"Uchiha Seiji actually won?"
"So... so strong."
"No, the bet just now doesn't count. This was an accident..."
After a brief silence, there was a more heated discussion.
Some students even made bets on who would win between Seiji and Obito.
"Hey, you want to default on your debt?"
"Okay, I'll give you my treasured magazines." (??? Aren't they kids?)
…
Beating a dead last won't be much of a shock normally.
However, an "ordinary person" who can only roughly refine chakra and has only trained for a few days can defeat the prepared ninja students.
The implications of this are thought-provoking.
Years of practice are not as good as others' starting point of just a few days of training.
The students in the class all put a new label on Seiji.
A Physical genius.
The most terrifying thing is that they heard that Uchiha Seiji has opened his eyes at this age and can use the power of the Sharingan.
In addition to the Uchiha clan's famous talent for fire escape, no one knows whether Seiji also has such talent in other aspects.
"I didn't expect this guy to be okay."
Asuma spoke up.
"Yes."
Kurenai nodded.
Her pair shiny red eyes stared at Seiji.
Her long, curly black hair swayed gently in the wind and fell on her face.
"What about his Genjutsu talent?"
Kurenai murmured.
"Um, what?"
Asuma didn't hear clearly.
"Nothing."
Kurenai shook her head.
"Okay, don't be discouraged, Obito. Keep training hard and try next time."
Kaito went forward to check on Obito's condition, and when he opened his mouth, he saw some minor injuries, so he comforted Obito with a few words.
"Humph, I just didn't perform well this time!"
Obito was so angry when he thought about losing face in front of Rin.
"It's okay, Obito, you've tried your best."
Rin also comforted Obito.
Hearing Rin's comfort, Obito's expression became happy again.
"It's a shame that Seiji doesn't come to practice Taijutsu with me."
Might Guy looked extremely regretful.
"If he were to join me in the special training of youth, he would definitely gain a lot."
"No, you'll harm him and his reputation."
Kakashi shuddered at the thought of an Uchiha wearing green tights and a watermelon-head hairstyle.
"Uchiha Seiji..."
Kakashi muttered.
He had had enough of the fighting and childish chaos in the ninja school.
The idea of graduating early was becoming stronger and stronger.
His father, White Fang of Konoha, is famous in the whole ninja world, but he was wasting his time here.
When he was four years old, some time before he entered the Ninja School, he was able to fully unleash the Earth Style: Earth Wave.
He also participated in a ninjutsu release competition, won first place, and received a silver kunai as a prize.
"If Uchiha Seiji can graduate early, it would be nice to be his partner in the same year."
Kakashi thought so.
Seiji returned to the crowd and dealt with everyone's conversations.
"Lightning Release: Iron Block" is very useful.
He could feel his growth rate increasing.
Just now during the battle with Obito, Seiji could clearly feel that he was more flexible than the day before.
"Lightning Release: Iron Block" can concentrate the lightning chakra on some muscle fibers under the skin, and through a specific chakra release frequency, the electric current can penetrate into the deep layers of each muscle.
The electric current stimulates the activity of fast-twitch muscle fibers, triggering the protein synthesis mechanism within the fibers, causing the muscle cells to expand rapidly.
This will make Seiji more effective than traditional exercises.
The disadvantage is that it cannot exercise the internal organs and bones, and at most it can increase the toughness and certain defense of the skin surface.
It is enough for Seiji's use at the moment.
At present, he has not yet mastered this technique. He has simply tried the method on the scroll on local muscle fibers.
Once he has mastered this technique thoroughly, his body will quickly become stronger.
Next, Kaito started calling the next group to practice sparring.
Seiji continued to quietly practice "Lightning Release: Iron Block" in the crowd, guiding the lightning chakra in his body.
If someone from the Hyuga Clan were to use their Byakugan to see through his meridian system, they would be able to see a circle of weak electric current that was constantly radiating and spreading outward from the meridian system.
He is getting stronger bit by bit.
The current Seiji can easily defeat himself who had just arrived in Konoha more than a month ago!
...
Dusk.
There are still many people in the third training ground.
At the edge of the third training ground, next to a small river.
"Today, we're going to talk about treading water."
Rin told Seiji what they'll be doing next.
Kakashi and Obito are also there.
Obito crossed his arms, deliberately moved away from Seiji and moved closer to Rin.
Kakashi's expression remained expressionless beneath the black mask as he listened quietly to Rin's explanation.
He understands all these things.
The reason why he stayed here for several consecutive days was that he found that Seiji was making progress every day.
Sometimes, the ability to improve is a gift.
It is normal to work hard but still stagnate.
"This is much more difficult than climbing a tree. How will Seiji deal with it?"
Kakashi's eyes turned to Seiji.
When climbing a tree, one just need to gather the chakra to the corresponding part and maintain it at a certain amount.
Since the tree won't move, one just needs to be able to stick to it.
This is the most basic and important point for a ninja, to master how to produce a certain amount of chakra.
When it comes to treading water, that is, if one wants to keep their feet on the water without sinking, they have to "continuously" release an appropriate amount of chakra.
And this amount must be just enough to support the body.
This requires maintaining a certain amount of chakra, and tests the ninja's ability to gather chakra on the soles of the feet for a long time.
"When a ninja refines chakra, he is basically constantly moving. In this situation, it is extremely difficult to "control" and "maintain" chakra, so it is important to lay a good foundation."
Rin spoke very seriously.
It's obvious that she has been listening to the lecture and has memorized all the knowledge.
"Oh, I see."
Obito, who often daydreamed in class, discovered that Rin had just talked about a lot of things, many of which included theoretical knowledge that he didn't know of.
Obito turned his head and glanced at Kakashi.
Kakashi's expression didn't change.
Obviously, like Nohara Rin, he knows this knowledge.
He looked at Seiji again, only to see that he seemed to be thinking about something.
Oh no, he couldn't be the only one who was confused by what he heard!
Obito's heart tightened.
He decided to brush up on his knowledge after he gets home.
"Let me demonstrate."
Rin took off her shoes and stepped her delicate feet on the slowly flowing water, creating circles of tiny ripples.
She took a few steps, her posture very steady.
"Take off your shoes. It will somehow easier."
Rin gave another little trick.
Without wearing shoes, all they need to do is concentrate their chakra on the soles of their feet.
When wearing shoes, they also need to consider the thickness of the shoes and their conductivity to chakra.
"Mm."
Seiji took a few steps forward and took off Uchiha's long robe and the shoes, leaving only a long sleeve lining.
He formed seals with his hands, gathered a certain amount of chakra, and began to try to stand on the water.
