Konoha: The seal art teacher of the ninja school

Chapter 98: Natal Projection (Two in One)

Everyone was speechless when they heard that this complicated clone technique was actually just one of the basic principles of projection.

What the teacher just said was right, he indeed overestimated everyone.

Even Lin, who had always had good grades in ninjutsu, looked troubled at this moment and asked hesitantly:

"Teacher Xia Yan, I remember you said that in addition to the cloning technique, projection techniques also require the use of transformation techniques..."

Xia Yan waved his hand to make all the clones disappear, then smiled and nodded:

"Yes, the principle is actually very simple. In the process of constructing multiple clones' actions that I just mentioned, the transformation technique is used to further modify the appearance of the clones."

"Everyone also knows that the seal gestures required to perform the clone technique are Wei, Si, and Yin, while the transformation technique requires a single Wei seal."

"The unprinted seal is a hand gesture commonly used to assist in changing the nature of chakra and shaping the appearance. Therefore, the unprinted function used in the clone technique and the transformation technique is essentially the same."

"It's just that the clone technique is to give chakra its own image information and then release it from the body to form, while the transformation technique is to give chakra the image information of various things and then circulate it in the body."

"So you can simply think of the projection technique as performing an incomplete transformation technique first, giving chakra information, and then releasing it into the body through the clone technique."

"So the seal gestures of the projection technique are the same as those of the clone technique, which are Wei, Si and Yin."

"How about it? The number of linked seals has not increased. Isn't it very simple?"

Yes...that's weird!

The students all had a grimace on their faces.

Although the number of seals has not increased, isn't this actually a transformation technique directly inserted into the clone technique?

Is this called simple?

Obito and Kai, who were both low school students, hugged each other and trembled.

The ordinary three-body technique originally gave them a headache, let alone the projection technique that combined the transformation technique and the clone technique.

However, Akai was shaking before he remembered a very important thing.

That is, it seems that he has not taken the sealing arts class as an elective and does not need to learn this at all.

After Akai trembled for a while, he suddenly felt dull.

The assistant coach Kushina on the side also smiled bitterly.

Recently, she has been sparring with Xia Yan in the woods near the school from time to time, and she has long been very coveted by his projection skills.

She originally thought that this technique, which Xia Yan planned to teach to his students, shouldn't be too difficult, but she didn't expect it to be so much more complicated than she imagined.

Seeing everyone's sad faces, Xia Yan smiled slightly and said:

"You may not have changed your mind yet, and you are still looking at the projection technique with the same thinking as ordinary ninjutsu."

"You must know that complexity is never a big problem for sealing techniques or rune ninjutsu. After all, many of the steps can be simplified by drawing the corresponding rune techniques on the rune paper in advance."

"So even if the knot version of the projection technique is a ninjutsu that is at least C-level in difficulty, I am very confident that most students will master the rune version of the projection technique before graduation."

After hearing this, everyone nodded slowly and thoughtfully, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Indeed, although it is not easy to make projection spells by drawing runes, it is still much simpler than directly forming seals and casting projection spells on the spot.

Then Xia Yan said again:

"And the projection technique that I intend for most students to master is not as fancy or large-scale as what I usually use."

"But even the most superficial projection technique can be very effective as long as it is used properly."

"For example..."

Xia Yan said as he snapped his fingers, and immediately everyone saw a scene of two ninjas slowly emerging behind him, fighting each other in the dense forest.

Teacher Xia Yan’s short story teaching method appeared.

Except for Akai who was a little confused, Kushina and other students started to get excited.

One of the reasons why everyone likes to take the sealing art class is because Teacher Xia Yan will not only play stories to everyone before get out of class, but will also use projection technology to play various short stories during class, thus deepening everyone's memory of some knowledge.

The program is very effective!

So as soon as everyone sees the changes in the surrounding scene, they will know that it is time to watch the story.

However, unlike the usual weird fictional stories, this time they soon discovered a familiar figure.

"Ah, isn't that just..."

A young ninja with white curly hair quickly caught their attention.

After all, that boy often appears in the Genin card game, so everyone is familiar with him.

Yes, that's what their teacher Natsuhiko looked like during his genin days.

At this moment, he was fighting against an enemy who was several heads taller than him, but within a few moves, he started to retreat continuously.

Fortunately, he found an opportunity to throw a shuriken to force the opponent back a few steps. He took the opportunity to dodge and hide behind a big tree, panting and looking embarrassed.

After everyone held down Akai who wanted to step forward to help, they continued to watch.

