Konoha teaches, then stands in the sky

"Mu Yue, what are your thoughts after the second semester's holiday? Should we continue with special training like during the summer vacation?" asked Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Although the winter break from the second semester to the third semester of the Ninja School is not as long as the summer break, it is still a little over a month long.

The only thing is that there is really no time for special training from the third semester to the next academic year because the vacation is only two weeks.

"For ordinary students, special training can proceed as usual, but for exceptionally outstanding students, I suggest starting internships in ninja work," Mu Yue replied.

Then Mu Yue and Sarutobi Hiruzen explained his thoughts.

For most students, special training is definitely the best option, and the top students, such as those who rank at the top of the grade, are given special treatment, allowing them to start doing commissioned tasks in advance and hone their ninja abilities.

Even if Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't ask today, Mu Yue would find a time to talk to Sarutobi Hiruzen about the internship.

He wanted to take Might Guy, Obito and the others on the mission together.

If there are rewards for taking exams, then Mu Yue is very curious about whether there are rewards for disciples completing commissioned tasks.

Then he wanted to take this opportunity to train his disciples and himself.

Mu Yue has no fighting experience now. He is with a few interns. The third generation will at most let him take on some D-level and C-level missions. There is a high probability that he will not be encountered by ninjas, so it is very safe.

It might even be difficult to get a C-level mission, because newly graduated Genin are not allowed to take C-level missions, let alone interns from the ninja school. Maybe he would have to go to Sarutobi Hiruzen to show his face.

"Let outstanding students do internships..." Sarutobi Hiruzen fell into thought.

"We don't even need to send a senior ninja instructor. We only need to send some outstanding ninja school teachers, and they are only allowed to accept D-level and C-level missions." Mu Yue continued.

In fact, the intern Mu Yue has some similar ideas to Sarutobi Hiruzen's previous ones.

Before, Mu Yue organized special training for the fourth graders, Sarutobi Hiruzen, hoping that the graduating Genin would become stronger and be able to master ninja work faster.

Now it seems that intern Mu Yue’s idea is even better.

Students like Might Guy and Obito, except for not taking the graduation exam, are stronger than ordinary Genin, so there will be no problem for them to take on commissions.

By the time they graduate and are familiar with commissioned work, they won't have to start by picking up trash and mowing the grass like other Genin, but can start directly with C-rank tasks.

"Mu Yue, your idea is very good. I think it is feasible, but you need to improve the details." Sarutobi Hiruzen said after thinking for a while.

It's still early and there are still more than two months before the holiday. He wants to see what Mu Yue's complete thoughts are.

Mu Yue nodded and said, "I'll give it to you when I'm done."

As long as Sarutobi Hiruzen showed interest, he would not worry about the plan failing.

Because now it can be said that the time, place and people are all right.

Although the Ninja World War is still in a state of mutual testing, various preventive measures require the mobilization of a large number of ninjas, and there will be fewer and fewer ninjas in Konoha Village who can take on commissions.

Mu Yue felt that in the end it might not be the top few in the grade, and that only students with excellent grades would be able to get internship spots.

He considered many possible situations, including the possibility that the third generation would let him continue to be responsible for special training instead of leading interns.

Mu Yue had already prepared a contingency plan, such as guiding Sarutobi Hiruzen to test the effect of other teachers' special training and compare it with Mu Yue's special training results.

Mu Yue could also take a step back, saying that he cannot always be responsible for such a big thing, and other teachers must be given the responsibility.

He also considered the possibility that all his plans would fail, which would not affect him too much.

If I can't take my disciples on missions, I'll have to take them for special training, which will be quite profitable. The vacation will only last for a little over a month, after which the disciples will return to their normal lives.

After returning, Mu Yue continued her simple daily life.

He taught students during the day and learned how to make ninja tools at night. The next day, he accidentally let his students see the marks on his hands left by making ninja tools.

"Teacher Mu Yue, are you really practicing some terrifying forbidden technique?" Obito asked seriously.

Snapped!

Mu Yue put two fingers together and quickly hit Obito on the head.

"I'm just learning how to forge ninja tools recently. Don't think too much about it." Mu Yue explained.

"I see." Obito showed a regretful expression.

"Teacher Mu Yue, why are you learning this? Are you going to open a ninja tool shop in the future?" Obito asked curiously.

"No." Mu Yue shook her head and refused without saying much.

Unlike what Obito guessed, Shisui felt that a strong man like Mu Yue was not satisfied with ordinary ninja tools, so he learned forging himself.

On Monday at noon, Mu Yue attended a small meeting attended only by the grade director and the principal.

