[Unexpected Gain from Teaching: Learning and Teaching Skills Doubled]

Not bad at all, quite good considering the situation.

Kyomu felt pleased inside as he looked at Ebisu, who had 'fear' written all over his face, deciding to educate him properly.

With his teaching abilities improved, it was only natural to put them to use.

Like playing with a chick, Ebisu had no resistance in Kyomu's hands. When he was beaten to the point of lying on the ground unwilling to get up, Kyomu finally let him go.

"Absorb the experience of getting beaten just now. I'll check this afternoon."

"No way!" Ebisu cried with a mournful face. "Two beatings in one day?"

"It's better to taste some bitterness now than to lose your life in the future." Kyomu glared at Ebisu. "And do you think combat experience is something easily transmitted?"

Upon hearing this, Ebisu immediately straightened up and deeply thanked Kyomu. "Captain Kyomu, thank you for your guidance just now."

"Since you are a member of my team, and I am both your captain and your teacher, I will naturally do my best."

Kyomu waved his blade, sheathing it into the scabbard. "Seize the opportunity. I have high hopes for you and Genma. Your future is bright."

Ebisu and Genma, who were training nearby, brightened up, their fighting spirit ignited.

Who could resist the praise of a strong person?

Watching the two, Kyomu nodded in approval, unable to help but chuckle inwardly.

Children of this age with only one beating followed by praise and the effect was excellent.

"Guy, it's been a long time since we had fought. Come and spar with me."

Guy's eyes were full of excitement. Nodding vigorously, he put on the fingerless gloves that Kyomu had given him.

Of course, they were not boxing gloves, but fingerless combat gloves. They had some influence on daily life when worn, but it wasn't a big deal.

Thud, thud, thud~

Kyomu didn't use a knife, nor did he use chakra or other means. His duel with Guy relied entirely on physical strength and close combat skills.

"Is Guy's strength really this strong?" Genma, with a cigarette in his mouth, couldn't help muttering.

"That's because Captain Kyomu didn't use his blade," Ebisu interjected. "With Captain Kyomu's strength, even if the three of us teamed up, we would still be easily defeated."

"Huh, didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to teach Captain Kyomu a lesson?" Ebisu hearing that suddenly shrunk, speaking much softer. "I was just joking. I respect Captain Kyomu a lot!"

"You changed your tune quickly."

"You're no different."

Genma then put out the cigarette in his mouth. "I just think Captain Kyomu is cool and impressive. He barely gets my approval."

During their conversation, Kyomu, with his far superior combat experience, managed to knock Guy to the ground.

"Kyomu, your youth is fully demonstrated in you. Perhaps..." Guy shook his head with a smile, "My youth can't catch up with your pace."

"Stop talking nonsense." Kyomu reached out and pulled Guy up. "Your progress isn't slow. Your physique is much stronger than before, just a little behind me."

"Don't comfort me." Guy understood in his heart. "Your physical fitness far surpasses mine."

"Then train harder. Time... No, youth waits for no one. Wasting a day is wasting youth."

"True, I shouldn't waste youth!" Guy resurrected in high spirits, immediately diving back into training.

Watching the three in the training ground, Kyomu grinned.

He wasn't worried about what Guy said, but whether he could integrate Genma and Ebisu into his team depended on his future abilities.

Turning around and leaving, Kyomu found a quiet spot to practice alone. While practicing, his peripheral vision kept glancing at the Hokage building.

As long as Teacher Sakumo was well, naturally, everyone else would be fine. If they insisted on acts of vengeance or causing pain to his loved ones, then everyone would have to rely on their own abilities to survive against him.

In the morning, he gave Guy, Genma, and Ebisu some pointers, checked their homework in the afternoon, and incidentally assigned a D-rank mission to them.

Leading a team was this simple and boring.

However, because of this, Kyomu had a lot of time for practice. Compared to the days when he occasionally went out of the village to perform tasks, he had a lot more time now.

Also, because of his relationship with Obito and Rin, Kyomu had his first encounter with Minato.

His smile was very healing, and his demeanor was very gentle. Kyomu's first impression of him was very good.

