Tianqi, who had been sleeping on the rock, finally woke up.
"Hey, all done? Not bad speed," Tianqi said, looking at the three people sitting exhausted on the ground.
The three ignored Tianqi and continued to rest. "If it weren't for you, would we be so tired?"
Seeing that the three ignored him, he continued, "Now that we're done, let's go turn in the mission. After that, you can relax a bit."
Upon hearing that they could rest, the group immediately stood up and ran to the mission hall to turn in their missions.
At the entrance of the mission hall, Tian Qi counted a few banknotes. "I got paid after just one night's sleep. This mission is pretty good, even though the pay is a bit low."
Jiraiya and the others gave Tianqi a look of disdain. "We did all the work, and you're just sleeping on the side. Of course you think it's good."
"Come on, I'll take you to the back mountain to relax." After saying that, he led the group to a stream in the back mountain.
The three looked around with curiosity. "Brother Tianqi, how do you relax here?" Tsunade asked, unusually.
"Oh, you guys don't know? Let me show you how to climb a tree today." Before Tianqi could finish speaking, Orochimaru climbed up the tree using his feet.
"Is that so?" Orochimaru said from the tree.
"Uh... I see." Tianqi was quite embarrassed as he watched Orochimaru complete the task with ease.
"Brother Tianqi, this is too easy!" Tsunade finished easily while Tianqi was feeling embarrassed.
Tianqi broke out in a sweat of embarrassment, thinking to himself, "I haven't even explained the rules yet, and you've already finished. Did you come here specifically to embarrass me?"
It wasn't until he saw Jiraiya that Tenki's awkwardness subsided.
Jiraiya tried to climb the tree with his feet, just like Orochimaru and the other person, but he fell right off the tree as soon as he got up.
"Ouch, what happened? How did I fall down so soon after I went up? How did you guys do that, Tsunade and Orochimaru?" Jiraiya asked the two of them in confusion after falling down.
"Idiot Jiraiya, don't you even know the basics of climbing a tree with chakra?" Tsunade looked at Jiraiya with disdain.
"Use chakra? How do you use it?" Jiraiya asked loudly.
"Alright, Jiraiya, you practice here by yourself for a bit. I'll take the two of them to the river." After saying that, he led the two to the river.
"Do you know why I brought you two to the river?" Tianqi asked the two of them.
“It must be practicing walking on water,” Orochimaru said.
"That's right, we need to practice walking on water."
Just as Tianqi finished speaking, Orochimaru quietly stopped on the water's surface. Holy crap! Here to slap me in the face, huh?
"Orochimaru, you did a great job. You have a real talent for this," Tianqi said, suppressing the urge to curse him.
Some people need encouragement and recognition to do better, and Tianqi believes this and acts accordingly.
"It's Tsunade's turn. Why don't you go up and give it a try?" Tianqi looked at Tsunade. Tsunade would become a famous medical ninja in the future, so her chakra control level must be very high.
Sure enough, Tsunade swayed slightly as she stepped onto the water, but she quickly regained her balance and began walking on the surface.
"How amazing! It's my first time standing on water, it's so much fun!" Tsunade ran around on the water like a child.
"Alright, now that you all know how to do it, go wait for me in the open space over there. I'll go teach Jiraiya first." After saying that, he went directly to Jiraiya's side.
At this moment, Jiraiya was still trying, climbing up, falling down with a thud, climbing up and falling down again...
Seeing Jiraiya still trying, Tenki called out to him.
"Jiraiya, stop for a second, come here for a moment."
"Brother Tianqi, am I really not as good as Orochimaru and the other two? I can't even climb a tree properly," Jiraiya said to Tianqi with a dejected look.
"Jiraiya, why would you think like that? Everyone has their own strengths. You can't compare your weaknesses with other people's strengths. Besides, climbing a tree is very simple. You just don't know the principle. As long as I tell you the principle, I believe you can do it easily too." Tianqi encouraged Jiraiya while explaining the principle.
"Climbing a tree is actually very simple. You just need to concentrate your chakra in your feet, and you can use the chakra to firmly adhere to it. Do you understand, Jiraiya?" As he spoke, Tianqi demonstrated it to Jiraiya.
"I'll give it a try." Using the method of Tianqi, Jiraiya slowly walked towards the tree and climbed upwards step by step using chakra.
"Hahaha, Brother Tianqi, I did it! I did it!" Jiraiya said to Tianqi with a happy expression from the top of the tree.
Tianqi looked at Jiraiya, who had reached the top in one go, and couldn't help but praise him. "As expected of the future hero Jiraiya, he learned it after I explained the principle once. It took Erzhuzi a long time to learn it. It can be seen that Jiraiya's talent is not low."
"Very good, Jiraiya, you did a great job. I knew you could do it," Tianqi said generously in his praise.
"It's all thanks to Brother Tianqi for making such a good friend of me." Hearing Tianqi praise him, Jiraiya felt embarrassed.
"No need to be modest, you did all of this entirely on your own. I didn't help you at all. Come on, let me take you to the next place." After saying that, he led Jiraiya to the riverbank.
"Jiraiya, next you'll be walking on water. As usual, I'll explain the principle to you first and show you how, then you can follow my method."
"Hmm," Jiraiya was also very curious about how one could walk on water.
"Stepping on water is different from climbing a tree. Climbing a tree only requires you to concentrate your chakra in the corresponding area and maintain a certain amount, because the tree doesn't move, so you just need to be able to adhere to it."
“Treading water is different. To stay on the surface, you need to continuously release a suitable amount of chakra under your feet, and that amount needs to be just enough to support your body.”
"The difficulty lies in maintaining a certain amount of chakra; it's a training exercise that involves releasing and controlling a specific amount of chakra according to actual needs."
"I'll demonstrate for you," Tianqi said, and then walked onto the water.
"Now gather chakra under your feet, and then release a certain amount of chakra according to your body weight."
"Jiraiya, why don't you give it a try? I believe that since I've explained it so clearly, you can definitely complete it easily," Tianqi said to Jiraiya.
Following Tenki's method, Jiraiya began his first attempt. He placed his first foot on the water's surface without falling in. However, as he placed his second foot on the water, Jiraiya fell directly into the water.
Tianqi is no longer instructing Jiraiya; he has said everything he needed to say, and it's up to Jiraiya to understand it on his own.
After falling into the water more than ten times, Jiraiya finally mastered treading water, and Tianqi took him to the open space where Orochimaru and the others were.
"Jiraiya, how did you get so soaked? Hahaha!" Tsunade mocked, looking at Jiraiya who was completely drenched.
"You flat-chested woman, so what if I'm soaking wet? I like swimming and I'm happy to do it, is that a problem?" Jiraiya retorted directly when Tsunade mocked him.
"Jiraiya! I think it's been a while since I beat you up. Are you itching for a beating?" Tsunade clapped her hands together and immediately began to threaten.
"Brother Tianqi, save me!" Seeing that Tsunade was about to beat him up, he knew he couldn't beat her. Even if he could, he wouldn't hit a woman. Jiraiya immediately hid behind Tianqi.
