Chapter 117 Filling and Occlusion
First training ground.
The first class is currently training.
Since losing to Class 37, their training intensity has doubled.
"Hurry up! Haven't you guys eaten?!"
In the center of the training field, Tetsuya Sarutobi, Kuroba Shimura, and Takeru Inuyasha were undergoing weight training.
They wore 20-kilogram weights and practiced martial arts with long swords.
Misa Hayama stood on the sidelines, her eyes cold and stern, devoid of any pity.
"Is this what you call elites?"
"Without your clan's secret techniques and those fancy ninja tools, you can't even perform the most basic taijutsu!"
Snapped!
In a flash, she slapped down, striking precisely at Sarutobi Tetsuya's slightly slowed movements.
The boy gritted his teeth and didn't cry out, but tears were already welling up in his eyes.
too bitter.
This kind of purely physical training is nothing short of hell for the scions of wealthy families who are used to solving problems with chakra.
"Jonin Misa, isn't this training method a bit too much?"
9
A gentle voice came from behind.
Meisha frowned and turned her head away.
Sosuke was standing on the sidelines, holding an exquisite food box in his hand.
"Takaya Sosuke."
Misa's eyes instantly turned cold.
"This is a ninja training ground, not a merchant's backyard. If you're here to sell your corrupting ninja tools, please leave."
She harbored deep prejudice against Sosuke. In her view, it was this man's corrupting influence that ruined the ninja way of this year's students.
"I didn't bring any ninja tools."
Sosuke ignored her coldness and walked into the venue.
"I am a special Jonin from the Logistics Department, here to inspect the supplies at the training ground. This is my duty."
He walked to the weapon rack and picked up a training longsword that was already chipped.
"The wear and tear is quite severe."
Sosuke glanced at the panting students.
"Moreover, the children's bodies are nearing their limits."
He opened the food box.
Inside were not any expensive snacks, just neatly arranged rice balls and a few bottles of electrolyte drinks.
"Take a ten-minute rest," Sosuke said. "This is a supplement containing trace amounts of herbal ingredients that will quickly restore your strength."
The three boys smelled the aroma of the rice balls, and their stomachs growled uncontrollably. They looked at Misa with longing in their eyes.
Misa looked at the students, whose faces were pale.
She was strict, but not a sadist.
"Ten-minute break."
She gave the order coldly.
The children, as if granted a pardon, collapsed to the ground and wolfed down the food that Sosuke handed them.
"What exactly do you want?"
Misa walked up to Sosuke, crossed her arms, and looked wary.
"Offering favors for no reason."
"I want to make a deal with you."
Sosuke looked directly into her eyes.
"I need to see your Earth Release ninjutsu, Hardening Technique."
"It's not just about looking; I need you to slow down the flow of chakra so I can observe the changes."
"In exchange—"
Sousuke's gaze fell on the knife at Misa's waist.
It was a simple and ancient-style katana, the scabbard of which was badly worn and even wrapped with several bandages.
"Your knife, was it broken before?"
Sosuke's left eye, through the bandages, could see inside the scabbard.
The blade had a very fine crack in the middle. Although it had been repaired, the crack could easily burst open during intense combat.
For a taijutsu-type ninja, the sword is life itself.
"This is none of your business," Misa said coldly.
"The material of this sword is very special. It incorporates early chakra-conducting metals, probably from the time of the Second Hokage."
Sosuke hit the nail on the head.
"In Konoha now, ordinary blacksmiths simply cannot repair this level of damage. Forcibly reforging it would cause a decrease in chakra conductivity."
"You've been reluctant to change it because it's a keepsake, right?"
Misa's pupils contracted slightly.
This sword was indeed a keepsake left by her father. She searched all the craftsmen in Konoha, but no one dared to guarantee a perfect restoration.
This is the information that Sousuke found out.
"Can you fix it?"
"I can't. But I have the materials."
Sosuke took a small glass bottle out of his pocket.
The bottle contained a grayish-black powder. But in the sunlight, the powder shimmered with an unusual blue light.
"Chakra-conducting metal powder with a purity of 99%".
"If this is melted into the crack, the knife can be restored to its original state, or even become stronger."
Misa looked at the small bottle.
She knows her stuff. This level of purity of powder is a rare treasure, priceless and unavailable on the market.
"What good is having the materials? This kind of smelting technique is very difficult to achieve." She shook her head.
Even with good materials, it would require extremely high skill to successfully repair this knife.
"I will ask Blackie to handle this personally."
Hei Fu? He's a master craftsman; many famous swords were made by him.
However, this person has eccentric rules and never makes a move easily.
Mesa was moved. If it were Heifu, perhaps he really could have done it—
"You're willing to pay this price just to see my technique?"
Misa thought this man was insane. Using chakra to conduct metal powder and then getting Kurofu involved must have cost a fortune. Moreover, the latter wasn't something money could simply buy.
"In my eyes, knowledge is more valuable."
Sousuke smiled.
"How is it, Misa Jonin? This deal is fair."
Misa remained silent for a long time.
She looked at the knife at her waist.
"it is good."
She relented.
"But I have one condition."
"Please speak."
"I want to fight you."
Misa took the knife from her waist and placed it aside.
