Haruno Sakura put away the scroll doubtfully and asked hesitantly, "Is this really powerful?"

"Don't underestimate it. I estimated your level and thought you were almost capable of learning it, so I taught you reluctantly. This can be considered as part of the assessment!"

Although Mizuki is considered a relatively well-rounded jonin, he does not often use illusions alone in battle.

Mizuki, who has an average level of physical skills, rarely fights hand-to-hand with opponents of the same level. Although he is not very bad, he has long given people the impression that he is not a reckless ninja who gets carried away by passion in battle.

In addition, it is usually stated in the intelligence that Shuimu is a master of illusion. However, in the limited actual combat duels, most of them use illusions through sealing techniques and barriers, so people have the illusion that Shuimu is not particularly good at or enthusiastic about pure illusions.

As Mizuki's disciple, Haruno Sakura has also received a lot of instruction in illusion during this period. Apart from some basic theories, the illusions taught by Mizuki are all common types, such as the Fox Heart Technique, the Naraku Vision Technique, etc. The most advanced one is the Nirvana Hermitage Technique. More advanced ones like the Darkness Walk Technique have not been taught. It's not that they don't want to teach, but Mizuki himself doesn't know it.

It's not that these basic illusions are bad. Illusions have a much higher degree of freedom than ninjutsu and taijutsu. The same illusion may have very different power and effects in the hands of different ninjas. Illusions that are directly related to chakra or even spirit are greatly affected by each person's mental state and chakra characteristics. Many illusion ninjas have gradually figured out their own unique illusions by learning these simple illusions.

But after such a long time, Mizuki has not taught Sakura an advanced illusion that is even close to the ultimate level illusion, which made Sakura think that Mizuki's illusion level is just that, and he may have put all his energy into sealing techniques and barrier techniques.

Until today, Mizuki solemnly gave Sakura a seemingly advanced illusion, which really caught Sakura off guard.

Sakura was very curious about this unexpected gift, but she was too exhausted at the moment and didn't have the energy to study this troublesome illusion.

Looking at Sakura who was still a little exhausted, Mizuki sighed and said:

"The Breathing Technique has given you a lot of chakra to squander, but you don't seem to have figured out how to use this huge advantage. The last killer move is indeed very powerful, but as a desperate finishing move, it cannot be used as a regular combat method."

After listening to Mizuki's words, the clever Haruno Sakura thought for a while and then asked cautiously:

"Master, do you mean that I am a little too ambitious?"

"A little bit, but this is just my personal opinion." Shuimu did not say anything final. "With the Breathing Technique to make up for your low chakra disadvantage, you could have become an excellent ninjutsu ninja. With the sealing technique, barrier technique, illusion technique and medical ninjutsu I taught you, you will become an excellent firepower and auxiliary ninja. But now, you are on the path of becoming an all-around combat ninja who can fight at long distances or near distances. Therefore, you absolutely cannot lack conventional means of attack. Powerful ninjutsu can only be used as a last resort to fight for your life."

Recalling the battle just now, Mizuki still has many ways to make Sakura stronger in medium and long-range attacks. However, Mizuki is still trying to figure out this kind of close combat and personal style of ninjutsu, not to mention that Sakura still has earth attribute chakra which is very different from her fire attribute.

"I can't give you a detailed explanation of your fighting style, but I can demonstrate my style and development direction to you, which should be helpful to you."

After saying that, Shuimu formed seals with his hands, and a shadow clone appeared immediately.

"Watch how I use chakra to change my form."

As Mizuki spoke, both the original body and the shadow clone raised light blue chakra shields.

Next, Mizuki and the Shadow Clones throw kunai at each other, which are then blocked by the chakra shield.

“This is standard usage!”

After saying that, the chakra shields controlled by the two figures began to shatter, and then changed shape, fitting onto important parts of the body, including the head, elbows, knees, and toes.

"Now it's an active chakra shield, fine control in close combat, coordinated with my own movements..."

As Mizuki's real body and shadow clones fought each other, Sakura was shown what the fighting skills of a senior ninja were like.

The two parties holding kunai kept trying to attack each other's weaknesses, but their attacks were blocked one by one. The two people with the same strength could not do anything to each other.

Shuriken, kunai, punches, kicks, and even heads can all be used as weapons of attack.

"Weapons and fists are not the only things that can be used to attack the enemy. You have to understand that for most people, the upper limbs are far less powerful than their lower limbs. So, a heavy kick is better than a few punches..."

Before he finished speaking, Mizuki and the main body used side kicks at the same time. The impact sounds of the colliding feet showed their power. As crisp cracking sounds were heard, the chakra shields wrapped around the feet of the two people began to crack, but they still did not shatter. With the rapid mobilization of chakra by the two people to repair them, they returned to their original state in an instant.

"As long as we have a chakra shield of sufficient strength, it can protect us from harm. Moreover, the excellent form change can make it no longer limited to defense. In fact, it can turn every part of our body into an attack point, just like this..."

Facing the shadow clones rushing up again, Mizuki himself responded quickly. The two figures no longer used weapons and fought with their bare hands. The power of the chakra shield in the attack was fully demonstrated.

After a moment, the shadow clone used his elbow to break the protection on the original body's shoulder, causing Mizuki's original body to grimace in pain. The original body was also not ambiguous, and rushed forward with his knees, shattering the chakra shield on the shadow clone's chest and abdomen. With a heavy blow, the shadow clone was injured and disappeared.

"See? This fighting style that uses the whole body as a weapon might be suitable for you. If combined with the changes in the nature of your earth-attributed chakra, it might be very effective. If you can perfect it and control the ground beneath your feet and integrate it into your fighting style, it would be even better. Of course, how you do it is entirely up to you."

"It always feels so troublesome!" Looking at Mizuki's demonstration, Sakura had to admit that it did look very powerful and violent, but she always felt that this method required too much practical experience.
