After analyzing Sasuke's strengths and weaknesses, Natsuki also generously shared his training experience.
How to train the body, how to train Chakra control.
It's just that Sasuke's strength was still far off; things like handstand walking while pulling giant rocks, or walking on cliffs with weights using Chakra, Sasuke couldn't do yet.
Anyway, Natsuki didn't recommend imitating him, only suggested that Sasuke formulate a training plan based on his own situation.
In addition, there were methods for getting stronger...
"Training, learning, referencing, imagination."
Natsuki proposed four points, "Training goes without saying; it can make your body stronger, your Taijutsu naturally becomes stronger, and your Chakra also increases.
Learning makes your mind more flexible and better at thinking, providing a foundation for imagination.
Referencing is learning the powerful techniques of predecessors.
Imagination is something essential for developing your own techniques."
Sasuke scribbled notes, looking like a good student.
It made Natsuki want to laugh.
"Cough, cough, I mainly want to talk about the latter two points.
First is referencing; the Eight Gates and Hatake Swordmanship I currently possess were learned from predecessors; this is a form of referencing.
The reason I thought of actively learning these things is that I understood the strength of predecessors.
I know how Teacher Kai's father kicked and killed four Mist Village Elite Jonin with one blow.
I know how Kakashi-senpai's father's name overshadowed One of the Sannin.
So I would find ways to find these things to learn, even if it meant shamelessly begging, I would beg for them, because that could make me stronger.
If you can't learn them, then continue to deeply understand the techniques of these powerful predecessors.
Even if you only know the technique names, or just some technique descriptions, you can refer to them to develop some of your own techniques.
This is referencing the experience of predecessors to make yourself stronger!
Sasuke, have you heard of Uchiha Shisui?"
Sasuke, who had been eagerly taking notes, was startled, and it took him a while to react.
Why did he suddenly mention Shisui?
"You mean Brother Shisui? Of course I know him!"
Sasuke fell into recollection again; he remembered that the clan's conflict seemed to have intensified because of Brother Shisui's death.
At that time, Itachi Uchiha was very agitated, even beating up fellow clan members, denying that he killed Brother Shisui.
Later, came the Uchiha Clan Massacre...
He quickly shook his head, casting aside these thoughts, afraid that he would lose his composure again.
Natsuki said, "Uchiha Shisui has a famous nickname, called 'Shisui the Body Flicker'.
That is to say, his Body Flicker Technique was extremely advanced, making people incredibly wary.
It is said that he combined Genjutsu and Body Flicker Technique; when attacking, many afterimages would appear, but those afterimages would suddenly turn into the real body, making it impossible for people to attack or defend, truly making people tremble with fear!"
Sasuke gasped, "Hiss!!! Brother Shisui, was he that strong?!"
"See, you've been training blindly, always waiting for others to teach you, yet you don't even understand the strong individuals of your own clan, how can that be?"
Natsuki said with a laugh, "You need to understand the power of predecessors more.
Their techniques are valuable experience.
Compared to our own wild guesses, compared to training blindly, referencing their experience is more important.
After hearing the description of Shisui the Body Flicker's technique, can you imagine how to reference it?
That's a powerful technique that can only be unleashed in conjunction with the Sharingan!
If you don't believe me, go ask Kakashi-senpai, he definitely knows Shisui.
See, isn't there something to reference here?"
Sasuke said solemnly, "That's right, why didn't I think of that?"
Because you were young and no one taught you!
And your heart was blinded by hatred, you only knew how to train desperately, and your mental state was unstable, how could you think of so much?
You don't even know how much of the Uchiha Clan's assets were swallowed up, let alone money; have you gotten even half of the most precious Ninjutsu scrolls?
Natsuki was too lazy to complain about these things; the Uchiha Clan was annihilated many years ago, saying these things now was meaningless.
He continued with the last point: "Finally, there is imagination, which is based on the previous three points, to conceive powerful techniques that belong to you.
For example, those few techniques I used when fighting the tailed beasts, Water Blade, Vortex Boiling Bullet, these are my own techniques!"
Natsuki said this while raising his hand to demonstrate.
Sasuke watched, couldn't help but swallow, he naturally understood the power of these techniques, he wanted to learn them very much, but he also knew he shouldn't ask.
Natsuki smiled, "You want to learn, I know.
But your Chakra doesn't have the water nature, you can't learn it.
Actually, these are techniques formed by the fusion of Chakra Nature Transformation and Chakra Mode Transformation, something only Jonin can do.
Oh, your Chidori also belongs to this category, but that's not your technique, you still need to form hand signs to use it, that's far from enough."
Sasuke sat up straight, "How should I do it?"
"Chakra Mode Transformation is very simple; control your Chakra to turn into the shape you want, and it must be stable enough, like Chakra Thread...
If you want power, for example, the shape of Water Blade is based on a cutting machine; you just need to rotate it at high speed.
After that, it's about imagining integrating the Nature Transformation of Chakra. This also requires training. For example, with Water Release Nature Transformation, you need to make the Chakra soak a piece of paper without using hand seals. In fact, using hand seals to release Ninjutsu is also a process of Chakra Nature Transformation, but that requires hand seals to guide it, and you need to learn to do it without hand seals.
Now, try to use Chakra to burn this piece of paper in your hand. You need to imagine it.
Saying this, he handed the tissue paper to Sasuke.
Sasuke took it and placed it in his palm, closing his eyes and imagining. After a long while, when he opened his eyes again, he saw that the tissue paper only had a tiny spark.
"This is so difficult!" Sasuke stared at the spark, deep in thought.
"Precisely because it's difficult, you'll be very strong after you learn it."
Natsuki smiled, "Your spirit isn't stable enough right now. Settle your mind first. After that, go find Kakashi-senpai. He knows more about this than I do and should have corresponding training arrangements. In short, just go find him."
Sasuke nodded upon hearing this. He had learned pretty much everything he wanted to know and didn't want to bother him further.
He stood up and took his leave.
After walking out of the courtyard gate, he paused for a moment and suddenly bowed to Natsuki, "Natsuki, thank you so much!"
Monster! Sasuke actually thanked him so formally!
It really wasn't a waste of words!
Natsuki smiled and waved his hand, "Alright, go quickly. You're going to be very busy next. I'll give you a piece of advice: Eat well, sleep well, study well, and train well! These are words spoken by an immortal who trained an invincible strongman during teaching. They are worth pondering!"
The words of the Turtle Hermit. He trained an invincible strongman like Goku. No problem!
"Eat well, sleep well, study well, and train well! Okay, I've noted it!"
Sasuke seemed to understand something and showed a rare smile.
In his opinion, this sentence was clearly a summary of all the analysis just now. What words spoken by an immortal? It was clearly Natsuki's best advice to his friend!
