Yahiko smiled. "But he still died at your hands, which means you are stronger than him."
This was a good point, and Torifu agreed with it. "Of course. The more important reason is that I have partners. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made it back that time." Then Torifu looked at Yahiko and Konan. "So you two should also make some friends. You don't need too many, just a few close ones. That way, you can help each other and walk on the path of a ninja more easily."
Although they didn't know how to make friends yet, they still agreed. "Okay, Sensei, we will."
With that, the few days of teaching were completed, and it was time to go home. But what about all the ice blocks? Torifu really didn't know how to deal with them. Should he melt them with fire? But they would just turn back into water, which still couldn't be dealt with.
Just as he was starting to feel a little anxious, he suddenly remembered his Cloud Release and couldn't help but smack himself on the head. How could he forget his own jutsu? He must be a bit muddled.
Torifu took Yahiko and Konan to the edge of the training ground and then landed on the ice.
"Cloud Release: Reverse Crane's Cry Scattering Flower Jutsu."
The moment Torifu's palm touched the ice, a powerful surge of cloud energy swept across the entire training ground. For a moment, it enveloped all the villagers. Then, several loud cranes' cries were heard, and three cloud cranes flew out from within the clouds. Gradually, the cloud energy inside the training ground also disappeared.
When the villagers looked at the training ground again, they found that it was empty. Torifu had already taken Yahiko and Konan home while the fog was still thick. If he had been caught by the villagers, it would have taken him a long time to get away.
"You two, do you now have a better understanding of what you need to learn in the future?"
The two children nodded. Konan, in particular, was more confident about her future after seeing the power that paper could have. But she knew that to reach her Sensei's level, she had to put in an effort far beyond what was normal. Konan didn't think there was anything wrong with that. To succeed, you had to work harder. How else could you easily surpass others? Talent only got you so far, but hard work would be with you for your entire life.
"Yahiko, you also saw that any kind of jutsu has infinite potential. Study hard, and your future is very bright."
Yahiko nodded. "Okay, Sensei! I will!"
Afterward, Torifu let them go to practice on their own.
Not long after, Amado came out of his room. "What happened? Why did it suddenly get so loud in the village just now? And now it's quiet again."
Torifu saw that he looked a little sleepy. It seemed he had stayed up late again last night? But he had said he was going to rest for a while.
"I just took Yahiko and Konan to the training ground to demonstrate some jutsu. There were a lot of villagers watching, so it got a little lively."
Amado understood the situation. It turned out that such a small matter had disturbed his nice dream. But he had gotten some rest, and he felt much better.
"So, what were the results? Did the two kids learn anything?"
Torifu looked at Amado helplessly. "I told you it was just a demonstration. I even used an S-rank jutsu at the end. How could he learn that?"
Okay, Amado had misunderstood. He had thought that Torifu had gone to the training ground to teach.
"I haven't even talked to you yet. Why are you so tired again? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Amado waved his hand guiltily. "No, no. I just played a little late. I didn't stay up all night."
Looking at him, Torifu didn't believe a word he said. "Forget it, I won't say anything more. You can manage your own rest time, but I still suggest you get your sleep schedule in order."
Amado nodded. "Okay, big brother, I know. But to be honest, I've gotten used to a certain routine from doing experiments every day. It's really hard to change all at once. I'll take it slow."
What he said was true, and it seemed that he could only take it slow, just as he said.
"By the way, when you're done with your break, I'll give you a few new blueprints for electrical appliances. See if you can make them."
When he heard about the blueprints for electrical appliances, Amado's ears perked up. "You got more? What are they? Let me see."
Torifu shook his head. "Not yet. Wait until your vacation is over. I still have to think about which one to give you."
Amado was a little helpless. His big brother was a little stubborn, but he also knew that he was doing this for his own good. But his favorite thing to do was make electrical appliances, mainly because they were so useful, and the villagers liked them. Another reason was that the core of these appliances was relatively simple. Amado could constantly assemble and learn until he could create an electrical appliance on his own. He wanted to truly create and invent, not just use Torifu's blueprints.
Only then would he be a true inventor. Right now, he just thought of himself as someone who assembled things from blueprints.
But Torifu thought that Amado was very capable. After all, if these things were given to Torifu, he wouldn't even be able to understand the blueprints, let alone build them. The blueprints would be useless. So in this area, he had to rely on Amado.
"For the next few days, you should rest well. After your vacation is over, even if you want to rest, I won't let you."
This made Amado get goosebumps. It felt like a black-hearted boss was about to skin an employee alive. It sent a chill down his spine.
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. But I still hope to have some vacations. Otherwise, it's too cruel."
Torifu spread his hands. "That all depends on your work efficiency."
After that, Torifu went back to lying in his rocking chair and basking in the sun.
The events of today had caused quite a stir in Konoha. People were discussing what had happened at the training ground in every corner of the village. Guessing the Hokage's strength seemed to have become a competition among the men. Everyone believed they understood the Hokage better. As expected, once men reached middle age, they would automatically become experts in various fields.
Even the jutsu Torifu used were being analyzed eloquently, even though they were just ordinary villagers who didn't even know how to use jutsu or the hand signs. They were just copying Torifu clapping his hands... But this didn't stop their discussions. Although everyone knew they were bragging, very few people called each other out. Each little group was very harmonious, and everyone was happy and relaxed.
It seemed that the events of today would be frequently brought up for some time to come.
