RNP Chapter 52, Part 3
Chapter 52, Part 3
The following day, Saturday.
It's time for the training course again.
Xingyuan Qianshuo stood on the podium, his gaze sweeping across the entire classroom.
42 people were expected to attend, and 43 people actually attended.
"Obito, you should sit in the last row," Hoshino Senju said helplessly.
"Yes, teacher..." Obito stood up reluctantly.
He had originally planned to squeeze into the seat behind Lin, and even gave his milk to the classmate next to him named Da Mu as a condition for the arrangement.
But at this moment, Da Mu sat upright, his eyes fixed straight ahead, showing no intention of returning the milk.
"What a blunder..." Obito muttered to himself, dejectedly walking towards the last row.
Xingyuan Qianshuo took all of this in view, but said nothing.
This kid doesn't get enough setbacks in his daily life, so he easily gets stuck on things once he suffers a setback.
If Nohara Rin had simply rejected him and distanced herself from him, he might have already awakened the Sharingan.
"There won't be a test today," Xingyuan Qianshuo said casually. "I believe you've all studied diligently."
"ah--"
"well……"
"I even stayed up all night studying yesterday!"
Instead of cheering, the students let out a collective sigh of disappointment.
Everyone spent so much time preparing, only to have the teacher casually say "there won't be a test," which is really discouraging.
"Oh?" A sly glint flashed in Xingyuan Qianshuo's eyes. "Looks like everyone's really looking forward to the test. Well then, it's a deal, we'll definitely take the test next Saturday, absolutely."
The classroom was immediately filled with complaints, which Xingyuan Qianshuo saw with a slight smile.
After the students had finished complaining, he raised his hand to signal them to be quiet and continued, "Those of you who have learned how to climb trees by now, please raise your hands."
With a whoosh, the whole classroom raised its hands.
As expected of an "elite" selected through rigorous screening, it is truly remarkable that someone of this age could master tree climbing skills in just two weeks of spare time.
Xingyuan Qianshuo's sharp eyes swept across the entire room, and he noticed that there were still two people who had not raised their hands and were looking down, not daring to meet his gaze.
"Very good, put it down." He said gently, "Everyone has put in a lot of effort during this time, and they deserve praise."
Feeling the teacher's approval, the students all showed joyful expressions.
"Those of you who haven't succeeded yet, don't be discouraged." He specifically looked at the two students who were rather thin. "In terms of chakra control, you are already among the best in your class. It's just that there are still differences in physical strength. As long as you keep training, you will definitely succeed."
"Well then," he changed the subject, "we did an ink separation exercise last class. Those who have done it, please raise your hands."
This time, significantly fewer people raised their hands, only about one-third.
Surprisingly, the two students who hadn't learned to climb trees were among them.
"Very good." Xingyuan Qianshuo nodded approvingly. "I saw that the students who failed to climb the tree also raised their hands, which shows that everyone has their own strengths and is very hardworking."
He looked around the class, his tone becoming serious:
"Chakra is a fusion of physical and spiritual energy, and its refinement and utilization are greatly influenced by one's mental state. Therefore, one should not be too tense during training, but rather focus and relax."
"The ink in ink is a particulate solid. Although it is extremely fine, it can be sensed and absorbed through the precise manipulation of chakra. The key is to accurately capture and aggregate them during the process of stirring the ink."
"Remember, do not tense your body and mind, and do not rely solely on brute force. Everything lies in the skill of controlling chakra, in the ability to master it."
The true teaching can be summarized in a single sentence.
Xingyuan Qianshuo believed he had taught everything he knew, and how much the students could grasp depended on their individual talent and effort.
After reviewing the key points from before, he continued to explain "Poison Identification and Detoxification Techniques".
In the second lesson, he taught the "Collection of Formulas for Military Food Pills", which covered multiple aspects such as material identification, medicinal properties learning, grinding and processing, and proportioning methods.
Soldier pills are an indispensable supply for ninjas when carrying out missions, as they can quickly replenish energy and restore physical strength.
However, excessive use can burden the body, especially for young ninjas who are still developing.
The recipes for military ration pills vary, and different ingredients are added depending on the specific needs.
