"And there's more! Want to see?" Looking at the few, Takeru asked with a light laugh.
"Want to see! Want to see!" Hearing Takeru's words, Hinata spoke without thinking. Noa and Koyori also looked full of enthusiasm.
"Alright then. Shadow Clone Technique! Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique! Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!" Seeing their excited expressions, Takeru directly used the Shadow Clone Technique, then his clones simultaneously used the Great Dragon Fire Technique and Water Dragon Bullet Technique.
As the two Ninjutsu collided, the few's eyes filled with hope, and their gazes towards Takeru became even more admiring...
After a simple demonstration, Takeru directly jumped down from the extremely high earthen wall with them, causing another round of screams from everyone.
However, after landing and finding themselves unharmed, Hinata wished Takeru would take her flying again.
"Next time. When you've practiced enough, you'll be able to do it yourself!" Hearing her words, Takeru used this to entice her.
"Master, how long does it take to train Chakra, and what do we need to do?" At that moment, Hana, who had regained her composure, asked Takeru.
"Let me first explain to you what Chakra is." Hearing Hana wasn't led astray by the temptation before her, Takeru was quite satisfied.
"In my view, a person is composed of a physical body and spirit. Having a body without a spirit is the so-called corpse. Having a spirit without a body is the soul, or ghost! The so-called Chakra refers to the product of the even mixture of Spiritual Energy and Physical Energy."
"However, the generation of Chakra isn't that having these two elements means you have Chakra. The mixture of the Physical Energy produced by the one hundred thirty trillion cells in our bodies and Spiritual Energy is called 'stamina'. 'Stamina' is the foundation for using physical techniques."
"Stamina transforms into Chakra within the body. After extracting Chakra, we can use 'techniques' through 'hand seals'!" Looking at everyone, Takeru spoke quickly.
Hearing Takeru's explanation, the few were somewhat overwhelmed. However, they understood one thing: the so-called Chakra is refined by processing and mixing the energy of the body and the energy of the spirit.
Takeru was very clear about their confusion. He was just giving a rough explanation of Chakra's origin, and the focus would be on the Chakra Extraction Technique later.
"One point: the stronger one's foundation, the more advantage it provides for Chakra. Also, when a certain special constitution exists, there are certain shortcuts for Chakra Extraction and training. However, you don't need to concern yourselves with that now, as such special constitutions are rare cases."
"Compared to Nen, Chakra Extraction requires a slightly lower foundation. With dedicated training, if your aptitude is decent, you might initially extract it within one or two months, or even sooner. Of course, to master it, the time needed will be longer." Looking at the few, Takeru added.
"Then, Master, when can we become as strong as you?" Hearing Takeru's words, Hinata asked excitedly.
"To become as strong as me, you'd need special opportunities. But if you work hard and have good aptitude, then by the time you're my age, you should also be able to release Ninjutsu of that level." Hearing Hinata's words, Takeru gently shook his head.
"I understand. I will work hard!" Hearing Takeru's words, Hinata spoke with passion.
"That's a good attitude. So now, tell me your choice: do you want to train Nen or Chakra?" After slightly praising Hinata, Takeru spoke softly.
"Chakra!" Hearing Takeru's words, the few spoke in unison.
"I understand." Hearing their words, Takeru wasn't surprised at all. After all, Takeru knew his earlier explanation was somewhat leaning towards Chakra.
Mainly because Takeru knew the threshold for training Nen was truly a bit higher than for Chakra. If they had aptitudes like Gon and Killua, that would be a different story...
Of course, this didn't mean Takeru thought Chakra was stronger than Nen. In Takeru's view, both had their own advantages. It's just that compared to Nen, Chakra was easier to teach.
As for Nen, it relied purely on personal development. Takeru would basically just guide them into the basics, and the training depended on themselves. But Chakra was different.
Having a large number of Ninjutsu, Takeru could teach according to everyone's different attributes.
