Realizing the significant flaws in his ninja career, Naruto mumbled and went to learn the basic twelve hand seals from Haku. How could he learn jutsu without mastering the hand seals?
Jutsu is the language of ninjas, and these basic twelve hand seals are the fundamental bytes that make up the language. Haori teaching Naruto jutsu before he had mastered this was a bit hasty. He should have at least confirmed the situation first.
Haori assumed too much. Because Naruto kept clamoring to learn jutsu, he thought that the basic hand seals could be skipped. Who knew that in Naruto's mind, he might not even be able to distinguish between basic and advanced techniques?
Not all children are so knowledgeable. You have to take it step by step.
Thinking this, Haori released the Splitting Dog and retrieved his summoning scroll.
That process was over, and Naruto didn't need the scroll anymore. Signing his name was equivalent to establishing a contract and connection with the summoned beast. After that, it's just a matter of practicing until he succeeds.
As a full-time nanny, after dealing with Naruto, Haori had to continue guiding Mirai's taijutsu.
Compared to Naruto, Mirai was undoubtedly much more easygoing. Perhaps it was because she had been with him, and learned from his example, or perhaps because Mirai not only inherited her parents' blood but also their brains. In short, there was no need to worry too much about many things with Mirai.
Although she wasn't as good as Haori, she learned things very quickly.
"Ready, Haori? I'm going to start, okay?"
"Okay." Haori didn't need to do anything to prepare for taijutsu practice with Mirai. If he got injured by a girl, his years of training would have been in vain.
"First, basic sparring at the initial stage. Understand?"
"Understood." Mirai said.
After saying that, she attacked. Haori didn't just passively receive the attacks; he also counterattacked.
Sparring means sparring. You only improve by fighting back. What's the point of just being a punching bag?
Overall, from the practice, it could be seen that apart from the insufficient attack power and lethality due to age, height, arm length, muscle strength, etc., Mirai did well in terms of speed, attack linkage, defensive timing and angle.
The comparison, of course, was with others her age. At least, Haori hadn't been as good as her at her age. After all, he didn't have anyone to teach him so carefully back then.
In just a few minutes, Haori had grasped Mirai's level. She had improved since their last practice.
This might mean that she hadn't been idle and had been "instructing" her dear classmates at ninja school.
"Good job, Mirai. Let's move on to the next stage."
After the basics, it was time for more advanced training. The next stage of practice was the Chidori Flow mode of ninpo taijutsu.
Hearing Haori say this, Mirai stepped back, calmed her breathing slightly, formed hand seals, and then Lightning Release spread throughout her body.
Haori's praise naturally made the girl happy, but she knew she had to do better.
After entering Chidori Flow mode, the sparring began again.
Compared to before, although Mirai's speed and strength had doubled in this state, it also led to more problems. Compared to solid basic taijutsu, Mirai's use of Chidori Flow was still a bit shaky.
Simply put, she couldn't control the surge of power. Her speed was fast, but her movements were full of flaws.
Although Haori had been training her observation skills, it wasn't enough now. She needed to further adapt to this high speed.
"I understand roughly. Next… let's try the next stage, which you've never tried before. Can you do it, Mirai?"
After understanding Mirai's shortcomings and having a general idea of how to improve her training, Haori decided to have her try something she had never done before.
The next stage of Chidori Flow is naturally Chidori Flow Stage Two. But it's obvious that Mirai couldn't use this mode. No matter how strong her chakra was, she couldn't. Because Chidori Flow "Stage Two" isn't a jutsu at all.
So, her next stage is… Chidori Flow Stage Three.
"Really? Can I do it, Haori?"
After Haori nodded, Mirai became excited. Because Haori had allowed her to use a restricted technique. Although she had wanted to try it for a long time, there were restrictions, and she wouldn't try it randomly.
This time, Mirai stepped back again. After the lightning patterns spread throughout her body and she entered the state, she attacked again. But this time, she didn't even touch Haori.
Mirai, at an extremely high speed, charged directly at a wall. Then, she effortlessly made a hole in the wooden wall and plunged into the room.
The sound of various bottles and jars being knocked over came from inside the room…
Sure enough, this mode was still too early for Mirai. Let's talk about Stage Three when she can skillfully use Chidori Flow.
Haori shook his head.
Originally, when he first returned to Konoha, he had wanted to give Naruto a nude body painting. But he later abandoned this idea because Naruto had a very important seal on his body, and it was a composite triple seal. To prevent unnecessary interference, it was best not to increase the possibility of interference. So, he shouldn't add other special effects for now.
But today's training was over. Haori had to quickly check if the kids were injured… The only person who could injure the big sister of ninja school was herself.
......
Seven days after Haori taught Naruto the Summoning Technique, the latter finally used it successfully. The first one to answer his call was a giant bull with two pairs of iron hooves.
This bull was extraordinary. If it were used to make skewers, it would be enough for many people to eat.
It's not surprising that Naruto's learning progress was so slow. Most of these seven days were spent practicing hand seals.
This should have been something to be happy about. But with the news brought to Haori by an Anbu ninja, it didn't seem so important anymore.
"Haori-sama, Jiraiya-sama has returned to the village."
The Anbu only said this one sentence, but it attracted all of Haori's attention.
Without the Anbu's guidance, Haori knew where to find Jiraiya. Whenever he returned to Konoha, he would always go to the hot spring street. He would definitely be able to find him there.
The facts proved that Haori's guess was correct. No matter how the situation changed, Jiraiya was still the same old lecher.
But time is a butcher's knife. When Haori saw Jiraiya again, the red marks under his eyes, which had increased with age, had spread to his cheeks. Maybe it was to make it easier to move around in other countries. The Konoha forehead protector on his head had been replaced with the "oil" character representing Mount Myōboku.
Seeing the other party squatting down with binoculars and peeping, Haori wanted to shout "peeping" again, but he couldn't do that anymore.
It had been several years since their last meeting. Young Haori had become older Haori, and Jiraiya-sensei had become Jiraiya-sama.
Fortunately, they both had white hair. No matter how old they got, they wouldn't be criticized for having completely white hair.