Then the young version of Teacher Xia Yan squatted behind a big tree, turned his head warily to stare at the enemy not far behind the tree, took out a talisman and clamped it between his fingers, and then began to form complicated handprints.

His opponent, an adult ninja wearing a Iwagakure forehead protector, was approaching him step by step with a grin.

The real scene was different from the past, and everyone gradually forgot that this was actually just a projection, and began to sweat for Xiao Xiayan.

Fortunately, Xiao Xiayan's technique was finally completed before the opponent arrived!

With a slight bang, a figure that looked exactly like Xiao Xiayan rushed out from behind the tree and scurried in one direction at a very fast speed.

It can be seen that his steps seemed a little messy due to panic, and his face that turned his head and looked back from time to time also showed an expression of fear.

If everyone hadn't seen with their own eyes that it was just a clone created by Xiao Xiayan, they would have almost thought it was a real person.

The Iwagakure ninja obviously didn't realize anything was wrong, so he chased after him in a cat-and-mouse manner.

But the real Xiao Xiayan was lying on the ground motionless. When the other party left his sight, he quickly got up and quickly ran in the opposite direction.

It wasn't until the projection slowly disappeared that everyone's tense nerves relaxed and they let out a long breath.

Although it was just a simple confrontation, the tension between life and death still made everyone breathless.

Even Kushina, because she had been staying in the village for many years, had hardly encountered any danger, so she was patting her barren chest to comfort her little heart, which was beating a little too fast.

When Xia Yan saw this, he also sighed with emotion: "That time was indeed very dangerous. If the other party hadn't been serious, I'm afraid it would be difficult for you to see Teacher Xia Yan and me now."

"What, that actually happened?" Hong said in surprise.

Others also opened their eyes in surprise.

I didn't expect that Teacher Xia Yan, who usually seemed to be omnipotent, would have such embarrassing experiences in the past.

This made everyone realize again that Teacher Natsuhiko was born in a civilian ninja family.

Thinking that he had actually developed the projection technique under such conditions, and would go on to create the path of rune ninjutsu in the future, everyone couldn't help but look at Xia Yan with admiration.

Especially students from ordinary families such as Lin, Kai and Ebisu were greatly inspired and determined to become ninjas like Mr. Natsuhiko.

Xia Yan was a little embarrassed by everyone, so he waved his hands and said:

"Okay, everyone, don't look at me like this. This is not the purpose of my projection just now."

"I feel that real examples are more convincing, so I show my experience to everyone."

Everyone came back to their senses after hearing this, remembering that the teacher showed the projection to let them understand how simple projection technology can be used in actual combat.

Then they heard Xia Yan explain:

"And what I used in the projection just now is the prototype of the projection technique, so the steps are a bit complicated. You just need to look at my idea of ​​using the projection technique."

"Obviously, the projection technique I used is actually an enhanced version of the technique of making the clone move as mentioned before, allowing the clone to perform more complex facial expressions, further improving the confusion and practicality."

"In terms of confusion effect, it is very close to the Shadow Clone Technique, and even many of the Shadow Clone Technique's tactics can be used directly."

"However, the Shadow Clone Jutsu is a B-level ninjutsu that is difficult for jounin to learn. It requires a lot of chakra and is not something that ordinary genin can master."

"It is precisely because of this that the Iwagakure ninja did not think of this possibility and gave me the opportunity to escape."

Everyone nodded slowly after hearing this, feeling that this usage is indeed quite cost-effective.

Xia Yan then showed everyone how to use several projection techniques, and all of them were battle scenes that he had personally experienced.

There is a scene where Xiao Natsuhiko creates a clone with detonating symbols all over his body, shouts "Art is explosion" and rushes towards his opponent, and then he takes the opportunity to escape.

There is a scene where Ko Natsuhiko creates a clone of Naruhito who commits suicide in order not to reveal the information, and then dives himself to escape.

There is a scene where Xiao Natsuhiko creates seven clones and escapes in eight directions, making it impossible for the enemy to distinguish them.

There is a scene where Xiao Natsuhiko creates a clone that overlaps with his own body, and he uses the earth escape he just learned to escape from the underground...

Although with each scene, Xiao Xiayan's projection skills became more and more proficient, the number of seals continued to decrease, and the runes on the rune paper became more and more complex.

Even later, the sound effects mentioned by Teacher Xia Yan were developed, and the projections became more and more realistic.

However, everyone's expressions gradually became weird.

Why do you feel that the teacher has so much experience in escaping?

Asma, who has always spoken directly, complained directly:

"Teacher, why are these all used to escape?"

