This feeling deeply moved Araki.
In the past, he was just a homebody and didn't have many social occasions, so he didn't know much about these kinds of things. The most he attended were family gatherings.
For him, these kinds of gatherings were actually very annoying. What he disliked most was sitting at the table watching the elders drink with each other and go on and on about the same old things.
Therefore, he felt a strong aversion to many of these banquets, and he was even too lazy to attend class reunions.
Therefore, it's unclear what the rules are.
Based on his experience in school, at least, if there was someone like Maemoto Takashi in the class, and such a conflict occurred between them, they would almost certainly never speak to each other again.
There is absolutely no possibility of reconciliation.
Especially since the two sides weren't familiar with each other to begin with.
It wasn't like a fight between friends that happened, a minor argument, and then they were fine the next day.
People like Maemoto Takashi, who were not familiar with each other to begin with, had a very strong conflict on their very first meeting, and the other party even insulted Might Teacher Duy.
In the real world, he would never have any further contact with the other person, let alone go to their house for a meal.
However, what has happened now has overturned his previous understanding of such events, and judging from the attitude shown by Senbon Ichiro, it has further overturned his understanding of potential parents like Maemoto Takashi.
If it were the Forging Technique of the Maemoto Clan that I had learned...
Araki suddenly realized a very complicated feeling: that the things that were happening now might not make him and the Maemoto Clan more distant, but rather make them even more closely connected.
Could this be the legendary act of turning swords into plowshares?
Is it really possible for this to happen to me?
Araki felt that the phrase "becoming friends after a fight" wasn't quite appropriate, because the conflict between him and Maemoto Takashi hadn't been effectively resolved, and he didn't approve of Maemoto Takashi as a person.
To be precise, he acknowledged and forgave Maemoto Ichiro.
If he were to learn the Forging Technique of his predecessors, he would likely have even closer ties with the Maemoto Clan.
Maemoto Takashi was merely a medium through which he met the Maemoto Clan.
Thinking about this...
Araki suddenly felt that the connection between them was quite magical.
He also thought of Maemoto Ichiro had forged the White Light Chakra Sabre, so perhaps he could also forge a weapon suitable for himself through some means.
Araki has a fairly rich understanding of the ninja world.
Many ninjas possess their own unique Ninjutsu, which may be tailor-made to suit them perfectly. These Ninjutsu may also work in combination with Ninjutsu other to a certain extent. However, very few ninjas use specially crafted ninja tools.
In Araki's memory, it seemed that only Asuma Sarutobi possessed a special Chakra Blade capable of using wind-style Chakra.
The rest of the people rarely have this kind of special ninja tool.
Araki believed that a suitable weapon could perfectly enhance one's strength; even someone as powerful as Sun Wukong needed a Golden-Hooped Rod.
so...
Even though he hadn't actually come into contact with these Forging Technique, after hearing Maemoto Ichiro's explanations, he felt an even stronger inclination and desire towards Forging Technique.
I'm already excitedly preparing to start learning!
For others, learning more knowledge might mean more burden and less time, so it might be better to focus on improving their own abilities.
However, none of this was a problem for Araki. After all, he had virtually unlimited energy and could make full use of all his time without being distracted, since he already invested more energy than many others.
For all kinds of skills...
Araki could only say that having more skills is never a bad thing. He didn't learn everything, but he felt that he could learn anything that would be helpful to him.
The Forging Technique is one that can be learned!
Chapter 2: The Forging Technique! (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets!)
Maemoto Ichiro's home, in the forging room, waves of heat constantly swept over him.
Now, Araki, having finished his meal, stands here with his father and sons, Maemoto Ichiro and Maemoto Takashi, ready to learn the Forging Technique.
" The Forging Technique and the methods of training are exactly the same."
Before starting, Maemoto Ichiro spoke first, introducing himself to Araki.
" Might Duy must have told you that during training, the power should come from the core. All the power in our Konoha-Style Strong Fist originates from the core triangle, driving the limbs through the waist and abdomen."
"The same applies to technology development."
"Building strength requires using the core to drive the legs."
"Use your core muscles to engage your back muscles, and then engage your arm muscles to perform a hammer-swinging motion."
"Use your core abdominal muscles to engage your thigh muscles, which in turn engage your calf muscles to maintain optimal standing posture."
"Fundamentally speaking."
"The strength of one's abilities depends on the strength of one's physical fitness."
"However, the process of building it is one that takes a toll on the body."
"This is fundamentally different from cultivation."
"During cultivation, the intensity and duration of the practice are adjusted according to one's own condition to achieve the optimal training goal. The intensity is neither too low, resulting in insufficient training, nor too high, leading to excessive depletion."
