Wind Style Ninjutsu

"Kakashi, teach me Wind Style Ninjutsu!"

Although Konoha was covered in snow, it couldn't dampen the fiery passion of some individuals, like... Gu Qi.

Putting down the Icha Icha Paradise in his hands, Kakashi lowered his eyelids and said, "I refuse!"

"Hey, hey, why not!" Gu Qi was bewildered by the sudden rejection.

Was this still the Kakashi who agreed to everything and gave him everything, the doting brother?

"Because I'm on vacation. Right now, I just want to read my book properly," Kakashi said, holding up his Icha Icha Paradise.

Gu Qi shot Kakashi a look. "No way, hurry up and teach me Wind Style Ninjutsu."

"Why do you suddenly want to learn this? Didn't you used to like learning Lightning Style Ninjutsu?" Kakashi asked.

"Don't ask. Just asking means I want to try something new," Gu Qi said, tilting his head back.

The reason Gu Qi wanted to learn Wind Style Ninjutsu was actually to complete a mission assigned by the system.

After all, Gu Qi had a technical document for an air cannon, and to turn this document into Ninjutsu, he needed the power of Wind-based Chakra.

Kakashi scratched his cheek. "You're a genius, you can totally learn it yourself!"

"Yeah!" Gu Qi felt Kakashi made a lot of sense and couldn't refute him at all.

"Since you agree, then it's settled." After speaking, Kakashi buried his head back in his book.

Gu Qi pondered with his chin in his hand, then said, "No, I want to learn Wind Style - Great Breakthrough. Teach me quickly."

Kakashi said without looking up, "It's in the Ninjutsu scroll I gave you. Go learn it yourself."

Kakashi had previously left Gu Qi a scroll containing many Ninjutsu. Although they were all C-rank Ninjutsu, there were quite a few of them.

The Wind Style - Great Breakthrough that Gu Qi wanted to learn was indeed among them.

"Hey, don't push it too far!" Gu Qi was angry. He didn't have a brother who didn't spoil his younger sibling like this.

Kakashi sighed. "You're the one pushing it too far! Researching Ninjutsu so casually!"

"I'm a genius! Geniuses should act like geniuses!" Gu Qi said shamelessly.

Rolling his eyes, Kakashi said, "You want to learn Wind Style Ninjutsu this time, are you planning something again?"

"How could I! Look at my pure eyes." Gu Qi lied through his teeth.

"It seems so. Then you shouldn't even think about it," Kakashi refused outright.

"You just wait," Gu Qi muttered, leaving behind some nonsensical words before slinking away.

"That damn guy. Looks like I'll have to rely on myself," Gu Qi murmured on the street, having been unceremoniously rejected by Kakashi.

Although he had Kakashi's Ninjutsu scroll, there was a huge difference between having guidance and not having it.

Since Kakashi wasn't willing now, Gu Qi had no choice but to rely on himself.

With his hands behind his head, Gu Qi strolled down the street and couldn't help but say, "It feels like it's been a while since I've been out. I wonder how that little girl is doing now."

Ever since the battle with the Cloud Ninja last time, Gu Qi hadn't seen that little girl again.

Gu Qi had gone to the Hyuga Clan's mansion several times hoping to find her, but since he didn't know her name, he had to give up.

However, Gu Qi had a premonition that he would eventually meet that girl again.

After wandering and eating for a long time, and dispelling his feelings of frustration, Gu Qi returned home.

Ever since he researched the powerful Ninjutsu "Railgun" last time, Gu Qi had fallen into a slump.

Although he still had the air cannon to research, Gu Qi couldn't muster much enthusiasm.

He had finally wanted to get in high spirits to research today, but he never expected that Kakashi would be so uncooperative.

"Sigh, I still have to rely on myself."

Gu Qi opened the Ninjutsu scroll Kakashi had given him and checked them one by one, finally finding the chapter on Wind Style Ninjutsu.

All the Wind Style Ninjutsu recorded on the scroll were C-rank. The Fire Style and Lightning Style Ninjutsu in the scroll were also C-rank.

Gu Qi understood that Kakashi had deliberately only recorded these to prevent him from messing around.

Gu Qi didn't really mind. After all, even if he were given B-rank Ninjutsu, he wouldn't be able to use it because his Chakra level wasn't high enough.

