Hearing this, Pupil rubbed her temples.
He's too pathetic!!!
This kid!
She couldn't even bring herself to tell him to scram.
Pupil waved her hand weakly, saying, "I don't want your money."
There wasn't much money at all; on the contrary, Pupil felt like giving him money.
"Thank you very much!" As soon as Pupil finished speaking, the young man happily put the money back into his pocket, carefully covering his pocket to make sure the money was secure, then let out a sigh of relief.
"I say you..." Pupil said, "Didn't you receive the Village's relief funds?"
"Yes, but it was gone after I ate my fill," the young man said.
This really is...
The eternal pain of poor Taijutsu practitioners: not having enough money to eat their fill.
"I say, it's about time you gave up, isn't it? This kind of Taijutsu training doesn't have much effect, and you can't even eat your fill," Pupil said.
"But I can't use Ninjutsu or Genjutsu, so all I have left is Taijutsu." Dai was a little dejected, then he said with spirited enthusiasm, "Effort brings hope."
He smiled brightly, showing a set of beautiful white teeth, then gave a thumbs-up and winked at Pupil.
"My youth is never giving up!"
A chill shot straight to the top of Pupil's head. Pupil took a deep breath, and her crossed arms rubbed her goosebump-covered arms.
This guy is really disgusting...
Pupil's mouth twitched.
She was a bit speechless.
"Come here..." Extending a hand, palm up, Pupil beckoned and said, "Let me see your Taijutsu."
"Huh?" Might Duy was stunned, then immediately responded with full energy.
"Oh oh oh oh! I'm coming!"
Immediately, Might Duy assumed an attacking stance.
Pupil raised an eyebrow; she had found it strange earlier, but now she could confirm it.
It was a Taijutsu she had never seen before.
"What is this? This stance," Pupil asked, raising an eyebrow with her arms crossed.
"Konoha Style Taijutsu!"
Dai answered loudly and youthfully.
"Konoha Style?" Pupil asked, "Does Konoha have such a style?"
"It does now! I created it!" Might Duy answered loudly.
Hearing this, Pupil narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "You're good at naming things. Show me."
"Ha!" With a fierce shout, Dai attacked, simultaneously yelling loudly.
"Konoha Hurricane!"
As he rushed forward quickly, Dai squatted down and swept a leg towards Pupil's lower body, targeting her feet.
His Taijutsu looked decent...
But it lacked power.
And...
Pupil stepped back, easily dodging the attack.
This was a continuous technique.
Seeing that his first kick missed, Dai immediately twisted his body and, using the force of the rotation, swung his leg towards Pupil's midsection.
Pupil bent at the waist, dodging the kick aimed at her abdomen.
When his attacking foot landed, Dai, still in front of her, immediately twisted his body again and raised his other leg to sweep at the same spot.
But this time, Pupil didn't dodge. Instead, she closed the distance and pushed Dai.
It was already difficult to maintain balance on one leg, especially with such a wide-ranging twisting movement.
The power of his leg increased with the rotation.
But...
There were flaws everywhere!
Dai, having lost his balance, sat down on the ground with a thud, then looked up at Pupil and said, "You're amazing!"
"For this kind of wide-open fighting style, the only requirement to unleash its power is strength and speed. You don't meet either of these requirements," Pupil said. "Can't you control Chakra?"
This guy was simply attacking with pure physical strength; she saw no flow or application of Chakra.
"My teacher said I wasn't suited to be a Shinobi," Dai said, "But I think he was wrong."
"Your teacher wasn't wrong either," Pupil said, "You really aren't suited to be a Shinobi, although..."
Although the Taijutsu he developed himself was still very crude, it was still commendable.
Pupil didn't continue speaking.
She looked at the young man's stubborn, unyielding eyes.
"Seeing as you won't give up, then keep working hard."
"Tying iron weights to your body is quite useful, and there are plenty of wooden stakes around here, aren't there?"
"Since you only have physical strength to rely on, you might as well maximize that characteristic."
After speaking, Pupil waved her hand and turned to leave, her high ponytail, tied in a single bundle, swaying gracefully behind her head.
"Hey!" Dai called out, looking at Pupil's retreating back, "Can you teach me Taijutsu training again in the future?"
Pupil turned to look at Dai and said, "That depends on how long you can keep it up, Green Frog."
My name is Might Duy!
Looking at Pupil, Dai opened his mouth, but wisely didn't retort.
Green Frog it is, then.
Pupil turned back.
Dai would probably have a hard time even graduating.
No longer thinking about the Green Frog, Pupil walked towards Miki's insect clone in the forest.