She flexed her wrist, and her joints cracked.
"I'm not used to performing ninjutsu like a monkey in front of others."
"Since you want to see it, then experience it with your body."
"I'll suppress my chakra to the level of an ordinary ninja. If you can force me to use the Hardening Technique, I'll show you what I'm capable of."
"If you can't even withstand my physical attacks—"
She gave a cold laugh.
"Then take your powder and get lost. The weak have no right to pry into my techniques."
This is a provocation. It's also a test.
Sosuke paused for a moment, then smiled.
"Interesting conditions."
He released the chakra-conducting metal powder.
"Then please enlighten me."
The atmosphere on the training ground changed instantly.
The three students who were eating stopped and stared wide-eyed.
Is that wealthy logistics officer going to fight with Ms. Misa?
"start!"
Misa did not use hand seals.
The ground beneath her feet cracked, and she shot towards Sousuke like a green cannonball.
There are no fancy techniques.
A straight punch.
Simple, direct, and brutal.
This is the style of the Thousand Hands Fluid Technique—superhuman strength.
Sosuke didn't take the hit head-on. His left eye, the snake's pupil, had already caught the premonition of Misa's muscles straining.
"Left shoulder drop, right leg pushes off the ground — straight punch."
His brain processed the information instantly.
Body Flicker Technique!
Sosuke's figure slid to the right.
boom!
The force of the punch grazed his cheek, and even though it didn't hit, the wind still stung his face.
"The response is good."
Misa's punch missed, but her body did not stiffen at all.
Using the momentum, she twisted her waist sharply and swept a whip kick across the room.
If that kick had landed, Sousuke's ribs would have definitely broken.
Zongsuke shook his hands.
Several steel wires shot out from the cuffs and wrapped around the wooden stakes beside them.
Use the leverage to pull!
He leaped into the air, avoiding the sweeping kick.
At the same time, he threw two shuriken in the air.
"Second Sword - Swallow Return!"
The shuriken collided in mid-air, changing their trajectory, and stabbed straight at Misa's back.
"snort."
Meisha didn't even look at it, and grabbed it with her backhand.
She actually caught the flying shuriken with her bare hands!
No sclerotherapy was used.
Her hands were covered with a thick layer of chakra. It was a high-density condensation of chakra.
"An attack of this magnitude does not require hardening magic."
Misa crushed the shuriken into scrap metal and threw it on the ground.
"Show some real skills! Takaya Sosuke!"
She rushed forward again.
This time, it's even faster.
Sosuke felt the pressure.
This woman, although she suppressed her chakra levels, her taijutsu was terrifying.
Every move and every technique is like a killing skill that has been honed through countless trials, and it is even on par with Might Guy!
"Since that's the case—"
Zongsuke's eyes narrowed.
His right hand glowed with a blue light.
Chakra Scalpel!
The sharpness of the blade caused Misa to feel a slight stinging sensation on her skin.
"Is this your trump card?"
A hint of excitement flashed in Misa's eyes.
Instead of retreating, she charged forward, meeting Sosuke's hand chop head-on.
Just as the two were about to collide.
Sosuke chopped at her shoulder with a knife.
Misa's fist slammed into Sousuke's chest.
Trading injury for injury?
No.
The moment the karate knife touched Misa's skin.
The skin on Misa's shoulder suddenly turned grayish-brown.
The texture was no longer flesh and blood, but rock.
Earth escape·Earth spear!
Advanced Hardening Technique of Earth Release.
Sizzle—! !!
A harsh, grating sound.
Sosuke felt as if his hand chop had struck a diamond.
His chakra surged violently, and his palms went numb.
But his left eye was fixed on the point of contact.
He saw it through the microscopic vision of a snake's eyes!
He saw how the nature of Misa's chakra changed in an instant.
That is an extremely unique frequency.
The earth-style chakra particles did not pile up like in ordinary ninjutsu, but instead meshed together like gears, filling all the gaps between cells.
The intermolecular distance is forcibly compressed.
The density increased dramatically.
"So that's how it is—"
Sosuke's brain was frantically recording this frequency.
"It's not over yet!"
Misa's voice boomed in my ears.
Her shoulder blocked the chop, and her fist was already at Sosuke's chest.
boom!
Sosuke was blasted away.
He tumbled several times in the air and slid several meters before coming to a stop upon landing.
I have a sharp pain in my chest. My ribs are probably cracked.
But he smiled.
He clutched his chest and stood up.
"Cough cough————"
Sosuke wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"Thank you for your guidance, Jonin Misa."
"I see it clearly now."
Meisha lowered her stance, and the rocky color on her body faded.
She looked at Sosuke, her gaze softening slightly.
"You managed to leave a white mark on my hardening technique—your chakra scalpel technique is quite good."
She touched her shoulder. Although she wasn't injured, her clothes had been cut open.
"Deal reached."
Misa picked up the broken knife from the ground and threw it to Sosuke.
"Fix it. Give it to me in two weeks."
"no problem."
Sousuke caught the knife.
He achieved his goal.
That one glance was priceless.
He finally understood the essence of hardening—it wasn't about covering, but about filling and occlusion.
This was a decisive step for him in developing the Earth Release chakra style.