Xia Yan smiled and explained:

"You may not know that even during the most intense stage of the Second Ninja War, most genin on the battlefield were only responsible for logistics work, and the risk was not high."

"But once you encounter danger, you will be in a desperate situation."

"Because what we are most likely to encounter is the enemy's ninjas sneaking in in order to cut off our supply lines."

"For example, the ninja in the first projection scene just now was the one I encountered while maintaining the magic circle nodes behind the battlefield."

"Facing these opponents whose strength is at least chuunin level, being able to successfully escape and save one's life is already the greatest victory."

"So how to use projection to escape in various situations will be one of the focuses of future teaching."

After hearing what Teacher Xia Yan said, everyone felt that the life of a ninja seemed boring and dangerous, not as beautiful as they imagined, and they felt disillusioned.

Xia Yan saw everyone's faces slumped and looked listless. In order to improve everyone's interest in learning, Xia Yan had no choice but to shake his head and smile:

"But there are actually other practical uses of projection."

As everyone's eyes lit up again, Xia Yan snapped his fingers again.

Then the projection of little Natsuhiko appeared again, but this time it seemed a little bigger than before.

I saw his hands folded in front of his chest, holding a large shuriken in each hand.

Then he swung his arm violently, and the shuriken flew out with a sound.

He quickly formed a seal, and then countless shuriken projections appeared out of thin air, mixed with the real shurikens just thrown, and flew towards the five enemies in the distance.

However, this time Teacher Natsuhiko had some evil intentions, placing everyone right between Xiao Natsuhiko and the enemy.

So those large shurikens were flying towards them.

"Everyone, knock down!"

Kai yelled, then pulled Obito and threw him to the ground.

Obito was caught off guard and was pulled down all of a sudden. His wounds were stretched and he screamed in pain.

But at this time, no one else noticed at all.

Because even though everyone is used to the big scenes created by Teacher Xia Yan's projection technique, they still feel numb when they see countless shurikens flying towards them.

Because for a while, they couldn't find a good way to crack it.

Sure enough, when they followed the shuriken passing through their bodies and looked back, they saw that the ninjas were confused. They only had time to protect their vital parts, and many other parts of their bodies were hit by shurikens.

Terrible.

But just when everyone was looking forward to seeing how Teacher Xia Yan would show off his power and defeat them, the projection began to gradually disappear.

"ah!"

Like a reader being persecuted by a broken dog, Asma said anxiously, "Teacher, please don't, let us finish reading the ending of this battle."

Xia Yan was slightly startled when he heard this, then he realized what he was saying, he spread his hands helplessly and said:

"But this is the end of this battle - you just turned your head to look at the enemy, so you may not have noticed. In fact, I had already taken advantage of this opportunity to run away."

"Otherwise, do you still think I can deal with so many ninjas by myself?"

"..."

Everyone was speechless for a while.

I can only complain in my heart: Teacher Xia Yan really does not forget his original intention.

At this time, everyone realized that Obito had fallen to the ground without knowing it, and Kai was lying on Obito, protecting him tightly, like a man on top of a man.

Everyone turned their heads and couldn't bear to watch.

Only Lin blushed slightly, feeling like she wanted to look but was embarrassed.

After Xia Yan recorded this scene, he said angrily:

"What are you two doing? You are in class now!"

Obito, who was pinned down by Akai, was dying and said: "It's really... it's none of my business..."

Only then did Akai slowly react and touched the back of his head in embarrassment.

After everyone finally put the squealing Obito back into the wheelchair, the teaching returned to normal.

Xia Yan first looked at Asma and said:

"Asuma, don't you think the scene just now seems a bit familiar?"

"Eh..."

Asuma also thought of something when he heard this, "This is very similar to the shuriken shadow clone technique that my father demonstrated to me."

Xia Yan smiled and nodded:

"Yes, this technique was developed based on Hokage-sama's technique, so it is also called the Shuriken Clone Technique."

"Used to deal with enemies who don't know the Five Elements Escape Technique and don't have many bunkers around them, it should be able to achieve good results."

"By the way, the Third Hokage's Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique was invented based on the Second Hokage's Shadow Clone Technique, and the Second Hokage's Shadow Clone Technique was invented based on the First Hokage's Wood Clone Technique—

—Ah, this is just a little bit of popular science, you don’t need to think too deeply about it.”

After hearing what the teacher said, everyone decided to think about it carefully.

So everyone quickly gasped!

After all, the teacher's shuriken clone technique was also invented based on the Third Hokage's shuriken shadow clone technique.

According to this rule, doesn't it mean...

My teacher has the qualifications of Hokage!