Naturally, Kyomu's interactions with Minato increased a lot, and Genma and Ebisu gradually got to know Obito and Rin.

Everything seemed peaceful, and the days of getting along harmoniously passed quickly.

[Unexpected Gain from Farming: Healing Ability Doubled]

In addition to this, unexpected gains occurred one after another, even if some were useless, but when useful ones accumulated, they were terrifying.

Even though it was only a month, because he didn't need to go out of the village to lead the team, Kyomu's progress soared again.

The weight during sword practice had been increased to one ton, which was terrifying, and the benefits it brought were quite astonishing.

The number of sword swings per second had reached three hundred and fifty, and even the sword chakra produced by a casual swings was as powerful as the ninjutsu that lower-level ninjas worked hard to develop.

But Kyomu was still very diligent. With the addition of the enhancement to his body's recovery speed, he reduced his sleep time to three hours a day.

Moreover, the number of shadow clones used for auxiliary training was also increased to five by Kyomu, each used to assist him in practicing five elemental ninjutsu.

It is worth mentioning that Kyomu had sparred with Minato once. Minato couldn't create Rasengan yet, but the Flying Thunder God Technique was already familiar to him. Even though it hadn't evolved to the second stage yet, it was enough to deal with Kyomu.

"Kyomu, your Instant Teleportation proficiency is unmatched in the entire ninja world!" Minato put away his kunai with a bitter smile. "It's not easy for me to catch you."

"My speed still can't match the Flying Thunder God." Kyomu said calmly.

"The Flying Thunder God is indeed powerful, but when I attack you, can't you react?" Minato asked.

"I can, but when you attack me, you change places, making it difficult for me to respond, like a slippery eel, impossible to catch, and I can only passively take the beating." Kyomu shrugged. "You're just wearing me down; it's not a straightforward defeat."

"That's indeed a problem." Minato looked troubled. "I don't have the talent for swordsmanship like you, and I don't have the ninjutsu that can be used in conjunction with the Flying Thunder God. My attack power can't keep up, so I can only use the speed of the Flying Thunder God to find openings. It's difficult to aim for instant kills."

Indeed, this was the problem that Minato had to face now.

The Flying Thunder God Technique was strong, but when encountering someone like Kyomu who had passed the physical strength test and could keep up with his reaction speed in battle, Minato was undoubtedly at a disadvantage.

When using the Flying Thunder God Technique, Minato was indeed elusive, but when attacking, there was a moment when he swung his kunai, which was the only time he revealed his figure and the only time he had a vulnerability.

After all, when Minato moved, it was spatial movement, but when attacking someone, it was still conventional close combat.

But even so, with the spatial attributes of the Flying Thunder God Technique, even if the vulnerability was caught, Minato could still retreat safely and instantly organize another attack from a different direction.

You could defend against it once or twice, ten times or eight times, but eventually, you would reveal a vulnerability when facing it. And Kyomu was caught off guard by Minato in a passive defense, leading to his defeat.

"With this kind of speed at my disposal, you only need to strengthen my offensive capabilities a bit, such as with basic ninjutsu."

"How can be that easy." Minato smiled wryly and shook his head. "I've been thinking about this issue recently, but it's very difficult to implement, very difficult."

Kyomu nodded without saying more. Minato's thoughts were already mature, and it was impossible for him to establish a deep friendship with him.

"In that case, I'll not said anything." Kyomu smiled lightly. "However, I have found a way to deal with your Flying Thunder God Technique."

Minato became interested. "What method?"

"Of course, it's to surpass the speed at which you throw your Flying Thunder God kunai and to create an impenetrable defense that you can't break through, and finally, to crush your reaction speed."

"This..." Minato smiled ruefully. "Not to sound arrogant, but what you want to achieve is very difficult."

"It is indeed very difficult, but we have to try, don't we?"

Kyomu stood up to settle the bill. "I'm leaving now, Minato. The three members of my team should have completed today's D-rank mission."

Watching Kyomu leave, Minato's eyes flashed slightly. "I always feel that there's something on Kyomu's mind..."
