The Right Way to Die in the Ninja World

Chapter 66 I'm sorry!
The happy Konoha Festival passed quickly, the butterfly fluttered its little wings quietly, and slight changes had begun to appear.

However, what touched Hua Jianming the most was that the little rich woman Naoko canceled a series of subsequent tasks and directly gave a sum of "liquidated damages", which filled his empty wallet once again.

Moreover, he was relieved that he didn't have to do any embarrassing scripts himself.

Although I don't know how Naoko figured it out, it's a good thing not to be hanged by Sasuke, a tree with a crooked neck, so naturally I won't go into it.

As for Sasuke...

In the physical combat class, because of Sasuke's rare positive request, and Hanami Akira's indifference, Mr. Iruka put the two of them into a group.

In fact, Hua Jianming's physical skills are not as bad as they were at the beginning. After all, although his talent is not very high, he is not an idiot, and he is still decent.

Against some guys with family inheritance, even if they can't win, they can fight back and forth, but, to use Shikamaru's words, it is too troublesome.

Why bother?
Kai and Xiao Li can be said to be the guys who have reached the extreme in physical skills in this world, but they think they can't bear the bitterness, so it's better to hang up.

Therefore, for physical skills, Hua Jianming mostly practiced casually, as long as he can get by so as not to drag his feet.

When he heard that Sasuke wanted to "compete", Hanami Akira guessed what the other party was thinking, and he was probably still struggling with the previous "sixteen to zero".

Since the second young master cares so much about this, it's better to let the opponent win back early and stop bothering himself.

Of course, Hua Jianming can't do the kind of operation that directly admits defeat, but don't hold on when fighting, just deal with it twice at will and lose.

With this time, it is better to ponder over the reality of the new money-making novel.

Thus, a scene in gymnastics class appeared.

"I won this time."

After Sasuke defeated Hanami Akira handsomely with taijutsu, he coolly left such a sentence, and recited it silently in his heart.

"This is the No.17 time, the score is [-] to [-], and we have already won a victory, and there are [-] more times..."

"Yeah, as expected of Sasuke-kun, he's amazing!"

Hua Jianming nodded, perfunctory, but sincere on his face.

However, this smile made Sasuke, who had a lot of thoughtful thoughts, frowned—what's so weird about this guy?

However, just when Sasuke was about to ask questions, he saw Mr. Iruka walking over.

"Student Huajian, can you come over for a while? I have something to do."

"Okay, Iruka-sensei."

Hanami Akira didn't know what Mr. Iruka was up to, but in line with the rule that students should listen to what the teacher said, he nodded obediently and followed, making Mr. Iruka nod in relief.

Among other things, Hua Jianming's attitude towards the teacher is still very good, at least compared to other bear children, he has always been very respectful.

That's why Iruka felt that there were some things that he needed to enlighten.

Iruka took Hua Jianming to the corner of the open space not far away, and spoke earnestly.

"Student Huajian, the teacher knows that you have always been a good boy who studies hard and works hard..."

Iruka opened his mouth with such a compliment, which made Hua Jianming blink his eyes and continue to nod obediently, but he was waiting for the second half of the sentence "but" in his heart. He has seen this kind of method of first suppressing and then raising.

Sure enough, Iruka then started to talk about the main point.

"However, as a ninja, hard work is not enough, you also need the courage and perseverance to never give up, do you understand?"

"???"

Hua Jianming was stunned, he didn't understand why Iruka said these words to him at all.

When he was called over, he thought that the fact that he borrowed from Sakura and Shikamaru's homework had been exposed, or that the water in the composition he wrote had been discovered.

However, what the hell is this?

Seeing Hua Jianming's ignorant face, Iruka's expression of "I understand, I understand very much" made me feel emotional.

"I'm a commoner myself, so I know that it's very difficult for ninjas like us to defeat those who were born in a family and have a good education since childhood."

Iruka sighed, didn't he have a similar experience in the past?

His talent is not bad. When he was in ninja school, he was also good at theoretical knowledge, but fell behind in practical class, so he felt that he could understand Hanami's mood very well.

Both of them are orphans whose parents died young, so they have some empathy.

"But even so, as long as you try your best, there is still hope to catch up with them, but if you just give up, then there is really no hope at all."

When Iruka said this, his expression became serious.

"Your performance just now can't be said to be bad, but obviously you didn't try your best, right? I can see that it's more like giving up the winning attitude from the beginning."

"..."

Hua Jianming bowed his head and did not refute.

This is true, because he didn't plan to struggle to the death from the beginning, and he didn't plan to rely on hard work, so he just acted for a while. It's not surprising that he was seen by an experienced Chunnin like Iruka.

Hua Jianming's expression was a little subtle.

