Chapter 68 Tsunade: This is my first time too!
The next day.
As the morning mist dissipated, Uchiha Ike leisurely arrived at the back forest of Konoha.
He thought he was early, but when he arrived, he found out that he was the last team member to arrive.
Kurenai Yuhi was already sitting on a large rock, meditating, and it had clearly been some time.
Kakashi arrived at the gathering point ahead of time and took out a small book to read.
Except for Tsunade.
Uchiha Ike looked around and finally caught a glimpse of the familiar gold under a locust tree.
"You're late!"
Tsunade stepped out from behind the tree, pointed at Uchiha Ike, and sneered.
Last time she arrived the latest, so today she wants to take the rights of those who arrive first and bully the late students.
"Impossible." Uchiha Ike's expression was unusually calm. "I set off exactly on time, and both the route and speed were the same as yesterday. It's impossible for me to be late."
"Oh, oh, is that so?" Tsunade nodded knowingly. "That sounds pretty impressive..."
Uchiha Ike proudly raised his chin.
He can instantly turn off the alarm clock upon hearing it, spend two minutes brushing his teeth, washing his face, and changing clothes, and arrive at the company at the last minute... These are the superpowers he has developed over years of being a corporate slave.
Kakashi glanced at Uchiha Ike speechlessly.
What's there to be proud of?
"So," Kakashi decided to steer the conversation back on track, "what are we going to do today?"
Hearing the sound, Kurenai opened her eyes, ending her meditation. She leaped to their side and quietly awaited Tsunade's reply.
"Good question!" Tsunade blinked her bright almond-shaped eyes and said, "But I don't know either."
"..." Kakashi's expression stiffened slightly, and he felt his temperature rise a little.
Kurenai Yuhi was also completely bewildered: "You don't know??"
Uchiha Ike didn't react much.
After this period of contact, he had become mentally prepared for Tsunade's unreliability.
"Yeah, that's right." Seeing the two bewildered faces, Tsunade nodded and said matter-of-factly, "This is your first time as a team member, and it's my first time as an instructor. Why should I know something you don't?"
Kakashi frowned deeply: "I heard that before each official gathering, the instructors conduct specialized training..."
"Oh, you mean that?" Tsunade's lips curled down, then she shrugged, looking like a lazy bum. "I didn't listen."
"Hoo..." Kakashi closed his dead fish eyes and exhaled a heavy breath.
He felt his blood pressure was about to explode.
First, Uchiha Ike, who had a problem with his brain circuits, became his teammate, and then Tsunade, who knew nothing, came to be his instructor.
How come this squad is full of geniuses?
Seeing Kakashi's almost broken state, Tsunade seemed a little embarrassed, touching her face and saying, "Then why don't you tell me first, what do instructors usually do?"
"Don't worry, I can do anything that other teachers can do."
She patted her chest forcefully, causing a surge of waves.
With this size, it might not be very convenient during combat, right?
Uchiha Ike glanced at it critically.
But I didn't understand, so I took another look.
Kurenai pursed her lips, pondering as she said, "Generally speaking, it should be Tsunade-sensei who guides our training and helps us develop teamwork..."
"That makes sense." Tsunade nodded in deep agreement. "Then let's have a fight."
Kurenai was completely bewildered, and slightly opened her mouth to ask Tsunade, "Huh?"
"Since I'm going to guide your training, I need to understand your actual situation first," Tsunade explained matter-of-factly. "Otherwise, how will I know which direction each of you should develop in?"
Everyone has different talents and strengths. The choices of playing to one's strengths and avoiding one's weaknesses are worlds apart. Every ninja must think and practice before they can find the right path for themselves.
Uchiha Ike nodded slightly, looking at Kakashi and Kurenai Yuhi, and saw a hint of approval in their eyes.
Although she was not a trained instructor, Tsunade did come up with a good method based on her own training experience.
It can only be said that as one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, this blonde woman's abilities are still quite impressive.
"Then it's decided." Seeing that the three had no objections, Tsunade clapped her hands and said, "In order to understand your situation, I won't hold back too much this time. You'd better go all out."
Her expression gradually turned serious: "You have two minutes, then the test will begin!"
#
Two minutes later.
Uchiha Ike and the other two followed Tsunade to the open space from yesterday.
Looking at the three team members who were full of energy and relaxed, Tsunade nodded to herself.
She deliberately gave them only two minutes, just to see what they would do.
Two minutes is definitely not enough for a brainstorming session; that's something even a child could figure out.
Even so, she still saw many ninjas on the battlefield who, when time was running out, would choose to compress the details to discuss tactics.
The consequence of doing this is that the planned tactics will not only fail to work, but will also restrict everyone's actions, resulting in a waste of effort.
Moreover, while you're discussing with your teammates, the opponents are also thinking of countermeasures. If they're better at it than you, then you're at a complete disadvantage.
In this situation, the best approach is to act according to circumstances and leave the rest to mutual understanding.
For example, when the three legendary Sannin of Konoha encountered an emergency, Jiraiya would take the lead in breaking through from the front, Orochimaru would provide cover from the side, and she would be responsible for healing and guarding against surprise attacks.
So, what did Uchiha Ike and his group do?
When she announced that there were two minutes left, Uchiha Ike and Kakashi sat cross-legged on the spot, closed their eyes, and adjusted their state.
Even Kurenai Yuhi immediately sat down to adjust her breathing.
Very decisive.
In the limited time available, eliminate all uncertainties and face your opponent in your best condition.
This decisiveness often reflects confidence in one's own abilities, which made Tsunade even more curious about Uchiha Ike.
Kakashi is Sakumo Hatake's son, and even she, who is often away from home, has heard of him. He is probably the most outstanding of the three, so it is understandable that she did this.
However, she had read Uchiha Ike's information many times. He was considered quite good among commoners, but rather mediocre compared to a prestigious ninja clan like the Uchiha.
But he was even more decisive than a genius like Kakashi.
Could he possibly bring me some kind of surprise?
Tsunade lowered her eyes slightly and quickly formed hand seals.
A barrier similar to yesterday expanded infinitely from her palm, covering most of the back forest.
"I will set up this barrier for every training session from now on, so your information will never be leaked."
She glanced at the three of them, her gaze lingering slightly on Uchiha Ike, her rosy lips curving upwards slightly.
"Even that old man won't do."
