Chapter 26: Serving as a Jonin

In fact, a jonin is not necessarily a teacher.

Being a jonin is just a position, which means that he is capable of leading a team of recently graduated genin to perform tasks.

There is no mandatory requirement for a jonin to teach genin, but this also requires specific analysis of specific situations.

Most jonin will develop feelings for genin during the mission and pass on their skills, which is actually conducive to the execution of the mission.

However, it is not common for a jonin to treat genin as a student from the beginning.

There is a reason why Nara Shikaku said that the three people in front of him were his students at the beginning.

The reason is that the identities of these three people are really extraordinary.

Uchiha Che is the most dazzling genius of Konoha and the hope of the Uchiha clan, so Nara Shikaku naturally needs to take him seriously.

Yuhi Kurenai is the only daughter of Yuhi Shinku, who is Nara Shikaku's senior jonin. Yuhi Shinku is the instructor of Konoha's junior ninja. As a young jonin, Nara Shikaku once served as Yuhi Shinku's subordinate for a period of time, so he naturally has to take special care of his senior's daughter.

Sarutobi Asuma is even more of a heavyweight. His father is the contemporary Hokage, the professor of the ninja world, and the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, who is known as the "strongest Hokage of all generations."

Nara Shikaku sighed in his heart: "It's really troublesome. These three people are not easy to deal with."

However, as a senior ninja, Nara Shikaku's inner thoughts will naturally not be revealed so easily.

So Nara Shikaku added, "Self-introduction should include your own preferences and specialties, so that you can better run-in."

Uchiha Che took the lead and said: "My name is Uchiha Che. I like to eat barbecue and sugar. Fighting, hunting and shamisen are my three major pleasures in life. I am good at many things. You can say that I know a little bit."

Such a self-introduction, Che had already said when he was transferred to school.

Then the second one, Kurenai Yuhi, spoke up, "My name is Kurenai Yuhi. I like seafood, especially octopus. I hate cakes because they are too greasy. I am good at illusions."

Finally, it was Asuma's turn. Asuma said, "My last name is Sarutobi, my first name is Asuma. I don't want to say what I like. I am good at wind escape and fire escape."

Shikaku glanced at Asuma. It was obvious that Asuma was not in a good mood. It was not difficult to see the relationship between the three people. Che and Kurenai Yuhi were obviously very close, while Asuma looked a little embarrassed next to them.

However, Shikaku did not care about these details. He believed that after a period of running-in, the three people in front of him would have a much better relationship, at least more harmony.

After all, the relationship between people is not only about love between men and women, and some emotions are usually hidden after people mature.

Shikaku is now mainly analyzing the personality characteristics of the three people in front of him from a few words through the self-introduction just now.

"Uchiha Che is more mature and stable than his peers, but he is arrogant and crazy in his bones. He is really an extraordinary boy."

"Yuhi Kurenai, on the surface, is a good girl, but in fact, her heart is not as simple as it seems on the surface."

"Sarutobi Asuma, the young master of the Hokage family, has developed a rebellious character, but fortunately, he is a good boy at heart and should be able to correct it in the future."

The Nara family is rich in high-IQ ninjas, and Nara Shikaku is the best of the Nara family. His ability to judge people is so accurate that it is a bit scary.

"Then it's my turn to introduce myself."

"My name is Nara Shikaku. I like smoking and drinking. I like food as long as it's made by my wife. I dare not dislike it. My hobby is to place the general flag. I am good at the secret technique of the Nara family."

The corners of Che's mouth curled up slightly, thinking: "Is the jonin afraid of his wife? But the family secret technique is indeed interesting. The technique that can be passed down from generation to generation in a family can't be weak."

This obviously aroused interest in the family secret technique mentioned by Nara Shikaku. After all, he has copied secret techniques before.

Back then, he copied the soft fist of the Hyuga clan with a pair of six eyes, but he was afraid of being discovered, so he didn't dare to use it completely, but he could integrate it into his own physical technique, which was very helpful for strengthening his strength.

Nara Shikaku obviously didn't know that the boy in front of him had a crooked mind about his secret technique. He slowly said: "According to convention, I will test you. The method of test is actual combat exercises, but now it's late, we will fight another day."

After agreeing on the time and place for the next day, the few people went back to their homes.

The next day, Che first came to Hong's house, and then went to the agreed place with Hong.

Asuma came alone, a little later than the two, but also before the agreed time.

Nara Shikaku arrived just at the agreed time and said, "You are quite punctual, which I like."

It was morning, and the training ground was empty, just right for actual combat.

Nara Shikaku went straight to the point and began to explain the rules of this exercise.

"Your mission this time is the escort type."

Nara Shikaku said as he took out a small scarecrow from his pocket. The workmanship was rough, and it looked as if he had spent a few minutes making it casually.

Nara Shikaku solemnly described the background of this mission: "This is your client Ichiro Sakamoto. He is a famous wealthy businessman in the Land of Fire. This time he is going to the Land of Lightning alone to attend a meeting. Because he has many enemies, he came to our Konoha to initiate the escort commission, and the three of you will take on the task."

Che listened carefully to the background created by Nara Shikaku with a serious face.

Hong initially thought that Nara Shikaku's attitude was a little too serious and a little funny, but Che was so serious that his attitude towards this exercise became more serious.

Asuma always felt that it was just an exercise, and there was no need to set up such a detailed background.

Shikaku handed the scarecrow in his hand to Che, and then continued: "The captain of the three-person team, Uchiha Che, is currently responsible for protecting the client."

"You have arrived in the territory of the Land of Lightning, only a few hundred meters away from the city where the agreed settlement task is to be completed." Shikaku pointed to a forest in the middle of the training ground and said, "You can see a river through the forest. Cross the river and you will reach your destination."

"It should be noted that there are many canyons and mountains in the Land of Lightning, and there are towering mountains on both sides of the forest in front of you. Since the client is afraid of heights, it is impossible to carry the client around the forest from both sides."

"Current intelligence shows that there may be enemies in the forest, so you need to be very careful when passing through."

"The client is now tired and requires a 15-minute rest. After 15 minutes, we will immediately escort the client to set off. It will be considered a success when reaching the destination."

After Shikaku finished speaking, he went into the woods and disappeared, leaving Che and the other two waiting silently.
