Those Who are Beaten in Training aren't Beaten

"Nonetheless, thank you. You've helped me a lot." Nono thanked her again.

Regardless of how Nagasawa did it, the result was good. From now on, she no longer had to worry about what Danzo would do.

"You can repay me by teaching Kabuto to be a good Shinobi. Moreover, I like the children in the orphanage very much. I did this because I want to." Nagasawa said with a smile.

Nono nodded. She had already taught basic Shinobi knowledge to Kabuto.

In the past, she had only casually taught Kabuto Kabuto a bit of ordinary medical Ninjutsu. Now, she was training Kabuto to prepare him as a Shinobi.

After all, it was Kabuto himself who said that he wanted to go to Academy and then become Shinobi. Naturally, Nono would do her best to help Kabuto build his strength so that he would not die in the mission.

Nagasawa waved his hand and called out to Kabuto, who was eating Dango.

At first, Kabuto did not want to approach Nagasawa as he would definitely mess up his well-groomed hair.

But after looking at the Dango in his hand, he could only obediently walk over, and as soon as he walked over, he was attacked by Nagasawa's hand.

No matter how flexible Kabuto was, he was unable to escape Nagasawa's grasp. In fact, it seemed as if Kabuto had just put his little head into Nagasawa's palm.

Seeing Kabuto try his best to break free from his grip, Nagasawa chuckled and used Color of Observation Haki. How could a mere five-year-old brat escape from him?

Seeing Kabuto pouted, Nagasawa then stopped in satisfaction. "Kabuto, have you been studying hard recently?"

After putting away the rest of the stick from the Dango he had eaten, Kabuto thought for a moment and said, "If you mean I'm serious, then yes."

"Kabuto is very serious. Be it Shuriken, Kunai, or the Three Basic Jutsus, he is studying hard. Sometimes I think that he pushes himself too far." Nono added.

She felt that she was a little overprotective when it came to while he was working so hard.

'This child is too naive. I hope that he won't be bullied in the future.' Nono thought.

However, she probably wouldn't have thought that Kabuto would actually become one of the biggest villains that almost led the world to destruction.

"Very good. Kabuto, you have to continue to study hard. Only when you study well can you graduate early from the Academy and do missions to make money." Nagasawa kept tempting Kabuto.

"Is it possible to graduate early?" Kabuto tidied his hair that had been ravaged by Nagasawa and asked doubtfully.

After he mentioned that he wanted to go to Academy, Nono also told her various information about Academy. For example, it took six years to graduate from the Academy.

Nagasawa nodded and said, "I know a Jonin who graduated early from the Academy at the age of five and became Jonin at the age of twelve."

"He became Shinobi at the age of five? That's amazing!" Kabuto was in awe because he was also five years old this year, but he hadn't even joined the Academy.

"You are talking about Hatake Kakashi, right? How can you set such a prodigy as an example?" Nono could not help but complain.

Even if she was a former Root Shinobi, she had heard of Kakashi's name.

He had already made contributed so much when he was ten and was then promoted to Jonin at the age of twelve.

Ordinary people would graduate from the Academy at that age, while Kakashi had become a Jonin. That just went to show how talented he was.

Although Nono felt that Kabuto was also talented, she did not think that he could measure up to Kakashi.

Nagasawa smiled and said, "Nono, don't underestimate Kabuto. In terms of potential, he will not lose to Kakashi."

He did not expect Nono to make such a big deal out of this.

After all, Kakashi had always seemed like a little brother when he was with him, which made him forget that Kakashi was a famous prodigy in Konoha.

"If you place too much expectation on Kabuto, it will put a lot of pressure on him," Nono said.

Nagasawa's expression became serious. He said, "Nono, believe me. Kabuto has more potential than you think!"

Nono: ....

Looking at Nagasawa's expression, she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Kabuto silently kept Kakashi's name in his heart. He had found a new goal to work hard for.

Entering Academy to become Shinobi was too small of a goal. He wanted to break Kakashi's record and proved himself so that when Nono could brag about him to everyone.

After personally testing Kabuto's skill, Nagasawa explained a few techniques of chakra usage to Kabuto before leaving the orphanage.

Konoha Training Ground No. 3.

Minato's Anbu Squad 7 assembled again.

Kakashi and the other two looked at Nagasawa excitedly, because Nagasawa was about to train them to learn the secret technique called Haki.

"Haki is the power that lies dormant in all the world's creatures, 'presence, fighting spirit, and intimidation... When you can manipulate these vague feelings, your willpower can be turned into a weapon. This power is called Haki. Nagasawa explained the source of Haki to the three of them.

At this time, more than two weeks had passed since he showcased the power of Haki in front of the three of them. Nagasawa had received another 20,000 points and used 9,000 points to unlock the three's potential to use Haki.

At this moment, if the three of them were nurtured properly, they should be able to awaken their Haki like the characters in One Piece world.

"However, Midori, Kakashi, and Ensui, your physical strength is not up to par just yet, so you need to train, the first will be Color of Observation Haki."

After saying that, Nagasawa smiled and took out three black strips of cloth and distributed them to the three of them.

Midori Inuzuka felt that something was off and asked, "Do I tie my hair with this?"

Nagasawa smiled brightly and took out a wooden stick from his back. He smiled and said, "Of course not. It's used to cover your eyes."

Looking at the wooden stick in Nagasawa's hand and then looking at the black cloth in his hand, Midori Inuzuka felt that he could vaguely guess what Nagasawa was going to do.

"No way, you're really going to beat me up?" Midori Inuzuka refused to just accept her fate.

Nagasawa said leisurely, "You're allowed to dodge. This is the training."

"How can I dodge if my eyes are covered? This cloth doesn't seem to be an ordinary cloth." Midori Inuzuka tried to cover his eyes and realized that she really couldn't see anything.

"I custom-made it. Remember to bring me money tomorrow to make up for the cost. Ten thousand Ryo each." After hearing what Midori Inuzuka said, Nagasawa remembered that this cloth was not cheap.

Midori Inuzuka: ...

If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have said it!
