Zhang Ye looked into his eyes. It is said that the eyes are the windows to the soul, and Zhang Ye could read the unwavering belief that Nagato held in them at that moment.

"Hahaha……"

Suddenly, Zhang Ye laughed. His voice wasn't loud, clearly so as not to wake the others.

How old do you think I am this year?

After the laughter stopped, Zhang Ye's eyes formed crescent moons.

"Fifteen? Sixteen?" Nagato asked, puzzled.

Zhang Ye shook his finger and said, "I'm eleven years old this year, and I just graduated from the Ninja Academy not long ago. I'm just a Chunin in Konoha. You actually want me to teach you ninjutsu? I don't even know many ninjutsu myself yet!"

Immediately, Nagato's face showed a mixture of shame and anger. "You're lying! We saw you use a wide-range lightning release ninjutsu by the lake earlier. Was that fake too? And how could you possibly be only eleven years old!"

"Why would I lie to you? What good would it do me to lie to you?" Zhang Ye asked.

"but!"

Zhang Ye abruptly changed the subject, and Nagato, who had been furious, immediately looked at him.

“Teaching you ninjutsu isn’t out of the question. Although I don’t know many ninjutsu techniques, I can still instruct you on some survival skills for war!”

"Really?"

"Of course, tomorrow morning, go ask your two friends. If they're willing, let them practice with me tomorrow!" Zhang Ye looked at the two who were still sleeping peacefully against the wall.

After saying that, Zhang Ye patted Nagato on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You should go and get some rest too. Remember to get up early tomorrow!"

Nagato nodded, walked to the corner where Yahiko and the others were, closed his eyes, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Looking at the three people, Zhang Ye couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

The achievements of the three of them were truly astonishing, and Zhang Ye was quite surprised that he could become their teacher.

Silent all night.

As the sky began to lighten, some birds perched on the treetops, chirping incessantly.

Zhang Ye stood shirtless by the lake. Three young children stood in front of him.

"Nagato, can he really teach us ninjutsu? I'm a little skeptical," Yahiko whispered in Nagato's ear, his eyes filled with doubt as he looked at Zhang Ye.

Nagato nodded and said decisively, "Yes!"

“Since Nagato says he can do it, even if we don’t trust him, we should trust Nagato!” Konan chimed in.

"Hmph!" Yahiko crossed his arms and snorted coldly, his eyes filled with contempt as he looked at Zhang Ye.

"How can he compare to those three? You must know they are powerful individuals who could stand up to Hanzo the Salamander, the leader of Amegakure!"

Upon hearing Yahiko's words, Zhang Ye raised an eyebrow. The three people they were referring to were definitely the Legendary Sannin of Konoha.

"Hey, what can you teach us?" Yahiko shouted at Zhang Ye, "Fire Release? Water Release? Or Lightning Release?"

"I can't teach you these things!" Zhang Ye smiled calmly, completely unconcerned about Yahiko's disrespectful tone.

"Tch!" Yahiko curled his lip, dissatisfied. "Just as I thought!"

"But I can teach you the skills to survive in war!"

Upon hearing Zhang Ye's words, Yahiko was taken aback and murmured, "Skills for surviving war?"

He harbored a deep-seated hostility and fear towards war, living in constant anxiety that one day the three of them would be killed by those despicable ninjas.

Therefore, he was very interested in the "skills for surviving war" that Zhang Ye mentioned.

Zhang Ye then asked Yahiko, "What do you think is the most important thing for surviving in war?"

“Powerful chakra, advanced ninjutsu!” Yahiko answered without hesitation.

He believed that only those with powerful skills could survive in this treacherous battlefield, and Nagato and Konan, who were standing nearby, also agreed with Yahiko's words.

“Yes, and no!” Zhang Ye did not deny his words.

Indeed, these two things are essential for survival in war, but they are not the most important.

Yahiko was a little confused by Zhang Ye's words.

"Then what do you think is the most important thing for surviving a war?"

Chapter 89 Why did you survive?

“Beliefs and bonds!” Zhang Ye looked at the three people in front of him and spoke slowly.

The three of them looked at each other, completely baffled by Zhang Ye's words, and had no idea what he meant.

"Yahiko, what you said is not wrong. Chakra and ninjutsu are also essential prerequisites in war!"

But Zhang Ye immediately changed the subject: "But if you really think that's all there is to it, you're wrong! Why do so many powerful people die at the hands of weaker people on the battlefield? Do you know why?"

When Zhang Ye asked them questions, Yahiko and the others exchanged glances and shook their heads in silence.

"What is your purpose in wanting to learn ninjutsu?" Zhang Ye shook his head in disappointment and then asked.

