Chapter 25: Ch. 25. Coercion and inducement of ignorant girls. [2]
At the Ichiraku Ramen Shop, Mizuki brought three brats from team 7 into the house.
Naruto:
- "Old Man Teuchi, I want three bowls of tonkotsu ramen, three big bowls."
He was not polite at all and started yelling as soon as he entered the room.
Mizuki looked at Sasuke and Sakura and asked:
- "What do you two want? Order it."
Sasuke:
- "I want a bowl of pork ribs noodles."
Sakura showed a little coyness:
- "I...I want to lose weight, so forget it."
Mizuki waved his hand:
- "You're here, just have a bowl. You don't have to spend money anyway. Besides, haven't you heard that if you don't eat breakfast, you will lose more weight."
Sakura exclaimed:
- "Ah, is there such a thing?"
Mizuki:
- "Of course. This is my advice to you as an adult. Losing weight cannot be achieved without eating. You need to pay attention to methods. So, order one."
Sakura's stomach growled at the right time, and she was not polite and ordered a bowl.
Soon, the noodles were ready and all four of them started eating.
Mizuki began to ask about Sasuke's training:
- "How are you practicing climbing trees and treading water?"
Sasuke:
- "The tree climbing has been completed. It's just treading water. It can only be done on still water, not moving water."
Naruto on the side came over and asked:
- "What are you talking about? Climbing trees and treading water. Mizuki-Sensei, you teach Sasuke how to practice, but you don't teach me. This is unfair. Both of us are your disciples."
Mizuki smiled and said:
- "It's a control method to improve chakra control. You don't need it."
Naruto's eyes lit up and he said:
- "Mizuki-Sensei, is there anything else you can teach me? For example, ninjutsu, secret techniques, etc."
Mizuki said:
- "Don't worry, I will teach you later. You have just graduated now, so you should adapt to the life of a ninja first."
Each apprentice only has three opportunities to be rewarded each month, so he has to wait until next month to teach Naruto something.
Mizuki himself didn't have many things to offer, so he had to save his money.
The three of them, the master and the apprentice, were chatting animatedly, and Sakura on the side couldn't even interrupt if she wanted to.
Finally, everyone was full and ready to leave.
Mizuki asked Sakura to stay:
- "Sakura, please wait a moment."
Sakura wanted to go after Sasuke, but Mizuki had just treated her to a bowl of noodles and now told herself that if she walked away, she would be somewhat disrespectful.
Sakura:
- "Teacher Mizuki, is there anything else?"
Mizuki:
- "Do you like Sasuke very much?"
Sakura blushed and said calmly:
- "Te...teacher, you...why are you asking this?"
Mizuki said bluntly:
- "Give up, you are not suitable."
Sakura's face turned pale.
Mizuki continued:
- "As a member of the Uchiha clan, Sasuke's potential is beyond your comparison. He will definitely stand at the pinnacle of the ninja world in the future, and you are just an ordinary civilian."
- "The one who can stand with Sasuke in the future will either be a daimyo princess or a powerful and famous female ninja."
- "Besides, he has a blood feud. If you follow him, you will only drag him down."
- "Don't you feel it? There is only hatred in his heart, not you at all."
The three words "without you" echoed in Sakura's mind for a long time.
Mizuki thought "sin" in his heart.
These few words really hit a girl like Sakura too hard.
Sakura's face turned even paler. She bit her lip and said firmly:
- "No, I will work hard, I will become stronger, and I promise not to hold him back."
Mizuki shook his head:
- "It's too difficult. You have no blood limit, no Family Hidden Techniques, and you don't even have a decent ninjutsu. No matter how hard you try, it won't help."
His words completely shattered Sakura's thoughts.
Sakura turned her head and looked at Sasuke's retreating back, her eyes filled with despair.
At this moment, Mizuki changed the subject:
- "But there are methods."
Sakura's desperate eyes suddenly lit up. She looked up at Mizuki and asked anxiously:
- "Instructor Mizuki, what is the method?"
Mizuki smiled and said:
- "It's very simple. I'll be become your Sensei and I can make you stronger."
The first reaction in Sakura's mind was:
- "You are just a chunin, a trash assistant in a ninja school, not even as good as Iruka-sensei, can you make me stronger?"
Mizuki:
- "What, don't you believe it? Do you think my strength is low and I am not qualified to be your Sensei?"
Sakura remained silent, which was equivalent to acquiescence.
Mizuki was not annoyed and said with a smile:
- "You don't believe me, but you must believe Sasuke's vision."
- "Of course, you don't have to believe Sasuke, but in that case, you and Sasuke really have no chance at all."
Upon hearing this, Sakura hurriedly said:
- "No, I believe Sasuke-kun."
- "But I don't know you at all, so it would be wrong to rush to become your disciple."
Mizuki snorted coldly in his heart:
- "this little girl doesn't fly like a hawk when she sees a rabbit."
Mizuki:
- "What are your chakra attributes?"
Sakura was confused:
- "What is chakra attribute?"
Mizuki explained, then took out a chakra test paper:
- "Test it!"
Sakura took the test strip and injected chakra into it. The next moment, the chakra test paper was wetted and then shattered.
Mizuki:
- "Chakra with two attributes, Earth and Water, is just right."
Mizuki took out the vest pocket [Earth-Style: Earth Wall] scroll given to him by Sandaime and said:
- "Let me become to your Sensei. This [Earth-Style: Earth Wall] scroll is my apprenticeship gift to you."
Sakura breathed heavily and stared at the scroll:
- "I really want!"
-But.."
- "It can be seen from today's events that Sandaime seems to have a problem with him. Will it be affected if I become his disciple?"
She was weighing.
Mizuki didn't push her. For this reason, if Sakura still didn't agree, then he wouldn't force it.
With so many people in Konoha, it's not like he have to accept Sakura.
At this time, Sakura was struggling in her heart.
But soon, she glanced in the direction Sasuke left, and then her eyes became firm.
Mizuki's coercion and inducement finally paid off.
Sakura:
- "Sensei!"
