I Can Become Stronger Just By Teaching

Chapter 36: Not As Good as Makoto

Asuma, who was protected by Makoto's water escape, instantly felt that he was really rude before. He was angry with Makoto because of his dissatisfaction with the Third Hokage and never had a good attitude.

As a teacher, Makoto was already very conscientious. Even if he had been uncooperative and resisted Makoto's training, Makoto had skillfully allowed him to complete the training he should have.

Although the process was a bit irritating, it was also for his own good, and he wanted him to complete the training.

"Shisui, you go back first." Looking at Asuma who was in a depressed mood, Makoto knew that it was his turn.

Shisui nodded, didn't say much, turned around, and went back to practice.

Makoto walked in front of Asuma, patted the dust on his body, and helped him tidy up his somewhat messy clothes.

Finally, Makoto squatted on the ground, staying at the same height as Asuma, and looked into Asuma's eyes.

The two looked at each other. Asuma quickly lowered his head and whispered, "Teacher, I'm sorry."

"Tell me, how you are sorry for me?" Makoto asked with a smile.

"I shouldn't have vented my grievances on you." Asuma didn't dare to look at Makoto.

"You're not sorry for me, you're sorry for yourself." Makoto's expression gradually became serious as he spoke.

Makoto asked:

"Does it affect me if you don't train?"

Before Asuma could answer, Makoto continued:

"It doesn't affect me. Even if you don't train, I will keep spending time with you, and I will still receive my salary."

"But you are different. If you train an hour less, your hour will be wasted and you will get nothing."

For such a rebellious teenager, you have to make the other person feel that everything you do is good for him, that you are on his side, and that he is the one who made the mistake.

"I..." Asuma hesitated. The more Makoto spoke, the more he regretted and felt that he was nothing.

How disgusted he was with Makoto's behavior before, the favorability level increased at this moment.

It is no exaggeration to say that Asuma felt that Makoto, a teacher who had only taught him for a few days, was much better than his Hokage father.

Makoto's training requirements were met with disobedience, but Makoto did not scold him, but instead praised him for his strong limbs.

If it were Sarutobi Hiruzen, he would have been so angry that he would have blown his beard, glared at him, and then scolded him.

Before starting to preach, Makoto also helped him dust off his body and tidy up his clothes and even kept eye contact with him considerately.

Thinking of this, Asuma's eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Why can a tutor who has only known him for a few days praise him without hesitation, but when he gets the first prize and returns home, he is always unable to get praise from his parents.

Could it be that Asuma's first place is less valuable than other people's first place?

The more Asuma thought about it, the more he felt aggrieved. He couldn't help but remember that he was defeated by a student who had just entered the ninja school today.

Many emotions accumulated together and finally broke out.

Even though Asuma tried hard to control it, he still let tears flow down drop by drop in the end. He tilted his head, not wanting Makoto to see it.

But how could this be hidden from Makoto, who had been paying attention to Asuma.

Makoto did not act immediately, but waited for a while, waiting for Asuma to vent some emotions through crying, then stood up, patted Asuma on the shoulder, took out a square scarf and handed it to Asuma.

"Hosakawa-sensei...you are so kind." Asuma took the handkerchief and wiped his tears and choked.

"Unlike my parents, they wouldn't be like this..."

"That's when you only remember the bad things they did to you and forget the good things they did to you. Think about it carefully, when you were a child, who took the trouble to put you to sleep, who taught you to walk and run step by step, who checked whether you were covered with a quilt in the middle of the night, who..." Makoto said earnestly.

The Third Hokage may be watching. He can't just train Asuma, but also has to mediate the relationship between father and son.

Asuma was speechless. After Makoto said this, he did have similar memories in his mind.

"You can do it in your free time. Think about it carefully. Let's start the session now. Have you forgotten what you said before?" Makoto saw Asuma's troubled face, so he started talking about training.

"Of course, I haven't forgotten it. From now on, Teacher Makoto, I will practice whatever you tell me to practice. "Asuma said as he wiped his face clean with a handkerchief.

Now Makoto's image in Asuma's heart has changed from a cunning and hateful adult to a perfect teacher who is sincerely good to him.

"Let's continue practicing chakra control this week and practice ninjutsu next week." Makoto briefly explained the training arrangements.

He would definitely not teach Asuma the same way he taught Shisui and the others.

First, Asuma's identity is sensitive, and the Third Hokage will either keep an eye on him or send someone to keep an eye on him. It will cause him to reveal his strength, and Makoto does not want to show his strength beyond the chunin for the time being.

As Makoto expected, Sarutobi Hiruzen from the Hokage Building was using telescope skills to observe how Makoto taught Asuma.

"Hosakawa is indeed very good at teaching children." Seeing Asuma's resistance from the beginning to his respect at the end, Sarutobi Hiruzen affirmed Makoto's strength as a teacher.

He was not too surprised that Makoto could call Shisui.

Because Shisui is a student in Makoto's class, and even students in other classes, like Makoto so much, there is no reason why students in Makoto's own class wouldn't like him.

"But he has such strength from when he first entered school, and his talent even surpasses Kagami." Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of his former teammate Uchiha Kagami.

That was an Uchiha whose will of fire was recognized by the second hokage.

"It seems that we need to pay more attention to him." Sarutobi Hiruzen thought as he picked up his pipe and took a puff.

Shisui is the grandson of Uchiha Kagami, and he is extremely talented. Sarutobi Hiruzen knew of his existence before.

He hopes that Shisui can become an Uchiha like Kagami.

Seeing Asuma starting to practice, Sarutobi Hiruzen canceled the telescope technique and began to deal with official duties.

It wasn't until evening that Hiruzen Sarutobi used his telescope technique to inspect Konoha again, and then left the Hokage Building to go home for dinner.

At the dinner table, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked with a smile:

"Asuma, are you satisfied with your tutor? This is the teacher I carefully selected for you."

Asuma stopped picking up the food, thinking in his mind I can't help but start to recall what happened today.

Before today, Asuma would have answered that Makoto was a bad teacher who lies to his students.

"Teacher Hosakawa is very good. He is much better at teaching than you." Asuma praised Makoto while not forgetting to give Hiruzen a kick.

Although he was enlightened by Makoto, his resentment towards the Third Hokage could not be eliminated in a short time.

"What do you know, you kid? I taught the legendary sannin." Hiruzen Sarutobi puffed his beard and glared when his teaching skills were questioned.

"It's clear that Aunt Tsunade and the others themselves have extraordinary talents." Asuma retorted. Although the Sannin were famous, they all went their own way.

"Sometimes, it is also a sign of wisdom for people to admit their own shortcomings." Asuma said, imitating Makoto's tone.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was left speechless by his good son.

Seeing his old father hesitating to speak, Asuma was in a good mood and felt more energetic about eating.
