Chapter 22: Teacher, I've Got It
"Yesterday, we talked about the history of ninjas and the basics."
Yamada Tsugiyuki stood on the podium and nodded with a smile. "Today, we'll talk about one of the three ninja fundamentals—the basics of ninjutsu!"
As he spoke, Yamada Tsugiyuki raised his right hand high, and a pale blue chakra flame suddenly flared to life!
Compared to yesterday's dull lecture-style overview, Yamada Tsugiyuki believed that today's chakra lesson would definitely ignite the children's enthusiasm!
However, his arm was nearly about to fall off from holding it up, yet not a single child raised their hand to ask a question. Instead, they all crouched strangely under their desks, whispering among themselves…
"What's going on?"
Yamada Tsugiyuki couldn't help frowning, but he didn't immediately scold the little brats.
He, Yamada Tsugiyuki, was no ordinary man. As a self-proclaimed master teacher, he naturally wouldn't use brute force to suppress children.
He firmly believed that to solve a problem, one must first understand the problem!
With that thought, Yamada Tsugiyuki quietly shifted his chakra to his ears. In an instant, the children's discussions flooded in…
"Hey, did you hear? Someone's together with Princess Tsunade."
"No way? That super-strong girl?"
"Yeah, that Li Jie xuan."
"That commoner?"
Within three seconds, Yamada Tsugiyuki's expression changed several times.
Tsunade… is actually together with Li Jie xuan?
Although he had witnessed Li Jie xuan's astonishing flirting skills yesterday, this was just one day later—wasn't this progress a bit too fast?
Thinking of this, Yamada Tsugiyuki froze. In his shock, he couldn't help thinking of himself—nearly thirty years old, still without a girlfriend. Meanwhile, Li Jie xuan, not even four years old, had already won over the highest-status and top-looking girl among all the girls in Konoha—Tsunade…
Comparing people really does make one furious!
"Teacher, since chakra is so important, how exactly should we train it?"
Seeing Yamada Tsugiyuki suddenly space out mid-lecture, Li Jie xuan was practically burning with impatience. The Genin chakra reward sitting in his system inventory was about to grow mold. He had waited a long time for this "legitimization" reward—he couldn't wait even one more second!
Yamada Tsugiyuki paused, then snapped back to his senses. He really had nothing better to do—why was he comparing himself to a child? At such a young age, it was all just childish play anyway…
A faint sour smell suddenly filled the air…
After adjusting his mindset, Yamada Tsugiyuki smiled and continued the lesson. "Chakra, under normal circumstances, is divided into two parts. One is the biological energy contained within the body, and the other is the mental energy accumulated through training."
Li Jie xuan nodded quietly. Back when he read the manga in his previous life, he only had a vague understanding of this. After systematic training, his comprehension was clearly much deeper.
"Under normal circumstances, the chakra naturally contained in our bodies is not enough for us to use ninjutsu."
At this point, the other children's attention was finally drawn back. Yamada Tsugiyuki raised two fingers with satisfaction. "This is when we need to train and accumulate mental energy. Once the sum of these two energies reaches a certain threshold—you will have mastered chakra!"
Hearing this, Li Jie xuan's eyes suddenly lit up. "Teacher Tsugiyuki, does that mean that the more energy your body naturally contains, the shorter the time it takes to master chakra?"
Yamada Tsugiyuki nodded approvingly. Though Li Jie xuan was a bit precocious, a child who could infer from one example during class was really hard to dislike…
"That's right. The more biological energy you have, the less time you need to train. On the other hand, the less biological energy you have, the more time you'll need to reach the same level as others."
"This is what we call talent…"
Li Jie xuan nodded quietly, then grinned, revealing a row of devilishly white teeth that gleamed brightly. "Then, Teacher—does anyone exist who doesn't need to train at all, or who only needs to train for one second to master chakra?"
Hearing this, Yamada Tsugiyuki couldn't help laughing out loud.
No matter how precocious a child was, they were still just a child—asking such an innocent question…
"In all of history, only the ancestor of ninjas, the legendary Sage of Six Paths, possessed such talent!"
Yamada Tsugiyuki laughed heartily as he seized the chance to educate them. "So, everyone mustn't aim too high too soon. We have to train step by step and strive—"
I really am a master educator.
Yamada Tsugiyuki gave his answer—and his seamless moral guidance—a perfect score in his own mind. Yamada Tsugiyuki, you're the best. Even without a girlfriend, you can still shine brilliantly in education!
Yamada Tsugiyuki cheered for himself inwardly.
But just at that moment—
"Uh… I think I've mastered chakra."
Li Jie xuan's innocent voice suddenly rang out.
"That's impossible!"
Yamada Tsugiyuki whipped his head around, only to see Li Jie xuan standing there with an innocent expression, hands spread open—pale blue chakra flames roaring vividly in his palms.
"How is this possible?"
The faint blue chakra flames flickered gently. Yamada Tsugiyuki stared in shock, his mouth hanging wide open as the Konoha forehead protector on his brow slowly slid down…
