I Can Become Stronger Just By Teaching

Chapter 27: What To Do if the Teacher Is Too Cunning

After completing the task of tutoring, Makoto did not return to the southern forest, but went to the house in the main city.

Makoto simply cooked two dishes for dinner and then went out for a walk. After all, friendship cannot wait at home.

Makoto walked for a while and finally met Minato and Kushina in a nearby park.

The two of them were sitting on a park bench and chatting in the evening breeze.

"Hosakawa." Minato greeted after seeing Makoto.

"Are you coming to the park for a walk too?" Minato asked.

'No I just came here to fish.'

Makoto nodded, sat on the chair next to her and said, "I just finished eating, and decided to go for a walk to digest."

"Hosakawa, I heard Minato said you are a teacher at the ninja school?" Kushina asked curiously.

No one in her circle of friends had ever been a ninja school teacher.

"Well, I just joined this year." Makoto replied with a smile.

"You just joined this year, so Hosakawa, you must have led a very strong class." Minato said with some surprise.

Kushina looked at Minato with some confusion.

"Yesterday in the office, the Hokage-sama said that Hosakawa's teaching level was very high, and he wanted to ask Makoto to be Asuma's tutor." Minato explained.

"Hosakawa who just joined the job this year has received such praise. His teaching achievements must be particularly outstanding."

"Wow, did the old man praise you like this?" Kushina was also a little surprised.

Although she had average feelings towards Sarutobi Hiruzen, she still recognized Sarutobi Hiruzen's vision.

"No matter what, it's the students who work hard enough." Makoto said modestly, and then said:

"The Namikaze Jonin is the most powerful. He has become a Jonin at a young age and has become an important fighting force in the village."

"Hey, that's true, our Minato is the strongest." Kushina said with great agreement.

"But I'm also a jounin." Kushina laughed.

Makoto showed a surprised look, and then praised: "The Uzumaki Jonin is also very powerful."

"Hosakawa is really good at talking." Kushina felt more and more pleased with Makoto, if her sister Uchiha Mikoto hadn't already been married. She had to introduce it to Makoto.

Look, what a good man he is, as handsome as Minato and powerful enough to be praised by the old third hokage.

The three chatted for a while, and then Makoto took the lead to say goodbye and leave.

When two young lovers are walking together, it's not a problem if they stay too long. They have to pay attention to moderation and slowly settle down.

...

The next day, Makoto still trained Obito and Might Gai and Shisui until noon, and then went to Sarutobi Hiruzen's house to teach Asuma in the afternoon.

"I'm too tired today and don't want to train." Asuma said directly and sat against the tree, looking like he was getting ready to sleep.

He had secretly made up his mind that no matter how much Makoto and others tried to stimulate him, he would remain unmoved.

"Want to sleep?" Makoto smiled and looked at Asuma.

That smile was gentle and healing, much better than his old man's, but Asuma had a bad feeling.

"Yeah, I didn't sleep well last night, can't I?" Asuma said stiffly.

To Asuma's surprise, Makoto nodded in agreement and said,

"Yes, the sun is just right today and the breeze is not noisy. It is indeed a good weather for sleeping."

Then Makoto stretched and said Sitting on the tree, he said with a relaxed look:

"It's great to be a tutor. I lie down and sleep, and I make a hundred thousand Ryo when I wake up."

After saying that, Makoto closed his eyes and leaned his head against the tree, looking like he was ready to sleep.

"Wait!! What did you say?! One hundred thousand Ryo?!" Asuma's eyes widened instantly and asked Makoto.

"Why are you so noisy? I am trying to sleep." Makoto didn't even open his eyes, looking like he was about to fall asleep.

"Don't sleep yet, say something like one hundred thousand Ryo quickly." Asuma shook Makoto's body.

"What could it be? Of course it's money for your lessons." Makoto opened his eyes and started talking nonsense seriously.

"Do you think I am working for free? Even if the Hokage hires a tutor, he still has to pay. My fees are very high. Giving you lessons is twenty-five thousand Ryo an hour. Teaching four hours a day is of course one hundred thousand Ryo."

"Is your mouth made of gold? It's so expensive!" Asuma was shocked to learn that Makoto could get twenty-five thousand Ryo by staying with him for one hour.

You must know that when he was in school, his monthly pocket money was only 50,000 Ryo, and his pocket money was still quite large.

(100,000 Ryo is about 6,767 dollars).

Makoto only needs to teach him for two hours to get his one month's pocket money!

"You can go to the ninja school and ask about Hosakawa Makoto's name, and then you will know whether it is worth the price." Makoto said calmly.

"But why haven't I heard your name?" Asuma felt as if he was being deceived.

"Because I joined the job after you graduated." Makoto said and closed his eyes again, preparing to sleep.

Seeing Makoto going to sleep again, Asuma felt heartbroken for a moment. This was a tutor worth twenty-five thousand Ryo an hour.

"Stop sleeping, let's start practicing." Asuma shouted quickly, fearing that Makoto would fall asleep and not wake up.

"Didn't you say you didn't sleep well yesterday and were very tired and wanted to sleep? Are you not tired now?" Makoto opened his eyes and looked at Asuma with a smile.

Looking at Makoto's expression, Asuma knew that he had been deceived. This guy didn't sleep at all!

But he had no choice. This was a tutor worth twenty-five thousand Ryo an hour. If Makoto was really allowed to sleep here, he wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

"I'm ready to rest, let's start practicing." Asuma said with a dark face.

He was going to complain to his old mother when he went back. Isn't it a waste of money to hire such an expensive tutor? It's not like there is no jounin teacher.

"Well, today we are still training on chakra control. Today's goal is to survive fifteen minutes on the water." Makoto stood up and smiled.

The training was still the same as yesterday. Asuma was trying hard not to fall into the water, and Makoto released water on the bank to avoid interference.

Today's Asuma is as motivated as yesterday, but yesterday's motivation was to slap his old father in the face, and today's motivation is Makoto's sky-high tutoring fee.

During dinner in the evening, Asuma directly complained to Biwako, saying that Sarutobi Hiruzen spent 25,000 Ryo for an hour of tutoring.

Biwako was also shocked by the sky-high tutoring fee, one hundred thousand Ryo for four hours.

You must know that the reward for some B-level tasks to a whole team is one hundred thousand Ryo.

"Huh? Are you talking about Hosakawa? How is that possible? His tutoring fee is one thousand Ryo per hour." Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile.

"One thousand Ryo?" Asuma looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with suspicion.

"Of course it's one thousand Ryo. Where did you hear about twenty-five thousand Ryo?" Sarutobi Hiruzen confirmed.

Looking at his old father's face, Asuma knew that he had been deceived by Makoto.

"AHHH! DAMNY YOU!! HOSAWKAWA MAKOTO!!" Asuma roared in his heart, then turned his grief and anger into appetite and ate a big meal, thinking that he would not fall into Makoto's tricks next week no matter what.
