Chapter 11 Just a test, as long as you have the skills

After circling the third training ground, Tatsuma and Minato both lowered their speeds in a tacit understanding, changing from sprinting to jogging to ease their breathing. The watermelon-headed young man slowed down for a beat, and then he also reacted and started jogging.

After another round of the third training ground, the three of them stopped. Minato and Tatsuma both looked at the uncle next to them who didn't even sweat much. Minato even said in amazement:

"Ninja-sama, your taijutsu must be very powerful, right?"

The first time he heard someone calling him Ninja-sama, Matt Dai was stunned for a moment, then scratched his watermelon head in embarrassment and said:

"Ahaha~ I'm just a genin. I don't have much talent. I can't learn ninjutsu, so I can only exercise more. Don't call me sir, just call me Matt Dai!"

Tatsuma also looked at this man who was one of the representatives of Konoha genin and taught him the self-restraint of Metkai who almost kicked him out of the finale.

The so-called ninja is a person who can endure things that ordinary people cannot endure, and Matt Dai, who has implemented self-discipline throughout his life, is undoubtedly one of the best representatives of ninjas.

But Metadai is not as powerful as the future Metakai as some people have boasted, but he just can't meet a better opponent. In Tatsuma's view, the seven Ninja Swordsmen were beaten down to only three.

, maybe this is the limit of wear.

This can be seen from the time when Metkai was a child. It is not that the father and son have never exercised together. During a lap, Metaka fell down from exhaustion when he reached the 1,500th lap.

However, Metkai, who was still a child, completed the feat of five thousand laps, and Dai only practiced physical arts. That was because he could only practice physical arts, while Kai only chose to specialize in physical arts.

Kai is a person who possesses the two chakra properties of wind and thunder, and can directly increase his chakra capacity. It can be said that Kai abandoned other paths in order to implement his father's self-restraint and inherit his ninja way and dream.

Of course, both Metadai and Metakai are extremely powerful ninjas compared to Tatsuma, who is somewhat inferior to even the current "genin" in strength.

Therefore, facing this strange uncle, Tatsuma also said with a bright smile: "Uncle Dai, you are the most diligent ninja I have ever seen. I often see you in the Hokage Building."

Before Tatsuma could finish speaking, he stopped because he saw Matt Dai who was stiff and almost petrified. After a while, Dai said leisurely: "Uncle? But I'm only 18 years old."

18 years old??? This is 18 years old?

Minato and Tatsuma both had big question marks on their heads. Looking at Matt Dai, who had thick eyebrows, big eyes, a face full of vicissitudes of life, and even thick stubble, they fell into silence.

After being silent for a while, Tatsuma also suddenly thought that Dai was 35 years old and died in the Third Ninja War, so he is now 18 years old. It is quite reasonable.

"It turns out that practicing Taijutsu can make people mature faster? Minato, it seems we will have to exercise more in the future!"

Finally, Tatsuma, who couldn't stand this weird silence, broke the embarrassment. After all, he was the one who initiated this incident. After hearing this, Minato nodded quickly and said:

"Yes, only when you become mature can you be trustworthy!"

"You...did you really mean...this?"

Dai suddenly looked at the two of them with tears streaming down his face, and then said very guiltily: "I thought you said I was old, but it seems that I haven't implemented youth thoroughly enough! I actually doubt youth!

It’s agreed that I’ll run a hundred laps around the training ground tonight before going to bed. If I can’t finish it, I’ll do five thousand finger push-ups!”

After saying this, Mattei ignored Minato and Tatsuma and ran on his own, continuing to shed sweat and blood under the night sky.

Watching Dai leaving in the dust, Tatsuma looked at the speed talent that had exceeded 1,000 points, looked at Minato, and said: "Minato, you go back first, I want to practice more tonight."

"Is it to catch up with Brother Dai? As expected of you, Chenma! Count me in, I will last longer than you!"

Seeing Minato actually using his own lines in reverse, Tatsuma showed that contagious smile and started running, chasing after Dai's back.

Under the night sky, there were two more boys who were equally mischievous.

As a result, during the final exam the next day, Minato and Tatsuma arrived at the ninja school with each other's support, with dark circles, blood-red eyes, and shaky steps.

Minato's image is actually pretty good, but Tatsuma's image is even more difficult to describe at a glance. His jiraibaki hair, because he hasn't washed it, is now swollen like a fashionable afro in the eyes of old ladies. This is jiraibaki's trouble!

"You two."

Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Sarutobi Aura opened his mouth and asked: "Can I still take the exam? Do I want to take a break first, arrange you to other classes, and then take the exam in the afternoon?"

"I can do it! But although Minato's talent is very good, we should take the exam in the afternoon, right?"

Tatsuma, who has always wanted to be strong in his life, declined Sarutobi Aura's proposal. After hearing Tatsuma's words, Minato, who had already lost two rounds last night, gritted his teeth, and his desire to win was also revealed, and he said:

"It's okay, teacher, I can do it too! And my grades will be better than Tatsuma!"

If it was a normal state, Minato, who was so angry at this moment, might have said something bold about becoming the class leader, but his current state was so bad that he could only say he was better than Tatsuma.

Hepu looked at the two students. He knew that Tatsuma had a strong desire to win. Before he spoke, he thought that Tatsuma would reject his proposal, but he didn't expect that Minato, a good boy, would be led astray.

But he still respected the students' choice and asked them to wait for the exam. When they came to the waiting area, they saw a person who was in a similar situation to them-Nara Shikaku.

"Hey~ Shikaku, did you train all night last night?"

Sitting next to Shikaku, Tatsuma looked at Shikaku who was recovering from a serious illness and asked. Shikaku weakly replied: "I found a book of Endgame last night and played chess all night long."

"Has it been solved yet?"

Seeing Lu Jiu's expression that he was worse off than dead, Minato asked curiously. Hearing this, Lu Jiu's face turned completely gloomy, and even revealed a paleness only found in corpses. After a while, he regained his vitality.

muttered:

"Give me one more day, give me one more day, and I'll figure it out right away. Why do we need to take an exam? It's a waste of time."

Tatsuma looked at Minato, who probably didn't know that he was murderous, and then looked at Shikaku, and said, "Why don't you apply to take the exam again in the afternoon?"

"Want to waste another afternoon?"

Shikaku rolled his eyes and said, Tatsuma twitched his lips and said his mantra: "As expected of you."

In the first round of the final exam, it was still ninja projectile, but the distance was extended to ten meters, and the optional ninja tool became a kunai. Shuriken was a must, and a thousand books were optional, which was a bonus.

Soon it was Shikaku's turn, but Shikaku stepped forward and used Jiraiya's same ninja technique, the throw-all-out technique, but none of them hit the target. Under the eyes of Sarutobi Hepura who wanted to kill, he returned.

Tatsuma sat down next to him.

"Tatsuma! Minato! You two have to behave well."

Sarutobi Aura gritted his teeth and looked at Tatsuma and Minato. Tatsuma smiled slightly, deliberately showing off his arrogance, and said, "It's just a projection of a ninja tool, as long as you have hands!"

But when he picked up the kunai and held it hard, his right hand cramped instantly. He also spread it to the ground, covered his right hand with his left hand, and shouted in a hissing voice: "Ah! It hurts, it hurts~"
