Chapter 219 Sea
Chapter 219 Sea
Chu Yi tried several more times, but she still couldn't unleash the ninjutsu, which puzzled her greatly.
"Could she have misremembered?"
"That can't be!"
She looked at Teacher Darui with a puzzled expression.
Darui touched his nose, recalling his own little habit, realizing that this was probably how he had misled his disciple.
“Try forming the hand seals again slowly so I can see,” Darui said, stepping forward.
"Yes, teacher." Chu Yi responded and began to move her hands. When she reached the fourth hand seal, her small hand was suddenly grasped by a large hand.
“This hand seal should be Shen…” Darui grasped her hand, guiding it into the correct hand seal before removing it and saying, “Continue!”
Chu Yi nodded obediently. When it came to the last hand seal, Darui grabbed her hand again and made her form the correct hand seal. "Chu Yi, do the complete hand seal one more time."
"it is good."
As soon as she finished speaking, her hands began to move, chanting "Chen-Wu-Wei-Shen..."
"Lightning Release: Lightning Binding!"
Suddenly, two chains of lightning appeared out of thin air and bound Darui tightly.
"Teacher Darui, look! I did it!" She jumped up with joy.
"Chu Yi, can you take a look at who you tied up?" Darui said somewhat irritably.
Chu Yi then realized what had happened, looking like she had done something wrong, "Undo!"
In an instant, the two lightning chains binding Darui vanished, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at her teacher's current expression.
Just then, a large hand patted her head and said, "Next time, look carefully before using ninjutsu."
What could Darui do? This disciple in front of him looked like he couldn't withstand a single punch from him, and he couldn't bear to hurt such a soft and cute disciple.
Now, it's him who's comforting his disciple.
"Understood, teacher."
"I promise I won't tie you up next time," Chu Yi promised.
But Darui found these words strange; it seemed that wasn't what he meant, yet he couldn't refute them.
"Darui, Lord Raikage is looking for you." At that moment, a voice came from over.
"Okay, I'll be right there," Darui was about to say.
Chu Yi's eyes lit up when she saw hope, and she ran over to her, "hope-senpai..."
When hope saw Chu Yi, a smile appeared on her face. "Chu Yi, you're here too. This is what you asked me to buy last time."
"Here... I'll give it to you now, so you don't have to make another trip."
"Thank you, Senior Xi," Chu Yi said happily as she took the items.
Darui found the two chatting and laughing together an eyesore.
"Chu Yi is usually afraid of people, so why isn't she like that in front of hope?"
"And how did they meet?" A whole host of questions arose in his mind.
"hope, let's go quickly, Lord Raikage must be getting impatient." Darui didn't want the two to continue their conversation, so he put his arm around hope's shoulder and led her away.
He remembered something and reminded her, "Chu Yi, don't practice too late, and don't forget to meet at training ground number 11 tomorrow."
"Understood, teacher." She nodded, glanced at the two who had left, and turned back to continue her cultivation.
"Darui, what are you doing?"
"Lord Raikage asked me to pass on a message to you, but he doesn't need me to come over again. You're doing this on purpose, aren't you!" hope removed Darui's hand from his shoulder, looking utterly annoyed.
"I promised my disciples I would teach them today, so I don't have time to go to your office with you."
"But the village is really something, insisting on assigning us both the status of Jonin instructors."
"You're lucky, at least you have such a well-behaved and cute girl like Chu Yi. I'm miserable, though, because all my kids are naughty and mischievous." hope looked at this with a headache.
"Oh no, I have to go now." hope glanced at the time and hurriedly left.
Darui watched hope's departing figure and walked to the other side.
To prevent his disciple from being poached by hope, he decided to treat Chu Yi even better from now on.
He's really overthinking it. How could a Jonin instructor be changed so easily?
The next morning, Chu Yi arrived at Training Ground No. 11 early.
I came so early mainly because I didn't want to run into anyone on the way.
Two hours before the agreed time, she began practicing in the training ground.
"Chu Yi, are you trying to kill us all? You're already so talented, yet you still train so hard." A familiar voice rang out behind her.
Chu Yi stopped her cultivation upon hearing the sound, lowering her head like a child who had made a mistake. "Mommy, I just really enjoy cultivating."
At this moment, another teammate walked over and said, "Maji, you know Chuyi's personality perfectly well, yet you still say such things."
“Sarii, that’s not what I meant!” Majii scratched his head, unsure how to explain.
Just then, Darui walked over, exactly at the appointed time.
Actually, he arrived earlier than Chu Yi, but he just didn't show up.
It was only then that he realized how diligent Chu Yi was in her cultivation. "Didn't she know that long hours of cultivation every day put a huge strain on the body?"
"No, he needs to find time to take her to the hospital for a check-up. She might have a lot of hidden injuries inside her body."
Darui glanced at her and made a decision in his heart.
"Teacher Darui, what's the mission today? It's not going to be another garbage-collecting or something, is it?" Maji asked impatiently as soon as Darui came over. He was fed up with these low-level missions.
"No, this is a D-rank mission, lasting seven days." Darui picked up the mission scroll, glanced at it, and gave a brief summary.
Upon hearing this, Majiyi instantly perked up.
"Come with me now, or the ship will leave soon," Darui said, turning and walking towards the dock.
Seeing this, the three quickly followed.
The Hidden Cloud Village is indeed different from the Leaf Village. They've been away from the village for so many days, yet they didn't even give any advance notice to prepare anything.
"Is it to hone survival skills?" Chu Yi followed silently at the back with a question in her mind.
On the way to the dock, Darui said as they walked, "This time we're going to the deep sea. When the fishermen are fishing, you'll be there to guard against any large fish monsters that may appear."
"But you don't need to worry. No one has ever seen a large fish monster yet. This is just to make this mission look like a D-rank mission."
Seeing the fear on Chu Yi's face, Darui quickly offered an explanation.
These words did indeed put Chu Yi at ease, but the other two were completely demoralized. They were still planning to make a big splash, but they never expected it to turn out like this.
Fortunately, the location of this mission was relatively far away, which is some consolation!
After all, neither of them had ever left the village, and they still longed for the outside world.
If Chu Yi had a choice, she wouldn't want this identity. Doing missions and such was really annoying; she just wanted to quietly practice ninjutsu.
Of course, if there are new ninjutsu techniques to learn, she doesn't mind interacting with people.