Xia Yan pretended not to notice everyone's burning gazes and continued his lecture:

"Of course, in addition to the shuriken clone technique, the projection technique can also be used with detonating charms and various traps."

"For example, if you are chased by the enemy while escaping, and you set a trap but it is too late to remove the traces, you can use projection to directly cover it with a layer of camouflage..."

Following Xia Yan's words, several small Xia Yan appeared next to him. At the same time, they set up various traps in different environments and used projection technology to disguise them.

Those disguises that were difficult to distinguish between true and false made everyone's scalp numb, and they felt that if they didn't have the ability to perceive, it would be impossible to detect them.

I just watched the teacher go from using projection to escape to using projection to set up traps and kill him while escaping.

Everyone always feels that Teacher Xia Yan's fighting style seems to be developing in a strange direction.

After a while, Xia Yan finally finished explaining the various methods of using basic projection techniques, and paused for a moment to let everyone digest.

Everyone reviewed the usage mentioned by Teacher Xia Yan and gradually became aware of the rules.

That means it is not beyond the scope.

In those demonstrations just now, there was basically nothing that could not be learned in the ninja school. Even the projection technique itself was a combination of clone technique and transformation technique.

But these things taught in the ninja school are organically combined together through projection technology in the hands of Teacher Xia Yan, amplifying each other's effects.

I feel that as long as I master Natsuyan-sensei's projection technique, even ordinary students with no family heritage may not be able to compete with the children of the ninja clan.

after all……

"Compared with the abundant attack methods, the life of a ninja is fragile. Even an ordinary kunai can easily take away the life of a jounin as long as it is used properly."

Xia Yan began to make his closing arguments.

"Because the error tolerance is extremely low, the importance of intelligence occupies an important position."

"This is why I often say that information is the life of a ninja."

"As for the projection technique, as a ninjutsu that can weave false information, it contains countless possibilities. Even I, the inventor, dare not say that I can develop all the uses."

"Therefore, in the future teaching plan of projection technique, in addition to the basic practical projection technique, I also plan to let each student design and develop his own usage of projection technique, thereby continuously broadening the scope of use of projection technique."

"Of course, all of you will be no exception."

Xia Yan then said:

"I even have higher requirements for you. In addition to learning the rune version of projection like other students, you must also gradually master the knotted projection technique by constantly drawing projection spells."

"Especially the projection technique you designed yourself will continue to evolve with your growth in all aspects..."

"Well... for the sake of distinction, let's call this projection technique your natal projection technique."

"So the first extra homework today is to go home and come up with a way to use projection that best suits your needs. Write it down on paper and hand it in at the next study group activity."

"OK!"

Everyone agreed enthusiastically and were eager to try out the projection technique of their own lives.

Xia Yan nodded and said:

"Then, we have to start the specific teaching of projection now."

"But before that, there is one more thing to do..."

"What is Teacher Xia Yan?"

Everyone who was aroused by Teacher Xia Yan's words quickly asked.

Xia Yan said slowly:

"Of course...it's radio gymnastics!"

Everyone was once again saved up to their waists by Teacher Xia Yan's bend in the drainage channel.

I always feel like I'm back to square one.

Xia Yan explained:

"After all, you only need to use the part above your neck to listen to the lecture. It would be a waste to leave other parts idle!"

"Anyway, there is a motion copying device. You don't need to control the motion at all. You just need to hand over your body to Akai."

"That's right, keep it on me!"

Akai also gave a thumbs up after hearing this.

Having made a mistake just now, he decided to perform well to make up for his mistake.

But he soon thought that Obito, who was hurt the most by him, seemed unable to do exercises now...

Ah this.

Everyone could not refute what Teacher Xia Yan said, so they had to stand still and let Akai do whatever he wanted with their bodies.

As the headphone version of the MP3 card was activated in Akai's ears, the students began to dance along with Akai's movements.

Xia Yan, on the other hand, snapped his fingers, and a large blackboard appeared behind him, which was densely filled with various runes and spells, making people feel dizzy just looking at it.

"Then we will begin to enter the first stage of learning the projection technique, dismantle the clone technique and transformation technique, and completely transform the seal gestures into the form of runes."

"What we are going to talk about today are the first three of the one hundred and thirty-six unprinted rune spell groups. Everyone should listen carefully."

"..."

The students who were doing exercises began to listen to Teacher Xia Yan spouting various obscure words.

They don't understand each one individually, and they don't understand even more together.

Thinking that this kind of course will be conducted for a long time in the future,

Everyone's fear of being dominated by radio gymnastics seems to have been awakened again.

But before, they were physically tired, but this time, they were mentally tired...
