บท 28: Becoming a Jonin
In fact, becoming a Jonin does not necessarily mean becoming a teacher.
Being a Jonin is simply a job, indicating that one has the ability to lead a team of newly graduated Genin on missions.
There is no mandatory requirement for Jonin to teach Genin, but this depends on a detailed analysis of specific situations.
Most Jonin develop a sense of responsibility towards their Genin during missions and thus teach them their skills, which actually benefits mission execution.
However, it is uncommon for a Jonin to treat Genin as students from the outset.
There is a reason why Shikaku initially said that the three people in front of him were his students.
This is because the identities of these three individuals are quite special.
Uchiha Shintaro is the most dazzling genius in Konoha and the hope of the Uchiha Clan, so he naturally needs Shikaku to take him seriously.
Kurenai Yuhi is the only daughter of Kurenai Shinku. Shinku is Shikaku's senior Jonin. He is an instructor of Genin in Konoha, so he naturally has to take special care of his senior's daughter.
Sarutobi Asuma is even more significant. His father is the professor of the ninja world, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Shikaku sighed inwardly: 'Truly troublesome. None of these three are easy to handle.'
However, as a Jonin, he wouldn't easily reveal his inner thoughts.
So Shikaku added, "Self-introductions should include your likes and skills, so you can get along better."
Shintaro was the first to speak: "My name is Uchiha Shintaro. I like eating barbecue and sweets. Fighting, hunting, and playing the shamisen are my three main joys in life. I am good at many things, and I can do a bit of everything."
He had introduced himself this way when he entered school.
Then Kurenai spoke second, "My name is Yuhi Kurenai. As for food, I prefer seafood, especially octopus. I dislike cakes because they taste too greasy. I am good at Genjutsu."
Finally, it was Asuma's turn, "My surname is Sarutobi and my given name is Asuma. What I like... I don't want to say. I am good at wind and fire attributes."
Shikaku glanced at Asuma. It was clear that Asuma was in a bad mood, and their relationships weren't hard to see. Shintaro and Kurenai were obviously very close, while Asuma seemed a bit awkward around them.
However, Shikaku didn't care about these details. He believed that after some time, the three people in front of him would get along well, or at least they would be much more harmonious. After all, human relationships aren't limited to romantic love, and some emotions are usually hidden after one matures.
Shikaku now mainly analyzed the personality characteristics of the three people in front of him based on their few words during self-introduction.
'Uchiha Shintaro is mature and steady beyond his peers, but he has a kind of arrogance and madness in his heart. He is truly an outstanding young man.'
'Yuhi Kurenai, she appears to be a good girl on the surface, but in fact, she is not as simple as she looks.'
"Sarutobi Asuma, the young master of the Hokage family, has developed a difficult character. Fortunately, he is kind-hearted. He should be able to improve himself in the future."
The Nara Clan is rich in ninjas with high IQ, and Shikaku is the leader of the Nara Clan. His ability to recognize people is very accurate.
"Then it's my turn to introduce myself."
"My name is Nara Shikaku. I like smoking and drinking. I like everything my wife makes, and I don't dare not like it. My hobby is playing shogi, and I am good at the secret arts of the Nara Clan."
The corner of Shintaro's mouth slightly lifted, and he thought: 'Is a Jonin also afraid of his wife? But the secret techniques of the clan are indeed intriguing. Techniques that can be passed down from generation to generation within a clan won't be weak.'
This clearly piqued his interest in the secret techniques mentioned by Shikaku, as he had never copied them.
At that time, he mimicked the Hyuga Clan's Gentle Fist with his Six Eyes. He was only afraid of being discovered, so he didn't dare use it fully, but it could still be integrated into his taijutsu. A great benefit for enhancing his strength.
Shikaku obviously didn't know that the young man in front of him was already obsessed with his secret techniques. He slowly said, "As usual, I will conduct an assessment of you. The assessment method is a real combat exercise, but it's already late, so let's fight another day."
The group agreed on the time and place for the next day and then returned to their respective homes.
❀❀❀
The next day, Shintaro first went to Yuhi's house, then went to the agreed place with Kurenai.
Asuma arrived alone, slightly later than the two of them, but before the appointed time.
Shikaku arrived at the agreed time and said, "You are punctual. I like that."
It was noon, and the training ground was empty, perfect for real combat.
Shikaku got straight to the point and began to explain the rules of the exercise.
"Your mission this time is a protection type."
As he spoke, he took out a small scarecrow from his pocket. Its craftsmanship was rough, and it looked like he had spent a few minutes randomly stabbing it.
Shikaku narrated the background of the mission seriously: "This is your client, Sakamoto Ichiro. He is a well-known wealthy businessman in the Land of Fire. This time, he went to the Land of Thunder alone to attend a meeting. Since there are many enemies, he came to Konoha to commission a protection mission, and the three of you will take on this mission."
Shintaro listened carefully to the background made up by Shikaku with a serious expression on his face.
Initially, Kurenai thought Shikaku's overly serious attitude was somewhat funny, but Shintaro's seriousness changed her attitude toward the exercise.
Asuma always felt it was just an exercise and didn't need such detailed background setting.
Shikaku handed the scarecrow in his hand to Shintaro and continued, "Uchiha Shintaro, the captain of the three-person team, is currently responsible for the client's personal protection."
"You have arrived in the Land of Thunder, just a few hundred meters from the agreed town to complete the task." Shikaku pointed to a forest in the middle of the training ground and said, "Through that forest, you can see a river. Cross the river, and that's your destination."
"It should be noted that the Land of Thunder has many gorges and mountains. There are towering mountains on both sides of the forest in front of you. Since the client is afraid of heights, we can't take him around the forest on either side."
"Current intelligence indicates that there may be enemies in the forest, so extreme caution is required when passing through."
"Now the client feels tired and requests a 15-minute rest. After 15 minutes, we will immediately depart to escort the client. Reaching the destination is considered a success."
After Shikaku finished speaking, he walked into the forest and disappeared, leaving Shintaro and the others waiting silently.