The main purpose is to discuss the results of this exam.

There is no doubt that Mu Yue's outstanding performance in Class 1, Grade 1 was praised again, but Mu Yue had long been immune to such words.

Then we discussed the big class that Mu Yue had proposed before.

Currently, only the first grade has large classes, taught by Mu Yue and another Chunin teacher named Koji Kono, each of whom teaches four classes.

However, what is a bit embarrassing is that the polarization of grades is too serious. The four classes taught by Mu Yue perform much better than the other four classes.

It’s obvious at first glance that it’s not a question of whether the class is big or small, it’s just Chunchun Muyue’s personal ability.

The results were obviously not as good as those of the class taught by Mu Yue, so they compared the average scores of the four classes taught by Kono Yasuji last semester and found that they had dropped by about six or seven points.

It didn't drop a lot, but it did drop. The final result of the discussion was to continue the pilot program in the first grade and not extend it to other grades for the time being.

Chapter 139 One-hand seal

If you were to ask what the difference is between Shisui's fully concentrated breathing state and normal breathing, then normal breathing is like eating mouthful by mouthful to gain sustained strength, while fully concentrated breathing is like eating and suddenly taking a big bite to gain a short burst of strength.

The difference is that practicing concentrated breathing is much more difficult than taking a big bite of food. Taking a big bite of food only requires you to open your mouth wide and control your mouth muscles, but concentrated breathing does not require you to open your mouth wide and take a big breath of air.

The practice of focused breathing is a bit like sprint training, where you build up your explosive power little by little.

When Shisui first started learning on Friday, he didn't feel any difference from usual. He tried hard to concentrate his breathing but there was no big change.

This situation did not change until the fifth day.

"Breathing of Fire, full concentration, Impatiens claws red!"

Shisui held four kunai in his right hand, and chakra condensed on his palm. In just a moment, all four kunai were covered in flames, and then Shisui quickly shot them out.

Boom boom! !

The kunai with fiercely burning flames were like small fireballs. They exploded after hitting the ground, creating small pits.

"Unsealed release? Shisui, how did you do it?" Obito beside him couldn't help but ask curiously.

During a combat exam, Obito once condensed flames from his palms to attack Might Guy. If we only use the definition of ninjutsu, that can barely be considered a non-series ninjutsu, because it also involved the change in the nature of chakra.

But in fact, what Obito used was just an ordinary nature-changing technique. The flame was just an ordinary flame without any other effects. He also couldn't increase the power by increasing the chakra because it would easily burn himself.

If we use the Ninja World's learning level standards to rank him, Obito is at most D-level, which is not the same level as the unmarked balsam paw red that Shisui just showed.

"It's not a true unleashed release, it's just a trick using full concentration breathing." Shisui replied.

"Generally speaking, using the throat to gather chakra to release Fire Style is safer and easier to concentrate, while using the hands is more dangerous and slower..."

People in the ninja world have a chakra meridian system and 361 chakra points throughout the body, but the difficulty of condensing chakra and changing its properties is actually different in different parts of the body.

The reason why so many fire techniques are performed with the mouth is because using hands and feet is not only inefficient but also easy to hurt yourself.

The changes of different properties will also be different. For example, Lightning Release and Fire Release are different. Many Lightning Releases are released by condensing chakra in the hands or arms.

"The problem of the speed of property change can be solved through the breathing of fire. In addition, the number of shurikens can be reduced to reduce the demand for the total amount of flame. Finally, I actually made a seal." Shisui showed his left hand to Obito. He had just made a seal with one hand.

The essence of hand seals is to guide ninjutsu. After being weakened and with the help of Breath of Fire, he barely managed to form hand seals with one hand and release the Phoenix Claw Red.

"You can actually make hand seals with one hand?" Obito was surprised.

Snapped!

Mu Yue put two fingers together and hit Obito.

"You forgot what I said before as soon as you saw it." Mu Yue said as he rubbed Obito's hair.

"The essence of hand seals is to guide the release of ninjutsu. As long as you have enough knowledge of ninjutsu, you can not only make hand seals with one hand, but also reduce the number of hand seals or even release without hand seals." Mu Yue reminded.

Mu Yue's words reminded Obito of some relevant memories.

Mu Yue seemed to have mentioned that one could make seals with one hand and in simplified forms. Mu Yue also demonstrated to them the complete seal and the Haolonghuo seal with only one seal.

After hearing this that day, he excitedly tried it, but found that not only was the hand seal not faster with one hand, but the ninjutsu also failed to be released.

