Chapter 233: A Surprise
If Chiko Tomoe's Wind Release was a pleasant surprise for Ishiro, then the other matter completely opened the door to a new world for him.
The protagonist of this matter was Ishiro's new disciple, Yuran Kawazoe. The little girl's physical and spiritual strength were both average. But her intellect was exceptional, and her talent in sealing jutsu surprised even Ishiro. And most importantly, the little girl had ideas.
Yuran Kawazoe came from a civilian family, and her way of thinking was somewhat different from that of a normal ninja; her mind was more open. After Ishiro focused on cultivating her sealing jutsu abilities, the little girl began to think about how to use sealing jutsu in combat.
The little girl originally didn't have much knowledge, with only a Genin older brother at home. But after becoming Ishiro's disciple, she was exposed to a whole new world. This was also deliberately created by Ishiro.
Ishiro did not maintain an air of mystery in front of his disciples like Kakashi did with Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura. Ishiro often demonstrated various ninjutsu to his disciples, with the aim of broadening their horizons.
It was under these circumstances that Yuran Kawazoe had her breakthrough. In the few short days that Ishiro was away from the village, she learned her first C-rank sealing jutsu from the materials Ishiro left behind: Chakra Seal. Immediately after, she researched a method to use sealing jutsu in combat.
She inscribed sealing runes onto Kanako's origami. Then Kanako, using a method learned from Konan's notebook, slowly controlled the origami to fly onto Takuhiro Uchiyama.
Kanako's origami was prepared in advance; she couldn't create paper with chakra like Konan. But she could just about manage to control the origami to fly slowly over a short distance.
Subsequently, Yuran Kawazoe activated the sealing jutsu from a distance, successfully sealing Takuhiro Uchiyama's chakra.
To be honest, when Ishiro saw this scene, he was completely dumbfounded.
Although this tactic was still just a joke for now, and Yuran Kawazoe could only seal Takuhiro Uchiyama's chakra for a short while. Moreover, the success of the tactic depended on Takuhiro Uchiyama's cooperation.
But the prospects of this method were limitless, especially for Ishiro. Other sealing jutsu users lacked a medium for inscribing runes, but Ishiro wasn't lacking!
Ishiro had Porcelain Release, and the porcelain mud was perfectly suited for inscribing runes.
In that instant, Ishiro seemed to see a vision of himself using sealing jutsu, killing gods who blocked his way, killing Buddhas who blocked his way.
It had to be known that the most incredible techniques in this ninja world were sealing jutsu. The prospects of sealing jutsu were infinite.
Ishiro had lacked someone to give him pointers before. Now, with Yuran Kawazoe's successful precedent, he believed he could soon develop his own sealing jutsu techniques.
However, while inscribing runes on paper beforehand was naturally simple, the porcelain mud Ishiro used was formed by chakra, not prepared in advance, so it couldn't be inscribed beforehand. Therefore, Ishiro could only choose to inscribe during combat.
If it were actual writing of runes, the difficulty would not be great for Ishiro. But in actual combat, Ishiro could only secretly draw the runes within the mud using chakra, which greatly increased the difficulty.
For example, the mud itself was not suitable for drawing runes. Ishiro could only inscribe on the rock formed after the mud solidified. But the greatest advantage of Porcelain Release was its versatility; if Ishiro inscribed runes on it, it meant he could no longer turn the rock back into mud to change its form.
There were many such problems, all of which needed to be solved by Ishiro one by one. But it didn't matter. Ishiro now had his own set of theories for approaching new things. It was okay if he didn't understand; he just had to try a few more times. If a few times weren't enough, then dozens or hundreds of times.
He could even figure out Sage Jutsu, let alone a mere sealing jutsu for combat.
Next, Ishiro's life returned to a state of training, beginning his daily routine of practice. At the same time, his attention was focused again on his six new disciples.
Among the six, Yuran Kawazoe was the first to show her talent and naturally became the focus of Ishiro's cultivation now. Ishiro would spend time every day teaching Yuran Kawazoe sealing jutsu. Although the little girl's talent was good, she knew too little. Unlike Ishiro, who had read almost all of Iwagakure's basic books before learning sealing jutsu.
In addition to the basic training that Yuran Kawazoe could not interrupt daily, Ishiro also required her to read a certain number of books and stipulated that she must learn a C-rank sealing jutsu after a certain period. Yuran Kawazoe had a poor foundation and a small amount of chakra. But fortunately, the chakra requirement for sealing jutsu was much lower than for general ninjutsu, so the little girl could just about meet the standard.
The only thing that made the little girl dissatisfied was that the time required to complete the daily basic physical training was too long, which seriously affected her progress in learning sealing jutsu. But this was a hard requirement from Ishiro, not up for negotiation. So although she was dissatisfied, at least she wasn't suffering alone. Because there were others suffering together, she could still persevere.
The ones who were also tormented by the basic physical training were Kanako and Himeki Suda. Among the six disciples Ishiro selected this time, the three girls were all the type with particularly poor foundations. The three of them were chosen by Ishiro for some inconspicuous reasons.
