Chapter 14: Ch. 14. The Consumption of [Substitution Technique: Displacement]. [1]
Sasuke's eyes only saw [Substitution Technique: Displacement]:
- "How far do I need to practice before I can learn [Substitution Technique: Displacement]?"
Mizuki:
- "Whenever your chakra control ability allows you to perform one-handed seals, you can learn to transform."
Sasuke's eyes widened, as if he had opened the door to a new world:
- "One-hand seal? Can one hand also seal?"
Mizuki explained:
- "As chakra control increases, the release of ninjutsu will become easier and easier."
- "When your chakra control ability reaches a certain level, you can form a seal with one hand."
-"When the chakra control ability continues to become stronger, you can simplify the seals, such as the [Fire Style: Fire Ball Technique]. The order of seals is [Serpent-Ram-Monkey-Boar-Horse-Tiger, a total of 6 seals. After simplifying, there is no need to form seals. Clap your hands to release the ninjutsu."
Sasuke was stunned:
- "Create a seal with one hand, or even be able to release ninjutsu without forming a seal. Can anyone really do it?"
He didn't believe it.
Mizuki smiled and said:
- "One-handed seal, as far as I know, the fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato can do it."
- "As for the direct release of ninjutsu without forming seals, there are also some, such as the First Hokage Senju Hashirama."
- "Oh, by the way, your classmate, Uzumaki Naruto, can also do the same thing as Senju Hashirama. He claps his hands and shouts what does he want.
Sasuke looked at Mizuki, thinking he was joking:
- "Don't be kidding me. Naruto is a bad guy. He can't use the [Clone Technique] well. He can't even graduate. You think he can release ninjutsu without forming seals?"
Mizuki smiled without explaining.
Sasuke asked again:
- "I only practice climbing trees and treading water, I'm afraid I still can't do the one-handed seal."
Mizuki nodded and said:
- "Learning to climb trees and tread water is still far away. You need to practice consciously. For example, control the chakra to change forms, form a spiral in the palm of your hand, or turn into the shape of a small animal."
- "In short, your purpose is to make chakra absolutely listen to you."
Although Mizuki spoke in general terms, Sasuke already had a goal and direction in his heart.
Mizuki:
- "Okay, practice it yourself."
Mizuki only accepts disciples for the sake of rewards from the system. He does not really regard Naruto, Sasuke, etc. as disciples, nor does he have any intention of growing them into talents.
So, just train by yourself. You already have the benefits of being a Sensei. I have no interest in supervising and guiding.
This is called, the Sensei leads you in, and growth's depends on the individual.
He also told Sasuke not to make the [Substitution Technique: Displacement]. public, and then turned around and left.
As he walked, he thought, Sasuke had another chance to return the favor.
Mizuki:
- "So, what to give?"
- "How about a bowl of ramen like Naruto?"
Last night's use of [Substitution Technique: Displacement]. consumed one-third of his chakra.
This made him realize that he had slightly more chakra than Kakashi, but it was still not enough.
Mizuki:
- "My current total amount of chakra is about 1.1 Kakashi chakra. Using one use of [Substitution Technique: Displacement]. consumes about 0.37 Kakashi's chakra."
The consumption is huge.
Moreover, he also speculated that the cost of apparating was probably related to the distance.
The further the distance, the greater the consumption.
Mizuki:
- "Find a place to try it at night and see if there is any relationship between consumption and distance."
He would not use mutant ninjutsu in broad daylight.
Firstly, someone was secretly watching, and secondly, the Third Hokage's telescope skills were undetectable.
Swagger uses [Substitution Technique: Displacement], and Sandaime will know it in minutes.
Based on the principle that doing more is worse than doing less, Mizuki thought it would be better to be cautious.
Only at night, when he tests the effects of his ninjutsu in the dark and under the fire, can he feel safe.
Mizuki:
- "There is also the air-stepping practice method. You have to find time to practice it."
- "Standing on the air with your feet, rising step by step, it sounds awesome."
Everything will wait until night.
Today, the graduates took photos to register ninja information. The ninja school was on holiday. Mizuki got rid of having nothing to do and ran to the river outside the village to fish.
In his previous life, he was a fishing enthusiast. He fished in winter and summer, and never slept or ate.
Even if you travel through time, you can't lose your hobbies.
And his reasons are very good.
Mizuki:
- "I have a system, so I don't need to practice. If I don't fish, what else can I do?"
- "You can eat the fish you catch, boiled fish, pickled fish, grilled fish... you can save a lot of money on buying food. If you can't finish it, you can sell it to support your family. Therefore, fishing is a great career with a bright future."
In the Hokage Building, Hokage's office, Sandaime was sitting behind his desk, smoking his pipe.
The newly graduated ninja's level file was ready and he could deal with other things.
There was a knock on the door, and Third Hokage said:
- "Come in!"
The door opened, Nara Shikaku walked in and closed the door smoothly:
- "Sandaime-sama, are you looking for me?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and said:
- "Shikaku, I have a task for you."
He took out the fake chakra control pill and said:
- "This pill can improve a ninja's control over chakra, but it is only effective for ninjas from the Senju and Uzumaki clan."
- "Yesterday, Uzumaki Naruto ate two pills, and his chakra control ability was greatly improved, reaching the level of the First Hokage. He can directly release ninjutsu without forming seals."
Shikaku was shocked and asked in disbelief:
- "Sandaime-sama, are you kidding me?"
- "With just two pills, you can make a kid's chakra control reach the level God of Shinobi. This is absolutely impossible."
The Third Hokage looked serious and said:
- "It's true."
Shikaku didn't know what to say for a moment.
He told Shikaku what happened yesterday, including Naruto's performance, the origin of the elixir, Mizuki's words, and last night's test.
Third Hokage:
- "I personally tested it last night. The powder scraped from the surface of this elixir reacted when it encountered Naruto's blood. But when it encountered other blood, there was no reaction. It was exactly as Mizuki said."