It took Gu Qi an entire night to memorize the hand seals and the principle of the Great Breakthrough technique.

"Hmm, I'll try it out tomorrow! For now, time for bed, bed."

Letting out a big yawn, Gu Qi bid goodnight to his three Ninja Dogs and lay down on his bed.

"System, activate 6-hour training."

[Ding! 60,000 Ryo deducted. Classroom activating...]

He felt a wave of dizziness, and when he recovered, Gu Qi had already arrived in the system's classroom.

Learning brings happiness, and that's how Gu Qi felt now.

After six hours of diligent study, Gu Qi's understanding of Basic Biology had become much more profound.

"Another five or six days, and Basic Biology should be no problem!"

The next morning, Gu Qi woke up feeling refreshed and muttered to himself.

The reason he changed his major to Biology was that Intermediate Mathematics was just too expensive.

And it would take a long time too; even if he spent five to six hours studying every day, it would take Gu Qi at least five months.

Basic Biology, however, was different. At a study rate of six hours a day, it would only take a little over thirty days to complete.

There was another reason Gu Qi was studying Biology: he needed biological knowledge to support many of his endeavors.

For instance, to uncover the secret behind the healing properties of the Secret Brew and then create a true blood-replenishing miracle drug.

With Gu Qi's current knowledge of chemistry, it would be very difficult to decipher. However, if he had more advanced biological knowledge as a supplement, it might be possible.

Gu Qi had already been studying Basic Biology for half a month, and he would essentially finish in another half a month.

When that time came, Gu Qi would receive another special item from the system.

To be honest, Gu Qi was quite looking forward to the items the system gifted him.

At least so far, every item the system had given him had benefited him greatly.

"You three lazy guys, get up now. If you don't get up, it'll be gone!"

After washing up, Gu Qi went to the living room to wake the three Ninja Dogs, who were sleeping in various awkward positions.

Human-like, Hachi wiped its drool with its paw and nuzzled Gu Qi's thigh in a fawning manner.

"You're the most eager, don't worry, there'll be plenty for you." Gu Qi placed a piece of Secret Recipe Dried Meat mixed with Secret Brew in front of Hachi.

The other two Ninja Dogs smelled the alcohol and also scrambled to their feet.

"Eat up, eat up! We're going to have to work hard from now on." Every day before going out to train, Gu Qi would prepare this for the three Ninja Dogs.

This was true not only in the morning but also at noon and in the evening.

Only in this way could the three Ninja Dogs endure the devilish training.

"Alright, you've worked hard. Today, I'm giving you a day off, go play over there by yourselves!"

After finishing their morning training, Gu Qi brought the three Ninja Dogs to the waterfall they had used for training before.

The three Ninja Dogs looked incredulous. Rasu couldn't help but sniff Gu Qi, wanting to know if this person was an imposter.

"Go on, I'm real!" Gu Qi lightly patted Rasu's head and said with a laugh.

"Woof~" Rasu retracted its head and begged for mercy.

After taking out some toys for the three Ninja Dogs, Gu Qi walked up to the waterfall.

"Wind Style - Great Breakthrough!"

Gu Qi quickly formed hand seals, tilted his head back, and let out a fierce breath, preparing to unleash his Ninjutsu.

"Cough, cough!" However, before the Ninjutsu could be released, the Chakra ball dispersed in his mouth, making him choke.

After Gu Qi recovered, he muttered to himself, "As expected, no Ninjutsu is simple."

Although his first attempt at releasing Ninjutsu failed, Gu Qi was not discouraged.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Gu Qi mentally reviewed the feeling from earlier, searching for the cause of the failure.

Feeling he had a good grasp, Gu Qi stood up again, preparing to release the Ninjutsu.

"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!"

He quickly formed the hand seals. Once the last seal was completed, Gu Qi immediately gathered a large amount of Wind-attribute Chakra in his mouth and then forcefully expelled it.

A faint, cool breeze suddenly puffed out of Gu Qi's mouth.

"..." Gu Qi was speechless. Although it was successful, the power was truly underwhelming.

However, since it was successful, all he needed to do was practice more and increase the amount of Chakra he used.

Thus, Gu Qi once again applied his talent for diligent practice, combining it with Secret Recipe Dried Meat to begin his arduous training.
