I Can Become Stronger Just By Teaching

Chapter 83: Opening the Door to a New World

As they observed two battles between Anko and Shisui, Kotetsu couldn't help but sigh during the break, "Our Enemy-Confusion Technique doesn't seem much different from the ordinary clone technique."

Kamizuki Izumo nodded in agreement, adding, "Yes, there's not much distinction from the standard clone technique when facing a master."

They have witnessed Anko's impressive performance. She managed to create convincing clones of Shisui, cleverly manipulating them. Despite these efforts, Anko still failed to deceive Shisui and was swiftly defeated.

"I think we should adopt my approach creating an attention-grabbing clone instantly and seizing the opportunity to act," Kamizuki Izumo suggested. He believed his concept was sound, though he acknowledged that his current monstrous transformation wasn't intimidating enough.

Kotetsu, however, pointed out, "But Izumo, you didn't even win against Anko."

Kamizuki Izumo defended himself with a smirk, "But I defeated you, Kotetsu."

"If you can defeat Shisui with your idea, then it might have merit," Kotetsu replied, shifting the focus to Shisui.

Kamizuki Izumo anticipated this move and teased, "It's enough if I defeat Kotetsu."

Kotetsu couldn't help but remind him, "You were beaten by Anko."

Kamizuki Izumo countered, "I've beaten you."

Kotetsu, growing increasingly frustrated, felt that the final exam had been a significant failure in his life.

Ebisu, passing by, overheard their conversation, and the faint clink of his sunglasses caught their attention as he raised the nose pads, the sunlight reflecting off them with a brief, dazzling glint of disdain. With an air of sophistication, he chimed in, "I believe you two lack a fundamental understanding. It's a pity to witness a promising idea devolving into a monstrosity."

Confused, Kotetsu scratched his head and asked, "Who... Who are you...?"

Kamizuki Izumo provided some context, saying, "He appears to be the senior of Group B."

Since Ebisu wore sunglasses, Izumo had an impression of him.

"Senior, since you know we're clueless, could you offer some guidance?" Kotetsu proposed, believing that brainstorming ideas could be beneficial. He even offered Ebisu a bag of potato chips.

Ebisu, after ensuring no one was too close, accepted the potato chips and gestured for Izumo and Kotetsu to join him.

"Your concept is quite commendable. The fundamental objective of the clone technique is to bewilder the adversary, and there is no necessity to metamorphose into a grotesque entity," Ebisu advised Izumo.

"Rather than adopting a monstrous appearance, a more effective approach is to..." Ebisu's voice grew softer, and Kamizuki Izumo and Kotetsu's eyes widened.

"Senior, are you a genius?" Kotetsu asked in admiration. He could already envision the trick Ebisu had suggested, a temptation few could resist.

Izumo couldn't contain his excitement, "I can't wait to develop it according to your ideas."

Ebisu, cautious, warned, "If you use it, don't credit me with the idea."

Kotetsu nodded and inquired, "Senior, what's your name? I'm Kotetsu."

"I'm Izumo," Kamizuki Izumo introduced himself.

"Ebisu," Ebisu replied, exuding an air of grace and elegance as he departed, his gaze fixed straight ahead, leaving an aura of mystery in his wake.

Kamizuki Izumo and Kotetsu watched him leave in sheer amazement, their eyes wide with admiration and respect. The encounter with Ebisu-Sama had left them both inspired and curious, as they pondered the possibilities of the knowledge he had shared, opening the door to a new world.

"Caw-caw! Fools! Fools! Caw-caw!"

Just as they were basking in the newfound knowledge, a crow suddenly appeared, above them. Mocking them before leaving.

As the afternoon approached and the school day neared its end, Makoto halted the training and assembled everyone.

"Starting this week, we'll have a strength test every week and a practical test every two weeks. High-performing disciples can advance to higher training groups," Makoto explained the modified special training test schedule.

In the end, Makoto couldn't resist testing whether the system had any bugs.While he lacked authority at the ninja school to influence exam frequency, he had full control in the summer special training and could adjust the exams as he saw fit. Though he'd initially doubted its success, he now had the means to try it.

Anko, puzzled, asked, "What's the difference between the two?"

"The strength test does not require physical combat; it evaluates your mastery of ninjutsu, taijutsu, Chakra Control and more through an examination. On the other hand, the actual combat test follows the patterns of the ninja school's combat examination." Makoto explained.

Anko comprehended the distinction immediately. The strength test resembled the group test from the previous day, while the actual combat test involved physical combat.

As Makoto concluded the arrangements, the time for class to end arrived. Without delay, Makoto announced the end of the day.

Following this, Makoto headed back to the main city, repeating yesterday's routine by having a meal before making his way to the southern forest to instruct his disciples.

However, after his disciples had departed, Makoto didn't return to the main city as usual. Instead, he remained in the forest, dedicating himself to solitary practice.

"It's complete," Makoto declared with satisfaction, gazing at the shimmering chakra balls above his palm.

Although he possessed knowledge of the Rasengan's training process and the changes in chakra's form at various proficiency levels, he hadn't allocated sufficient time to master it. Balancing daily classes, teaching his disciples, and studying sealing techniques, he'd recently added a breathing regimen to his schedule. The Rasengan had been neglected until now.

His lack of emphasis on the Rasengan mainly stemmed from the fact that it offered limited assistance in augmenting his current strength. The technique consumed a significant amount of chakra for its benefits, despite the Rasengan appearing as a palm-sized chakra sphere, it contained densely compressed chakra, necessitating a considerable chakra reservoir.

At his current level, the Rasengan provided inferior benefits compared to more advanced ninjutsu. His primary motive for developing the Rasengan had been to aid Minato in its creation in the future, ensuring that Minato owed him a favor.

The concept of the Rasengan had been inspired by the Tailed Beast Bomb. Given time constraints, the Rasengan had likely not been developed fully by Minato.

Before attaining invincible strength, Makoto aimed to foster lasting friendships. Furthermore, even if the Rasengan held little relevance at present, it didn't preclude its potential in the future.

With increased chakra reserves and mastery of Sage Mode, he could incorporate various Rasengan properties and potentially reward his disciples with the technique.
