Konoha: I am cursed with immortality

Chapter 75
Early the next morning.

Uesugi Toru started what Tsunade set for him, called "Assessment", which was actually a strength test for "fine money".

"Oh, stupid teacher, do you think I don't know, you just want to cheat me to gamble? Don't worry, I won't let you succeed!"

At the beginning, Uesugi Toru was very confident, and the threshold Tsunade set for him was not too high, claiming that as long as Uesugi Toru could get within three steps of her, he would be considered a pass.

Within three steps?

Uesugi Toru naturally felt that this was a trivial matter.

After all, along the way, his strength has improved a lot, and not long ago he was famous in the ninja world, playing Kirigakure around.

Under such circumstances, Uesugi Toru believes that he has enough strength now. Even if he faces Tsunade, one of the Sannin, although he will not win, it should not be difficult to pass.

The result can be...

At the beginning of the test, Toru Uesugi increased his speed to the extreme, ready to rush towards Tsunade, intending to complete the assessment in one fell swoop.

However, Tsunade threw a punch lightly and slammed it on the ground, instantly shaking the hard and thick ground with cracks, causing the ground to vibrate violently.

Gravel rose from the sky.

Uesugi Toru's figure that was moving forward at a high speed swayed violently, and after taking two steps, he lost his center of gravity, his speed was greatly reduced, and he almost couldn't stand still.

And at this time, Tsunade threw another punch, and a huge boulder that hadn't fallen yet was hit by her light punch, instantly turned into a cannonball, and rushed directly towards Uesugi Toru.

boom!
Uesugi Toru was hit hard by the boulder from the lasing, and his whole body was directly knocked into the air.

One kill!

Even if Uesugi Toru's Chakra strength has reached the level of a Jonin, he can use his strange power skillfully, and his wind escape ninjutsu is also proficient, but his combat awareness is too poor.

Even without showing it, it has already lost.

"If you fail the first assessment, you will be fined 100 taels." Tsunade said flatly.

Mute: "..."

She had known Tsunade's "trick" for a long time, and at this moment, looking at Uesugi Toru who fell to the ground, she suddenly felt a little emotional.

What I feel is that fortunately, I came out of a wild area outside the town. If this is done in a small town, I don’t know how much ground maintenance fees I will have to pay.

Then, the next day.

The assessment continues.

Uesugi Toru learned the lesson from yesterday, so he stopped rushing forward.

While rushing forward at extreme speed, Toru Uesugi changed his trajectory irregularly, and at the same time he mustered up his energy to deal with the cracks on the ground smashed by Tsunade.

Under such precautions, Uesugi Toru dodged the cracks on the ground caused by Tsunade's huge force, as well as the violent vibrations on the ground.

He moved back and forth from left to right, and did not rush forward blindly. Under the flickering of his figure, although the speed was still the same as yesterday, he was not so embarrassed.

However, it can prevent ground vibrations and cracks in the ground, but it cannot prevent the boulder shells that are crazily lasing.

No matter how Uesugi Toru moves and evades, those boulders are slapped lightly by Tsunade, and they frantically chase Uesugi Toru as if they have eyes.

boom!
Hit by a boulder shell again, Uesugi took off again.

Two kills!

"It's still a bit of progress, but... the second assessment, if you fail, you will be fined 200 taels." Tsunade looked at Uesugi Toru who fell on the ground, and said with a smile.

"Eh? Isn't it 100 taels?" Jing Yin on the side was a little surprised.

Tsunade smiled triumphantly: "Hey, I didn't say it's 100 taels every time, it depends on my mood."

Mute: "..."

Exploitation!

This is blatant exploitation!

Toru Uesugi was hit by a boulder, and his whole body was numb and painful. It was difficult to get up, but his ears were fine.

Hearing Tsunade's words, I wanted to cry but had no tears.

Tsunade also said that as long as Toru Uesugi continues to fail, the assessment will not stop, and the fine will become higher and higher.

Moreover, the assessment criteria will be superimposed every day. If it was not completed the previous day, it will be completed the next day, and new assessment criteria will be added the next day.

If Toru Uesugi has no money, then he can find a way by himself.

Jing Yin sighed. Fortunately, he asked his junior brother to pay half a year's rent and meal expenses in advance. Otherwise, the money would have to be donated to the casino again.

For the next month, Toru Uesugi was tortured every morning, and then practiced by himself in the afternoon. One reason was that, during Tsunade's assessment, Toru Uesugi found that his fighting consciousness was gradually improving.

He not only had to summarize the failure experience that morning, but also formulated strategies to deal with the next day's assessment.

Secondly, Tsunade was going to the casino in the afternoon, so he didn't have time to teach Uesugi Toru how to practice.

In a month's time, Uesugi Toru's combat awareness has improved by leaps and bounds, which is incomparable. He is stronger than when he first arrived here a month ago.

Although other ninjutsu remained unchanged, Uesugi Toru also benefited from the improvement in combat awareness, and his strength increased exponentially.

Uesugi Toru, who knew this well, of course knew that Tsunade set up this assessment not because of fines, but to let him understand that sometimes in battle, consciousness is always more useful than ninjutsu.

Of course, fines are also important.

During this time, Tsunade lost all the thousands of taels fined from Toru Uesugi.

Although Toru Uesugi was heartbroken, there was nothing he could do.

At the beginning of the assessment, Toru Uesugi couldn't even get close to Tsunade's ten-step distance. Naturally, it was difficult to achieve the assessment index based on "within three steps".

But after Uesugi Toru's unremitting efforts, within a few days he was within the range of three steps in front of Tsunade.

After passing the first assessment standard, Toru Uesugi began to break through the next assessment standard.

After a month, Uesugi Toru could be defeated by a stone thrown by Tsunade from the beginning, and he was even able to confront Tsunade head-on in the end.

This kind of progress has exceeded Tsunade's expectations. In Tsunade's opinion, it will take at least three months for Uesugi Toru to reach this level.

Unexpectedly, Toru Uesugi completed the assessment task in just one month.

But in the end, even though Toru Uesugi used all kinds of tricks, even using the Bamen Dunjia, he still couldn't do anything to get Tsunade.

There is still a big gap.

boom!
On this day, Toru Uesugi was beaten into the air again.

No.30 kill!

Uesugi Toru, who fell to the ground, was not upset at all even though he was defeated. Instead, he laughed.

After hard work, he has now been able to fight Tsunade for more than [-] rounds, which is indeed a great improvement.

Although he knew, Tsunade didn't use his full strength.

"Okay, that's all for today's assessment, you've passed, Kimura." Tsunade looked at the fallen disciple in front of him, a gratified smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Sure enough, this Uesugi Toru, although his head is not very bright, and his EQ is low enough, but his cultivation talent is really good.
