Naruto: The Tavern Speech Begins to Make the Land of Rain Great

Chapter 35 Rin's Special Training

A row of neat ninja tools hung on the white wall, and the light shone on the faces of Nagato and the other two.

They observed everything around them with curiosity.

"Wow, it's an indoor training ground!"

"Still a private room!"

"I wonder when we'll have a training ground like this!"

Rin suddenly turned her head and stared at Yahiko, who had been muttering to himself.

"You talk too much."

Upon hearing Rin's mention of the river pond, Yahiko covered his mouth with both hands, shook his head, and indicated that he would not speak.

His adorable appearance made Rin's lips curl up slightly, and he continued.

"Watanabe asked me to mentor you, but before that, let me see if you have the potential to be ninjas."

Rin pulled a small booklet from her pocket; it was the "Ten Guides for Beginners in Ninja" issued by the Akatsuki.

The first one is how to refine chakra.

Rin looked up at the three of them.

"Please sit down."

The three of them looked at each other and obediently sat down on the floor.

The icy touch made Yahiko hiss, which earned him a glare from Rin.

Rin realized that the other two children had a down-to-earth and steady personality, making them good candidates to be ninjas.

This guy is carefree and seems pretty unreliable.

Can someone like that really become a ninja?

However, remembering Watanabe Tetsu's words, he temporarily put aside his doubts.

After all, Watanabe Tetsu's original words were that all three of them could easily become elite Jonin by the age of twenty.

Twenty years old!

Although Rin was shocked, she still chose to believe Watanabe Tetsu.

A calm expression appeared on his face as he addressed the three people before him.

"Ninjas rely on chakra. They can mobilize their own chakra through hand seals to eventually form ninjutsu."

"And for you, the first step to becoming a ninja is to learn how to refine chakra."

Rin took a step forward and sat cross-legged on the ground as well.

"Learn from me, close your eyes, and feel the physical and mental energy within your body."

After saying that, Rin opened her eyes and observed the three people in front of her.

Nagato was the most composed; he closed his eyes and mimicked Rin's posture with both hands, his breathing steady.

Konan is no less impressive. Although her breathing is somewhat unstable compared to Nagato's, she is still quite outstanding for her first attempt at refining chakra.

As for Yahiko...

"Hehehe... What a big grilled fish."

A black line appeared on Rin's forehead.

"Yahiko! Wake up!"

Rin's voice startled Yahiko awake. He looked around, scratched his head sheepishly, and then crossed his legs, trying to refine his chakra.

After watching for two hours, Rin realized that the others had basically mastered the postures and key points, and then slowly stood up.

Now, all we can do is wait for them to finally figure it out.

There's nothing more Rin can do.

It normally takes a ninja several days to half a month to learn chakra refinement.

During this time, Rin felt there was nothing she could do to help.

Thinking of this, he was about to leave when he suddenly heard a faint question.

"Rin-sensei, I think I... succeeded."

Rin suddenly stopped in her tracks.

He slowly turned his head and stared at Nagato, who had spoken.

He walked a few steps to Nagato and reached out to feel the chakra surging from Nagato's body.

"this..."

Two hours.

You learned chakra extraction in just two hours?

This...how is that possible?

Even a genius like him, who could become an elite Jonin, took a full week.

Rin remembered what Watanabe Tetsu had said earlier.

"They are geniuses."

Rin suddenly didn't know what to say.

He paused for two seconds, just about to speak, when he heard a gentle female voice beside him.

"Teacher Rin, I...I think I've extracted it too."

Rin turned to look at Konan, his face now devoid of any emotion.

This is a kind of numbness.

"Oh, that's good."

Rin pretended to be calm and sat down again, staring at Yahiko who was still gritting his teeth and persevering.

One minute...

Five minutes...

Fifteen minutes...

Hey! What happened to the surprise you gave me?

Rin sighed. It's true that people's physical constitutions cannot be generalized.

He took two chakra test strips out of his pocket and handed them to Konan and Nagato.

"This is a chakra test strip. By injecting chakra into this strip, we can determine your chakra nature."

Nagato and Konan looked curiously at the seemingly ordinary chakra test strip.

Then, he slowly infused the freshly refined chakra into the vessel.

Rin slowly leaned forward to observe the state of Konan's chakra test strip.

One piece cracked, one piece shattered, one piece remained wet.

A hint of surprise flashed in Rin's eyes.

Is this a rare innate triple chakra attribute?

It's important to know that most ninjas are born with only one chakra nature and need to develop more chakra natures through training.

Normally, being proficient in two chakra natures is enough to be considered a Jonin.

Aside from ninjas who can overcome all techniques with sheer force, such as the legendary Second Hokage, most ninjas rely on the combination of multiple chakra attributes to gain an advantage in battle.

After all, the relationship of restraint between chakra attributes is still quite clear.

As someone with multiple chakra natures, Konan naturally possesses advantages that others do not have.

No wonder Watanabe said she could become an elite Jonin at the age of twenty.

Rin felt he had been surprised a lot today, and he slowly looked at Nagato's test paper.

One area caught fire, another was split open, another became wrinkled, another became damp, and finally, the last piece crumbled.

Oh, you are a rare, one-of-a-kind possessor of all five elemental chakra attributes.

Oh, that's alright.

Hmm, not bad.

Rin's gaze gradually lost focus, and he stared blankly at Nagato.

This made Nagato and Konan somewhat flustered, and they both asked questions.

"Rin-sensei, how are our chakra attributes?"

Xiao Nan also hurriedly spoke up.

"Does a higher chakra test result mean a lower talent level? Don't be sad, we will work hard."

Nagato nodded as well. He looked at his chakra test strips showing his five reactions and made up his mind to make up for the gap between himself and a genius through hard work.

Rin's eyes were somewhat dazed as he explained.

"No, before I tell you about your chakra attributes, let me ask you a question first."

Nagato and Konan nodded in unison.

"Nagato, right? Have you ever dreamt of an old man with a staff, floating in the air?"

"no."

"Did your father tell you that you are actually the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths?"

"no."

Nagato's eyes held a hint of curiosity.

This made Rin sigh, and finally he said resentfully, as if accepting his fate.

"You are one of the few possessors of all five elemental chakra natures in the entire ninja world."

Rin's eyes held a hint of envy as he boasted.

"If I possessed all five elemental chakra attributes, I would already have Hanzo under my left foot and Watanabe under my right."
