I Can Become Stronger Just By Teaching

Chapter 37: Nature Change Training

"Teacher Makoto, how long have I persisted this time?" Obito wiped off the water stains on his face and looked at Makoto expectantly.

He felt like he had been on the river for a long time, maybe an hour.

"You performed very well this time and lasted twenty minutes." Makoto praised without hesitation.

"Huh? It's only twenty minutes. I thought it was at least half an hour." Obito was a little disappointed.

On the river, he not only has to maintain chakra output at all times, but also pay attention to Makoto's water escape, observe the waves on the river, and be ready to dodge at any time. Maintaining this state makes it feel like a long time has passed.

"You have completed the practice of chakra control and can start the practice of changing nature." Makoto said with a smile.

"Well, I'll start right away." Obito had been practicing treading water recently and subconsciously walked towards the river. After walking a few steps, he realized what Makoto had said.

"Finally no more treading water." Obito couldn't help but clench his fists and jump up to cheer. He noticed that Shisui and Might Gai both looked at him blankly and then became quiet.

"I've been treading water every day lately, and I've gotten used to the smell of the river here." Obito couldn't help but complain.

"Then do you want to continue water treading?" Makoto asked jokingly.

"Forget it, forget it, I always take detours whenever I see the river these days." The tortured Obito chose not to be harsh this time.

"It's better to start changing the nature as soon as possible. There are only fourteen days left before the competition." Obito felt that time was a little tight. Tighter than Gai's clothes.

Next, in addition to the change in nature, the proficiency of the fireball must be deepened.

"There will be enough time according to my arrangement," Makoto reassured Obito.

This is just training to participate in a folk competition, not to fight Pain. There is no need to practice changes in nature exaggeratedly.

With the blessing of the professor's skills and the fact that Makoto's fireball has reached the proficiency level, it is very simple for Obito to improve his fireball level.

After all, it was related to the rewards of the training mission, and Makoto had carefully planned it.

Soon, Makoto's shadow clone brought a large wooden barrel. Makoto opened the barrel, took out an egg-sized ice cube, and handed it to Obito.

"Put the ice cube on the palm of your hand, and then use chakra to melt it." Makoto said the first step.

Nature change is a more difficult and advanced practice in the ninja training process.

Even if you have enough chakra, but your level of change in the properties of the corresponding ninjutsu is not enough, the power of the ninjutsu will be limited.

The practice of changing the nature of fire is a bit more dangerous than that of wind, because the burning nature of fire may affect the practitioner.

At first, Makoto wanted Obito to burn the leaves, but if Obito couldn't turn the leaves into ashes instantly, then Obito's hands would be burned by the burning leaves.

So Makoto thought of ice cubes. Because they have a low enough temperature, they will only melt into water when exposed to flames. Obito's flames are not enough to boil the water in ice cubes.

"It's so cold." Obito, who was holding an ice cube in his hand, took a breath. It was still spring, and the temperature was not high in the morning when the sun was not shining brightly.

"Then release the chakra quickly." Makoto tapped Obito's head with two fingers together.

Obito felt the pain, shrank his neck, and then began to guide his chakra towards the palm of his hand, change its nature, finally releasing it.

"When changing the property, you must keep in mind the characteristics of flames, combustion, and high temperature, so that your chakra can burn and increase the temperature." Makoto reminded.

Obito stared at the ice cube in his hand and nodded, silently reciting the words "burning heat" in his heart.

Two minutes later, Obito felt water flow on his palms, and his face instantly brightened.

"Teacher, the ice is melting!" Obito said happily.

"How about you get another ice cube and try holding it in your hand for a few minutes?" Makoto said.

Obito threw away the ice cube in his hand curiously, and picked up another ice cube of about the same size, holding it in his hand without using chakra.

Then he was embarrassed to find that the degree of ice melting into water was only slightly worse than before.

"The human body also has temperature. If you hold an ice cube of this size in your hand, you won't need chakra to melt it very slowly." Makoto explained while stroking his forehead.

Fortunately, the weather is not hot now. If it were summer, Obito would think that he is a little prodigy in chakra nature.

"Hey, when I use ninjutsu, I always use my mouth. Now I'm not used to using my hands." Obito scratched his head and explained.

"You must always remember the nature of the flame." Makoto said as he took out an ice cube as big as a human head and held it in his hand.

Sizzle!

The moment Makoto finished speaking, a red light flashed, and the ice cube as big as a head immediately turned into bursts of white smoke. The water vapor floated into the sky.

"High temperature, burning." Obito kept chanting in his mouth and then continued to condense chakra in his palms and then release.

The morning was coming to an end soon, and Obito already felt that his hands were numb from the cold, and the skin on his hands had become white and wrinkled due to prolonged exposure to water.

"If you think about it carefully, the river water tastes good." Obito regretted why he didn't agree to Makoto's offer to practice water treading a few hours ago.

The cultivation of this change in nature is simply more of a torture than treading water.

"Stop practicing now, let's eat." Makoto stopped the three of them, then took out three lunch boxes and distributed them to them respectively.

"Today the food smells so good!" When Might Gai opened the lid, he smelled a fragrance that hit his soul and sat the dazzling golden light from the lunch box.

"Teacher Makoto, there's something wrong with this rice. It's actually glowing!" Might Gai was a little dumbfounded.

"The sun is just reflecting the light. Feel free to eat," Makoto said with a faint smile.

Might Gai took a bite with the spoon, and his eyes suddenly gleamed. He waved the spoon extremely quickly and kept pushing fried rice into his mouth.

"It's delicious! It's delicious!" Might Gai felt that he had never eaten such delicious food before.

[You gave the disciple golden egg fried rice as a gift, and the disciple was very grateful for the critical hit. You gained Chakra +100]

Makoto nodded secretly, the chef's skill is indeed very powerful.

"Gai, are you so tired from practicing today?" Obito felt that Might Gai was a bit exaggerated. Although Teacher Makoto was good at his craftsmanship, there was no need to eat in such a hurry.

"It does look good." Obito changed his mind slightly after opening the lunch box.

It's is not egg-fried rice, but a home-style stir-fry.

Obito first picked up some vegetables, then took a mouthful of rice and put it in his mouth.

"Delicious!" Obito's eyes widened, and he felt a taste he had never experienced before explode in his mouth.

Then he frantically grilled the rice and kept stuffing the food into his mouth until he ate the chili pepper in the dish.

A terrifying spicy smell erupted, and Obito felt as if he had arrived at the crater of a volcano that was about to erupt. The surrounding air was hot and dry.
