Sakura Haruno's Team's Training
In a previous world, there were people who seriously considered using infrasound to create weapons.
During the last period of her trip to the Land of Snow last year, Sakura Haruno began to make up for her shortcomings in other areas. She practiced Genjutsu for a while before remembering something called infrasound.
After returning to Konoha, he attempted to develop this technique.
In some ways, the infrasonic Genjutsu "Illusory Sound of Silence" can be considered a perfect Genjutsu.
It is highly concealed, extremely damaging, has a long range, and is difficult to crack. Of course, most importantly, it has extremely low learning requirements.
For ordinary civilian ninjas, this last point is probably the most important—what use is even the best Genjutsu if it can only Mangekyō Sharingan?
Unfortunately, she thought of the Water Blade first; if she had thought of that Ninjutsu first, the current Water Release Master Sakura Haruno might have to be renamed Genjutsu Master Sakura Haruno.
After all, her Genjutsu ability is probably higher than her Water Release ability.
The infrasonic Genjutsu "Illusory Sound of Silence" that Sakura Haruno taught to her three students was actually still a work in progress.
Sound Genjutsu created using infrasound as a medium have two directions of development: one is to delve deeper into the realm of Genjutsu, physically damaging the enemy's brain to enhance the power of the Genjutsu; the other is to emphasize the destructive power of infrasound, using Genjutsu as a supplement and infrasound damage as the primary method. When the enemy breaks through the Genjutsu, they will find that they have actually been seriously injured.
"So, are we supposed to perfect this Ninjutsu ourselves?" Udon asked blankly when he heard that Sakura's jutsu was still unfinished.
All three students were a little confused.
"Yes." Sakura Haruno nodded.
Instead of teaching her students a fully developed Ninjutsu, she gave them a half-finished product. This was partly because Sakura herself hadn't figured out how to further develop it, and partly to train their ability to develop Ninjutsu.
"I am a ninja who has developed many powerful Ninjutsu. As my students, you certainly cannot be so ignorant as to not even know how to develop your own Ninjutsu!" she explained.
"Moreover, compared to learning Ninjutsu developed by others, Ninjutsu developed by oneself is naturally easier to use and more suited to one's own circumstances!"
"But..." Udon hesitated, "We haven't even learned many Ninjutsu yet! How can we develop Ninjutsu?"
Moegi and Konohamaru nodded vigorously in agreement.
Sakura Haruno chuckled and patted Udon on the shoulder.
"I first formally developed Ninjutsu when I was a fifth-year student at the Ninja Academy," she said with a smile to the three students. "Do you know what Ninjutsu it was?"
The three shook their heads.
Sakura could tell what they were thinking from the undisguised expressions on their faces; they probably thought it was a failed technique.
"It's Wind Blade Torrent." She shook her head inwardly and said calmly.
Her trump card Ninjutsu.
The three students had no idea that this move was something she had developed back in the Ninja Academy!
Seeing the astonished expressions on the three faces, Sakura explained, "Of course, it's just its prototype."
"In short, developing Ninjutsu doesn't have to wait until you all become Ninjutsu masters. As long as you have a good idea, it's worth giving it a try."
Konohamaru suddenly realized, "Oh! I remember now! Naruto's Sexy Jutsu was also developed back in the Ninja Academy!"
Sakura Haruno's face twitched slightly.
"What a brilliant idea!" She flicked Konohamaru on the forehead and rolled her eyes at him. "Ninjutsu that you'll never forget!"
Udon and Moegi chuckled to themselves as they watched Konohamaru grimacing and crying out in pain.
Sakura Haruno glared at the two of them again, and seeing that they had become serious, she said, "What is the most important question in developing Ninjutsu? Have you thought about it?"
"No," the three answered in unison; of course, they hadn't even thought about developing Ninjutsu, so naturally they wouldn't consider such deeper questions.
Sakura said seriously, "There's a principle that says asking questions is more important than solving them. I'm not here to explain a philosophical problem to you, but to tell you that the most important question when it comes to developing Ninjutsu is figuring out what kind of ninjutsu you need."
"And this is a question that you can consider no matter how deep your understanding of magic is," she continued. "Only by knowing what magic you need is it meaningful to develop new magic; otherwise, wouldn't it be a complete waste of time to spend a lot of effort developing a magic that you can't use? If you're going in the wrong direction, the harder you try, the more mistakes you'll make. Do you understand?"
When Kakashi developed Chidori, it was a similar situation: he only knew that the technique he developed was powerful, but he didn't realize that he couldn't control it at all, and it almost killed him. If he hadn't later obtained the Sharingan, the technique would have been useless.
"I understand, Teacher means we should develop this technology according to our own needs!" Moegi was the first to react.
Sakura Haruno nodded approvingly at her.
"First, figure out the direction you want to develop, then tell me, and I will guide you on how to proceed with the development," Sakura said to the students.
"I want to delve deeper into Genjutsu!" Udon said without hesitation.
"I..." Konohamaru thought for a moment, then made up his mind, "I'm going to develop it into a very powerful sound Ninjutsu!"
Sakura Haruno nodded to the two of them. This choice was not unexpected and suited their style perfectly.
Udon is unnecessary; he wants to pursue the path of Genjutsu to the end, so a trump card Genjutsu is essential. With this technique, he will truly possess the ability to fight head-on and won't always have to take the support route.
Konohamaru's personality is that of someone who goes all out and acts recklessly, just like Naruto; he has a very keen sense of combat, so a high-damage Ninjutsu that can enrich his attack methods would be very suitable for him.
