Private Lessons After School

Fifteen minutes later.

In a training ground about three or four kilometers away from the ninja academy.

The sounds of "slap slap slap" were incessant.

However, it was Mikami Yuu and Yuhi Kurenai who were practicing martial arts together.

After a fierce struggle, Mikami Yu remained calm and composed, while Yuhi Kurenai was slightly out of breath, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead. She pointed her kunai at Mikami Yu, but her eyes showed obvious frustration.

"Again!" she shouted softly, taking a step forward and thrusting her kunai in an arc toward Mikami Yu's shoulder.

Just as the kunai reached her body, Mikami Yu swayed slightly to the side like a willow catkin. At the same time, his right hand shot out like lightning, accurately grabbing Kurenai Yuhi's wrist that was holding the kunai. With a quick pull, he tripped Kurenai with his left foot, causing her to lose her balance and stumble to the ground.

"oops!"

"See that?"

Yu Mikami explained, "When you sprint, you can't be too aggressive, otherwise all your weight will be on your front, and if your opponent pulls you in slightly, you'll fall. Remember to keep your weight in the center of your body and move with the momentum. That way, no matter what your opponent does, you can adjust and neutralize it in time..."

"Um……"

Kurenai's cheeks flushed slightly as she bit her lower lip and nodded. That last moment reminded her of the pathetic state Hyuga Himon was in when Mikami Yu knocked him down.

"And then there's the power generation. Whether it's a thrust or a block, you can't just use the brute force of your arms. You have to integrate the power of your whole body, from your feet to your waist, back, shoulders, and finally your arms... You're a girl, so physical strength is a weakness, so you need to pay even more attention to technique..."

In fact, many of these tips and techniques were learned by Yu Mikami from Hizashi Hyuga and, before that, from Might Guy.

He's putting what he's just learned to use right now, and he's speaking very eloquently.

Kurenai listened attentively, tried to adjust her movements, and then sparred with Yu Mikami for a few moves, which were indeed smoother than at the beginning. This change invigorated Kurenai.

"By the way, Yu, could you please teach me your Three-Body Technique? My transformation and clone techniques are always said by the teacher to be too superficial and easy to see through. You use them so well, do you have any secrets?"

"this……"

Before Mikami Yu could respond, the corner system interface became lively.

[Clone Technique: Hmph, who is this little brat? She dares to use the Three Bodies Technique? Look at her stupid face, it's a miracle she can use us effectively! The clones she creates wouldn't even fool a dog!]

[Transformation Technique: Little Clone, isn't that a bit too harsh on her?]

[Clone Technique: It might hurt you... cough cough, Mikami, show her what a real clone technique is! Let her see what true clone techniques are all about!]

[Substitution Jutsu: Indeed, it feels inferior to Mikami-kun's. (。-ω-)zzz]

"...6"

Yu Mikami secretly found it amusing.

As his favorability rating increased, especially after receiving the limited-edition skin, the tone of voice he used when speaking to San Shen Shu became noticeably better. Even the usually sarcastic Shaman, who used to love his sharp tongue, was now much more talkative, a stark contrast to his initial demeanor.

then,

Under the pretext of demonstration, Mikami Yu first formed the hand seals for the Shadow Clone Technique.

With a "bang," four figures identical to Yu Mikami instantly appeared beside him! Each one's movements and expressions were almost identical to the original, and even the rise and fall of their breathing were clearly visible—it was a water clone version of the clone technique!

Then, Mikami Yu formed hand seals again, and his true form disappeared with a "poof." When a small wisp of smoke dissipated, he had transformed into a gray and white wildcat with lively eyes, squatting in the same spot and meowing.

"Wow!"

Kurenai couldn't help but let out a soft gasp, her eyes widening as she walked up to Yu Mikami to examine him closely.

She even dared to crouch down and reach out her fingers to gently touch "Mikami Neko's" head and back, startled by the warm, fluffy texture: "This...this is too realistic! It's like I've really turned into a cat! Mikami-kun, you didn't use a substitution jutsu, did you?"

"But she's so cute..."

Kurenai Yuhi patted Yu Mikami again, a pure and loving smile on her face, seemingly with an urge to pick him up and pet him.

opposite.

Mikami Yu turned his head to the other side somewhat awkwardly.

Well... his transformation technique is indeed different from others. It's not an illusion, but a real change, so both visually and tactilely, it's almost identical to that of a real cat.

Therefore, looking up from his low "cat's-eye view," Mikami Yu felt a little awkward. Because when Yuhi Kurenai squatted down, her fair thighs naturally parted to the sides, and her red skirt draped down, making it impossible for him to catch a glimpse of... well.

To avoid an even more awkward situation,

With a meow, Mikami Yu nimbly leaped onto the branch of a small tree, walked lightly for a few steps on the branch, and then performed a nimble backflip to jump down. He instantly returned to human form upon landing, his expression serious, as if nothing had happened.

"Did you see that, Hong?"

Yuu Mikami cleared his throat, trying to ignore the blush that still lingered on Kurenai Yuhi's face from her feelings for the kitten. "The Three-Body Technique isn't a rigid formula. You have to imagine the breathing, heartbeat, and even small movements of the person you're trying to create in order to create another version of yourself."

"Hmm...it feels so hard. I can't quite grasp that feeling."

Kurenai Yuhi was a little confused.

Yu Mikami thought for a moment and said, "How about this, you perform the Three Body Techniques one by one, and I'll put my hands on your back and try to sense the flow of chakra within your body. Maybe I can find out where adjustments are needed."

"Huh? This..."

Kurenai hesitated for a moment, but considering that the other party was trying to guide her and had just demonstrated such a powerful technique... she nodded, stood with her back to Yu Mikami, took a deep breath, and began to concentrate on forming hand seals.

Yu Mikami extended his right hand, gently placing his palm on the center of Kurenai Yuhi's back, below her shoulder blade. His hand touched the soft fabric of her training uniform and the warm skin beneath. It felt nice, though it seemed slightly tense due to her nervousness.

quickly,

Kurenai's chakra began to surge with the hand seals, revealing that she was unleashing a transformation technique.

Mikami Yu vaguely sensed the problem and was pondering how to describe it to Yuhi Kurenai when he saw the text box for Gaara reappear, followed by a brief disappearance of the transformation technique, and then it spoke again:

[Transformation Technique: Mistress, this girl's chakra strength is good, but she uses it too loosely. She should distribute her chakra evenly throughout her body, like wearing clothes, and then concentrate the remaining chakra on a few key features...]

"...?"

Wait a minute, what do you mean by "my teacher is a master of the Three Bodies Technique"?
