Chapter 79 Those who are dying
"Hokage-sama, Master Tsunade told me that the swordsmanship of the Senju clan has been developed and compiled by the second generation master into Konoha-style swordsmanship and spread in the village. She is not good at swordsmanship and asked me to find a tutor in Konoha."
"Can you please recommend me a Konoha-style swordsman in the village?"
The day after returning to the village, Sasuke found Sarutobi Hiruzen at the mission release center. In order to avoid suspicion of collusion when looking for a teacher, he simply asked the Hokage to help.
There are only a few sword masters known in the village, so I wonder if Kakashi will be sent here in advance.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was in a good mood, but Tsunade was still unwilling to return to the village. I heard that Neji from Kaiban also had a talent for medical ninja. The medical class was really short of people. The New Year had just passed, and everything seemed to be going very smoothly.
"Sasuke, why are you in such a hurry? You will graduate in half a year, and you will definitely be assigned to teach jounin by then."
"I heard from Neji that Tsunade left a lot of homework for you two."
"Yes, Hokage-sama, there is a lot of schoolwork. But I can still squeeze in a lot of time. The chakra control training has taken a long time, and I also want to train in taijutsu to relax my brain."
"Huh? Hmm~"
Sarutobi Hiruzen stroked his beard and nodded, feeling that what Sasuke said was good, and he could use it when urging Konohamaru later.
"As for the tutor, it's a B-level mission, 20 taels, two weekends totaling four days. I will send him directly to you at that time."
"Okay, thank you, Hokage-sama."
Hiruzen Sarutobi agreed quickly, but he didn't say who he planned to call. Is it possible that he hadn't decided on a specific candidate yet?

The weekend comes quickly.
Early in the morning, I heard a long-lost knock on the door.
Friends who are familiar with each other always regard the living room door or bedroom door as the main entrance. The outer courtyard door of their own house is indeed a bit far away.
The slumped-looking man in front of me seemed familiar.
"You must be Uchiha Sasuke. I am Moonlight Hayate. The Hokage has ordered me to be your tutor."
"I am Sasuke Uchiha, please give me your advice."
"Your chakra feels a bit familiar to me. Have we met somewhere?" Sasuke opened his Sharingan and observed openly.
"Ahem, maybe we met in the village." When he was taking turns to monitor Naruto, he did meet Sasuke frequently, of course while wearing a mask.
Moonlight Hayate, the well-known protagonist of Shippuden. Unfortunately, his life is not long and he will not survive Shippuden. His strength seems to be just like that. It’s not that Brother Kaze and the picnic man Sasuke are a little disappointed. I wonder if 20 ryo will be enough. Some loss.
"You have mastered shadow clones, right? In addition to Uchiha's genjutsu, I will teach you Konoha-style swordsmanship and the Dance of the Three Crescent Moon during the class. It should be very suitable for you."
It was the weekend after all, and as the two began to practice sparring, the banging sound of the wooden sword soon attracted...Naruto.
As for the task of monitoring Naruto, Hayate naturally knew his schedule and was mentally prepared for it.
"Who are you! Why did you attack Sasuke!"
Naruto jumped halfway, but Sasuke grabbed his coat.
"This is the Jonin I invited to teach me swordsmanship, Moonlight Hayate-senpai."
Although he is only a special jounin, such small mistakes do not need to be corrected.
"Ah! So he is also your teacher... Well, Sasuke, can I follow suit? I usually follow your instructions and practice sword swinging!"
Naruto observed Hayate, "Hayate-senpai, have we met before somewhere? You feel so familiar to me."
Normally, if Naruto said this, people would think he was trying to build a relationship, but he had just said something similar once. Sasuke looked at Moonlight Hayate, who looked a little strange...Oh Moses Roy.
"Hayate-senpai, do you think it's okay to let Naruto participate? Or do you need to pay another tuition fee?"
Moonlight Hayate didn't answer Naruto's familiar doubts, pretending not to hear,
"If he wants to learn, let's go together. You always need a partner. If he doesn't know shadow clones and illusions, he can only practice swordsmanship."
Sasuke: …
Naruto: "Okay! Free teacher, Hayate-sensei, you are such a good person!"
Moonlight Hayate: It’s so easy to talk about yourself, but suddenly I don’t want to teach you what to do.
"Hey, Teacher Hayate, how do you know I can't clone you?"
Moonlight Blast:…
Sasuke thought Naruto wouldn't be able to react.
"I guess it's because your cloning skills are so bad that everyone in the school knows about it. Plus, you love to play pranks, so everyone knows about your embarrassing incident."
Naruto looked ugly and didn't think much about it, "How could this be? I want to be famous, but not because of this kind of thing."
"Then you should stop going around painting and playing pranks."
Moonlight Hayate took over at the right time, seeming to confirm Sasuke's statement.

