Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage!

Chapter 224 Asuma, you are worse than trash!
Understand, but don’t necessarily agree.

Kakashi today is obviously different from before and from the one in the original timeline.

He did not think White Fang had done anything wrong.

Can be the same.

If there is a mission that will cause huge losses to the country or the village, sometimes it is worth it even if it means sacrificing oneself.

"However, in that era, making such a decision actually requires great courage. I still think that my father is amazing!"

Kakashi smiled and added.

He sat down on the side, looking very relaxed and at ease. It wasn't like he was facing his superior, but rather he was chatting and talking with his partner Jingyan as he did in the past.

"Let's go back to the previous question. You mentioned the Daimyo and the Hokage. Do you think some people would think the Daimyo is more important?"

"Although the previous guardian nin was used by Danzo, wasn't it because of this in the end?"

Jingyan asked back.

Kakashi pondered for a few seconds, then nodded slightly.

This is true.

Regardless of the process and the outcome, the root cause is that the descendants of the daimyo and some nobles believed that Kyoto was more important.

He thought for a long time: "I feel like this is essentially a question of who has the final say."

"Yes, the right to speak."

Jingyan nodded.

Essentially, the aristocratic faction in Kyoto wants to create guardian ninjas, which is a question of discourse power.

The nobles, led by Enichikyuu, believe that they are the core of the Land of Fire, not Konoha or the Hokage. Anyone can be trained as a ninja, and Konoha is not necessarily needed.

of course.

The daimyo and nobles of the Land of Water thought the same.

however.

They have no idea how ninja combat is like.

When the ninjas from the ninja village really attacked, all they could do was hope that their opponents would not be so cruel and leave a little wiggle room.

"The Fire Country Daimyo is still understanding. He knows exactly what he should do. As for this guardian ninja, to put it bluntly, it is just a lesson."

Jingyan explained.

Although the current daimyo is not considered old, he is already quite old, and has been in office for only twenty years at most.

If we don’t cultivate it, what will happen after twenty years?
While he is still able to do so, he can attend classes and take some losses, and then he can come out and clean up the mess. This is better than doing something big and blowing up the Fire Nation after Yuan Shixiu comes to power.

Having said this, Jing Yan paused.

"In a sense, Sister Tsunade is also doing something similar, but I'm more stable and haven't done anything out of the ordinary yet."

Compared to Yuan Shixiu, Jingyan felt that he was too stable.

but……

Apparently, Kakashi didn't think so.

He hesitated.

Jing Yan glanced at him and said, "What do you want to say?"

"Well, I don't think you are stable. The Third Hokage and Jiraiya-sensei used to be stable, but now, Jiraiya-sensei has been influenced by you and has become completely different."

Kakashi was too exhausted to complain.

Jingyan chuckled.

"That's what he calls steady? That's what he calls cowardly! There's a difference between being cowardly and steady. If there are four or five people who want to beat me up, will begging for mercy be of any use? Grab one or two of them and beat them until they're hurt and scared, then they won't dare to bully you!"

"Well... I have never experienced such a scene since I was a child..."

Kakashi said with a hint of amusement in his tone.

This is the truth.

Since he was very young, he has been a famous genius in the village. Even if others wanted to attack him, they would be beaten to a pulp by him.

but.

He knew that Jingyan was right.

Hit a punch, lest a hundred punches come!

Simply retreating will not solve the problem. Only by fighting until the other party is hurt and afraid can you truly find your own peace. Otherwise, there may be peace one moment and the other party will come again the next.

Jingyan had talked about this kind of principle before.

He stood up and said, "I can go ask the others, but Asuma, I think... it would be safer for you to go."

Kakashi scratched his head.

"You know, Asuma right now is a little hard to get along with, to be honest, and I'm not very good at having heart-to-heart talks. How about letting Shinnosuke-senpai go?"

Even Might Guy thinks that Asuma is unfocused and has little potential.

Not to mention him.

It's not that Kakashi dislikes it, he just doesn't want to put in any effort in this regard.

Jing Yan nodded: "Then I will go."

Just Asma, isn't that easy to catch?

……

In the current outskirts of Konoha, a special road was built along the outer village road.

From the jonin and chunin to the children, a group of people ran along the village road.

At the front, a man roared loudly, with high morale.

Even the children were able to keep up with the pace at a leisurely pace, but behind them, Asuma walked forward at a leisurely pace with a absent-minded look on his face.

