Passing Down Techniques

Kamiya Keiyun was a little excited, and also a little impatient to delve deeper into this jutsu!

"But, I still have to go to school!" Kamiya Keiyun looked at the Ninja Academy in front of him, feeling a bit miserable. He knew that going to school was a waste of time, but he couldn't skip it.

I wonder if I can skip class!

Kamiya Keiyun glanced at the Pineapple Head over there. If he dared to skip class, Kamiya Keiyun would immediately follow suit!

Unfortunately, that kid only knew how to sleep.

"So, if I skip class at the Ninja Academy, will I be punished?" Kamiya Keiyun thought. Although he was extremely tempted, he still gave up.

After all, he needed to maintain an image of attending school every day to create an alibi.

A small impatience can ruin a big plan. Ninjutsu is good, but the future is more important!

It's the same practicing at home anyway.

Kamiya Keiyun calmed himself down. After all, attending class wasn't entirely without reward. His "Bright Virtue Method" relied on this little bit of class time for cultivation!

He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, it was already lunchtime and class was over.

His biological clock was always accurate.

After lunch, he continued to cultivate.

His goal was to cultivate the "Bright Virtue Method" to the level of mastery and hand seals, or even surpass them.

Although hand seals were cool, coolness couldn't fill his stomach.

He still remembered his battle with Hatake Sakumo. At that time, Hatake Sakumo didn't use hand seals; electricity just burst from his body, and then he charged forward.

Therefore, hand seals might be moves only children used. True powerhouses didn't use hand seals!

Umino Iruka, who was teaching the class, saw this and only glanced at it.

He had felt emotional at first, but now that he had seen it many times, he was used to it and continued with his lecture.

If he had the literary talent of Wang Anshi, he might have written a "Lament for Keiyun," but he was just a Chunin teacher with an elementary school education.

After school, Kamiya Keiyun immediately went home. The next two days were days off, and he had plenty of time to perfect his new jutsu.

"Ruri?" Before Kamiya Keiyun even got home, he saw Ruri sunbathing on the edge of his wall.

"Meow?" Ruri saw Kamiya Keiyun and leaped into his arms.

Although Ruri could talk, she remembered Kamiya Keiyun's instructions not to show this trait outside.

Entering the house, Kamiya Keiyun asked, "Where's sister?"

"She went shopping with friends!" Ruri replied.

"Alright!" Kamiya Keiyun nodded, understanding.

The Ninja World, or rather, this world. The relationships between people here were very complicated. Most people seemed to need friends. If you didn't have any, you would be isolated or even bullied.

Sanyō used to be a Miko in the village and didn't have friends. Although no one dared to bully her, there were still plenty of whispers behind her back.

When Kamiya Keiyun was young and couldn't speak Japanese, he was bullied by a bunch of brats. Fortunately, his intelligence was normal, and after winning a few fights, he earned the respect of those little brats.

He no longer had the identity of a Shrine heir in Konohagakure. He should have made some friends, but he was used to being a shut-in in his previous life. Especially during the pandemic, his shut-in skills were greatly honed, reaching about level thirty of shut-in power.

After arriving in Konoha, he rarely went out. Other children couldn't even see Kamiya Keiyun, and if they wanted to bully him, they couldn't find him.

Kamiya Sanyō was different. She couldn't stay cooped up. To avoid being bullied, she had to integrate into a social circle.

"How's your Transformation Technique coming along?" Kamiya Keiyun asked.

"My Chakra reserves are too low. Even with all my effort, I can only transform into a 40-centimeter-tall you. I'm still far from 1 meter, meow!" Ruri replied.

"Is that so!" Kamiya Keiyun nodded. "Then I'll teach you the essentials of the Transformation Technique a few more times. If you master it more deeply, maybe you can do it. You know, your Tanuki clan is also known as the 'Hundred Transformations Divine Tanuki'! By rights, you should be able to transform into anything!"

"Really?" Ruri suddenly became serious!

"Of course!" Kamiya Keiyun said. "This is something everyone in the Ninja World knows!"

"So, our Tanuki clan is also that famous!" Ruri exclaimed somewhat. Yesterday, she heard Kamiya Keiyun say that the Rat clan had many famous figures, and she felt like she had lost to the rats.

