Chapter 14 Practicing Treading Water
Chapter 14 Practicing Treading Water
In Sakura's mind, Naruto wasn't very popular.
Kimoto Doichi only glanced at Kakashi, nodded slightly as a greeting, and then left with the three of them.
Kakashi's gaze left Kimoto speechless.
He thought to himself, "Is Kakashi targeting Yoru?"
He thought Kakashi was targeting Yoru because Yoru was hiding his strength.
If Kimoto Doichi knew that Kakashi envied him, he would probably become wary.
After all, everyone wants a good student.
After Yoru and the others left, Sakura looked at Kakashi with a puzzled expression: "Kakashi-sensei, who was that person?"
Sakura noticed that Kakashi had been staring at Yoru the whole time.
She thought Kakashi and Yoru were close.
Kakashi turned around and said casually, "An interesting guy. Alright, let's go in."
Kakashi wasn't willing to explain too much to Sakura.
Sasuke had felt a bit of pressure from Yoru from the beginning.
This was a feeling he had never experienced before.
Previously, Sasuke had always been the top student in his class at the Ninja Academy and had never taken anyone else seriously.
It's impossible for him to have classmates who put pressure on him.
He hadn't expected that just from the first contact, he would have the feeling that Ye Yu would become his rival in the future.
Kakashi didn't say anything, but Naruto chuckled and said to Sakura, "That's Team 11. The guy who's only slightly less handsome than me is called Yoru, and he's my friend."
Although they had only known each other for a short time, Naruto already considered Yoru as his friend.
He seemed oblivious to Ye Yu's growing distance from him.
Upon hearing Naruto's words, Sakura rolled her eyes at him.
"You idiot Naruto, you're so shameless."
In Sakura's mind, Yoru's appearance was just as good as Sasuke's.
If it weren't for Sasuke's special place in her heart, she might even think that Yoru's looks were better than Sasuke's.
On the other side, Ye Yu and his group arrived at the back mountain of Konoha.
Looking at the massive waterfall before them, Yamada Kiki and Honya Tadako asked with crestfallen faces, "Teacher, why did we get this kind of assignment? And how are we supposed to pick up all that trash at the bottom of the waterfall?"
Their task was to clean up the trash in the lake behind Konoha.
Since they were all newcomers, they naturally wouldn't receive any combat missions.
However, upstream of the lake in front of us is a large waterfall that is forty or fifty meters high.
Moreover, the water flow is very rapid, and the impact is extremely strong.
Cleaning up the trash under the waterfall is a real headache.
Kimoto said expressionlessly, "Today I will teach you how to use chakra to stand on the lake surface without falling in."
Upon hearing Kimoto's words, Yamada and Kiki, who had been looking bitter, instantly perked up.
"Really, teacher, what kind of ninjutsu are you going to teach us?"
Yoru looked at Kimoto Ichido and saw that he was also looking at him.
"Treading water? It is indeed a very basic, but very useful, ninjutsu."
Although it's a basic skill, Yoru really doesn't know it.
He hadn't cultivated before because his talent was only average.
Now Ye Yu is really looking forward to it.
Seeing that Yoru looked interested, Kimoto smiled slightly and said, "Come with me to the lakeside, and I'll give you a demonstration."
The group arrived at the water's edge, where the water flowed calmly, away from the waterfall.
This is a great place to practice.
Kimoto Ichido slowly stepped onto the water.
"Watch closely, as soon as your feet touch the water, control the chakra within your body to attach to the soles of your feet."
"Pay attention to controlling the amount of chakra, so that the chakra is just enough to support your body. Too much or too little is not good."
"You'll need to practice and master this amount yourselves."
As he spoke, Muben Tongyi was already standing on the water.
It felt like stepping on solid ground; it was very stable, and I didn't fall into the water.
This scene left both Yamada Kiki and Honya Tadako stunned.
"Wow! Teacher, you actually stood on the water without falling in!"
"That's amazing!"
Neither of them came from a ninja family and had never seen this kind of ninjutsu before.
Ye Yu was somewhat surprised to see that he was standing steadily on the water.
The feeling of imagining something is different from actually seeing it.
Yamada Kikino couldn't resist trying it out first.
Reaching the lakeside, he carefully concentrated his chakra beneath his feet, even though Kimoto had just demonstrated and explained the underlying principles.
But Yamada Kiki was still a little apprehensive when he tried it himself.
Nervously, he placed his feet on the water.
Just as he was about to exert force, he lost his footing and fell into the water.
"It's so difficult, teacher. How do you do it so easily?"
Standing up from the water and drying his hair, Yamada Kiju looked at Kimoto Ichido with an embarrassed expression.
Honya Takako, who had originally wanted to try it, became frightened when she saw Yamada Kisuke's appearance.
"Is it difficult? The teacher's explanation seems very simple, and the principle doesn't seem difficult either."
Honya Takako looked at Yamada Kisaki and asked.
As Yamada Kiki walked from the water to the shore, he smiled wryly and said, "It's simply impossible. The principle sounds simple, but mastering the right amount of chakra is extremely difficult."
Kimoto nodded: "Not bad. Although you haven't mastered it, you've grasped the true core of this ninjutsu."
"The most important thing is to master the appropriate amount of chakra. You need to have precise control over chakra. I can't help you with this. You need to train and figure it out yourselves."
Yamada Kiki nodded: "It's too difficult. I estimate it will take a long time to master."
Yamada Kiki felt it was too difficult to do.
"Just now, I didn't even feel my body standing on the water for a moment, just like when I didn't gather chakra."
"Teacher, how long did it take you to master this ninjutsu?"
Yamada Kiki was curious about how long it took Kimoto Ichido to master it.
Because Kimoto Ichido is a Jonin, and those who can become Jonin are all geniuses from a young age.
Because a Jonin is already the top combatant in a village.
Even in the five great ninja villages, it's the same.
The number of Jonin in the five great ninja villages is not large, and each one is an outstanding individual in their respective field.
Kimoto said calmly, "Two days."
"Two days! Even you, teacher, need two days, so it will probably take us more than ten days."
Although his ninja talent was average, Yamada Kiki still had a good understanding of the theory of ninjutsu.
He was also well aware that his talent was far inferior to that of Kimoto Ichido.
Honya Takako had originally wanted to try it, but after hearing Yamada Kiki's words, she withdrew her foot.
Her talent is similar to that of Yamada Kisaki.
"Teacher, what should we do with all that trash?"
Honya Tadako pointed to the trash below the waterfall.
Looking at the terrifying force of the waterfall, she felt a sense of fear.
A drop of tens of meters in water can kill a person.
Kimoto shook his head and said, "You'll have to figure that out yourselves. That's the purpose of this mission. If you can't even handle something this simple, you'll be killed when facing powerful enemies in the future."
