Chapter 58 What is a Ninja?

Yesterday in the Hokage's office, when Hiruzen suggested that Luo Yi work part-time (as a teacher) and study part-time (as a student), Luo Yi refused at first.

"Because, if you can't make me a teacher, I will become one right away. First I want to try it out, because I don't want to be a teacher and then add some stunts to it, "Duang"..."

"I'll give you a salary."

"This is not a question of salary. I am not a money-grubbing person. This is related to my professional ethics..."

"You will be officially assigned as an assistant teacher, and your resume will be registered as a C-level mission per week."

"Teacher Hiruzen, you understand the ethics of a teacher."

then…

"Hey 'Wind-blowing Boy', you seem to have some complaints about me, your teacher. The first lesson I have to teach you is what it means to respect teachers." Luo Yi spoke in a very reasonable manner, but his eyes and smile were full of provocation.

"What's wrong with teacher? Status is determined by strength, not identity!" The leaky boy took the bait without a doubt.

"You're right, so let's have a competition? Three rounds. If you can stand in front of me for five seconds, you'll be considered successful." Luo Yi raised three fingers.

The naughty kid couldn't stand such ridicule, he took two steps forward and punched.

"Snapped--"

"oops!"

Luo Yi caught the fist with one hand, stretched out his leg and swept it forward, easily tripping the boy to the ground, "One second, don't let me down. And remember, partners must practice the "Seal of Opposition" before sparring."

"Hmph!" The unconvinced boy stood up and punched again, faster and with greater force.

Luo Yi didn't let him get away. He dodged and then kicked the boy again where he was about to land.

"Whoa!"

This time the boy fell headfirst and landed hard.

"Uh... Luo Yi?"

"Don't worry, Iruka-sensei, I know my limits."

Luo Yi gave a look that showed he had everything under control to his "new colleague" who had a worried look on his face. He not only had to teach students how to be good students, but also teach teachers how to be good teachers.

"Teacher Luo..., aren't you going a bit too far?" Seeing that the boy's arms and knees were all scraped and bleeding, a girl in the preparatory students couldn't bear it anymore.

"Well said." Luo Yi did not refute, but affirmed loudly, "We are teacher and student, and even more so classmates, so duel training should conform to the "etiquette" between partners.

"It is not the behavior of a partner to launch an attack before forming the "Seal of Opposition". So, kid, do you want to be my enemy?"

As he finished speaking, vast chakra surged around Luo Yi, and not to mention the students, even Iruka had difficulty breathing.

The leaky boy then realized what kind of monster he was provoking.

“No, I, I’m not…” Not only was he a coward, he almost peed his pants in public.

"If not, get up, form a seal, and then start the third round." Luo Yi's tone became majestic, and he made the "Seal of Opposition" with one hand.

“Woo… Woo… Woo…” How dare I “oppose”? Compared with this Shura, even my father who is a butcher of pigs seems gentle and elegant.

But Mr. Luo has spoken...

The leaky boy stood up tremblingly and gestured.

"Okay, let me see if you have made any progress. Come on." Luo Yi hooked his finger.

The boy was almost in tears as he found it difficult to disobey the order, but he dared not not act. The worst that could happen was that he would fall again.

Dash! Punch!

"Snapped--"

"Hey! Hey?"

Not surprisingly, the punch he threw with all his strength was easily blocked and he was tripped once again; but surprisingly, when the boy thought he was going to fall even harder than before, the back of his clothes was grabbed and his face stopped ten centimeters above the ground.

The person who tripped him was Luo Yi, and the person who caught him was also Luo Yi.

"Stand firm," Luo Yi held up the little boy and extended two fingers, "The duel is over, make the Seal of Reconciliation."

The young man with a leaky face had snot and tears on his face and looked very sad, but he was forced by the "tyrannical power" to stretch out his hand to "reconcile".

"Since we have reconciled, we are still partners in the same village, so..."

"Water Style: Water Thought Wave"

A ball of water emitting a faint fluorescent light appeared in Luo Yi's right hand. With a slight flick, it turned into two streams of water, rushing towards the boy's injured arm and knee, completing the debridement and treatment in one breath.