Mr. Iruka's conclusion is correct, but the reason is that his brain made a mistake!

It seems that Mr. Iruka thought that he was facing the famous Master Uchiha, so he didn't have the heart to fight so he gave up...

Eh?No, wait, it doesn't seem wrong to say that?
Hua Jianming was stunned for a moment, and began to think.

When Iluka just heard what he said was right, he still felt that what Mr. Iruka said was right. It is not good to not have the courage to fight hard. It was too cowardly. Then he refuted in his heart, thinking that he was actually another It pays off.

However, if you really want to say it, isn't he really giving up because he is too lazy and thinks that he can't beat Sasuke who has Uchiha Taijutsu?
This does not seem to be very good.

Seeing Akira Hanami's pensive expression, Iruka had a look of relief on his face.

He is very clear that compared to children born in other families with their own secret arts, it is difficult for a child like Hua Jianming who has no foundation to grow up, but he is still optimistic about him.

Now, it was obvious that Akira Hana had listened to his words, and Iruka was slightly relieved.

He is not a character who will push others too much, even if the person he is talking to is a student, he will not be aggressive, but decides to leave this mature kid time to think for himself.

Iruka slowed down his speech, but his tone was extremely firm.

"Xiao Ming, I remember you said at the beginning of school that your dream is to become a strong man and protect everyone. If this is the case, you must have a strong heart! If you are timid before fighting, you will lose at the beginning , even if you have mastered a powerful force, you still can't become a strong man!"

"...I understand, Iruka-sensei."

Hanami Akira was silent for a moment, then nodded and bowed to Iruka.

Compared with the previous one, it was more like a formulaic polite address, this time he called teacher with sincere respect.

He never expected that Mr. Iruka would always remember the dream he said casually at the beginning of school, even he himself forgot what he said.

Moreover, he suddenly discovered that there was indeed a problem with his mentality.

If he can't beat Sasuke in physical skills, it is indeed an objective strength gap. However, if he relies on the junior immortal body and his own advantages, it is not impossible to be invincible.

However, he just gave up.

Before, he thought it was a wise way to save energy, but when he thought about it carefully, was it really so?
After simply thinking about it just now, although Hua Jianming still feels that his talent is not very good, it can't be done by training, he still has to rely on cheating, but the strength obtained by cheating must be controlled by himself.

It was also at this time that Hua Jianming was frightened into a cold sweat.

He thought of that... Kaguya Hime, who is very strong in theory, but because of the pressure of operating the dishes, he was solved by the two of Zuo Ming.

If he gained a whole body of strength by opening it, but because he neglected to use it, his combat awareness could not keep up, or he could not control it independently because he relied too much on his body's instincts... maybe it might really turn the ship over.

Therefore, Hanami Akira, who realized this, sincerely thanked Mr. Iruka for his kind reminder.

In this regard, Iruka Laohuai left with relief, and when Iruka's figure disappeared, Sasuke walked over with a stinky face.

It's not intentional eavesdropping, it's just that Sasuke was a little concerned about Hanami's performance just now, and then happened to hear something.

"You didn't fight seriously just now?"

"what……"

"Are you looking down on me?!"

Sasuke's face darkened even more, and at this moment, he no longer had the joy of winning a round before.

"Seriously fight me again! The previous round doesn't count!"

Uchiha's pride made Sasuke disdain to defeat an opponent who didn't give his best. Subconsciously, he challenged again in anger, but saw Akira Hanami shook his head.

Suddenly, Sasuke was out of breath.

Suddenly, as if in a flash of inspiration, Sasuke thought of Hanami Akira's financial situation, squeezed the Konoha Festival fee in his pocket that he had promised to pay back to Hanami Akira, and spoke instead.

"You compete seriously with me, and every time you beat me, I will give you... 100 taels."

"...Then I won't be polite."

After a few seconds of silence, Hua Jianming nodded and smiled.

"But in fact, I just wanted to agree to your challenge. I shook my head just now to say that if you lose, you lose, no matter what the reason is—I did lose the previous round, that's all."

Sasuke: "..."

——It’s not a loss, I’m not a loss, this is to pay back his money, this wave is not a loss!
Sasuke hinted at himself psychologically, but in the end, somehow, he still felt that he was being tricked, and showed a ferocious smile.

"Hehe, I haven't finished talking just now! If you win, I will naturally give you 100 taels, and if you lose, you will naturally have to give me the same amount, right?"

This wave must make Hua Jianming feel heartbroken!
"Since you say that, then I'm even less polite."

Hua Jianming smiled, his eyes sparkled, and fighting spirit was burning in his eyes.

In the future, you must not lose!

However, before that...

"We have a total of 600 matches, the score is [-] to [-], and the reward is [-] taels, thank you!"

"..."
