Inuzuka Tsuru asked in a deep voice.
On Monday, Kiba Inuzuka had told her about the practical test, so she didn't pursue the matter of him coming home late.
"Win all three games!"
Kiba Inuzuka exclaimed excitedly, "I learned the Shadow Clone Technique today!"
"not bad."
Inuzuka Tsurugi's attitude softened upon hearing this, and he said...
"Your teacher Kitazawa is so kind."
Inuzuka Hana leaned closer and remarked with a sigh, "Our teacher never taught the Shadow Clone Technique."
"That is indeed true."
After a moment's thought, Inuzuka Tsuru said, "Ask him when he'll be free to come to our house as a guest."
"Ah."
Kiba Inuzuka nodded, hesitated for two seconds, and said, "Today, Kitazawa-sensei taught me a secret technique."
"Is it the secret technique you told me about before?"
Inuzuka Tsuru paused for a moment, then asked instinctively.
When Kiba Inuzuka asked for the secret technique, he told her that Kitazawa was going to create a new secret technique.
She naturally didn't believe it.
But she couldn't resist Kiba's pleading, so she gave him two secret techniques.
"Yes, that's it!"
Kiba Inuzuka exclaimed in admiration, "A secret technique that allows fusion without the need for ninja dogs!"
"Was it created in such a short time?"
Inuzuka Tsurugi felt something was amiss.
"I'll demonstrate it to you."
Kiba Inuzuka formed hand seals and created a shadow clone.
The two then used Hellhound simultaneously, thus merging into a two-headed dog.
But he soon broke free of the combined state.
"I just learned it today and I'm not very good at it yet."
Kiba Inuzuka scratched his head and said, "My shadow clone and I aren't very coordinated. Right now, we even have difficulty walking."
"Shadow clones have too many ideas; they're not as simple as ninja dogs."
After thinking for a moment, Inuzuka Tsurugi understood the reason.
How do I explain this secret technique?
It's a bit bland, but not worth throwing away either.
It is only suitable for Inuzuka clan members who do not have ninja dogs to use as a transitional measure.
But there are not many people like this in the clan.
The vast majority of members of the Inuzuka clan will find a ninja dog who understands them before the age of ten.
However, Kitazawa's mastery of secret arts still exceeded her expectations.
After all, the Inuzuka clan's secret techniques involve Yang Release.
This indicates that Kitazawa's Yang Release chakra nature transformation level is extremely high.
"It seems that the rumor is true."
Inuzuka Tsurugi had a thought and said.
There have been many rumors ever since Tsunade stormed the Root base.
One of the claims is related to Kitazawa, stating that he is Tsunade's student, though this hasn't been made public yet.
After seeing the secret technique of Hellhound, Inuzuka Tsuru completely believed the rumor.
Because medical ninjutsu is also a form of Yang Release.
It makes perfect sense for a highly skilled medical ninja to create a Yang Release technique.
"Ya, I'll go to school with you tomorrow."
Inuzuka Tsuru pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Ok."
Kiba Inuzuka nodded and said.
He had already guessed Inuzuka Tsurugi's purpose.
In his view, Kitazawa had given them a very useful secret technique of the Inuzuka clan, and they really should go and meet him.
It's Thursday, another new day.
When Kitazawa opened his eyes, he felt pain all over his body, as if someone had beaten him up.
In fact, it's pretty much the same.
He spent another night learning superhuman strength from Tsunade yesterday.
Kitazawa now understands why Matt Kay needs to train every day, rain or shine.
Learning physical martial arts definitely requires a strong physique.
After having breakfast, Kitazawa went to the school's training ground.
"Teacher Kitazawa."
Karin noticed him walking towards her and asked, "Is there something you need?"
"I have prepared five sets of test papers for you."
Kitazawa smiled and said, "You do one set a day, and I'll check next Thursday."
"Ok."
Unlike Naruto Uzumaki, Karin didn't have a fear of doing practice problems and agreed without hesitation.
"I'll teach you ninjutsu during winter break."
Kitazawa reached out and patted her head, saying, "Your goal is to be in the top ten in the final theory exam."
"Top ten? I'll try my best!"
Karin said with a serious expression.
Although getting into the top ten is difficult, it's still not as difficult as getting into Kusagakure.
"Then you should continue your studies."
Kitazawa withdrew his hand and said.
There's a saying from a past life: "Children of poor families learn to be independent early."
This statement is also very fitting for Karin.
After seeing that everyone's training was going well, Kitazawa went to the school's artificial lake.
To his surprise, besides Kiba Inuzuka, there was another female ninja who looked somewhat like him.
"Hello, Kitazawa-sensei."
Inuzuka Tsuru introduced herself, saying, "I am the mother of the tooth, Inuzuka Tsuru."
"I have long admired your name."
Kitazawa immediately smiled and said.
In the original work, Tsurugi Inuzuka's role is similar to, or even less than, that of Shiki Aburame.
He appeared during the Konoha Crush, the Pain Invasion, and the Fourth Shinobi World War.
"Ya already told me yesterday that you created a new secret technique called Hellhound for the Inuzuka clan."
Inuzuka Tsuru stated frankly, "The purpose of my visit today is to express my gratitude to you."
After she finished speaking, she took out a spirit storage scroll.
"Thank you."
Kitazawa didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the scroll directly.
After all, a C-rank secret technique is not cheap.
"Teacher Kitazawa, would you be interested in having a ninja dog?"
Inuzuka Tsuru hesitated for two seconds before asking.
Ninja dogs are companions of the Inuzuka clan, but they are not exclusively theirs.
If a foreign ninja who has been kind to the Inuzuka clan asks to have a ninja dog, they will not hesitate to do so.
Logically speaking, Kitazawa had not yet done them any favors.
After all, the Hellhound technique is only usable by a few members of the Inuzuka clan.
However, Inuzuka Tsurugi took into account Kitazawa's relationship with Tsunade and decided to give him one.
"Ninja dog?"
Kitazawa was taken aback upon hearing this.
He truly hadn't expected Inuzuka Tsurugi to send him a ninja dog.
how to say?
While ninja dogs may not be particularly strong in combat, they excel at providing support.
This can be seen from Kakashi Hatake's ninja dogs; they are quite useful in crucial moments.
If combined with the Inuzuka clan's secret techniques, ninja dogs can also demonstrate a certain level of combat capability.
"I don't need it for the time being."
Kitazawa thought for a moment and said, "It would be a waste for it to come with me."
He didn't want to learn any secret techniques for human-dog fusion.
As I said before, when it comes to summoning spirit beasts, you have to look to the three holy lands.
Kitazawa has a very high chance of obtaining slugs from Shikkotsu Forest, so there's no need to keep a ninja dog.
"If you change your mind, you can come to me anytime."
Inuzuka Tsuru didn't press the issue, but he also didn't make any absolute statements.
"Ok."
Kitazawa nodded and said.
Who knows, he might need to use ninja dogs someday, and then he can ask the Inuzuka clan for them.
"Teacher Kitazawa, I won't bother you any longer. I'll take my leave now."
Inuzuka Tsurugi turned to Inuzuka Kiba and instructed, "Train hard."
"Mom, don't worry!"
Kiba Inuzuka immediately replied, "With Kitazawa-sensei here, there won't be any problems."
Once Inuzuka Tsuru left, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Go train."
Seeing this, Kitazawa smiled and said.
He could tell that Kiba Inuzuka was very afraid of Tsurugi Inuzuka.