Not many of the candidates have seen medical ninjutsu, let alone this new version of water-based ninjutsu combined with healing.

"Wow, that's amazing..."

"Teacher Luo... is really super strong!"

It took no more than five minutes to win over the kids, and there was endless praise from them, including from the little leaky boy.

Luo Yi glanced at Iruka with a smile and said, "Watch carefully and learn well, that's what a teacher does."

Iruka's mind was stuck as he watched this, and it was not until Luo Yi signaled to him and returned to the students that he came to his senses.

The students were very tactful and made way for a two-meter-wide aisle, and at the end of the aisle was a little girl with sparkling eyes.

It's a little embarrassing, but...it feels good.

"I'm back. How's it going, Fireworks? Is your brother Yi very powerful?" Luo Yi pretended to hide his embarrassment.

"Great, great," Hanabi clapped her hands, then glanced at the other girls in the crowd with rosy faces and pursed her lips, "Well... but could you not... stand out in front of everyone?"

Looking at the little girl's watery eyes and rosy face, it was Luo Yi's turn to be controlled.

...

"Luo Yi, you are..."

"No, I'm not a lolita!"

Luo Yi suddenly jumped up from his seat and stood at attention, only to find that he was in the tiered classroom of the Ninja School, and the clock hanging above the blackboard had reached nearly ten o'clock.

"Ah? Loli...what? Never mind. What I want to ask is whether you can understand the writing on the blackboard." Iruka just felt strange.

This traveler from another world might not understand the words here, and he seemed to be just staring at the blackboard in a daze.

"I understand, 'What is a ninja?'" Luo Yi read out the four words on the blackboard.

"Okay, sit down and listen." Iruka knocked on the blackboard.

After "Teacher Luo" finished his show of authority, the new students of the Ninja School started their earliest theoretical class in a tiered classroom that could seat at least fifty people.

Luo Yi and Hua Huo sat alone in the middle back. Several girls and some boys wanted to sit closer together, but they failed due to the malicious looks and polite refusal of the girls.

Japan's concerns are still conservative.

"Luo Yi, what does 'Lolita control' mean?" Hua Huo Qiaoqiao poked the boy's arm. She was close, so she could hear it clearly.

"Listen to the class first, and we'll talk when we're free. You're really promising to talk to me, your teacher, in private during class." Luo Yi quickly put on the airs of "Teacher Luo" and suppressed the little girl's unnecessary curiosity.

"Oh..." Hanabi knew she was wrong.

Since this was the first theoretical class for new students, Professor Iruka's starting point naturally revolved around the definition of "ninja".

Just as Luo Yi said at the beginning, the "ninja" in the Naruto world is a completely different concept from the ninja in the original world. The "ninja" here is more like a warrior, wizard... or battle wizard with superhuman abilities.

"For a country, ninjas and ninja villages are the most important fighting force and an important manifestation of a country's national strength. You who are enrolled in the ninja school will have the opportunity to become ninjas in the near future and make your own contributions to the peace and prosperity of the village."

No wonder Naruto either skipped classes or fell asleep in class. This kind of talk, which sounded like a shady company recruiting new soldiers, made Luo Yi feel uncomfortable halfway through listening to it.

Iruka then tells the history of the ninja school.

Unexpectedly, the school was founded by the Second Hokage, Tobirama, with the aim of ensuring the stability of education and the efficiency of talent training, and to guarantee the inheritance of the Will of Fire.

The school has a short history, and the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen can be said to be one of the earliest students.

What can we say about Tobirama? His strategic vision is better than that of his elder brother Hashirama. His strategic plans are based on his answers. He is the most controversial Hokage.

"Teacher, this class is so boring. Are there no interesting classes?" The students sitting in the front row have already started complaining.

"This is very important content," Iruka tapped the blackboard, "Before you learn to become a ninja, you must understand what a ninja is and why you want to become a ninja."

"Hey... Ninjas are powerful people. I want to be a powerful person. My parents also want me to be a ninja."

After all, they are just children, and if you keep talking about reason, it will always cause disgust soon.

"What about you, Luo Yi," Hanabi poked his arm again, "Why do you want to be a ninja?"
