Konoha’s New Third Hokage

On the second day when they came to Yuyin Ninja Village, Asuna and others met the young ninjas from the Ninja School under the leadership of Yuyin Ninja. With the scale of Yuyin Ninja Village, it is natural that a perfect education system cannot be established. Compared with Konoha Ninja Village, there is only one teaching building. In terms of size, it is not as good as the smallest one in Konoha Ninja Village.

During the Warring States Period, most of the ninja families flowed to the five major countries, and a small number of them came to these small countries. However, the environment in the Land of Rain is harsh, and there are very few ninja families who come here. Most of the students they recruit are Students who are lonely and have good physique.

Even so, the quality of these students is not good, and their strength is limited. Asuna and others quickly realized this in the process of practicing with these young ninjas.

As mentioned above, Yuyin Ninja retains the traditional combat style, and does not pursue ninjutsu with strong destructive power. It is often involved in ninjutsu that confuses and restrains such as Sanshenjutsu and illusion, such as the Five Elements Escape technique only requires enough strength, if it is too powerful, even their chakra is not enough to use it.

For a child of Asuna's age, Chakra is not enough to use much ninjutsu, unless there is a special inheritance of blood inheritance. For example, Asuna has the blood of the Senju family. If she only has the blood of the Fumori family, It is already very powerful to perform five C-level ninjutsu.

So, why do ninjas pay attention to the basic skills of taijutsu? While exercising their physical ability and reaction ability, they also consider that when they were young, Chakra was not enough to use too much ninjutsu, so taijutsu accounted for the majority during the battle.

Although in an environment like the Land of Rain where it rains all the year round, there are fewer Chakras who use water escape ninjutsu than in an environment without water, these young ninjas still don't use much water escape ninjutsu. Therefore, the ones that are used more in practice are the three body skills and illusion skills that consume less chakra, and the others are dealt with by physical skills.

However, because of the traditions in the past, Yuyin Ninja focused on one-hit assassination. There was not much research on long-term martial arts duels. At the beginning, Konoha Ninja suffered a bit by relying on illusion, but was quickly rejected. Identify weaknesses and counter them.

Holding the ninja sword for practice, Asuna easily dodged the sneak attack from behind. With the movement of her steps, she hit the leg of the ninja Ukakure, causing his body to kneel down on the ground. The tip was already on his neck.

"...I lost." The Yuyin ninja froze slightly, then sat down slumped, and said.

"Thank you." Asuna replied politely, and took the ninja knife back.

The exchange students of Konoha Ninja come here to study in name, but in fact, everyone knows that Hanzo means to let Konoha Ninja guide Ukakure Ninja, so Konoha Ninja is training with Ukakure Ninja, It is to guide the Yuyin ninjas, find out their weaknesses, target them, and make them understand how to improve.

"Your movements are still not fast enough. There are some redundant movements in the middle. You should change them." When Asuna said this, she saw the ninja Ugakure sitting motionless on the ground, frowned slightly, and asked, "What are you doing?" What's wrong?"

"Forget it, don't waste your energy." The Yuyin ninja looked slumped, as if giving up on himself, relaxed his body, and said, "I can't beat you, no matter how many times I practice, it's the same, let's forget it."

"Why do you think so?" Asuna didn't expect the other party to be like this. After pondering for a moment, she sat down next to this ninja.

The name of this Yuyin ninja is Maruta, a very common name, just like his origin, he is an orphan adopted by Yuyin Ninja Village, because his physique is not bad, even in the harsh environment of the orphanage Li, also survived, was considered to have the qualifications of a ninja, and was sent to study in the school of Yuyin Ninja Village.

Maruta once thought that after becoming a ninja, he could change his destiny, and he didn't have to follow the trend like in the past.

But he later found out that he was still the same in Yuyin Ninja Village, and nothing could affect him. The dispute between the former leader Bessa and the current leader Hanzo, he could only watch from the sidelines.

Maruta comforted himself by saying that he was too young, so his strength was naturally not as good as these older ninjas, but he would definitely be able to make a difference in the future. Later, he heard that Konoha Ninja would have exchange students here, and he felt that this was his chance to perform well .

Seeing that the Konoha ninja he was practicing with was a girl, and her body looked quite thin, Maruta felt that the other party was not a very powerful person. Living in a closed place like the Land of Rain, he naturally couldn't understand how a female ninja could be. No matter how powerful they are, according to his experience, female ninjas can only do some auxiliary work, and cannot be the real main force.

However, Maruta did not expect that this female ninja was very fast, not only that, but her seemingly thin body also possessed powerful explosive power, just the collision between the ninja tools made his hands numb, and he almost clenched Can't help but hold back.

And the Rain Secret Technique learned also failed to confuse the opponent. The opponent easily saw through his deception, and with a simple blow, he lost the ability to fight.

This situation seriously hit Maruta's enthusiasm. After many failures, he felt very disappointed in himself. He couldn't even win against a weak woman. , Maru too turned a deaf ear, immersed in the frustration of failure.

"Why? The previous battles can't explain anything. You should be a genius in Konoha Ninja Village. It is impossible for ordinary people like me to win, so you don't need to explain them one by one." Maruta sighed for a long time Take a breath.

Asuna frowned slightly. She also saw situations like Maruta when she was in the ninja school. Among the ninjas who were born as civilians, although there were outstanding aptitudes, most of them were ordinary people with limited strength improvement and could not compete with family ninjas. Contrast, therefore, tend to appear some self-defeating people.

The Ninja School's measures are to provide psychological guidance to these students, and make up for it with the sub-subject system, and tap the abilities of those civilians on the other hand. These people may not be so talented in combat, but they are more or less talented in other places. Some will give them hope, and the assistance of psychotherapy also plays a big role.

