Woof woof!
Just as they were panicking, a dog's bark rang out.
Satoru, carrying a grey Ninja dog, flew up on a giant eagle.
He was still smiling.
"Haiwan."
Inuzuka Hana looked at him worriedly.
Woof woof~
Haiwan looked at the ground; he felt it was better not to struggle.
It wouldn't be good if he fell.
"Give Haiwan back to me, Big Brother."
Inuzuka Hana was worried about what Satoru might do to Haiwan, especially with that smiling mouth of his.
So she spoke in a cutesy voice.
Her two younger brothers were already terrified.
"Don't kill us! Iruka Sensei told us to hit you."
The two of them immediately burst into tears, their previous courage completely gone, but it seemed they hadn't forgotten their plan.
Especially since Satoru didn't even have a face, and his mouth was smiling so eerily.
"Why would I kill you? You are the Hokage's successors.
But... since you hit me, you'll have to be punished."
Satoru said with a smile, then threw Haiwan to Inuzuka Hana.
He had already confirmed that Iruka must have said something about him at the academy.
Woof woof~
Inuzuka Hana took Haiwan and looked at Satoru: "What are you going to do?"
"Didn't you just say you wanted to ask me for advice on Ninjutsu?
I'm going to train you."
Satoru said.
"Train us?"
"Yes, you are from the Inuzuka, and those two are from the Fuma Family and the Izuno Clan, right?
According to intelligence, the Fuma Family is gradually declining, and the Izuno Clan doesn't even have a Jonin.
Since you've asked me for advice, and it's such a coincidence,
I'm going to give you some basic training to increase your chances of becoming Jonin."
Satoru looked at Inuzuka Hana and the two boys.
As a high-ranking Konoha Ninja, he knew this intelligence.
Konoha has many small clans, such as the Fuma Family, who created the Wind Demon Shuriken, and the Izuno Clan, who possess secret Ninjutsu.
Many of their clans have never produced a Jonin.
It's even difficult for them to become Chunin.
This is due to resources not comparable to large clans like the Hyuga, nor the sheer number of commoner Ninja, leading to a situation where small clans have very few Chunin.
It also made Satoru understand why the small clans in the original story appeared so rarely.
So, since he was bored anyway, it wouldn't hurt to mentor some juniors during training.
Moreover, the Ninjutsu of other clans were also very interesting.
These juniors should be the focus of their clan's cultivation, as there are simply too few people.
But the success rate, well, even a dog would shake its head.
Hearing Satoru talk about their clans, Fuma Shikun and Izuno Zaizai snapped out of their panic.
They felt a bit lost hearing that their clans didn't even have a Jonin.
They actually felt pressure too; every generation in their clans would place their hopes on the next.
This generation, it was up to them to bear the pressure and strive upwards.
They were quite good in certain talents, like the analytical theory classes just now.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so confident in trying to beat up Satoru.
"We can definitely become Chunin."
The two said firmly.
..."Hey, I've said all this, shouldn't you be aiming to become Jonin?"
Satoru was speechless.
This... they're a bit too humble!
Where was that confidence they had when they wanted to beat him up?
The two hung their heads.
It was truly because of generations of their clans failing to give them confidence.
Inuzuka Hana frowned; she hadn't expected her two younger brothers to be so lacking in confidence.
"Hey, don't let him look down on us! We just beat him up!
Be confident! We can definitely become Jonin, even Hokage!"
She loudly cheered on her two younger brothers.
This made the two younger brothers hang their heads even lower.
Their talents, while considered good within their clans, weren't exceptionally so; they knew this.
They could sense it from their family members' expressions.
It was only because their clan was so small that the pressure had to fall on them.
Chunin was already their goal.
"Alright, no matter what your goals are, as beings who punched me and stepped on me,
You already have reason to be proud; you've surpassed the genius Ninja Kakashi,
You've even surpassed the genius Ninja Uchiha Itachi,
And you've surpassed the Sanin's disciple, Anko Mitarashi."
Satoru said with a smile.
Eh?
Hearing this, the three looked up at him, looking puzzled.
The first two names were famous to them; Uchiha Itachi was even a genius who entered the academy at the same time as their older sister, and had already graduated some time ago.
As for the last one, they had heard of the Sanin, and since she was his disciple, her talent must be strong.
How could they possibly surpass such geniuses?
"Hmm, you're not wrong in thinking that; Kakashi is my classmate, and to this day, he hasn't touched a single one of my fingers."
Satoru held up a finger.
"Uchiha Itachi was my teammate a few days ago; during our sparring, he was so abused by me that he stomped his feet, and he didn't touch a single one of my fingers either."
"Anko too."
Then he praised them: "And you, with your excellent Ninja qualities, judged my psychology and successfully hit me.
You're amazing, don't underestimate yourselves, but you must work hard."
Zaizai and Shikun's eyes lit up. Is that so?
They surpassed such geniuses?
Only Inuzuka Hana was more meticulous in her thoughts, analyzing his intentions. She really wanted to say: "Is that right?"
But thinking of her two younger brothers' state, she swallowed her words.
"Alright, as punishment for you, your task today is to climb down from this Earth Release Wall."
Satoru pointed to the ground beneath their feet.
The three people and one dog once again looked down, feeling as if they were about to jump.
But reason suppressed this urge.
"This... we'll fall to our deaths, won't we?" Inuzuka Hana said.
Woof woof~
Haiwan also barked excitedly.
The two little ones also nodded continuously.
Satoru formed hand signs, and a small but tall pillar protruded from the center of the Earth Release Wall.
"Alright, let's start with something simple.
Every five minutes, if I determine someone is slacking off, then try my Genjutsu.
I think you probably came to beat me up for this."
Satoru took out a harmonica and said with a smile.
He already roughly knew why the three little ones came to him; wasn't this what he wanted?
Unexpectedly, Kiba hadn't gotten to enjoy it yet, but his older sister had first.
He felt good inside.
He then explained the Chakra control training technique for tree climbing, demonstrated it a few times himself, and told them to climb up the central pillar bit by bit.
Once they were proficient, they could climb down the Earth Release Wall themselves.
Having already led a team, Satoru had experience and knew how to explain things so that Ninja at different stages could understand more easily.
So, the way he explained the techniques was a bit different from when he taught Iruka and the others.
It was more suitable for these unnecessary children.
Gulp!
The three looked at the bandaged face and the harmonica in his hand, swallowing hard.
They remembered Iruka Sensei's technique; this was Iruka Sensei's teacher, so he must be even better.
Thinking of this, all three were scared.
At the same time, they thought, if only they had known, they wouldn't have come to beat him up.
Looking at the tall pillar, the three had no choice but to follow Satoru's instructions and begin practicing.
Because Satoru had compared them to those geniuses earlier, the two boys became much more confident.
They no longer felt despondent, and their motivation seemed to have increased.
Plus, Satoru's threat,
They dared not not do it.
They occasionally fell from the pillar.
Meanwhile, Satoru began practicing music, while also pondering how to integrate the Darkness Technique into his own combat system.
