Chapter 73 - Roasted Rabbit
"Why should I feel ashamed? I never asked to be your instructor in the first place."
Kamizuki Hikari curled his lip as he spoke.
He had been assigned this role—it wasn't like he'd volunteered. So why should he feel responsible?
"Alright, let's focus on roasting the rabbits first. Look, Chōji's practically starving!" Shikamaru cut in, stopping Ino before she could say more.
Things had already escalated to this point. If they kept going, it could easily sour the relationship between them.
"Yeah, go ahead. Just save one for me!" Hikari licked his lips as he eyed the plump wild rabbits, then casually waved them off.
"Hmph!"
"You don't want to teach us, yet you still expect us to save you a rabbit? Keep dreaming!" Ino blurted out without hesitation, as always.
"Now, now, Ino, you shouldn't think that way!" Hikari decided to take this opportunity to clear things up, so they wouldn't keep misunderstanding him.
"It's not that I don't want to be your instructor. The reality is that your generation already has a well-established shinobi training system. After graduating from the Academy, it won't be long before you become chūnin. At that point, having a chūnin as your jōnin instructor just doesn't make sense!"
Appeal to reason, persuade with logic.
