"Minato, you..."
As soon as these words came out, Shikaku and the others looked at Minato and said in surprise: "I thought you were an honest and good student, but I didn't expect..."
"No! Don't get me wrong!"
Minato saw this and quickly waved his hand and explained: "It's not that I want to skip classes and be a bad student;"
"What the school teaches is too simple. It's such a waste of time to stay here all day!"
"Although I have only been in school for a month, I have already finished learning all the content of the first grade;"
"I even learned the second-grade teaching content through the library!"
"I really don't want to waste my time like this;"
"Also, I was quite touched by what Haruto said before. I really don't want to regret for the rest of my life because I don't have enough strength when I need it one day, and watch my companions pass away;"
"I guess it's the same for you guys, Shikaku?"
"Um!"
After hearing this, Shikaku and the others nodded subconsciously.
"Why don't you join us?"
"With some guidance one day, we will surely be able to improve faster!"
"You may not know this, but he is a super demon! He learns and understands everything quickly;"
"These days, with his help, I feel that I am many times faster than if I were practicing on my own."
"Don't you want to be recognized by your family and become a true genius?"
Minato immediately invited the three again and tempted them.
Haruto heard this and glanced at Minato in surprise.
The look seemed to say, "I didn't expect you to be like this, Minato! You're not honest either!"
Minato noticed the look in Haruto's eyes and gave him a shy smile in return.
Are you kidding me? When did he become a rigid and honest man?
He's a smart guy, isn't he?
Haruto and I will definitely use Shadow Clone to skip classes next.
Since Shikaku and the other two knew about this matter, it would be safer to drag them into the water as well and prevent the secret from leaking.
Otherwise, if the teacher finds out, you will definitely be in trouble.
"Is this true or false?"
After hearing this, Shikaku and the other two looked at Haruto in surprise.
"You'll know after trying it! I'm still willing to communicate with you all and make progress together!"
Haruto nodded with a smile.
"Okay! I'm in!"
Shikaku thought about it for a moment, and under the burning gazes of Haruto and Minato, he looked at Inoichi and Choza. The three of them nodded to each other, and Shikaku was the first to nod in agreement.
"We too!"
Inoichi and Choza followed closely and nodded in agreement.
It's not that they really have such a strong motivation to become stronger.
The main reason is that skipping classes to practice is actually much more interesting than staying in school to attend classes!
"It's settled then! Welcome aboard!"
After hearing this, Haruto and Minato looked at each other, stretched out their hands and put them together, then looked at Shikaku and the other two.
Seeing this, Shikaku and the others also stretched out their hands and put them together to make an agreement.
"Next, the most urgent task is for the three of you to learn and even master the Shadow Clone Technique as soon as possible. Is that okay?"
"Do you need me to teach you the Shadow Clone training method?"
Haruto immediately struck while the iron was hot.
"No need! We can just find family to learn from!"
"If we are willing to learn, they will definitely be willing to teach us!"
Shikaku shook his head.
He didn't want to owe Haruto a favor because of this kind of thing.
It is difficult to repay a debt of favor.
"OK! It's settled then! Once you have mastered the Shadow Clone Technique, we will start this plan!"
"During the next period of time, if you are interested, you can come with us to our secret training base after school and try to practice together."
Haruto extended the invitation again.
"Sure! This is a good opportunity to verify if what Minato said is really that amazing!"
Naturally, Shikaku and the others would not refuse.
With this agreement, the relationship between the few people has been further improved and they have become more familiar with each other.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk! Using Shadow Clone to skip class to practice?"
"That's quite an idea, little brat!"
"I'm looking forward to accepting you as my disciple now!"
At this moment, outside the window, Tsunade was thinking with her arms folded and the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
Apparently, she had been standing there for a while.
Even when she was able to hide and Haruto didn't activate his perception, even Haruto didn't notice it.
..
After school that day,
Haruto brought Minato, Ino-Shika-Chō to the secret training base on the Minami-Kaga River and started today's training.
Not only did he practice on his own, he also sent out a Shadow Clone to guide Minato and others.
He helped them correct some incorrect ways of cultivation. Under his guidance, Shikaku and the others suddenly felt enlightened, and their cultivation efficiency increased several times.
The practice process also became easier.
In particular, in this process, they could feel that they were constantly improving, and this feeling was somewhat fascinating.
Even Shikaku is no exception.
"This kid is quite capable! This kind of experience and guidance ability is not something a 5-year-old kid can possess!"
"Are you extremely insightful?"
All of this was seen by Tsunade, who was also following secretly.
Tsunade couldn't help but look at him with admiration.
She was becoming more and more satisfied and interested in Haruto.
What she didn't know was that Haruto had discovered her through perception since she left school.
Furthermore, Tsunade's identity was also confirmed.
Therefore, these may not be intentionally shown to Tsunade.
Only by improving your own value can you attract Tsunade's attention and be recognized and accepted as his disciple more easily.
Hmm! Haruto obviously didn't know at this time that the Third Hokage and Tsunade had already decided to accept him as their apprentice.
More than an hour later,
As the sky gradually darkened, Haruto released Shadow Clone and clapped his hands, saying, "Alright! It's getting late, let's stop here for today! We'll continue tomorrow!"
"Everyone, try to master the Shadow Clone Technique as soon as possible. That way, we can have more time to practice together and become stronger every day! Work hard!"
"I hope that in the future we can all become independent and legendary ninjas who are famous in the ninja world;"
"Protect Konoha, protect your family, and protect everything you care about."
"Um!"
After hearing this, Shikaku and others felt their blood boiling and nodded in unison.
"Thank you so much, Haruto, for inviting us to join and for guiding us so attentively!"
"I feel like the ninjas you teach are much better than the ones we have at home!"
Shikaku thanked Haruto sincerely.
"Indeed!"
Inoichi also nodded in agreement and thanked Haruto: "Thank you, Haruto, I feel the same way!"
"Your explanations are easier to understand and absorb."
"What a master teacher!"
"Yeah! I agree! Thank you, Haruto!"
Choza also nodded repeatedly to express his approval and gratitude.
"Haha! I'm definitely not comparable to the teachers at your home! They're definitely better than me! Just do it as long as you think it's useful;"
"No need to keep thanking me. We are friends, right? It's only natural for friends to help each other!"
Haruto smiled modestly and waved his hand.
"They may be stronger than you now, but their teaching ability is definitely not as good as yours, at least not suitable for us!"
Shikaku shook his head, then said to Haruto seriously: "You are right, we are friends. If you and Minato need help in the future, don't hide it, just say it;"
"We will try our best to help if we can."
When Choza and Inoichi heard this, they nodded in agreement: "Shikaku is talking about what we mean."
Friends, there should be give and take.
One-sided giving is neither normal nor right.
They are not the kind of people who only know how to take advantage.
In short, they recognized Uchiha Haruto as a friend.