While Takeru was chatting here, a violent tremor suddenly sounded.
"E-earthquake?" Sensing this change, Kanon said fearfully.
"Don't worry, I... I'll protect you!" Hearing Kanon's voice, the equally frightened Koyori directly shielded Kanon, speaking defiantly.
As the tremors became more pronounced, everyone even heard a 'thump thump' sound.
Soon, before everyone, a giant black bear appeared.
"B-bear...!" Seeing the bear, Ebina and the five children were terrified. Karin positioned herself in front of everyone, looking gravely at the bear.
"Kokuo!" In contrast to the serious Karin, Miu bypassed her protection and went directly in front of the bear.
Seeing Miu and hearing her call, Kokuo lowered its head, revealing an ingratiating smile.
Seeing Kokuo's obedient appearance, everyone was stunned.
"Don't worry, the black bear has been tamed by me. It won't hurt anyone." Looking at everyone, Takeru spoke softly.
Hearing Takeru's words, everyone was momentarily stunned, then sighed in relief. Hinata and the others quickly regained their spirits and looked at the bear with great curiosity.
"Alright, everyone. Now I'll teach you the Chakra Extraction Technique. As for Miu and Kokuo, go hunt nearby. Later, we'll camp here." Looking at the few, Takeru spoke quickly.
"Okay!" Hearing Takeru's words, Miu made an OK gesture, then jumped onto Kuro's back, letting it carry her away.
"Takeru, is it okay?" Seeing Miu and Kokuo leave like that, Ebina spoke worriedly.
"Don't worry." Hearing her words, Takeru just gently shook his head.
Then, Takeru formed hand seals again, creating a special earthen table and chairs. After having everyone sit, Takeru began explaining how to meditate for Chakra and imparting the Chakra Extraction Technique to everyone...
Hearing Takeru's explanation, the few showed puzzled expressions. Facing their confusion, Takeru explained carefully.
The Chakra Extraction Technique wasn't a very difficult method. After all, in the Ninja World, children generally started learning at age six, and some clan children even began instruction at three or four.
The most important part of Chakra was still meditation. Sensing the energy within one's body and Spiritual Energy through meditation was the most crucial step.
And there were techniques for so-called perception… everything was explained when Takeru obtained the Senjutsu Chakra Extraction Technique...
After Takeru finished explaining, he had everyone begin meditating.
As everyone meditated, time passed quickly. Takeru didn't mind. It wasn't easy for them to fully enter the state the first time, especially for children in their active phase.
However, Hinata and the others, being ten years old and tempted by Ninjutsu, were extremely serious.
Soon, as time passed, Miu and Kokuo returned carrying a mutated wild boar.
Seeing Kokuo and Miu, Takeru signaled them to be quiet. Takeru directly used earthen walls to protect the six who were meditating, then began processing the huge wild boar with Karin and Miki.
Using an ice sword, Takeru easily skinned the boar, quickly gutted it, removed the organs, then used Earth Release to build a simple roasting oven.
Then he gathered some of the trees knocked down earlier by the Wind Release, finally using Fire Release to light a fire and began roasting the boar.
Of course, besides roasting the pig, Takeru also used the boar's limbs to make a pot of wild boar soup.
Although they're in the wild, with convenient Ninjutsu, Nen, and seasonings from the item slots, Takeru and the others had no inconvenience handling these ingredients.
By around twelve o'clock, lunch was ready on time. Looking at everyone who was still meditating or asleep, Takeru laughed and woke them up.
"Eh? How did I get here?" Yawning, Hinata rubbed her eyes and spoke. Clearly, she had fallen asleep during the meditation.
"Do you remember why we came here?" Looking at Hinata's expression, Takeru spoke helplessly.
"Ah, terrible! I... I fell asleep!" Reacting, Hinata said embarrassedly.
"So noisy!" Hearing Hinata's loud shout, Koyori also opened her eyes dazedly. Clearly, she had fallen asleep too.
