"If there isn't a second Uchiha Meikyō in the clan, then I should be the person you're talking about."
Meikyō smiled and nodded at Uchiha Obito.
"Obito, Meikyō is my friend and your senior in the clan. He is also very skilled in swordsmanship and would be perfect to guide you and Kakashi. Oh, and Meikyō is also Lady Tsunade's disciple. Rin, didn't you say before that you wanted to become a great female ninja like Lady Tsunade? You can also ask Meikyō for advice on Medical Ninjutsu."
Minato Namikaze realized after he said that, in terms of their abilities and characteristics, it seemed that Uchiha Meikyō was more suitable than him to lead Team Minato's three students.
"Huh? I don't want to study with Kakashi, but if I could study with Rin... hehe."
Uchiha Obito grinned foolishly.
Nohara Rin hurriedly tugged at Obito's sleeve and bowed to Meikyō and Minato.
"I'm very sorry, Minato-sensei, Teacher Meikyō, that's just Obito's personality..."
"It's okay."
Meikyō discovered that this girl was actually quite intelligent.
As soon as Minato Namikaze spoke, he took the initiative to call his teacher.
The group chatted and laughed as they arrived at the deluxe private room on the second floor of Q's Barbecue.
Before even entering, you could hear Might Guy's exaggerated shouts from inside.
"Yoshi! Kakashi! Let's start our new round of competition! Let's see who eats more grilled meat tonight!"
Meikyō touched her nose, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Meikyō, your disciple seems quite lively!"
Kushina was even more interested in tonight's party.
The six newly graduated Genin were all from the same class and knew each other well, so Meikyō and Minato simply introduced each other and Kushina before starting tonight's gathering.
Kakashi was so annoyed by Might Guy's persistent pestering that he had no choice but to reluctantly accept the latter's invitation to a barbecue eating contest.
After Kakashi joined the fight, Uchiha Obito also joined the battle.
With Might Guy, Uchiha Obito, and the equally cheerful Kushina, it would be hard for this gathering not to be lively.
"That's quite a large appetite."
Shiranui Genma, rubbed his full belly and watched the foodies on the field with amazement.
Of the three competitors, Might Guy had the biggest appetite and won because he trained the most.
Might Guy had an even bigger appetite than Kushina.
The Uzumaki Clan has a very strong physique, having inherited part of the Sage of Six Paths' Sage Body. As a result, they consume more energy on a daily basis. Naruto was able to eat a full thirty bowls of ramen in half an hour during the Konoha Eating Contest because of this physique.
Even Kushina wasn't the biggest eater tonight, despite the pile of plates around her.
"As expected of Teacher Meikyō! Even his eating speed is so fast, the plates are already stacked all the way to the ceiling!"
Might Guy stared in shock at Meikyō was still wolfing down her food.
Everyone else had a similar expression.
"Burp~ I'll eat until I'm about 80% full. Being too full is not good for my cultivation tonight."
Meikyō wiped his mouth with considerable satisfaction.
The grilled meat here is really good; even he couldn't help but eat some more.
Because of his practice of Breathing Technique, he maintains Constant Breathing at all times. In addition, his training has made his body stronger than most ninjas in the Ninja World, which also results in a huge consumption of energy.
"Sordasne, I understand! The reason why Teacher Meikyō is so strong is because he usually eats a lot, which allows him to support even more arduous training! It seems that I will have to add a dietary training to my regular training in the future!"
Might Guy clenched his fist and Satori.
"There's no need for that. I will strictly plan your training and diet from now on."
Meikyō asked Shiranui Genma for a brand new toothpick and said while shaving between his teeth.
"So cherish tonight, because after the live-fire exercise assessment at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, I will subject you to the most rigorous training!"
Uchiha Meikyō smiled like a devil.
Aside from Might Guy's excited anticipation, Ebisu and Shiranui Genma both had a very bad feeling.
Although, apart from Might Guy, the other two Genin in this team could only be considered mediocre in the future in the original timeline, Meikyō was still confident that he could train them into strong individuals.
After all, they were teacher and student. If he performed poorly, Meikyō would feel embarrassed.
Fortunately, with his ability to see the Transparent World, he can accurately see a person's physical limits, and the Medical Ninjutsu he Tsunade can help them recover to their best condition in the shortest time without any lasting effects.
What awaits these three Genin is an extremely arduous training life. For other Genin, the D-rank missions are agonizing and boring, but they may be the easiest part of the training process.
Two days later.
The training on how to snatch the bell was completed yesterday morning.
The main significance of this exercise was to make the three Genin in the team realize the importance of teamwork. Unlike the Team Minato and the future Team Kakashi, the three members of the Meikyō Team were not full of troubled youths. When facing the legendary Meikyō the Body Flicker, they naturally relied on teamwork to compete for the bell.
Now, these three Genin and the three members of Team Minato have all been sent to harvest wheat fields.
Training Ground 3.
"Bang!"
A water-filled balloon suddenly burst in Minato Namikaze's palm.
"Meikyō, the idea you provided is indeed very effective! By channeling Chakra into a water-filled balloon, you can definitely train and improve stability and endurance."
Minato Namikaze said with a delighted expression.
"Furthermore, I think the next stage of training might use a ball instead of a balloon. If we can pop the ball, we might be able to stabilize and materialize Chakra while increasing its power!"
Meikyō nodded in agreement.
The next step after popping the balloon is indeed to pop the ball itself.
However, it's quite possible that this training method was originally devised by Minato Namikaze himself, so it's not surprising that he could come up with this idea.
"However, if its power is only enough to burst the ball, it still cannot be used in actual combat, which is far from what I expected."
Minato Namikaze sighed again.
"Why not consider making the Chakra rotate? I told you before, Minato, that when refining Chakra, it would be more effective to make the Chakra flow in the direction of the head whorl!"
I'd like to ask everyone, if we were to connect the characters from the two worlds, would you consider that a problematic element?
I'm roughly considering whether to include a plot where the protagonist leads the Uchiha Clan and Konoha to invade the Pirate World. I feel like that would be more interesting, but if it happens, it will likely occur later in the story.
