Chapter 28 New Member 'Pete'
"Sister, I'm back!"
"Ah, our ninja is back, come and try the latest soup dish I developed."
At Ichiraku Ramen, Ayame, who was busy in the kitchen, excitedly brought a small bowl of ramen to Suzumiya Musashi. The fragrant soup was sprinkled with fresh chopped vegetables, which looked very tempting.
"Sister, let's eat the food later. Look what I brought you... Ding ding ding ding!"
Suzumiya Musashi took out a puppy from behind him as if he was presenting a treasure.
"Huh? Musashi, is this the puppy you bought?"
"I didn't buy it. It's a gift from me to you. Do you like it?"
This is a white puppy, which looks somewhat similar to an Akita Inu, but is smaller, about the same size as a kitten, and Suzumiya Musashi can hold it with one hand.
There are round black eyebrows above his eyes, and at this moment he shows a helpless expression in a very human way.
"Puppies? I like them very much, but... Musashi, you can't bring your pet with you when you cook."
"Sister, you can leave him at home. He can accompany you when you get off work. When I'm on a mission outside, you won't miss me too much with Pete around." Suzumiya Musashi said with a smile.
"Tsk, little brat, I won't miss you at all."
"Wait till I get him something to eat. Also, 'Pete' is a terrible name. Let's change it."
"No taste, Pete sounds very handsome, okay!" The puppy spoke in human language, which immediately frightened Acorus so much that his eyes turned into circles.
"Ah! This...this puppy can talk!" Acorus pointed at Pete and shouted in shock.
Suzumiya Musashi could only explain with a smile: "Sister, Pete is not an ordinary puppy, he is a ninja dog, very smart, smarter than the Inuzuka clan."
"And you don't have to prepare food for it. I'll take care of its diet. Sister, when I'm not at home in the future, Peter can protect you."
After hearing Suzumiya Musashi's explanation, Ayame finally came to her senses.
"Musashi, you're so stupid. You didn't tell me in advance and scared me." Patting her chest, she said, "This kind of ninja dog must be precious, right? How did you get it, Musashi?"
"It's not that difficult." Suzumiya Musashi smiled foolishly: "I asked Kakashi-senpai to help. With him, I can feel more at ease when I'm outside."
"Shouldn't ninja dogs fight together with ninjas? Musashi, you left it with me, so how can you..." Seeing Suzumiya Musashi's unhappy look, Ayame smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I get it. Then I'll let Pete stay at home."
Suzumiya Musashi was finally satisfied. "That's good enough!"
Ayame reached out and stroked the back of Suzumiya Musashi's head and said happily: "It seems that our Musashi has become an outstanding ninja master."
Suzumiya Musashi narrowed his eyes in enjoyment: "Sister, I will always protect you."
Pete looked at the two humans in front of him showing off their love, and his pair of beautiful dog eyes were speechless.
"Tsk!~ As if everyone doesn't have a girlfriend, I have one too! And her fur is very bright!... Hey! Musashi, don't forget the premium ninja dog food you promised me!"
"Don't worry, Pete. I've prepared everything. Just stay by your side. If I have something to eat, you'll have something to eat, too."
In the following days, the Ebisu team began to slowly get used to each other.
Although Ebisu is a little cocky, he is indeed a responsible teacher.
Not long after, he actually went to the Hokage and brought Nojiri Oki a scroll of ninjutsu that the painter specialized in.
Although it is only a ninjutsu below C-level, it is already very good. Nojiri Oki's favorability towards Ebisu suddenly increased significantly.
He spent the most time teaching Uchiha Izumi.
Lurking and camouflage, tactical customization, and intelligence analysis.
Perhaps it is true that good students are more likely to receive the favor of teachers. Ebisu devoted himself to the task, determined to train Uchiha Izumi to become the best graduate of this year.
Make him a team captain with the strength of a Chunin as soon as possible.
All three of them could feel that Ebisu was indeed far superior to the teaching level of the Ninja School.
The mastery of ninja knowledge is comprehensive and excellent.
Uchiha Izumi was also very satisfied.
Although this lecherous teacher is only a special jonin, he is no worse than the guiding jonin of other teams.
Of course, this is just what I think in my heart and I won’t say it out loud.
After all, he is your teacher, so you should protect his self-esteem.
But for Suzumiya Musashi, the situation is more complicated.
The complexity lies in that he is not as confident about how to train Suzumiya Musashi as he is about Uchiha Izumi.
Suzumiya Musashi is good at physical skills, but he himself said that his research in physical skills is not top-notch.
According to what he said.
There are many kinds of taijutsu in Konoha.
But in the ninja world, the only physical skill that Konoha is really famous for is the Gentle Fist. The rest are either physical skills with little future or rare forbidden skills.
He had seen powerful forbidden physical techniques before, but the caster was already dead.
The Hyuga clan, as a well-deserved major clan of Konoha, its members rely on the powerful bloodline limit - the Byakugan, which allows them to see through the human body's acupuncture points and the flow of chakra.
With this powerful bloodline limit, one can bring the precision and elegance of physical techniques to the extreme.
During the long war, the reputation of "Eight Trigrams Sixty-four Palms" and "Return of Heaven" spread throughout the ninja world.
As a civilian ninja, Suzumiya Musashi does not possess this kind of bloodline limit, and will never be able to match the physical skills of the Hyuga family.
On the path to becoming a physical ninja, you can only fight your way through slowly.
