Hokage's Strongest Insect Master

Chapter 448 Gambling (please subscribe!)

Naruto and the others in this Genin, because they are in a peaceful age, have not experienced many life and death struggles.

Therefore, the quality of combat is generally weaker than in the war years.

And because of the relationship of the new generation, Genin like Naruto and others live under the protection of the village.

They are used to the protection of the leader Jōnin and the cooperation with their own people.

As a ninja, experience and consciousness are very inadequate.

What Asuma worries about is the sudden fighting situation. The disciples lose their previous calmness, can’t display their corresponding strength, and are influenced by the environmental situation.

Don’t think that this is a trivial matter. For a ninja, losing a Master who is right in battle is fatal.

This situation did not happen in the original book.

For example, when fighting with No Slash, Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura were frightened by No Slash and almost died.

When Xiao Li graduated for half a year, his feet would still tremble when he went to work.

Many signs indicate that although Naruto’s strength is steadily increasing, it is only strength that has improved.

Everyone knows the truth, but Zhizhen didn’t expect Asuma to be worried about this.

Hong Ye said, “Hinata, you know that she is introverted and didn’t fight much when she went out on mission. Now let her fight and cooperate with people from outside the village. I’m afraid…”

“Although Shikamaru is smart, he is inadequate and does not have enough combat experience…” Asuma added.

“Hey hey hey, wait, seniors.” Zhizhen said in a dumbfounded manner: “You doted your disciples too much, and you worry too much.”

Asuma frowned and said, “Should you not be worried? Shikamaru won’t say anything, Ino and Chōji, isn’t it too early for them to participate in such a battle?”

Hong also helped: “Well, except for your brother, Hinata and Ya, compared to the people in other villages, there are more or less differences. I’m afraid they won’t cooperate and cause trouble. What’s more, they may even be at a loss. Hit confidence.”

Zhizhen was stunned. He finally knew why Konoha Twelve Xiaoqiang was so “self” except for the third, seventh, eighth and tenth classes.

Obviously, they were all “spoiled” by the teacher who led the team.

Thinking about it now, this sign is obvious.

The most obvious example is, how many times did Asuma ask Chōji to eat barbecue? To accompany Shikamaru in training, Chōji also has to eat barbecue.

Naruto, Sasuke, and Little Sakura are also doing their own way.

Hinata was seriously protected by Hong. In the original book, when she and Neji were singled out, when Neji was about to fight hard, everyone ran out.

Not only Guy and Hong, but also Asuma and Kakashi.

All signs indicate that these new generation seedlings are very seriously protected by these Jōnin teachers.

In comparison, Kakashi is pretty good.

The reason for this is not to blame Asuma and Jōnin for their gentleness, but because of Konoha’s gentle style.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with “gentleness”, it’s just that while this kind of tenderness protects the children, it also affects the growth of the children.

Think about it carefully, this also explains why Konoha’s Chūnin exam, more than half, more than 50 teams of candidates are Konoha, and only such five teams entered the semi-finals.

The huge number of people played no role in this exam at all.

The Twelve Xiaoqiang really started to grow, after the Chūnin exam, Orochimaru attacked Konoha.

After this battle, everyone understood their shortcomings more or less, and began to move closer to a true ninja.

Only now, it’s no wonder that Asuma and Red have such concerns.

Their worry is not that they will suffer as they did to Genin in their village like Don’t Cut and Tsujido.

Rather, they are worried that they will not be able to cope with such a fight.

The two waves of people worry about different points, OK.

What is this? Zhizhen was unable to complain.

“It is precisely because of this that they have to fight, seniors.” Zhizhen said helplessly: “As I said, they will face various situations in battle, and they have to learn all kinds of things. Make a choice.”

“Moreover, this is just an exam, not a life-and-death fight. Why are you so worried?”

“I’m not worried, but I’m afraid they can’t stand it.” Asuma said, taking a breath.

“It’s good if you can’t stand it, then they will know the gap between themselves and others, don’t they?” Zhizhen said.

“I’m afraid they can’t stand it.” Asuma said with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhizhen suddenly became angry, and said seriously: “Asuma-senpai, Shikamaru, Ino, Chōji, they are not such fragile guys, don’t underestimate them.”

Asuma was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked towards Zhizhen, only to see Zhizhen’s expression incomparable.

“Senior Asuma, Senior Red, it is because you protect them that their strength grows so slowly.” Zhizhendao.

“What are you talking about?!” Hong Jian Zhizhen’s attitude was bad, and he was immediately angry, and wanted to step forward and say something to Zhizhen.

However, Asuma stopped and said, “You are right, but they are my disciples, and I should protect them.”

“Senior! You…” Shizhen wanted to say more, Kakashi said: “Shizhen, it’s rude.”

Zhizhen heard this and looked at Kakashi. Kakashi shook his head slightly. Zhizhen took a deep breath and bent down slightly: “Sorry, Asuma-senpa, Hong-senpai, I’m excited.”

The red face was a little better, and Asuma smiled and said, “It’s okay, it’s just Zhizhen. You don’t understand their situation, and I don’t want to overprotect them. They are all just children, and they are not in a rush to grow up.”

Zhizhen took a look at Asuma and said, “Does the senior think I did something wrong?”

“Wrong?” Asuma grinned: “That’s not true. It’s a good exercise for them, and it’s also a fun exam. It’s just that you disrupted our teaching plan and let them learn things in advance. That’s it.”

“Not everyone is you, Zhizhen.”

Hearing this, Zhizhen felt a lot more comfortable. He smiled slightly and said, “That’s really sorry, Senior Asuma. However, I still want to tell you that I don’t know Shikamaru and them, but you don’t know their limits. ”

Asuma was taken aback, and gave Zhizhen a surprised look.

Zhizhen said again: “You know my past too, senior. People don’t force it, no one knows where their limits are.”

Asuma smiled lightly and said, “Then you believe Shikamaru can pass the exam?”

“Want to take a gamble?” Zhizhen asked with a smile.

“What are you betting on?” Asuma asked.

“If Shikamaru, Ino, and Chōji perform beyond imagination in the exam, even if I win.” Zhizhen said: “If they are really that fragile, then I will pay all the credit for barbecue Q, senior.”

Asuma’s eyes lit up without hesitation: “Deal!”

“Okay, let’s wait and see!” Zhizhen swears by high-fiving Asuma.

Afterwards, Zhizhen looked at Hong and asked with a smile, “Senior Hong, would you like to take a gamble?”

Hong glanced at Zhizhen, snorted, and said, “Come on.”

“So.” Zhizhen wanted to make a request, and Hong took the initiative to speak: “If you win, I will pay for Asuma’s credit.”

“Oh? Really affectionate.” Zhizhen joked with a smile.

Asuma’s face flushed suddenly, red and a little annoyed, glanced at Zhizhen, and continued: “If I win, then…”

For a while, Hong didn’t think about what he wanted, Zhizhen smiled and said, “If Senior wins, how about I promise Senior’s request to the best of his ability?”

“This is what you said, Zhizhen.” Red said.

“With a word, it’s hard to chase a horse!” Zhizhen agreed with a smile.

“Okay! One word is for sure!” Zhizhen and Red High-five swear!