"Asuma!"

A shout came from behind.

Then, a figure quickly caught up.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing, just run ahead, I'll catch up soon."

"I'm already one lap ahead of you."

Might Guy was speechless.

Asuma was stunned for a moment, then didn't answer, but ran forward in silence. Kai shook his head, said something, and continued to run forward.

He had to finish the run quickly so he could practice physical skills!

Asma sighed and simply sat down on the side, watching the noisy crowd disappearing in front of him, without saying anything for a long time.

He didn't know what he was thinking either.

Just ...

I don't know why I'm working so hard.

At this time.

"Confused?"

A voice sounded behind itself.

This sound...

Asuma was startled and instantly stood up and looked behind him with a look of disbelief on his face, and then a hint of vigilance.

"What are you here for?"

"I heard something, so I came to see what the person who admitted defeat was like. It's really dejected. A loser like you still wants to surpass me?"

Jingyan had a bright smile on his face.

Bullying children is really fun!

No matter how angry the other party is, he can't do anything to you, just like Asma now.

and.

Their thoughts are so easy to guess.

This was the case with Uchiha Sasuke in the original timeline, and it is also the case with Asuma Sarutobi now.

Asuma gritted his teeth, stood up and ran forward.

A voice came slowly from behind.

"Let you run first for ten seconds, I will catch up with you soon."

"you!"

Asuma stopped walking and glared back at Kyouhiko angrily.

"You are stronger than me, you are better than me! Okay? That's enough? Don't bother me anymore! I don't want to see you!"

As he said that, he threw out the fist blade at his waist.

Wind escape chakra was attached, and sharp air blades were spitting out from above, but in the blink of an eye...

Jingyan clamped it with both hands.

The fist blade did not cause any damage to him.

"As a ninja who relies more on weapons, it is your second life and partner. Is this how you treat your companion?"

Jingyan's eyes were cold.

Asuma opened his mouth and looked down for a moment.

"terribly sorry!"

"I still like you better than before. At least you had goals and drive back then, instead of being like you are now... a waste! No, you are worse than a waste!"

Jingyan threw the fist blade back.

"Come here if you dare."

"Humph!"

Asuma picked up the fist blade and rushed towards Jingyan immediately, but when he swung the fist blade, Jingyan in front of him turned into a shadow. It was not a clone technique, but simply too fast!
Asuma looked up and quickly caught up with him using the teleportation technique.

One after the other.

Jingyan didn't run too fast.

Soon, they came to a dense jungle.

Asuma held the fist blades in both hands, and the air blades formed by the wind chakra spewed out, breaking the branches one after another, and quickly killed towards Jingyan.

His speed...

Honestly, besides Kyouhiko, Kakashi, and Gai, he should be pretty good compared to the rest.

but.

Compared to the three of them, Asuma's speed seemed too ordinary.

The sound of tearing air rang out around Jingyan, but no matter how hard Asuma tried, he couldn't hit Jingyan, as if...

He will never be able to defeat the other party!
Asuma felt a little depressed.

He understands.

I can never win, the opponent is too strong, so strong that I can't see any hope.

Even if the opponent is seriously injured...

Maybe, defeating him would be easy.

"If I were your enemy, would you give up just because I'm stronger than you?"

"Give up? I haven't given up yet! I won't give up!"

Asuma gritted his teeth.

How could I give up!

He swung his sword quickly, increasing his chakra output, with only one thought in his mind -

beat!
Knock down the opponent!
laugh!
A voice sounded.

Jingyan's clothes were torn, but...

next moment.

Bang!
With one palm, Asuma was knocked away.

Wind Style: Beast Wave Palm!
"Not bad, the Wind Style is pretty good."

"..."

Asuma held his breath and didn't speak for a long time.

Wind Escape...

why!
How come this guy's wind-style ninjutsu is so powerful!

Is there any ninjutsu that this guy doesn't know?
"I kill you!"

Asuma's eyes turned red.

He rushed forward again, but was instantly grabbed by Jingyan's hand. As he was struggling, his other hand was caught by the sapling, and then he was quickly hung upside down on the tree.

"Are you angry? Trying hard may not help much, but at least it will keep you from falling behind too much. If you had worked harder, you wouldn't have lost so badly. Now you..."

