Turning the Tables
Thinking of the five ninjutsu scrolls Kakashi had just pulled out, his lips twitched even more. "We don't have any ninjutsu for you."
Moke glanced at Tenten, then at Neji Hyuga, and finally fixed his gaze on Rock Lee: "In this world, there are two difficult things. Good teachers are hard to find, and good students are even harder to find."
"???" Tenten Neji Hyuga both looked at Rock Lee.
They weren't stupid; they understood instantly.
They've taken a liking to Rock Lee; they're just incidental. But even if it's incidental, it's still a great thing!
Such guidance from a powerful figure is something you can't even ask for.
"Oh?"
Kakashi looked surprised, glancing at Moke and then at Rock Lee. Thinking about it carefully, Rock Lee's talent in taijutsu was indeed exceptional; there wasn't another like him in the entire Konoha.
This person also revealed that he is not only skilled in swordsmanship, but also in physical combat.
Could it be that he really wants to settle down in Konoha and is even considering taking on apprentices? You know, in this world, all sorts of techniques and secret skills are kept closely guarded secrets.
They are either members of their own clan, their own students, or their own successors.
Just now, agreeing to the exchange could be considered an exchange, but now...
Of course, this is also a gesture of goodwill. He understands this.
"Ah, this..."
Rock Lee was caught in a dilemma. He wanted to learn powerful skills from a strong person like Moke, but he already had a teacher!
This is a rare opportunity.
Kakashi, standing to the side, reminded him, "Such a good thing, why wouldn't you agree... Don't worry about Guy. As your teacher, he'll be happy for you to have the opportunity to learn powerful taijutsu. Just like me... I even traded ninjutsu for a chance to help Naruto improve?"
Upon hearing this, Rock Lee instantly understood.
Just as he was about to speak, Moke interrupted him, "Neji Hyuga and Tenten can come with me to learn a few moves. You should think it over carefully! In my hometown, a teacher for a day is a father for life. So, where we're from, students all call their master 'Master.' And physical techniques can't be taught to outsiders without the master's permission."
"A teacher for a day is a father for life?"
Kakashi's eyes flickered slightly. As for not revealing it to outsiders, he thought it was perfectly normal.
But the saying "one day a teacher, a lifetime a father" is quite interesting.
At this moment, Moke immediately added, "However, if you really want to become my disciple, I will teach you three sets of S-rank physical techniques. As for swordsmanship, that depends on whether you have the talent."
In any world, power is essential.
Moreover, since Moke has already decided to stay in Konoha for the time being, he naturally needs to build up his team. In this way, he can gain a certain status in Konoha. Then, in a special situation, he can step in and turn the tide, saving the entire Konoha.
Then he could establish himself firmly in Konoha and even have a very high degree of influence.
If he gains the approval of elite Jonin like Kakashi Hatake, Kurenai, and Guy, becoming Naruto wouldn't be impossible.
At that point, will Konoha's sealing technique still be a problem?
"Three sets of S-rank physical techniques? And swordsmanship!!!"
Everyone present, including Neji Hyuga, Tenten, Rock Lee, Naruto, and Kakashi, was shocked.
At this moment, Moke immediately added, "You could say they are forbidden-level physical techniques, that's fine too!"
"Ah, this..."
"Why should I?!"
