Chapter 126: Pearls (Part 2)
The time it takes for a ninja to leave the village and adapt to the battlefield, and for a ninja team to be formed and truly form effective combat power, may be just a blink of an eye, or it may be a goal that can never be achieved.
However, when such a problem was put to Jiraiya, Orochimaru and Tsunade, the transition seemed unusually smooth. Their battlefield adaptability and combat capabilities were on an upward curve.
Because the foundation of these three is so solid, they have no problem in the transition from simple students to skilled assassins... In other words, as long as they stay steady and don't waste time, they can continue to grow.
During this process, as the team leader, Hanyu could not do much. As a "senior" with some battlefield experience, when Jiraiya and the other two arrived on the battlefield, he actually only needed to control a few people and prevent them from being too radical.
Frankly speaking, Hanyu's job as a nanny was much easier than he had originally imagined, and it became easier as time went on.
For several months, the new "Hanyu Team" has been shuttling back and forth across the battlefields of the Rain Country, conducting reconnaissance and fighting at a steady pace, returning to the front-line camps for rest and replenishment, making progress, and then setting off again.
The trio gradually became familiar with the battlefield, and then became adept at handling the situation. Soon, the team's activities were no longer limited to the periphery of the battlefield, and their opponents were no longer just small fry who had infiltrated.
They began to frequently advance towards the heartland of the Rain Country, dealing with the most difficult enemies in the most intense battlefields. The maturity of the team and the increase in combat effectiveness made them act a bit bolder, and recently they have become quite arrogant.
…
At the Konoha front camp, the team had just returned from their last combat mission and was resting and training, summarizing the lessons learned from the last battle, and recuperating from their injuries.
"Jiraiya, be careful. If you hadn't been separated from the team in the battle before, how could we let the enemy escape? How could you be injured? In a battle where life and death can be decided in an instant, why didn't you be more cautious and create some accidents?"
On the training ground, Tsunade was criticizing Jiraiya. Even though the latter had bandages wrapped around his head and body and looked pitiful, these injuries did not arouse Tsunade's sympathy at all, let alone receive any gentle treatment.
What the team calls summarizing experience is often equivalent to teaching Jiraiya a lesson.
Hanyu still stayed at the side of the training ground, watching the three people quarreling, practicing and making continuous progress. After hearing Tsunade's words, he glanced at Jiraiya and thought that Tsunade was right this time. Being disconnected from the team on a battlefield deep in enemy territory and in the midst of a tense battle, listen, is this something a human being would do?
This is totally a suicidal act. Children are still a bit worrying.
"If I had succeeded at that time, the battle could have ended instantly, so my judgment at that time was correct. In order to win, we always have to take some risks. We are ninjas." Jiraiya retorted.
"But you didn't succeed."
Then, Orochimaru's words instantly made it impossible for the conversation to continue.
If you fail to start a team fight, it's just a waste of time, so what's the point of talking about it?
Hanyu smiled and thought that no matter how much Jiraiya liked to jump back and forth, he didn't need to correct him at all, the trio could resolve his problem internally.
Even though Tsunade likes to...beat Jiraiya, to be honest, Orochimaru is the one who can completely defeat him.
Jiraiya is lively, Orochimaru is indifferent; Jiraiya is active, Orochimaru is indifferent; Jiraiya is excited, Orochimaru is indifferent; Jiraiya is extreme, Orochimaru is indifferent...
Many times, Jiraiya was suppressed by Tsunade and Orochimaru. One thing we have to admit is that when facing many new things, whether it is ninjutsu or other things, Orochimaru and Tsunade's learning speed is obviously better than Jiraiya's, so the so-called "tail end" comes from this.
It was because of these things that the two kids had a certain sense of superiority towards Jiraiya. There was nothing they could do about it, after all, Jiraiya was a fast learner and had talent.
However, as a bystander, Hanyu saw it very clearly. Although Jiraiya was a step behind, he would catch up quickly. Then, when facing new tasks again, he would still be a step behind, and then catch up again.
There is a gap between the three of them, but such a gap only appears for a short period of time. Otherwise, Jiraiya would have been left behind in the combat missions of these months.
However, in fact he didn't. Instead, he was very resilient.
Gradually, Hanyu began to like his current task. During battles, he just held the line and watched the three people perform. He did not need to take action himself unless it was absolutely necessary. He was a bit idle, but he could give orders at any time. The key was that he could still get a high salary. Is this wonderful feeling the so-called "leadership"?
If your subordinates are capable, it will be easy for you to be a leader.
Looking up at the time, Hanyu, felt that it was almost time for today, so he said to the three of them, "You three, it's almost time, let's stop today's training."
"Oh, I see, Hanyu."
After hearing Hanyu's instructions, the three stopped their ongoing training, then they simply cleaned up the training ground and prepared to leave.
"The Third Generation has already begun to plan his next big move. He seems to be planning to resolve the war with Rain within the next year."
"I think it's about time. The Rain Country is just struggling to hold on. In fact, they should have collapsed long ago."
"Hanyu, what do you think, will the war end like the Hokage envisioned?"
As they left, the group continued to chat, but the content of their chat had changed... from their own battles to the current battle situation.
Hanyu was a little speechless, and begged the kids not to reveal the next "secret plan" for which there was no sign yet... Although this does not mean that the three little ones have no sense of confidentiality, they just trust Hanyu.
"Don't talk about fighting and killing all the time. In your spare time, you should get more exposure to art to improve your taste in life, or listen to more music like me to cultivate your temperament..." Hanyu said this. No matter what, some characteristics of him have not changed. For example, he doesn't need to take the initiative to explore things that he shouldn't know.
So he changed the subject.
"For example, I have a song called May Rain here, it's very nice, Jiraiya, would you like to listen to it?"
Jiraiya: "…"
I don't know why, or maybe it's just out of an inexplicable, mysterious feeling, Jiraiya didn't want to appreciate Hanyu's music at all.
