Chapter 11 Konoha Training Ground
After leaving the barbecue restaurant, the three of them went to the training ground in the back mountain.
"Obito, Lin, starting tonight, we will officially have special training."
Kakashi stopped and turned to look at Obito and Lin.
"Lin, you first use chakra to create a water ball in your hand, and then while maintaining the water ball, use chakra to switch its form back and forth between sphere and cube."
"Eh?"
Lin was a little confused, but she still followed the instructions.
A water ball was formed in her left hand, but something went wrong when she tried to change form.
"So... so difficult!"
After discovering that it was not as easy as she imagined, Lin began to practice seriously on the sidelines.
"Yes, Lin, you practice like this first, and I will tell you the next step of training after you succeed."
"Then Obito, now that you have opened your eyes, let me experience the power of the Sharingan!"
Kakashi said as he formed the Seal of Opposition on Obito.
"Haha, I wish I could win. I will definitely win you this time! Be careful not to get hurt by me, Kakashi!"
Before he finished speaking, Obito suddenly became violent and rushed towards Kakashi with a fist!
However, Kakashi suddenly disappeared from where he was.
By the time Obito reacted, he was already being pinned down by Kakashi with his knees pressed against his spine, and the kunai placed around his neck was exuding a hint of coldness.
"That's it? If it were on the battlefield, you would be dead."
"Don't let me down, Obito!"
Kakashi let go of Obito and looked down at him indifferently.
"Damn it, I haven't started getting serious yet, Sharingan, open!"
Angry, Obito opened his scarlet Sharingan.
He made fists with his hands, holding three kunai between the four fingers of each hand, and clasped the four fingers under the fist with his thumb.
Obito raised his left hand, and three shurikens shot out in an instant, striking Kakashi's throat and eyes in an inverted "pin" shape!
Then the right hand followed, and the three shurikens that arrived first and the first three had a subtle collision.
I saw that the first three shurikens were still in the shape of an inverted "pin", but the last three made an arc and pierced Kakashi's back!
"It's so scary. You'll be killed if you're not careful~"
Kakashi's tone was frivolous, and he took the sword in his left hand and knocked down the six shurikens one by one without unsheathing the sword.
Obito broke through the defense instantly and quickly formed seals with his hands: "Fire Release: The Art of Fireball!"
A huge fireball erupted from his mouth and shot towards Kakashi.
"Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!"
"Zi~"
The collision of fire and water produced a large amount of smoke, and Obito lost his vision for a while.
Just as Obito's eyes moved rapidly and he was wary of his surroundings, he suddenly felt a chill in his tailbone!
At the same time, Kakashi's faint voice came to his ears.
"The Secret of Konoha's Body Technique: Thousand Years of Killing!"
"Pfft~"
Obito's face instantly turned red with blood, and then he flew into the sky with a whoop!
"Tsk, tsk, this is my first time trying it. It turns out this trick works so well."
Kakashi looked up at Obito taking off and couldn't help but sigh.
"Bastard Kakashi!"
Obito, who was holding his back, finally limped back and glared at Kakashi with gritted teeth.
"Well~, have you agreed on a duel? How do you know what moves the enemy will use?"
Kakashi spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and then changed the subject.
"But it's also a good exposure of your problem."
"If you are too emotional during combat and make a few sarcastic remarks, you will lose your fighting rhythm. Your mental endurance must be too weak."
"you!"
Obito was about to get angry when he heard this, but then he thought about it, didn't this prove that Kakashi was right?
So he forced himself to calm down.
"Then what do you think we should do?"
Children can be taught.
Seeing that Obito could calm down and ask for advice, Kakashi nodded slightly.
"Actually, it's very simple. Although the Sharingan gives you an improvement in ability, the sudden surge in power is definitely not easy to control."
"And you lack actual combat experience and have not learned how to use your strength."
"So next I will sparring with you like crazy, you have to be mentally prepared."
"No problem, as long as I can become stronger!"
Obito clenched his fists, his eyes full of fighting spirit.
"Kakashi, I succeeded!"
At this moment, Lin, who was practicing silently, suddenly ran over excitedly.
The water mass in her hand was controlled by her chakra, switching between two geometric shapes freely.
"Well done, as expected of Lin!"
Seeing this scene, Kakashi's eyes turned into crescent moons.
Hearing his compliment, two blushes instantly appeared on Lin's little face, which was very cute.
"The next step is to use two hands to control two water masses at the same time."
"And when the left hand is a sphere, the right hand must be a cube, and vice versa."
“Switch back and forth like this until it’s smooth and comfortable.”
Kakashi taught Rin the subsequent exercises.
Before Lin could nod, Obito asked curiously: "Kakashi, what's the point of asking Lin to do this? It's better to practice ninjutsu directly and improve faster!"
"You are right." Kakashi did not refute, "Learning ninjutsu directly can indeed quickly improve your strength in a short period of time."
"But," Kakashi changed the topic, "With this method, progress will be slower the further you go."
"In order for Water Escape to unleash its astonishing combat power, it needs a huge amount of chakra to support it."
"For example, the Second Hokage, his ability to launch large-scale water escape techniques in a waterless land is the best proof of his huge amount of chakra!"
"The amount of chakra is not Lin's advantage. Lin's natural and precise chakra control is her greatest strength."
"The current practice can further enhance Lin's control over water-type chakra."
"In this way, whether it is reducing the consumption of chakra, increasing the power of ninjutsu, or developing new ninjutsu, you can get twice the result with half the effort."
Kakashi explained patiently.
They are a team.
Understanding the strengths and potential of each teammate and giving full play to their strengths is exactly what he wants to do.
"I understand, I will practice hard!"
Lin raised her fists, her face full of seriousness.
"Xinxi, let's continue."
"Your problem is the most serious now, Obito, don't let Lin look down on you~"
Kakashi, who knew Obito's weaknesses, wanted to take advantage of him, so it wasn't too easy.
"Damn it, don't underestimate me, you bastard Kakashi!"
Sure enough, upon hearing that he would be looked down upon by Lin, Obito was immediately inspired to fight and took the initiative to attack Kakashi.
Although he was knocked down mercilessly again and again, he still gritted his teeth and got up and continued to persevere.
Unknowingly, the night is deep, the moon is high, and everything is silent.
The lights in the village went out one by one, leaving only three thin figures on the training ground still practicing.
