Duanmu Baiyun of Konoha

Chapter 364 Apprenticeship and the Secret of Ninjutsu Teaching

When Duanmu attended the ninja school, he graduated from the ninja school at the age of 10.

At that time, due to the pressure of the war, I graduated very early.

Later, when the Third Ninja World War was at its most intense, some even graduated at the age of seven or eight.

There are still some idiots imitating Kakashi and applying for early graduation.

Kakashi is alive and well now, those admirable fools have given their lives for their dreams.

Now Konoha is out of war, so students don't graduate from ninja school until they are 12 years old.

The study time is much longer, and it is also much safer.

At the age of ten or so, the physical fitness will be much stronger when you are two years older, and you will be more likely to survive in danger.

Education has become the biggest thing in the village now.

In the office of the Hokage Building, all the senior executives of Konoha Village are sitting.

The third Hokage, three advisors, the new ninja squad leader Akimichi Choza, and several ninja patriarchs.

Uchiha Fugaku wanted to be the monitor of the ninja squad, but due to the tacit understanding between Duanmu and the third generation, he failed to run for the election.

Because of this incident, Uchiha Fugaku had a problem with Duanmu, but he couldn't see it on the surface.

In the end, Akimichi Dingza, nominated by the third generation, was successfully elected.

The manpower on Duanmu's side is a bit cramped. Even if he intends to win this position, most of his partners are not old enough and capable enough to be competent.

However, Duanmu couldn't let Uchiha get the position of the squad leader of the ninja class.

On this point, the third generation was not mistaken, for the sake of the village, Duanmu did not blindly stand on Uchiha's side.

The third generation of purpose is still very skilled in means, seize this opportunity and vigorously spread rumors.

Duanmu Baiyun, the intelligence adviser, wasted his time and killed the donkey. With the support of Uchiha, he became the top of the village. Now he turned around and threw Uchiha away as a stinky sock.

Duanmu didn't want to take the blame, so he went to the Uchiha tribe to explain it, but he didn't know the effect.

At this meeting, although Uchiha Fugaku still greeted Duanmu, both of them knew that there was a crack in their cooperation.

Also present at the meeting were one or two assistants, as well as Yamanaka Kaku, the principal of Konoha Ninja School.

Yamanaka felt that his head was very big, and calling him in this kind of meeting would definitely not be a good thing.

The meeting had only one topic, and that was proposed by Duanmu Baiyun, an intelligence consultant, to add basic C-level ninjutsu courses to the senior grades of the ninja school.

The patriarchs of the various ninja clans were not interested in this proposal. Anyway, the children of their clan would have a special person responsible for teaching ninjutsu, so they didn't care.

Duanmu never knew why no one in Muye Village raised this opinion before. He didn't think he was a genius.

Obviously, after mastering the appropriate ninja, the strength of the Konoha ninja will be greatly strengthened, but it is difficult for ordinary civilian ninjas to acquire ninjutsu.

It wasn't even until Chunin that he was taught the appropriate ninjutsu by the captain or master by chance.

Fortunately, during the war, the exchange of ninjutsu was more frequent.

In peacetime, ninjutsu is even more precious.

If you don't understand, just ask. At Duanmu's request, the senior management of Muye Village launched this debate.

Things like this related to the vast majority of ninjas must go through the ninja class meeting.

Their small meeting is here to decide whether to bring this issue to the Ninja Class meeting for discussion.

The attitude of everyone here also determines the number of votes in the ninja class meeting.

Duanmu spoke directly:
"My lords, I have requested this meeting from Lord III."

"The purpose of this meeting is to set up basic ninjutsu courses in the senior grades of the ninja school."

"This is a matter of great benefit and no harm. It can effectively increase the combat effectiveness of the middle ninja of our Konoha Village."

After Duanmu finished speaking, he sat down. He thought it was an easy thing to pass, so he didn't explain much.

But he also had a hunch that it would not go well, so he began to observe several high-level officials.

The people on the third generation's side didn't care very much, it seemed that so many people gathered here just to save face for Consultant Duanmu.

This is outrageous.

An obvious good thing, but now it is cold.

There must be something that Duanmu didn't understand, the hidden point that Duanmu didn't think of before, is the key to this matter.

The third generation did not speak, neither did the two advisors.

