Unexpected
It has been more than half a month since the last time I was late. The local student has already begun his mission life. During this period, I only met him once. He has changed quite a lot. Although he still looks like a chatterbox, he has matured a lot. From the vicious look in his eyes, I was sure that he had killed someone.
It was no wonder. This was the tense period of the third Ninja World War. Almost as soon as one graduated and became a Genin, they would go out on patrol with their instructor. From there, they would officially begin their life of walking between life and death. There were no bullsh * t missions like 'plucking grass' or 'finding Tiger' for the noobs to practice on.
Actually, I already had the ability to graduate from the Ninja School. The biggest reason why I didn't graduate was because of my psychological resistance to killing. After all, in his previous life, he was born in a civilized society ruled by law. Although he often said that he wanted to kill all the Japanese, kill the Indians, and beat up the Indians, he had never even killed a chicken. Even the food market smelled fishy. In terms of killing, he had only killed flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches, caterpillars, and so on. He just instinctively resisted the feeling of taking away another life with his own hands.
"Qi, after school today, you don't have to go train anymore. Grandpa wants to see you.”During class, Sunflower whispered to me.
Actually, when I told the second elder about my encounter with Orochimaru through Sunflower, I was already mentally prepared. Since I don't want to become cannon fodder, I can only show my value. Although I was mentally prepared, my mind was still in a mess. I didn't listen to the rest of the lesson. My mind was filled with thoughts of what the Second Elder would say to me and how I should answer. In the past, he wasn't so nervous when he was caught red-handed by the teacher skipping class and surfing the internet. His mental quality was still not up to standard!
The place where the Second Elder lived was a small courtyard with a rockery and a pond. The layout should have many tricks and details. Unfortunately, I couldn't understand it. I only felt that this courtyard was very unique and looked very comfortable.
"Second Elder." Standing outside the door, I knocked three times carefully. Although I knew that he definitely knew that I was at the door, I still had to do the necessary posture and etiquette.
"It's Kai, right? Come in." His voice wasn't loud, but it was very dignified.
Pushing open the door, the second elder closed his eyes and knelt opposite me. He took off his shoes and entered the house. He gave the second elder a family bow and stood respectfully at the side. At the same time, he used his peripheral vision to look around the room. The room was not big, and there was a sliding door on each side. There was no other decoration except for the word 'endure' hanging in the middle. The Second Elder was sitting directly below the word 'endure.'
"Have a seat." After about ten seconds, the Second Elder finally spoke.
"Yes." I answered and sat down. He didn't speak, and I couldn't speak either. The room seemed very quiet.
"Orochimaru recommended you to Naruto and said that you can graduate from the Ninja School. Naruto approved it." In my imagination, he should have beaten me up before getting to the point. I didn't expect him to be so straightforward.
"Does the clan agree?" Although I was a little surprised by the second elder's straightforwardness, his words were not out of my expectations.
"Oh, why should I care about what the family thinks? I know that you don't value your family very much.”Although his sitting posture, expression, and voice didn't change at all, I could feel his surprise and playfulness.
"Without a clan, I can't survive. I need the clan's affirmation.”It would be foolish to lie now. He would never know my most important secret anyway.
"Hehe, just like Orochimaru said, you are very smart. But what can you give? What will you get for the clan?"
"All I can offer is my loyalty. As you can see, I have great potential and my strength is also very outstanding among my peers. It's just that I haven't received any formal guidance. If the family is willing to nurture me, I believe that in a few years, I will be able to bring glory to the family.”Since the outcome of becoming a chess piece of the family could no longer be changed, all I could do was to try my best to show my value. Even if I couldn't be a general, I couldn't be a pawn like the one with the soil and the one with the water. I wanted to be a chariot.
"Very good. I believe that you won't disappoint the clan.”The 2nd Elder finally revealed a smile. It was obvious that he was quite satisfied with my answer.
Pa, pa. The Second Elder clapped his hands lightly. The sliding door on the left side of the room was pulled open, and a handsome young man walked in.
It's not simple. It completely hid from my perception. It's very powerful. This is my first impression of this person.
"He is Uchiha Tomioka, the pillar of the family. In the future, he will be your special teacher.”From his tone, it seemed that the Second Elder appreciated this young man.
Uchiha Tomioka, isn't this Itachi and Sasuke's father? The future leader of the Uchiha family was indeed a ruthless character. God, you really gave me a surprise! Now, I'm sinking deeper and deeper into the mud of Muye.
I didn't dare to neglect this future clan leader. I immediately bowed respectfully and said,"Teacher Fuqiu!"”
"If the family has any requests for you in the future, Fuqiu will convey them to you. In other words, you are also his subordinate.”
"Yes."
"Alright, you guys can leave first." The Second Elder waved his hand, and Uchiha and Tomioka bowed respectfully before retreating.
Fuqiu will be my teacher in the future. As a teacher, he naturally has to understand my current progress. Sparring was inevitable.
" Teacher Fukuoka, please guide me." I took out my Kunai and assumed a basic battle stance.
"Alright, let's begin." As he spoke, he threw a Kunai over. What a shameless fellow. From his appearance, he was at least a Jounin, yet he still wanted to attack me, a little brat who wasn't even a Jounin.
His left hand also threw out a Kuna, and his whole body rushed forward at the same time.
Clang! The two Kunas collided with a metallic sound.
His right hand grabbed Ku Ai and slashed it fiercely, but he dodged it sideways.
I bent my left knee and slammed it into his crotch. In the end, he used his hand to support me and threw me out. We were not on the same level at all.
His right hand gave up on the Kuna in his hand, and his left hand threw out a shuriken. In the end, it was completely useless and easily dodged.
I don't have any hope of hitting him, I'm just stalling for time. My hands began to quickly form seals. My speed of forming seals was at least at the level of a Chuunin. As soon as his feet landed on the ground, he completed the Fire Escape Grand Fireball Technique with his ninjutsu and spewed out raging flames, engulfing him.
Not good, relying on my instincts, I instantly used the Substitute Technique. The next moment, a wooden stake was split in half.
……
I was completely suppressed. My offensive methods were completely useless. Jounin was indeed a Jounin. He was able to play with me with just simple physical techniques and three body techniques. There was no other way. I had already tried my best. I knew too few things now, and my attack methods were too simple. I was facing an opponent who suppressed me in all aspects.
"That's enough. I've already understood your level.”Fukuoka saw that I was at the end of my rope and called for a halt.
I stopped and held my knees as I panted.
"Very good. Qi, your fundamentals are very solid. Go back and rest first. I will set your cultivation plan today and start your formal training tomorrow.”
" Understood, Teacher Tomioka." He usually felt that his strength was quite good, but when he started fighting, he felt that his hands and feet were tied. However, he discovered many shortcomings that he usually ignored.
