Avengers of the Whirlpool Family

Because they are all orphans!

This also made Menma not know what attitude he should use towards Iruka now, especially in the future.

After all, Menma is not a truly cold-blooded person.

It is impossible to completely ignore the kindness of others.

All we can say is take one step at a time and see what happens next.

However, Iruka is willing to pay more attention to his interaction with Menma, which is also a good thing. At least Menma can have some private treatment here with Iruka.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Iruka seems to be just a Chunin.

But it should be noted that those who can be promoted to Chunin in the Ninja World are already considered to be people with certain talents.

Not to mention that Iruka could become a teacher in the ninja school, so he must have very solid theoretical knowledge.

The fact that he was also able to guide many of the next generation of talented ninjas, including Menma, Naruto, and Sasuke, is proof enough of Iruka's ability in coaching.

Konoha is a large ninja village.

Why was Iruka the one in charge of Menma's class instead of someone else? This was already very telling.

Therefore, when it comes to basic training, Menma trusts Iruka very much.

After seeing Menma's learning attitude and ability, Iruka is willing to occasionally give Menma more guidance outside of class.

For example, the three body techniques that ninjas need to master during the ninja school stage.

Logically speaking, it should be taught to students in later courses.

But Menma can be learned in advance.

Menma is also a good example of what a genius is, especially when there is no interference from the Nine-Tails' chakra.

In just less than a week.

That is to master the three most basic and important techniques for ninjas: transformation technique, substitution technique, and clone technique.

Of course, the so-called mastery here only means the initial ability to use it.

But this was enough to astound Iruka.

After all, the Three Body Technique is a basic technique, but it is not so easy to learn, and it also requires the caster to have very good chakra control.

When Iruka himself was learning the Three Body Technique, it would take him a week or even more to master a single technique.

The most difficult of them is the art of clone.

I wasted even more time.

Now we see that Menma mastered the Three Body Technique in just one week.

Iruka would naturally be amazed.

However, Menma himself was not very satisfied.

because.

"Peng!"

"Boom!"

When it comes to his mastery of the technique, Menma is clearly still a little bit unsatisfactory.

Look at the small stump that fell to the ground.

Menma's brows frowned slightly.

Talk about it.

The substitution technique is the easiest to learn among the three techniques, but it is also the most difficult to use because it requires a good grasp of timing.

The substitution technique does not have any characteristics of spatial techniques.

If it is really related to space techniques, can it still be one of the basic learning techniques in ninja schools?

That's not pure bullshit.

To put it bluntly, this technique is just a sleight of hand.

In battles between high-level ninjas, it's not that it is completely useless, but it is just too difficult to achieve a deceptive effect.

It’s just like the transformation technique and clone technique mentioned later.

There are effects and functions, but it depends on how the practitioner uses it.

Of course, there are higher levels of clone techniques, such as water clones, earth clones, and shadow clones, which are more buggy.

A substitute technique is a substitute technique.

If the timing is not grasped well.

That would be a direct joke.

Menma doesn't necessarily want to hone this technique to perfection, but he wants to use this as a means of training.

Further hone my control over the techniques.

It's like killing two birds with one stone.

This is also true when it comes to transformation techniques. There is nothing wrong with striving for perfection.

This is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

What is needed is time accumulation and repeated training.

"It still takes some time, or it should be used in a confrontation to achieve better results!"

Menma stroked his chin and thought silently in his heart.

Cultivation is the most direct way to improve one's skills and strength, but actual combat is always the most effective way.

There will always be something missing when it comes to self-cultivation.

Only fighting with real swords and guns can truly improve a ninja, especially the fight between life and death, which can make it easier for a ninja to break through himself.

"If possible, how about going to have a sparring match with Iruka-sensei later? Hmm, this idea should be okay, right?"

Just as this thought popped up in Menma's mind.

"Menma!"

A clear voice sounded, and then, Iruka's familiar figure not far away appeared in Menma's eyes.

"Hmm? Iruka-sensei, why are you here?"

