Wok Shadow Ninja

Chapter 63 Training

Shikamaru slightly frowned: "It's not worth much in total, why are you picking up these things?"

"You don't understand!" Ino waved her hand: "This is my way of dispelling the gloom in my heart, it only works for me! You guys rest well, don't mind me!"

Shikamaru tilted his head and pouted, muttering something about "women being such a hassle."

Ino wandered through the dilapidated mountain stronghold.

Gold coins? Collect them.

Pearls? Oh, they look quite shiny, collect them.

Paper money issued by the Land of Fire? All stolen goods, collect them!

After a thorough search, Ino even found a whole box of gold bars, very standard in size and style, definitely not something the bandits could have smelted themselves.

Is this normal? She's never been a bandit, so she doesn't know if this is normal, but no matter, collect it all!

She needs money, a lot of money!

To create a big pot, she even planned to hire Kakuzu to stir up trouble, now she lacks nothing but money!

It's only right to take the gold that comes to hand.

The miscellaneous items were given to Shikamaru and Naruto as souvenirs, while the gold, gems, silver, and paper money she kept for herself.

The group escorted the village chief's granddaughter down the mountain, received the completion receipt for the mission, and then handed over the captured bandits to the local authorities for imprisonment, likely to be sentenced to hard labor, and Ino paid no further attention to the bandit leader.

They rested in the village for a day before returning to Konoha to report the mission.

A week passed, and the quiet little mountain village welcomed another group of outsiders.

They wore black robes and black hoods, appearing quite mysterious, and after some inquiries, the leading man was furious: "What? The bucky gang was wiped out by Konoha ninjas? Damn Konoha! How dare they mess with the Black Hoe family! We must go back and tell the boss, the family's gold business cannot be disrupted!"

After joining Team 10, Ino's student life was completely over.

A ninja must not only know ninjutsu but also learn a multitude of skills.

Kakashi appears steady, but due to his experiences in childhood and youth, many of his missions were primarily assassinations.

Asuma is completely different from Kakashi, having served as a guardian ninja for the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, and with the Third Hokage's various overt and covert care, his missions often involved protecting important people.

As his subordinates, Ino and the others had to learn how to protect mission targets.

During the bandit extermination mission, they got so caught up in the fight that they forgot about the village chief's granddaughter, which was a lesson; if the granddaughter had died, their mission would have been a failure, no matter how many bandits they killed.

This time, they were just lucky.

The mission target had no combat ability, so how should they protect him? Start with Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet? The enemy might be killed, but the mission target could also be washed away.

Asuma's teaching to them was to run! First, escape with the mission target, that's the most important thing, get to a safe place, and then consider killing the enemy.

"We are ninjas, not samurai, during a mission, the safety of the mission target is the top priority." Asuma raised a finger: "Well, suppose the mission target is the Daimyo's wife, how would you escape with the mission target?"

Fatty Choji was eating snacks on the side, he didn't need to worry about such brainy matters.

Ino and Shikamaru each frowned in thought.

Running through the trees like a ninja, carrying the Daimyo's wife on their back, definitely wouldn't work, ordinary people don't have chakra, their bodies can't withstand such treatment.

"A carriage?" Ino tried to say.

Shikamaru corrected her: "Wrong, it should be a donkey cart."

Ino was dumbfounded: "A donkey cart?!"

This world has horses, but not just in the Land of Fire, the horses of the entire world are no good, short, poor stamina, weak explosive power, and most importantly, they have a bad temper, often kicking or even biting people, the horses here are no good, so Shikamaru suggested using a donkey.

The next day, Ino and the other two started playing "donkey cart drifting" on the training ground.

"Turn, turn! Turn quickly, damn it, ah ! Save me!" For the first time in her life, Ino was driving a donkey cart.

The donkey, under her whipping, ran very fast, but the cart was destroyed and the donkey died quickly, the donkey cart eventually crashed into a large rock, and Ino used a substitution technique at the last moment to avoid disaster.

Choji was the best at donkey cart drifting, the donkeys liked Choji, Shikamaru with his feeding experience was second, and Ino's level was the worst, actually it's not that she was bad, but the donkeys were a bit afraid of her, perhaps they felt her underworld aura was too strong?

Donkey cart drifting had to be learned, poison identification had to be learned, disguise, infiltration, many skills didn't need to be mastered, but at least they had to know how to use them, basically the whole set of training a spy, all needed to be learned by Ino and the others.

After the bandit extermination mission, Asuma started special training for Team 10, according to his original intention, this team was fiercely competitive, practicing water release, secret techniques, taijutsu, wow! If one didn't know better, they'd think you were about to go to the battlefield, to participate in the ninja world war, just graduated, is there a need to be so intense?

He didn't train like this when he was young.

The same competitiveness was happening in Team 8, Hinata, Kiba, and Shino were all working hard, each practicing diligently, not a single one slacking off!

Under the influence of this atmosphere, Kurenai and Asuma also felt embarrassed to slack off, with the younger generation working so hard, should the two adults just stroll around the streets every day? Is that appropriate?

This batch of genin didn't need special training at all.

But the Third Hokage strongly requested, vaguely mentioning the Chunin Exams half a year later, so he had to obey orders.

Asuma, skilled in fire release, became Ino's training partner.

Asuma wasn't at the Kage level, but he was definitely an elite jonin, with very balanced abilities in all aspects, no weaknesses, during the Konoha Crush, Asuma fought enemy ninjas, truly one punch per enemy, incredibly mighty and domineering.

Training ground.

Asuma said: "Are you ready?"

Ino stood by the river: "Asuma-sensei, I'm ready."

The two were ten meters apart, both forming hand seals.

Asuma completed the hand seals first, he took a deep breath, chakra gathering in his throat: "Fire Release: Great Flame Technique!"

This is a hereditary jutsu of the Sarutobi clan, without considering the Sharingan, the Sarutobi clan and the Uchiha clan are about the same in fire release.

"Water Release: Water Wall!"

Ino's hand seals were slightly slower, she had already mastered the B-rank jutsu Water Wall, but like the Water Dragon Bullet, the Second Hokage could simplify the Water Wall's seals to two, she didn't have that ability yet, her fingers turned into a blur, mobilizing the chakra within her body, quickly forming four seals.

The Second Hokage's Water Wall is different from other ninjas' Water Wall, other ninjas draw water from the ground, forming a barrier water screen from bottom to top, the Second's Water Wall is much more flexible, as Ino spat out a water screen containing chakra, the water in the natural environment merged with the water screen, then a silver water belt rapidly rotated around Ino, the torrent forming a barrier with no blind spots, trying to withstand the impact of the Fire Release: Great Flame Technique.
