Chapter 105: Chidori
"Anyone among you who has learned the flicker technique should step forward," Makoto announced to everyone in Group A.
Shisui, Obito, Might Gai, Asuma, and others who had mastered the teleportation technique stepped out of the queue as Makoto instructed.
"In the last two weeks, in addition to basic training, the focus will primarily be on practicing the flicker Technique," Makoto explained regarding the upcoming training schedule.
He then addressed the students who had learned the flicker Technique:
"Those of you who have already mastered it can decide your own training. You can continue learning from me as usual, or you can practice according to your own ideas."
Makoto intended to teach the widely circulated D-level teleportation technique in Konoha.
This technique, unlike others, had low requirements and was easy to learn.
Makoto had previously instructed students to undergo chakra control training to prepare for learning the teleportation technique.
Two key points were emphasized: the body must endure the chakra stimulation, and precise control of chakra output is essential. Failure to do so could result in fatigue and impaired speed during battle.
"The soles of the feet are the most challenging part to condense chakra. It's not only difficult to achieve, but controlling the output is also crucial. Too much chakra can lead to wastage and affect spellcasting," Makoto explained.
Ebisu observed, "It turns out they've mastered the art of teleportation. No wonder their speed changed abruptly during the fight."
'I need to learn this teleportation technique quickly, or I won't perform well in the final combat test,'
After last week's incident, he had started taking things seriously, not wanting to be defeated when the Third Hokage came to evaluate.
After a brief explanation, Makoto started teaching the students. Demonstrating the Instant Body Technique several times, he then guided the students through the practice.
When students made mistakes, Makoto pointed them out and helped correct them. He rotated through Groups ABC, teaching each one with the assistance of shadow clones.
Makoto, moving to Group B, found their progress one level behind Group A, as expected. The goals for Group B included completing chakra control training, strengthening physical skills, and improving the Three Body Techniques.
After instructing Group B for a while, Makoto moved on to Group C.
Group C, with the slowest progress, had just started chakra control training. This was due to the composition of students in Group C, including junior students and fourth-grade students with average grades.
The proficiency of students in the Three Body Technique increased rapidly with high proficiency in the Clone Technique, some even surpassing the entry-level 300 points.
These students either have had limited training time, have not practiced diligently in the past, and thus haven't laid a solid foundation, or simply possess lesser natural talent, resulting in slower progress.
It's not that Makoto is unwilling to teach more; it's just that he can only instruct in this manner. Forcing Group C to catch up with the progress of Group A&B would only be counterproductive.
After three weeks of study, some students had actually advanced to Group B.
"The key to climbing a tree is to find the..." Makoto effortlessly walked up a tall tree as if strolling on the ground, reiterating the techniques mentioned countless times.
While the words remained the same, at different stages of cultivation, individuals would perceive them differently.
"Hehe, Teacher Makoto, I think I've completed my training." Anko swiftly traversed the tree, running vertically and then horizontally.
"Well, you've mastered tree-climbing. Next, you'll practice the substitution and transformation techniques. In the afternoon, we'll begin water-treading practice." Makoto nodded.
Miratashi Anko displayed good ninja talent, progressing relatively fast among the three groups. Considering she had only practiced for one semester, completing tree-climbing training swiftly, along with other exercises, was commendable.
"Okay." Anko, having received Makoto's approval, leaped up and down the tree.
After successfully completing her training, Anko didn't forget her two companions. She headed straight for Izumo and Kotetsu, to offer guidance.
"Don't fear falling. Concentrate chakra on the soles of your feet, close your eyes, and move forward." Anko advised earnestly.
The corner of Kotetsu's mouth twitched. If he truly followed Anko's method, he'd likely end up breaking his legs.
"I had Teacher Makoto personally confirm my completion of training. Don't be arrogant." Miratashi Anko said with a smile, seeking retribution for the two scoundrels who duped her into neglecting reviews.
"Sigh, how did we end up like this?" Izumo sighed as he looked at Kotetsu with a melancholic expression.
"Damn it, if there were theory tests, Anko wouldn't be so arrogant!" Kotetsu lamented the absence of a theory test in their special training. Otherwise, Anko's confident assertions would not have gone unchallenged.
Encouraged by Anko, Kotetsu and Kamizuki Izumo intensified their practice.
Makoto traversed between the three groups until the end of the class.
[Completed a large class teaching]
[Evaluation: A]
[Rewards obtained: Wind Release: Gale Palm, Chidori]
Upon seeing the rewards from the system, memories flooded Makoto's mind.
Naruto had various Rasengans, and Sasuke possessed various Chidoris. This ninjutsu was also relatively versatile.
