[Hokage] One tit for another

Now that you have decided to practice, don't be hypocritical.

Contrary to my previous attitude of avoiding spiritual practice, I started to get up early every day and run to the back of the mountain with Itachi.Itachi is a very good teacher. He didn't directly teach me cool cheats like I imagined, but taught me from the most basic techniques.I was even asked to run laps every day to exercise my physical fitness. ——As a well-known genius in Naruto, Itachi pays attention to basics unexpectedly.

I didn't expect that all kinds of powerful movements of ninjas start from the most basic and simple running.Sometimes I have to follow Itachi to do radio gymnastics... Yes, it is said to be a set of basic boxing techniques, but I followed Itachi's movements slowly and slowly, which is clearly no different from radio gymnastics.

But when Itachi chained those movements together so fast that he could hardly see his figure, it was really lethal.

I wanted to learn tachi, and Itachi tailored a wooden sword for me.It was made by him himself, according to the ratio of my body length and strength, it was the most suitable knife for me.

Speaking of practice, Itachi is more serious and happier than me.He couldn't wait to teach me everything he knew, taught me the basic moves and movements, watched me practice all day long, and corrected every mistake in it for me.Even his own practice has to go to the back row.

I once thought Itachi cut down his practice time, but a few days later I discovered that this guy actually sneaked to the back mountain in the middle of the night to make up for his lost training.

Is this guy... an idiot?

Of course I want to stop someone's stupid behavior. Unlike me who lives a leisurely life, Itachi has to go on missions. Regression in skills and lack of energy are major matters of life and death.

In the end, I had to expand the training ground on the back mountain with Itachi. He practiced there, and I practiced my sword skills here. Although the distance is relatively far, the field of vision is wide, and you can see each other when you look up. .

Perhaps it was finally able to experience the joy of cultivating together with brothers, Itachi was always in a good mood and smiled a lot more than usual.

And I also found some joy in the repetitive monotonous practice.

Make [-] chops with your left hand, then [-] chops with your right hand, and then [-] strokes with your left and right hands for each basic move. If you can't complete it, run around Konoha three times.

This is an inspiration I got from Locke Lee, but I would never shout it out, it would be a shame.And in order not to embarrass myself by running circles around Konoha and aggravating my reputation as an idiot, I worked hard to complete the task every day.

The effect of practice became more and more obvious. At the beginning, I was out of breath after only doing less than a hundred strokes. Later, I was able to easily complete the task of two thousand strokes.

And I am becoming more and more familiar with the knife in my hand. Sometimes I hold the knife with ease. Compared with the rigidity at the beginning, I can now flexibly rotate the long knife in my palm. between transforms.

With the improvement of knife skills, my physical fitness is also increasing day by day.

Because I changed my mind of wanting to eat and wait to die as an ordinary person, I am working hard to get closer to a ninja, such as not going the right way when going out, jumping directly from the window, and then galloping in the woods, in the big Jumping from branch to branch.

Sometimes I am surprised myself, in fact, it hasn't been long, but the changes in me are earth-shaking.When will I be able to jump up and down on branches like a monkey, and fly over walls like a classical swordsman.

I no longer resist shuriken Kunai's common ninja weapons.When Itachi offered to teach me the art of shuriken again intentionally or unintentionally, I naturally agreed.

Itachi was obviously stunned for a moment, then smiled big, and asked me with a little foolishness: "Really? Sasuke wants to learn the art of shuriken? Why did he suddenly change his mind?"

"Yeah. Because my brother is very handsome when he uses a shuriken. I want to be as good as my brother in the future." I looked at Itachi seriously and said, trying to make my tone cheerful. ——Although I can't figure out Itachi's brain circuit, it's always right to praise him first.

But this is not a complete compliment. Sometimes I really want to be as powerful as Itachi. After all, there is a middle school boy hidden in every man's heart, and he will inevitably hope that he is the number one in the universe. A Saiyan.And Itachi's strength is very unscientific. When I saw that Itachi's score in the official statistics was tied for the first place with Jiraiya, I almost knelt down for this guy.Jiraiya is also one of the Sannin, needless to say about his strength, but itachi and the Sannin are so many generations behind, their lives are completely cheating.

I'm not a person who is good at acting. With Itachi's insight, it is impossible not to detect the hypocrisy in my words, but Itachi is still very happy, with a gentle and satisfied smile on his face.

Itachi has this kind of ability, and he can take the perfunctory words I say casually, as if all the innocence and foolishness have been swayed on me.

Itachi didn't delay, and even ignored his daily practice in the afternoon, he immediately took out his shuriken, handed it to me, and explained it to me in detail.

Itachi told me a lot, from the differences in the types of shurikens, to how to hold different shurikens, and the differences in movements when using them, some of which are the basics of getting started that any ninja knows, and some of which are summed up by himself experience and skills.Not only that, but also the sun, wind direction, and even the softness of the ground.