"Live!"

"Change the world!"

"Change the world!"

Konan looked at Nagato and Yahiko with a puzzled expression; she never expected the two of them to say such a thing.

Change the world!

This was such a daunting task; it was a pipe dream for them. For them, having enough to eat and wear, or even just surviving, was a problem.

Changing the world is difficult!

Not only that, even Yahiko, who said the same thing as Nagato, looked at Nagato and realized that the idea of ​​changing the world only came to him after he became a war orphan.

He wanted to change the world and didn't want the flames of war to orphan many children like him again.

"You're all right!"

For him, survival is the most important thing right now. This time is full of danger, and in another twenty years or so, a terrifying enemy will appear in this world.

Even Madara Uchiha was just a nobody in front of her.

Zhang Ye said to them, "If it were me, I would also say 'survive,' but what is your motivation? Do you know?"

Yahiko and Nagato shook their heads, while only Konan nodded.

"Xiao Nan, please tell me!"

Xiao Nan looked at Zhang Ye timidly, opened her mouth but couldn't make a sound.

"Ha ha!"

Zhang Ye looked at Xiao Nan with a wry smile. He could see fear in Xiao Nan's eyes. It seemed that Xiao Nan still hadn't let her guard down.

"I'm not a man-eating tiger, there's no need to be so afraid of me!"

"that……"

Konan raised her head, her innocent big eyes glancing at Zhang Ye, and said hesitantly, "What motivates me now is..." She looked at the two people beside her and said firmly, "It's Yahiko and Nagato. Without them, I'm afraid I would have died long ago!"

"Xiao Nan!"

Not only Yahiko and Nagato, but even Zhang Ye was surprised by Konan's answer.

He had no idea that ten-year-old Xiao Nan could be so clear about her motivation to live.

Although Zhang Ye was a college student before, he had thought about the question of why he was alive for a long time. It wasn't until he came to the world of Naruto and met many people that he understood why he was alive.

clap clap clap!

Zhang Ye applauded Xiao Nan's answer first, then looked at Yahiko and Nagato and said, "Now do you know what motivates you to live?"

Yahiko clenched his fists, looking at the two people beside him, an excited smile appearing on his young face.

"Having you all is the happiest time of my life!"

Then Yahiko looked at Zhang Ye and said firmly, "Then my reason for living is to protect them and change this world!"

And you, Nagato?

Nagato looked at Yahiko, brushed aside his bangs, and looked at Yahiko with slightly reddened eyes, saying, "Same here, I want to protect them!"

Zhang Ye looked at the three young children and smiled. Sure enough, the founders of Xiaozhi at this stage had completely different ideas from them in the future.

They are still innocent children, capable of living for others!

"Alright, since that's the case, I'll teach you some simple things first!" Zhang Ye looked at them and said, "Do you know what chakra is?"

Yahiko spoke first: "It's the energy to unleash ninjutsu!"

"I don't know!" Xiao Nan shook her head.

"I don't know either!" Nagato replied after a moment's thought.

Zhang Ye rubbed his nose. The original owner of this body, although a good-for-nothing, had at least taken some theory classes and had a certain understanding of the description of chakra.

"Chakra is a type of energy extracted from the 130 trillion cells in the body. It is the energy source for performing ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu. This is called physical energy. There is also a type of energy called spiritual energy, which is cultivated through a lot of training and accumulated experience!"

There is another type of energy called natural energy, but since telling them about it wouldn't have any effect, Zhang Ye gave up on it.

"Of course, if you think that having a lot of chakra is enough to become a powerful figure, then you are wrong!" Zhang Ye said coldly to them.

Yahiko frowned and quickly asked, "Isn't that right? With strong chakra, one can unleash powerful ninjutsu. Wouldn't the enemy die with just one ninjutsu?"

“This is a mistake that only beginners make. Let me give you an analogy: chakra is like water, and your body is like a sealed glass of water. What would you do if the glass was full but the water kept flowing?” Zhang Ye asked.

"Full? Does that mean I've already become a strong person?" Yahiko asked, puzzled.

Zhang Ye shook his head. If they hadn't never been exposed to ninjutsu before, Zhang Ye probably would have slapped him flat long ago.

"When the chakra in your body exceeds your own chakra capacity, your body will explode with a 'bang'!"

Yahiko was startled when he heard Zhang Ye's description.

I never imagined that having too much chakra would lead to this situation; it's truly terrifying.

"What should we do then?" Yahiko asked hurriedly.

"Enhance your physical strength to make the water cup bigger and more sturdy!" Zhang Ye paused, then continued, "Therefore, knowing that you are extracting chakra, I will also devise a training method suitable for your current bodies!"
