New Features of the Training Suit

After the boys had changed into their training suits, the two girls finally emerged from the cubicles, looking hesitant.

In a daze, Natsuhiko seemed to see two "Kun Kun" walking towards him.

As soon as they came out, Asuma, dressed in a bodysuit, rushed up to Kurenai to share her experience.

"Kurenai, this training suit is amazing! It feels like you're not wearing anything at all. Do you feel the same way?"

Kurenai's face turned black instantly.

Natsuhiko, standing nearby, could barely watch.

He was somewhat worried that Sarutobi might never be able to show his face again in the future.

To prevent Asuma from saying anything more shocking, Natsuhiko quickly clapped his hands and said, "Since everyone is ready, let's head to the training ground."

"Wait—!!" Yūhi Kurenai looked at Natsuhiko in horror, "Wait! Teacher, aren't we testing here?"

It's OK if everyone in the training suit sees her like this, but what if other students see her? How would she ever show her face again?

"This space is too small. You can't fully demonstrate your abilities, and the test results wouldn't be effective," Natsuhiko said as if it were a matter of course.

At this moment, Obito, seeing Rin behind Kurenai looking helpless, volunteered, "Don't worry. I trained with Guy for many days, so I know the paths where we won't be seen. Just follow me."

Nohara Rin and Yūhi Kurenai exchanged glances, then reluctantly accepted Obito's suggestion with a bite of their lips.

So, everyone left the office and, led by Obito, sneaked like a guerrilla team to the training ground behind the teaching building.

There, two figures were already waiting.

It was Kushina and Might Duy.

However, unlike usual, Might Duy was also dressed in a yellow bodysuit.

He was here today to perform a small task that Natsuhiko had mentioned before.

Namely, to demonstrate the features of the training suit to the students.

So, although he still felt that the yellow bodysuit was heretical, he put it on out of professionalism.

It was just a task from Teacher Natsuhiko.

However, this also led to an awkward scene when Might Duy and his son, both dressed in yellow bodysuits, met...

It was comparable to a father and son meeting in a red-light district, and neither was a customer.

...

Ignoring the Might Father and Son, who went aside to talk, Natsuhiko clapped his hands to attract the attention of the others who were watching the drama unfold.

"Time is limited, so let's quickly start testing the training suits."

"First, let me briefly introduce the principles and usage of these training suits."

With that, Natsuhiko looked at Obito.

"Obito, I introduced this to you before. How much do you remember?"

Obito, who had been sneaking glances at Nohara Rin, shuddered when Teacher Natsuhiko called his name.

However, after thinking for a moment, he realised: Hey, he might know the answer to this question!

The teacher's comment that the bodysuit was modelled after the Sharingan principle left a deep impression on him.

So Obito became a bit smug and said to the other students, "Let me tell you! This suit can perfectly copy another person's movements!"

"I used this suit to learn all of Guy's Konoha Fluid Technique."(Konoha Style Taijutsu)

Rin, Kurenai, and Ebisu were amazed, not expecting that sealing Jutsu could be used this way.

Only Asuma, seeing Kurenai's admiration, couldn't help but say, "Hmph, what's so great about the Konoha Style Taijutsu? Next time, I'll copy our Sarutobi clan's Sarutobi Taijutsu for you."

"…"

Natsuhiko felt a few more black lines appear on his forehead.

Don't sell your family's secrets to impress a girl!

Shaking his head helplessly, he brought the topic back on track:

"Obito, what about the principles?"

"Uh..." Obito scratched his head, "I remember it involves a sensory array?"

"Correct, but it also includes a resonance array," Natsuhiko added, then looked at the other students.

"As I mentioned earlier, these training suits are inscribed with sensory and resonance arrays."

"They can record the chakra flow and physical movements of one person and reproduce them on another, achieving the effect of copying physical techniques."

"However, today, we are not testing this function, so that I won't go into detail."

"What we are testing today requires a small tool."

Seeing everyone's anticipation, Natsuhiko didn't keep them in suspense and took out a storage card to unseal it.

With a puff of white smoke, a small pile of scrolls appeared in Natsuhiko's hand.

He then distributed these scrolls to everyone.

