Faced with a scene that could only be described as chaotic, Watanabe Shinichi couldn't help but rub his forehead.
His expression gradually shifted from calm and confident to one of gritted teeth.
"Damn it! How many times do I have to say it, be gentle, be gentle!"
"Don't throw them like rocks…"
"And I said gentle, not weak…"
"Go, pick up all the shurikens…"
The group of kids were initially excited, thinking they'd shine. But after rotating through groups, they realized the harsh reality... that they were not geniuses.
Especially as Mr. Shinichi grew increasingly angry, looking as if he was about to eat them. Even Ike-zou, the most mischievous chubby kid, hung his head, not daring to breathe, afraid of a torrent of angry scolding.
"Next group, Hyuga Nanaya, Namikaze Minato, Yakushi Nono, Mu Asaji, Hodo Asuka, Sasaki Aki…"
Ten people stood in position, taking the shurikens from the previous group, aiming their throws.
Good.
Shurikens were not in unlimited supply, in a sense, they were military supplies! ~
In the throwing class, after throwing, they had to be picked up.
Moreover, they wouldn't let students take them home.
This meant that, besides those with natural talent for throwing, other students could only improve their skills through extensive practice. However, shurikens would wear down, so to master sufficiently proficient shuriken techniques, a certain level of financial backing was needed.
"Dong! Dong! Dong…!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang…!"
“……”
"Wow! It hit!~~"
"They actually hit on their first try, they were almost on the bullseye…"
"Not almost, look at that white-eyed guy, didn't his last one hit perfectly~!"
Everyone cheered.
As if they had done it themselves.
Watanabe Shinichi looked over, finally a smile gracing his face.
"Good, did you see that, you should learn from Nanaya and Minato."
The other seven had all missed, maybe it was related to the girls' weaker strength.
And Hyuga Nanaya and Namikaze Minato missed their first few throws as well, but Watanabe Shinichi could see they were testing their strength and angles, and their posture and grasping points were all meticulously considered.
Next, they hit the target.
Starting from the outer edge, gradually approaching the bullseye.
Hyuga Nanaya glanced at Namikaze Minato, receiving a sunny smile. He was stunned, then returned a kind smile.
Truly worthy of being the future Forever-Sister-Bringing-Guy!
Talented from a young age.
This physical ability…
Besides not using chakra to amplify his physical attributes and not activating his Byakugan, he had just used all his strength in the shuriken throwing. Even so, he had only slightly outdone Namikaze Minato.
Yakushi Nono scanned these two classmates.
Indeed very skilled!
She had been paying attention, only they two had caught Mr. Shinichi's shuriken trajectory.
While she could read others' micro-expressions, in terms of physical aptitude, she was indeed quite average.
"Good, now practice on your own."
"If you don't have enough targets, draw a circle on a tree stump, be careful, don't throw at anyone."
After speaking, Watanabe Shinichi walked to the side, observing all the students' practice, also preventing anyone from getting accidentally injured.
Hyuga Nanaya went to a secluded corner.
He channeled his chakra, instantly feeling his arm filled with strength.
Following Watanabe Shinichi's instructions, he threw again.
"Whistle! Whistle! Whistle…!"
This time, there was clear improvement. And each one was firmly embedded in the tree stump more than halfway, this level of force could already kill.
He stepped forward, pulled them out, Nanaya felt the subtle differences before and after, adjusting his feel.
He formed a hand seal in front of him.
"Byakugan, activate!"
His vision, under the influence of the mystical power, instantly became clear, like he was wearing high-definition binoculars.
The tree stump's texture, the depth of its lines, everything was like an open book.
Nanaya sighed in his heart, "No matter how many times I see it, it's still so amazing…"
Adjusting his strength and angle, he launched shurikens continuously.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh…!"
"Clang! Clang! Clang…!"
All hits on the bullseye.
Truly, the Byakugan's ability greatly amplified this kind of ninja tool throwing.
Even though Nanaya chose a secluded spot, it still caught Watanabe Shinichi's eye.
Looking at the blue veins on both sides of his temples, Shinichi thought, "Already awakened the Byakugan…"
"At such a young age, a genius of the Hyuga clan…"
Looking towards the other side, seeing Namikaze Minato's performance, he was pleased. Finally, there were two good seedlings.
He thought for a moment.
Since they were good seedlings, he could continue teaching them.
"Namikaze Minato, Hyuga Nanaya, come over here, the rest of you keep practicing."
The two came running over.
"Mr. Shinichi." x2
Watanabe Shinichi looked at the two. Though they had only met for the first day, he already had a basic impression of them.
Minato was bright like the warm sun, Nanaya was pure like a hazy moon.
"You both can already hit the target with every shuriken throw, tell me your thoughts and feelings."
Namikaze Minato scratched his blond hair, slightly shy, "I think the tactical advantage of shurikens lies in their small size and concealment, making them easy to draw out for a surprise attack to seize the initiative."
Shinichi encouraged, "Good, keep going."
Minato continued, "After diligent practice, one can master shuriken techniques with perfect accuracy, combined with appropriate tactics, one can control and disrupt enemies within 15 to 30 meters, giving oneself valuable time to focus and reposition to a more advantageous location."
As Minato spoke, Watanabe Shinichi's eyes grew brighter and brighter.
They hadn't officially taught ninja tactics yet, and this kid Minato was already thinking this much! ~
A natural-born ninja!
He had a hunch, this kid would surely shine in the future.
Nanaya looked over in surprise.
This way of thinking, was this truly a kid who hadn't undergone specialized training?
Looking at the other classmates who were still relying on brute force, then looking at this seemingly shy blonde bean sprout, Nanaya couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.
"Nanaya-kun, it's your turn," Minato's words brought Nanaya back to reality.
"Body, eyes, hands, heart."
Shinichi and Minato's eyes instantly lit up.
These eight words were concise and to the point, yet they revealed the essence of shuriken throwing techniques. No, it wasn't just shuriken throwing techniques, Watanabe Shinichi had more experience, and a wider range of knowledge. He felt that this could even be applied to ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu, and other aspects…
Shinichi thought more deeply, while Nanaya didn't talk about tactical schemes like Minato, in a way, these eight words encompassed a broader scope.
Even he had gained some new insights.
Truly, the scion of a noble lineage!
This is the heritage of the Hyuga clan!
Shinichi collected himself and said, "Next, I'll teach you more advanced shuriken techniques, which is supposed to be taught in the second year."
