Ninja School Teacher, I Can Become Stronger by Teaching - Chapter 131
As Iwagakure and Kumogakure declare war on Konoha, the war gradually approaches, affecting the atmosphere among the ninjas in the village to some extent. Two weeks after the meeting, Mokutsuki could hear the teachers in the office discussing the topic of war.
Although it was a Jonin meeting, such matters couldn’t be kept secret.
If there’s a war, ninjasmusto is mobilized and can’t be hidden.
However, it has yet to affect Konoha’s overall atmosphere.
Even though it is a ninja village, Konoha has many more ordinary people than ninjas. Even some ninja clans have ordinary members who haven’t become ninjas.
“In my opinion, we should defeat Iwagakure with overwhelming force, intimidate the ninja world, and then ally with Sunagakure to defeat Kumogakure.”
“Why not first ally with Sunagakure to defeat Kumogakure and then attack Iwagakure together?”
“Are you stupid? Let Kumogakure weaken Sunagakure’s strength first. After defeating Kumogakure, we can then take on Iwagakure and Sunagakure together, maximizing our gains.”
Talking about politics can be very exciting. Although the Chunin teachers in the office usually don’t go to the battlefield, they still discussed eagerly, coming up with ideas and strategies.
“You two, war is a very cruel thing. It’s not as simple as you think,” said Ayako Ueda, looking at Yutaka Iketani and Saburo Kimura as their conversation became increasingly outrageous.
“Although the ninja world war is very cruel, Konoha has always been the victor. I don’t think this time will be any different,” replied Saburo Kimura, very confident in Konoha.
“Yes, under the leadership of the Third Hokage, Kumogakure and Iwagakure definitely won’t be our match,” agreed Yutaka Iketani, nodding.
“Right, Mokutsuki?” Yutaka Iketani looked at Mokutsuki.
“Of course, I believe the village will definitely win. But we teachers also need to do our part for the village by training ninjas with even more dedication,” Mokutsuki said.
Konoha will achieve final victory, even if it means a pyrrhic victory against four great ninja villages.
“See, we need to have the same confidence in the village as Mokutsuki-sensei,” said Yutaka Iketani.
“It’s not that I lack confidence in the village, but I think you two are underestimating war,” Ayako Ueda explained.
After organizing his things, Mokutsuki quickly left the office, went home to cook, and then headed to the Southern Forest.
The flames of war have not yet reached the ninja school or touched him, a specialized education figure.
Only when Konoha is genuinely on the brink of collapse will Mokutsuki be sent to the battlefield.
If that time comes, even the newly graduated Genin will not collect trash and weeds but will be sent to the battlefield.
After reaching the training ground, Mokutsuki gave each one an assessment.
Obito was still progressing, with his Flame Breathing proficiency reaching thirty-five points. Shisui was close behind with thirty points, while Might Guy, who had been ahead for a while, was now last with his Rock Breathing proficiency at twenty-five points.
Mokutsuki was quite satisfied with everyone’s progress. Although Might Guy lagged behind Obito by ten points, it was due to various factors beyond his control.
“You two can move on to the next stage of training,” Mokutsuki said to Shisui and Obito.
“The next stage will be harder than before, so be mentally prepared.”
“Just teach us quickly, Mokutsuki-sensei. No matter how hard it is, we’re not afraid,” Obito said with a grin, showing his fearlessness.
With two weeks until the first practical exam of the semester, Obito wanted to delve deeper into Flame Breathing and earn first place in his grade.
“Do you remember the second stage of training?” Mokutsuki asked.
“It’s to assume specific postures to aid in breathing technique training,” Obito replied after a moment of thinking.
“This time, you need to control the air you inhale freely without assuming specific postures, and use ninjutsu while in the Flame Breathing state,” Mokutsuki said.
Although it seemed like two goals, achieving the latter by mastering the former was more manageable.
Why do some ninjas need hand seals, while others can perform jutsu with fewer or no hand seals?
If you consider ninjutsu a math problem, hand seals are the process of solving it. Ninjas who don’t use hand seals get the answer directly, while those who use fewer hand seals are familiar with the problem and need fewer steps.
Flame Breathing adds an extra problem to the original one. Solving it increases the jutsu’s power.
However, using different jutsus in the flame-breathing state means solving additional problems, requiring absolute control over the inhaled air. This ensures you can solve any problem.
In this stage, Mokutsuki’s initial training for the two was to perform various extreme exercises using only the breathing technique without chakra.
Sometimes, pushing yourself can yield unexpected results.
Even Obito, usually thick-skinned, felt a bit nervous climbing cliffs without using chakra to cling on, as the footholds were often smaller than half a foot, barely enough for his toes.
To complete various complex extreme challenges without using chakra or tools, Obito and Shisui could only rely on the power brought by the breathing technique.
At this stage, Shisui and Obito were progressing at a similar rate. After reaching forty-two points in breathing technique proficiency, Shisui also reached thirty-seven points. Both completed the training in just one week.
Theoretically, the control of air training has been ongoing since the beginning. From the moment Obito and the others sensed the breathing technique, they were familiarizing themselves with controlling the air every time they trained. The fourth part of the training is like a final summary.
Once they could freely control the inhaled air, it was time for formal ninjutsu training.
Obito mainly focused on ninjutsu. He was very familiar with ninjutsu training, thinking it would be easy. However, it was more challenging than he expected.
The additional properties brought by Flame Breathing increased the jutsu’s power but also made it harder to control.
Compared to previous training, Obito found this stage easier, mainly involving enhancing control and familiarizing with the strengthened state.
Obito took five days to get accustomed to using ninjutsu in the breathing technique state.
By this time, Obito’s breathing technique proficiency had reached forty-six points.
Shisui was quicker in the ninjutsu stage, familiarizing himself in three days. After five days, his proficiency reached forty-two, and he was catching up.
Despite the intense training, Might Guy’s proficiency only reached thirty-two due to the difficulty.
Obito, Shisui, and Might Guy discussed their training progress on Saturday night. When Obito heard that Might Guy hadn’t started extreme exercises yet, he instantly felt reassured.
The exam was on Monday, and this time, he was determined to take first place in his grade!
