"I don't know why Squad Leader Nagase suddenly called us together this time. It's only been a month since the last assessment. There won't be another assessment, will there?" Inuzuka Midori asked puzzledly.
After a period of training, Inuzuka Midori's chakra has reached the requirements for practicing the Sage Mode. Now she has also begun to practice senjutsu, but what she practices is different from Kakashi. Inuzuka Midori practices the Beast Breathing Sage Mode.
Although Inuzuka Midori is best at changing the nature of chakra with lightning, in fact, in actual combat, Inuzuka Midori seldom uses chakra changes.
They all rely on the secret techniques of the Inuzuka clan to fight. Things like the advanced six styles are only auxiliary means. The real core is still the beast-like ninjutsu.
It is worth mentioning that now Inuzuka Midori is trying to make her Haimaru learn fairy techniques as well.
After all, Inuzuka Midori's most powerful weapon now is to merge with Haimaru. If Haimaru also masters the fairy technique, it will be a great help to Inuzuka Midori.
Because he had been trying to find a way to help Haimaru master the fairy technique, Inuzuka Midori's own training fell behind a bit. In the last assessment, he did not reach Nagase's goal and was led by Nagase's shadow clone to undergo a period of devilish training.
So Inuzuka Midori now has some psychological trauma about the assessment.
Inuzuka Midori also lamented about this. She thought about how she had been able to endure Nagase's training every day, but now it felt like her life was being taken away after just a period of time.
"It shouldn't be. Teacher Nagase has already decided on two months and one side, and he won't change his mind. Maybe he has something else to do, like he wants to teach us something new." Yanshui speculated.
Things are different now than before. At the beginning, Nagase was just a small Anbu squad leader, so he naturally had plenty of time to teach Inuzuka Midori, Kakashi and others.
But even though Nagase is the Hokage's assistant, he is also the captain of the training team, the monitor of the special warfare squad, the consultant of the medical department, and the deputy minister of the education department...
It can be said that Nagase has too many positions, and many of them are not just nominal positions, but require real work.
After all, those plans were proposed by Nagaze himself, and some new departments were established at his suggestion. If he doesn't do the work, how can he let people who don't understand the work do it blindly
"That shouldn't be the case. Kai doesn't seem to have come yet. If Squad Leader Nagase had notified him, he would definitely be the first to arrive." Inuzuka Midori pushed his non-existent eyes and reasoned like a famous detective.
"It doesn't matter what happens, as long as it doesn't increase my workload..." Kakashi said with a sigh, leaning against a tree.
Perhaps many ninjas in Konoha envied his youth and success. He held an important position in the training team at a young age, defeated the Jinchūriki on the battlefield, and served as the Hokage's bodyguard during the Five Kage Summit.
Not everyone can attend the Five Kage Summit as the Hokage's bodyguard. It has deep political significance. Basically, those who go there are heirs or something like that, either the next Hokage or the next next.
After all, Konoha is not Kumogakure and the others. The Five Kage Summit was held in Konoha, and Konoha carefully selected the Hokage guards.
But for Kakashi himself, becoming the Hokage's bodyguard was not too special.
Just stand there, doing nothing, saying nothing, like a wooden man.
One of the few reasons Kakashi could be happy about this was that it was acknowledged by Minato.
But in fact, Kakashi didn't have too many thoughts about the position of Hokage, he has always been like this.
When he was in the Ninja School, many people were vying with enthusiasm to become Hokage, but Kakashi was different. He couldn't be like those classmates because he was naturally indifferent.
Before his father got into trouble, he had always been striving to become his father. But after that, he became confused.
During his time as the Hokage's bodyguard, Kakashi was very busy. He had to attend meetings, carry on with his work, and also practice.
In fact, Kakashi wanted to enjoy life more and didn't want to be too busy. He wanted to have more time to accompany Hua Ling and teach Yurihua.
He himself lost his father's love very early, and there is no such thing as maternal love in his memory. He doesn't want Lilyhua to be like him.
"Tsk, you sound like a salty fish. Kakashi, please control your smell. You're almost making me sick." Inuzuka Midori pretended to pinch her nose and waved the air in front of her with her hand, trying to dispel the non-existent salty fish smell.
"The only thing I don't want is for you to say that." Kakashi looked down and said indifferently.