I don't know anyone else who can speak as comprehensively as he does. In fact, more ninjas don't have much theoretical basis. They rely on experience and feelings, but Itachi can summarize all of these, which is enough to see what lies behind him. The effort it takes - the tiny details can only be understood with countless hours of practice and practice.

The art of shuriken is Itachi's pride. Unlike Sharingan, which is opened by blood, Shuriken is something Itachi has learned since he was sensible. Every little skill and every little detail in it is his slow Accumulated slowly and fumbled, there are also those novel little tricks, which he perfected and modified time and time again on the practice field alone, condensing his painstaking efforts.

He wants to tell me all these discoveries and innovations of his own, just like children always show their favorite treasures to others, and then expect to be praised.

——That's why he was so happy when I wanted to learn shuriken from him.

In fact, I was really stunned.

I never thought that the art of shuriken is so broad and profound. Even though it is the unique skill of the Uchiha family, and I haven’t had much contact with the tribe, I still think Itachi’s achievements in shuriken are absolute. surpassed all others.

What kind of weird hobby is this?Some people's hobby is playing shuriken?

Itachi talked on and on for a long time before he suddenly realized that he seemed to be too excited and completely forgot to consider the younger brother's comprehension ability and his poor hearing, so he couldn't help but stop and look at me in embarrassment.

But Itachi obviously worried too much, I have to reiterate again - I'm not an idiot!

I get it, really.Although what he just said was a bit fast, maybe I am too used to Itachi's way of speaking and intonation, no matter how fast he speaks, I can easily understand every word he said.

"Brother is amazing." In order to show that I really understood everything, as soon as Itachi stopped, I immediately said, "Brother has such a deep understanding of shuriken, definitely better than father!"

Itachi smiled, although he didn't take my words seriously, but my comfort did make him very happy.He looked at me for a while, then stretched out his finger and poked my forehead: "Okay, Sasuke, try it first."

Under Itachi's guidance, I set up a good posture: my legs were staggered back and forth, slightly wider than the shoulders, my arms were crossed in front of my chest, and I was holding the shuriken in one hand and holding the shuriken in the other.Look ahead, lean forward, and bend your legs slightly.

"Separate the legs a little more." Itachi said beside him, helping me straighten my shoulders, "Open your shoulders, use a little force."

I felt the force of the shuriken following Itachi's movements, and then aimed at the wooden stake not far away and threw it. The shuriken spun and was nailed to the wooden stake with a "buzz", penetrating three points into the wood.

Fortunately, I practiced Taidao, and my arm strength and wrist strength have made great progress. Otherwise, although the shuriken hits but cannot be nailed, it is quite a shame.

I carefully recalled the action just now, adjusted it slightly, and threw the shuriken out again until all the hidden weapons in my hand were used up, and they were firmly nailed to the stake.I breathed a sigh of relief, and raised my head happily, meeting Itachi's gaze.

Itachi's eyes were full of smiles, with a bit of anticipation and pride. When he saw me looking over, he smiled, stepped forward, and tapped my forehead: "Sasuke, you're doing well."

I don't know if Itachi's proud expression is so contagious that I feel a little happy in my heart?

Hell, I'm not a kid, can I be bought off with a compliment?

However, I once again deeply felt Itachi's efforts.

The shuriken tips that Itachi told me are really useful, even if I am just a beginner, I can still do it decently according to the movements and methods he said.It is not known how many times he practiced repeatedly to figure out these skills.

When people talk about Itachi Uchiha, the first thing they think of is that he is a genius and the youngest person in the Uchiha family who opened his eyes. People think his sharing eyes are very powerful, but they have never seen the shuriken of Itachi. The technique is also astonishing.

I suddenly understood why Itachi was so disgusted with the title of "genius" that people gave him.People never know how much time Itachi spends training every day, and how many injuries he has suffered for training. Just saying "genius" erases all his hard work.

Genius, is it admiration for Itachi, or some excuses for not working hard?

"What's wrong?" Itachi seems to have noticed my stunned.

"It's okay..." I shook my head, looked at Itachi, and this time I said sincerely, "I just think you're amazing."

The weather was fine, the sun was shining brightly, and the eagles were flying and screaming on the distant ridges.

Itachi was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled, then smiled slowly, patted my head and said, "Sasuke is also very good."

……

……

……

Can't bear it, no need to bear it anymore!

I really sympathize with you only after eating Xiang!Who told you to touch the young master's head like a child? !

I knocked Itachi's hand off and walked under the tree angrily, intending to rest for a while.Itachi followed step by step.

I smeared the rice balls in the bento on Itachi's face, feeling as miserable as galloping through ten thousand grass mud horses.

People like Itachi deserve to be crazy!He deserves to be envied, bastard!
