Training the Body Flicker Technique

After politely declining the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi's offer, Koki and her group immediately and enthusiastically threw themselves into the various tasks that followed.

The other ninjas watched helplessly as Koki's team successfully completed mission after mission, their hearts filled with endless envy and jealousy.

They sighed and complained, blaming others for their idleness, believing that it was because the Team Koki had taken away the mission that was originally theirs.

As the teacher of these ninjas, Minato Namikaze truly felt the heavy pressure coming from all directions.

Ultimately, under immense pressure, he had to concede and decide to give his disciples a few days off so they could 'rest'.

Even more surprisingly, Minato indicated that in a few days they would be assigned some B-rank missions that required them to leave the village.

Koki was naturally overjoyed and satisfied with this arrangement.

At this moment, the dawn's light had not yet fully illuminated the vast land, and the entire Konoha was still shrouded in a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere.

However, Koki was suddenly awakened by a series of urgent shouts. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, which seemed to be stuck together, and muttered resentfully, "Who is it? Why can't I get some sleep this early in the morning!"

When Koki saw that it was Obito, she was even more furious and demanded angrily, "What are you doing here? Disturbing my peaceful sleep!"

Unexpectedly, Obito was only there to deliver a message; the person actually looking for him was Minato Namikaze.

Oh right, Koki remembered, he asked Minato to teach him the Body Flicker Technique.

Koki sighed helplessly, packed up some essential ninja tools, picked up the bento box that Mikoto had specially prepared for him, and slowly walked towards the training ground under the expectant and encouraging gazes of his family.

In the early morning, the air is filled with a particularly fresh scent, accompanied by a slight coolness, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Koki Earth Flow, she complained about Minato's completely unexpected "surprise attack."

Finally, we arrived at the back of Training Ground No. 3, where a dense grove of giant trees grew. These trees stood closely side by side, each one exceptionally thick, their close arrangement forming an impregnable natural barrier.

Even if you slash at it with a sharp sword, you can only leave a shallow mark on the surface of the tree trunk.

At this moment, Minato stood quietly in front of this giant forest, his gaze lingering on the trees, and nodded in satisfaction.

Clearly, he thought this place was perfect for practicing the Body Flicker Technique.

When Koki Earth Flow over leisurely, yawning, Minato had already been waiting there for quite some time.

"Koki, look at these trees. They will be your best partners for practicing the Body Flicker Technique. The Body Flicker Technique requires extremely high speed and precision, and the environment here will allow you to better master this skill."

"The essence of the Body Flicker Technique lies in the instantaneous burst of speed and the accurate grasp of direction," Minato explained slowly as he demonstrated the movements.

"You need to learn how to instantly mobilize your Chakra and sprint towards your target at top speed. At the same time, you also need to be aware of your surroundings and avoid colliding with obstacles."

"Okay, I'll try it first."

Koki stood quietly in place, his gaze fixed on the towering, majestic tree before him, poised to strike.

However, at this critical moment, a sudden shout pierced the sky, "Stop! Wait a moment!"

"What's wrong?" Hearing the shout, Koki was slightly taken aback. He turned his head and stared straight at Minato, not understanding why the other party would suddenly call a halt at such a crucial moment.

Minato quickly pulled out a bunch of things from the sealing scroll he carried with him, and then began to work nimbly.

Under Koki's astonished gaze, Minato tightly wrapped a thick quilt around the sturdy tree trunk, and not only that, he also added a soft pillow on top of it.

Immediately afterwards, one by one, the originally bare trees were draped in this peculiar "clothing," looking particularly comical and ridiculous.

Minato was completely absorbed in this seemingly strange task, as if he were doing his utmost to accomplish a crucial mission.

His every movement was so meticulous and cautious, as if he were afraid of making any mistakes.

After all the trees were dressed in warm "coats," Minato didn't stop there. Instead, he pressed them down firmly with his hands, as if carefully checking whether the blankets were soft and comfortable enough.

Then, he walked up to Koki, gently raised his arm to straighten his clothes, his movements extremely tender, and whispered, "Go ahead, this way it won't hurt if you touch me."

Koki was slightly taken aback. He looked at Minato's gentle eyes and movements, and saw a hint of ease in his eyes that he himself did not realize.

Minato-sensei is so gentle; being around him gives me a real sense of security.

On the training field, Koki began practicing the Body Flicker Technique.

This time, he did not rely on the powerful Sharingan. Although the Sharingan is powerful, he cannot rely solely on this Kekkei Genkai. He also wants to improve his strength through his own efforts.

Koki closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths, and tried to calm herself down.

He slowly gathered Chakra at the foot of his foot, feeling the surge of power, and then he ran forward as fast as an arrow released from a bow.

However, his first attempt did not go smoothly, and he crashed directly into a tree.

But Koki was not discouraged. The path of cultivation is never smooth sailing. He stood up, dusted himself off, and began a new attempt.

After several practice sessions, he gradually mastered the essentials and understood the amount and direction of Chakra usage.

This time, the results were remarkable; Koki has successfully bypassed all five trees.

However, next to the fifth tree, a small tree was very close, and Koki failed to turn around in time and unfortunately bumped into the small tree.

Fortunately, Minato had wrapped the tree trunk thickly with a cotton blanket, so he was unharmed, except for a small scrape on his hand when he fell and rolled on the ground.

"Oh dear!" Minato immediately came over and helped him up, his eyes filled with undisguised heartache.

He gently held Koki's hand, looking at the little bit of chafed skin, his brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes revealed self-blame and regret.

"How could you be so careless?" The gentle voice was filled with concern.

"Does it hurt?" He gently blew on the wound on Koki's hand, his eyes filled with endless tenderness. If he could take her place, he would gladly bear that excruciating pain.

"Let's stop practicing!"

"It's... it's alright." Koki gently slid her hand away from Minato's grasp.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found that he couldn't utter a word. At that moment, his eyes stung terribly.

It's not that he's being pretentious.

In this world, Koki had long been accustomed to this kind of pain; as a ninja, it was inevitable to bump and bruise during training.

Even the gentle Mikoto wouldn't care so tenderly about such a "trivial" little wound. As for Kakashi and the others, Koki didn't want them to worry.

In the past, Koki always silently endured these pains, licking her wounds alone, and then throwing herself back into arduous training.

Unexpectedly, Minato felt so sorry for him, and a strange pang of sorrow welled up in Koki's heart, making him want to cry.

The feeling of being cared for and loved so much softened his heart, which had long been accustomed to being strong.

He desperately held back the tears in his eyes, telling himself that he couldn't, that this was too embarrassing.

Koki turned her head away, blinked her sore eyes, and said hoarsely, "I'll continue."

"Hmm." Minato didn't disturb Koki; he considerately stepped aside.
