Chapter 25: Potential Needs to Be Stimulated Reasonably.
Early Saturday morning, Obito Shisui and the other three began to train according to Makoto's requirements.
Obito first learned the basic moves of Taijutsu from Makoto. After practicing for an hour, Makoto asked Obito to rest, handed Obito a bottle of water, and wiped his sweat.
Obito suddenly felt something bad. Although Makoto was a good teacher, he would not be so considerate under normal circumstances. It was possible to hand him water, and at most he would provide a square towel to wipe sweat.
"Obito, I think you still have a lot of potential that has not been unleashed." Makoto smiled and capped the bottle of water that Obito had not finished drinking and put it on the ground.
"No, no, no, I feel that my potential has been completely stimulated by you, teacher." Obito felt that just after wiping the hot sweat off his forehead, cold sweat broke out again.
"You, you still underestimate yourself." Makoto shook his head and said.
"How about this. When fighting Gai, every time you get hit, you will have one more question to answer during the break."
"This should be able to fully stimulate your potential. Even if it doesn't work, you will have to do too many questions. Theoretical scores can also be improved."
"Teacher, this is not good. If I get hit hundreds of times, it doesn't matter if I do the questions. I'm afraid you will get tired from the questions." Obito looked at Makoto. He said with a thoughtful look.
Obito was also forced to be anxious, and his speaking skills improved in his anxiety.
For Obito, if he was asked to study questions and papers, it would be better to have a passionate fight with Might Gai, which was too torturous.
"Obito, I'm very happy that you are worried about teacher's health." Makoto showed a pleased expression.
Just when Obito thought he was going to survive, Makoto's words changed.
"I guessed that you are such a good boy, so I prepared a lot of questions for you in advance, so you don't have to worry about running out of questions." Makoto took out a stack of test papers with a smile on his face, indicating that there were enough questions.
"Eh? What's with this face? Aren't you satisfied? Wait let me go and bring more." Makoto said with a smile.
"ENOUGH! ENOUGH!!" Obito shook his head wildly and waved his hands. He looked at the pile in Makoto's hands with a crying face.
The sun was clearly shining brightly today, and Makoto's smile was warm, but Obito felt a cold air rushing from the soles of his feet to his forehead.
Makoto's side was blocked, so Obito decided to save the country by taking a curveball. Since he couldn't avoid doing the questions, he should do them less.
Thinking of this, Obito winked at Might Gai and motioned for some water.
Might Gai saw Obito's signal, showed his shining white teeth, and gave Obito a thumbs up with a relaxed smile.
"As for Gai, if you miss the mark once, do fifty questions. If you hit the mark, you will have to do one less question. You can reduce it to forty questions at most." Makoto continued.
Might Gai's expression suddenly changed, and he gave Obito a thumbs up again with a serious expression.
"..." Obito dropped to the ground with a listless face. He could already see a large number of questions coming towards him.
"For the sake of youth, I must try my best to reduce the questions to the minimum!" Might Gai felt that he was already on fire.
Obito didn't want to do the questions, and neither did he.
In the ensuing battle, Might Gai punched hard and chased Obito at 120% of his maximum speed.
Obito, who didn't want to do the questions, also had explosive potential. After being hit more than a dozen times, Obito's steps became much more agile.
Makoto saw that both of them had made such great progress and nodded happily. Isn't there still a lot of potential that has not been stimulated?
When both of them lose their strength, the battle will be over.
Obito was hit more than thirty times and needed to answer more than thirty questions, while Might Gai had to answer only a dozen.
Makoto feels that the effect is very good. If they continues to practice like this, maybe within two months, Hyga Kento will no longer be their opponent.
"It's a pity that Nohara Rin's potential is not good. If Nohara Rin is also accepted as a disciple, it will be easy to stimulate Obito." Makoto thought.
Ofcourse, potential is not absolute. As long as people are still young and work hard with enough will power they could create miracles and keep raise their potentials. There is however a biological limit to humans and that is S. Unless they have a strong bloodline,become a Jinjuriki, master an external power, or use the 8 gates.
The power of the 8 gates is obviously limited to the base power of the user. Dai's 8 gates is definitely much weaker than Gai's.
In fact, there is a better candidate, and that is Kakashi.
Nohara Rin could only stimulate Obito alone. If Kakashi was there, Obito and Might Gai would be stimulated together.
Kakashi's talent is enough, but it's a pity that Kakashi is unlikely to be his student, because Kakashi was promoted to chuunin two years ago.
'I might teach bring Rin in later, but not now.'
Makoto continued to practice with them until noon, and had lunch with the three of them. Finally, leaving two shadow clones behind, Makoto went to the home of the Third Hokage, preparing to start tutoring.
Maybe because he was still at work, Makoto didn't see the figure of Hiruzen Sarutobi. He only saw a middle-aged woman with a single ponytail, who was Hiruzen Sarutobi's wife, Biwako Sarutobi.
"Biwako-sama!" Makoto greeted.
"Are you the Hosakawa-sensei Hiruzen mentioned?" Sarutobi Biwako recalled the appearance described by the Third Hokage and then asked.
Makoto nodded.
"Asuma is waiting for you in the backyard." Sarutobi Biwako pointed out the direction for Makoto, and then reminded:
"Asuma is a bit rebellious, please Hosakawa-sensei, be more considerate, if he is really undisciplined, just tell me."
"I can, but I have some special skills for dealing with rebellious students." Makoto replied with a smile, and then walked in the direction pointed by Sarutobi Biwako.
Walking to the backyard, Makoto saw a child of about nine years old lying against a tree with a piece of grass in his mouth, looking like a rogue.
Makoto gave an appraisal first.
[Name: Sarutobi Asuma]
[Chakra: 1100]
[Potential: A+]
Looking at the potential of A+, Makoto shook his head secretly. If it was an S-, he might be tempted. The potential is one notch lower. Maybe if Asuma breaks into the S. Forget it, Asuma is hiruzen's kid, he can't take him back to his training ground.
Noticing Makoto's arrival, Ausma spat out the grass in his mouth, without standing up, and asked directly:
"Are you the Hosakawa Makoto who is coming to teach me?"
Before Makoto could answer, Asuma asked again He quickly said:
"I said, if you can't let me surpass the old man, then you can just leave. Boring."
Asuma felt very tired of this sh*t. He doesn't want private tutors, damn it! Especially a mere chunin
Just when Asuma was wondering how Makoto would respond, Makoto shook his head and said,
"Of course that's not possible."
"Then just go." Asuma waved his hand and laid down.
He didn't believe that Makoto would just leave like this.
"Okay, I'll leave now and tell Master Biwako that you don't need a tutor." Makoto turned around and prepared to leave.
Seeing that Makoto really looked like he was about to leave, Asuma felt a heavy question mark on his head, why the hell didn't you play according to the routine?
Shouldn't he be trying to persuade him to stop messing around? Why did he just leave?
"Hey, don't leave yet!" Asuma stood up immediately and called Makoto to stop.
The teacher is fed up even before he started teaching. His mother won't let this slide easily.
