Kaze patted his chest and said with a determined look, "Don't worry, Sakumo - sensei. I don't have many other virtues, but I can endure hardship!"
Kaze has always been a man with great awareness, believing that if one lacks talent, hard work can make up for it.
Besides, Pain is now his subordinate.
As long as he can become stronger, he thought, "A little pain is nothing!"
"Since that's the case, come with me."
Sakumo - sensei nodded and led Kaze to his own training ground.
Kaze was bouncing around to warm up and asked, "Sakumo - sensei, what should we do next?"
Sakumo - sensei looked a bit uncomfortable and said evasively, "First, do some physical training. We'll talk after you're exhausted."
"Okay, got it."
Kaze didn't suspect anything and immediately started moving his joints and practicing Taijutsu.
"What the hell is this?" Sakumo - sensei's eyes twitched as he watched.
While Kaze was training his knife technique, Sakumo - sensei just couldn't stand it anymore.
"Your knife technique is too rigid in forms. You only focus on the movements of your hands and ignore the importance of footwork."
"A knife technique should be centered around body movement. When advancing, retreating, dodging, or spinning, the knife should follow the body's movement, and the momentum should match the intention."
Sakumo - sensei drew out his White Fang and waved his Tantō as he moved. Cold glints flashed as he demonstrated for Kaze.
"In knife technique, complexity is the most to be avoided. The simpler, the better. You just need to master the basic skills like cutting, lifting, stabbing, blocking, intercepting, and twirling. Then you can adapt to the situation in battle."
Kaze kept nodding as he listened.
Sakumo - sensei is really a master of knife technique. His incisive tips and demonstration really helped Kaze a great deal.
In the past, he always relied on speed and poison to fight head - on, and only studied how to poison people. He was indeed lacking in knife technique.
After Sakumo - sensei finished his demonstration and stopped his knife, he asked again.
"By the way, you don't seem to know how to cover the blade with Chakra for battle, right?"
"Yeah." Kaze nodded awkwardly.
In fact, not only he didn't know, but also few people in Konoha knew this.
"Hehe, there are a few small tricks in it."
After Sakumo - sensei explained it to Kaze, he said, "Just practice this. It will consume your physical strength quickly."
"Okay, Sakumo - sensei!" Kaze replied.
As Sakumo - sensei said, practicing this move consumed a great deal of Chakra. Kaze's physical strength soon ran out.
He half - squatted, gasping for breath and asking.
"Huff... Huff... Sakumo - sensei, I'm almost exhausted. What's next?"
Hearing this, Sakumo - sensei grabbed Kaze's wrist and said slowly.
"Then, we can start."
Kaze scratched his head with his other hand and asked curiously.
"Sakumo - sensei, what's the method exactly? Why do we have to wait until I'm exhausted to start?"
"Actually, it's not necessary to be exhausted," Sakumo - sensei explained.
"If I start before you lose your strength, I'm afraid you'll have the energy to struggle, and I might not be able to hold you down."
Kaze nodded with a sudden look of realization.
"Oh, so that's... Wait a minute?!"
Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
Don't these words sound a bit off?
The next moment, a current came from Sakumo - sensei's body and stabbed fiercely into Kaze's body.
"Ow! Ow! Ow!"
Kaze was in so much pain that he reverted to his primal state and howled like a monkey.
Under Sakumo - sensei's precise control, a tiny amount of Lightning - attribute Chakra split into countless strands.
Like steel needles, they precisely pierced every meridian of Kaze's body, and continued to penetrate deeper, releasing electric current!
One can easily imagine the pain, which was like having someone constantly cut every inch of your body with a knife, just like a cruel form of torture!
"Please, Sakumo - sensei, not there!" Kaze wailed.
It was so damn excessive that Sakumo - sensei even electrocuted that sensitive part!
"Kaze, didn't you just say that a little pain was nothing?"
While discharging electricity, Sakumo - sensei said with a smiling tease.
"What a kid says can't be taken seriously!"
Kaze was already rolling his eyes: "Stop it, Sakumo - sensei, I really can't take it anymore!"
Sakumo - sensei: "No way!"
Half an hour later, looking at Kaze lying on the ground unable to get up, Sakumo - sensei said with a smile.
"This method can activate cells, widen meridians, and tap the potential of your body to the maximum, helping you break through your limits."
"However, even so, it definitely has to be persisted for a period of time to take effect. So, do you want to continue tomorrow?"
Kaze propped himself up with his trembling arms, gritted his teeth, and said fiercely.
"Yes, why not? As long as I can become stronger quickly, a little pain is nothing!"
"Come on! Endure the hardship!"
Feel the pain, think about the pain, accept the pain, "Then you can become stronger!"
Sakumo - sensei nodded approvingly: "Good, then let's continue tomorrow."
If at the beginning he taught Kaze to complete Tanzō's order.
Then now, he had been moved by Kaze's perseverance.
However, the next day, as Sakumo - sensei increased the current, Kaze screamed even more miserably than the first day.
"Stop it, Master Sakumo, why is it more painful than yesterday!"
Sakumo - sensei was like an incarnation of the Lightning Punisher, with a strange smile on his face.
"Your body will develop resistance to the current. To ensure the intensity of the stimulation, the current will be greater than the previous day every day."
"Ah, just kill me, I don't want to live anymore!" Kaze was in great pain.
Wasn't he the protagonist of a cool - style novel?
Why did he have to suffer such torture?
The author's gotta be nuts!
Damn it!
After the electrocution, Kaze lay on the ground, looking completely listless, like an eel that had lost its dreams.
Sakumo pulled him up and asked with a smile, "Do you want to continue tomorrow?"
His usual gentle smile looked like that of a demon to Kaze. However, he gritted his teeth and said,
"Continue!"
The third day... The fourth day... The fifth day...
