The light of leaves

Chapter 7 Ordinary Geniuses

In the small forest on the mountain behind the ninja school, the afterglow of the setting sun gradually disappeared on the horizon.

Like a stone statue that lost its soul, Asma stood in the forest and muttered, "Impossible, impossible..."

On the side, Soseki twirled the "silk thread" on his fingertips and asked, "Asma-san, is this Chakra?"

Asma came back to her senses and looked at Soseki with complicated eyes, "How could it be possible to learn how to refine chakra so quickly? Could it be that I can't match him in ninja talent?"

It takes about half a month to a month for a person of medium ability to learn to refine chakra, but it only takes three days for a genius to do it—this is when he refined chakra in three days, the special ninja What the governess had said.

He didn't think it took Soseki half a month to learn how to refine chakra. As a "strong man" recognized by him, it was very reasonable to learn how to refine chakra within five days.

However, it has been less than 10 minutes since I taught him. I am a genius, so what is he... Asma stared at Soseki with the eyes of a monster, and finally couldn't help asking, "You, are you How did you succeed in refining it once?"

Soseki shook his head slightly, "Actually, this is not the first time I have refined chakra."

Asma asked confused, "Ah? Didn't you say that no one taught you how to refine Chakra?"

"Maybe Asma, you don't know, I have been working as a nurse for patients in the hospital. Although I don't have Chakra myself, I have actually seen nurses refining Chakra many times." Soseki smiled. He explained, "And today, didn't Yagami-sensei talk a lot about Chakra system theory?"

"Ah? Is there?" Asma asked in a daze.

It's not that he was distracted in class or fell asleep, but he had learned this knowledge in advance, but he himself never paid attention to theory. In his opinion, it is better to practice the speed of seal printing if he has this time.

Soseki was not surprised by Asma's reaction at all. In the ninja school, theoretical knowledge has never been valued. What the teachers value more is the students' practical operation and on-the-spot adaptability.

Therefore, when conducting some theoretical exams, the school not only does not object to cheating, but even encourages students to cheat, as long as the means of cheating are not too obvious.

"Of course there are." Soseki said in a gentle tone, unhurriedly, "I also learned a complete theoretical knowledge today, and on this basis, combined with some previous understanding of Chakra, I barely figured out the importance of refining Chakra. What's going on, it's a pity that the refining method I imagined is too rough, and I haven't succeeded in refining it all day today, and you did it after you told me the complete chakra refining method, classmate Asma."

"Oh, that's right." With so much foreshadowing, Asma found it much easier to accept.

But what he didn't know was that he could reversely deduce the method of refining chakra just by watching others refine chakra and understand the theory of chakra. This is actually far more terrifying than refining chakra for the first time.

With that said, Asma said with full of energy, "As expected of my destined enemy! But I want to remind you that chakra is only the foundation, and ninjutsu is the root of ninja! Those mediocre ninjas may need to use it for several years , to learn the most basic three-body technique, but for a talented genius like us, the routine is broken!"

Soseki nodded approvingly, yes, the world has never been fair.

Seeing that Soseki agreed with her point of view, Asma was even more happy. For the first time, a feeling of confidant arose in her heart, "Go, I invite you to eat super delicious ramen."

"Let me ask you, without your help, I would be very troubled today."

"But, is the relief fund given by the village enough?" Asma hesitated, and he also knew that Soseki's family situation would not be very good.

"Have you forgotten, I'm still helping out in the hospital." Soseki smiled warmly like a little sun, "At least, it's okay to treat friends to a meal of ramen."

"Friend, is this a friend?" Asma whispered to herself, feeling her nose sore, and then quickly changed the subject, "By the way, I think your skill in manipulating the chakra line just now seems to be quite powerful. How did you do it?"

"Well, it's mainly to test the ability to coordinate and control the body and mind. If you want to learn, I suggest you start with ordinary suturing operations... By the way, you can pick up a lot of them in the vegetable market that haven't been peeled clean. animal flesh."

Seeing Soseki say such a horrible thing in the most gentle tone, Asma couldn't help laughing twice, "Ha...haha, forget it, I don't plan to be a puppeteer or a medical ninja."

……

The family of three generations of Hokage.

"Today should be Asma's first day of school, right?" Seeing that Asma hadn't come home so late, Sandai rubbed his brows and sighed, "It's only the first day, so it's so annoying."

"Master Hokage, you may really have misunderstood Master Asma this time." The ninja standing aside respectfully replied. (The suffix of Yebisu's address to Konoha Maru is Young Master)

"Oh?" Sandai looked aside in surprise, he knew that although Takeuchi Taiga was a bit tactful, he would never dare to lie to him about this kind of thing.

"Can you tell me what's going on?"

"According to the information I got, Master Asma performed very well in school today! He is the only person in the class who hoped to serve everyone and ran for class president. Although he failed in the election, Master Asma turned out to be We became close friends with each other..." Taihe Takeuchi "briefed" the process in the middle, "Master Asma didn't go home today because he wanted to help his friend master the method of refining chakra as soon as possible."

"Oh? Asma lost!" The third generation's eyes lit up. Although his son has a somewhat rebellious personality, his talent is indeed good. Coupled with the bonus of being the son of Hokage, how could he fail in the election? I didn't expect it either.

But after hearing the back, he felt more and more wrong.

"Sorrow? Friends? Help?" The corners of the third generation's mouth twitched slightly, "Your statement made me even more confused. Can you tell me the details of the incident?"

Takeuchi Taihe took out a document with embarrassment and handed it to Sandai.

Looking at the records on the document, the corners of the third generation's eyes twitched wildly, and Asma's performance was indeed "bright".

Well, almost blinded his old eyes.

But soon, his attention was attracted by another person mentioned in the document.

"Are the descendants of civilian ninjas who died in the war? It's hard for him to still have such a positive and sunny attitude."

The third generation sighed slightly, at this moment, his eyes were suddenly attracted by a sentence on the document, and he couldn't move away, "It's not that only the Hokage can be recognized by everyone, but only those who are recognized by people... To become Hokage!"

"This kind of belief..." Sandai was really moved this time, he really couldn't imagine that such words came from the mouth of a five-year-old child.

"I saw the brilliance of the 'will of fire' in him! It is because of descendants like them that everything we do is meaningful, and the heroic will that died in the war can continue to be passed on."

After pondering for a moment, Sandai said again, "Remind me about the match in half a month."

Takeuchi Taihe said in surprise, "Master Hokage, do you want to go there yourself..."

The third generation smiled, "Don't think too much, I just...as a father, I care about my son's performance."

Takeuchi Dahe's face suddenly changed, isn't he just a tool man, I understand!
