To be honest, this was Akira's first time guiding others in training.
To avoid screwing things up, he took out a pen and paper when he got home and began to write down the steps and costs of his training.
[Teaching Chakra Water-Walking costs 10,000 Ryo.]
[Teaching Chakra Tree-Climbing costs 10,000 Ryo.]
[Demonstrating a punch that crushes gravel, the fee is 2 Ryo.]
[Teaching Chakra Shape Transformation, the fee is 100,000 Ryo.]
[Demonstrating invincible power, the fee is 10 million Ryo.]
After writing the charging items, Akira thought about it carefully and felt that this should be sufficient.
After all, he was just teaching a few rookies, and these few skills were enough.
By the creek.
When Akira arrived with his hands in his pockets, Rin and the others had been waiting for a long time.
"Hey, you're late," Anko pouted in dissatisfaction.
"Huh?"
Akira leaned forward and saw that Anko was holding a small mesh bag with several sets of cool shorts inside.
"Good preparation," Akira complimented.
Then, he looked at Yūgao Uzuki's small cloth bag.
"You can't look at this," Yūgao covered her bag, looking nervous.
"Rin, what about you?" Turning to look at Rin, Akira asked.
"My clothes are already on."
Rin lifted her dress, revealing another outfit underneath.
Akira was covered in black lines (a visual cue for confusion/awkwardness).
"Let me warn you, if you do that, you might have no clothes left to wear in a little while," Akira solemnly reminded her.
"You pervert," Rin muttered, her ears flushing red.
Akira looked puzzled.
Does it have anything to do with being a pervert?
Ignoring Rin's misunderstanding, Akira took out the price list and signaled the three girls to look at it.
"Are you really charging?" Looking at the prices, Anko was confused.
Doesn't Akira have a bathhouse worth hundreds of millions? Why is he so stingy?
"I'm learning Water-Walking," Yūgao didn't object and neatly took out 10,000 Ryo.
"Then, I'll also learn Water-Walking..." Rin was also ready to try.
After all, this was Akira's daily training, so it must have some kind of effect.
"Cut! Don't be fooled by him! Do you really need money to learn Water-Walking? Can't you just practice by yourself?"
Anko couldn't help but interject.
"Did you forget? He fooled Yamato before and turned the little brat into a maniac!"
Being openly called out by Anko, Akira couldn't stand it anymore.
He stepped in front of Anko, face-to-face, staring down the spoiler.
"If you continue to slander me, I'll throw you into the water."
Being this close to Akira, Anko's heart began to pound, and her face flushed red like a monkey's backside.
She hastily tilted her head away.
"You... don't get so close to me! Fine, I'll learn."
In the end, under Akira's strong personal charm, all three women paid for the Water-Walking training project.
"I will only demonstrate once, watch my feet!"
He spoke, and a faint layer of Chakra emerged from the soles of his feet.
Then, he took a step onto the creek.
Step!
It was perfectly smooth.
After walking back and forth across the stream, Akira signaled for the three of them to start.
"Hmph!"
Anko was full of arrogance, imitating Akira's posture and taking a step.
Splash!
In full view, she plunged into the creek.
"I knew it," Akira said, speechless, and fished out the soaking-wet Anko.
The strange thing was that once on the shore, Anko didn't say a word; her face was as red as a tomato.
She grabbed her mesh bag, ran behind a tree, and secretly changed her clothes.
Next up was Yūgao Uzuki.
Thanks to her mastery of basic Medical Ninjutsu, Yūgao's Chakra control was more precise.
However, the first time she tried Water-Walking, she still swayed left and right on the stream.
"I can't! I can't stand still! I'm about to fall!" Yūgao turned pale with shock.
At this point, Akira had to step in again.
He supported Yūgao's waist and motioned for her to keep walking.
The result.
Splash!
Yūgao fell into the water.
"If I didn't help you, you could still take two steps. Why do you fall down when I help you?"
Akira looked puzzled.
Picking up Yūgao, Akira was surprised to find that she was also blushing, and she quickly trotted off with her bag to join Anko behind the tree.
Finally, it was Rin's turn.
"Wait a moment! I'll take off my clothes first."
Behind the tree.
Anko and Yūgao poked their heads out when they heard this.
Then, they watched Rin remove her clothes right in front of Akira.
"Did she do that on purpose?"
"Rin is seriously shameless," the two girls seriously scorned Rin's behavior.
Akira was clearly teaching them Water-Walking, but Rin did that.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, Akira's figure appeared behind the tree as if teleporting.
"Rin really doesn't know how to check if anyone is here. Is it okay for me to hide here for a bit?"
As soon as he finished saying this, Akira was momentarily blinded.
He thought Anko and Yūgao would be done changing their clothes. But who would have thought that these two had just finished taking them off?
"Are you girls always this slow at changing clothes?" Akira asked seriously.
"Ah!!!"
Shouts echoed through the back mountain.
"Ugh, what a bad day," Akira sighed inside the BBQ restaurant.
"Well, let's dig in then!"
Rin, Anko, and Yūgao looked happy and began to enjoy the barbecue.
Akira was forced to treat his guests to make up for the "little misunderstanding" that happened earlier.
"I charged them 30,000 Ryo, but I ended up paying 30,000 Ryo to treat them to barbecue. I broke even."
Akira swore he would never teach anyone how to train again.
Wouldn't it be much nicer to just lie flat in the yard?
"Akira!"
Suddenly, a deep voice sounded.
Akira turned his head and saw Danzō waving to him from a private box.
Inside the box.
Akira sat across from Danzō again.
"I already know everything about your mission." Danzō started with his familiar routine.
"You know all about it, so why are you looking for me?" Akira cursed in his heart.
"So, what does Lord Danzō need from me?" Akira asked with a sincere look.
"Heh heh..." Danzō turned his head to look at the three girls outside, then turned back.
"You're quite good. About three at a time!" he said, a meaningful expression on his face.
Akira: "???"
