Starting from Hokage

Chapter 16: Apprenticeship (please collect, recommend, and reward)

Morning, Konoha Ninja School.

Final exam for first semester throwing class:

Dangdang!

There were three soft sounds in succession, almost in no particular order.

The three pitch black kunai were firmly nailed on the target in front of Hyuga Neji.

"Hyuga Neji, your throwing skills are excellent!" The Ninja School teacher who was recording on the side nodded with satisfaction, feeling in his heart that he is worthy of being the eldest son of the Hyuga clan. He is really talented!

It wasn't just the teacher's praise. The girls in the Naruto world were too precocious. Hinata Neji's neat movements caused a group of little nymphos not far away to scream.

"Neji is so handsome!"

"Look over here, look over here. He's looking at me, Neji is looking at me, oooh, I'm so shy!"

"Nonsense, Neji is looking at me, you nymphomaniac."

"She is really good-looking and strong, and her family background is impeccable!"

In this world of constant war, objectively speaking, children mature early, because they will get married at the age of seventeen, eighteen or even twelve or thirteen, so it is not an exaggeration to have a sense of admiration and adoration at this age.But Neji has been so popular since he was handsome since he was young.

On the other side of the examination room, a group of boys were also shouting in amazement.

"Rock Lee, your throwing skills are perfect!"

"Holy crap, this is impossible, right? How come he's improving so fast?"

"Although he didn't throw three kunai at the same time like Hyuga Neji, the throwing speed was also very fast. I saw that he didn't have much aim. Rock Lee was not from a ninja family, and there was no one to teach him after school. How come he’s progressing so fast?”

"I do not know!"

The faint exclamation coming from the other side made Hyuga Neji also glance to the side, just meeting Rock Lee's eyes.

The unimpressive boy with a watermelon head and thick eyebrows was stunned for a moment, then gave him a thumbs up and grinned.

(Uh, am I familiar with you?) Because today is the final exam, Hyuga Neji is here in his true form. After all, the shadow clone’s strength is far inferior to his true form. If he fails in the exam and the Hyuga clan loses face, No joke.

"Hyuuga Neji, knock down the opponent, ten points in physical combat!"

"Rock Lee, knock down the opponent, ten points in physical combat!"

However, Rock Li's outstanding performance only stopped here. Except for throwing and physical combat, Rock Li's performance in other disciplines could not be compared with Ningji's. Soon, his overall score was far behind. After shaking it off, Neji stopped paying attention to Rock Lee.

However, the substantial improvement in throwing, physical skills and cultural classes has allowed Locke Li to get rid of his previous poor performance in the class. In the first-level year, there is no practical ninjutsu or genjutsu practice, only the theory of ninjutsu. Locke Li's grades in these two subjects were also pretty good, as was studying illusion theory, which put his total score directly into the top ten in the class.

Graduation at the end of the first semester, after class.

Locke Lee ran to the gathering point excitedly with his schoolbag and saw Naruto who was practicing the basic twelve ninja seals.

"Naruto, Naruto, I am No. 9, the whole class is No. 9, and Neji is looking at me. This is the best score I have ever received!" Rock Lee was born as an orphan, and he had no one to share his joy with. Except for this friend in front of me.

"Well, great, that's awesome! What's next? Let's go out for a day?"

"No, I want to continue to strengthen my training. Although Neji and I are both very good at throwing and physical skills, he is obviously much better than me. He didn't even look at the three kunai, and he hit the target quickly. Accurate and ruthless, if I slack off, I'm afraid I will be far behind him soon." Regarding Naruto's proposal, Xiao Li directly rejected it, in his eyes... no, it was burning all over his body. With strong and high fighting spirit, it was as if a volcano was about to erupt.

"This answer is really in line with your character. Okay, let's continue to exercise more." Xiao Li didn't want to relax, so of course Naruto would accompany him to the end.

A person's progress can be addictive. Many people first go to the gym to pick up girls, but later they become addicted to masturbating. Every day they only focus on masturbating, and they lose interest in girls.

Therefore, it is really easy to become gay if you exercise too much, so everyone should take this as a warning.

Hitting trees, push-ups, squats, and skipping ropes. After a series of exercises, it was the physical training between Naruto and Rock Lee. Although the elder of the two was six years old and the younger was only five, they could both extract Chakra, so the movements are fast, the rabbit rises and the falcon falls, and the flying jump is quite interesting to watch.