The most hesitant one here is Moegi is the most mature in his thinking.
"Then how should I choose?" the girl asked, somewhat troubled. She had some talent in Genjutsu magic, but her talent in Ninjutsu was even better; however, if she were to develop her skills in Genjutsu in depth, it would make up for her lack of knowledge in Genjutsu.
Seeing her slightly confused look, Sakura Haruno couldn't help but chuckle.
People often have the tendency to be blinded by their own involvement.
Sakura just arrived, and understanding what she needs is the most important thing.
Moegi forgot in the blink of an eye.
"Moegi, think about it carefully," Sakura Haruno said with a smile, "Do you really need to continue developing this Ninjutsu?"
"Huh?" Moegi was taken aback.
The answer is naturally no.
Moegi has Sakura Haruno's Water Release technique to learn, so why should she be distracted by learning this kind of ninjutsu? For a ninja who is still growing rapidly, the first thing to do is to improve their strengths, rather than being distracted by other aspects.
"That's it!" the girl exclaimed, suddenly realizing, "I shouldn't have chosen that at all! I only need to grasp the basics of this technique; there's no need to spend too much time developing it in depth!"
"Teacher, let's continue practicing Water Release!"
Sakura Haruno was extremely dedicated to training her students, even teaching them Ninjutsu like "Illusory Sound of Silence".
Family Secret Technique like Gekko Hayate's "Dance of the Crescent Moon" can support an entire family; techniques with immense potential like "Illusory Sound of Silence" can easily transform an unknown family into a Genjutsu family in Konoha.
However, Sakura Haruno had no intention of making this technique a Secret Technique of the Haruno Clan.
The Haruno Clan is honest; apart from herself, the talents of the others are just average. If you don't have the ability, don't force yourself to support such a family. There's no need to make your life so tiring for some empty fame.
When this technique was entered into the Konoha database, its learning difficulty was recorded as Level 1 to Level B, and its power as Level B to Level A; this was the first technique developed by Sakura Haruno that had a lower learning difficulty than Ninjutsu power.
However, in terms of form, it is a typical Sakura Haruno -style Ninjutsu: a Ninjutsu supported by a brilliant and ingenious idea, with extraordinary power and unexpected effects.
Those who were tricked by this technique probably can't imagine how they fell for it; it's even more bizarre than Wind Blade Torrent.
The only problem is that its power is still relatively weak for the time being—compared to the bunch of S-rank Ninjutsu she has at her disposal.
Infrasound is very effective against enemies below the Jonin level; however, it is less effective against Elite Jonin and "Kage" level ninjas. Even without the support of strange Secret Technique or Medical Ninjutsu, the effect of infrasound on their battle-hardened bodies will be reduced.
How effective it is depends on the relative strength of the caster and the enemy.
After teaching this Ninjutsu, it was already mid-May.
The three students from Sakura Haruno's Team graduated more than two months ago.
Growing up under Sakura Haruno's tutelage and receiving guidance from this beautiful older sister, all three made significant progress.
Konohamaru's growth mainly comes from his improved combat experience; he has learned enough Ninjutsu from the Third Hokage, but his biggest problem is that he cannot integrate them. Sakura Haruno has not taught him any new Ninjutsu. Apart from basic training in physical strength and Chakra, she just creates Ice Clone to practice with him and give him sparring.
The results are pretty good.
In particular, the ability to use lethal techniques against clones has made the combat training very close to real combat; Konohamaru's originally lacking combat experience has grown rapidly through continuous training.
After all, he is the grandson of the Third, inheriting the excellent genes of the Third. His talent is definitely not weak. His Chakra reserves, Ninjutsu, and Taijutsu are all among the best of his peers. In terms of combat power alone, he has probably reached the level of Chunin.
Udon is not weak either. Although his weaknesses are obvious, in terms of Genjutsu alone, some Chunin Genjutsu may not be much stronger than him. He can even reach the level of Special Jōnin. Moreover, although Taijutsu and Ninjutsu are his weaknesses, they are already quite good among his peers.
Overall, Udon can demonstrate the fighting power of Chunin.
He is currently developing "Illusory Sound of Silence" under Sakura's guidance. Once he fully masters this technique, his combat ability will greatly increase, and his strength will grow by leaps and bounds.
Moegi is probably the strongest fighter in the team. Her biggest strength is Water Release, after all, she's a student personally taught by Sakura Haruno! Moegi has also learned Sakura's method of always keeping a stream of water within her, constantly manipulating water to greatly benefit her understanding of the Shape Transformation and Nature Transformation of water-attribute techniques. In the past two months, this little girl's Chakra control has become increasingly refined, and her skill in the form and Nature Transformation of Water Release has become more and more proficient, making her Water Release Ninjutsu truly amazing!
Of course, she also possesses Monstrous Strength in Taijutsu, and her power is considerable; she also has excellent resistance to Genjutsu. She is a ninja with very well-rounded abilities.
In terms of overall strength, he stands out among the Chunin! He could probably be considered a Special Jonin Grade ninja.
Seeing the students grow from their innocent, childlike faces when they first left school into strong and reliable ninjas, Sakura Haruno felt a sense of satisfaction.
May was not a particularly peaceful month for Sakura Haruno's Team.
Because their teacher had been sent on a mission to the Land of Water.
(First update! Sorry for being late! I found a bug while organizing the outline today and am currently fixing it urgently, so I almost forgot to update!)
(I'll try to update three times tonight!)
