Chapter 105: Chidori (15)
Chapter 105: Chidori (15)
"Among you, those who have learned and mastered the Body Flicker Technique, step forward." Mu Yue instructed the members of Group A.
Kakashi, Obito, Maito Gai, Asuma, and a few others who had already acquired the Body Flicker Technique stepped out of the line, following Mu Yue's instruction.
"For the last two weeks, in addition to the basic training, we will primarily focus on practicing the Body Flicker Technique," Mu Yue announced the training schedule for the upcoming days.
Addressing those who had already mastered the technique, he said, "You may decide how you wish to spend this time training. You can continue learning from me or practice on your own."
The Body Flicker Technique he intended to teach was not the Shunshin no Jutsu but rather a D-rank taijutsu, the most widely known Body Flicker Technique in Konoha, the very first one he taught to Kakashi.
This technique held a similar status in Konoha as the Three-Step Fist in the Ninja Academy—it was not overly complex but highly practical.
Compared to nature-altered Body Flicker Techniques, like the Water Body Vortex Technique and the Lightning Body Flicker Technique, the advantage of this D-rank taijutsu was its accessibility and ease of learning. It was perfect for genin and chunin to master, and even some jounin still relied on it, making it highly cost-effective.
Mu Yue's previous chakra control and physical training had laid the groundwork for learning the Body Flicker Technique.
The key to using the Body Flicker Technique was to gather chakra in the feet and legs, enhancing the body with chakra to achieve high-speed movement.
There were two critical aspects to this: the body's ability to withstand the stimulation of chakra and the precise control of chakra output.
If the body couldn't withstand the stimulation of chakra during high-speed movement, it would sustain damage, leading to rapid fatigue and a decrease in speed during battles.
The feet were the most challenging part of the body to gather chakra, and it was already difficult to accumulate chakra there, let alone control the output precisely. Using too much chakra would not only waste it but also hinder the technique's execution.
"So, they've all mastered the Body Flicker Technique. No wonder their speed seemed to increase suddenly during battles," Hikage Hibana thought as he watched those who had stepped forward.
Those who had just left were mostly the top performers in the practical tests, either graduates or the strongest students in the Academy.
"I need to master this Body Flicker Technique soon, or I won't stand a chance in the final practical test," Ebisbou thought to himself.
After the events of the previous week, he had lost hope in his prospects at the Ninja Academy and instead turned his focus to his future as a ninja.
He didn't want to be defeated in the first round again when the Third Hokage came to examine their tests. At the very least, he aimed to survive a few rounds this time.
After a brief explanation, Mu Yue began instructing the students.
He first demonstrated the Body Flicker Technique several times, then had the students practice while he guided them from the side.
Whenever a student made a mistake, he would point it out and help them correct it.
Mu Yue didn't just focus on Group A; he usually taught all three groups in a cyclic ABC order, leaving a shadow clone with each group to assist them.
If his original body stayed with one group, the other groups would miss out on the skill-boosting effects of his teachings.
Next, Mu Yue moved on to Group B.
Their training progress lagged behind Group A by about a level. Even after three weeks, some students were still working on their chakra control exercises.
However, this was within Mu Yue's expectations. His requirements for Group B were to complete the chakra control training, strengthen their taijutsu, and improve their Three-Step Fist technique.
If they achieved these goals, they would be more competent than many graduate genin.
Some graduate genin hadn't even mastered tree-climbing, only reaching the level of understanding the Three-Step Fist, and their taijutsu was mediocre at best.
Completing the chakra control training would not only grant them the skills of tree-climbing and water-walking but also lay a foundation for learning more ninjutsu in the future. One could never have too much skill in taijutsu, and proficiency in the Three-Step Fist could yield unexpected results in battles.
After teaching Group B the Three-Step Fist for a while, Mu Yue moved on to Group C.
This group was the slowest in terms of progress and had only recently started their chakra control training.
Their slower pace was also related to the composition of Group C, which consisted of either lower-grade students or average performers from the fourth grade.
These students were either newer to their training, lacked a solid foundation from previous neglect, or simply had inferior talent, resulting in their slower progress.
It wasn't that Mu Yue didn't want to teach them more, but this was the most effective way to instruct them. Forcing Group C to catch up with the pace of Groups A and B would only lead to counterproductive results.
Moreover, after three weeks of learning, some students had already been promoted to Group B.
"The key to climbing trees is to find that subtle amount of chakra that can adhere to the tree and then maintain it," Mu Yue said as he effortlessly walked up a large tree, reciting a technique he had taught countless times.
Although the words were the same, as one progressed through different stages of cultivation, the same words would take on new meanings and insights.
"Hehe, Teacher Mu Yue, I think I've mastered this technique," said Hodo, running swiftly up the tree and then sideways along the branches.
"Good. You've completed the tree-climbing training. Next, practice the Substitute Technique and Transformation Technique, and we'll start water-walking practice this afternoon," Mu Yue nodded.
Hodo had exceptional ninja talent, and her learning speed was among the fastest in all three groups, especially considering she had only been training for one semester. Completing the tree-climbing training so quickly while also juggling other exercises was impressive.
"Okay!" Hodo happily bounced on the tree branches after receiving Mu Yue's acknowledgment.
Having successfully completed her training, Hodo didn't forget her two good brothers, Shen Yue Yunchi and Gang Zitie, who were still tentatively testing the large tree.
"Don't be afraid of falling. Just gather chakra in your palms, close your eyes, and rush forward," Hodo earnestly advised.
Gang Zitie's mouth twitched. If he truly followed Hodo's method, he'd have to be fed for the rest of his life after breaking both his legs, and he was supposed to keep his eyes closed while rushing forward?
"I am personally commended by Teacher Mu Yue for completing the training. You two better recognize your blessings," Hodo said with a mischievous smile, taking sweet revenge for her brothers' previous prank of telling her not to review her lessons.
"Alas, that our two brothers should come to this," Shen Yue Yunchi sighed melodramatically.
"Damn it! If there was a theory exam, how dare that little rascal Hodo be so arrogant!" Gang Zitie lamented the absence of a theoretical exam in the special training; otherwise, Hodo wouldn't be able to get away with sticking her face so close to his and lecturing him without a chance for rebuttal.
Inspired by Hodo's encouragement, Gang Zitie and Shen Yue Yunchi trained even harder.
Mu Yue continued to shuttle between the three groups until the end of class.
[Complete a major lesson]
[Evaluation: A]
[Rewards: Wind Release: Fierce Wind Palm, Lightning Release: Chidori]
Seeing the system's rewards, Mu Yue's mind conjured memories associated with Chidori.
Naruto had his variations of Rasengan, and Sasuke had his Chidori variants; it was a highly versatile jutsu.
