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

Contrary to Watanabe Tetsu's guess, Mio was worried that Watanabe Tetsu would tell his father mainly because he was afraid of being called an "idiot".

Her father always placed great importance on cultivating her character.

She would never swear under normal circumstances.

Mio's personality is also more introverted.

I lashed out at those classmates mainly because I was so angry.

But no matter what, she still cursed.

And it's also very dirty.

If my father finds out, I'll definitely get a scolding!

Thinking this way, Mio naturally hoped that Watanabe Tetsu wouldn't reveal what happened during the day.

"Long time no see, Mio."

Upon hearing the principal's greeting, Mio immediately nodded slightly, appearing elegant and poised.

"You two know each other?"

Nishimura adjusted her glasses, looked at her daughter, and then at Watanabe Toru.

This reaction clearly indicates that they recognize each other.

Did you meet during the day today?

Has his daughter gotten into some trouble? Why is he so afraid of Watanabe Tetsu?

With this question in mind, Nishimura took a few steps back to Mio's side and whispered to her.

"Did you get into trouble at school?"

Uh!

Mio froze, and immediately denied it.

"No!"

Mio immediately took a step back and crossed her arms in front of her chest.

Wow, such a big reaction.

Looks like I've gotten myself into trouble.

Nishimura then secretly glanced at Watanabe Toru, who was smiling.

Fortunately, Mr. Watanabe didn't seem angry with his child.

So it shouldn't be a bad thing.

Is it highly likely that he intervened to help others?

It can only be said that Nishimura is indeed quite capable as the head of the logistics department.

One can roughly guess what happened during the day by observing the reactions of the two people.

"Mio, Principal Watanabe came to see you this time."

He glanced at Watanabe Tetsu standing at the door and gestured for him to enter the living room.

"Lord Watanabe, you two chat, I'll go make you some tea."

After saying that, he turned around and went to the kitchen to boil water.

Since Xiaoguang City achieved full electricity coverage, boiling water has become very convenient.

We must thank the research department for their contributions.

Meanwhile, Watanabe Tetsu, standing in the living room, looked at Mio and spoke directly.

"I've come to your house this time because I want to take you as my apprentice. I wonder if you're interested."

Mio wasn't a little kid anymore, so she naturally understood the meaning of taking on a disciple.

The other party was her father's superior, so his status and strength must be superior.

Although Mio never inquired about her father's specific identity, she could tell from the way others treated her that her father's social status was definitely not low.

He was practically second only to the emperor, above everyone else.

Furthermore, considering the promotion of Xiaoguang Ninja Academy as "the first public ninja school in the Land of Rain".

Watanabe Toru is the principal of this school.

Their identity is self-evident.

The other party is very likely the ruler of the entire Rain Kingdom.

Today, someone of this status has approached her, hoping to take her as his apprentice.

There is no doubt that this choice was related to her father.

"I'm fine, Watanabe-sensei."

"You changed your tune pretty quickly."

Watanabe was not surprised by this choice.

From her behavior during the day, it's clear that Mio is a very intelligent person.

No one will refuse the guidance of a strong person.

Moreover, it is the only sky in the Land of Rain!

It may sound a bit grandiose, but that's the truth.

The skill of a ninja relies heavily on talent and lineage.

Mio already felt that her studies at the Ninja Academy were becoming somewhat easy.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, she will be able to complete the six-year curriculum of the Ninja Academy in three years.

Based on the teachers' statements, it is very likely that she will graduate early.

After that, she would need to find a teacher to continue her studies.

Watanabe Toru's presence can fill this void.

"Lord Watanabe, please have some tea."

Nishimura walked out of the kitchen carrying a teacup filled with tea.

Judging from this, they must have finished talking.

He handed the tea to Watanabe Toru and placed another cup in front of himself.

The last glass was orange juice, which was given to Mio.

"Thank you, Dad!"

Mio took the glass filled with orange juice.

She was about to inhale deeply when she remembered that her teacher, Watanabe Tetsu, was standing nearby.

His wide-open mouth suddenly stopped, and he pretended to yawn.

"Ah~"

Then she picked up the glass, brought it to her lips, and slowly sipped.

Nishimura couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.

His daughter is always quite comfortable at home, but she presents a cool and aloof image in front of outsiders.

This contrast is quite unique.

Nishimura thought of the cute interactions he had with Mio, and then he thought of Mio's aloof and unapproachable demeanor when she first entered the classroom.

It's like they're not even the same person.

Watanabe Toru took a small sip of tea.

"Good tea."

As his status in the Land of Rain gradually rose, he had more and more opportunities to enjoy tea.

Gradually, he also learned some of the tricks of the trade.

He is no longer the person who didn't know how to appreciate tea!

He looked at Nishimura, then at Mio.

"I checked the Ninja Academy's evaluation of Mio and found that she is a rare user of three chakra natures, and that she has wind and water natures that overlap with the parts I am proficient in."

"Furthermore, Mio's performance at the Ninja Academy is outstanding, and she will definitely become an excellent ninja in the future."

"That's why I had the idea of ​​taking on apprentices."

Nishimura nodded and immediately flattered him.

"It is Mio's good fortune to be taught by you."

"Don't be so polite."

Watanabe Tetsu waved his hand, "That Nishimura guy still pulls this act in front of his daughter."

He accepted Mio as his apprentice because of her talent.

It might have something to do with Nishimura, but not much.

"I've been developing Ice Release techniques lately; perhaps you could give it a try."

This was said to Mio.

"Ice Release? What's that?"

As a freshman who had just enrolled, she was unaware of the existence of bloodline limits.

"Chakra has five attributes, and if two attributes are combined, a completely new state can be formed."

"Ice Release, is that how it came about?"

Mio countered with a question, as if she understood.

"That's right, Ice Release is composed of Wind Release and Water Release."

Watanabe Toru continued.

"Since you happen to have mastered Wind Release and Water Release, perhaps you could also learn Ice Release."

Watanabe Toru spoke while spreading his hands.

An ice crystal appeared in his palm.

The living room chandelier illuminated the ice crystal with a dazzling array of colors.

"It looks great!"

Mio opened her mouth wide, moved her body slightly toward Watanabe Tetsu's palm, and admired the icy crystal with wide eyes.

"Teacher, I want to learn this!"

"If you want to learn this, the training at the Ninja Academy alone isn't enough."

Watanabe Tetsu laughed.

"Then I'll practice more!"

Watanabe Toru glanced at the clock in Nishimura's house.

"There's a training session at seven o'clock. Do you want to come with me?"

"want!"

Looking at the restless Mio, Nishimura really wanted to ask, "Are you coming back for dinner?"

Every evening at seven o'clock, Watanabe Tetsu would give guidance to his three disciples.

Watanabe Tetsu still hoped that his disciples, including Yahiko, could become stronger as soon as possible.

So they receive guidance almost every day.

Although the time is short, only a little over an hour each day, at least it's not a state of complete neglect.

Watanabe Tetsu looked at Mio again.

Perhaps in the future there will be four Heavenly Kings of the Rain Kingdom?
