Ninja school, library.
Although students in third grade and above can read books on their own.
But there are still not many people in this place.
Children of this age are naturally lively and active, but very few can calm down and read a book.
Many students don't even master what is taught in class, let alone additional self-study.
Some students who are eager to become stronger also spend more time practicing the few ninjutsu they know, or exercising physical fitness, ninja tools, etc.
In their minds, only nerds hold books all day long.
Of course, no one dared to say that to Hirito in front of him, who made him the top student of his year!
In front of a row of bookshelves.
Shikaku stared at Hirito, his eyes slightly raised, his expression a little unhappy.
"Cut~!"
He is one year younger than me, but he was still the same height last semester.
Why am I half a head taller after just one holiday?!
Hirito was looking at a book about the common sense of the ninja world in his hand.
Noticing Shikaku's little mood, he asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
How could Shikaku admit his petty thoughts? He pretended to sigh.
"It's nothing, it's just that I've been learning intelligence cryptography and code interpretation recently, which is a bit annoying."
Hirito was surprised: "For a smart person like you, it should be easy to catch it, right?"
Shikaku sighed: "Inoichi and I are okay, but Choza is too slow to learn."
Akamichi Choza, Yamanaka Inoichi, Nara Shikaku, the "Ino- Shika-Chō" combination of Konoha's generation.
They are both currently in third grade at Jõnin School.
Through Shikaku's relationship, Hirito also met two other people, Akamichi Choza, a very honest and cute little chubby guy. Besides his companions, what he cares about most now is food.
Hirito came up with an idea: "Perhaps, you can use delicious food to stimulate Choza"
"For example, if he learns as many things as he can within the stipulated time, he will be taken to give him a massage."
Shikaku looked horrified: "Do you know how much Choza eats?"
"If we go out for a meal, I will spend more than half of my pocket money this month!~"
Hirito said: "Fine food is more important than more."
Shikaku said: "Chozahas been to all the food shops in Konoha."
Hirito shrugged: "Then there's nothing I can do to help."
The two of them chatted while reading a book. As they chatted, they talked about the current popular figures in the
Ninja School.
Shikaku encouraged Hirito, saying: "By the way, since the two brothers from your Hyuga family have graduated, the senior class in Ninja School is dominated by Uchiha..."
"Uchiha Tekka in the fourth grade, Uchiha Inari in the fifth grade, Uchiha Mikoto in the sixth grade..."
"They have rounded up the top students of their respective ages..."
"Why, you, the chief second-year student, don't want to challenge them...?"
"I know that your strength is no weaker than some official Genin..."
Hirito didn't refute, just looked at him strangely:
"Why should I challenge them?"
"It's not beneficial. Why don't I practice well on your own?"
Shikaku looked helpless and emphasized: "Fame! Fame!"
"If you win, you might be able to graduate early!"
Hirito's eyes widened in surprise.
"Why should I graduate early?"
"I think it's good to be in the Ninja School. You don't have to go on missions, so you can practice with peace of mind and improve your strength..."
"And why do I need that kind of reputation as a genius? Isn't it too much trouble?"
"By the way, are you really Shikaku?"
"Shikaku hates this kind of trouble the most."
"You can't be someone who used the Transformation Technique to fake it, right?"
This is meant to be a joke.
Shikaku looked at Hirito meaningfully and said, "Sometimes, if you don't cause trouble, trouble will automatically come to your door..."
Hirito's heart moved and he looked at Shikaku
"you mean...?"
Shikaku didn't say it clearly, but just said: "Hirito, sometimes don't just focus on practice, but also pay attention to other aspects, for example, outside of Ninja School..."
Hirito was thoughtful.
Taking into account Shikaku's sudden suggestion before, could it be that... what happened to Hyuga and Uchiha recently, might it affect him??
classroom.
Shinichi talks about the twelve seals above.
"Hand seals are the prerequisite for performing ninjutsu. We are now learning twelve basic seals."
"Look carefully, this is the "Yin" seal..."
Shinichi's thumbs overlap, with his right thumb on top.
Then the right hand is horizontal and the left hand is vertical.
"This is an "ugly" mark..."
Then he paused for three seconds, changed his gestures again, and spoke at the same time to introduce.
"This is the "Boar" seal, "Saru" seal, "Ox" seal, " Inu" seal..."
"The thumbs are stretched upward and overlap, and the thumb of the left hand is on top. This is the "Yin" seal..."
"...When forming the "Yang" seal, pay attention to the angle of the thumb and the front and back of the fingers of both hands, and don't get confused..."
Shinichi emphasized loudly.
Soon, he demonstrated all the twelve seals.
"Do you remember everything?"
A sparse reply came from below.
"Teacher, I only remember four mudras..." someone replied in a low voice.
"No, Shinichi-sensei, this movement is too difficult, I can't bend my fingers..."
A short and fat boy stretched out his elbows and pinned his fingers hard. His forehead was sweating, and he couldn't form a triangle with his index fingers facing each other.
There was a burst of booing and laughter.
Except for some students with relatively good finger flexibility, no one else actually achieved standard handprints.
Some are even stumbling, taking several seconds to form a seal.
Of course, there are also some people with good memories who have memorized all the twelve seals, such as Yakushi Nonõ.
Shinichi looked around everyone and had a panoramic view of the students' situation.
He had already expected this situation.
"Now, everyone, calm down and listen carefully..."
"What I want to say is, the key to forming a seal..."