Tsunade told Asuna many examples, and the good results, she is happy for those people, but also for the medical department, the data of these people, to some extent, also assist the medical department to improve Methods of psychotherapy.

Asuna knew what problem Maruta had encountered, but she was not a ninja in the medical department, nor had she ever studied psychotherapy. There are very few people who are good at this in the medical department. It can be done, but requires other talents.

"Talent does exist, and I admit it. In the village, there are many people who are more talented than me." Asuna thought for a while and said.

"There are a lot?" Maruta raised his head and looked at Asuna in surprise.

"Well, for example, our captain Sakumo Hatake is a genius. When I was my age, he had already won the Chunin Exam jointly held by the five major countries. At the same age, he and I There is also a huge gap." Asuna said.

"Sure enough, a genius is a genius, and we mortals can't catch up." Maruta's mood became more depressed, and he lowered his head slightly, "You will also feel unwilling to be suppressed by such a genius."

"Aren't you reconciled? There are some." Asuna said, "But my father said that in today's world, it is too easy to judge the value of ninjas. It is worthless to deny them based on pure strength."

"Isn't it?" Maruta was a little confused.

"At least my father doesn't think so. He said that this kind of talent judged is only the talent of a fighter. However, society is not formed only by fighters. In our village, there are many people who are not powerful. Ninjas with fighting abilities, such as the medical ninjas who came here to help, and the scientific research ninjas who studied secret arts in the village, these people have no strength. As long as a professionally trained ninja can defeat them easily. However, they are really A weak person with no strength, what do you think?" Asuna said.

"This..." Maruta didn't know how to answer for a while. According to his concept, the medical ninja and the so-called scientific research ninja are so weak, of course they are weak, but when he thinks of the people saved by the medical ninja, he feels There seems to be something wrong.

"Medical ninjas are not weak, even if ninjas like us can easily kill them, but when facing the wounded and sick, medical ninjas are the ones who can really save them. Ninja-like can't do it." Asuna said.

"What exactly do you want to say?" Maruta became more and more confused, he seemed to understand something, but he didn't seem to understand anything.

"I mean that the value of a person is not determined by strength alone. Even if you don't have the talent in this area, you may be able to realize your own value in other areas." Asuna has never said such a long word. With her character, She is not a person who is good at words, therefore, she cannot accurately describe what she wants to convey.

"Just like those farmers who plow the land, even if they have no strength, they can produce food for human consumption, and those craftsmen who can only forge iron can make ninja tools for ninjas." Asuna pointed to her body Side ninja sword.

Maruta's expression was a little surprised, and Asuna's description was a little vague, but the reason behind it seemed to make him understand what he was struggling with, so he quickly adjusted his posture, as if asking for advice.

"Father said that people should learn how to discover their own talents and then realize their own value in this area. That's enough. There is no need to pursue some self-respecting power, or anything else." Asuna thought hard for a moment, Say.

Maruta showed a thoughtful expression, looking at him like this, Asuna felt that he should say something else, and when he was thinking hard, Uchiha Mizuki's voice sounded from the side: "I thought I was talking about something, but in the end You are telling people the truth."

"Ruixi." Asuna frowned and looked at her, a little dissatisfied, "He is very distressed, I have to find a way to let him come out."

"That being said, it's not that simple. Even those mental medical ninjas don't dare to say that everyone can understand." Uchiha Mizuki shook his head, and said to Maruta: "Listen to what Asuna just said. Say, do you understand?"

"I seem to understand." Maruta woke up startled, looked at Uchiha Mizuki, and answered vaguely.

Uchiha Mizuki curled his lips and said, "Do you really understand?"

"It means that even the weak without power can realize their own value, is that what you mean?" Maruta said.

"Well, almost." Uchiha Mizuki thought about it, and said with some uncertainty.

"Of course not like this." At this time, another voice intervened, "As a ninja, if you don't have power, you can't do anything, just like you."

The three of them looked up and saw a young man walking over. His expression was cold and his eyes were like a deep pool. Both Asuna and Uchiha Mizuki knew him. He was the Uchiha who lost his father. He did not apply to enter the security guard. team, but a regular active ninja named Uchiha Ken.

"That's not the case." Asuna said with a slight frown.

"No, that's how it is. For the ninja world, power is everything. If there is no power, how can the Fire Country be so peaceful?" Uchiha Ken snorted softly.

Asuna and Uchiha Mizuki didn’t know how to answer for a while. The peace and strong economic strength of the Land of Fire are naturally supported by the powerful force of Konoha Ninja Village. Uchiha Ken’s words are naturally correct. But it seems impossible to generalize.

"The most important thing for a ninja is strength, and ninjas like you, born as ordinary people, are inherently different from us, so you are right, there is really no need to practice, because you can't win." Uchiha Ken said that it seemed that he heard what Maruta said before.

"What you said is a bit too much, Ken." Uchiha Mizuki frowned tightly, and said to Uchiha Ken, she felt that she shouldn't hit people like this.

"Yes, you should apologize to Maruta." Asuna nodded and said.

"Am I wrong? There is nothing to apologize for." Uchiha Ken shrugged and said, "You should let him realize this, otherwise he will be hurt in vain, just like that person."

Following Uchiha Ken's gaze, you can see a Uchiha ninja covered in bruises, lying on the ground panting, he seems to be the ninja who practiced with Uchiha Ken, Uchiha Ken said: "I have been persuading him not to Come again, but he just doesn't know him, so I have no choice but to beat him like this."

"Hajime." Of course Maruta knew that Amane ninja. The name of that Amane ninja was Hajime. He was a ninja who was so persistent that he was almost dull. He climbed up step by step, and now, even though his body was covered with bruises, he was still trying to get up, as if he planned to fight again.