When Menma saw Iruka, he quickly went up to him and asked.

"I just went to your house to look for you, but you weren't there, so I knew you must be here. Didn't all your ninja tools wear out? I bought you a new batch, so you don't need to use the worn-out ones anymore."

Iruka smiled slightly, then took out a sealing scroll from his arms and formed seals with his hands.

"puff."

A burst of white mist suddenly appeared and then dissipated.

"Plop" sound.

A slightly heavy bag of ninja tools appeared directly in front of Menma.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 15 The third year of arrival

Open inside.

The exposed cold front revealed the dark ninja tool.

The quantity was not large, but all the necessary types were there. When Menma saw them, he was delighted.

Not to mention that the price of ninja tools is already very high. Even if Menma has money now, he can't buy these ninja tools at all.

He is still a 'wild beast' that everyone in the entire ninja world fears.

Walk into someone’s ninja tool shop.

The store owner was very restrained in not being kicked out. Do you still want to buy things?

That's just a joke.

In the original work, Naruto's status and reputation in the ninja village changed after graduation, because ninjas have a very special status in this world, and the people living in the ninja village have a deep understanding of this.

They are very clear that ordinary people cannot be on the same level as ninjas, and they must revere and respect ninjas. In the original work, Naruto's status also began to change from the moment of graduation.

In this life, Menma is still just a little kid in the ninja school.

status?

Let’s talk about it later.

Therefore, when Menma saw Iruka bringing so many ninja tools, he was naturally very happy.

"Thank you, Iruka-sensei! I will definitely study and practice harder."

Menma also looked at Iruka with a sincere look of joy as he thanked him.

"Haha, it would be the best if you could study hard, but you should also pay attention to the combination of work and rest. You can't practice too much at your age, otherwise it will be counterproductive. Do you understand? Menma."

Iruka chuckled and patted Menma's little head, then changed the subject and spoke with a slight warning.

"Yes, Iruka-sensei."

Iruka didn't know what kind of mood he was in when facing Menma.

Originally, he was like most of the people of Konoha.

It is difficult to identify with Menma as the container of the Nine-Tails, and there is even a hint of resentment towards him.

But he is not an ordinary citizen.

He is a ninja, and a ninja trusted by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

He naturally knew very well what Jinchūriki meant.

To put it bluntly, intellectually, Iruka can clearly distinguish that the Nine-Tails is the Nine-Tails and Menma is Menma.

At first, it was just some emotional resistance.

And after nearly two years of getting along.

Iruka truly realized that Menma was a very hard-working child, but also a very pitiful child.

Menma's life situation is even more miserable and pitiful than his.

At least he had enjoyed the warmth of a family, while Menma was born without parents and was brought back by the Third Hokage after accidentally discovering him outside the village (this is what Sarutobi Hiruzen vaguely told Iruka about Menma's identity!)

And because of his special bloodline, he unknowingly became the container of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Is there anything wrong with having facial numbness?

Do not!

Nothing wrong at all.

It can even be said that since Menma became the container of the Nine-Tails when he was a baby, he can already be considered a hero of their Konohagakure Village.

All I can say is that things in the world will never go as we expect.

So it is.

Iruka was more concerned about Menma.

Unconsciously, he had even begun to treat Menma as his own younger brother.

"It's New Year again soon, and we're about to enter our third year of study at the Ninja Academy. Next, you'll be entering a phase where you focus on practical training and theoretical knowledge. Although you, Menma, are very talented in this area and have mastered the Three Body Technique in advance, it's still not stable enough, right? You still have to be modest and not conceited. You know there are still some students as good as you in our class. I hope you can keep up this momentum and graduate with the best grades in four years."

Iruka said with a serious face.

It is not a war era now, and except for those who are born into the ninja clan, they will receive some exclusive guidance and training in their own family in advance.

Learning in the ninja school is carried out step by step.

There is no need to quickly train some graduates and then send them to the battlefield to be cannon fodder!

We can spend more time to steadily develop some low- and mid-level basic combat power.
