"Every one of your jobs is a training session. When you chop trees with your axes, it's core back muscle training that effectively combines your lower body strength with your upper back strength. Give me all your strength, and pay attention to how you use your waist." A shadow clone of Oguri Hayashi loudly instructed the group. Most of them were Genin, averaging no more than 17 years old, a few years older than Oguri Hayashi himself. However, in terms of physical training, Oguri Hayashi could undoubtedly be their master.

Facing the shadow clone's shouts, the young men, who had taken off their shirts to reveal their toned backs, gritted their teeth and swung their axes, felling the trees that three people could barely embrace.

After felling them, they still needed to use their axes to trim off the branches. Once the logs were stripped bare, they would be carried to another area by three or four other ninja.

"Carrying heavy objects mainly trains your shoulder and waist muscles. Only when these two muscles work together can you perfectly carry the load. Of course, if you lack teamwork and coordination, you won't be able to move them either." Oguri Hayashi's training methods were unique and distinctive. Tsunade joined the logging team directly. As a Taijutsu specialist, she naturally wanted to see how Oguri Hayashi trained his ninja.

Meanwhile, at the location of Oguri Hayashi's main body, he was personally leading the High Ninja in changing the course of a river.

Whether it was Earth Release, Fire Release, or Lightning Release, they were all very useful.

Ninja skilled in Earth Style Jutsu began altering the water flow under Oguri Hayashi's guidance. The waterways excavated by Earth Style were then baked by Fire Style ninja using the Great Fireball Technique. The soil, dehydrated by the Great Fireball Technique, quickly hardened into sturdy embankments.

"Control your Chakra, make your Chakra more precise. Earth Style ninja, control the shape of the earth, make the sides into smooth walls, and the bottom into a smooth groove. Fire Style ninja, control your heat. If the fire is too strong, you'll turn the soil into sand. If the fire is too weak, the water will wash the soil away."

First, they dug the riverbed, and only then did they divert the waterfall and lake. If ordinary people were to undertake this task in this era, it would likely take them half a year to a year to complete this massive project. However, if these seven High Ninja and Genin were to do it, it would take them only a single day.

This was also a result of the difference in productivity.

Oguri Hayashi was teaching Taijutsu to the Genin and Ninjutsu to the High Ninja.

He was only 12 years old, yet he was more powerful than most ninja. As the saying goes, "The accomplished are teachers." Oguri Hayashi did not possess the Japanese concept of respecting elders and never resisting superiors. In his view, whether they were ninja or Reincarnators, they fought their own battles, and Oguri Hayashi lived his own life.

He would not let their appearance or their wars change his pace.

Oguri Hayashi's decision to become the leader of Takigakure was made when he was still a Genin. While not a genius strategist, he knew that once he had strength, he should leave Konohagakure and avoid the most troublesome currents and whirlpools of the ninja world for the next ten to twenty years.

Of course, this was a matter of self-preservation. If Oguri Hayashi could reach the point of benefiting the world, he would not shy away from his responsibilities.

This was merely a very long-term, ambitious goal. However, after the Reincarnators appeared, Oguri Hayashi's life seemed to have an accelerator attached, speeding forward.

He was only 12 years old now, yet he had already reached his personal goal of 30 years old. He was the strong one, the one who ruled this ninja village. Therefore, he guided the techniques of these High Ninja and Genin with an authority that the people of this world did not understand.

Moreover, Tsunade discovered that Oguri Hayashi's guidance was very special. Ordinary Ninjutsu instruction would only tell you what to do, but Oguri Hayashi's instruction explained the effects of doing so.

This made his guidance incredibly effective. At the very least, the ninja knew what kind of training effects their actions would have. For example, logging could train their back and leg muscles, and using Ninjutsu could enhance their control over it.

For Takigakure, which had lost its ninja heritage, his guidance was like that of a master, earning their respect.

Even Tsunade was the same. After watching for a long time, she secretly learned many techniques for generating force. More importantly, his method of teaching was completely different from that of Konoha's teachers.

Not only were the ninja of Takigakure genuinely convinced by him, but Tsunade also admired his teaching talent.

Teaching talent was a very important ability. Tsunade had only seen this talent in her own teacher, the Third Hokage. Little did she know that in the future, only those from the Hokage lineage would be good at teaching disciples.

Teaching talent was a very rare ability. Truly being able to express one's ideas clearly so that all one's disciples could understand them was rare in this world.

In this world, most people simply recited what they had read in books. A small portion of people explained their understanding, but due to limited language skills, when they wanted to convey 100% of their meaning, they might only express 50% or 60%, and their students might only grasp 20% or 30%. This caused a significant gap in knowledge comprehension.

This was also why, in ancient times, the master-disciple lineage often deteriorated from one generation to the next. Some people were powerful in Ninjutsu but were not good teachers.

But Oguri Hayashi was different. Oguri Hayashi used the simplest and most direct words to clearly articulate his thoughts and make everyone else understand him. For example, the concept of "Tuntian Zao Hu" (cultivating land to create lakes), or the use of Ninjutsu and guidance in Taijutsu.

This was Oguri Hayashi's true talent.

At night, Oguri Hayashi, as usual, hung a lamp on the beam and then spread out Konoha's sealing scroll to begin learning his favorite Ninjutsu.

Tsunade had misunderstood. Oguri Hayashi didn't learn Ninjutsu because he liked it; he learned it because those Ninjutsu would make him more complete and flawless.

At 10:30, Oguri Hayashi put away the scroll on time, using a sealing jutsu to seal the scroll into a smaller one. Tsunade remained silent nearby, but Oguri Hayashi turned to look at her and asked, "Lady Tsunade, do you know Sage Mode?"
