71 Chapter 70 Is This Reasonable?

The next day, early in the morning.

In an empty classroom, Sōseki's group of three have arrived early.

"Aahh, our new sensei is so slow!" After waiting for a while, Asuma yawned impatiently, looked aside and asked, "Sōseki, I heard that Tsunade-sama and the others have left Konoha, is it true?"

Sōseki, who is reading Dan's experience of training Spirit Transformation Technique, replied without looking up, "They already left last night."

Asuma sighed melancholy, "Growing up is indeed accompanied by troubles. In a blink of an eye, so many familiar faces are gone!"

Hearing this, Kurenai squinted at him, "Don't say it as if we can't see each other anymore, bastard!"

Asuma shrugged indifferently, and asked again, "Have you heard? Our Jōnin Instructor seems to be someone from the Yamanaka Clan."

Kurenai nodded, "I heard that, so what?"

Asuma smiled and said, "The frontal combat ability of Yamanaka Clan's Shinobi doesn't seem to be very strong. Could it be that the village thinks that the three of us are too powerful, so they deliberately arranged a weak Jōnin Instructor to balance our team...mfft!"

"What are you..." Hong turned her head away, and she laughed very unladylike, "Haha, what are you doing?"

She saw Asuma had two pens stuck in his nostrils, and he gestured for victory with a festive look on his face.

"Kai!" With a soft shout, the classroom door was pushed open, and a young Shinobi who appeared to be in his twenties walked in.

"Never underestimate any Shinobi, this is the first lesson I teach you. By the way, Asuma, it is very rude to speak ill of people behind their backs!"

Sōseki and Kurenai hurriedly greeted him, "Yamanaka-sensei!"

The released Asuma rubbed his nose and said angrily, "I understand."

The young Shinobi smiled helplessly and stepped onto the podium, "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Yamanaka Inoichi. My hobby is planting flowers and grass. As for my dream, I wanted to have a child in the future, so I can train him to be an excellent Shinobi."

Asuma then whispered, "Why do I feel that old fogey is more energetic than him!"

'Hokage-sama was originally young at heart even though he's advanced in age, otherwise, how could you be born when he's already 42 years old?' Inoichi gave him a sideways glance. Of course, he only dared to think about it in his heart.

"As for ability, my technique is Mind Body Switch Technique, which is used to manipulate the enemy's body." Inoichi said with a smile, "Speaking from a certain perspective, Asuma is not wrong, my existence is to make up for your shortcomings in intelligence gathering and sensor."

Asuma glared, "Then, why do you still play with my body!"

The corner of Inoichi's mouth twitched, and then said, "Asuma, has no one ever told you the truth that is too blunt is annoying?"

Although Inoichi said that he seemed useless, but Sōseki would not take it seriously. Every Jōnin is an elite who grew up on the edge of life and death, an existence at the peak of ordinary Shinobi.

Even if it's just intelligence gathering specialized Shinobi, his strength should never be underestimated.

Asuma murmured in a low voice, "That Ibiki seems to have said the same thing. Do all intelligence gathering specialized Shinobi like to play this game?"

"I have finished my introduction. As for the three of you..." Inoichi said with a smile, "I have heard about it, so you don't need to introduce yourselves."

"Why? I even lost my sleep last night to prepare a shocking speech." Asuma, who was eagerly preparing to introduce himself, collapsed, but quickly cheered up again, "What about strength? You have to understand our strength to cooperate better, right?"

"Indeed, hobbies can be learned from intelligence, but real strength can only be observed through actual combat." Inoichi did not refute this time, "So, three of you will have an actual combat drill for me to see later."

Asuma, who is eager for a fight, was taken aback, "Wait, aren't the three of us supposed to fight against you, sensei?"

Inoichi waved his hand calmly and said, "No matter how I say it, I am still a Jōnin. How can I bully you rookies?"

Asuma is still a little suspicious, "Really? But I heard that other Jōnin Instructor ended up fighting their own team!"

Hearing this, Inoichi's expression remained unchanged, "I am different from them. As an intelligence gathering specialized Shinōbi, I can analyze your general strength by just looking at it from the side. Apart from this, another reason for those Jōnin Instructors are doing that is to let the rookies see the strength gap. But you are all geniuses, so I don't think it is necessary to take this step."

Asuma nodded in approval, "That's true."

Kurenai couldn't help but give him a blank look, 'Where did you get this confidence from? Is it because you have lost too much and instead formed some kind of strange self-confidence?'

Seeing that Asuma finally didn't bother about this matter, Inoichi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If he hadn't learned about the strength of the three of them in advance, maybe he might have defeated today.

After all, what he is best at is his clan's signature technique, Mind Body Switch Technique, and there are two Genjutsu-user Shinobi with strong mental resistance on the opposite side.

Also, he really couldn't see through Sōseki's strength.

'However, that Hatake Kakashi became Chunin at the age of six, and now I heard that he has a strength close to Jōnin-level, and Sōseki's talent is stronger than Kakashi. Even without the pressure of doing mission and training, there's no way weaker his strength is weaker than Kakashi's.'

Thinking of this, his belief in not fighting them has become stronger.

If he is defeated by his own students on the first day, would he still have dignity as a teacher?

"Cough cough, let's test it now."

...

They then came to the small forest behind the Academy.

"Asuma and Kurenai are in a team, and Sōseki is a team, do you have no objections?" Inoichi grouped them according to what he had learned.

"I have an objection." Asuma raised his hand.

"Oh? You want to go one-on-one against Sōseki, Asuma?" Inoichi was nodded with satisfaction, "As expected of Hokage-sama's..."

Asuma interrupted with a calm expression, "I'm actually fine with this, but if you really want to know our true strength, Inoichi-sensei, this is definitely not acceptable."

This time, it's Inoichi's turn to be puzzled, "Why do you say that?"

Kurenai, who is next to him, said with a bitter expression, "Because, it will end too soon!"

"Huh?"

Asuma added, "It's the Flying Thunder God Technique! If Sōseki doesn't use the Flying Thunder God Technique, we can still fight normally, but once the Flying Thunder God Technique is used, the battle will soon be over!"

"Flying Thunder God Technique?" Inoichi's eyes widened upon hearing this. Although there is a record of Sōseki's experience in exchanging Flying Thunder God Technique in the document, he didn't think too much about it at all. After all, it is the extremely difficult Space-Time Ninjutsu among S-Rank Ninjutsu!

In his opinion, it is lucky enough to have Namikaze Minato's success in this era.

"Actually, I have only recently succeeded in training under Minato-senpai's guidance." Sōseki said humbly.

"But, aren't you a Medical-nin?" Inoichi is still unable to accept it.

Without waiting for Sōseki to speak, Asuma said calmly, "In order to be able to appear beside every injured person in time, it is reasonable for Sōseki who is a Medical-nin to know Space-Time Ninjutsu!"
