While savoring the delicious pies, he chatted idly with the two young ones, passing the time.
At the same time, he didn't forget to promote his own meditation practice method.
As the saying goes, a single flower does not make a spring. Now bound with the Uchiha clan, the stronger the clan members were, the higher his safety coefficient would be.
Although their expressions clearly didn't believe much in the effectiveness of this practice method, it didn't matter. Everyone had their own way of growing. It was enough that they had the intention.
Before they knew it, the time had already reached six o'clock.
With a "whoosh," the sound of air being split by the Body Flicker Technique echoed.
"Teacher Shigemasa, good morning!" x3
Seeing the familiar green vest of the newcomer, the three of them greeted him in unison.
"Well! Everyone's here quite early, it seems you're all looking forward to this special training!" Uchiha Shigemasa smiled contentedly, looking at the three disciples who had arrived early and were chatting idly.
"Teacher, this is a pie prepared by 'Mom.' You can try it; it's really delicious!" Seeing Teacher Shigemasa arrive, Uchiha Tetsu quickly took out the pies his mother had prepared from his backpack and handed them to his teacher while they were still warm.
Although he had already had breakfast, he didn't refuse the disciple's good intentions.
"Your mother is very thoughtful, thank her for me!" Taking the pie from Tetsu, Teacher Shigemasa smiled and took a generous bite. He praised, "It's very delicious! It seems you have a loving mother!"
Uchiha Shigemasa understood but didn't say anything about Tetsu's mother preparing breakfast to help her son and his teammates get closer to the teacher. This kind of thing was very common in ninja teams. Just like how he would invite his students to eat barbecue together, it was also a way to strengthen their bonds.
"Although you've had a delicious pie, I won't go easy on you in the training that follows!" After tasting the delicious pie, he wiped his mouth and said with a smile. He then announced the first training content of the day: "First, we'll have a half-hour sprint at top speed!"
"I'll follow behind you and provide guidance at any time! Be careful!"
As he spoke, he formed seals and created two Shadow Clones. Including his own body, there were now three Teacher Shigemasa, each standing behind Fuyu Shirou, Tetsu, and Flame.
"Ten, nine, eight, seven..."
At the same time, he began to count down. It was clear that once the time was up, he would immediately chase after them.
"Oh! What an exciting special training! Come on, Teacher Shigemasa, I'll show you my strength!"
Hearing this, Uchiha Tetsu, full of enthusiasm, turned around without hesitation and was the first to dash into the forest, starting his sprint at top speed.
[This idiot!] x2
Seeing this, Fuyu Shirou and Flame both cursed in their hearts.
Uchiha Tetsu had dashed off alone, leaving Fuyu Shirou and Flame behind.
[Doesn't he know that in the forest, we will definitely face the teacher's pursuit? Without mutual cooperation, our stamina will be quickly exhausted.]
"Six, five, four..."
Hearing Teacher Shigemasa's unchanged countdown, Fuyu Shirou and Flame, who remained in place, exchanged a speechless look and then turned to look at the three Teacher Shigemasa, who were all heading in different directions into the forest.
Seeing the teacher create two Shadow Clones and his own body, it was clear that he was going to give them individual attention. With Tetsu's 'excellent' performance, it would be extremely difficult to cover for each other. They might as well take care of themselves.
[Just after eating, we have to do such intense exercise, how exciting!]
Running through the forest, Fuyu Shirou glanced back and couldn't help but comment.
For him, this kind of training was routine. Every morning, he would do an hour of weighted sprinting. Since he didn't bring his weights today for the special training and didn't do this training, he considered it a make-up for today's routine.
In no time, sounds of complaints such as "Ouch! That hurts!" and "Teacher, you're so despicable!" echoed through the forest.
It was clear that the other two had been caught by the teacher's clones or his real body and had been attacked, and they had predictably fallen victim.
At the same time, a "tap" sounded behind Fuyu Shirou, the sound of his shoes touching the tree trunk. Then came the "whoosh" of shurikens flying towards him.
For this kind of attack with an obvious 'reminder' intent, Fuyu Shirou handled it with ease. He stepped on a nearby tree trunk, and his figure darted behind a large tree, easily using the trunk to dodge the wave of shurikens.
Even the second wave of attacks, where the shurikens collided in mid-air and changed direction, he easily avoided by leaping onto the treetops.
For the next while, the forest occasionally echoed with the pain cries of Tetsu and Flame as they were hit, and the Teacher Shigemasa following Fuyu Shirou, seeing him dodge the initial attacks, increased the frequency and suddenness of his attacks.
This made Fuyu Shirou feel a bit overwhelmed, his stamina rapidly depleting, and his breathing becoming slightly labored.
The short half-hour of training passed quickly. At the center of the training ground, Fuyu Shirou and the other two stood before Teacher Shigemasa, all exhausted.
Uchiha Tetsu was drenched in sweat, his breathing heavy and continuous, unable to stop. His face was bruised and swollen, as if he had received special treatment.
Uchiha Flame's legs trembled, barely able to stand, looking like she might fall at any moment, her face pale. However, she didn't look as bad as Tetsu, just a bit weak.
Fuyu Shirou's condition was the best, but his disheveled clothes, the dust all over his body, and his heaving chest and sweaty forehead showed that he had also suffered a lot.
In the forest, he had received special attention from Teacher Shigemasa. Not only did he face second-wave attacks with shurikens and kunai, but the teacher himself would occasionally teleport behind him and launch sudden taijutsu attacks.
The strength, speed, and rhythm of these attacks were clearly different from the beginning, becoming increasingly difficult to handle.
In the end, he had to use the 'Rolling Like a Lazy Donkey' technique to narrowly escape.
