Training

After Shiro and the others put on their weights, Sakumo did not teach them any new sword techniques. Instead, he continued to hone their basics, which meant constantly practicing a few basic movements such as slashing, chopping, and parrying.

At first, Shiro and Kakashi were quite dismissive, after all, they were already very familiar with this, and basically every wave of their hands was a standard move.

Therefore, the two nonchalantly waved their weapons, wanting to show Sakumo how solid their foundation was and hoping he would accept more intensive training.

Unfortunately, they forgot that they were still carrying a heavy load, and under these circumstances, it was already quite an achievement to concentrate and deliver a standard strike.

They remained casual in this situation, so the outcome was predictable, though Sakumo didn't warn them.

Geniuses like them, who are far beyond their peers, need to be challenged from time to time. Only in this way can they make steady progress.

Therefore, under Sakumo's teasing gaze, Shiro and Kakashi almost couldn't even hold their weapons steady, let alone use them properly.

"This is not scientific! Isn't this supposed to be a weighted load?! How come the sword has become heavier too!?" Shiro asked these questions through gritted teeth.

It seems that Shiro's actions just now triggered some mechanism on this Gravity-Enhancing Ninja Tool, causing it to produce a gravity-like effect!

Not only were the weapons affected, but their weight also increased!

Shiro was alright; being older and still possessing considerable Taijutsu, he could manage to say a few words. Kakashi, standing to the side, was practically blushing.

"If it were just simple weight-bearing, why would I need the Sealing Squad's help? This Gravity-Enhancing Ninja Tool is very special."

"Every time you move your body, the weight of the ninja tools will increase, but don't worry, the current limit is 500 times, after which it will start to decrease."

"That means you only need to practice each movement five hundred times. Believe in yourselves, you can do it."

At this point, the effects of the ninja tools wore off, since the two hadn't even started formal training yet.

After catching his breath, Kakashi asked Sakumo with surprise, "The current limit? It will increase further?"

"Otherwise what? Won't you improve? My plan is very humane."

"..." Shiro was speechless at Sakumo's words, but he had a question, "Are the Sealing Jutsu of the Sealing Squad so strong now? They can even do this?"

This was what surprised Shiro the most. He had approached Kushina before, wanting her to help him make a similar ninja tool, but Kushina hadn't agreed because her Sealing Jutsu weren't capable of doing so.

Shiro sought Kushina's help to better train his Taijutsu, as a strong body is essential for mastering Taijutsu.

Before his transmigration, as a long-time Dragon Ball fan, Shiro's first thought was gravity training.

Unfortunately, Kushina's Sealing Jutsu couldn't achieve that, and she herself stated at the time that no one in Konoha could do it, since very few people had researched this area.

Therefore, Shiro was quite curious about how Sakumo was able to get his hands on this.

Sakumo smiled and said, "I have to thank you for this, Shiro."

"Thank me? Why?"

"If you hadn't opened up those secret techniques to the village, they wouldn't have had so many inspirations."

"."

"Heh, tui!" Kakashi first looked at Shiro expressionlessly, and then, just like Shiro used to mock him, he retaliated!

Shiro didn't react to this; he was now filled with regret. Why did he have to act so arrogantly back then? Now look what happened, he's dug himself into this mess!

He initially thought they wouldn't learn it, so he didn't pay much attention, but he forgot that they could also learn from it.

However, training was ultimately more important, so after exchanging a few complaints with Kakashi, Shiro continued training.

Although Shiro and Kakashi's swordsmanship training programs are the same, Shiro's is actually a bit more strenuous than Kakashi's because he wields two swords and has to practice with both hands separately.

In the past, although it was tiring, it wasn't that tiring.

But things are different now! Now we have those Gravity-Enhancing Ninja Tool! And Sakumo counted them at 500 for each hand, but...

The weight of the ninja tools was increased according to Shiro's movements!

In other words, although Shiro also trains 500 times, he has to increase the intensity by 1000 times!

The previous rule of decreasing the amount after every 500 mainly referred to Kakashi's amount; Shiro's was 1000!

Actually, when he first learned that each of his movements would be more intense, Shiro was quite happy, because it meant that when he reached 250 with each hand, he could lower his intensity.

As it turned out, reality was cruel, far crueler than imagined.

That's what they said, but when Shiro and Kakashi actually started training, they discovered that the degree of weight increase was also related to whether the movements were performed correctly!

Of course, it's a rather rigid approach and can't be applied to real-world situations.

However, that's still quite remarkable!

To be honest, if he didn't know which unit Orochimaru belonged to, he would definitely have thought it was Orochimaru who did it!

This is so high-tech! It's not painful at all!

Complaints aside, this thing is still quite practical and not too tiring, at least for now.

Although this ninja tool increases gravity, the increase is not significant if you use it correctly.

The initial increase in weight was due to Shiro and Kakashi's erroneous movements, but in reality, the increase is minimal as long as the movements are performed correctly.

However, even if it's less, it's still increasing, which means it's harder for Shiro and the others to meet the standards. And if they don't meet the standards, the pressure will increase, and they'll be trapped in a vicious cycle.

Therefore, after Shiro and Kakashi finished all their training, they collapsed on the ground, completely exhausted.

Seeing this, Sakumo shook his head, turned around and went back to his room. When he came out again, he was carrying a medicine box.

Despite his strictness when training Shiro and Kakashi, Kakashi is genuinely kind to them in Shiro life. As far as Shiro knows, he takes this medicine kit to the hospital for a check-up every day.

Replenish medications as needed and have hospital staff dispose of medications nearing their expiration date.

Seeing that Shiro and Kakashi were tired from training, he went to the room to get the medicine box and personally applied the Shiro to them.

Furthermore, to avoid causing Shiro any resentment, Sakumo would always apply the medicine to Shiro first before going to Kakashi.

Of course, when it was Kakashi's turn, Shiro would also help with the application, and the two became much closer as a result.

After the medicine was applied, Shiro and Kakashi continued to lie down, while Sakumo explained some Chakra usage techniques to them. Although many of these techniques had been taught before, Shiro still gained a lot from listening to them each time.

At the same time, whenever Shiro and Kakashi had any doubts about their Ninjutsu training, they would raise them at this time. The two would first verify each other's findings, and then Sakumo would provide feedback.

Although there were only three people, fortunately, there was Sakumo, who had rich practical experience, Kakashi, who was exceptionally talented, and Shiro, who had an incredibly rich theoretical knowledge of Ninjutsu.

Therefore, the efficiency is quite good.
