Chapter 11: Ch 11 : Goodbye Sanji
Tenma's eyes swayed. He looked confused.
But soon, glimmers returned to his eyes. It felt like he had discovered something.
That's right. There was no way this test was about defeating Sanji.
Even getting a hit on Sanji with his Observation Haki was already too much of a reach for the current Tenma.
As long as his performance was deemed satisfactory by Sanji, he would graduate.
At this time, when Tenma was busy with his own thoughts, Sanji had already sat next to him, litting his cigarette.
*Poof*
He inhaled the cigarette in one breath before letting it go into the air. As he watched Tenma with a face full of a smirk.
" Brat, did you think you have failed?"
" I…"
Looking at Tenma's embarrassed face, Sanji knew that he had hit the bullseye and soon broke into laughter.
" Hahahahahah… silly brat. Want to defeat me? You are still a few decades too early."
" ….. "
Tenma's words were stuck in his throat. He could only watch Sanji laugh to his heart's content. After all, what he said was indeed correct.
" *Sigh* Silly brat."
After he finished his laugh, Sanji suddenly got up. He stood up right in front of Tenma, his eyes looking at the sun.
" Students losing to the teacher at his first try, wasn't this a tradition from the Dinosaurus age? From the start. The true aim of the exam was never meant for you to defeat me.
" Rather, it is to see just how much you have grown under my tutelage."
" And to be honest. Seeing you grow so far was a pride of mine."
" The first time I came here, to be honest, I felt like teaching you were such a hassle. You were slow to learn at the start, and were very bratty. But now, I could say proudly that I have taught you well."
Sanji looked back with a smile.
The wind blew, and the setting sun made this scene a lot more dramatic than it should be.
Yet, for some reason, Tenma has a very bad feeling.
And Tenma's feeling was right. The next thing Sanji said something, it was this:
" Well. Since I have said what I wanted, it's time for us to say goodbye."
Said Sanji, inhaling the cigarette while his body started to disappear from the Naruto world. His eyes though, seemed to look satisfied, and he did not have any regrets left.
To be honest, Tenma knew this moment would come sooner or later.
The system had told him that once he graduated from a teacher, he would be assigned to a new teacher. But time flew without him noticing. And now, it was already time to say goodbye.
' Would we meet again?'
' Do you really need to leave?'
' There's still a lot that I wanted to learn from you.'
There were a lot of things that came to his mind. But words seemed to be stuck in his throat.
And in the end, all he could say was:
" Yeah.. See you again, Sensei." Said Tenma with a smile.
Since his Sensei would be leaving with a sense of accomplishment, Tenma would not say something that would ruin this moment.
Sanji heard Tenma's words and stopped for a bit. But then he seemed to realize something, as he just nodded and never turned back again.
" Sure, I'll miss you too. My stupid student."
And just like that, Tenma's first tutelage session under Sanji ended, and he would soon be assigned to a new teacher.
. . . . . . . . .
The following day.
Today should be Tenma's first day as a Genin. An instructor should be assigned for each Genin team. Yet, for some reason, Tenma didn't feel excited at all.
After the matter with Sanji yesterday, Tenma still felt a bit lost.
Furthermore, the system didn't seem to help at all.
[ The first tutelage session has ended. Please wait a while for the system to assign the host a new teacher.]
After that moment, the system was in this state and seemed to freeze.
Tenma was still dazing around, on his own thought, when the instructor came and brought the students out one by one.
And without him realizing it, he was the only one left that had not yet gotten a Jonin instructor.
' Hmm.. wait! Since then, was the room this empty?'
After the last Jonin brought Asuma and Kurenai away, there was no one else left in the room.
Tenma was left alone and could only wait for his Jonin instructor.
Two hours passed, and there was no sign of the teacher.
Tenma's patience was already declining, and he was ready to ask for a brawl with the teacher anytime he came.
*Creak*
At this moment, the door was pushed open slightly. And a figure walked in.
Tenma was ready to kick the guy's ass.
But when he saw the appearance of the figure, he immediately became confused.
Because different from everyone else, this one didn't wear the usual Konoha green jacket.
But rather, he was wearing a Blue short-sleeved scrub top and pants, with white coat, and a mask on his face.
To make it even worse, the guy seemed to have a bad temper. When he saw Tenma was sitting still doing nothing, he immediately glared at Tenma.
" Hey, you there! What are you doing slacking around? Come and quickly follow me, I have no time to spend playing around with you!" Said the guy before he slammed the door and left in a hurry.
Only at this time did Tenma realize there was indeed that incident last night.
' Ah.. so this is it..'
Yup, last night Tenma was already informed about his roles and Instructor by Danzo. But maybe because he was still in a daze, he didn't really pay much attention to it.
And now, his negligence had made his instructor pissed off, and Tenma had no other choice but to quickly go and follow his instructor.