So, we Tanuki are also very strong!

Thinking this, her mood immediately balanced out.

"Okay, hurry up and explain. I'll listen carefully. I want to study hard and restore the reputation of our Tanuki clan!" Ruri said excitedly.

Kamiya Keiyun smiled. In reality, "Hundred Transformations Divine Tanuki" referred to the Raccoon Dog, not the Tabby cat.

But what did it matter? Ruri didn't know, and in a Ninja World where taxonomy wasn't well-developed, many people couldn't distinguish between Raccoon Dogs and Tabby cats.

"By the way, where's Hei Bei?" Kamiya Keiyun asked.

"Oh, he's still sleeping," Ruri said.

"Dinner's ready!" Kamiya Keiyun shouted.

"Where? Where?" Hei Bei leaped up with a whoosh, turned around, and saw Kamiya Keiyun with empty hands.

"Ah..." Hei Bei's mouth moved, wanting to curse, but he didn't dare.

"Tell me what you did last night!" Kamiya Keiyun asked. "Did you just keep digging? Did you dig 2.5 meters deep in 8 hours?"

"Ah, you can't blame me for being slow, I dug the hole very quickly. 2.5 meters was done in no time, but moving the dirt is slow. My paws are just this small, and I have to put the dirt into the yard bit by bit..." Hei Bei quickly complained.

"Just as I thought!" Kamiya Keiyun nodded. This was exactly what he had guessed. Chakra's physical augmentation was quite strong, allowing him, a mere child, to leap five meters high. There was no way a rat that specialized in digging only moved 3 cubic meters of earth in one night.

"Come down with me. I've researched a ninjutsu, and I'll teach it to you. You can use this jutsu to dig!" Kamiya Keiyun said.

"But I haven't eaten yet. I didn't eat lunch either!" Hei Bei said.

"Look, what's this?" Kamiya Keiyun pulled something from behind his back. It was a rice ball!

"Wow!" Hei Bei excitedly leaped into Kamiya Keiyun's hands and then grabbed the rice ball and started devouring it.

"I really need to find a way to make money!" Kamiya Keiyun sighed. This rice ball was what he had saved from his own lunch.

He had money at home, but Kamiya Keiyun didn't have a good reason to ask for it, nor did he want it. After all, the more he ate, the more he owed.

Kamiya Keiyun named the new ninjutsu: Mud to Stone Technique.

This jutsu required soil to learn. Kamiya Keiyun wanted to test the jutsu's limits, and it wouldn't be suitable to do so indoors.

He walked to the pile of dirt Hei Bei had dug and raised his hand, then performed hand seals!

Chakra flowed from his hands into the dirt pile in front of him. Kamiya Keiyun discovered that he could define the area of effect for this jutsu, just like when releasing the Clone Technique.

He outlined a cylindrical area. Immediately, the ninjutsu took effect. The volume of the soil within this area rapidly decreased, shrinking from an original diameter of 1 meter to 15 centimeters, and its height also reduced from nearly 1 meter to 15 centimeters.

The space that was freed up turned into a dark brown, cylindrical stone!

"Wow!" Hei Bei stared at the scene in shock. This was ninjutsu?

He knew Ruri and Kamiya Sanyō were learning ninjutsu, but the Transformation Technique and Clone Technique seemed ordinary to him.

After all, this was an unfamiliar domain for Hei Bei, and he didn't know how difficult they were.

But he was a civil engineering major. He had some say in the field of civil engineering. For such a large area, it would take at least an hour to dig by hand!

But now, it was accomplished with just one ninjutsu!

"This ninjutsu can define an area and compress it. In other words, you don't need to dig with your paws anymore. Just define an area with the ninjutsu, and it will directly transform the soil in that area into stone!" Kamiya Keiyun said. "I'll tell you the hand seals. You learn it first, and I'll research further to see if I can change the shape of the final stone."

"Uh, hand seals?" Hei Bei extended his paws. A rat's thumbs had also degenerated. He only had four fingers; how could he form hand seals?

"Just try to form them. Leave the rest to fate!"
