Chapter 44 A Jonin with a Short Temper
Chapter 44 A Jonin with a Short Temper
"Mikoto, you must take this to heart and show him more care in your daily life."
Mikoto Uchiha said impatiently, "Just him? Where are the other two?"
Fugaku Uchiha said matter-of-factly, "You should also pay more attention to that girl, Kurenai Yuhi. Although the Yuhi family isn't considered a major clan, her father, Shinku Yuhi, is quite strong and has influence among the Jonin."
"As for the other one... what's it called again, Nebula?"
Mikoto Uchiha: "Kamizuki Seiun".
Fugaku Uchiha: "Yes, Shingetsu Seiun."
"You can decide for yourself."
Mikoto Uchiha looked at her husband helplessly. He always seemed to be like this, his mind always filled with thoughts of his family, the situation, and power.
Sometimes, she felt that the other person seemed to lack warmth.
Suppressing her complicated feelings, Uchiha Mikoto said softly, "Alright, don't think about it anymore. Leave tomorrow's worries for tomorrow. Let's get some rest today. Go take a shower."
Fugaku Uchiha froze as he took off his coat.
"Ugh~ I'm not going to wash today, I'm too tired."
"Go ahead and take a shower. It doesn't take much effort."
"Um... well... never mind," Fugaku Uchiha stammered. "I'll wash it tomorrow."
"Aren't you going out tomorrow?"
"Then let's wash outside." Fugaku Uchiha pretended to be confused, and then put his half-off coat back on.
"I'm going to check on my son. Itachi is really something, he's so old, and he still keeps insisting on sleeping with his dad."
As he spoke, the man lowered his head.
With a "poof," the candle flame was extinguished.
The volatile gases from the wax struggled for two seconds before finally extinguishing completely.
"Go to sleep early."
"Bang!"
……
"Faster!"
"Push! Push with your legs!"
"Didn't you have breakfast?"
Uchiha training ground.
The three, including Shingetsu Seiun, surrounded and attacked Uchiha Mikoto.
Today, Mikoto Uchiha wasn't wearing her Konoha ninja uniform; she was simply dressed at home.
Cool short-sleeved shirts and long, slender legs encased in athletic pants.
These breathable sports sandals have a few beads embedded in the front opening.
Her composure and speed left the three of them breathless and drenched in sweat.
"A ninja's physical fitness is the foundation of their combat power."
"On the battlefield, good physical fitness and excellent reflexes are your guarantee of survival!"
"Asuma, Nebula, the two of you who will be responsible for the main attack in the team must have quick reaction ability and physical attack skills."
"This way, we can maintain our fighting capacity in the event of an emergency and avoid being easily wiped out!"
"Red! Even though you're a support-type ninja, you still need to improve your reaction time!"
"Otherwise, you will become the team's weakness."
"Mikoto-sensei, I... I will try my best!" Kurenai Yuhi replied haltingly.
Ten minutes later, Kurenai Yuhi exhausted her strength and had to withdraw from the battle.
Shingetsu Seiun and Sarutobi Asuma were left to struggle on.
"Alright, let's stop here for now and take a break."
Mikoto Uchiha stopped what she was doing.
Sarutobi Asuma, who had been trying his best not to lose face in front of Kurenai Yuhi, was relieved and collapsed to the ground, desperately breathing in the oxygen in the air.
The same goes for Shingetsu Seiun. Although his taijutsu and endurance are slightly better than Sarutobi Asuma's, Uchiha Mikoto will give him special attention based on his individual strength, so the result is not much different.
Looking at Uchiha Mikoto, who still seemed unsatisfied, Shingetsu Seiun couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Is this woman crazy?
Why is my training performance so different today compared to yesterday? Was I just faking it all along, and the other person is actually a violent woman?
Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma Sarutobi shared similar thoughts.
They all noticed that Uchiha Mikoto seemed unusually irritable today.
The group took a sip of water and rested for a few minutes. Then, Uchiha Mikoto clapped her hands and said, "Alright, let's do it again!"
"Huh? Misaka-sensei, again?" Sarutobi Asuma cried out in despair.
"Rest a little longer."
Mikoto Uchiha retorted sharply, "Do you think the enemy will let you rest a little longer on the battlefield?"
Sarutobi Asuma was speechless.
Seeing this, Uchiha Mikoto also took a step back: "How about this, you can do it one at a time."
"This way, the other two can have a longer rest period."
"Who goes first?"
Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai were taken aback.
Who goes first?
By myself? No, that's too tiring.
Should we send someone else? It's a bit hard to say.
"I'll do it," said Shingetsu Nebula.
His chakra reserves were more abundant than the other two, and he recovered faster.
Standing in front of Uchiha Mikoto, he put on his gloves and checked them for any damage, in case they broke halfway through the fight. After confirming that everything was in order, he assumed his stance.
"Mikoto-sensei, I'm ready."
Watching Shingetsu Seiun put on his gloves, Uchiha Mikoto suddenly recalled the moment she had locked his hands in a handshake during their previous sparring session. The unforgettable memory resurfaced, and she involuntarily clenched her fists.
For some reason, my displeasure intensified.
With a "whoosh," she touched the ground and lunged forward, her entire body moving like a nimble female leopard as she swiftly approached the Divine Moon Nebula, before unleashing a flurry of punches and kicks.
"Bang bang bang bang!!!!!~"
The two fought fiercely, their blows resounding loudly.
Mikoto Uchiha knew that Shingetsu Seiun's punches and kicks were heavier and stronger than Sarutobi Asuma's. Although she was still far from being able to unleash her full power, she was at least able to unleash her fists and kicks more freely than before.
Under immense pressure, Shenyue Xingyun was struggling to cope and was overwhelmed.
This scene was witnessed by Kurenai Yuhi, who was resting not far away. She was surprised that the opponent's battle seemed to be more intense than Sarutobi Asuma's, and at the same time, she felt a pang of pity.
As a member of a team, it doesn't seem right for the teacher to go crazy and leave the other team to bear the pressure alone.
Unfortunately, her close-combat skills were too poor; she couldn't even withstand Uchiha Mikoto's attacks in place of her opponent, so she looked towards Sarutobi Asuma.
"Asma."
"How's your rest going? Should we take Nebula out? I don't think he can hold on much longer."
Sarutobi Asuma lay unceremoniously under the shade of a tree, replying without even looking up, "Why should I care?"
"Hong, let's take a rest."
"Ms. Mikoto will let us know when it's time to make a change."
Kurenai was not satisfied with Asuma Sarutobi's answer, and was even somewhat disappointed.
The layout is small.
Back when she was in the Ninja Academy, she hadn't thought much of it. In her mind, although Sarutobi Asuma was a bit stubborn and liked to show off in front of her, he was generally a good person.
But just a few days after the team was formed, she discovered that she had seen another side of the other party.
They have bad tempers, get angry easily, and are not cooperative.
She understood why the other party rejected Shingetsu Seiun, but regardless, they were now their teammates. She didn't approve of Sarutobi Asuma's attitude towards his teammates.
In contrast, her attitude towards Shenyue Xingyun has changed a lot.
