Chapter 123 Teaching
"It doesn't sound difficult at all." Yahiko touched his chin, but immediately his face turned pale.
Although his strength was considered good, and although Sensei Jiraiya did not teach them any ninjutsu unique to Konoha, Jiraiya had never neglected ninja training such as climbing trees and treading water.
They have all received this kind of practice.
It took Yahiko many days to master the treading water training, but he could only stand steadily when the water was relatively calm.
If it were a rough sea or a turbulent lake, he couldn't say that he could really walk on flat ground.
As for stepping on air?
He had never even heard of this kind of practice!
If Lu Nie had not demonstrated it just now, he would have regarded this method of practice as a foolish dream or a deception.
Who can really use chakra to step on the air and walk in the air? It would be better to develop a flying secret like Xiaonan.
"Being able to step on the air and master it skillfully means that your control over chakra is far beyond that of all ordinary ninjas." Lu Nie looked at Yahiko who rolled his eyes and spread his hands.
"Do you think I have this talent?" Yahiko looked at his hands. Why didn't he think he had this talent?
"You definitely didn't have it before." Lu Nie's words disrupted Yahiko's thoughts, "But I made some modifications to your body."
"Don't bring up such a scary topic as transformation so openly in front of me." Yahiko looked at his whitened arm, wanting to cry but without the tears.
Although he knew that Lu Nie meant well, it was still a sad thing for him that 60% of his body tissue was no longer original.
"To practice your ninja way, you need strength, don't you?" Lu Nie glanced at him: "I thought Hanzo had already engraved this concept deeply into your mind."
Hanzo!
Nagato, who was watching the bickering between Kane and Yahiko, suddenly lost his smile.
If there is one person that they hate with abhorrence, Hanzo is undoubtedly the only answer.
Their current situation, the injuries they suffered and the torture they endured were all related to Hanzo.
The patron saint of the Rain Country, regarded as a spiritual leader by most of the people and ninjas of the Rain Country, who once single-handedly carried the strong men of the two major ninja villages of Konoha and Sunagakure, stabbed them in the back.
If they can't deal with Hanzo, they won't be able to return to the Rain Kingdom.
"You're right. If I learn to step on the air, can I defeat Hanzo and give him a good beating?" Yahiko was silent for a moment and said with gritted teeth.
If Lu Nie said yes, then he would obviously try his best to practice.
"You have a nice thought." Lu Nie said sarcastically, "It would be fine if Nagato helped you, but you want to beat Hanzo single-handedly. Although judging from the way he attacked you, the ideals he upholds and implements have been shaken and corrupted, he is still the demigod Hanzo now."
"Then what's the use of me learning this?" Yahiko, who was stabbed by Kane, suddenly felt depressed.
"At least I won't let you get killed easily again." Lu Nie said bluntly. "My time is precious. I have to do research and complete tasks assigned by the village. It's still war time!
I don't have much time to waste on you. Anyway, what I promised Jiraiya and Konan was that I would only let you return to normal and exist as a ninja again.
In fact, I have already done it. Your broken body has been completely repaired by me. You only need time for rehabilitation training, and you can become a ninja again, and your strength may be even stronger than before.
I even gave you an undeveloped Wood Release Bloodline and a powerful force. So if I find out that you don't have the talent to practice stepping on air, then I won't waste any more energy on you, understand?"...
A month later.
Anchor Bandian.
In the empty square outside.
Yahiko, whose rehabilitation training has entered the final stage, is following the method taught by Lu Nie. He closes his eyes, mutters to himself, and gathers chakra at his feet.
"…treat the thin air as flowing wind and water, and use chakra to bind them under the soles of your feet…
...distribute the output of chakra, grab and control the natural energy wandering in the air, and fuse them with chakra..."
"Ahhhh!"
The next moment, Yahiko's screams resounded throughout the square. His body was like a deflated balloon, spinning and floating in the air with the sea breeze and the flow of air. When he was about to hit the ground, the ground below him suddenly turned into soft soil, acting as a cushion to protect his falling body.
"Thank you, Nagato."
Pulling his body out of the mud, Yahiko took a breath, and put his hands on the ground not far away, and at the critical moment, he used earth-style ninjutsu to protect Nagato.
"It's okay, you've found the feeling, right?" Nagato shook his head and comforted Yahiko.
"too difficult!"
Yahiko sighed, but returned to his original position, holding his breath once again, concentrating his mind to enter the state of mental clarity and sensitivity that he had finally achieved before.
Yes, he started training to walk on air.
Watching Lu Nie's demonstration and explanation, it sounded easy and simple. But once he actually started practicing, Yahiko deeply felt the almost unreasonable difficulty of this training.
He has been practicing for several days, and all he can do is barely stand in the air in the room for a short time.
As for the outdoors?
The whistling wind was a huge obstacle for him! It often made his body like a leaf being carried by the wind, unable to control his position.
But fortunately, after failing again and again for so long, Yahiko finally grasped the trick that Lu Nie mentioned!
Shape up!
Shape energy and chakra!
What is difficult for other ninjas to do is not difficult for Yahiko now. Just like other ninjas with bloodline limits have special talents in certain aspects, he seems to be born with a talent for controlling chakra and other energies!
He can forge them according to his own wishes!
Just like now, he wanted to use energy to shape the air under his feet into a step, and he could really feel the air under his feet solidified into a solid entity that could be stepped on.
A piece of solid ground that really exists and can provide him with footholds!
piece!
Two pieces!
Yahiko felt like he was climbing up quickly on the stairs of nothingness.
