Chapter 63, Joy and Anger.

Watching Jiraiya practicing tree climbing there, Raijin and Tsunade leaned on each other to rest.

After a battle, having used so many Ninjutsu, saying they were exhausted might be a bit exaggerated, but they were indeed a bit tired.

"You all did well this time."

It was at this moment that Sarutobi Hiruzen, with his hands behind his back, leisurely came to Raijin, Tsunade, and the others.

"You guys just graduated, and able to cooperate to kill two Jonin, such an achievement can be said to be the most eye-catching since the establishment of Konohagakure."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat in front of Raijin, Tsunade, and Orochimaru.

After advising Jiraiya, naturally, he had to point out the shortcomings of Raijin and the others.

For a teacher, this is more important than teaching how many Ninjutsu he teach to the disciples.

Upon hearing this, Raijin perked up, chuckled lightly, waiting for Sarutobi Hiruzen's next words, as a Konohagakure Jonin who had experienced a war and had rich combat experience.

No matter how offbeat Sarutobi Hiruzen usually is, his teachings are very precious to Raijin.

"Especially Raijin, who flexibly uses intelligence differences and uses the ability of Sharingan at the right time, such tactics are very good."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a face full of admiration to Raijin and also to Tsunade and Orochimaru.

"Of course, the cooperation between Tsunade and Orochimaru is also very good."

"They performed the appearance of a newly graduated Genin perfectly."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade and Orochimaru laughed a little embarrassingly.

"But, there is still a little deficiency in all of you."

It was not until this moment that Sarutobi Hiruzen got to the point.

Depending on the content of the teaching, the way of teaching is naturally different.

Like Jiraiya, you have to hit him hard, belittle him to a certain extent, let him understand his current situation, and then tell him how to go next.

In this way, Jiraiya will engrave this way out in his heart.

And like Raijin, who has already learned a lot of Ninjutsu, but has some problems with his fighting style in actual combat, you should encourage him first.

Let them know that they are strong, great, and amazing.

Then point out their shortcomings, let Raijin and the others understand that they are indeed good, but they can become better.

In this way, they will improve themselves and develop in a better direction.

This involves a psychological effect, which has nothing to do with talent.

Take Raijin as an example, from a young age, Raijin's performance has been very outstanding, so from a young age, Raijin will hear a lot of praise.

Such praise will make a person indulge in it.

With the hard practice of the past eight years, there is such a silent cost, Raijin does not need encouragement, he will move forward on his own.

Because he can't bear the silent cost he has already paid, and he can't bear the applause and praise that has been around him from childhood to adulthood.

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that although he was just a teacher, he was already a wise teacher!

"First let's talk about Raijin, I remember when I got Raijin's information, the information showed that Raijin has mastered the nature transformation of Lightning Release, but why haven't I seen anything related to Lightning Release, whether it was when grabbing the bell before, or in today's battle?

Of course, Raijin's Fire Release, Water Release, and Earth Release, as well as the application of Genjutsu, are all very proficient, I am just a bit puzzled, a ninja should reasonably use his own advantages, shouldn't he?"

"Hmm..."

Upon hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Raijin fell silent for a moment, then spoke to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"That's right, I have indeed mastered the chakra nature transformation of Lightning Release, but my application of Lightning Release is mainly focused on swordsmanship."

In fact, not only is it focused on swordsmanship, Raijin can even achieve elementalization of himself, stimulate thundercloud discharge through his own discharge, and freely control the shape change of thunder.

But Raijin does not plan to show it too early, he can used it but not necessary, after all, he only needs to wait for another three years, he can step into a peak of Jonin realm, basically apart from Uchiha Madara hidden in the dark, no one can pose a threat to his life.

Raijin doesn't mind getting through these three years.

Moreover, his current performance is already bright enough.

"So?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen continued to ask Raijin upon hearing this.

"Swordsmanship, strictly speaking, is a kind of ninja Taijutsu. Ninja Taijutsu naturally has to engage in close combat with people. But whether it's you, Ishida, or Sakai, whether it's speed or strength, they are all stronger than me, so I chose other ninjutsu."

Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and pondered for a moment before speaking to Raijin.

"Indeed, Ishida and Sakai are both Jonin of Kumogakure, and what they are best at is ninja Taijutsu. You do have a certain gap from them."

Having said this, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly laughed a little embarrassingly.

"But as for me, I'm just simply stronger. If Raijin had chosen to close the distance and confront me in Taijutsu, Raijin might have been the first breakthrough point I would have opened."

Upon hearing this, Raijin pursed his lips and finally just nodded silently.

"Hmm."

"But Raijin doesn't need to be discouraged. In an encounter battle, no one knows what kind of ninja they will encounter. But I believe that in two years, even if Raijin encounters a Jonin of Kumogakure, he can use his own swordsmanship to defeat them."

Sarutobi Hiruzen patted Raijin's shoulder encouragingly.

The current Jonin of Kumogakure can only bully Raijin whose body has not yet developed.

In another two years, when Raijin is fourteen or fifteen, even a Jonin of the level of Mokuton Hito wouldn't necessarily be able to escape from Raijin's hands.

This guy, besides Lightning Release and swordsmanship, other Ninjutsu and Genjutsu are also very proficient.

Especially that Water Release passed down from the Second Generation, it's simply amazing.

"Yes, I will continue to work hard."

Raijin doesn't know how Kakashi achieved Jonin at the age of thirteen.

But in Raijin's view, the two Jonin he faced today, Ninjutsu and Genjutsu may be plain, but their strength and speed are really strong.

In close combat, he really doesn't have full confidence. Since he doesn't have full confidence, then Raijin chooses to use other methods.

If you can't beat it, just drag it.

That's roughly the core idea.

It's definitely impossible to fight desperately.

"And then there's Tsunade. I have to say, Tsunade's monstrous strength is really terrifying. But there's one thing to note, don't use up all your strength every time, save some to deal with the enemy's next actions."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said to Tsunade.

Upon hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Tsunade nodded. Previously, if it weren't for Raijin blocking in front of her, she might have been seriously injured.

It cannot be denied that the moment Raijin stood in front of her, Tsunade was happy.

Because Raijin was willing to block the sword for her, but after the happiness, there was anger.

She was angry at her own incompetence.
