Chapter 288 Style Selection



The battle below gradually became fierce. The fighting style of Taijutsu as the main method, supplemented by Ninjutsu and a little illusion in between was very suitable for Uchiha Sasuke at this stage. It might be slightly worse than Orochimaru's guidance, but in Mizuki's opinion, Hatake Kakashi definitely did not delay Sasuke's development. A slight gap is not impossible to make up.

Mizuki didn't have to wait too long, as the sky gradually darkened and the two people below also finished their sparring. Sasuke, panting, applied some medicine to himself, said hello to Kakashi Hatake and left.

After watching Sasuke leave, Kakashi, who had sensed something was happening, used a teleportation technique to appear next to Mizuki.

"Looking for me?"

"Yeah. Something happened..." Mizuki said bluntly.

"Let's talk while we walk. It's getting dark. We need to go back to eat. I'm so hungry after such a long activity..."

"Sasuke is putting more and more pressure on you?"

"Yeah!" Kakashi stretched his arms lazily, then took out a novel from his back and read it while walking. "Geniuses do exist. Although they have less combat experience and are a little weaker than I was back then, they are still much stronger than my teammates at the time!"

"Really?" Kakashi was undoubtedly talking about Uchiha Obito. In the battle of Kannabi Bridge that year, the village produced two Sharingan geniuses, one was Uchiha Obito, and the other was Hatake Kakashi. The new generation of Genin may not be aware of it, but it was a hot topic at the time. In addition to the brilliant Namikaze Minato, the rising star Hatake Kakashi was also quite famous among the Konoha ninjas.

"The village seems to be very peaceful recently. Do you have any special news?"

"The Anbu had a large-scale operation a few days ago, which happened to be the days when we were attacked at sea. I don't know the details, but from what I heard, it doesn't seem to be going well."

"What a coincidence?"

Mizuki curled his lips. Anbu? To be more precise, it should be the Root led by Danzo. Tsunade should know something, but she didn't tell me. As the former captain of the Anbu, it's normal for Hatake Kakashi to have some intelligence channels.

"It probably has little to do with us."

Mizuki nodded. Judging from the current situation, the only organization worthy of a large-scale mobilization, apart from the Akatsuki organization, would most likely be Orochimaru. Since the operation had failed, Mizuki didn't take it to heart.

"So, what do you want from me?"

"It's about Haruno Sakura..." Mizuki answered, "I need a little support in terms of physical skills. Sakura's shortcomings are too obvious, and the means I have to make up for it are still too early for Sakura!"

"Physical skills?" Kakashi put away the book in his hand and said seriously, "Speaking of this, I have a question. It's appropriate for you to let Sakura practice Chakra Nature Change now. She has the best Chakra control in Team 7, so it's not bad for her to go this way. But, isn't it too early to combine it with the Chakra Shield you taught?"

Mizuki shook his head: "I didn't ask for this, Sakura came up with it herself. You know that my chakra attribute is only fire. Now I'm worried about the second attribute. How can you teach me something I don't know?"

As a jonin, it is rare for his chakra attribute to be so single.

"Huh? Did you come up with that yourself? It seems I still underestimated Sakura's talent. With a barely passable form change and the newly introduced nature change, she sent Naruto to the hospital. This technique has great potential. It should be at least an A-level ninjutsu! Maybe it can even reach S-level."

"Fight? When did it happen?"

"Not long ago, it seems that Naruto said something rude and angered Sakura!"

"Really?" Mizuki smiled. It seemed that Naruto had probably taught him a lesson when he called Karin an ugly girl with glasses. "It's good for young people to be energetic!"

"Hey, Naruto and Sasuke's rivalry and unwillingness to admit defeat are already giving me a headache, and now there's Sakura who shows violent tendencies. My work is going to be much more difficult."

"Isn't it good to be strong? If you can be promoted to Chunin sooner, won't it be easier for you?"

"Well, let's not talk about that. What suggestions do you have about Sakura's physical style? If there is no bloodline limit and secret technique, Might Guy's steel fist seems to have some problems..."

"Steel fists that are too direct are too harmful to the body and are not suitable for Sakura. A more rounded and resilient style is more suitable for her. In fact, I thought about asking the Hyuga family to teach Sakura some basic soft fists, but I think about it and forget it. The family secret technique is too big of a honor, I am afraid I can't afford it, so I want to ask you if you have any good ideas."

"A more rounded and resilient taijutsu?" Kakashi thought for a moment and replied, "If we don't talk about the attack method, the style you are talking about is more like that of a master swordsman."

"Can you blend the style of swordsmanship into physical skills?"

"It is definitely possible. I can give it a try. After all, the swordsmanship inherited from the Hatake family is also excellent. I just don't know to what extent you want to achieve it."

"That's good." Mizuki smiled reassuringly and replied, "She doesn't need any extremely advanced swordsmanship. Just let her understand how to play to her strengths and avoid her weaknesses in a fight. I'll leave the training to you. It's enough to make sure Sakura's physical skills don't lag behind too much."

Kakashi nodded in agreement: "Well, Sakura is also my student, I have no choice but to do this. But, speaking of this, please do me a favor..."

"What?"

"About Sasuke. During the combat training, if he only practiced against me, his style would be too monotonous. Sasuke gradually began to adapt to my combat habits. I was under increasing pressure, and it seemed that Sasuke's strength was increasing rapidly. In fact, this feeling was inaccurate."

At this point, Shuimu roughly understood: "It would be more effective if we practice with different types of opponents!"

"Since you are here, I will leave it to you."

"No problem, when?"

"It will take about a week. We will start after Team 7 completes their last mission before Naruto leaves."

"That's settled then. It just so happens that Team 8 also has a mission to do."

It's just a small matter, you just need to be careful. Uchiha Sasuke with the Sharingan has good insight, plus Chidori has powerful attack power, if Mizuki is careless, he might capsize in the ditch.

"You just said that Naruto is leaving, so have you chosen the temporary members for Team 7?"

"There is no accurate information yet, except that the general candidate has been decided. I don't know what kind of person he is yet, and I don't know if he can coexist peacefully with Sasuke and Sakura."