Of course, chakra can be extracted in the first grade. This achievement is very outstanding among civilian ninjas. This is also the reason why Rock Lee can graduate from the Ninja School without being dismissed despite his poor grades in the original work. .

Many civilian children have studied for three years and have good grades in other subjects, even among the best in cultural classes, but they have never been able to extract chakra. People like this can only be said to have no ninja talent at all and have spent three years in vain.

The Kung Fu that Naruto and Rock Lee are currently practicing are all Konoha's basic Taijutsu, which are non-technical boxing techniques that are mainly used for training, not combat-type boxing techniques. Therefore, content such as vital attacks are basically There is none.

Taijutsu that is actually used to kill people is either taught privately by teachers/elders to particularly outstanding students, or it is actually learned in the last three years of Ninja School after the age of nine.In peacetime, children in Konoha who are interested in Ninja enter school at the age of six and graduate at the age of 12.

Therefore, Naruto and Rock Lee are fighting beautifully at this moment, with stretched movements and smooth moves, but they are not worth mentioning in the eyes of real ninjas. It can only be said that their basic skills are very solid.

After all, Naruto has the soul of an adult in his body. He endures pain and fights and has many ideas. Therefore, after more than ten rounds of fighting, Naruto relied on his years of training and his arrogant physique to suddenly destroy the routine and attack hard with his fists. Locke Lee He was completely unprepared, so he received several heavy blows to his cheek and lower abdomen under random punches, and was knocked to the ground directly.

"Haha, Xiao Li, when practicing martial arts, you must be flexible and flexible. Don't focus too much on routines. In actual combat, the goal is to win or lose, life or death." Naruto smiled and walked over and pulled Xiao Li up.

"Well, it's true. Naruto, you're still the best. I'm too brainless. That's what the teacher said about me."

However, Locke Li's words did not receive a response from Naruto. Locke Li looked up and saw Naruto staring blankly in the direction behind him. He followed his gaze and saw a strong figure wearing a green vest. The man came over with a serious face.

"Hello...Hello." Although he didn't know the other party, Locke Li also knew that the other party was a ninja of Konoha. For him and Naruto, he was an extremely noble person.

However, Locke Li had just bowed and saluted when the man in front of him suddenly punched out and directly knocked Naruto behind him away. He punched so hard that Naruto's entire face was deformed. It flew backwards like a cannonball far away, blood spurted in mid-air, and it hit the ground hard.

"What are you doing?" Seeing Naruto being knocked down, Locke Li turned around and kicked the opponent fiercely, turning around and attacking the opponent. This was the most powerful trick he had mastered.However, he was easily parried by the opponent's casual gesture.

(Metkay is crazy! Huh...I can't stand it when people are under the eaves.) Standing up with his hands on his cheeks, Naruto was very aware of the opponent's identity and the gap in strength between the two parties. He got up and saw Rock Lee being easily knocked down. He did not attack again, but ran over to hug Locke Li, who was curled up on the ground and still crawling towards Metkai, and dragged him back. Although Metkai was strong, he was not very smart. We cannot afford to compete with fools to death. knock.

"Do you know why I hit you?"

"Maybe, because I secretly changed my Taijutsu routine?" Naruto said with a roll of his eyes.

"Well, you are really smart. This is a good thing, but it is also not a good thing. Smart people learn things quickly and know how to learn and apply them flexibly, but smart people often do not have perseverance. It is difficult for such people to Become a truly strong man." When he said this, Metkai did not continue to talk about it, he folded his hands in front of his chest and said:

"At such a young age, you know how to learn and use it flexibly, and you are flexible in actual combat. This is good. But the Taijutsu framework of Konoha Ninja School, which has been revised and summarized by countless Jonin and even Hokage-sama, has its reason. Why this move is played like this takes into account the opponent's move and the opponent's response. It often takes several years or even ten years to fully understand the truth. When you are still learning the rules, you have to break them, and you still have to break them. By imparting your ideas to your friends, you are harming yourself and him, so I want to wake you up and make you remember."

