Konoha's lexicon of ninjas

Chapter 34 We Won! (Please vote with recommendation tickets and monthly tickets to continue reading)

April 16, Konoha Year 39.

The Star Show started early this morning.

After washing up and putting on his black training uniform, he jogged out the door.

Let's start with a 10-kilometer run around the village!

With light steps, Xingxia Xiuyi disappeared into the morning light.

Ten minutes later, the familiar voice came.

It's Matt Kay!

Sure enough, Hoshino Shuichi soon saw Might Guy coming upside down as he turned the corner.

Might Guy looked up and saw Hoshino Shuichi. Overjoyed, he jumped up and exclaimed, "Shuichi, you're back!"

Hoshino Hideichi stopped and smiled, saying, "Yes, I returned to the village last night."

"How about it, Kai? Shall we have a match?"

Matt Kai was more than happy to agree and immediately agreed: "That's exactly what I wanted to say too."

"If I don't win, as punishment, I'll have to do another lap of frog jumps around the village after school this afternoon!"

Hoshita Shuichi continued, "If I don't win, then the punishment is for Kakashi and me to have a taijutsu duel!"

"Let's begin!"

Might Guy, filled with passion, flipped over and did a handstand. Hoshino Shuichi immediately followed suit, standing shoulder to shoulder with Might Guy. Then, together, they used their hands as legs and began to move with great agility.

The two walked around the village, sweating profusely in the morning light, like the most beautiful scenery.

Twenty minutes later, the two returned to the starting point and leaned against the wooden wall, panting heavily.

Shuichi Hoshino lost!

But he also clearly felt that his physical strength had improved significantly.

Double the physical fitness is awesome!

If we dig deeper, our chakra, if not doubling, will at least increase by two-thirds.

While resting, Xingxia Xiu chatted with Might Guy. Ten minutes later, Guy went to school, and Xingxia Xiu went home to eat breakfast.

After breakfast, he went to his usual training ground to continue his practice.

Walking on the river while carrying a large stone.

They walked along the cliff while carrying a large rock.

This involves simultaneous physical training and chakra control training.

After training in the morning, we went back to the village's commercial street for a feast, and Hoshino Shuichi needed a lot of nourishment.

When he returned to the training ground at 2 p.m., he saw Kakashi hanging on the cliff with one hand.

Xingxia Xiu immediately smiled.

The entry for "Physical Skills Expert" relies on Kakashi!

So when Kakashi climbed to the top of the cliff, he saw Hoshino Shuichi inviting him with a big smile: "Kakashi, let's have a taijutsu duel and see if you've been neglecting your training lately."

Kakashi said with a hint of helplessness, "I'd love to, but at least wait until I've rested properly before coming, okay?"

"certainly!"

With a smile, Hoshino Shizuka took out some lightly salted water from his bag and tossed it to Kakashi.

Kakashi didn't stand on ceremony, took the drink, and gulped it down.

The two sat side by side on the edge of the cliff, and Hoshino Shuichi casually asked, "Have you learned any new ninjutsu lately?"

Kakashi said, "Lightning Release Chakra Nature Transformation!"

Hoshino Hideichi was slightly surprised upon hearing this: "So, your Earth Release technique has already completed the nature transformation training!"

Kakashi nodded casually, "Yeah!"

Hideichi Hoshino gave a thumbs up.

Kakashi was born with two chakra nature transformations: Earth Release and Lightning Release.

This means that when practicing Earth Release and Lightning Release ninjutsu, one does not need to undergo special training in chakra nature transformation before being able to use the corresponding Earth Release and Lightning Release ninjutsu.

For example, Kakashi mastered the Earth Release: Earth Wall technique very early on and used it many times in practical lessons at the Ninja Academy.

but.

The same ninjutsu can have different effects depending on who performs it.

There are two main influencing factors: the amount of chakra and the changes in the nature of chakra.

For example, the Wind Release: Rasengan is the ultimate manifestation of both wind release chakra nature transformation and form transformation.

This is also why Hoshino Shuichi was able to master Fire Release even though he hadn't specifically trained in Fire Release chakra nature transformation.

Because he was born with the nature transformation ability of Fire Release.

Of course, by practicing five Fire Release ninjutsu in a row, Hoshino Shuichi actually completed his training in Fire Release chakra nature transformation during this process.

However, he hasn't started using Wind Release yet.

……

After resting for half an hour, Hoshino Shuichi and Kakashi got into position and began their taijutsu duel.

Dust flew everywhere and sweat splattered.

The two fought from the top of the cliff to the ground, and then to the river.

The more Kakashi attacked, the more alarmed he became.

We were suppressed, completely suppressed!

Although he mainly focuses on ninjutsu, taijutsu is the most basic skill, and he has never relaxed on it. He believes that he has not slacked off at all during this period and has made considerable progress.

After all, there was that overly enthusiastic guy Kai to keep him on track, and there was this overly self-disciplined guy in front of him to compare him to.

"It's about neural reaction speed..."

"Shuichi's reflexes have gotten even faster!"

Kakashi quickly realized the trick, and immediately increased the weight of his punches and kicks, and the frequency of his attacks.

However, Shuichi Hoshino accepted it completely.

And it seemed a little relaxed.

Ten minutes later, Kakashi collapsed weakly onto the grass.

He was completely exhausted, not a drop left.

Although Hoshino Shuichi was also sweating profusely and panting heavily, he remained standing.

Happy!

This was his first victory in a taijutsu duel with Kakashi, and it marked a significant step forward for him towards becoming a "taijutsu expert."

……

In the evening, after a long day of work, Hoshino Shuichi lay in the bathtub, soaking in comfort as he closed his eyes and pondered his training plan for the future.

The entry for "Ninja Tool Expert" has been completed. To become "Taijutsu Expert," you need to defeat Kakashi 50 times in taijutsu duels. Today was the first time, so it will take quite some time.

Furthermore, after today, Kakashi will likely work even harder, and he absolutely cannot slack off.

So, which direction should we focus our attack on next?

Which keyword should we target?

Medical expert?

Wind Release expert?

A clone expert?

Instantaneous movement expert?

Hoshino Shizuka's gaze swept over the gray-white leaves of the word tree.

For experts in ninjutsu, the activation condition is basically the number of ninjutsu they possess.

If Hoshino Shuichi is from a ninja clan, then he has access to ninjutsu resources.

Two of the previous Fire Release techniques came from his father, one he learned from Obito Uchiha, and the remaining two came from Tenun.

Regarding the clone technique, Hoshino Shuichi has currently mastered one basic clone technique and one shadow clone technique, but he still needs three clone techniques.

He already possesses Fire Release and Wind Release, which means he needs to develop another chakra nature transformation in order to master the corresponding clone technique.

The situation is similar with the Instantaneous Movement Technique.

"Ninjutsu resources..."

Hideichi Hoshino sighed.

"Then we'll specialize in [Medical Expert], and secondly in [Wind Release Expert]."

Shuichi Hoshino made a decision.

The medical ninjutsu resources are available from Yakushi Nono, while the wind ninjutsu resources can be obtained from her teacher, Namikaze Minato.

Moreover, his role in the team is that of a medical ninja, so his persona cannot be ruined.

Whoosh!

After finishing his bath, Hoshino Shuichi got dressed and immediately went to the orphanage.

Tonight he plans to sleep at the academy director's place, where the pharmacist Nonou will also learn about medical ninjutsu.