In the original work, Sakura made a very potent soldier pill to reward Naruto for training "Wind Release: Rasenshuriken" - although the taste was not exactly pleasant.
Due to limited class time, he did not lead the students in actual production, but only explained the commonly used proportion formulas and demonstrated the material processing methods and production points.
For most ninjas, soldier pills are a regular item that can be purchased at ninja tool shops.
Making things yourself is time-consuming and laborious, just like cooking. You can make it, but it may not taste good. It's easy to learn but hard to master.
For the remaining two classes, Xingyuan Qianshuo led 43 students back to the third training ground.
As expected, he saw Matt Kai doing frog jumps on the water.
He looked around but did not see Matt Day.
I wonder if this senior, whom he asked to suspend training, has gone off to take on those "finding cats and dogs" missions again.
"Kai." Xingyuan Qianshuo greeted him from afar.
"Hello, Teacher Qian Shuo!" Kai immediately stopped training, ran over quickly, and greeted him with great enthusiasm.
"How was the water training?"
"It's much harder than on land!" Kai wiped his sweat, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "But I can now complete all the training exercises on the water!"
The students had already seen this "strange person" in the green bodysuit during their last tree-climbing training, so they weren't surprised by him now.
They knew this was a classmate who had graduated early and was now a genin, making him, in a sense, their "senior".
Obito, standing in the crowd, kept looking around, afraid that Kakashi might suddenly appear from some corner.
After confirming that the annoying guy was really not there, he was in a great mood and went up to talk to Kai.
"Kai, are you alone today? Where's Kakashi?"
"Kakashi went on a mission," Guy replied, then added, "It's a mission outside the village!"
Kai, who just graduated this year, has never left the village and is full of curiosity and longing for everything outside the village.
"Hmph, I'd like to challenge him to a match." Upon hearing that Kakashi wasn't in the village, Obito immediately straightened his back.
Xingyuan Qianshuo ignored their conversation and led the team to a shallow area of the river.
It was nearly 10 a.m., and the sun was shining brightly, making it a perfect time for water training.
"Those who have already learned how to tread water, please raise your hands," he asked after the students had all gathered.
"Hyuga Tetsuya and Kito, step forward."
He wasn't surprised that Hyuga Tetsu had learned to walk on water beforehand; but he was taken aback that Kito also knew this skill—perhaps he had a ninja elder in his family who had trained him in advance.
Xingyuan Qianshuo then beckoned Kai over and arranged for him to assist in leading the training along with Hyuga Tetsu and Kito.
Although this takes up Kai's personal training time, teaching others often helps him improve as well, especially in building greater self-confidence.
"Treading water requires a continuous and stable release of chakra from the soles of your feet. You'll need to figure out and adjust the exact amount yourself. This is also a way to train your precise control over chakra."
After Xingyuan Qianshuo finished speaking, he formed the "Wei" hand seal with one hand, gathered chakra in the soles of his feet, and then walked leisurely onto the water as if walking on flat ground.
After the demonstration, he divided the students into four groups of ten, each led by himself, Kai, Hyuga Tetsu, and Kito, who then conducted water training in turn.
The extra auditor, Obito, didn't wait for any assignments and squeezed into Rin's group on his own initiative. His sycophantic attitude of "I'm going to follow Rin" was undisguised, which attracted many disdainful glances.
The students walked onto the water one after another like dumplings being dropped into boiling water, their steps unsteady, and every now and then someone would fall into the water with a "plop," splashing up a lot of water, which made everyone laugh.
The training ground was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
Time always flies when you're training outdoors.
The two classes ended in the blink of an eye, and the students were still eager for more. Many of them had already made plans to come back in the afternoon to practice wading in the water again.
After saying goodbye to the students, Xingyuan Qianshuo specially invited Kai to have a curry pork chop rice meal to thank him for his help that morning.
[You have completed the third training course of the Medical Specialty Class. Evaluation: S. Reward: Chakra +500]
"Not bad, I still got an S rating even without Tsunade to hold things off." Hoshino Senju checked the system information and thought to himself, "It's a pity that the +500 chakra reward isn't so appealing anymore."
