Chapter 54: Physical Training Must Be Well Practiced (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

Friday morning, in the Class 1, Grade 1 classroom at Ninja Academy.

The students were discussing how to approach their Medical Ninja class later.

“Should we do what we did last time?” one student asked.

“Not today. According to what Teacher Muzuki said yesterday, Medical Ninja definitely exaggerated our actions in class to Teacher Muzuki,” Izumo Kamizuki deduced.

“Given Teacher Muzuki’s personality, he might even help us all the way and come to supervise during the Medical Ninja class.”

“I’m really fed up with Medical Ninja. It’s the first time I’ve heard of a teacher reporting students,” Kotetsu Hagane grumbled.

Not only did he report them, but he also added his own spin, which was even more speechless.

“Today, let’s give Teacher Muzuki some face and not try to make him quit,” Izumo Kamizuki said.

The students felt that Izumo Kamizuki made a lot of sense and decided to treat the Medical Ninja class like Muzuki’s class.

“This Medical Ninja is really annoying,” Anko grumbled, looking upset.

His poor teaching of physical prowess led to her being criticized by Muzuki, and he even reported bad things about her to Teacher Muzuki.

The students in Class 1 all nodded in agreement. Tanimura Toshihiro’s actions successfully caused their good impression of him to plummet.

After the bell rang, Tanimura Toshihiro entered the classroom.

Seeing the students sitting quietly in their seats without speaking, Tanimura Toshihiro breathed a sigh of relief.

But he didn’t lower his guard, because in the last class, the students hadn’t shown such strong aggression at first.

“Everyone, let’s go to the playground and run three laps to warm up,” Tanimura Toshihiro said with a low cough.

The students all followed Tanimura Toshihiro’s instructions, went downstairs to the playground, and started running. No one discussed Tanimura Toshihiro.

After running, Tanimura Toshihiro began teaching physical prowess routines. After teaching them twice, he let the students practice freely.

During this time, not a single student spoke ill of Tanimura Toshihiro. The calmness made Tanimura Toshihiro feel as if this class and the last class were not the same group of students.

“I really must treat Teacher Habsheng to a drink,” Tanimura Toshihiro thought, thanking Muzuki.

He knew what caused all this change; it must have been Muzuki who intervened, otherwise the students’ behavior wouldn’t have been so different.

Just then, Muzuki passed by the playground as Tanimura Toshihiro had requested.

Muzuki greeted Tanimura Toshihiro and stayed on the playground for a little while.

At the end of class, Izumo Kamizuki said triumphantly, “I was right, wasn’t I? Teacher Muzuki was bound to come.”

“So, we won’t take action anymore?” one student asked, unwillingly.

The more Muzuki helped Tanimura Toshihiro like this, the more annoyed they became with Tanimura Toshihiro.

“Of course not. Teacher Muzuki isn’t free every day. We can continue our actions in the next class,” Izumo Kamizuki said.

…

In Class 2, Grade 4, Rin Nohara looked at Obito, who was scratching his head and doing problems beside her, and asked worriedly:

“Obito, what’s wrong with you lately? You seem so diligent, studying whenever you have time.”

Although studying so diligently was a good thing, Obito’s sudden passion for theory made Rin Nohara a little worried.

Hearing Rin Nohara’s words, Obito’s pen paused, and he felt like crying.

Was he diligent and passionate about studying? No, this was the bitter fruit of not practicing his physical prowess well!

Doing problems in installments came with a price. For example, what was originally ten problems might become eleven if done in installments.

This meant that although Obito didn’t have to do a lot in one day, he had to do problems every day.

What was even more fatal was that training happened every day, which meant he was accumulating new problems every day and constantly doing them in installments.

But if he had to do them all at once, he couldn’t. He felt it would be very painful and would affect his cultivation.

“Because everyone’s grades are improving, I can’t fall behind either,” Obito said, forcing a stiff smile onto his face.

He certainly wouldn’t reveal the embarrassing reason of being punished with problems due to poor physical prowess.

“It’s wonderful that you think that way. You’ve grown so much all of a sudden,” Rin Nohara said with a relieved smile.

From his late enrollment, Rin Nohara had always looked after Obito like her own younger brother.

Seeing Obito now ranked among the top in practical combat for his grade, and his theory also starting to pass, Rin Nohara was truly very happy.

“Haha, is that so?” Obito heard Rin Nohara’s praise, and his originally stiff smile was like withered grass receiving water, quickly becoming natural again.

With the encouragement of Rin Nohara’s praise, Obito’s speed in doing problems even increased by a few points, and he even felt he could pay off tomorrow’s installments early.

“It’s time for a holiday again. Obito, what are you planning to do this weekend?” Rin Nohara asked.

“Wait, is today already Friday?” Cold sweat broke out on Obito’s forehead. These past few days, he had lost track of time due to physical prowess training and various problems.

“Yes, after this class, we’ll be on holiday. Aren’t you happy, Obito?” Rin Nohara asked with a smile.

After receiving Rin Nohara’s affirmative answer, Obito couldn’t help but feel his vision go black.

From Monday to Friday, they only needed to train from after school until before sunset.

But the weekend was different; on the weekend, they trained from morning until sunset.

A large amount of training time meant more battles with Might Guy, and more battles meant more problems.

Obito felt as if he could see countless problems and test papers surging towards him, engulfing him.

“Obito, what’s wrong? You look a bit pale. Do you want me to take you to the infirmary?” Rin Nohara asked, seeing Obito’s distressed expression.

“Nothing, I’m just too happy about the holiday,” Obito said, forcing a smile.

“Yes, I’m very happy. Training for so long during the holiday will greatly improve my strength, and then I’ll get first place in the whole school and receive Rin’s admiring gaze.” Obito had already begun to hypnotize himself in his mind.

“Promise me, Rin, you must practice your physical prowess well!” Obito couldn’t help but say.

“Mm, I know. Physical prowess is very important.” Rin Nohara nodded, not comprehending the pain in Obito’s words.

After school, Obito went to the training ground in the South Border Forest.

Might Guy had arrived before Obito and was already exercising.

The two exchanged glances, both seeing the desire to win in the other’s eyes.

Both were well aware of what the weekend meant for them.

This was no laughing matter; a slight misstep would lead to countless problems.

“If only I had the Sharingan, I could definitely do it!” For the first time, Obito so desperately wanted to awaken the Uchiha Clan’s Bloodline Limit.

The Sharingan possessed powerful dynamic vision, allowing one to easily see through an enemy’s movements.

He had a premonition that after this weekend, the problems he would have to do could be directly divided into installments until the end of the semester.

“I absolutely cannot let that happen!” Obito punched the training dummy hard.

On the other side, Might Guy was also silently lifting giant rocks and doing squats to train his thigh muscles.

He not only didn’t want to do problems in installments but also wanted to get first place in his grade.

Muzuki smiled with satisfaction, seeing both of them training with such motivation.

If they continued training in this state, in a month, Hyuga Homura would be no match for them.