"You will be qualified to criticize me only when you are not caught slacking off at work by Mr. Nagase."
"Damn Kakashi, what do you know? This is my unique way of training. If even Captain Nagase can't find me slacking off, then who can find me during a stealth mission?" Inuzuka Midori said with a look that said you don't understand.
Kakashi was speechless for a moment, it seemed to make some sense, is this the reason why you are courting death all day long
"Let the great Midori tell you how to slack off at work without being discovered by Team Leader Nagasawa. I have learned all of this at the cost of blood and tears." Inuzuka Midori said confidently.
"Oh, keep talking, I'm listening." Nagase suddenly appeared behind Inuzuka Midori and said with a smile.
"Hehe, then you better listen carefully..."
Inuzuka Midori proudly put her hands on her hips, ready to share her own summary of the secrets of slacking off, but then she suddenly remembered that Kakashi was leaning against a tree on her right, and Yanshui was standing on her left, so behind her was...
"Ahem." Inuzuka Midori coughed twice, and his originally smug smile turned serious, and he said seriously:
"Kakashi, this is exactly what you are wrong about. Konoha is our home. As the leader of the training team, you hold such an important position. How can you slack off? It is a sin to even think about such a thing."
Kakashi: …
"Do you think I will believe your nonsense? Although Kakashi leaves work on time and doesn't stay a minute longer, he is not like you who would slack off." Nagase tapped Inuzuka Midori's head with some dissatisfaction.
"And teach you the secrets of slacking off. Do you want to create a special position for you, a slacking captain, to teach others how to slack off without being caught?"
"Is it okay?" Inuzuka Midori looked at Nagase expectantly.
"Of course not." Yongze said expressionlessly, what are you dreaming about here.
If there really is such a department, it would be used to train ninjas from rival ninja villages.
What's the point of letting the ninjas from your own village learn the skills of slacking off
Inuzuka Midori looked disappointed. If it was really possible to teach someone how to slack off, then what would be the ultimate experience of slacking off while teaching them how to slack off
Ignoring the funny Inuzuka Midori, Nagase walked up to the three of them and said:
"I asked you to come here because I want to teach you new things," Nagase explained.
"A new secret technique? Damn, I guessed wrong. I thought since Gai was not invited, he shouldn't be teaching anything new." Inuzuka Midori recovered from his disappointment and found that his reasoning was wrong.
"Kai is not suitable for the new things I am going to give you, so I didn't notify him." Nagase replied.
Nagase has given Kai enough things. The path Kai wants to take is a simple one. He uses the ultimate physical skills to defeat everything without any fancy tricks.
Of course, the Death God system is special and is beneficial for strengthening the power of the soul. After Kai has digested what he taught and temporarily hits a bottleneck, he can practice it.
"Do you know samurai?" Nagase asked a question.
"I once knew a little bit that before the age of ninjas came, it was the age of samurai. However, in this age of ninjas, samurai have declined, and most of them are concentrated in the Iron Kingdom." Yanshui replied.
"Samurai... I have no idea what the new thing is." Kakashi tried to analyze Nagase's words, but finally gave up.
"Yan Shui, you are right." Yongze nodded.
"In the era of samurai, there were no ninjas and samurai was synonymous with strong people. Do you think samurai were just ordinary people who were a little stronger?" Nagase asked.
"That shouldn't be the case. If they were just strong ordinary people, then the ninja era would not be a matter of decline, but would disappear completely." Kakashi thought for a moment and replied.
Nagazawa nodded, confirming Kakashi's words.
Although the world of Naruto cannot be as exaggerated as the world of One Piece, where one can train to the point of splitting an island in half with one sword, Naruto is ultimately a world of strange and bizarre things.
Even though the samurai of that era could not use chakra, the strong ones among them probably had considerable strength, probably between the Chunin and Jonin.
"So you have to understand one thing, chakra is not the only power." Nagase started talking nonsense.
After all, the system of Bleach is very different from that of One Piece, and taking things from One Piece actually makes the style of the Ninja system quite normal.
"Recently I discovered a new magical power, which is about the power of the soul and related to spiritual power."