After making no progress for several days, Obito stopped trying, thinking it would be better to practice normally. After all, he had never heard of any strong man who became famous by forming hand seals with one hand.

"Hehe, actually I just wanted to test Shisui to see if he has forgotten what you, Mr. Muyue, taught him." Obito said pretentiously.

Shisui:…

"It's a good idea. Although the power and attack range are smaller than the normally released Impatiens Claw Red, the release speed is faster, and it may have unexpected effects at close range." Mu Yue said.

If someone thrusts a knife in Shisui's face and thinks he doesn't have time to unleash a ninjutsu, then Shisui suddenly unleashes a fire jutsu with a single hand seal, which would be difficult for him to dodge.

"Teacher Mu Yue, can you please tell me how to make seals with one hand?" Obito looked at Mu Yue expectantly and said, he wanted to release the Impatiens Claw Red with one hand like Shisui.

Obito feels that it would be very cool to use it in actual combat.

During the battle, he calmly took out four kunai, and before the enemy could react, he instantly formed seals with one hand and threw out four flaming kunai. The enemy was pierced by the flaming kunai and exploded to death, and he put his hands in his pockets and turned around after throwing the kunai.

"Seeing such a handsome scene, Xiaolin will definitely say with admiration, 'Obito, you are so awesome,'" Obito imagined in his heart.

"Actually, I have already said everything that needs to be said before, and I will say it again today. You still need to become more familiar with ninjutsu and practice it yourself. It is difficult to learn just by listening." Mu Yue said.

How to explain the one-handed seal? It's like asking a right-handed person to practice calligraphy with his left hand or write calligraphy with both hands. The teacher can't possess the person to teach him.

However, the hand seal technique does have considerable practical value in actual combat. If you wear a robe, you can hide the hand that is making the seal and secretly make seals to release ninjutsu.

It sounds a bit vulgar, but it is actually very practical in battle. Since the enemy cannot see your hand seals, even if their keen perception detects that you might be about to use a ninjutsu, they will not know what ninjutsu you are using.

Experienced strong people can tell what type of ninjutsu it is by observing the hand seals, because the hand seals of ninjutsu of different attributes also have corresponding characteristics. For example, the last seal of fire escape is usually the tiger seal.

"Yeah, I'll practice more." Obito nodded quickly like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Shisui, can you share your achievements and experiences with me?" Obito then looked at Shisui.

"I don't have any successful experience because I forgot what Teacher Mu Yue taught me." Shisui replied.

"Ah?" Obito showed a surprised expression, then remembered what he had just said.

"Haha, I forgot. How could you forget, Shisui? Didn't you use it just now?" Obito quickly admitted his mistake.

Shisui was just joking, and since his companion looked so expectant, he certainly wouldn't refuse.

"If you want to make a breakthrough in hand seals, practicing ninjutsu is essential. In addition, your current level is not high enough and you need the assistance of breathing techniques. Try to practice both at the same time." Mu Yue began teaching.

Then Obito began his journey of forming hand seals with one hand.

The first performance was a bit awkward. Obito completed the hand seal with one hand, but when he threw the shuriken, no fire came out.

Obito and Shisui asked for advanced experience.

Looking at the messy shurikens on the ground, Shisui seemed a little silent. He encountered a blind spot in his knowledge. He had never encountered this situation before.

At this moment, he was wondering why someone would throw out the red shuriken with the Impatiens Claw before the fire came out. Generally, people would spray fire first and then throw the shuriken.

Shisui thought for a long time but couldn't figure out how he could make a mistake at this step, so he said:

"How about Obito, you try making hand seals with both hands first to familiarize yourself with them before practicing with one hand?"

"Good idea!" Obito thought it was a good idea.

He formed seals with both hands naturally and smoothly to complete the ninjutsu, and more than a dozen flaming shurikens fell to the ground together.

Obito recalled the memory of making hand seals with both hands just now and tried to complete the hand seals with one hand.

The second time he formed hand seals and performed ninjutsu with one hand, this time fire spurted out from his hand, almost burning Obito himself.

"Haha, I was just thinking that Shisui was using his hands, so I forgot the steps." Obito explained with a smile.

Shisui seemed to have discovered the reason why Obito was unable to form hand seals with one hand.

"It is more difficult to form seals with one hand than with two hands. You need to concentrate more and not let your mind wander." Mu Yue reminded.

It will naturally be more difficult to complete with one hand what you need to do with both hands.

Two hours later, Obito became more skilled at gathering chakra with his palms, but he was not successful in forming seals with one hand for the time being.

After the training, everyone went home, but Shisui was the only one who went home. After everyone else went home, they gathered in the southern forest.
