Minato waved his hand. "No, no. I'll practice with kunai. I feel like I'm getting better with kunai recently, so I plan to take advantage of this feeling and practice well."
Minato was still a worry-free and smart kid. He wouldn't really train all day. Even when he was more reserved, he would tell Torifu when he was hungry. However, Torifu didn't use him as a comparison. People were different. Minato knew how to adapt, while Yahiko and Konan were more sincere. All three of them had their own strengths. They were all good apprentices of Torifu's, and there was no need to compare them to each other. As long as they continued to develop in their current state, Torifu felt that it was very good.
Night fell quickly. Because the two children had eaten soldier pills earlier, they were completely full now. They probably wouldn't even need to eat breakfast tomorrow morning. After all, this was an adult dose and could sustain an adult's daily needs.
Torifu had originally planned to take them to eat hot pot when he got back. But it seemed there was no chance now. And tomorrow, because he was going to propose to Naori in the evening, he wouldn't have time to take them to eat either. It was a matter of fate. They were simply not meant to eat hot pot.
The night was a little cool, and it was not good for the children to lie here in the wind. Torifu sent them back to their rooms to lie down. He also repeatedly told them not to train like this tomorrow. Yahiko and Konan also knew that they had done something foolish today. They had wanted their Sensei to praise them, but they almost lost their lives instead. They would never dare to do it again.
Torifu went back to his room and went to bed early, preparing to greet the next day in the best possible state.
The next morning, Torifu woke up from his sleep. He looked at the clock on his nightstand. It was around seven o'clock. He had rested quite well. He had thought that he would be awake all night due to nervousness, but it seemed he had worried too much. Not only did he not have insomnia, but he also slept exceptionally soundly.
As Torifu was washing up, he saw a figure constantly moving in the courtyard. It was yellow, so it must be Minato. This kid was even more diligent than Torifu was when he was a child. He got up for morning exercises every morning without fail. However, if he trained by himself like this, it would be difficult for him to notice his own shortcomings. Torifu decided that tomorrow, he would release his Wisdom Puppet to train with Minato in the morning and correct his mistakes. Otherwise, his role as a Sensei would be too incompetent.
After he finished washing up, Torifu pushed open the door and, as usual, lay down in the chair in front of the house. He quietly watched Minato practice, occasionally offering his own suggestions. Minato was also very obedient. When Torifu pointed out his shortcomings, he immediately corrected them. After only a few rounds, his movements became very precise.
Torifu nodded in satisfaction, then started playing with his phone. The Naruto Mobile game, although it had been around for a few years, was still being updated steadily. Torifu had a terminal, and if he wanted to update anything, he just needed to operate on it, and the system would automatically generate it.
Now, the story had progressed to the point where Madara and Hashirama had created Konoha together. In two years, Madara would betray the village. Torifu's parents and grandfather were also a part of this time period when they chose to join Konoha. The game's story also mentioned them, which was a nice easter egg.
New characters were also being produced steadily. After seeking the opinions of the other two Kages, Torifu also made them into characters and added them to the game. This wouldn't expose their strength or jutsu. After all, the skills in the game were fixed, while people could change endlessly, so it wouldn't affect anything. That was why the two Kages were so cooperative. He heard they were also playing the game. However, Torifu wasn't sure what rank they were, but he assumed they weren't low. After all, even a novice like Hashirama had a high rank.
However, the Naruto Mobile game also had a new generation of geniuses. Torifu could now feel some sense of competition when playing the game. Before, it was purely a slaughter, with no gaming experience at all. Now, he could clearly feel that more and more people knew how to play. The main reason was that, although the ninja world had mobile phones now, there was only one mobile game, and they had nothing else to play. Torifu had wanted to see if there were any new games that he could add to the phone, but he hadn't found any yet.
"Big Brother, are you playing a game again?" Minato came to Torifu's side after he finished training and saw that his Sensei's moves were still at their best. After successfully getting a reverse sweep from a 2-0 deficit, Torifu put his phone aside. "Yeah, I play one game every morning. It makes me feel refreshed."
"By the way, why haven't you left yet today?"
Normally, Minato would have already left home by now, but it seemed he had no intention of leaving. Minato's face was a little dark. "Big Brother, I'm on a holiday today."
When Torifu heard this, he immediately picked up his phone and checked. It really was Saturday. "Alright, alright, don't worry about it. You should rest well today. I probably won't be back tonight."
Minato's eyes lit up. "What's up, Big Brother? Are you going to propose to Sister Naori?"
"How did you know, kid?"
Minato chuckled. "I guessed. I just heard you came back very late, and Yahiko and Konan almost died in the courtyard."
Torifu awkwardly scratched his head. What did he mean "almost died in the courtyard"? That sounded so scary. It was just that they were too focused on their training.
Speaking of which, the two protagonists of the story also woke up from their slumber, pushed open the door, and walked out in clean clothes.
"Good morning, Sensei, Minato." Yahiko and Konan said in unison.
Torifu nodded, and Minato enthusiastically returned their greetings.
"Yahiko, Konan, you two need to remember to rest while you train. Don't let what happened yesterday happen again. Make sure you eat lunch."
Yahiko scratched his head. "Don't worry, Sensei. I remember. Yesterday was just an accident."
"I hope so. But I'm not leaving today, so I can take you out to eat something delicious. You can choose the place."
Torifu looked at Yahiko, who immediately said, "I'll listen to Minato."
Wow, he was being so modest. This little guy even understood social etiquette. Who taught him that?
"Didn't you want to eat hot pot yesterday, Yahiko? Let's go eat hot pot."
Yahiko was visibly happy when he heard this, but he held back his laughter and said, "Anything is fine. I'll listen to Minato."
With that, Minato nodded. "Then let's go get hot pot."
