Chapter 112 Shocking Teaching Results (35)
by SunflowerIzumo Kamizuki quickly stepped forward, meeting Kotetsu Hagane who was walking back. The two exchanged a smile and lightly bumped fists.
“Izumo, I’ve succeeded. Now it’s up to you.” Kotetsu Hagane’s face showed unconcealable joy.
Recalling the battle he just had, he couldn’t help but want to cheer for himself.
As a First Grade student, he managed to defeat a Fourth Grade student, calmly finding an opportunity to strike down his enemy despite being at a disadvantage. It was incredibly Ninja-like.
Kotetsu Hagane believed that the Third Hokage would definitely remember his name, Kotetsu Hagane.
“It’s a pity I couldn’t spread the renown of Ebisu-aniki,” Kotetsu Hagane thought with regret.
Because of Ebisu’s repeated emphasis, Kotetsu Hagane didn’t act the same way this time as he did last time.
Kotetsu Hagane felt that Ebisu was good in every aspect, but he was too low-key and unwilling to let others know how capable he was.
After watching Izumo Kamizuki’s battle for a while, Hiruzen Sarutobi had a rough judgment of the results of this special training.
The special training had indeed brought considerable improvement to the students. Students who scored fifteen points could achieve an excellent score of twenty-four after the special training. First Grade students like Kotetsu Hagane gained the strength to contend with older students after the special training.
Aside from that Ninjutsu which piqued his curiosity, Kotetsu Hagane’s performance in all aspects far exceeded the level expected of a First Grade student, and Izumo Kamizuki in this match also had similar strength.
“The students’ abilities have improved quite a bit in this special training,” Hiruzen Sarutobi thought.
In fact, the score comparison already very intuitively showed the students’ progress, but practical combat scoring had some subjective factors involved, so the Third Hokage preferred to see it with his own eyes.
“Enemy Confusion Technique!”
On the battlefield, several alluring older sisters instantly reappeared, performing various suggestive movements.
Izumo Kamizuki seized the moment his opponent was distracted and defeated him.
Hiruzen Sarutobi only felt his nose getting a bit moist, feeling that coming to watch this ability test had brought surprises in various senses.
“Muzuki-sensei, your students are quite creative.” Ikeya Yu racked his brains, his face red, and could only come up with this relatively appropriate compliment.
Others might not show support, but Ikeya Yu couldn’t not, given so many favors from him substituting classes.
“Kotetsu and Izumo are like that,” Muzuki said with a smile.
“Actually, it’s not just Izumo and I.” Kotetsu Hagane secretly walked over to Muzuki’s side.
“Muzuki-sensei, this Ninjutsu was developed by Izumo, Ebisu-aniki, and me together. To be precise, Ebisu-aniki led us in developing it,” Kotetsu Hagane said, deliberately raising his voice a bit.
He couldn’t bear for Ebisu-aniki, who had the biggest role, to go unrecognized.
“Tanaka-sensei, isn’t Ebisu a student in your class? I remember his grades were pretty good.”
“Yes, he’s a student in my Fourth Grade Class Six.” Tanaka showed a somewhat awkward smile.
He hadn’t expected this bizarre Ninjutsu to be related to a good student in his own class. He remembered Ebisu was quite a serious person, wasn’t he?
“Ebisu.” Hiruzen Sarutobi also heard Kotetsu Hagane’s words and remembered this name as well.
After completing his mission, Kotetsu Hagane quietly went back, accomplishing his task and retreating, his name hidden deep.
“Kotetsu, how was my performance just now?” Izumo Kamizuki asked excitedly.
“Very strong. I saw Hokage-sama watching very intently,” Kotetsu Hagane said, putting his arm around Izumo Kamizuki’s neck.
“That’s great! Now our brothers are truly on the path to making a name for ourselves!” Izumo Kamizuki celebrated with a fist pump.
“Not just the two of us, but also Ebisu-aniki.” Kotetsu Hagane told Izumo Kamizuki about his actions just now, looking smug.
“No words can describe it! If Ebisu-aniki knew, he’d definitely treat you to food!” Izumo Kamizuki gave Kotetsu Hagane a thumbs-up.
Sneaking into the group of teachers required courage.
“We’ll tell Ebisu-aniki this good news after the test ends,” Kotetsu Hagane said enthusiastically.
Ebisu, waiting for his battle in Group A, felt his nose tickle and sneezed, not knowing why a sudden sense of unease arose within him.
“Seize this opportunity to perform well in front of Hokage-sama.” Ebisu shook off these distracting thoughts, trying to maintain his good condition… After watching two more battles, the other Chunin teachers also discovered that the students’ improvements were not isolated cases, but all of them had made considerable progress.
“How exactly are they being taught? Only five weeks have passed, and they’ve made such improvements. Are the students all practicing every day without any distractions?” Some teachers felt confused.
Many Chunin teachers had heard of Muzuki’s teaching ability.
But most people felt that no matter how good he was at teaching, it wouldn’t be of much use. Aside from possibly having a greater advantage in theoretical scores, practical combat was still determined by the student’s talent. No matter how well you teach, you can’t change the difficulty of Ninjutsu.
But the progress laid out before them was undeniable. Students they had previously considered average or even poor had reached a good level during this month-plus of special training.
“Let’s go take a look at the students in the other groups.” After the fifth battle ended, Hiruzen Sarutobi said. After watching ten students’ battles, he pretty much knew the general level of the entire group.
“This way to Group B.” Muzuki led Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others towards Group B.
Group B was testing near the river.
As soon as Muzuki and the others arrived, they saw two students fiercely battling on the river surface.
“Most of the students in Group B have completed Chakra control training. Tree climbing and water walking are no problem. Additionally, their Taijutsu and Ninjutsu progress is faster than Group C’s,” Muzuki introduced.
“All of them can walk on water?” A Chunin teacher showed a skeptical expression.
If tree climbing was something excellent Fourth Grade students would generally master, then water walking was a technique even a Genin might not know, especially testing the level of Chakra control.
He quickly scanned the area and found that there seemed to be no fewer students in Group B than in Group C. He felt it was impossible to have so many excellent students.
But he soon had no choice but to believe it was true, because all the students in Group B would go to battle on the river surface as they fought. Not only could they walk on water, but they also seemed very proficient.
“These students would definitely be qualified to graduate directly as Genin,” a teacher commented.
If Group C was composed of excellent students, then Group B gave them the feeling that they could graduate directly without any issues.
“That’s right, with this level of Clone Technique, it would be a perfect score even by the graduation exam standards,” a teacher agreed.
Some teachers saw their own students among them and were somewhat questioning reality.
“This kid wasn’t that strong before. How did he suddenly become so much stronger?”
They didn’t know for a moment whether they had overlooked their students or if the students had been deceiving them.
Seeing the excellent performance of the Group B students, the Sandaime began to have some expectations for the level of the Group A students.
“This way to Group A.” After watching a few battles, Muzuki led Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others to Group A.
