Becoming the Tsuchikage in the Naruto World

Chapter 254: Intensive Training

Just as Ishiro finished arranging his future plans for developing a Kekkei Tōta, his six disciples happened to arrive together. At this moment, all six were wearing the Chunin uniforms of Iwagakure.

Just now, the six of them had gone together to the Tsuchikage Building to complete their registration after being promoted to Chunin. Among them, Yuran Kawazoe had completed her Chunin promotion as a sealing jutsu ninja from the Barrier Team.

Looking at the six's attire, Ishiro smiled and said, "Congratulations, you are all Chunin now. You are all one step closer to your dreams."

As soon as Ishiro's voice fell, Himeki Suda was the first to speak, "Teacher Ishiro, now that we've become Chunin, does that mean our current squads will be disbanded?"

Ishiro first nodded, then shook his head, saying, "Disbanding is inevitable, but the strength of most of you is still at the bottom of the Chunin level. So I discussed it with Lord Tsuchikage, and we will have another period of special training for you."

Himeki Suda was a little disappointed to hear this. She had gotten used to getting along with her current teammates and didn't really want to separate. The expressions of the other few were more or less the same.

Ishiro smiled and said, "Separation is inevitable. When I first separated from my teammates back then, it was also very hard. But after the original squad was disbanded, there were new squads. So this matter is actually not as hard as you imagine."

Takuhiro Uchiyama asked, "Teacher Ishiro, what were your former teammates like? How are they now?"

Ishiro tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said succinctly, "That shameless pair are a couple now. As expected, without me driving a wedge between them, they eventually got together."

The six of them: "..."

...

After becoming Chunin, ninjas could receive some supplementary medicinal food for training. This time, with a hundred Chunin being promoted collectively, it was quite a generous gesture for the village.

The exclusive training ground for newly promoted Chunin couldn't accommodate so many people, so Ishiro took the six to a regular training ground. In addition, Ishiro also specially hired a chef to prepare medicinal food for the six. He decided to take advantage of this period to conduct some special training for them.

Starting that afternoon, the six continued to undergo various targeted training under Ishiro's requirements. Meanwhile, Ishiro himself officially began the development of his Kekkei Tōta.

Training in the Atomic Dismantling Jutsu was not very difficult for Ishiro. With his current ability to independently complete A-rank sealing jutsu and complete S-rank sealing jutsu with the cooperation of a clone, the Atomic Dismantling Jutsu was a piece of cake for him.

However, considering the danger of the Kekkei Tōta, Ishiro still did his best to completely master the Atomic Dismantling Jutsu, at least to the point where it could be used in actual combat, to avoid any training accidents.

A few days later, Ishiro invited Ōnoki over early. Starting today, he would officially begin to try fusing the three types of chakra.

The six disciples were very curious about Ōnoki's arrival. However, as Ishiro's disciples, they also knew that their teacher was recently training a very powerful move and could understand that he needed Lord Tsuchikage's personal guidance.

But with Ōnoki present, the six youngsters' enthusiasm for training was even higher.

Ishiro created a Water Clone and a Lightning Clone. Together with his main body, the three began to fuse chakra outside the body.

However, before the fusion, Ōnoki made some arrangements in the training ground. This was a barrier set up to prevent too much damage in case the Kekkei Tōta went out of control. Ishiro and Ōnoki stood within this barrier to practice.

With two clones cooperating, fusing chakra was relatively easier. The reason Ishiro created a Water Clone and a Lightning Clone was that he considered that the earth attribute had a counter relationship with both water and lightning and needed special attention. This aspect was the most difficult, so it was handled by the main body.

With Ōnoki's personal guidance and the foundation from his Sage Jutsu training, plus the fact that Ishiro had successively developed two Kekkei Genkai, this fusion process for Ishiro was relatively fast. At least, that's what Ōnoki thought.

After a month of intermittent practice, Ishiro had basically grasped the key to fusing the three chakras of water, earth, and lightning. It was just that Ishiro still lacked some proficiency in the end. Ishiro could understand this and was not沮丧 (jǔsàng - dejected/depressed).

The training Ishiro hoped for most was this kind of gradual increase in proficiency. Ishiro did not lack patience. This sense of satisfaction, of clearly feeling one step closer to success after each period, kept Ishiro forever motivated.

Of course, this month of training was not without accidents. Accidents happened every day. Each time, it was the three chakras going out of control, causing an explosion.

Fortunately, the amount of chakra Ishiro used at this stage was not large, so even if it caused an explosion, the pre-set barrier could contain it.

However, in these repeated explosions, Ishiro also came to understand some of the characteristics of the new Kekkei Tōta.

The form of these explosions was not completely the same, but in most cases, the type of explosion was still the same: at the center of the explosion, a bright blue light would be emitted. And after the explosion, a portion of the objects in the original area would always disappear as if they had vaporized.