The three of them began to become curious. The secret technique of spiritual power is a rare thing. The secret techniques related to spiritual power are basically Yin Dun secret techniques, which are relatively rare, such as the shadow imitation technique of the Nara clan.
"In fact, the soul itself has power. When the density of the soul is high enough, it will have spiritual pressure. The powerful spiritual pressure can make the opponent lose the ability to resist just by releasing it. The power of the soul can also be called spiritual power. I recently developed a method to cultivate spiritual power..."
Yongze continued to fool the three people.
He tried his best to describe the settings in Death Note using words that ninjas could understand.
"Spiritual power, spiritual pressure..." Kakashi looked at Nagase with suspicion. Why did he feel that Nagase was fooling them? He had never heard of these words, and he always felt a strong sense of incongruity.
In the ninja world, who talks about strengthening the soul? They all talk about enhancing mental strength, but there is no way to directly strengthen the soul.
Yanshui, the only one among the three who had some knowledge of spiritual power, looked at Yongze with a look of doubt about life.
Reiatsu, does this thing really exist...
"No matter how much I say, it's not as good as you feeling it for yourselves. Let me release my spiritual pressure so you can feel it." Nagase decided to release his spiritual pressure to let the three of them feel it a little more realistically.
The strength of the captain-general's spiritual pressure is extremely terrifying. Just releasing his powerful spiritual pressure is enough to frighten a vice-captain-level Shinigami into shock. When he performs Bankai, all of the Shizureitei can feel the changes in the captain-general's spiritual pressure. When he is extremely angry, the spiritual pressure can even spread to the entire Soul Society.
Although Nagase currently has only 50% fusion degree, that is, only 50% of the spiritual pressure of the captain-general, even so, it is still considered a very strong spiritual pressure.
Nagaze narrowed his eyes slightly, recalled the technique of releasing spiritual pressure in his mind, and then controlled the spiritual pressure and released it suddenly.
He has to be careful. If he releases his murderous aura and domineering Haki, Kakashi and the others might fall.
Because of Nagase's advance warning, Kakashi was not careless and kept his nerves tense while waiting for Nagase to release his spiritual pressure.
But he had made preparations in advance. When he really faced Nagase's spiritual pressure, Kakashi understood that spiritual pressure really exists!
Although there was no change in Nagase's chakra, a powerful aura as vast as the ocean descended upon him.
"Huff, huff." Kakashi gasped with a distorted expression. The pressure brought by the spiritual pressure was much more terrifying than he had imagined.
Kakashi only felt that Nagase's body expanded invisibly, as if he had turned into a giant a hundred meters tall, and he was a bug held in the giant's hand.
Inuzuka Midori and Saltwater were no better off than Kakashi. They were both gasping for breath and looked as if they had difficulty breathing.
In the end, Kakashi used all his strength to activate the chakra in his body and burst out his chakra to resist, which made him feel much better.
The same went for Yujian and Inuzuka Midori. If they didn't do this, they felt like they might fall to the ground.
"How about this? Feel my spiritual pressure head-on." Nagase looked at the three people with a smile on his face and put away his spiritual pressure.
"It feels like an invisible big hand is holding my throat. It's hard to breathe. It's so uncomfortable." Inuzuka Midori said with a bitter face about her feelings.
Saltwater and Kakashi nodded frantically in the affirmative.
Kakashi felt that he had underestimated the ninja world. The ninja world was too complicated. There was even such a thing as spiritual pressure. Nagase was also very secretive. His spiritual pressure was so powerful, but he had never used it.
"So, are you interested in learning?" Yongze asked with a smile.
"I am interested, and I am very interested." Yanshui said quickly. He had a hunch that maybe he could use this to solve his current shortcomings and embark on the path of becoming a truly strong man.
Although the Nara clan has always preferred to be a military strategist and then play a supporting role, however, a support also has the desire to output. If you can rely on yourself, why bother to assist others.
"I feel like you and I are not very compatible." Inuzuka Midori fell into deep thought.
Her fighting style is reckless, a bit similar to the purer physical ninja style. I don't know if she can learn this kind of fighting style which is related to the soul.
"Don't worry, it will be good for you." Yongze said.
Practicing the Shinigami system is beneficial to ninjas. It can increase ninjas' potential and increase chakra.
"Next, I will talk about some key points of cultivation, please remember them..."
