Chapter 25: Chapter 25: The Little Group Hasn't Yet Sensed Danger
It is obvious.
Although the current ninja academy education is not suitable for geniuses, even for Sasuke before he met the system, it was a bit of a waste of time.
But for ordinary students, the basics taught in the ninja academy have already affected their leisure time significantly.
Not to mention spending time honing more advanced ninjutsu.
Unable to grasp the corresponding courses at a glance, they live in a peaceful environment and are very slow to perceive the crisis on the Uchiha side.
They never thought that their family might encounter the same experience.
Just like when someone dies in a general village, many people talk about it, but few really care.
What's more, Konoha Village is very big.
The ninja academy is not small either.
The world outside the lives of a few-year-old children seems to be just strange tales about rules that only circulate between parents and elders, without much sense of reality.
Naruto lowered his head, thinking about Sasuke's situation, and was now being scolded.
"I'm sorry, sensei, but I really don't know how to learn these things!"
"Well, although your grades are a bit bad, at least you have a good attitude to admit your mistakes," Iruka rarely praised Naruto. "But try not to be absent-minded in class in the future.
"In short, all of you, concentrate your minds, so that you can become excellent ninjas in the future, understand?"
"Oh!"
Choji nodded a little blankly.
Kiba said disapprovingly, "But who can sit there honestly! Right, Akamaru?"
"Woof!"
Akamaru barked politely.
Shikamaru beside him yawned, thinking about what to do after returning home.
He was wondering whether to eat his mother's food first or play a game of shogi with his father first. He was quite conflicted inside.
Looking at this group of unfocused students, Iruka was quite annoyed: "From now on, you guys stay here and practice concentration alone!"
"What?"
Several ninja students were confused immediately.
They thought about being scolded.
But they didn't expect to have to do extra practice, which was like doing homework. For normal students, it was painful.
Not long after, Iruka regained his composure, holding a leaf, and explained: "What I am going to teach you now is the mental concentration method that the Konoha predecessors do every day..."
"Listen to me, focus all your energy on the leaf above your head, and then continue to practice releasing chakra, and by focusing all your energy on the leaf, don't let yourself be distracted... This is ancient wisdom."
"It feels like I can understand every word..."
Naruto was thoughtful.
Whether it is professional courses or other courses, he is now very eager to pass the test, and his expression is far more professional than the children next to him.
"Only those who concentrate can become excellent ninjas. This is the Konoha symbol on the forehead protector."
Iruka glanced at Naruto approvingly, "As long as you have this heart, over the years and months..."
"I believe..."
"You can all become my proudest students!"
"Concentrate on one point..."
Naruto thought seriously and recalled Sasuke's behavior.
He found that no matter which subject Sasuke completed, he could basically concentrate enough to do it well.
Yes!
Isn't Sasuke the best ninja?
He did much better than him!
Even his own challenge, no matter how hard it seemed, seemed to be just a harassment!
When he was feeling down, Choji smacked his lips and said, "An excellent ninja is someone who is extraordinary, right?"
Kiba laughed, "Hahaha, does this have anything to do with us?"
"Yeah!"
Shikamaru yawned, still looking very sleepy.
Hearing the voices of these children, Iruka couldn't help but lower his head, doubting whether his efforts were really useful.
But when he was doubting himself, Naruto continued, "Iruka-sensei, what if I feel bored staring at this point? Is there no more accurate way?"
Iruka's face lit up, looked in Naruto's direction, and smiled, "It's okay to be not focused at the beginning, but the power of repetition is the most important method."
"This is also the most precious wisdom passed down to us by our ancestors, repeat! Just check again and again."
"Oh!"
Naruto nodded, feeling that these contents were still a bit complicated. He thought for a while and asked again, "Well, Iruka-sensei, if I practice this and make some progress."
"Then can you, individuals, groups, and cultural courses..."
"Be a little more tolerant of me."
"Absolutely not!"
Iruka shook his head, "Taking shortcuts is not advisable. Every subject taught by the school has its own use. The only way is to study hard.
"And..."
"No matter what your grades are now, as long as you are willing to learn, you will definitely be able to make up those credits, because..."
"You are my proudest students!"
Naruto was stunned for a while, then nodded, and followed Iruka's plan again, and began to try to refine chakra while focusing on one point.
Of course, he would fail constantly in the short term.
The narrator was confused: "Has Naruto changed his personality? This is the first time I see him trying so hard."
"Woof—"
"I remember Naruto failed in his challenge to Sasuke last time! Then he didn't challenge again. Was he rejected?" Shikamaru recalled and said slowly, "This idiot really likes to set some very strange goals."
"Uchiha's genius, that is the first in the grade, I doubt Sasuke is qualified to graduate now, challenging him is like an egg hitting a stone, isn't it?"
"No, Sasuke is not a fool!"
Choji was unhappy at that time and wanted to speak to Naruto.
Kiba looked at Naruto nervously, and then found that Naruto failed again after concentrating for a while, and couldn't find the trick at all, so he relaxed again: "We are not excellent ninjas, failure is natural!"
"It's so difficult—"
Naruto was a little discouraged.
He had never tried to concentrate before, but he just saw Sasuke doing it easily. Now he really tried it and found that this thing is really difficult.
"I am really stupid! How many times do I have to repeat it before I can challenge Sasuke again?"
...
A somewhat dilapidated training ground.
The setting sun gradually sank into the mountains, and the warm afterglow passed through the boy, casting a long shadow on the ground.
"What a hearty duel!"
Sasuke packed up his ninja tool bag with a smile, "System, you are right, it is indeed important to relax occasionally, and I feel much better now."
"Happiness does not need to be concentrated on one person."
The white kitten landed on his shoulder, laid the groundwork, and then accused, "So how could you aim at my weaknesses when playing rock-paper-scissors?"
"It's time to change the game."
"Oh! I promise you, I will do it next time!"
Sasuke nodded, and after packing up the ninja tools, he looked at the familiar training ground and whispered, "I think I have to spend some money to repair this place when I have time these days."
"Also, while completing the ninja tools, you can also prepare some chess games."
The system made its own voice very actively, "Although the projection cannot be applied to this world, you can help me move the chess pieces!"
"Okay."
Sasuke nodded, feeling the recharged [physical strength]. When the sunset finally set, he also jumped and quickly disappeared from the spot.
In his own feeling, the surrounding scenery was rapidly retreating, and the air seemed to be flowing rapidly, as if the wind was washing his body, and his hair was messy in the wind.
The combination of physical skills and [Chakra] allowed Sasuke to move very quickly.
The proper allocation plan allowed him to return to the door of the new room just before he became tired.
This kind of rush was exactly what he liked most.
The high-speed movement allowed him to clearly feel every bit of his progress.
