As Asahi left, both Kurenai and Obito rubbed their cheeks.
Why did everything today feel so rushed? It was like they were dreaming.
"Sis, does this mean we're officially disciples now?"
Kurenai tentatively asked, and Kushina nodded.
"Yes, since Master passed on the methods of training, it's considered an official apprenticeship."
"But isn't this apprenticeship ceremony too hasty?"
Obito couldn't help but complain, and Kushina shot him a dark look.
What? I organized and conducted it personally, and you still find it rushed? You wouldn't believe how rushed my own apprenticeship was compared to yours!
Seeing Kushina's slightly annoyed expression, Obito couldn't help but feel uneasy.
"Sis, is something bothering you?"
"Nothing."
Kushina rubbed her face, "Since Master has made arrangements, you two should go rest for now. Remember to gather at my place tomorrow."
"Sure thing, Sis."
"Don't forget to practice the Secret Art when you go back; there might be surprises."
Kushina reminded them with a smile.
"Don't worry, Sis."
With his goal achieved, Asahi was now leisurely strolling through Konoha. Of course, his mind was occupied with the rewards he had just received.
"Flash Step" — as the name suggested, it was a technique to increase movement speed. Similar to Body Flicker Technique, but with the incorporation of spatial manipulation, giving it a touch of Flying Thunder God Technique.
So, unlike the Body Flicker Technique that leaves the body momentarily stiff for a second after use, the Flash step seamlessly, much like a genuine time-space ninjutsu.
However, the downside is that, since it doesn't involve a spatial leap, the user's movement trajectory can be observed by enemies.
Yet, this compensates for the drawback of the Flying Thunder God Technique, which requires marking the destination with a seal.
Asahi was quite satisfied with this technique. Not only was it a fantastic travel skill, but it could also be showcased impressively in battles.
Leaving aside these thoughts, the power of the Inner Eight Extremities Fist pleasantly surprised Asahi.
By channeling chakra flow within the body and combining it with specific striking techniques, each attack of the Inner Eight Extremities Fist could cause significant damage.
Moreover, among the Inner Eight Extremities Fist techniques Asahi acquired, there were numerous energy-releasing attacks, significantly enhancing its offensive capabilities.
One could say that this single reward could establish an entire martial arts lineage.
The crucial point was that the Inner Eight Extremities Fist could be activated with ordinary chakra.
Of course, if used with Sage Chakra, its power would undoubtedly multiply.
Asahi couldn't help but contemplate the potential of his disciples.
Except for Kushina, who possessed a talent for Taijutsu and had a chance at complete mastery, others might only scratch the surface.
Should he consider taking in disciples specializing in martial arts?
Given the system's tendencies, receiving the Inner Eight Extremities Fist implied the likelihood of more martial arts rewards in the future.
If he didn't recruit talented martial artists, wouldn't these rewards go to waste?
Asahi pledged that his motivation was purely to enhance the legacy of the Tazuna Clan, not just for the sake of the system's rewards.
Thinking of Taijutsu master, Might Guy was undoubtedly the first to cross Asahi's mind.
Asahi speculated that Might Guy's talent was at least A-rank, with all points invested in Taijutsu.
However, if he were to take Might Guy as his disciple...
The thought of Might Guy's wearing green spandex suit, smooth and round watermelon head, shining white teeth, and his easily tearful personality sent shivers down Asahi's spine.
What if he got infected with such a personality?
Just the occasional encounter was already a bit much for Asahi. If it happened every day, he felt he would go mad.
Well, let's consider it later. Asahi decided not to rush into such a decision. He muttered to himself that losing an A-rank wouldn't be too much for him.
With various thoughts swirling in his mind, Asahi slowly left the fading streets of Konoha. As more trees appeared, the surroundings grew quieter.
Hmm? Unconsciously, he walked to the outskirts of Konoha? This is... the Konoha Training Ground?
Surveying the surroundings, Asahi thought about his current location.
He wasn't too concerned; after all, there was still plenty of time. Strolling around wouldn't hurt.
Also a perfect timing and place!
This place seems spacious enough, just right for testing the effectiveness of the Flash Step
With this thought in mind, Asahi casually selected a stretch of distance.
As the chakra circulated within him, the next moment, Asahi disappeared from his original position.
Simultaneously, with almost no interval in time, Asahi instantly revealed himself hundreds of meters away.
This wasn't teleportation; it was merely because the speed was so rapid that the naked eye couldn't catch his figure.
Since it was his first attempt, Asahi stopped after covering just a few hundred meters.
Even so, covering several hundred meters is a distance that an ordinary ninja would take several seconds to traverse with all their might.
However, Asahi, in just an instant, had moved such a considerable distance.
Moreover, if Asahi wished, he could continue moving until his chakra was depleted.
As he sensed the scenery rushing by, Asahi also realized the major drawback of this technique.
The main issue lies in its impracticality in combat if the observer lacks sufficient perceptiveness.
Flash Step is a simple folding of space, allowing the user to take a single step covering a great distance. However, the caster remains within that space, unlike techniques such as Flying Raijin or Kamui, which shift the user to another space.
Therefore, if there are obstacles along the path, and the caster fails to dodge them, a collision is inevitable.
In such a scenario, colliding with obstacles carries consequences that are easy to foresee.
