Chapter 195

"Pfft~~" With Shiro's kick, the unprepared Okita made intimate contact with the ground.

"Ah~ Shiro- nii, what are you doing? I was almost there!" Okita said to Shiro as he got up from the ground, sounding like he was complaining.

"Success? You really don't know your own limitations. With your current level, you think you can develop Ninjutsu? You can use the Gale Palm I taught you in a second?"

"It's okay, I know what I'm doing, but I can succeed, I'm confident!"

"Confidence? Fine, then tell me your thought process. What's your progress?" Although he was quite angry, Shiro decided to listen to Okita's ideas first.

Shiro was quite familiar with Okita's current situation, after all, he had been through the same thing. Everyone goes through a rebellious phase, and at this point, the only option was to guide him; otherwise, it would only backfire.

Therefore, Shiro simply went along with his wishes, letting him speak first, and then refuting him little by little.

As for successfully developing it? How could that be possible? It would be lucky if they didn't die. If everyone could develop Ninjutsu, small villages wouldn't have such a hard time making a name for themselves.

However, Shiro could also help him assess the feasibility, since Shiro himself, due to the characteristics of Projection Magecraft, was already a learned ninja proficient in thousands of Ninjutsu!

Although he was only theoretically proficient in these thousands of techniques and couldn't actually use them, since he could understand them in his mind but not in his body, he had to study many specific details on his own. This required him to gradually become proficient and couldn't be rushed.

However, it is more than enough to guide Okita, since there are some subtle aspects of Okita that others are not aware of, and anyone else would teach him in the same way.

Upon hearing Shiro's words, Okita straightened up and confidently said, "Brother Shiro, what I want to develop is a flying Ninjutsu, because it's very convenient!"

"Hmm, very good, minus one." Although Shiro nodded nonchalantly, letting him continue, in reality, this was a big deduction.

The development of Ninjutsu often begins with limiting the developer's thinking, but that's only the first step. Having an idea is not enough; sufficient ability is also needed for research and development.

Okita's approach is quite ordinary.

First, almost everyone knows that it's more advantageous to be in the air. Second, the Super Light- Light-Weight Rock Technique of Iwagakure isn't a top secret; many people know about it.

Therefore, flying Ninjutsu is not something that is difficult to come up with, but to this day, there are only a few Ninjutsu that can enable flight, which speaks volumes.

However, Okita was unaware of Shiro's inner thoughts. He excitedly told Shiro, "I chose Wind Release because Shiro- nii taught me Gale Palm, which has the potential to amplify speed. Therefore, I thought Wind Release would be easier to obtain."

'Great, another point!'

Wind Release does indeed significantly increase speed and makes it easy for people to fly.

However, Wind Release has a fatal weakness in achieving flight: it requires continuous guidance!

There was a saying in Shiro's previous life's kingdom, "Wind has no form and clouds have no shape." To truly fly, one needs to maintain a relatively fixed shape with Wind Release, which is incredibly difficult.

The wind is too fluid. It's not that it's impossible; many ninjas can do it, including Shiro.

However, this would distract you completely, rendering the Ninjutsu meaningless. Flying would only make you a target. The speed boost from Gale Palm would only last for a short while, but you can't exactly fly halfway, drop down, and then fly up again, can you?

Therefore, Okita is a typical example of a weak foundation.

This time, Shiro didn't nod. These two points were enough to sentence him to death, unless he understood more advanced Ninjutsu.

However, to put it bluntly, Shiro's theoretical knowledge is more extensive than that of his team leader.

Therefore, Shiro was well aware of Okita's current level of knowledge.

"You just said you're almost there, so give it a try. I'll interrupt you if you have any problems."

"Hmm? Is that enough?" Okita asked in surprise. He had thought Shiro would keep asking questions for a long time, and he had even prepared a lot of excuses. But this was ultimately a good thing. "Just wait and see, Shiro- nii!"

Therefore, Okita, took a few steps back, and took a deep breath to adjust his state. Whether or not he could gain Shiro's approval was very important to him.

Although he calls Shiro" brother," in his heart he actually regards Shiro as his teacher, because Shiro taught him many things.

Whether it was Taijutsu or Ninjutsu, Shiro taught him everything without reservation, for he was deeply indebted to him.

Therefore, he really wanted to impress Shiro and gain Shiro approval!

Finally, under Shiro's watchful gaze, he began his Ninjutsu. There weren't many hand seals, only about five, and if one was skilled, one could execute them in less than two seconds.

However, it is worth noting that Okita's last seal, the Chen Seal, was never loosened.

'Just as I thought.'

Seeing this, Shiro sighed inwardly. To be honest, Shiro really didn't want to discourage him. As a commoner, being able to break into the Elite Class was a remarkable achievement.

But that's about it. In the Elite Class of talented people and from prominent families, he wasn't that outstanding. Therefore, this time, Shiro intended to give him a good encouragement.

Even if his ideas weren't very good, Shiro felt that if he showed any novelty, he should still be given some encouragement.

Unfortunately, Okita failed to do so. Shiro was well aware of Okita's approach, not only because other ninjas had experimented with it, but also because Shiro had considered the issue himself.

When he first transmigrated, he thought his superiority over the characters in Hokage lay in his mindset, which was born in the information explosion era. Unfortunately, reality shattered his illusions. Shiro had seen this method in the school library.

After all, human Ninjutsu has been developed for over a thousand years. Moreover, Konoha has produced a master of Water Release (a forbidden technique) who specializes in developing Ninjutsu. Apart from some particularly ingenious ideas, almost everything else has been thought of.

Flights were also included, and the school library contains many case studies.

Many examples have already proven the flaws of this method, but Okita still chose it. Clearly, he didn't take Shiro's advice to spend more time in the library to heart. Unless his control is comparable to Sage Mode, this Ninjutsu is still worthless!

Although Shiro had already rejected him in his heart, he remained outwardly calm and continued to observe so as not to affect Okita.

At that moment, as Okita focused his energy, streams of air converged towards him.

This is different from what Shiro had envisioned. Okita didn't have it surround him, but rather gather it behind him, forming two tornado-like wind trails! (The initial form of one wing)

Gradually, as the wind tunnel grew stronger, Okita slowly rose up! It stopped when it reached a height of about two meters.

"How is it, Shiro Brother?"

The next chapter will still be tonight...
