Chapter 569: Guidance and Compensation!
Chapter 569: Guidance and Compensation!
"Great Vulture Strike!"
Tang Ping abruptly unleashed a powerful punch.
Phoenix Stream Body Art Technique!
However, at this moment, it was only Taijutsu, without any additional Ninjutsu.
Tang Ping's punch seemed unremarkable.
But its power was...
Boom!
Sasuke, who had crossed his arms to block the attack, was sent flying a considerable distance.
Tang Ping's strength was comparable to his opponent's, and being able to deliver such a powerful punch was entirely due to his Taijutsu expertise.
"Let me show you the power of the Uchiha!"
Far from being intimidated, Sasuke became excited after being knocked away.
That's right, this was the feeling he was looking for!
Usually, when sparring with the Ninja Academy students, he felt no pressure or challenge, but this pressure was what would drive him to improve!
Whoosh!
A pair of blood-red eyes appeared.
Sharingan.
Sasuke seemed to be taking this seriously.
At the same time, he also had the intention of learning Tang Ping's Taijutsu.
The Uchiha clan was born for the battlefield, and the Sharingan allowed them to learn and copy their opponents' Ninjutsu and Taijutsu, making them stronger with each battle.
Without combat, becoming stronger would be more challenging.
"Kingetsu Yo!"
Tang Ping swiftly moved forward, pinching Sasuke's neck with his right hand.
The most terrifying aspect of this technique was that it involved piercing the target's skull with flames and then causing them to explode, making it a guaranteed kill.
Currently, it was only Taijutsu, so its effectiveness was naturally reduced.
However, it was still stronger than the Leaf Style Body Art Technique.
Some ordinary punches and kicks had the audacity to be named with such extravagant and cool-sounding titles, making it seem like they had no shame.
In contrast, Tang Ping's Taijutsu had at least some skill in force application and specificity, making it far superior to the Leaf Taijutsu in terms of quality.
Therefore, this was also a way of giving Sasuke a little extra training.
After all, compared to the 'Crown Prince's Consort,' the Second Pillar was at a significant disadvantage.
The Second Pillar was barely able to defend himself, looking rather flustered.
This was already a situation where Tang Ping had deliberately lowered his speed and strength to match Sasuke's level.
It was evident that Tang Ping had a clear advantage in Taijutsu.
Tang Ping was a time-traveler, and even if he hadn't learned those force application techniques, he had at least heard of them. Combining his knowledge of Chakra and the Ninja World, it was inevitable that his Taijutsu would be powerful.
Just like now, Kakashi, Izumi, Minako, and Koushin were all watching with wide eyes.
They could all see how exceptional Tang Ping's Taijutsu was.
Posture and force application!
Tang Ping directly matched Sasuke's speed and strength, suppressing him even with his Sharingan activated.
How terrifying!
Sasuke was 'cheating,' yet he was being thoroughly beaten, making Tang Ping's strength seem almost unfair.
"What kind of Taijutsu is this? It's so powerful!"
Even Naruto, with his simple-mindedness, could see how formidable this Taijutsu was.
"Phoenix Stream Body Art Technique, and this is just the Taijutsu part!"
Minako whispered an explanation.
It was only her; if it had been Uzumaki Koushin, she wouldn't have even bothered to respond to Naruto.
"What? This is a Ninjutsu Taijutsu?"
Sakura, standing nearby, was slightly taken aback.
As a top student, she naturally understood how powerful this Taijutsu was, but she hadn't expected it to be a Ninjutsu Taijutsu.
In other words, the current display of its effectiveness might not even be half of its true potential.
"That's right!"
Minako nodded.
She had some disdain for Sakura's personality, but she acknowledged her abilities, considering her a talented individual in precise Chakra control.
"..."
Sakura couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy after hearing the answer.
After all, you had just graduated from the Ninja Academy, and you had already mastered such a powerful Taijutsu. How could she not feel envious?
In reality, not many people in the Heavenly Castle were qualified to learn the Phoenix Stream Body Art Technique.
If it were a Ninjutsu Taijutsu, even fewer people would be able to learn it.
"Every move you make is exposed before these eyes!"
After enduring Tang Ping's attacks for some time, the Second Pillar suddenly unleashed a confident punch.
Great Vulture Strike!
Indeed, he had already copied this technique.
"Is that so?"
Tang Ping, with a mischievous smile, unleashed the same Great Vulture Strike.
Boom!
Their fists collided.
Despite the identical movements and strength, Sasuke was sent flying several steps back.
The Phoenix Stream Body Art Technique was not just about the posture; the key was the internal force application.
And this force application was the core of the technique.
