asked with a smile.

"I shouldn't take out my frustrations on others on you. I shouldn't have always been against you and refused to cooperate." Asuma didn't dare look at Mu Yue.

"You're not sorry for me, you're sorry for yourself." Mu Yue said as her expression gradually became serious.

Mu Yue asked:

"Does it matter to me if you don't train?"

Without waiting for Asuma to answer, Mu Yue continued:

"It doesn't matter. Even if you don't train, I'll still be making two thousand taels an hour."

"But you're different. If you train one hour less, your one hour is gone and you gain nothing."

For such rebellious teenagers, you have to make them feel that everything you do is good for them, that you are on their side, and that they are the ones making mistakes.

"I..." Asma hesitated to speak. The more Mu Yue spoke, the more regretful he felt, and the more he felt like a worthless person.

The more annoyed I was with Mu Yue's behavior before, the more favorable I became towards her at this moment.

It is no exaggeration to say that Asuma felt that Mu Yue, his teacher who had only taught him for a few days, was much better than his father, the Hokage.

Although he secretly disobeyed Mu Yue's training requirements, Mu Yue did not scold him. Instead, she praised him for his strong limbs.

If it was Sarutobi Hiruzen who came, he would probably be so angry that he would puff his beard and glare and then scold him.

Before starting to preach, Mu Yue helped him brush off the dust on his body and tidied his clothes, and even looked at him at eye level.

Thinking of this, Asuma's eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Why can a tutor who has only known him for a few days praise him generously, but when he returns home excitedly after getting first place, he never gets any praise from his parents?

Is it true that Asma's first place is less valuable than others' first place?

Asuma felt more and more aggrieved the more he thought about it, and couldn't help but recall that he was defeated by a student who had just entered the ninja school today.

Many emotions accumulated together and finally exploded.

Even though Asuma tried hard to control himself, tears still flowed down in the end. He turned his head away, not wanting Mu Yue to see.

But how could this be hidden from Mu Yue, who had been keeping an eye on Asuma.

Mu Yue did not act immediately, but waited for a while. After Asma had vented some of his emotions through crying, he stood up, patted Asma's shoulder, and took out a handkerchief and handed it to Asma.

"Teacher Hanyu...you are so kind." Asuma took the handkerchief, wiped his tears and said with a sob.

"Unlike my parents, they wouldn't be like this..."

"That's because you only remember the bad things they did to you and forget the good things they did to you.

Think carefully, when you were a child, who was the one who patiently coaxed you to sleep, who taught you how to walk and run step by step, who checked in the middle of the night to see if you were covered with the quilt, who was it..." Mu Yue said earnestly.

The third generation may be watching, so you can't just focus on improving your own favorability, you also have to mediate the relationship between father and son.

Asuma was speechless. After Mu Yue said that, he did have similar memories in his mind.

"You can think about it carefully when you have free time. Now you should prepare to start practicing. You haven't forgotten what you said before, right?" Mu Yue saw that Asuma looked conflicted, so she started talking about practicing.

"Of course I haven't forgotten. From now on, I will practice whatever you tell me to practice, Teacher Mu Yue." Asma said as he wiped his face with a towel.

Now Mu Yue's image in Asuma's mind has changed from a cunning and hateful adult to a perfect teacher who is truly kind to him.

"We will continue to practice chakra control this week and practice ninjutsu next week." Mu Yue briefly explained the training schedule.

He definitely wouldn't teach Asuma the same way he taught Shisui and the others.

First, Asuma's identity is sensitive. The Third Hokage will either keep an eye on him himself or send someone to keep an eye on him, which may cause him to expose his strength. Mu Yue does not want to show strength beyond that of a Chunin for the time being.

The second reason is very realistic. Asma is just a student, not a disciple, and it is not worth investing too much energy in him.

As Mu Yue expected, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was in the Hokage Building, was using the telescope technique to observe how Mu Yue taught Asuma.

"Hanyu is indeed very good at teaching children." Seeing Asuma's change from resistance at the beginning to respect in the end, Sarutobi Hiruzen affirmed Mu Yue's ability as a teacher.

He was not too surprised that Mu Yue was able to call Shishui.

Because Shisui is a student in Mu Yue's class, and even students from other classes like Mu Yue so much, there is no reason why students from Mu Yue's own class would not like her.

"But he has such strength right after entering school. His talent is even better than Kagami." Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of his former teammate Uchiha Kagami.

That was an Uchiha who had the Will of Fire and was recognized by the Second Generation.

"It seems I need to pay more attention to it." Sarutobi Hiruzen thought as he picked up his pipe and took a puff.

Shisui is the grandson of Uchiha Kagami and is extremely talented. Sarutobi Hiruzen knew of his existence before.

He hoped that Shisui could become an Uchiha like Uchiha Kagami.

Seeing Asuma begin to practice, Sarutobi Hiruzen canceled the telescope technique and began to deal with official business.

It was not until the evening that Sarutobi Hiruzen used the telescope technique to inspect Konoha, and then left the Hokage Building to go home for dinner.

At the dinner table, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked with a smile:

"Asuma, are you satisfied with the tutor? This is the teacher I carefully selected for you."

Asuma stopped eating and began to recall what happened today.

Before today, Asuma would have replied that Mu Yue was a bad teacher who deceived his students.

"Teacher Hanyu is very good, his teaching is much better than yours." Asuma praised Mu Yue while not forgetting to step on Sandai.

Although he was enlightened by Mu Yue, his resentment towards the third generation would not be eliminated in a short time.

"What do you know, little kid? I was the one who taught all the three ninjas." Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a glare and puffed out his beard when he was questioned.

