Another month has passed since the family training.
Tenyu and Maki were indeed a bit more settled at the Ninja School.
Unfortunately, it was only a surface-level calm.
Their pranks had taught them a few things; Konohamaru was being relentlessly tormented.
Even though Konohamaru was inwardly certain that the two were pranking him, he couldn't find any evidence.
But Satoru wasn't having an easy time.
He had been caught and brought to the Hokage Office several times in a row, simply because Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was observing his grandson, caught the two children's pranks.
It was infuriating.
They were incorrigible.
No, they had changed, but not perfectly.
The two children, believing they would be discovered, thought they must have missed something. After reading some specialised knowledge in his study, they continued their mischief.
Their actions became increasingly covert, sometimes even evading the Third Hokage's observation.
But it was useless.
Some things only require inference, not evidence.
The Third Hokage wouldn't blame the children, but he would blame their father.
He, Satoru, was no longer a flower of Konoha, but a withered bloom.
"Damn it, Third Hokage, given your temperament, shouldn't you be talking to the children yourself?
Why the hell do you always come to me?"
Satoru was speechless.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's temperament shouldn't be like this. Was he trying to get revenge because Satoru always showed off how well-behaved his children were in front of him?
It couldn't be.
The Third Hokage was very fond of children.
He looked up at the sky, speechless.
He arrived at Training Ground 77 again.
Today was Guy Team's day off, and he was guest-teaching again.
After a month of training,
Heaven's Descent, Spirit of Water, and Land's Awakening had completed their psychological transformation.
The improvements in their focus and body control also made it easier for them to use Chakra.
Under Might Guy's guidance, they even easily completed tree climbing and water walking training.
This was the effect of improved focus.
When focus improves, whether it's Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, or Shuriken, learning efficiency increases significantly.
"Satoru Sensei is here! What kind of training are we doing today?"
Lee saw Satoru and immediately ran over, smiling as he asked.
These past few days, he had already felt the effects of Satoru sensei's training.
During his Taijutsu training, he was able to get into a better state, easily identify flaws in his force application, and adjust his movements accordingly.
Combined with Teacher Guy's guidance, he learned faster than before.
"The previous training no longer has much effect on you.
From now on, we will undergo new training, training that Guy absolutely cannot do.
It's also the reason Might Guy invited me; everything before was just the basics of a Ninja."
Satoru said.
"Basics?"
Tenten's jaw dropped. That kind of training was considered basic? Then what was taught at the Ninja School?
Even Neji had to admit that Satoru's training was indeed very useful for a Ninja.
Recently, he had stopped thinking about things like fate and instead wanted to become stronger to cope with Satoru's training.
The Hyuga did not have the resources for him to undergo Satoru's kind of training.
"You've worked hard, Satoru. After training, I'll treat everyone to barbecue."
Might Guy said with a smile.
"What kind of training is it, please?" Lee asked.
"This training is called the Ninja Thousand Ninja Slashes training.
I specifically developed it to train you, Genin.
Or rather, it's a benefit for graduating Genin. You're lucky that Might Guy invited me over just after I finished developing it."
Satoru said with a solemn look in his eyes.
Training the younger generation was just an excuse; his goal was still everyone's physical information.
Only with enough data could the body evolve more perfectly.
Ordinary people also have many special talents.
Just like his own sensory talent, other ordinary Ninja also have Ninja with special talents.
And there are also the various great families of Konoha; this excuse was simply perfect.
"Ninja Thousand Ninja Slashes?
Does that mean we have to kill a thousand Ninja?
That's too outrageous!!!" Tenten was stunned again.
According to the data, only a few thousand Ninja died in Konoha during the Third Ninja World War. Where would they find so many ninjas to kill?
Neji's eyes also narrowed. He didn't think it was the same as Tenten's guess, but the guess wouldn't be too far off.
Satoru's training was so abnormal, other training couldn't be low-level.
