Chapter 149: Hi Professional—
Chapter 149: Hi Professional—
It's the second month already and Team 6 is feeling great! Chakra, by itself, is a great equalizer in this world but more than the girls, only Kai noticed how prominently their bodies adapted to the physical exertion caused by daily D-Rank missions.
Instead of choosing a mission this morning, reluctantly, Kai brought his team to an empty training ground one of the many standard plots within Senju Compound. Although Konoha is a 'village,' its size overshadows many major cities of the Land of Fire.
Excitement flickers in the trio's gaze. Even Shizune had grown somewhat out of her despondent shell and her pitch-black pupils held an equal intensity of anticipation if not more in those dark orbs.
"It's been a month since Team 6 is formed. Before anything, you need to answer one question. If you're correct, I will teach you anything you want and everything you feel you don't need but will be the key to your survival."
Kai looks at the trio with a smile as they gulp simultaneously, "If you get it wrong. I will disband this team."
They blink in surprise but Kai has instilled enough discipline in them that they don't act dramatic but instead settle down slightly. It's still a little bit away from spring but the trio hasn't really taken a shift from their usual attire. It's not because of some strange chakra theory or the fact that stronger bodies don't get affected by cold, no.
Kai never shifts from his casual attire and they didn't either. It's as simple as that. Of the trio, naturally, Konan is the most diligent, Kurenai is the most stubborn, and Shizune, believe it or not, isn't a deadbeat emo questioning those around her and her life after her experiences. Of course, in terms of brutal experiences, Konan would take away the prize... if this was a competition.
As their serious gaze lands on him, Kai questions, "Am I a clone or not?"
The trio instantly looks a little bitter.
After the first lesson on 'observation', Kai has only made it harder for them to note if it's his clone leading them for the day or his original body. Whether they got it right or wrong, Kai would reveal the hints daily and change them. In reality, it also happens to be a good practice for him. His trait and skills alone cannot make a great Shinobi. They help, yes. But Kai sincerely believes that it's also because of his own efforts and ability to apply his skills correctly.
Kurenai would usually take the lead and answer by now but Konan is quick to frown this time and hold the eager genin's wrist before whispering into her ears, "We can't get it wrong at all. Let's discuss."
Although Kurenai looks a little reluctant, she holds herself back and the trio forms a huddle as Kai observes them with amusement clear in his gaze.
"So?" Konan questions Kurenai promptly, "Real or not?"
"Of course, real," Kurenai replies in a tone that somehow attempts to set the bluenette off. Giving the crimson-eyed teammate of hers an annoyed glance, Konan soon looks at Shizune who furrows her brows for a moment and then admits, "I don't know."
"Come on, Shizune, it's so simple. Why would Sensei suddenly make this the final test? It's because he wants to rattle us. Sensei took the first week to go on missions with us and since we are supposed to train, of course, he's the real one."
Her sheer confidence wavers Konan and Shizune for a moment.
"But... what if Sensei knows all that and is trying to use it?" Shizune mutters softly.
This makes Kurenai silent and she reconsiders the situation.
Even Konan had a somewhat hesitant expression.
After a few more seconds of hushed discussion, the girls find that having a clear answer is simply not possible.
Kurenai is quick to fall into a swamp of indecision after her thoughts are countered. Konan, too, feels a wave of hesitation constantly stopping her from coming to a decision. And finally, Shizune is the one questioning Konan's and Kurenai's statements.
Seconds turn into minutes and once the duration touches the ten-minute mark, Kai chuckles and speaks up, "Time's up. Only one of the three of you will step out and answer."
"A tool, or a weapon, is a mindless object wielded by others by professionals. The weapons come into direct contact with the worst of this world... the blood, the gore. But Professionals understand that they need to do this not only to survive but to also grow. It could be financial growth, physical growth, or even gaining more experience. You cannot be devoid of your nature in both cases, but you just have to wait and experience what is easier for you to adapt to A weapon to be wielded, or a Professional who wields the weapon."
"Then what are you, Sensei?" Kurenai questions.
"Oh, no doubt about it, I'm your Sensei." Kai chuckles but he doesn't see the trio smiling. Instead, they throw strange glances in his direction.
Kai frowns seeing this.
'That was a good joke, right?'
It only takes him another moment to realize the hearsay he has committed but Kurenai pouts and delivers a blow so fatal that nobody has ever managed to lay on Kai in this life and the previous one.
"Sensei... aren't you a little too young to have a sense of humor like my dad?" She blinks and frowns cutely.
'Damn you Hatakeeee!'
