Konoha's strongest substitute user

The forest northwest of Konoha Village has always been a favorite training place for novice ninjas because it is next to the Konoha training ground and hospital. Class 8 usually also practices here.

One of the compulsory courses for a three-person genin team is to practice three-person coordinated combat. Except for Kakashi's class, which is not very disciplined from teacher to student, most other teams will seriously practice three-person cooperative combat.

The practice methods are also very similar. The most commonly used one is for the jounin who is the teacher to be the imaginary enemy of the students. Being strong enough also makes it easier for the jonin to lead the team to understand the students' shortcomings and provide guidance. By the way, the best teachers that ordinary ninjas without family traditions or adventures can have contact with in their lives are the leading jounin during the genin period. And unless the jounin who leads the team is particularly appreciative, there is basically no secret technique or special skills that can be learned from the jounin who leads the team.

Class 8 is doing this kind of exercise.

The eighth team led by Kurenai Yuhi is a team specialized in investigation and tracking. The three genin in the team are all excellent in investigation, but this does not mean that this is a team with low frontal combat capabilities.

Combining the characteristics of family secrets and blood inheritance, the tactics of Class 8 are very three-dimensional. Kiba and Akamaru are powerful spears that specialize in powerful physical attacks. The Hyuga family has a strong point-killing power against human enemies. At the same time, Hinata's physical skills are very resilient. Together with the Byakugan, they are the best glue for the team to understand the battlefield situation and bond the entire team. Aburame Shino makes up for the team's disadvantage in long-distance combat. When the battle drags into a war of attrition, she can continue to harass the enemy, support teammates, and provide the enemy with excellent support firepower for the final blow.

Generally speaking, Class 8 is a team with basically no shortcomings. Even the illusion-type moves that genin generally find difficult to deal with. Because the instructing jounin is the excellent genjutsu ninja Kurenai Yuhi, Class 8 is very good at genjutsu-type opponents. There are also ways to deal with it.

Sparring continued as usual. But she has a very good relationship with every student, and her relationship with Hinata is especially good. Yuhi Hong immediately discovered something unusual.

Hinata's taijutsu increased.

It's not a simple enhancement, pure speed or strength, or the subtlety of moves. Although these have certain enhancements, there is one more important thing.

Hinata became more decisive in taking action.

As Hinata's instructor, this is a problem that Yuhi Kurenai has always had a particular headache for. Hinata's talent is very strong, her family education is also very rich, and her personality is gentle and kind. As a woman, Hinata is almost beautiful and a bit unreal except for being shy. But as a ninja, these traits in Hinata's character become disadvantages.

In past exercises, no matter how much she urged and reminded herself as a teacher, Hinata always tended to be passively defensive and rarely took the initiative to attack. She also subconsciously restrained her strength in battle and never took the initiative to attack vital points. But today's sparring...Hinata had directed her attacks at the important acupuncture points where chakra flows no less than five times. He still hasn't given up on the habit of solid defense, but his grasp of good attack opportunities is much better than before, and he is also very decisive in attacking.

"Okay, let's pause for a moment." Kurenai Yuhi paused the sparring: "Shino and Kiba did well. After a C-level mission, they have made great progress compared to before."

"Hey, thank you teacher, we have become stronger again, Akamaru." He held Akamaru's two front legs with both hands, and Akamaru barked twice to express his happiness.

"As for Hinata." Hong touched Hinata's head: "Have you encountered anything recently?"

Hinata was stunned for a moment and didn't understand what the teacher meant: "Ah"

Shino, Kiba, and Akamaru also looked at Hinata.

Hong realized that her question was somewhat ambiguous and added: "In this sparring session, Hinata's combat awareness has been greatly enhanced. Not only has her strength increased in all aspects, but her attitude has also become much stronger than before. So of course I am asking you this." , this is a compliment."

"Yeah, I feel like this time Hinata... how should I say, is even more powerful." As a super hot-blooded young man who can rival Naruto in terms of outrightness, Ya thought for a long time to come up with a more powerful description.

Shino pushed up his eyes: "You must be more proactive."

"That's right, Hinata just had several very decisive attacks on her chest."

Hinata reacted immediately.

Probably...because of Kujo Tosei's training

This person is very strange. He is obviously very patient when giving guidance, but he always says things that make people angry. For example...

"Hey Hinata, are you having a massage? The Hinata family is planning to open a bathhouse to save the money-strapped family. The eldest daughter of the Hyuga family is working part-time as a bathhouse."

"Have you tried too hard to eat? Do you want me to feed you?"

"How many times have I said that if there is a flaw, seize the opportunity to attack it. Defensive counterattack is the tactic. Defense and being beaten mean the same thing. Do you understand that you like to be beaten? Are you a masochist?"

Of course, when it comes to his sister, this guy will have another way of saying it.

"You have to fight with your brains. You are a ninja, not a street gangster. Don't use your straight fists. What do you say? I will wait until you are half as fast as me."

"Learn from Hinata. Just because I won't hit you doesn't mean your future enemies won't. You're not qualified to trade wounds with others, do you understand?"

"Keep calm. If you taunt you a few words, you will get angry. In the future, if the enemy's jounin scolds you a few times, you will also rush towards him."

In short, I like to say this kind of thing during training... But it is exactly the same as what he said. He has absolute control over the physical arts. He can't hurt him at all, and he doesn't have to worry about getting hurt, so he takes a little time. Over time, I got used to using all my strength to attack, and sometimes what he said could really make people angry.

Can't you train more gently like Mr. Hong? Moreover, every time you spar, you are very tired. Parrying with fists at that speed can really kill you.

Hinata had many similar memories during this short period of time. When Kurenai asked about it, Hinata was stunned.

Hmm~ Unexpectedly, I actually met a master who pointed me out. Hong is the kind of teacher who is very careful and understands his students. He can see the reason for Hinata's thinking at a glance: "Hinata, what are you thinking about?"

"Nothing," Hinata replied subconsciously. In short, he must report his training progress to his teacher, otherwise it would be difficult for him as a teacher to provide guidance: "Teacher Hong, my father recently found a sparring partner for my sister and me. ..No, I should have found a teacher and he taught me something, maybe that’s why.”

He can actually change Hinata's habits. Is he a ninja who is very good at educating? It seems that the Hinata family has never heard of this kind of talent, otherwise Hinata would not have such a change now: "Who is he?"

"It's Kujo Tosei."

"Kujo Tosei" Shino and Kiba repeated at the same time with rising doubtful tones.

"I saw him when he first came to the village, but I didn't expect him to have such talent." Kurenai didn't have the idea that others could not intervene in the education of her own students: "After all, he is the apprentice of the legendary Lord Jiraiya. "

Kurenai was very emotional: "It is rumored that Jiraiya-sama's ability to teach his apprentices is first-rate, which is why he taught a powerful ninja like the Yondaime-sama. I didn't expect that his apprentice also had such a talent."

Hong understood the reason for Hinata's change, and an idea in her mind became firm: "It just so happens that your strength has increased, especially Hinata. I am also relieved. I have something to tell you."

Hong said as he took out three registration forms from his chest: "These are the registration forms for this Chunin Exam hosted by Konoha. I have recommended you to take the Chunin Exam."