"Thousand Ninja Slashes, this training sounds so cool!" Lee's eyes sparkled.
He was already addicted to training, and hearing about unheard-of training made him even more excited.
"Might Guy, you're responsible for helping them remember their mistakes as an observer. After the training, you'll debrief them."
Satoru pulled six Kunai from his Ninja tool pouch. Each Kunai had a talisman tied to its end.
Whoosh whoosh~
The six Kunai were stuck around the training ground, forming a circle.
He began to make hand seals.
And Might Guy watched intently, Satoru was going to use a new Ninjutsu again!
"Genjutsu: Battlefield Simulation."
Finally, he clapped his hands together, and the talismans on the six Kunai around them glowed. With the Chakra activated and connected, a huge illusory barrier rose.
The three youngsters were still anticipating what kind of training it would be, and what Ninjutsu Satoru would unleash.
Suddenly, all three sat down simultaneously.
"Where is this?"
Neji was the first to wake up, finding himself in a forest.
Wasn't he on the training ground?
Byakugan: Activate.
Whoosh whoosh!
As soon as he activated his Byakugan, several Shuriken flew from the shadows.
Neji dodged with his footwork, and his Byakugan instantly caught the enemy.
It was an enemy wearing an Iwagakure forehead protector, with a face full of pockmarks.
Seeing Neji dodge the Shuriken, he smiled slightly while making hand seals.
Poof!
A Kunai pierced through the ground and stabbed towards his lower body.
Swish!
Neji reacted extremely quickly, grabbing the hand holding the Kunai at the critical moment. The Gentle Fist's Chakra invaded his body, instantly destroying the opponent's internal organs.
A head that had just emerged from the ground spat blood and died.
Boom~
"Damn it."
The Ninja ignited an explosive tag, instantly blowing Neji into pieces.
Lacking experience, he hadn't anticipated the enemy's suicidal attack method.
After a distortion, Neji reappeared.
He looked at his hands and feet, then at his surroundings.
"I'm not dead. It seems I really fell into Satoru Sensei's Genjutsu just now.
The so-called Thousand Ninja Slashes, is it really about killing a thousand Ninja within a Genjutsu?"
The moment he noticed the different environment, he deduced that he had fallen into a Genjutsu.
Combining Satoru's words before the training began, he realised the general direction of the training when the enemy attacked for the first time.
However, looking at the environment that was identical to reality, even a Genjutsu that his Byakugan couldn't find a flaw in,
He still found it incredible.
His Byakugan was actually countered by a Genjutsu.
Normally, as long as the Byakugan was activated, no Genjutsu could hide.
But this time, it was as if there was no difference from the real world.
Within his own Genjutsu, Satoru felt Neji's emotions and general thoughts, and a smile appeared in his heart.
Nonsense. To counter the Byakugan, he used barrier Ninjutsu to amplify it and specifically added extra elements to the Genjutsu. How could it be seen through by the Byakugan?
Unless your ocular power is comparable to the Tenseigan, okay?
Or a Byakugan of higher purity.
Having collected Neji's physical information, he naturally had a pre-made Genjutsu to conceal the Byakugan.
The Thousand Ninja Slashes training was a series of battles within the Genjutsu world.
The opponents in these battles were himself, as well as numerous Ninja experiences he had read about with the Mind Reading Technique, processed, and then manifested as Ninja.
It encompassed all aspects of a Ninja's abilities from various perspectives.
The combat experiences also varied.
This Genjutsu also included physical Genjutsu deception. Even within the Genjutsu, the body in the outside world would, under his Genjutsu's deception, acquire corresponding physical memories.
Although it was only about 30% of the memory, for those who were still Genin, its effect was still very significant.
Under such circumstances, he could only achieve a two-times time flow in the Genjutsu space.
"With this, I can give it as a graduation gift to every graduating class of the Ninja School in the future,
and silently collect the students' physical information. I'm simply a genius."