"Dad!"

"Guy!"

"Dad!"

"Guy!"

At this moment, the Might father and son had completed their heated discussion, argument, and tearful reconciliation.

It was unclear what consensus they reached, but they came over with tearful eyes, and each received a scroll.

Seeing Kushina standing aside with her hands behind her back, not quite fitting in, Natsuhiko said, "Kushina, didn't I give you a red training suit before? Didn't you bring it?"

Kushina replied with a blank expression, "I, Kushina, would rather die and jump off the Hokage Rock than wear that thing!"

"And one more thing!" Kushina added through gritted teeth, "Don't ever give that thing as a gift again."

Only heaven knew how she felt when she happily unwrapped a gift at home and found it was a bodysuit!

Grandma Mito almost died laughing.

Not knowing he had almost caused a premature Nine-Tails incident, Natsuhiko, seeing Kushina's hair starting to float, didn't dare to say more. He smiled apologetically and retreated.

By now, the others had opened the scrolls, finding them blank, and were flipping them over to check.

Natsuhiko cleared his throat to attract their attention and reminded them, "You can inject chakra into the scroll to see what happens."

Curious, the students and Might Duy did as Natsuhiko said.

As they injected chakra, they were amazed to see various numbers and symbols made of ink appear on the scrolls.

But what caught their eyes most was a picture occupying most of the scroll.

This picture was familiar because they had seen it on the first day of learning to refine chakra.

It was the chakra meridian diagram.

However, the meridian diagram on these scrolls was much more detailed than in textbooks.

Natsuhiko began to explain:

"Chakra is formed by combining physical energy, taken one cell at a time from the body's 130 trillion cells, with spiritual energy accumulated through hard training and experience."

"Just like blood flows through veins, refined chakra flows through the body's meridian system, reaching every corner of the body."

"There are 361 chakra points in the meridians. If chakra is like water, the chakra points are like outlets because chakra can be released from them."

"You all learned this when you first started school, right?"

Everyone nodded, indicating they remembered.

Only one hesitant Obito lacked the same confidence.

Natsuhiko pretended not to see and continued, "Since you all remember, I won't elaborate."

"Now, try manipulating your chakra and see what happens on the scroll."

Following Natsuhiko's instructions, the students quickly made an astonishing discovery.

They found that as they controlled their chakras, the blue ink representing the chakra on the meridian diagram changed correspondingly.

Gathering chakra in the left hand made the blue ink gather in the figure's left hand.

Conversely, it did the same elsewhere.

When they extracted chakra from their cells, the blue ink in the corresponding area increased, with various parameters displayed beside it.

"Amazing!"

Everyone played with the scrolls enthusiastically, trying different things.

Even the boys started competing with the meridian diagram, frantically manipulating their chakra to see if they could outsmart it.

But it was like a cat fighting its reflection in a mirror—naturally, they lost miserably.

Natsuhiko patiently waited until everyone had their fun before continuing:

"The principle of this scroll is similar to the motion-copying function but instead displays your meridian system's information on the scroll."

"This way, you can more intuitively judge your chakra flow rather than relying solely on feeling."

Asuma, having played too many ninja games in the bar, could have been more impressed by the animated meridian diagram.

He had a bright idea and asked, "Teacher, if we use projection techniques, wouldn't it create a more intuitive image?"

Other students thought this made sense and looked at Natsuhiko.

Natsuhiko nodded approvingly, "Very good; you should all learn from Asuma, understanding how to apply knowledge flexibly and think creatively."

As Asuma scratched his head and grinned, Natsuhiko added, "But you overlooked the cost and portability issues."

"The teaching aids we're testing now might be distributed in ninja schools in the future, so we must minimise costs."

"The projection machine you're talking about would either be portable like a duel disk but expensive or moderately priced like a ninja game machine but hard to carry around, making them unsuitable for widespread use."

"At best, we might place a few desktop machines in schools for students to use when they need a more detailed meridian diagram."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Natsuhiko continued, "I also made a portable machine, so I'll demonstrate it for you."

With that, Natsuhiko took out a small machine and tossed it to Asuma.

"Come, put on this combat power detector."
