Chapter 15, 3rd Ninja's Sharp Commentary
Akaishi:……
It's common knowledge that the last person to be criticized is always the one with the biggest problem!
"Akaishi, your performance was the worst just now... Aren't you from the Uchiha clan? Haven't you already awakened your Sharingan? Why did you keep attacking while you were holding me back? Is this how you use taijutsu in the Uchiha clan?" Jiraiya pointed out the biggest problem.
Indeed, Akaishi himself lowered his head.
I still need to practice...
Akaishi was indeed fighting very chaotically just now. In his anxiety, he kept launching a strong attack and didn't manage to launch any counterattacks!
"And the illusions you use... The more uncertain you are about getting your opponent into an illusion like 'The Art of Not Being Here,' the more you need to create an illusion that closely resembles the real environment. You suddenly switched all my senses, were you afraid I wouldn't notice?" Jiraiya continued to lecture.
Jiraiya looked at the three of them one last time and said, "You've really disappointed me. You think you can become genin like this? You're completely unqualified. I'll give you one last chance this afternoon... Akaishi, you performed the worst, so you won't get lunch!"
Half an hour later...
In the third training ground, Uchiha Akaishi was sealed in place by Jiraiya using "Earth Release: Rock Pillar Technique" and could not move. Lanma and Minato were left to eat on the side.
However, Lan Wu was somewhat unable to eat, seemingly affected by the criticism she had just received.
at the same time……
"You're pretty brave, kid... How are you going to criticize me? Hmm?"
The three members of Akaishi could not see far ahead. Jiraiya was having his ear twisted by the eldest princess of Konoha, while a pale-faced, long-haired man was watching the commotion.
That's right, Tsunade and Orochimaru were actually in the shadows just now.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch... Let go, let go..." Jiraiya begged for mercy and was put down, muttering to himself, "It's my ears again... I'll develop a technique to protect my ears sooner or later..."
As Jiraiya spoke, he rubbed his ears, and at the same time, he rubbed his white hair, as if he suddenly thought of something.
"Besides, you shouldn't have taught Ranmai Super Strength in the first place, should you?" Jiraiya insisted.
"Of course I didn't teach her! Although that little girl did ask me a lot about the use of chakra for superhuman strength recently, I only taught her some techniques for controlling chakra..."
"However, the Super Strength technique was originally developed for me by my second grandfather. Perhaps she discovered the training method for Super Strength from the records left by my second grandfather." Tsunade said, shaking her head helplessly.
Jiraiya was right. The fighting style of "super strength" may look burly, but it is actually completely different from ordinary explosive physical techniques!
"Super Strength" requires extremely high chakra control, necessitating a large amount of chakra to circulate at high speed within the body with effortless ease, forming a polarization force. If the control is insufficient, it can actually injure the user.
Most medical ninjas capable of performing surgery lack the control to wield superhuman strength. It's safe to say that every ninja possessing superhuman strength is a top-tier medical ninja…
"Speaking of you two... Sarutobi-sensei asked you to be the instructors of Jonin, but you kept making excuses, and in the end, I had to do all the hard work. Now why are you rushing to watch the show?" Jiraiya asked with dissatisfaction.
"Don't say that. I just don't like those mediocre people. I think I can teach Minato Namikaze for you," Orochimaru said in a sinister tone.
"Don't even think about it!" Jiraiya said immediately.
"Isn't this the worst class you've ever taught?" Orochimaru said calmly.
"It's also the best one yet!" Jiraiya retorted.
Tsunade then spoke up, "Indeed, I never imagined that young people these days would be so amazing."
"We should be the young ones, right..." Jiraiya remarked.
Indeed, the strength of Minato Namikaze, Ranmai, and Akaishi Uchiha was quite astonishing to Jiraiya.
Although Jiraiya had known for a long time that Minato Namikaze was a genius and had observed him before making his choice, he realized today that his previous evaluation of Minato Namikaze was still too low.
"This blond kid, who's only ten years old, has only been out of the ninja academy for a day, and doesn't have any bloodline limits or special abilities, is already as strong as an ordinary Jonin... No wonder Orochimaru was tempted." Tsunade said with a sigh, looking in the direction of the three.
"You scoundrel, give up! Minato is a gentle, sunny, kind... good kid, obviously different from you!" Jiraiya took the opportunity to put Orochimaru down.
Orochimaru wasn't angry, but instead said in a sinister tone, "Yes, that's exactly why they need my guidance... In the end, they actually forced themselves to 'fit in,' which is really outrageous."
"Hey, you rascal, stay away from my students." Jiraiya glared at him and said seriously.
Jiraiya, of course, could see that Minato's final "reckless charge" was primarily due to the lack of chance of victory and the inability to complete the mission. However, Minato could have ended things more gracefully, but out of consideration for his two comrades, they all rolled into the Mizunahara Plain together...
"Haha, weren't you still not qualified? How did you become my student?" Tsunade teased with a laugh.
"This is our educational approach!" Jiraiya declared confidently.
"It's not just your Minato Namikaze, Ranma is also quite good. Although she's not as skilled as Second Grandfather in Water Release form transformations, she excels in Water Release chakra nature transformations." Tsunade spoke up for Ranma.
"Hmm, I can tell..." Jiraiya then recalled the "Mizuamehara" from before.
This ninjutsu, which alters the nature of chakra, is not simply about mastering water-style chakra transformation. It transforms the "water" formed from normal chakra into a syrup-like substance, making it a ninjutsu that requires a high level of mastery of nature transformation.
Although the training difficulty is only C-level, it is clear that Lan Wu's "Water Candy Grasp" nature transformation has reached a very deep level, which is not something that an ordinary ninja can do.
"From my observation, people who are skilled in chakra nature transformation are generally quite fickle," Orochimaru said, quite disapprovingly, as he listened to his research findings.
"If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!" Tsunade glared at him.
Orochimaru, however, did not remain silent. Instead, he continued, "On the contrary, ninjas who excel at chakra transformation tend to be more independent and argumentative... This is probably a more suitable trait for becoming Hokage."
The First Hokage's Wood Release and the Second Hokage's Water Release are both extensions that emphasize changes in form.
Jiraiya then recalled Minato Namikaze's "Wind Release: Gale Palm"...
Seeing that the topic of Tsunade and Orochimaru had been moved on, Jiraiya added, "Actually, that Uchiha kid is not bad either... Although he is still a bit weak right now, since he has just awakened his Sharingan, the next month will be a period of rapid improvement in his strength."
"Hmm? It's just opening the eye, isn't it?" Tsunade felt that she couldn't see any talent in Akaishi beyond the abilities brought by "opening the eye".
