Naruto: The Tavern Speech Begins to Make the Land of Rain Great

[Chapter 87: He's in the dark room; currently being revised]

The eldest brother stiffly turned his head toward the door.

A figure like a nightmare appeared there.

Ruined.

The most embarrassing thing in history is being caught bragging by the person in question.

"Hello, Principal!"

Good morning, Principal!

"Hello, Watanabe-sensei!"

As Watanabe Tetsu stepped into Class 2 of the first year, a flood of greetings from the students poured in.

Watanabe Toru waved his hand to indicate that he had received their greetings.

He then turned his gaze to Mio, who had raised her fist.

He nodded.

The next second, Mio's fist slammed down.

This time, she didn't hold back.

One punch landed, and the other man's face swelled up, blood flowing from his nose.

Mio stood up cleanly and then bowed slightly to Watanabe Tetsu.

Her tone was calm, yet it conveyed respect.

"Good morning, Principal Watanabe."

"Good morning, Mio."

He had seen everything that Mio had done.

Unexpectedly, she actually helped the bullied person.

Is it because you simply can't stand it anymore?

Or did Nishimura give him some pointers from behind the scenes?

Regardless, Watanabe Tetsu liked this kind of personality.

They are efficient and decisive in their work, and they will also stand up for the weak.

He was astute and his behavior was very polite.

Who wouldn't like a child like that?

Another reason is...

Purple eyes, long, straight black hair!

Mio Nishimura's existence successfully made up for the regret of Naruto not having long, straight black hair.

Of course, if you say that Hashirama Senju also had long, straight black hair, then there's nothing you can do about it.

No wonder Madara was so fond of Hashirama Senju.

In short, Watanabe Tetsu didn't expect that his trip to the Ninja Academy would also allow him to assess Nishimura Mio.

Watanabe Tetsuya's idea of ​​taking the other party as his last disciple grew stronger.

But right now, we need to deal with important matters first.

He turned his gaze to the bullies and then said calmly.

"You don't need to come to the ninja academy tomorrow, because you've been expelled."

Watanabe Tetsu looked at Nishimura Mio again.

He waved his hand and said.

"Come here for a moment."

Amidst the stunned gazes of the bullies, Mio walked towards Watanabe Tetsu.

"headmaster."

Mio followed Watanabe Tetsu to the principal's office.

Although Watanabe Toru doesn't come to this office very often, it is still kept in good order.

"sit."

Mio nodded, straightened her clothes, and sat down in the chair.

Watanabe Tetsu looked at the confident girl in her eyes and said casually.

"Don't be too reserved. Your father and I are old acquaintances."

"Yes, Headmaster."

Seeing Mio's increased restraint, Watanabe Tetsu couldn't help but laugh.

Are you worried that he will tell Nishimura about it?

Watanabe Toru understands Nishimura; he is a very tactful person, but he has his own bottom line.

For such people, they are highly likely to choose to stand by and watch when faced with a bullying incident.

If Nishimura knew about Mio's performance today, he would probably nag her for a long time.

There's nothing we can do about it.

That's how the world of ninjas is; sometimes meddling in other people's business comes at a price.

Especially when you lack the strength.

Nishimura's philosophy of doing things is also understandable.

However, Watanabe Tetsu admires people like Nishimura Mio more.

Knowing one's own strengths and weaknesses, and being able to act with discretion, allows one to handle matters with ease.

Most importantly, they have a sense of justice.

If you're taking on apprentices, who wouldn't want their apprentice to be an upright person?

Aren't there enough cases of ninja killing masters in the ninja world?

Having figured this out, Watanabe Tetsu began to speak.

"Don't worry, I won't tell your father about what happened today."

Upon hearing this, Nishimura Mio's shoulders suddenly relaxed, and she leaned back in her chair like a deflated balloon.

"That's good, hehe."

The change before and after is too big.

Where did that composed yet domineering aura go?

"I contacted you to ask what your thoughts are on bullying."

Mio Nishimura rubbed her chin, deep in thought.

"Bullying? That's a pretty apt term."

She continued.

"Bullying is nothing more than a group of people bullying a weaker person in order to strengthen their group."

Watanabe Toru nodded.

"Then why did you take action today?"

Mio Nishimura shrugged.

"Because they went too far."

"Today they actually wanted to make Xiaoshan act like a dog! How could they possibly do something so humiliating?!"

"Then why didn't you do it before?"

Mio Nishimura paused for half a second, then met Tetsu Watanabe's gaze.

"Because I want Xiaoshan to rebel."

"To be honest, I've tried to talk to Xiaoshan many times these past few days, hoping he'll fight back against those guys, but Xiaoshan is just scared."

"They chose to bully Xiaoshan because he was too weak."

"If I choose to help him, maybe he won't be bullied at school, but what about after school? What about when I'm not around? What about after graduation?"

"I want Xiaoshan to learn to rebel."

At this point, Mio Nishimura smiled helplessly.

"Although he ultimately didn't resist."

Watanabe Toru nodded.

Mio Nishimura has a long-term vision.

Perhaps a student who upholds justice would choose to intervene directly.

But as Nishimura Mio said...

If victims are not taught to fight back and to stand up for themselves,

Then it's only a matter of time before they're bullied again.

So she chose to watch from the sidelines and let Xiaoshan handle the matter himself.

She only intervened when the other party's behavior became particularly outrageous.

Watanabe Toru glanced at Nishimura Mio and praised her.

"You are very smart."

I got praised!

Suppressing her joy, Nishimura Mio controlled her expression and forced a smile.

"Thank you for the compliment, Principal."

"I have one more question."

Mio Nishimura perked up her ears.

"What do you think we should do to help Xiaoshan overcome his timid personality?"

This question made Nishimura Mio think deeply.

She thought for a full minute before replying.

"I have no idea."

After a moment, she spoke again.

"However, I think perhaps we should encourage him to interact more with his classmates; that might change him."

"Yeah?"

Watanabe Tetsu's smile remained constant; his true intentions were revealed at the last moment.

"Then this task will be assigned to you: help Xiaoshan integrate into the class and overcome his timid personality."

Mio Nishimura took a deep breath, but couldn't think of any reason to refuse.

If she had to say something, she wished that Koyama could be a bit more assertive.

Watanabe Tetsuya also hoped that this arrangement would help Koyama integrate into the group.

Such a timid personality is not conducive to the growth of a ninja.

Although Koyama is likely to be of average talent, that is not a reason for Watanabe Tetsu not to help him.

No matter what, Koyama is a student at Akatsuki Ninja Academy.

"Yes, Headmaster."

Seeing that Watanabe Toru had finished saying what he wanted to say and ask,

The scene fell silent for a moment.

Nishimura Mio tried.

"May I leave now?"

Watanabe Toru smiled.

"Of course, but we'll meet again soon."
