"Sensei, sensei, what should we do next?" Obito asked Natsuhiko eagerly.
"Don't worry. Let me activate the 'tight clothes' function for you first. Stand still and don't move," Natsuhiko said while walking towards the two.
Obito and Guy quickly stood still upon hearing this.
Natsuhiko reached the two, and with his index and middle fingers joined together like a sword, he concentrated chakra on the texts on the side of their suits covering their chest.
Soon, mysterious rune techniques spread from the texts on their chests, forming an array on their tight clothes, emitting a faint glow.
Following this, the arrays on the tight clothes started fluctuating in brightness, adjusting like a breath.
Eventually, the frequencies of the technique formulas on both sides synchronized, creating a mysterious connection between Obito and Guy.
It felt as if their bodies were linked.
Natsuhiko carefully checked and, seeing no abnormalities, slowly withdrew his fingers.
The arrays on the tight clothes dimmed, leaving no traces of their existence.
Stepping back two steps, Natsuhiko looked at Guy and said, "Alright, Guy, you can start moving now."
"But at first, remember to go slowly, or Obito might not handle it well."
"Yes, sensei, I'll be gentle!" Guy loudly responded and began cautiously lifting his left hand.
With his movements, Obito felt a strange force in his body, attempting to lift his left hand.
"Sensei, sensei, I feel a strange sensation in my body; what should I do?" Obito, who hadn't received instructions from Natsuhiko, hesitated to move and asked for help.
"It's a normal phenomenon, Obito. Relax a bit, and let Guy lead your movements," Natsuhiko explained.
"Oh... I see," Obito complied, following Natsuhiko's advice and trying to relax his body.
As he relaxed, Obito felt the force from Guy's side increasing. However, he didn't resist and let Guy guide his movements.
Soon...
"Sensei, look, I lifted it! I lifted it!" Excitedly, Obito looked at his raised left hand and informed Natsuhiko.
"I see," Natsuhiko nodded. But this is just the beginning. Now, you need to start moving, Guy. You can loosen up a bit."
"Yes!"
Under Natsuhiko's guidance, Guy gradually helped Obito get into various poses. They became more familiar with each other's rhythm and speed, synchronizing more effectively.
Simultaneously, Natsuhiko made occasional adjustments to the rune techniques on the tight clothes based on their feedback, further enhancing their synchronization.
Before long, their movements became more intense.
In the training stadium, Guy demonstrated the basic movements of Konoha-style taijutsu with precision, and Obito mimicked him exactly.
Unconsciously, Obito started feeling a warm flow within him, accompanying Guy's movements, creating a peculiar sensation as if untouched parts of his body were being awakened.
He promptly informed Natsuhiko about this.
Natsuhiko wasn't surprised and patiently explained, "This is a normal phenomenon. Although we often say basic techniques don't consume chakra, after learning Refining Chakra, ninjas subconsciously enhance their body's activity by letting chakra flow."
"That's why, despite your young age, you can easily defeat ordinary opponents."
"Due to Guy's advanced training movements, he condensed the power throughout his entire body. By copying Guy's movements, chakra flowed into your rarely used meridians, creating this sensation."
"Oh, I see," Obito realized, looking at Guy in admiration.
It seems Guy's Taijutsu is even more powerful than I imagined. Obito felt fortunate.
Just then, Natsuhiko said, "So, you should thank Guy. He not only teaches you the style but also exercises your body. In this situation, Obito, you must spare no effort."
"I will spare no effort!" Obito exclaimed, seemingly infected by Guy's 'Power of Youth.'
After speaking, Obito concentrated completely on feeling the force of Guy's upcoming punch and threw a punch in response.
"Pa!"
The two forces collided, and Obito's fist created a cracking sound in the air.
However, before Obito could celebrate, Natsuhiko warned, "Hey, Obito, your movement is distorted. Why put so much effort into it? I told you to relax a bit!"
Obito: "???"
"Sensei, do you want me to spare no effort or relax? You're confusing me!"
Natsuhiko: "Your mission is to memorize these styles with your body. It's not time for you to freely express yourself yet. Right now, relax and spare no effort."
Obito: "..."
So, amid Obito's continuous contemplation on how to "spare no effort while relaxing," the special training resumed its course.
After a while, when Natsuhiko felt everything was fine, he said, "You continue training here; I'll go to the library to read."
With Guy around, Natsuhiko was not worried about Obito having a chance to slack off.
"Ah? Sensei, haven't you been looking here all the time?"
Obito's eyes opened wide.
"You've grown up; you should learn to train by yourselves," Natsuhiko shrugged.
"No, we're only five years old!" Obito exclaimed, looking puzzled.
"Obito, you should know that the sign of growing up isn't determined by age but by having a brave heart to face difficulties."
Natsuhiko looked deep into the distance.
"Oh!!! Sensei, you're right! My Power of Youth is starting to burn just by listening."
The guy couldn't help but give a thumbs-up to Natsuhiko.
Obito followed suit with the same gesture...
Natsuhiko nodded and said, "It seems like you all have no objections."
Obito frustratedly said, "No, I haven't expressed my opinion yet!"
Unfortunately, his raised thumbs told a different story.
Natsuhiko pretended not to hear and turned away.
Obito: "..."
But after a few steps, Natsuhiko turned back.
"Sensei, are you not leaving?" Obito asked in surprise.
Shaking his head, Natsuhiko flipped his left hand and took out a card, saying, "I almost forgot to give this to you."
"Is this another training tool?" Obito asked curiously.
"That's right, this tool can increase your training speed by fifty percent."
"Fifty... percent?"
Obito and Guy sucked in a breath of cold air.
Their tight clothes were already a great help in Taijutsu training. If they added Sensei's tool with a fifty percent boost...
Wouldn't it mean their training speed would increase by ten times or at least nine times compared to their usual training speed?
