Ninja Tool Throwing

The Aburame Clan is a clan of insect users. They raise a large number of insects, among which are the Kikaichū. These can be hosted directly inside one's own body and fed with Chakra. When it comes time to fight, one only needs a single thought to command the Kikaichū to battle. It is extremely convenient!

Judging by her performance just now, Aburame Yui had clearly mastered this secret technique for controlling Kikaichū. Furthermore, considering Aburame Yui's 'treatment' in class, Hanfu felt that if he went over and buttered her up, there was a high probability of gaining her favor, thereby increasing his collection success rate!

However, Hanfu hesitated.

It wasn't that he was allergic to insects, but even if he successfully collected the technique, he probably wouldn't be able to practice it!

Because Kikaichū were only possessed by the Aburame Clan, even if Hanfu collected this secret technique, he would still need to obtain Kikaichū from Aburame Yui to practice it. Moreover, Kikaichū shared a connection with one another. Once Hanfu started raising insects inside his own body, he would absolutely not be able to hide it from Aburame Yui or the rest of the Aburame Clan!

Furthermore, aside from the Aburame Clan, Konoha also had the Hyuga Clan. The Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan possessed an incredibly powerful ability to see through things. Once they activated their Byakugan, the insects inside Hanfu's body would be impossible to conceal!

So... Hanfu sighed, shook his head, and abandoned the idea of collecting from Aburame Yui.

Walking around to the front of the teaching building, Hanfu saw people from another class coming down as well, presumably also about to undergo the entrance test.

On the large playground, the Third Hokage's speech regarding the Will of Fire finally concluded. The new students entered the teaching building with joy, full of longing as they began their path as ninjas.

Hanfu watched lazily for a moment, then followed the main group back to the classroom. Not long after resting, Kashima Isamu, who had returned the notes to the office, walked in and began the theoretical lesson.

Hanfu slumped over his desk, listless. Theory or whatever—there was no need to care about that. A ninja's fight was all about brute force. If you win, you get the spoils; if you lose, you go down to the sea to work. Who needs theory?

Right, I still have one chance to collect. Can't waste it!

Hanfu lifted his head from the desk. Based on the previous test, aside from Aburame Yui, none of the other classmates had any collection value. However, there was one exception: his homeroom teacher, Kashima Isamu!

Hanfu stared at Kashima Isamu on the podium with bright, focused eyes. As a teacher of the people, Kashima Isamu's duty was to impart knowledge, teach skills, and resolve doubts!

The success rate of collecting from him would definitely be higher than anyone else!

Hanfu's fingers twitched, but he forcibly suppressed the urge to collect immediately.

Kashima Isamu was a Chunin; he definitely had some tricks up his sleeve. But these tricks might not be suitable for Hanfu. Just like when Hanfu was shopping earlier and collected the Great Fireball Technique from an Uchiha, it was a pity he didn't have enough Chakra and couldn't use it at all.

Therefore, what Hanfu needed most right now wasn't some powerful Ninjutsu or Genjutsu, but something he could use immediately to boost his combat power... like the Kunai Throwing Technique or the Shuriken throwing technique!

Hanfu subconsciously glanced at Anko, that troublemaker, then focused all his attention on Kashima Isamu.

At this moment, Kashima Isamu was explaining the principles of trap construction.

During the execution of missions, ninjas never have it smooth sailing. For example, when camping in the wild, one must not only guard against potential enemies but also be wary of ferocious beasts that might appear at any time. Therefore, building traps was an essential skill for every ninja!

Kashima Isamu talked incessantly for over half an hour, yet he had only covered a small portion. But when he saw that many students below were already showing expressions of impatience, he knew it was time to talk about something else.

Tracking, counter-tracking, trap construction, intelligence gathering... every single one was very important, very fundamental, and very complex for a ninja. If he were to lay it all out, he wouldn't finish in several days and nights. Plus, the students were still young and had limited patience, so Kashima Isamu's teaching plan was very flexible—talking about a little bit of this and a little bit of that, then continuing the next day from where he left off, slowly imparting this knowledge to all the students. As for how much they could actually learn, it all depended on their own individual efforts.

"Then, next, let's talk about some knowledge regarding tracking."

Kashima Isamu didn't need to prepare for his lessons, because all of this was already deeply imprinted in his mind; he couldn't forget it even if he wanted to.

"Teacher!"

Hanfu seized the opportunity, standing up directly from his seat. "Teacher, could you explain the throwing techniques for kunai and shuriken?"

Throwing techniques for kunai and shuriken?

Kashima Isamu looked at Hanfu with some surprise, then scanned the other students. He noticed most of their eyes were shining; to them, boring topics like trap-making or tracking couldn't compare to the hands-on excitement of throwing ninja tools!

"Alright, then I will explain the knowledge regarding ninja tool throwing."

Kashima Isamu smiled. "The kunai, shuriken, and even senbon that Hanfu mentioned are all types of ninja tools, but their throwing methods differ. Different techniques result in huge variations in speed, trajectory, and more. In particular, the Uchiha clan's Kunai Throwing Technique can even alter the path of the tool in mid-air, allowing it to strike from your blind spot! Therefore, when you face ninja tools thrown by an opponent, you must never be careless or underestimate them, nor should you use a one-size-fits-all method to block them."

Kashima Isamu launched into a wealth of practical information, continuing to lecture at length.

Hanfu watched Kashima Isamu with glowing eyes. He had a feeling he was about to hit the jackpot.

He had originally only hoped for Kashima Isamu to explain kunai or shuriken throwing so he could harvest it, but now, the teacher was covering senbon as well!

But haste makes waste. Hanfu forced himself to wait for another half hour as Kashima Isamu continued his lecture. Finally, unable to hold back any longer, he made his move on the teacher!

Harvest!

The green light cluster in Hanfu's mind surged instantly. Soon, a pale blue dot of light erupted from the cluster, joining the previous six dots to drift around the green core.

Hanfu couldn't wait to envelop the newly born light dot with his consciousness.

Then, pure joy!

Ninja Tool Throwing (includes senbon, kunai, shuriken)!

Although he had expected it, only when the harvest was successful did a blissful smile spread across Hanfu's face.

Don't ask me my name, I'm just feeling blissful!

With the harvest successful, Hanfu felt comfortable, refreshed, and ready to slack off.

Even as Kashima Isamu continued to talk incessantly at the podium, Hanfu slumped over his desk, drifting toward sleep.

This theory class started at nine in the morning and lasted until eleven-thirty, when Kashima Isamu finally announced the end of the lesson with satisfaction.

It was lunchtime. Some students from Class 8 headed to the cafeteria, while others took out their bento boxes to eat right there.

"Time to eat."

Anko took out her own bento and walked to the back row where Hanfu and Iruka were sitting. Soon, Kotetsu Hagane, Izumo Kamizuki, and Inuzuka Sa also walked over with their respective bentos.

Needless to say, Hanfu's bento consisted of rice balls, packed in a box small enough to fit in his pocket.

"Hanfu, just how much do you love rice balls? I haven't seen you bring any other food for a whole year." Anko grabbed a rice ball and stuffed it into her mouth.

Hanfu's expression shifted. So, Mom and Dad weren't making rice balls every day because they were lazy, but because 'he' liked eating them?

Wasn't this a bit of a huge misunderstanding?