"You jerk! Even Hong can abuse you. Do you believe it?"

Jingyan instantly appeared under the tree.

Asuma struggled hard, not wanting to respond at all.

"Okay, hang it for a while, and it will automatically untie itself, and then you can go home by yourself."

"Since you don't want to win, it's fine to be an ordinary person for the rest of your life."

Jingyan put his hands in his pockets and walked out slowly.

"What did you say?"

"I!"

"How can it be……"

Asuma said this, he instantly rushed behind Jingyan.

He used wind escape to cut the vines that bound his hands, but it was useless. The moment he approached Jingyan, an invisible stream of chakra directly knocked him away.

The master-level supernatural power does not require any obvious movements, and the whole body can burst out with terrible impact force.

It might not be enough to deal with a Kage-level warrior, but it is too easy to deal with someone like Asuma. It is simply playing with levels.

but.

Jingyan's goal is not to drive Asuma completely crazy.

After beating Asuma.

He turned around and looked at the other person out of the corner of his eye.

"If you want to become stronger, there is an opportunity next."

"what chance?"

"Do you want to be a Guardian Ninja? Next, there will be a Guardian Ninja training. If you are willing to be one, then go and participate. Change the environment, watch more, practice more, and learn more. Maybe your mentality will be different."

Jing Yan said.

He said calmly: "There, there is no such title as the son of the Hokage or the younger brother of Shinnosuke. You are just Asuma, an ordinary guardian nin."

Asuma was stunned for a few seconds, somewhat incredulous.

"you……"

He was confused, not only because he was completely unable to catch up with Jingyan, but also because he couldn't find the meaning of being a ninja and didn't know why he became a ninja.

For the expectations of father and brother?

He hated when people added various titles before his name, but other people didn't seem to understand his feelings.

What he didn't expect was...

The person who understood him the most was actually Ryomine Kyohiko, the guy he regarded as his enemy.

He was stunned and didn't speak for a long time.

"If you want to participate, you have to work hard. Otherwise, with your current level, even if you get in, others will think you got in through the back door."

"Absolute waste!"

Kyohiko taunted again.

Then, he disappeared in an instant.

It’s not Flying Thunder God, but the most common instant body-flickering technique.

Asuma stayed where he was.

He looked at the fist blade in his hand and didn't speak for a long time.

Looking back, there was a moment that touched Asma.

Jingyan would never mock him for his status as the "son of the third generation". He would only think that he had poor abilities, a bad mentality, and was self-destructive.

"For a change of environment, Guardian Ninja?"

Asuma looked into the distance.

He gritted his teeth.

"That's great! I'll go see what the difference is between Daimyo and Kyoto!"

During the Third Hokage's tenure, when he was most annoyed, he even felt that the position of Hokage should not exist, and that it was enough for the Land of Fire to just have a Daimyo.

Although he doesn't have any similar ideas now, Asuma does want to see what the differences are between Daimyo and Kyoto.

Would a group of ninjas in Kyoto make the Land of Fire a better place?

At this moment, Asuma seemed to have found his goal.

He ignored the pain in his body and quickly rushed along the path towards the mountain trail.

Might Guy was running ahead and soon saw Asuma Sarutobi rushing past him.

He was stunned for a moment, then yelled.

"Burning youth! Asuma, let's have a duel. Whoever runs 100 laps first gets to run 50 laps handstand!"

"Come and fight!"

……

Hokage's office.

Tsunade was stunned.

She sensed that Jingyan appeared within the range of the barrier, and when she monitored it casually, she saw the scene between Jingyan and Asuma.

Curious to see...

result.

This kid Jingyan hung Asuma up and beat him up. I don’t know what he said, but Asuma seemed to have become a different person, instantly full of fighting spirit!
How did he do it?
"Lady Tsunade, what are you looking at? So many documents..."

"Shh! There's more important things than documents!"

Tsunade pointed at the crystal ball.

Shizune came over to take a look, and her jaw dropped.

"This, this is Asuma?"

Asuma and Might Guy ran quickly one after the other, neither of them wanted to admit defeat, which was completely different from their previous spirit.

If she changed her clothes and someone said it was Might Guy, she would believe it.

Shizune was shocked.

"How could this happen? Did someone cast a spell on him?"

"Psychological treatment!"

Tsunade muttered.

Asma was cured in just a few moves. Jingyan really understands psychology!