Originally, Metkay's punch was so heavy that it made Naruto extremely angry and resentful. However, at this moment, Metkay's words made Naruto freeze. He remembered A passage I saw on the Internet in my previous life:

"If you want to break the rules and move forward, you must first understand all the rules clearly. People who feel that all the rules in the world are false at a young age are often hopeless mediocrities and losers."

"There may be people in this world who are born with knowledge, but the vast majority of us are still ordinary people."

Konoha's taijutsu postures are for pure skills, not for actual combat. You just have to give up your strengths and chase the weaknesses, and you will also pass this idea on to your friends around you. Ningci and Hinata are seen by the elders of the Hyuga family. There is no problem, but Xiao Li next to him may have his life ruined because of his influence.

"Well, it seems that you have already figured it out. Boy, I think you are very enlightened. Do you want to be my disciple?" Looking at the wound at the corner of Naruto's mouth that was gradually closing, a light flashed in Metkai's eyes, and he revealed With sharp front teeth, he said this in what he thought was his most handsome posture.

Of course, Metkay's self-proclaimed handsome appearance was completely stupid in someone's eyes.

(But why is it me? Shouldn't I be interested in Xiao Li?) Naruto was also very surprised at this moment. Although he planned to befriend Rock Li in order to get to know Metkai, Naruto did not expect that he would be seen. However, Xiao Li lost the election.

"Naruto, come on, seize the opportunity!" Although there was a moment of grievance and sadness, Rock Lee still patted Naruto on the shoulder and said this, and then he turned and ran away. He didn't want to affect his friend's opportunity and delay his. future.

However, Rock Li, who had just turned around and was about to run away, suddenly felt a heavy weight on his shoulder, and then he tripped under his feet and fell.

He forced Locke Li to turn around, and then Naruto Uzumaki bowed deeply and said, "Master, please accept me and Xiao Li. We will definitely work hard and we will not let you down."

Staring at the two brats in front of him with a serious expression, Konoha Jonin Metkai did not respond for a long time.

Locke Lee struggled to refuse, but was pressed firmly by Naruto while looking into Metkai's eyes.

"Hey, kid, do you think I am someone who will accept a disciple at will?" At this moment, the Chinese-faced Metkai looked extremely scary. After all, he is a powerful jounin. Even if he is a little stupid, he still has majesty. .

"Naruto, Naruto, why are you so stupid?"

"...I insist, please."

(I wanted to live, so I used many strategies and methods, but I couldn’t do such a thing if I ruined my friend’s life!)

"Please, I know how hard-working Xiao Li is, please accept him, he will not let you down."

"In this case... then before dawn, run two hundred laps around the playground. If you can do it, I will accept you two as my disciples." The next moment, Metkai's figure flashed, and it was already Disappeared without a trace.

"...Naruto, wuwuwuwuwu." At this moment, Xiao Li next to Naruto's legs was so moved that he couldn't live anymore, and the tears on his cheeks flowed into S noodle shapes.

"Don't be moved. Run two hundred laps around the playground before dawn. Run quickly first, and then talk about other things after you finish." He pulled Locke Li up with a kick, and then the two boys looked like two people under the moon. Running like a madman.

While running around the moon, Naruto once again seemed to see the figure that had almost become a nightmare in his heart: his eyes were so indifferent and aloof, but he was also so lonely and helpless.

(Taiyin, you wait, I will surpass you, I will defeat you, but I...but I will never become you! Absolutely not!)

At the same time, on the other side, the Hokage's office.

The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, was watching everything that just happened with a crystal ball, while the elite Jonin Hatake Kakashi stood in front of him, standing still until the Third Generation turned off the image.

"Sandaime-sama, Akai's taijutsu is not suitable for Jinchuuriki training. The Eight Gate Dungeon can stimulate a person's potential and burst out a large amount of chakra, but the chakra of the Nine-Tails is infinite compared to humans." Hatake Kakashi took a step forward and said this.

"Originally, I planned to let you take care of Naruto in a few years. Now that Akai is willing to take charge of this matter, it's good. The nine-tailed chakra will interfere with Naruto's illusion and ninjutsu training. So, in In the first few years, it is also a good choice for Naruto to concentrate on practicing Taijutsu." After thinking for a moment, the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen replied in a low voice, and the third generation master said this, Kakashi no longer Saying more, he saluted and left in a blink of an eye.