Qiu Dao Ding Zuo kept his eyes open and his heart in check. Although he is now the squad leader of the ninja class, based on his experience, if he goes against Advisor Duanmu, he will end badly.

No, some people obviously did not fight against Advisor Duanmu, and they ended up inexplicably miserable.

There is a rumor circulating among the Ninja that pushing Duanmu Baiyun to the top was the village's biggest mistake.

What happened to the Kage-level ninja, isn’t Konoha Hakuya Hatake Sakumo also a Kage-level ninja, and he also coerces the ninja world, so he can still die...

Look at what life is like now, how miserable the Nara clan and the Hyuga clan are, how much the ninja ninja hate Duanmu Baiyun.

However, the intelligence adviser holds the roots, and most of the civilian jounin are on the root side, and now the situation is too big to be messed with.

Coupled with the fighting power and uncompromising attitude shown by intelligence advisor Duanmu Baiyun, it would be unwise to confront him head-on.

This kind of temporarily powerful civilian ninja has been seen a lot in the long history of the ninja clan, and in the end, they all turned into unimportant historical fragments.

Only the Ninja Clan, which has lasted for hundreds of years, is the master of this world.

Qiudao Dingzuo couldn't help looking at Yamanakajue with sympathetic eyes.

Yamanaka felt that no one else expressed his opinion. As the principal of the ninja school, he had to bite the bullet and start talking:
"Advisor, there are many reasons for not offering ninjutsu courses in ninja schools."

"First, because there are very few ninja chakras. If you use ninjutsu indiscriminately, you will often show your flaws and be easily killed by your opponent."

"Second, it is to protect information. The most important thing in a ninja battle is information. You must try your best to prevent others from knowing the ninjutsu you have mastered..."

Yamanakajue couldn't continue, because Consultant Duanmu's face became more and more ugly.

Those are all flimsy excuses!

Duanmu took a breath, and said patiently:

"Indiscriminate use of ninjutsu is a matter of fighting rhythm. You can teach students the key points and let students judge the timing of ninjutsu release by themselves."

"Ninjutsu information is even more untenable. What information about C-level ninjutsu is worth divulging?"

"Then can't the information that we all have kunai be leaked, so we don't need kunai anymore?"

"Why, is the C-level ninjutsu also a top-secret information that the village needs?"

Yamanakakaku was speechless, and looked at the Third Hokage, who was smoking a cigarette and didn't say anything.

Akido Dingzuo and Yamanakakai, one or two patriarchs, neither looked at Yamanakajue nor spoke.

Yamanakajue didn't know who to ask for help.

For a while, the venue fell into silence.

It was Mitomen Yan who spoke to persuade Duanmu:

"Consultant Duanmu, have you ever been a team leader?"

"No." Duanmu was puzzled: "What does this have to do with the teacher who leads the team?"

Mito Menyan said: "This has a lot to do with it."

Duanmu frowned and waited for Mitomonyan to organize his speech.

"Consultant Duanmu, you have never been a team leader, but think carefully about whether your team leader and team members are very important partners in your ninja career. Is Miyake Jōnin who accepted you as a disciple right?" You have a huge influence?"

Duanmu returned:

"Ms. Akimichimaru helped me become a ninja. I am sincerely grateful. My team members are my best friends, and Mr. Miyake and I are like father and son."

Akimichi Dingzuo thought in his heart, you thank Akimichimaru for taking some action, what's the point of just talking about it, it's so clear.

Mitomon nodded and continued:
"The stability of the ninja system in the village depends largely on the system of leading teachers passed down from master to apprentice."

"The smallest unit for a ninja to complete a mission is the ninja squad."

"Therefore, only by maintaining the firmness and reliability of the ninja team can this ninja system continue to operate."

"Then, it is the wisest choice to hand over the power of teaching ninjutsu to the squad leader."

"In this way, the team members will remember the kindness of the captain, and the captain will teach the players more carefully."

"The further development of captains and team members is the mentoring system."

"Therefore, the current system is very important to the stability of our ninja system."

Duanmu frowned, why does it sound reasonable...
What went wrong?
That's right, this theory takes everything into account, but it doesn't take into account those young players who are eager for ninjutsu.

Duanmu thought of a sentence:

Apprenticeship is a system of exploiting young workers in workshops, trades, factories!
The apprenticeship system has always had the saying "three-year apprenticeship, two-year service".

Kowtowed and worshiped, holding the bundle of repairs, he recognized the master.