Compared to the three boys, the three girls' foundations were indeed much worse. Originally, the three didn't think much of it; after all, "I'm not the only one who's bad." Initially, the three only persisted in training because they didn't dare to disobey Ishiro's words. But after spending some time under Chiko Tomoe's care, their attitudes changed.
Chiko Tomoe had been a student with a very poor foundation, just like them. Originally, the three thought Chiko Tomoe's success was mainly due to Ishiro's teaching. They now also had Ishiro's guidance and would succeed sooner or later; effort was not the most important thing.
But when they saw that Chiko Tomoe, already a Jonin, still trained desperately every day, and apart from occasionally teaching disciples, Chiko Tomoe spent most of her time developing and improving her ninjutsu.
Ishiro hadn't noticed that by unintentionally entrusting the six to Chiko Tomoe's care for a few days, he had changed the three girls' attitudes towards training.
Ishiro had also read the notes Konan gave to Kanako. Ishiro couldn't interfere with the other things, but the training method recorded inside required the ninja to have very high chakra control skills.
So, Ishiro's training plan for Kanako, besides the basic physical training she disliked very much, also included a whole set of tedious training to gradually improve her chakra control. As a result, the time Kanako spent on origami was greatly reduced.
Now, Kanako cherished the little time she had for origami every day. Every time she folded paper, it seemed like she was enjoying life, expressing her dissatisfaction with the great demon king, Ishiro.
Himeki Suda was more lively. Although her foundation was also poor, her physical fitness was much better than the other two gentle girls. But she was also dissatisfied with the training Ishiro arranged. Because Ishiro was crazy enough to arrange a training plan for her newly born ninja cat as well.
This made Himeki Suda use the opportunity she had originally intended to bargain for a reduction in her own training for the ninja cat instead.
Ishiro had no objection to this. When Himeki Suda protested his arrangements for the ninja cat, Ishiro directly stated that if Himeki Suda could complete the ninja cat's training as well, then he didn't care.
Himeki Suda agreed. For the sake of her ninja cat having a carefree childhood, she shouldered all the pressure.
Katsumata's talent for genjutsu was obviously wasted in Iwagakure. Ishiro gave all the Sharingan genjutsu scrolls he had obtained from the Uchiha clan this time to Katsumata, letting him study them on his own to see if he could learn anything. Anyway, for Katsumata, Ishiro had one phrase: a hands-off approach.
Kazumasa Yoshimura was the most amazing. Ishiro had previously formulated a training plan for him, and he naturally didn't dare to slack off on the basic physical training Ishiro had mandated. But the method Ishiro had come up with for practicing hand seals was actually adjusted by him.
This guy actually applied the hand seal practice to making ramen. Watching him take out a table and start kneading dough while training, Ishiro was speechless. Then he recalled that his dream was to become an outstanding ramen master, and Ishiro could only sigh: what a talent.
If it were any other teacher, they might have intervened. But Ishiro was different. In his previous life, Ishiro felt that those who could make money from their strengths or hobbies were all talents. Although Kazumasa Yoshimura wasn't making money, using his hobby to improve his strength obviously made him a talent as well.
Anyway, the direction was set, and the various tricks for training and developing hand seals had been told to him. How he wanted to train was his own business; Ishiro had no intention of interfering too much.
The most troublesome was Takuhiro Uchiyama. Ishiro had no experience in guiding geniuses. Ishiro himself could be considered a genius, but his talent was severely lopsided and not of the same type as Takuhiro Uchiyama's. So Ishiro had no good way to guide Takuhiro Uchiyama.
After thinking for a long time, Ishiro could only think of one method: sparring.
Ishiro often created a clone with not much chakra to spar with Takuhiro Uchiyama. Sometimes it was a Water Clone, sometimes an Earth Clone, and the tactics and ninjutsu used by the clones were constantly changing.
When the opportunity was right, Ishiro also often took Takuhiro Uchiyama to spar with other ninjas. Most of the time, Ishiro would find Genin or Chunin from the village; Ishiro had been a commander for a while and knew many subordinates.
In short, when there was no good method, Ishiro's training method for Takuhiro Uchiyama was to have him comprehend it himself in battle.
Of course, the daily step of taking Takuhiro Uchiyama to experience changes in gravity could not be omitted.
In the original story, Nagato's greatest reliance in conventional combat was Shinra Tensei and Bansho Ten'in. Ishiro himself had also learned these two moves and knew how much these two S-rank ninjutsu could help a ninja if they were proficient.
Ishiro was somewhat expectant, anticipating whether Takuhiro Uchiyama would bring him any surprises in the future, just like Chiko Tomoe and Yuran Kawazoe.
To get back to the main point, Ishiro once again returned to a peaceful life, guiding his disciples, supervising their training, doing an average of one D-rank mission per day, and incidentally increasing the tacit understanding among his disciples.
It was just that Ishiro hadn't expected that the storm in the ninja world this time would not calm down so quickly; the various chain reactions of the Third Raikage incident followed one after another.
