The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

Of course, "mastering" here only means being able to use it at a basic level.

But this was already enough to amaze Iruka.

After all, while the Three Body Technique is considered a basic technique, it is not so easy to learn, and it requires a high level of chakra control from the user.

When Iruka was learning the Three Bodies Technique, it would take him a week, or even longer, to even begin to master a single technique.

The most difficult of them all is the clone technique.

I spent even more time on it.

Now we see that Menma mastered the Three-Body Technique in just one week.

Iruka was naturally amazed.

However, Menma himself was not very satisfied.

because.

"Peng!"

"Boom!"

In terms of mastering the technique, facial anesthesia is clearly still somewhat lacking.

Looking at the small tree stump that had fallen to the ground.

His brows furrowed slightly.

Speaking of which...

The Substitution Technique is the easiest of the Three Body Techniques to learn, but it is also the most difficult to use because it requires precise timing.

The Substitution Technique does not possess any characteristics of spatial magic.

If it were truly related to space-time techniques, would it still be one of the basic techniques taught at the Ninja Academy?

That's pure nonsense.

To put it bluntly, this technique is just a smokescreen.

In high-level ninja battles, it's not that it's completely useless, but rather that achieving a deceptive effect is extremely difficult.

Just like the transformation and clone techniques that come later.

It does have an effect and function, but it depends on how the practitioner uses it.

Of course, there are even higher levels of the clone technique, such as water clones, earth clones, and shadow clones, which are even more overpowered.

The Substitute Technique is just a Substitute Technique.

If the timing isn't right...

That would make it a joke.

Mianma doesn't necessarily mean that he must master this technique to perfection, but rather that he wants to use this training method.

I need to further hone my control over the techniques.

It's a win-win situation.

The same applies to transformation techniques; striving for perfection is never wrong.

This is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

What's needed is time to accumulate experience and repeated practice.

'It still needs some time, or perhaps it should be used in combat to achieve better results!'

Mianma touched his chin, thinking silently to himself.

Cultivation is the most direct way to improve one's skill level and strength, but the most effective method is always actual combat.

Self-cultivation will always fall short of expectations.

Only real, hard-fought battles can truly elevate a ninja's skills, especially life-or-death struggles, which make it easier for them to break through their limits.

'If possible, how about I spar with Teacher Iruka later? Hmm, that should be a good idea, right?'

Just as this thought popped into Menma's mind.

"Menma!"

A clear voice rang out, and then, Iruka's familiar figure came into Menma's view from not far away.

"Huh? Iruka-sensei, what brings you here?"

When Menma saw Iruka, he quickly went to greet him and asked.

"I went to your house to look for you, but you weren't there, so I knew you must be here. Didn't all your ninja tools wear out before? I bought you a new batch. You don't need to use those worn-out ninja tools anymore."

Iruka smiled slightly, then took out a sealing scroll from his pocket and formed a hand seal.

"puff."

A white mist suddenly appeared and then dissipated.

With a "plop".

A rather heavy ninja tool bag appeared directly in front of Menma.

The Third Year Since Chapter 15 Arrived

Open it up.

The exposed, cold blade revealed the pitch-black ninja tools.

The quantity wasn't large, but all the necessary types were there, and Mianma's face lit up with joy when he saw them.

Not to mention that ninja tools are already very expensive, even if Menma were rich now, he simply couldn't buy them.

He is still a fearsome 'wild beast' throughout the entire ninja world.

We walked into someone's ninja tool shop.

It's already a miracle that the shop owner didn't get kicked out; how could they possibly want to buy anything?

That would just be a joke.

In the original work, Naruto's status and reputation in the ninja village changed after he graduated, because ninjas have a very special status in this world, and the people living in the ninja village have a deep understanding of this.

They knew very well that ordinary people could not be on the same level as ninjas; they had to respect and revere ninjas. In the original work, Naruto's status also began to change from the moment he graduated.

In this life, Menma is still just a little kid in the ninja academy.

status?

Let's talk about that later.

Therefore, Menma was naturally very happy to see that Iruka had brought so many ninja tools.

"Thank you, Teacher Iruka! I will definitely study and train even harder."

Menma, with a genuine look of joy, thanked Iruka.

"Hehe, it would be best if you could study hard, but you also need to pay attention to the balance between work and rest. At your age, you can't overdo it with cultivation, otherwise it will be counterproductive, understand? Mianma."

Iruka chuckled and patted Menma's head, then changed the subject, speaking with a hint of warning.

"Yes, Teacher Iruka."

Iruka had no idea what his state of mind was right now, facing the numbness.

He was originally just like most of the people of Konoha.

It's hard for them to identify with Menma, who is the vessel for the Nine-Tailed Fox; in fact, they harbor some resentment towards her.

But he was not an ordinary citizen.

He was a ninja, and a ninja trusted by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He was well aware of what a Jinchūriki meant.

To put it bluntly, rationally speaking, Iruka can clearly distinguish between Kurama (the Nine-Tails) and Menma (Menma).

At first, it was just some emotional resistance.

After spending nearly two years together...

Iruka truly realized that Menma was a very hardworking child, but also a very pitiful one.

Menma's life circumstances were even more tragic and pitiful than his.

At least he had experienced the warmth of a family, while Menma was born without parents and was brought back by the Third Hokage after being found by chance outside the village (this is what Hiruzen Sarutobi vaguely told Iruka about Menma's identity!).

Then, due to his special bloodline, he unknowingly became the vessel for the Nine-Tails.

Is there anything wrong with using sesame seeds?

Do not!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

It should even be said that Menma, who became the vessel for the Nine-Tails as an infant, can already be considered a hero of Konoha.

It can only be said that things in this world can never go as expected.

So it is.

Iruka was more concerned about the noodles.

Without realizing it, he had even begun to regard Menma as his own younger brother.

"The New Year is just around the corner, and you'll soon be entering your third year of Ninja Academy studies. From now on, you'll be focusing on practical combat training, supplemented by theoretical knowledge. Although Menma, you have exceptional talent in this area and have mastered the Three Body Techniques ahead of time, it's still not stable enough, right? You still need to avoid arrogance and impatience. You know there are other students in our class who are just as excellent as you. I hope you can maintain this momentum and graduate with top honors in four years."

Iruka said with a serious expression.

It's not wartime now, so apart from those from ninja clans who receive special guidance and training within their own families beforehand...

Learning at the Ninja Academy proceeds in a step-by-step manner.

There's no need to rush to produce a bunch of graduates and then send them to the battlefield as cannon fodder!

We can have more time to steadily cultivate some basic combat forces at the mid-to-low level.