The parents who gave birth to me, the master who taught me, and being a teacher is like reincarnation.

In the first three years, I paid the tuition fees, and my master instructed me to learn some skills.

I will work for my master within two years after I finish my studies, and all my income will be given to my master.

After leaving the teacher, he finds his apprentice again, and there is a new reincarnation.

The so-called "teaching apprentices, starving masters to death" is also a common phenomenon under this apprenticeship system.

Therefore, in the past three years of learning art, most of them need so-called "polishing", and it is impossible to teach you things frankly.

Unlike the teachers in Duanmu's previous life, most of the teachers were able to do their best.

In the apprenticeship system, whenever a vicious master was beaten and scolded frequently, the disciple would not hesitate to take revenge after leaving the teacher.

Regardless of the right or wrong of the apprenticeship system, the biggest problem with the apprenticeship system is that it cannot be taught on a large scale, and the efficiency is extremely low.

Teaching by hand, and the master still hides it, there will be ghosts if the efficiency is high.

This apprenticeship system is historical garbage that will definitely be eliminated.

This room is high-rise, looking at Duanmu is like looking at a naive chick who has not experienced much in the world.

Duanmu knew what they were thinking, how could he know the benefits of having disciples if he had never brought them up.

Just look at the third generation and bring out the three disciples of Sannin.A four shadow class, it is not too much to walk sideways in the village.

Jiraiya also brought out Namikaze Minato, Namikaze Minato became the fourth generation, and the fourth generation brought out Kakashi, and now Kakashi is the hottest celebrity around the third generation, and he can be regarded as the successor of the third generation.

In the future, Kakashi will bring out the first and second brothers in the ninja world.

In the end, Duanmu was defeated by these middle-aged and elderly people.

Mitomon finally said:
"Consultant Duanmu, I suggest you bring along a group of disciples, so that you can feel more empathy."

Duanmu was fed up with their expression that you were still young.

Duanmu knew that his purpose of this meeting could not be achieved.

Finally, there is no doubt that Duanmu's proposal was not adopted.

Duanmu and Tongtong returned to the roots dejectedly.

Leaning on the chair with his head thrown back, Duanmu was in a very bad mood.

Why is it so difficult to do something? It is obviously the right thing to do, but there are many obstacles.

Sitting on the sofa opposite Duanmu, Lei Tong didn't say a word.

Suddenly, Duanmu remembered something, and suddenly sat up from the chair.

"No! There are places we didn't expect!"

Duanmu was thinking quickly, and through serving as a team leader once, the third generation almost brought under Konoha's young talents in the next few decades.

Can you think about it this way, if it is more extreme, if all four thousand ninja ninjas become team leaders, will it be possible to accept 1 disciples?

Isn't this a way for the few to control the many?

Duanmu said: "It's the same, you go to check the data of a family."

Lei Tong also became serious. The last time Duanmu asked for statistical data, it greatly opened his eyes and strengthened his determination to fight. This time there must be some key things hidden in the ordinary data.

"Leitong, go check it out, the proportion of ninja ninjas among the teachers who lead the team!"

"If the proportion of ninja ninjas as team leaders is overwhelming compared to civilians, then it proves that the mode of teaching ninjutsu in the team is also a means for ninjas to rule most civilian ninjas!"

"Very likely, this isn't a battle rhythm issue at all, it's not an intelligence security issue, it's not a ninja system stability issue!"

"No, it is indeed a problem of the stability of the ninja system, but it is a problem of the stability of the ninja system!"

Hearing this, Lei Tong got up and left Duanmu's office to collect data.

Duanmu waited calmly in the office, all the seemingly unreasonable things had a reason behind them.

Half a day later, Lei Tong came back with a scroll.

Spreading out the scroll, Duanmu looked at the data carefully.

Lei Tong explained on the side:

"Duanmu, you guessed it right again."

"The ratio of ninja ninjas as team leaders has reached an astonishing 70%."

"Their reason is simple. Ninja ninjas have received more systematic education since they were young, so their knowledge is more comprehensive, and they are more suitable as team leaders."

Duanmu sneered: "It's really hard to guard against..."

Lei Tong asked: "What should we do now?"

Duanmu thought for a while and said:
"We are still too kind to the ninja, they don't deserve it."

"Only by smashing the existing system can we build a better Konoha!"