"Is that all?"
Tang Ping taunted the Second Pillar, who had managed to stabilize his stance.
Beating up someone with a cool and aloof attitude was indeed a satisfying feeling.
Hearing Tang Ping's mockery, Sasuke formed hand seals.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
He unleashed a massive fireball.
It must be said that although this technique was only a C-rank Ninjutsu, its power was almost on par with a B-rank technique.
The greatest weakness of this technique is its accuracy.
If one doesn't time the release perfectly, hitting the target becomes a challenging task.
Boom!
A massive explosion engulfed a wide area, creating a spectacular sight.
"So, this is the infamous 'Fire Style: Shame' technique?"
Tang Ping's sarcastic remark echoed beside Sasuke.
Even before his time-travel, countless people had mocked this technique.
While it boasted formidable power and a respectable level, it lacked any notable achievements, almost as if cursed.
"You!" Sasuke exclaimed, genuinely angered by Tang Ping's criticism of the Uchiha clan's Fire Style. He swiftly unfurled a scroll and drew out a giant Wind Devil Kunai.
The Uchiha Throwing Technique was a unique skill in the ninja world, and when combined with the observational power of the Sharingan, it became downright terrifying.
Tang Ping had no intention of interfering with Sasuke's attack.
Even Izumi and Kakashi, the two leading teachers, remained unconcerned.
Kakashi, aware of Tang Ping's identity, had no worries about a friendly spar, especially since he had invited the exchange squad to join their mission.
As for Izumi, she was confident that even the Third Hokage would triumph over Sasuke Uchiha.
Swish! Sasuke unleashed the giant Wind Devil Kunai with all his might.
The rapidly spinning kunai possessed an astonishing killing power, and the attached steel wires made it extremely difficult to evade.
But... why would Tang Ping need to dodge?
Whoosh! A flame enveloped his hands, and he spun and leaped, the fire seemingly alive as it wrapped around him.
"Ghost Burn!"
He executed a direct ninja body art technique.
However, he controlled his chakra usage, only consuming an amount typical of a low-level ninja.
Bang! The Wind Devil Kunai collided with the Ghost Burn and was blasted away.
Ghost Burn was formed by layers of Fire Style chakra that continuously 'exploded,' essentially using the flame's explosive power for defense, hence its formidable defensive capabilities.
Thud! Tang Ping landed steadily.
Despite being struck by the high-speed kunai, he was unharmed because the impact force had been nullified by the flame explosion, preventing any contact with his body.
"What kind of ninja technique is this?" Sasuke asked, his face filled with shock.
"Phoenix Stream Body Art Technique. You should know it," Tang Ping replied calmly.
The sparring session lost its purpose after that, so they stopped.
"What do you mean?" Sasuke asked, genuinely perplexed.
"Ahem!" Kakashi coughed a few times, signaling that it was time to rest.
After this spar, Sasuke's attention was now fully focused on Tang Ping.
For an Uchiha, the best way to earn respect and admiration was to defeat their opponent, which explained Sasuke's sudden change in attitude.
In reality, Tang Ping was, in a sense, his 'disciple.'
He had once promised Fugaku Uchiha that he would take Sasuke as his disciple after his graduation.
However, he later passed this responsibility to Hyuga Cangyue.
Now, he was offering some form of compensation.
If Tang Ping maintained a normal perspective and wasn't influenced by the Indra's chakra, he could genuinely accept Sasuke as his disciple.
He truly was a 'tragic man.'
His life was filled with tragedy, and when he sought revenge, he was struck by Minato's 'Personality Correction Punch,' which altered his entire worldview. It was indeed a miserable fate.
As long as one wasn't a traitor or a backstabber, they could be nurtured.
The prerequisite was 'obedience.'
If someone had the stubborn and domineering attitude of certain Uchiha, insisting on their own way without considering others, even with exceptional talent and a tragic background, Tang Ping wouldn't be interested in mentoring them.
He had the same concern when handing Sasuke over to Hyuga Cangyue.
During their journey, Tang Ping had assessed Sasuke's strength and foundation.
Terrible! Even though Sasuke inherited the Uchiha name and territory, he hadn't gained access to their resources and secret techniques.
If he had been raised in the traditional Uchiha manner, his foundation wouldn't be this weak.
The village's upper echelon had done an excellent job in this regard.
Aside from the resources, the Uchiha secret techniques and ninja arts were never returned to Sasuke.
It was similar to the Fourth Hokage and Lady Hokage's inheritance, which wasn't given to Naruto, leaving him with a humble living situation.
Soon, they reached a location not far from the Wave Country and encountered an unexpected situation.
