Is He Really Teaching Them Nonsense?
"Then, let's begin the second and third phases of training!"
The second phase of training is also simple: improve hand seal speed and combat control ability.
Everyone in the Shinobi World understands how important hand seal speed is.
While faster hand seal formation doesn't necessarily equate to strength, those who form hand seals quickly are generally quite capable.
Ye Liangnai is a prime example of a ninja who excels at hand seals. His incredible speed in forming hand seals is widely recognized throughout the Shinobi World.
Therefore, many people have begun to value this skill.
Controlling the battlefield is a very mysterious thing. In practice, it manifests as tactical guidance, which means using various skills to bring the enemy into your rhythm and win at a lower cost.
The third stage of training is simpler: sparring with Ye Liangnai, integrating everything learned in the first two stages.
This is the training that Natsume Yuki and the others are most looking forward to.
Lightning Release: Gratitude Wave!
"Water Release: Water Fang Bullet!"
"Ninja Art: Earth Style: Thousand Senbon!"
Lightning Release: Raiga!
"Water Release · Water Wall Technique!"
"Ninja Art: Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!"
For several days in a row, Natsume Yuki and the other two girls simply repeated this action in this training ground.
Form hand seals and unleash the ninjutsu!
Form hand seals, then unleash the ninjutsu!
This left those who came to check on their training progress completely bewildered once again.
Does doing this bring any real improvement?
Aside from making the release of ninjutsu a little smoother, it doesn't seem to have any practical effect.
It doesn't seem like it will improve our strength by much!
"I have a feeling they've been tricked. Does Ye Liangnai really know how to teach? This method is just ridiculous."
"I feel the same way. If they continue to be delayed like this, they will only waste their time and energy and end up achieving nothing! How can they improve without new ninjutsu and tactical training? And how can they integrate what they have learned without carrying out missions?"
"I heard that Yagura tried to persuade Ye Liangnai, but Ye Liangnai didn't listen. I think Ye Liangnai is too proud. Actually, if he had just stopped, we wouldn't have said anything. He would still be the Ye Liangnai we respect the most!"
These days, watching Ye Liangnai others teach, and then secretly making a few sarcastic remarks, has become the most popular thing for their classes.
The reason is simple: the main character here is Ye Liangnai, and they have very little experience to share in criticizing him.
Who is Ye Liangnai? He is the most respected person in Kirigakure besides the Mizukage, and also the person who has made the greatest contribution to Kirigakure. Everyone in Kirigakure respects him, so naturally no one would criticize him.
But right now, Ye Liangnai's series of actions are really baffling!
"I have a feeling that Ye Liangnai's confusing tactics seem to have an unusual effect?"
After watching for a few minutes, Yagura suddenly said this.
If he wasn't mistaken, Natsume Yuki and the others were releasing ninjutsu faster and faster, and the power and control over it were also increasing.
It is not true that the stronger the ninjutsu, the stronger the strength.
If you can't fully master ninjutsu, no matter how powerful it is, it's useless because you can't hit anyone.
Only ninjas with greater mastery of ninjutsu and greater power will be stronger.
Because you can move at will and hit wherever you point!
Moreover, the speed at which these three formed hand seals was far too fast, almost on par with the Jonin of the village.
Just thinking about it, he felt that Natsume Yuki and the other two must be quite strong.
However, he didn't know where the upper limit was.
His words surprised the Team 1 of people who came with him. This kind of training is effective? Are you kidding me?
"Never mind, we'll find out in a while!"
Yagura shook his head and left with Team 1. A class competition would be held in a while, and then he would know whether Ye Liangnai's training methods were effective.
Meanwhile, inside the training ground, Natsume Yuki and the others were still training day and night.
They know best whether it's effective or not.
It definitely works!
If the average time it took them to unleash their ninjutsu was four seconds before, it has now been increased to three seconds.
Moreover, its power is much stronger than before, and its control is also stronger.
Most importantly, even if attacked suddenly, the technique will not fail due to Chakra malfunction.
This is all thanks to Ye Liangnai's prior training in precise Chakra control.
After training, they have become able to precisely and flexibly control every bit of Chakra in their bodies and mobilize it at will.
Three days later, after completing the hand seal speed training, they began combat control training: training in tactics, ninjutsu, hidden weapons, Taijutsu coordination, and other aspects.
Seven days later, the battle was under control!
Half a month later, they completed the third phase of training, and under Ye Liangnai's relentless pressure, they basically integrated what they had learned in the previous stages.
And just after they finished all this training, the class competition arrived.
Class competitions are used to assess the class's strength and make corresponding adjustments to teaching methods.
The competition took place in the outdoor area of Kirigakure, which was specifically used for assessment.
"Have you heard? The Team 1 and Team 3 each recently completed a B-Rank Mission!"
"What? They're already capable of carrying out B-Rank Mission? They're just from the Special Class, but they're really amazing!"
This news immediately caused a huge sensation among the other classes. Many people looked at the students from Team 1 and Team 3 in shock, with envy in their eyes.
Keep in mind that most of them are still only at the D-level and C-level mission level, but the Team 1 and Team 3 are already able to carry out B-Rank Mission. That's amazing!
It's important to know that B-Rank Mission have a high probability of encountering Chunin -level enemies, a significant number of Genin, and other types of enemies. The missions involve close protection, espionage, and assassinating ninjas.
Such missions are usually assigned to the Anbu or experienced Chunin.
It's astonishing that Team 1 and Team 3 have already reached this level of strength. A considerable gap has already begun to widen between them.
"The winner of this class competition will most likely be one of them! We are simply no match for them; the gap in strength is too obvious!"
This is one of the sentiments expressed by some, and it has garnered support from many others.
"On another note, what do you think the Team 2 will do this time? Will they even be able to beat us?"
Someone suddenly mentioned Team 2, and everyone couldn't help but look over. They saw Natsume Yuki and the other two dozing off in a corner, showing no fighting spirit whatsoever.
