Is it good or bad to teach a smart student? Mizuki couldn't tell, but at least Sakura didn't make him worry too much. He just needed to think about what to teach.

After more than half a month, I feel like I have taught almost everything that can be taught. Regardless of whether I can use it well or not, at least I have learned most of it. The rest is just a matter of more practice and flexible application.

"Teacher Mizuki, what do you say that I should learn the fighting style of that Sand Ninja Gaara?" Smart people always daydream when they have free time. Sakura, who was studying puppetry techniques yesterday, set her sights on Gaara's fighting style today.

Mizuki shook his head and replied, "Are you sure you want to learn? This is not an easy thing to do. Why do you want to learn Sunako Ninjutsu?"

"It's not sand, it's too dirty, I don't want to learn it. I want to use water to imitate his fighting style. It seems that both defense and attack are very powerful~"

"Ah." Shuimu sighed and said, "Let's not talk about whether you can learn it or not. I don't know how to teach you myself. And you made a mistake. Even if you complete the water attribute transformation, you can't do it. After all, chakra simulation is not the real thing. Many of Gaara's ninjutsu use real sand, not chakra simulation. If you don't mind carrying an overweight water gourd to hold water in the future, which will cause you to not grow taller in the future, you can give it a try."

Many ordinary people think that ninjas are very magical, because ninjas can always create various five-element ninjutsu such as earth, fire, water, wind and thunder, which are very dazzling. However, they do not understand that chakra is chakra. Even if the five elements are simulated vividly and the changes in shape and properties are in line with nature, it is just a fake.

Just like the fire attribute of water and wood, water and wood can use the change of properties to achieve the same characteristics as real flames, can emit a lot of light and heat, can ignite other objects, and can even mix with the real flames in nature to produce a greater effect, which is no different from the real thing. However, when water and wood are no longer controlled, the flames simulated by chakra will dissipate without a trace and return to nature.

So if Sakura wants to learn Gaara's fighting style, she must first complete the form change of water-attribute chakra, and then carry a lot of water with her. She can usually use chakra to nourish and enhance activity and control. When actually using it, she can combine chakra and use her excellent control to create fighting capabilities similar to Gaara's sand. In fact, it is possible to do it.

Then, Mizuki emphasized one point: "You must have been attracted by what I said about Gaara being the strongest Genin in the Chunin Exams. You don't have to envy that. There is one thing you may not know. Even if you really practice your water attribute to be as flexible as Gaara, you can't reach his power. If I'm not mistaken, that kind of automatic defense sand is not a ninjutsu, but most likely a bloodline limit."

"Kekei Genkai? In addition to Sasuke's Sharingan and Hyuuga's Byakugan, there are also powerful escape techniques like Ice Release. Even that kind of sand defense is a Kekkei Genkai?"

"That's right." Shuimu said with a smile, "You still have too little knowledge. Many of the bloodline limits in the world are far more magical than you can imagine."

It is said that Gaara's ability to control the sand is due to his mother's soul protecting him after her death, and Gaara is even named after his mother.

Shuimu scoffed at this statement. How could a person who had been dead for so many years still have such ability? When Rock Lee opened five of the Eight Gates of Dunjia, he could still effectively resist Rock Lee's attack. How powerful a person must be to do that?

As for the secret technique of controlling sand, judging from the Sand Ninja's not-too-strange performance, it is not the first time we have seen it. Most likely, his mother also has this ability, and it was passed on to Gaara.

After hearing what Mizuki said, Sakura lowered her head in disappointment.

Seeing Sakura's expression, Mizuki said: "The third round of the Chunin Exam is coming soon. I can understand your eagerness, but you have been too impetuous recently and have not calmed down to think about your own path."

During this period, Mizuki did teach Sakura a lot, but the main purpose of all this was to provide Sakura with an additional option when she was weaker, so that she could better utilize her IQ advantage.

Sakura said unwillingly: "I know, Mr. Mizuki, but the competition is getting closer and closer, but I always feel that I am far behind."

Hearing Sakura's unwilling words, Shuimu corrected her: "There is one thing you may have made a mistake about. Do you think you haven't made much progress during this period of time?"

Sakura nodded and said, "I know that Mizuki teacher taught me valuable ninjutsu, but how can I become a Chunin in such a short time? I really don't want to lose." Even though Sakura made a long-term choice a month ago and gave up the short-term method of defeating Doss, it was a terrible feeling to have to watch her friends compete in front of everyone while she could only retreat in defeat.

"Alas, you are still a competitive child."

Mizuki touched his forehead in pain and said to Sakura: "First of all, I want to say that you don't understand the extent of your current strength. Let me tell you this, if it was a month ago, you would have a great chance of defeating Uchiha Sasuke."

What was Sasuke's strength a month ago? He only had one Magatama Sharingan, basic ninjutsu and a little fire escape, and the rest was just what he learned in the ninja school. With Sakura's current ability, as long as the tactics were properly matched, there were ways to defeat Sasuke. Of course, if Sasuke activated the curse seal, greatly improving his physical fitness, and crushing with absolute strength and speed, Sakura probably wouldn't be his opponent.

"Defeat Sasuke? How is that possible?" Sakura said in surprise. In Sakura's mind, Sasuke was the embodiment of perfection, and she couldn't even think of being surpassed by him.

"You have to have confidence in what I say, and you also have to have confidence in yourself. The current Sasuke may be much stronger than before. It's hard to say whether you can win, but you are definitely much stronger than before."

"Oh, I see." Sakura breathed a sigh of relief, thank goodness she didn't surpass Sasuke.

"You have the illusion that you are not strong enough, and this is my fault. All along, you have been training against me in battles. Everything you use is what I taught you. Every attack step of yours is within my expectations. So when you train with me, you feel particularly powerless. This is inevitable."

After taking a sip of water, Mizuki continued, "But you have to understand that the person in front of you is a Chunin, not a candidate. His strength is far superior to yours. Do you still have any ideas? You think you can defeat me so easily with what I taught you. You are too naive."

Sakura seemed to understand something after hearing these enlightening words.