"But building it up is a process that requires sustained effort!"
"If the forging time is short, it's fine, but many forging processes require long periods of hammering, and the wear and tear on the body at that time will far exceed the benefits of exercise."
"That's why I mentioned the Forging Technique. Many of us in the Konoha-Style Strong Fist can learn it, but very few actually pursue the path of forging. Your teacher Might Duy, also knew forging, but that was all he knew. He's probably forgotten it by now, otherwise he wouldn't have asked me to teach you."
Before formally instructing Araki, Maemoto Ichiro still explained the advantages and disadvantages of this matter to him.
This made Araki feel very comfortable.
It has to be said.
In essence
All Ichiro Maemoto needs to do is fulfill his promise to Might Guy.
It could even be done hastily.
but...
Maemoto Ichiro did not do that.
Instead, he patiently explained the pros and cons of the matter to Araki, which was very kind of him. After all, from Araki's perspective, only he knew that he had almost unlimited energy and physical strength, and this level of exertion would not have any negative effects on him.
However, his case is an exception.
Almost everyone in Konoha had their own concerns about this matter, because everyone's energy and physical strength were limited, and the Forging Technique was more of a drain than an exercise for them.
"Thanks."
Araki expressed his gratitude very sincerely, because if he hadn't had this green Chakra and had the chance to learn the Forging Technique, then Maemoto Ichiro's advice would have saved him a lot of trouble; otherwise, he might have ended up in a situation where he was getting weaker and weaker with each battle.
The fact that he could do this actually reflects, to some extent Maemoto Ichiro's character, especially since Araki had Maemoto Takashi clashed with Maemoto Ichiro's son, Takashi Maemoto, not long ago.
If Maemoto Ichiro is the kind of person who is cunning and extremely vengeful, then none of this is necessary. All that's needed is to enthusiastically teach him fighting techniques, and with long-term training, his strength will gradually decline.
In this way, she naturally helped her son teach him a lesson.
but.
Maemoto Ichiro did not do that.
"Now I'll demonstrate the basic crafting method for you; this is the foundation of all crafting!"
While lying, Maemoto Ichiro had already walked to the forging table, where a red-hot iron block and a simple-looking but obviously heavy forging hammer were already placed.
Immediately, Maemoto Ichiro picked up the hammer in his right hand, walked to the forging table, picked up the clamp in his left hand, clamped the red-hot iron block, and then raised his right hand, holding the hammer, high.
"Pay attention to engaging your core muscles."
"The abdominal strength travels down to the thighs, then through the calves, and finally to the soles of the feet. Through this step-by-step integration of power, the feet stand firmly on the ground like the roots of an old tree."
Even if you tried to push me now, I wouldn't budge.
"Try it if you don't believe me!"
After saying this, Maemoto Ichiro smiled and looked at Araki, indicating that Araki could come and keep him company.
Araki was taken aback. He hadn't expected Maemoto Ichiro to teach him so diligently, not only directly instructing him but also asking him to give him a push.
Araki hesitated for a moment, then saw Maemoto Takashi's expression. The latter had a detached, spectator-like demeanor, clearly having experienced similar situations before.
"All right."
Araki nodded and, under Maemoto Takashi's gaze, moved to the position Maemoto Ichiro. In front of him was the scorching forging table, and he dared not use too much force, only giving it a gentle push.
With that push, he felt as if Maemoto Ichiro's body was the wall beside him. Not only were the muscles in Ichiro's back taut and hard, but he also felt no force at all and didn't move an inch.
"Didn't you eat enough?" Maemoto Ichiro said loudly. "Or perhaps I haven't treated you well?"
"I understand!"
Araki's eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately pushed forward, this time using only half his strength. At the same time, he intentionally tried to protect Maemoto Ichiro, fearing that the other party might actually crawl over with this push.
However...
Maemoto Ichiro remained completely still, standing firmly on the ground.
"This..."
Araki's eyes flashed with intense shock, because he knew all too well what kind of power he had just used, and he was thinking of protecting Maemoto Ichiro, but the other party did not sway even slightly.
This is entirely a result of physical strength; the person's lower body is very stable, and their core strength is extremely strong.
Because Araki could clearly sense it...
Maemoto Ichiro did not use any Chakra at all.
He didn't use Chakra attached to the soles of his feet to adhere himself to this spot, but rather used his strength to stand firmly, which reminded him of the monks practicing horse stance in the Shaolin Temple in his previous life.
In an instant.
Araki suddenly realized that Maemoto Ichiro Might Teacher Duy's!
"How about it?"
"You get what I mean, right?"
