- Se-sensei... ha-ha... we can't... ha... anymore! - Hoshi and Asani moaned, running half a lap more than Surizawa, who had collapsed.
- I shook my head disappointedly, "You need to get in shape first, and then you can do the rest. It's settled! From the next day, you'll do the mission first, followed by intense physical training until you can run thirty laps without getting out of breath, and by lunchtime we'll control your chakra and increase its quantity.
- Why...ugh...running, sensei? - Hoshi asked, struggling to sit up.
- Very simple - it's the most important skill for genin to survive at the beginning of his career, besides, you are too weak to do a normal set of exercises for general body development, so we'll work on endurance, - he explained to the student, - of course, without using chakra, - he added, causing a friendly chorus of groans from his charges.
- If you can moan, it means you've already rested, - he concluded in response, - run a couple more circles and I'll treat you, but only those who can overcome these two circles.
To the accompaniment of swearing, complaining and accusations of sadism, the trio of kunoichi got up and began to waddle at the speed of pregnant turtles around the training ground.
- Come on, shuffle your feet, shuffle your feet, will you also run away from the enemy at this speed? - I hurried them up. - The skill of escape is especially important for young kunoichi - they are most often taken prisoner, and what they do with the captives you should have been told in the academy, so now you are training to escape.
This particular reasoning made the students increase their pace, despite their pitiful moans. As they say, the mouse cried and cried, but kept eating the cactus. After waiting for the girls to reach the marked line and fall to the ground, I created a couple of clones and quickly healed them, then removed the seals. Their moans quickly changed tones, and I grinned at the feeling of sore muscles and chakra spreading through a nearly empty keirakukei, just a little short of the highest level of bliss.
- Five minutes to rest and then we'll practice control," I snapped at my students, who were still lying there, "did they teach you how to walk on vertical surfaces at the academy?
- No, Sensei," Surizawa grunted, slowly rising to her feet, "just the leaf exercise.
- It didn't take long to explain the principle of the exercise, and in a couple of minutes the girls were lying on the ground and trying to fix their feet on the trunk of their tree.
I decided not to give any nonsense with the run-up, because the amount of chakra they have is still small and it will be much more productive to get used to it without heroic attacks, adjusting the necessary amount of chakra supply from the feet.
- As soon as we can hold on, we'll try walking and then running until we're almost completely exhausted," I continued, teaching the students not only to focus on the training, but also to absorb the information I was giving them, "after which Surizawa is free to go, and you can continue running until you're exhausted.