"It's obvious that Aunt Tsunade and the others have extraordinary talents themselves," Asuma retorted that while the Sannin were famous, they had all forged their own paths.

"Sometimes, it's a sign of wisdom for a person to admit his or her own shortcomings," Asuma said, imitating Mu Yue's tone.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was speechless by his own good son. If he admitted it, he would be inferior to Mu Yue, and if he didn't admit it, he would be unwise, right?

Seeing his old father hesitant to speak, Asma felt much better and even had more energy to eat.

Chapter 37 Nature Change Cultivation

"Teacher Mu Yue, how long did you hold on this time?" Obito wiped the water stains off his face and looked at Mu Yue with anticipation.

It felt like he had been on the river for a long time, maybe an hour.

"You performed very well this time and persisted for twenty minutes." Mu Yue praised without reservation.

"Ah? Only twenty minutes. I thought it would be at least half an hour." Obito was a little disappointed.

On the river, he not only had to keep up the chakra output, but also had to pay attention to Mu Yue's water escape, observe the waves on the river, and be ready to dodge at any time, ensuring that this state made him feel like a long time had passed.

"You have completed the chakra control training and can start the nature change training." Mu Yue said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll go down right away." Obito has been practicing treading water recently, and subconsciously walked towards the river. After taking a few steps, he realized what Mu Yue had said.

"Finally, I don't have to tread water." Obito couldn't help but jump up and cheer with his fists clenched. He calmed down when he noticed that Shisui and Might Guy were looking at him.

"I've been stepping on water every day lately, and I'm getting used to the taste of the river water here." Obito couldn't help but complain.

Treading water is not like climbing a tree. For climbing a tree, as long as you adjust yourself or Mu Yue catches up quickly, everything will be fine.

If you don't control your treading water well, you will have to drink a lot of water.

Fortunately, not many people come here, and the river water is clean and clear, without any strange smell.

"Do you want to practice more?" Mu Yue asked jokingly.

"Forget it, forget it. I've been trying to avoid rivers whenever I see one lately." The tortured Obito chose not to be stubborn this time.

"It's better to start the nature change early. There are only fourteen days left before the competition." Obito felt that time was a little tight.

Next, in addition to the change in nature, Hao Huoqiu's proficiency had to be deepened.

"There will be enough time if you follow my arrangement." Mu Yue assured Obito.

This is just training to participate in a folk competition, not to fight Pain after training, so there is no need to practice the nature change too exaggeratedly.

With the support of the professor's skills and the fact that Mu Yue's Fireball has reached the proficiency level, it is very easy for Obito to improve his Fireball level.

After all, since it concerns the rewards for the training mission, Mu Yue has made careful plans.

Soon, Mu Yue's shadow clone brought a large wooden barrel. Mu Yue opened the barrel and took out an egg-sized ice cube and handed it to Obito.

"Put the ice cube on your palm, and then use chakra to change its properties to melt the ice cube." Mu Yue said the first step of the practice process of property change.

Nature change is considered a more difficult and advanced practice in the process of ninja training.

Even if you have enough chakra, if your level of ability to change the nature of the corresponding ninjutsu is not high enough, the power of the ninjutsu will be limited.

The practice of changing the nature of fire is a little more dangerous than that of wind, because the burning nature of fire may affect the practitioner.

At first, Mu Yue wanted Obito to burn the leaves, but if Obito could not turn the leaves into ashes instantly, Obito's hands would be burned by the burning leaves.

So Mu Yue thought of ice cubes. Because their temperature was low enough, they would only melt into water when they encountered flames. Obito's flame was not enough to heat the water in the ice cubes.

"It's so cold." Obito, holding the ice in his hand, took a breath of cold air. It was still spring, and the temperature was not high in the morning when the sun was not strong.

"Then release your chakra quickly." Mu Yue tapped Obito's head with two fingers together.

Obito felt pain, shrank his neck, and began to guide his chakra towards his palm, changing its nature and releasing it.

"When changing the properties, you must keep in mind the characteristics of fire, combustion and high temperature. Let your chakra burn and increase the temperature." Mu Yue reminded.

Obito stared at the ice in his hand and nodded, silently repeating the words burning and high temperature in his mind.

Two minutes later, Obito felt a stream of water appearing on his palm, and his face instantly showed joy.

"Teacher, the ice is melting!" Obito said happily.

"Why don't you take another ice cube and try holding it in your hand for a few minutes?" Mu Yue said.

Obito curiously dropped the ice in his hand, picked up another piece of ice of similar size, and held it in his hand without using chakra.

Then he was embarrassed to find that the degree of melting of ice into water was only slightly worse than before.

"The human body also has temperature. If you hold an ice cube of this size in your hand, it won't melt slowly even if you don't use chakra." Mu Yue explained, stroking his forehead.

Fortunately, the weather is not hot now. If it were summer, Obito would have to think that he was a genius in changing properties.

"Hehe, I always use my mouth when I use ninjutsu, and I'm a little uncomfortable using my hands now." Obito scratched his head and explained.

"When changing the properties, you must always remember the properties of fire." Mu Yue said as he took out a piece of ice as big as a human head and held it in his hand.

Zizizi! !

The moment Mu Yue finished speaking, a red light flashed, and the ice block as big as a human head immediately turned into bursts of white smoke, and then turned directly into water vapor and floated into the sky.

"High temperature, burning." Obito kept repeating these two words, and then continued to condense chakra in his palms and release it.

Soon the morning was over, and Obito could already feel his hands numb from the cold, and the skin on his hands had turned white and wrinkled due to prolonged contact with water.

"Thinking about it carefully, the river water tastes pretty good too." Obito regretted a little why he didn't agree to practice more with Mu Yue a few hours ago.
