Naruto: Master of Yin chakra

Training Ground 45.

Clang, clang!

Whoosh!

Ibara Keisen parried the scythe with a Kunai, stopping the Kunai at Kamano Kisa's neck.

"Heh heh, you lost."

Kamano Kisa gave him a deep look and put down his Ninja tool.

"You, how did you become so powerful?"

The battle just now was too frustrating.

It was as if Ibara Keisen had predicted his every possible move.

And made corresponding counterattacks.

Every strike landed on his weak points.

Ibara Keisen chuckled, "Heh heh, because our captain is amazing!

He has us engage in continuous practical combat every day,

And he uses different methods, so for simple taijutsu like yours,

I'm already very accustomed to it."

This made him very proud; Satoru sensei was truly incredible.

When fighting with the captain, he realised that this captain was truly strong.

But it was only when he used what the captain taught him to fight Kamano Kisa that he could truly feel the captain's strength.

He was probably one of the top powerhouses in all of Konoha.

… …

On the other side.

Mibu Shinobi also easily defeated his classmate using the most basic Genjutsu, Satoru's Narakumi no Jutsu · Modified.

His idea was the same as Ibara Keisen's: he wanted to show off the results of his training to his acquaintances as soon as he returned to the Village.

However, having been taught by the captain, a Ninja should not easily reveal information.

So he kept silent about Satoru's abilities, and when asked by his classmates, he only indicated that the captain's teaching ability was top-notch.

"I don't want to experience the captain's Narakumi no Jutsu · Modified."

The three of them had had enough; it was incredibly uncomfortable.

The captain seemed to enjoy using such tormenting methods to motivate them.

Just thinking about it now made him shiver.

… …

By a deserted small river in Konoha.

Iruka was practising Water Release.

A water dragon swayed left and right in the river, twisting and turning as if dancing.

Its head only had dragon horns and a long, serpentine body, indicating it was the Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu, generally cartoonish in appearance.

"Damn it, the shape transformation of Ninjutsu is so difficult to learn."

He practised so diligently because he wanted to quickly learn the shape transformation technique taught by the captain.

According to the captain's explanation, to speed up the release and formation of the Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu,

One needed a deeper understanding of shape transformation.

This was something that had to be achieved in addition to hand seals.

Child - Horse - Tiger ------

Clap!

He failed again.

As he practised diligently, Hiruzen Sarutobi watched him quietly from behind.

Seeing that he could already use such a high-difficulty Ninjutsu, he also smiled.

Satoru's ability once again earned him points in his mind.

Then, seeing Iruka's troubled expression, he walked out.

"What's wrong? Is the Ninjutsu too difficult, making you discouraged?"

Iruka was panting, and upon hearing the Third Hokage's voice, he immediately smiled and turned around.

"Hokage-sama."

Only then did he reply, "Ah, not really. The captain also said that Ninjutsu training isn't something that can be achieved in a short time,

It requires daily practice, but even though I can perform the hand seals and release them,

The formation speed and power are still far behind the captain's."

Speaking of this, he remembered the water dragon that Satoru first showed them.

A majestic thirty-meter-tall giant dragon, even its swaying whiskers were more powerful than its current water dragon.

And its form was even more awe-inspiring.

Not only could it cause immense destruction with one blow, but it could also control the water dragon to carry them through the sky.

That was the true Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu.

According to the captain, he could also achieve this.

As long as he mastered the basics he taught, it would be easy.

Now, seeing the Third Hokage and then looking at the water dragon he released, he felt ashamed.

"Hokage-sama, is my talent too poor?

Ibara Keisen can already add wind nature transformation to his Ninja tools with what the captain taught!"

Iruka asked.

He had doubted himself before; compared to his teammate Ibara Keisen, he felt far behind.

Satoru said their talents were similar, which was why he kept persevering.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was stunned upon hearing this: "Iruka, mastering shape and nature transformation is something Jonin must master.

For you right now, it's still too early.

That's why you have this confusion."

Iruka's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

"For now, you just need to practice more, and you will gradually master shape transformation.

Every Jonin learns from the Ninjutsu of their predecessors.

Directly mastering shape transformation or nature transformation is not something an ordinary person can do."

Iruka nodded. The captain thought too highly of them, teaching Jonin-level material to Genin.

"Everyone has their strengths.

You are a meticulous child, and your personality is calm,

which makes you more suitable for researching basic things and then expressing them."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said slowly.

"This old man also went through the same thing back then.

And this old man is a Ninjutsu Professor; I will guide you."

"Really?"

"A Hokage's word is as good as gold."

… …

Ichiraku Ramen Shop in Konoha.

After bidding farewell to the Third Hokage, Satoru came to Ichiraku.

As for the children's showing off, he was unaware.

Now he just wanted to see Ayame, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

Slurp!

"Ayame's noodles are still the best; outside food is too far behind!"

Satoru praised Ayame.

It was still that familiar taste.

Ayame's face flushed slightly upon hearing this, her eyes sparkling.

Honestly, it was too embarrassing.

Teuchi glanced at him: "Boy, this old man's craftsmanship was learned and then innovated in the Capital of the Land of Fire.

Don't think I don't know, you're just a smooth talker."

"You wronged me, Father-in-law, how can others compare to you, who surpasses your own master?" Satoru said with a slurp.

Ayame: "You must be tired from this mission, working so hard outside for so long."

Satoru: "It's not hard at all; when I think of Ayame waiting for me in the Village, I don't feel tired in the slightest."

"Mm, mm, you're not hurt, are you?"

"Who am I? The most outstanding sensory Ninja of Konoha's Analysis Team.

How could I let anyone hurt me? Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Satoru patted his chest to reassure her.

A full sense of security.

When away from home, the family's sense of security is very important, so he always emphasised to Ayame that he was very strong.

He also wasn't afraid of others speculating about his strength; who couldn't boast?

"I believe you."

One sentence made Satoru overjoyed.

As expected of his beloved.

The ramen in his mouth tasted even better.

After a while of being lovey-dovey with Ayame, Teuchi shooed them out to stroll hand-in-hand.

Teuchi was a good and understanding father-in-law.

The two walked hand-in-hand down Konoha Main Street, leaning on each other.

They chatted and laughed, and Satoru told Ayame many interesting stories about the Land of Fire.

The prosperity of the Land of Fire, and various technologies, like movie theatres.

Konoha didn't have movie theatres yet; it might take a few more years for them to be gradually introduced.

And Ayame told Satoru many interesting stories that happened at the ramen shop.

For example, there was a blond child around two years old in Konoha recently, often called a demon fox reincarnation by residents.

Word spread, making everyone who saw the blond child feel uneasy.