Ishiro estimated that the Kekkei Tōta after successful training in the future would also have this effect. So after discussing with Ōnoki, they named the new Kekkei Tōta "Light Release."

In one month, he hadn't even gotten started with Light Release, but the intensive training for Ishiro's six disciples had ended.

Today was their last day under Ishiro. In the future, although they would still be Ishiro's disciples, they would no longer be led by Ishiro on missions. They would each go on to their own futures.

Ishiro looked at the six disciples he had been with for nearly two years and said slowly, "Alright, don't be sad. In the future, even without a teacher's supervision, you can't be too slack."

After speaking, Ishiro began to give his final words of advice to each of them one by one.

"Little Lan, your individual combat ability is not good, but your talent in sealing jutsu is excellent. Work hard in the Barrier Team in the future and strive to develop some sealing jutsu that the village doesn't have."

Yuran Kawazoe nodded. She was the only student who had not been promoted through the normal process and felt that she had brought shame to her teacher. She had been somewhat dejected for a while.

So in the past month, she had been the one who trained the hardest. Finally, before they parted ways, she learned her first A-rank sealing jutsu: the Five Elements Seal.

Of course, Yuran's own attributes were not all five elements. Although she had learned this seal, she still couldn't complete it independently. But this was already very remarkable. Being able to cast an A-rank sealing jutsu just after becoming a Chunin, her future could be said to be limitless.

"Himeki, I heard you signed up for the Anbu?" Ishiro turned his gaze to the most lively little girl among the six.

"Yes, Teacher Ishiro! I joined Senior White Cat's team. With its mother's guidance, Fūka can also progress faster," Himeki Suda nodded excitedly. In these past two years, she and Fūka had eaten, lived, and trained together. Their bond was now deeper than with her own family.

Ishiro nodded, expressing his support for Himeki's choice. The little girl had her own ideas and was hardworking enough in her training. After a month of intensive training, both she and Fūka's strength had progressed by leaps and bounds. Speaking of which, not only had the village provided Himeki with medicinal food recently, but they had also provided a portion for Fūka.

So now Fūka's strength had also increased by a large margin. With the two of them coordinating, Ishiro was also slightly more at ease about the little girl's safety in the Anbu.

Next was Kanako. The little girl had unexpectedly chosen to be a Chunin squad leader and even expressed a desire to take her squad to the battlefield.

At first, Ishiro was very strange, but later he understood: the little girl was short on money.

Kanako's Paper Release was too expensive, especially the Paper Release cast with exploding tags as a medium. The little girl came from a civilian family, and it was too difficult to maintain this combat style. Previously, Ishiro had her back, but now that the team was disbanded, she had to consider how to earn money.

And becoming a squad leader of a small team was a good way to earn money.

A regular squad was different from the team led by Ishiro. The main purpose of Ishiro's team was to guide juniors, while the main purpose of a regular squad was to perform missions. And as a squad leader, the mission rewards Kanako would receive were very considerable.

Ishiro ruffled the little girl's head and said, "Keep it up."

Ishiro was worried about the little girl earning money through missions. Although the rewards for ninja missions were good, the costs were also high. And Kanako's costs were particularly high.

The letter Ishiro had sent to Konan had still not received a reply. He no longer held much hope now. What level Kanako's Paper Release could reach in the future could only depend on herself.

"Takuhiro, although your strength is not weak, after entering the Anbu, be low-key at first. Before your strength reaches Jonin level, don't be too conspicuous. It's wartime now. As a youth showing too high a talent, you can easily attract the enemy's attention," Ishiro instructed Takuhiro Uchiyama.

Takuhiro nodded. He had joined the Anbu and was in the same squad as Akio Wada. He would officially report tomorrow. In fact, Takuhiro's personality was relatively reserved, not the flamboyant type. Ishiro's instruction was basically meaningless.

"Kazumasa, have you decided which department to go to next?" Ishiro looked at Kazumasa Yoshimura with some helplessness. This guy still hadn't decided where to go because he felt that no department suited him.

Kazumasa Yoshimura chuckled and said, "Teacher Ishiro, I've chosen. I'm going to the Ninjutsu Development Department."

Ishiro was stunned. The Ninjutsu Development Department? Did the village have such a department? How come he, an advisor, didn't know?

After thinking carefully, it seemed there really was one. This department was newly established by the village and included research on various projects in the village. The Lightning Release ninjutsu development team that Ishiro had previously presided over was now affiliated with this department. It was just that at that time, Ishiro himself was an advisor, and when he was the team leader, he didn't need to join this department. But after Ishiro stepped down, the R&D team needed to join this department. After all, they still needed the coordination of the high-level advisors when they encountered difficulties.

Besides the Lightning Release R&D team, this department also included various strange branches like genjutsu development, Sage Jutsu development, and ninja animal handling.

Ishiro thought for a moment and couldn't find any department that was suitable for Kazumasa. So he was even more puzzled.