After all, in this ninja world, it is very rare to become a strong person by relying on physical skills.
Most of them are gifted ninjas who gain excellent fighting abilities by feeding their powerful chakra into their bodies.
Then there are the ninjas of Kumogakure, who are famous for their strong bodies.
But the Hidden Cloud Village was able to achieve this through the combination of Lightning Release Chakra and Ninjutsu, plus a little bit of genetic difference.
Suzumiya Musashi can't rely on anyone.
Therefore, according to his simple estimation, he could only work hard to hone his physical skills, and after growing up, he might be able to barely reach the level of a jonin in physical skills.
If your ninjutsu is not outstanding, you can only wear a tank outfit that outputs individual skills, and you need the cooperation of your teammates to complete the task.
Therefore, we still need to improve our ninjutsu skills.
Suzumiya Musashi listened and nodded, yes, yes.
Ebisu didn't know that at this moment in Konoha Village, there was a rare beast named Might Guy who was accumulating strength and was full of youth.
Many years later, when youth blossoms, the history of ninja taijutsu will be rewritten.
There is no soft fist in front of the hard fist.
Once the eight gates are opened, the world will be at its peak.
There was no need to explain these things to Ebisu.
He is not sure now that he can reach Might Guy's level.
But overall, he was satisfied with Ebisu.
The other party didn't lie.
He does have a comprehensive grasp of the basic knowledge of various ninjutsu.
So when he has nothing to do, he will also ask some questions he wants to ask.
"Teacher Ebisu, you said that the ninjas of Kumogakure can use lightning to increase their physical strength. Can you explain it in detail?"
"Will Lightning Chakra cause harm to the body, or are there any side effects?"
"Teacher Ebisu, what is the most powerful combination of wind ninjutsu and fire ninjutsu?"
"Teacher Ebisu, have you ever learned about the interaction between physical strength and chakra refinement? You said that chakra can improve physical strength and thus improve physical skills. So... through exercise to improve physical strength, and then to increase chakra, has Konoha done any research in this regard?"
"Teacher Ebisu? The power of the bloodline limit is strong, but the initial bloodline limit has a process of appearance. What is the principle of inheriting ninjutsu through bloodline?"
"Teacher Ebisu..."
"Musashi, this question... I may need to confirm this question before I can tell you." Ebisu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Suzumiya Musashi was an unexpected figure among his students.
The other party always comes up with some mind-blowing ideas, which make him think things like "What kind of weird question is this?" "Oh my god, what's wrong with your brain?" "Can you understand it this way?"
It’s just that some things sound like fairy tales when you first hear them, but when you think about it carefully, it seems impossible to refute them.
He felt that his career as a ninja instructor was challenged.
Instead of saying things like “Young man, don’t be too ambitious and focus on refining your chakra,” he would go back and look up the information seriously, trying to refute the other party’s fantastic ideas in an orderly manner the next day.
The life of a Genin is dull and plain.
The Ebisu team began to accept missions one after another.
Of course, they were all low-level tasks like catching cats and walking dogs, or physical work like weeding and plowing the fields.
A large number of Genin made important contributions to the harmonious life of Konoha.
With them, the seedlings in the fields thrive;
With them, Konoha's sewers remained unobstructed;
With them, Konoha Village can become a model of civilization among all the countries in the ninja world.
"It's so annoying! When will this trivial task be finished?" Uchiha Izumi threw the hoe in his hand to the ground and said angrily.
"Just wait, this is how all ninjas got here." Nojiri Oki said as he started drawing on the drawing board in front of him.
"Wait? Wait until how long! Itachi has graduated for several years and has become a capable ninja now, but I'm still here doing some D-rank tasks. Plowing the land is a job for oxen and horses, not a job for ninjas!"
"How would I know? You can go ask Itachi. He was the one who graduated early, not me. Or you can ask the Hokage why he issued these tasks." Nojiri Daiki looked indifferent. He looked at the landscape painting in front of him, and saw a peaceful and peaceful life.
This is different from Uchiha Izumi who clamors to do high-level missions and become a great ninja.
Having seen the chaos of the outside world, he has no interest in fighting and killing.
I entered the ninja school just to gain some power and spend time with Suzumiya Musashi.
Doing some simple tasks in Konoha Village every day and discussing art with Suzumiya Musashi in private, this is the life he wants.
Go out and work for the Hokage, taking risks, and then earn a few dollars?
Only a fool would want to go.
His attitude made Uchiha Izumi even angrier.
"Hey! You guy, we're farming and you're here painting and being lazy!? Are you looking for a fight?"
Nojiri Oki was still nonchalant: "What do you mean I'm lazy? Musashi has already done my share." He said with a pout.
Uchiha Izumi looked into the distance.
"Youth is a practice of sweating profusely!!"
"Boom boom boom~"
In the field, a green figure was shouting and dragging two wooden plows, moving back and forth quickly.
The wooden plow penetrates deep into the soil, and with its powerful force, it renovates the soil layer for better sowing.
Suzumiya Musashi's face was covered in sweat, but he looked happy. He held two plows in his hands and continued to run fast.
Two streams of dust billowed behind him.
One person is worth four cows!
"This guy!" Uchiha Izumi gritted his teeth: "Is his brain all muscle?"
Nojiri Oki: "There are other things, but you are not interested."
"Damn it, no, we need to talk to Ebisu-sensei. We need to take on more advanced missions!"
