"That wasn't scientific..."
Gua fell silent.
Did Taijutsu training have to be scientific?
Gua had no idea. Nobody had told him, and nobody had ever trained him in Taijutsu. He had leveled up entirely through the system, step by step. In reality, he knew jack shit about Taijutsu.
Orochimaru hurried to add,
"Of course, I don't mean to question you, Gua. I'm just curious."
"Then how can we make it more scientific?"
Gua asked sincerely.
Orochimaru froze for a moment. From the look of it, Gua really was humbly asking for advice, without letting pride get in the way...
Could I actually be far ahead of him in certain scientific fields?
That truly surprised Orochimaru.
He had always thought Gua was flawless, but on second thought, Gua was only human, after all. He wasn't a god.
As long as someone wasn't a god, there would be things they didn't know.
Orochimaru actually felt a little pleased.
At last, I'm useful for something.
"Back when I was researching immortality, the first thing I studied was how Taijutsu training worked. Then I discovered several major factors that affected its results: diet, training, sleep, supplements, and mood.
"Let me walk you through them..."
Orochimaru explained everything very seriously.
He covered everything from planning meals for the week to hour-by-hour daily training schedules, fixed bedtimes, and choosing supplements. Finally, he emphasized the need to stay enthusiastic or at least relatively positive.
Well, what do you know?
After listening to Orochimaru's explanation, Gua actually thought it sounded pretty scientific.
To think the shinobi world had training methods this scientific.
As far as Gua was concerned, Taijutsu training in the shinobi world should have been just like Guy and Rock Lee's: crank everything up to the max and go for it!
He hadn't expected scientific training