20W is not too much of a loss.
Although... Hayate's swordsmanship is just like that. To be honest, swordsmanship alone is really not that good.
It just relies on illusion interference and multiple shadow clones to catch the enemy off guard. There is a way to draw the sword faster, but it seems a bit reckless to go straight.
How to cast illusions while wielding a sword while others are not paying attention. This can be said to be the most valuable thing he taught himself.
As we all know, ordinary people need to form seals to release illusions.
In order to demonstrate, Sasuke learned another useless illusion from Hayate - making the sword appear an afterimage, similar to the high flash of light in myopic eyes, with a double image.
Then watch him release the illusion by swinging his sword...
For me, the effect of his illusion is not very good. There are no regular seals, and the release effect is greatly reduced.
But a little trance and distraction are enough in the collision of swordsmanship.
It doesn't need to be strong in illusion, nor does it need to be strong in swordsmanship, but the two complement each other.
"You died again."
Congratulations to Mr. Hayate for once again succeeding in general without opening his Sharingan.
As for Naruto, it just kept dying, dying, dying...
Although the sword holding posture is pretty standard, the fighting experience is limited to situations where Sasuke does not use genjutsu and Sharingan during sparring. Originally, Naruto's swordsmanship was not very good, and he did not have the dynamic vision of his Sharingan, so Hayate would be dazzled if he added some illusions to his movements.
There is little room for improvement if he fails too quickly, so Hayate can only teach him some swordsmanship skills.
Compared with the swordsmanship skills he copied, although Hayate's swordsmanship didn't look very good, he had practiced it bit by bit. The training plan provided to Naruto is not only useful to Naruto, but also has a lot of reference value for himself.

Every morning I would take myself and Naruto to practice, take care of a meal at noon, and then give guidance for more than an hour in the afternoon.
It’s only a two-week weekend, and time flies by.
"That's all I can teach you. You just need to practice more from now on."
"Thank you Mr. Hayate."
It's a pity. I heard that Hayate's wife is very beautiful. I haven't seen her for a few days, so I don't know if it is true or not.
Naruto seemed to have planned it, and made a small wish when he was about to leave, "Mr. Hayate, can I ask you a favor?"
"how?"
"Just...if I fail the graduation exam, can you help me apply for graduation? I must be strong enough to be a genin."
"Why do you think you won't be able to graduate?" Moonlight Hayate was also a little confused. Naruto's strength, let alone genin, could destroy the village.
"You also know that I'm not good at using the clone technique, but every time my class teacher takes the test, he says it's a random question, but he always tests the clone technique. As a result, my grades are always at the bottom of the class. I'm afraid of the final graduation exam. I also encountered the Clone Technique and couldn't graduate. I heard from Xiao Li from Kai's class that he failed the Ninjutsu exam, but if Teacher Kai applies, he can graduate smoothly."
"Sorry Naruto, I can't promise you."
"Of course it's not because you are not strong enough, but because I have a fixed job and will not be the teacher."
Then there is nothing we can do about it.
Although he was a little disappointed to be rejected, Teacher Hayate also affirmed his strength, and Naruto felt a little happy.
