"Three Body Technique is the most basic ninjutsu and also the one with the lowest chakra consumption. In the practice field, we can use powerful ninjutsu without worrying about chakra usage, but it is different on the battlefield."
"Saving a little chakra might save a life."
At the beginning, Jingyi spoke about the understanding and skills of "self."
Some came from predecessors, but more came from the "Three Body Technique" knowledge provided by the system.
Everyone listened carefully.
Now is not the same as it was before.
The successive wars have left Konoha somewhat depleted today. More and more children graduate early to participate in the war, such as Kakashi and Might Guy.
Many in this mixed class may join the war this year.
The guidance of an old ninja with battlefield experience is extremely valuable to them.
At this moment, even the noisiest, like Obito, dared not whisper.
"Teacher, how can I use less chakra?"
"Teacher…"
It was time for questions.
A group of students raised their hands enthusiastically.
Jingyi answered patiently one by one.
The bell rang.
Class had ended!
"Alright, students, you can practice on your own after you go back. If you have any questions, you can come to me after class or ask in the next class. If there's nothing else, you are dismissed."
Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief.
The first lesson in the ninja world went quite well.
The intimidating first impression made the later teaching much easier.
But...
Now it seemed that the lecture notes he had prepared were unnecessary.
In a real class, it's impossible to follow the script exactly.
These students were not ordinary; many of them were geniuses and future well-known figures. They all had their own ideas.
"By the way, Obito, the first class tomorrow morning is mine. If you're late, you'll run 200 laps around the playground."
"What?!"
Bringing Obito back to reality.
Before leaving, he still dawdled around. What if he was really late tomorrow?
"Everyone, see you tomorrow."
As soon as Jingyi finished speaking, he immediately left.
Back in the office, he immediately checked the system.
At the end of class, he had heard a prompt from the system but hadn't checked it yet.
[Completed first class teaching]
[Evaluation: Excellent]
[Reward: Ninjutsu - Water Dragon Bullet Technique]
Water Dragon Bullet?
Forty-four hand seals?
Jingyi was stunned for a moment.
But...
After receiving it, he realized he had misunderstood the system.
This was a simplified version created by the Second Hokage, with only four seals. Plus, with the boost from awakening the Senju bloodline earlier, this ninjutsu reward was definitely not bad.
"I'll go test it."
Jingyi said to himself.
From the moment he activated the system to awakening his bloodline, he hadn't yet tested the power of his Water Release ninjutsu, nor did he have an accurate assessment of his current strength.
That couldn't continue.
Outskirts of Konoha
After class, Jingyi arrived near a riverside area.
Next.
Shadow Clone Technique!
A clone identical to him appeared.
"Time is precious. You go practice taijutsu moves, and I'll try out the power of ninjutsu."
Nima.
Why don't you switch jobs with me?
The shadow clone wanted to complain, a speechless expression on its face.
But...
Who made it a clone?
No choice.
It had to find a spot in the woods and start practicing physical techniques. If it could train moves like Konoha Whirlwind and Leaf Rising Wind, it would be worthwhile.
Jingyi checked his chakra.
There was a lot more now.
"With this amount of chakra, maintaining at least three shadow clones at the same time is no problem. It's nowhere near Naruto's level, but much more than adult Kakashi."
Jingyi was quite satisfied.
Naruto had not only the Uzumaki bloodline but also the Nine-Tails' chakra and Ashura's chakra completely incomparable.
He looked around.
He found an open space and quickly formed seals...
Water Dragon Bullet!
The next moment, a stream of water turned into a dragon and soared into the sky, smashing into the ground with a loud roar, creating a huge crater from the high-speed impact.
Powerful!
Even though being away from the river weakened it slightly, the difference wasn't too big only the chakra consumption increased.
"In this way, I have both offensive and defensive moves."
Jingyi thought to himself.
With Water Wall, Water Dragon Bullet, and Water Surface Slash, he didn't have any major flaws in his current capabilities.
Of course...
It's limited to the Chunin and Jonin level.
Compared to elite Jonin and Kage-level ninjas, his techniques would seem too weak.
But.
Take it slow. With the system, time was on his side.
He stood up, ready to go back for a good meal.
As for the shadow clone...
Let it keep training over there.
Just as Jingyi took a step, he suddenly noticed a chakra fluctuation and turned to look in that direction.
"Who's there?"
"Teacher, it's me."
From behind a tree, a figure slowly emerged.
No need to see the face.
Just from the voice, Jingyi knew who it was.
Uchiha Shisui.
"Shisui, are you looking for me?"
"Yes, I have some doubts. I hope to ask you, teacher."
Shisui immediately bowed.
Seeing that Jingyi was gentle and not impatient, he hesitated for a moment before coming over.
"Tell me."
"Teacher, I originally wanted to graduate early this year, but after sparring with you, I'm a little worried... Will early graduation cause trouble for my teammates?"
Shisui voiced his concerns.
Jingyi was stunned for a moment and then almost laughed.
It seemed that he had struck a chord.
He thought for a while and said, "With your strength, you definitely won't drag down your teammates, and you won't be weak on the battlefield. But if the battlefield isn't desperate for manpower, I don't recommend you graduate so early."
"Please advise me, teacher!"
Shisui bowed solemnly.
"Sit, let's talk as friends."
Jingyi sat down and motioned to the grass for Shisui to sit too.
Shisui obeyed.
"Do you know why the First and Second Hokage founded the Ninja Academy?"
Shisui shook his head.
"Do you know about the Will of Fire?"
"Where the leaves dance, the fire will burn. The fire will light the village, and new leaves will grow."
Shisui nodded this time.
He had learned it in thought classes led by the Third Hokage.
"One of the meanings is that children are the future of Konoha. The First and Second Hokage founded the Academy to allow children to grow up without immediately facing life-and-death battles."
Jingyi explained.
His grandmother was from the Senju clan, so he knew these histories well. But they weren't secrets, so he wasn't worried about someone eavesdropping.
Shisui was deep in thought.
"The battlefield forces people to grow, but you're only five years old. If you study for another year or two, your strength and thinking will be even more mature. It won't be too late to go then."
Jingyi said.
What the battlefield lacked wasn't numbers it lacked capable Chunin and Jonin.
The Third Hokage's decision to send children to the battlefield early was, at heart, hoping they'd grow faster under the pressure of war.
"But…"
Shisui hesitated.
He thought about it the First and Second Hokage did say similar things, so why were so many children being sent to war early?
Like Kakashi.
That senior graduated at five years old and reportedly already made Chunin with outstanding military merit.
"War makes people grow, but it also makes them lose a lot. Graduating early isn't necessarily a good thing."
Jingyi couldn't help but recall some episodes about Kakashi.
He had been on the same team as Kakashi once.
That brat...
It could only be said his temper was truly awful, and at this stage, not very likable.
"I understand. Thank you, teacher."
