Chapter 35 the Smart Asuma

  "No, even if the money is not given to you, it still belongs to our family. What profit did we make?!" Asuma cleared his thoughts and retorted.

  "You are really smart." Makoto praised with a smile.

  After getting praised, Asuma felt something strange.

  "Anyway, go and apply for a resignation from the old man. I don't need a tutor." Asuma walked away only to lay down next to a tree.

  "Since you don't want to be taught by me, then why don't you come with me, and say no to the Third Hokage." Makoto suggested.

  "You think I'm stupid? If I do this, then all the responsibility falls on me." Asuma raised his head slightly and said with pride.

  The Third Hokage didn't care, but Asuma was more afraid of his mother Biwako's anger.

  Makoto nodded secretly in his heart. It was indeed quite silly. As long as he resigns because of Asuma's uncooperative reason, Asuma would still have to take the blame.

  But he had no reason to do that. After all, it was too easy to deal with a nine-year-old Asuma.

  "Why are you so resistant to tutoring?" Makoto did not rush to let Asuma start practicing but continued to chat with Asuma.

  "I told you that you wouldn't understand." Asuma shook his head with a 'everyone is stupid but me' expression on his face.

  "Why wouldn't I understand? It's just that you don't like your father's arrangement." Makoto said directly.

  Based on Asuma's identity and his own personality, it is easy to deduce the reason for Asuma's rebellion.

  Asuma himself is talented. If he is not compared with those perverts, he is considered a genius at the level of Uchiha Sasuke.  The only difference is that one is blessed with cheats and blood while the other isn't.

  Makoto can tell that Asuma has a good foundation.

  But because of his status as the Third Hokage's son, his own efforts may eventually turn into a light sentence, worthy of being the Third Hokage's child.

  Working hard will be taken for granted, while not working hard will be criticized by many people.

  It has always been like this. It would be strange if Asuma's and Hiruzen's father-son relationship could be good.

  After graduating and becoming a ninja, I felt that I had grown up, but the Third Hokage actually hired a tutor. This obviously made Asuma feel that he was completely underestimated.

  "You can only see the surface like this." Asuma still had that expression that you didn't understand until Makoto said the next sentence.

  "Isn't it because even after all the hard training, in the end, you can only get "worthy of being the son of the Hokage"?" Makoto said with a smile.

  Asuma's face changed drastically in an instant, and he looked at Makoto with a somewhat horrified look. This was something he had never said to anyone, and suddenly being pointed out by Makoto made him feel the fear of being forcibly torn apart his body and looking directly into his heart.

  "I don't understand what you're talking about." Asuma was still arrogant.

  But the little hands with no place to rest had exposed his inner panic.

  "If you want to prove yourself, you should accept tutoring, train, and prove yourself with your strength." Makoto continued.

  "After all, you really can't be called outstanding now." Makoto directly denied Asuma's strength.

  First being exposed in his heart, and then being completely denied, Asuma suddenly became anxious and defended:

  "When I was in the ninja school, I was always first in grade. How could I not be considered outstanding?"

  Makoto smiled. "Believe it or not, I can randomly find a student who has just entered the ninja school that can beat you." Asuma laughed angrily.

  "You can find it if you have the ability. If I lose, I will listen to whatever you say in the future." Asuma directly put down his harsh words.

  "Of course, if I win, you will resign," Asuma added.

  "Then it's settled." Makoto smiled.   

  Immediately afterwards, Makoto sent a shadow clone to bring Shisui over.

  Asuma looked at Shisui for a few times and felt that Makoto was not lying. He was indeed the kind of kid who had just entered a ninja school.

  "His name is Uchiha Shisui. He is a student in my class. He is six years old and has just entered the first grade."

  "His name is Sarutobi Asuma. He is a genin who just graduated this year."

  Makoto introduced the two of them to each other.

  "Uchiha Shisui, right? I'll tell you. If you can't do it later, just give up quickly to avoid getting hurt. I won't be merciful," Asuma said.

  "Sarutobi-senpai, I will pay attention." Shisui said seriously.

  "Start!" Makoto wasted no time and immediately announced the start after the two got into position.

  As soon as Makoto finished speaking, Asuma rushed out in an instant, quickly waving his fist and rushing toward Shisui.

  Shisui stepped forward with a calm expression and started a close fight with Asuma.

  The two sides kept going back and forth, but Asuma didn't take advantage due to his taller body.

  Asuma's expression changed. After two moves, he realized that Shisui was not easy, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult.

  Not only was he unable to take advantage, Asuma was even eager to gain an advantage, but Shisui seized the opportunity and kicked him back three meters.

  However, Shisui did not pursue the victory, because when Makoto brought him over, he said he would try to defeat Asuma in all directions.

  The graduated genin was kicked back three meters by a student who had just entered the ninja school during a taijutsu battle. Even though Makoto was the only one watching the battle, Asuma felt that he could not lose face and his face turned red.

  Regardless of why Shisui didn't pursue him, Asuma had only one idea in his mind at the moment, which was to defeat Shisui, save face, and prove himself.

  "Fire Release: The Art of Fire!" Asuma quickly formed a seal, his chakra exploded, and he spit out a large amount of flames.

  "Fire Release: High Fireball Technique!" Shisui also began to form seals, condensing a large amount of chakra in his mouth, then spitting it out in one breath and turning it into flames.

  The two fire escapes collided, and Shisui, who had more flames and stronger fire, quickly overwhelmed Asuma's fire escape, and then continued to rush towards Asuma.

  Asuma was dumbfounded during the Ninjutsu duel. He stayed where he was and watched as Fireball-kun continued to approach him without making any move.

  He was thinking about why, why he would lose to a student who had just entered the ninja school, and why he was he miserably defeated.

  In the physical skills duel, he was kicked out three meters and was directly suppressed at the ninjutsu duel

  Is he really nothing but the Hokage's son? Asuma doubted himself.

  The fireball gradually approached, and Asuma woke up when he felt the heat from the flames. He moved to dodge, but at his speed, he was inevitably affected by the fireball.

  At this time Makoto took action, chakra exploded and quickly formed seals.

  "Water Release: Water Formation Wall!"

  A thick wall of water appeared in front of Asuma, blocking the incoming huge fireball.

  "Teacher..."
