- Let's do a couple more laps and get to work on chakro channels," I encouraged the students who were beginning to exhaust themselves.
- Ryo-sensei, huh, when are we going to do ninjutsu? Or something else, like kenjutsu, instead of spending half a year practicing the same thing and teamwork! - Hoshi snorted indignantly, not slowing down.
Watching the girls do a dozen around the training ground at a decent speed without even the slightest use of chakra, and not even losing their breath while talking, I was legitimately proud of the students, who in a few months had risen to the level of most of their clan peers. Considering the initial low data, this is a very impressive result even with the help of a qualified iryonin.
And in general, in half a year, the girls had grown up, strengthened and gained meat in the right places, turning into young, but girls. Only outwardly, I should note, as you can understand from the complaint. I'm generally surprised that they've had enough to plow on without any objection for so long. You could say I've been waiting for this for a long time to put some brains into the pretty heads.
- Ninjutsu you say? - I snorted demonstratively. - You may have doubled the amount of chakra available, but that's only enough for three not-so-strong rank C jutsu, after which you can take them with your bare hands. Given the relative simplicity of the techniques and the inability to pump more chakra into them, dodging will not be a problem even for good genin, let alone others. And will it help you if your opponent can do more and better? Better to spend your chakra on strengthening your body and increasing your speed.
- Well, what about kenjutsu? - Hoshi continued to ask after finishing her run and letting me unseal the source. - I understand why we're increasing our physical stats, chakra control, constantly practicing taijutsu and polishing the skills we learned at the academy to perfection, but can't we add something new?
- Okay, let's try to give you a sword," I shrugged.
It was better to show what was going on than to make demagoguery. I gave it to my pupil, having printed out an ordinary vakizashi made of not the best quality metal and suitable in size.
- Now make a hundred swings with it, - and showed how - a blow from the position above the head and down, vertical to the ground.
It is quite natural that by the hundredth stroke the little kunoichi had already dropped her hands and she finished the necessary number on one stubbornness.
- Do you understand now?
- Yes, sensei," the genin moaned, collapsing on the grass, "my arms are falling off!
Sitting down, I used Shosen no Jutsu and healed the overworked muscles and minor sprains in my arms.
- To use even such a relatively small sword, weighing no more than a kilogram and a half, you need to swing it quickly with one hand at least a thousand times," I told my students, taking out my katana, which didn't look particularly long for my size.
