"Don't just rely on your eyes. Organs like your ears and nose can also help you sense your surroundings …"
"Don't hesitate. You'll lose if you do!"
"Is this all you've got? Punches like this won't kill you! "
"You have to learn to play to your strengths. After using sand to protect your vital parts, trading blows with blows is also a good tactic …"
Hyōjin instructed Gaara as he practiced with him.
From Hyōjin's point of view, he did not need to spend too much effort to learn those high-level ninjutsu when he was too young. What he really needed to work hard on was the training of his physical skills and the control of his Chakra.
Physical skills training could not only train a ninja's physique and willpower, but it could also improve a ninja's insight and judgment between life and death.
These were exactly what experts needed the most in a duel.
Therefore, Hyōjin did not ask Gaara to spend a lot of time practicing how to control the sand to attack. Instead, he only asked him to maintain a small amount of sand control.
The amount of sand control was never the key. The key was the precision and speed of the control!
As for the amount, when Gaara grew up and could control a Guardian Crane in his body, he would be able to control as much sand as he wanted with his Chakra.
There was no shortcut to improve the precision and speed of sand control. The only way was to improve it bit by bit through long periods of practice. Not only could this kind of practice hone his Chakra's precision control, but it could also allow his body to slowly adapt to sand control. Over time, some sand control techniques that required concentration would become subconscious movements of his body. He would not need to exert much strength as his body would be able to perform them naturally.
Bang …
Amidst the muffled sound, Hyōjin's fist hit the sand wall that protected Gaara's chest again.
After retreating, Hyōjin smiled and said, "Very good. Your sand control speed is obviously faster than before!"
"Huff, huff …"
The young Gaara panted violently. His chest heaved up and down like a bellows, but his young face was full of joy. It was as if the fatigue of his body was nothing compared to Hyōjin's praise.
Seeing this, Hyōjin sighed to himself, "Sigh, he's also a child who lacks love …"
After sighing, he shifted his gaze to the ball of fine sand surrounding Gaara.
As a matter of fact, even if Gaara didn't control the sand, the sand around him that contained his mother's Chakra would automatically protect him from harm.
But this kind of protection is limited to the level of Genin and Chunin.
Once Gaara encounters a Jonin or an Elite Jonin level enemy, the speed at which the sand automatically protects itself will not be able to keep up.
During the Chunin exam in the original timeline, after the Genin Xiaoli removed the lead that bound her legs, her attack speed faintly exceeded the speed of Gaara's sand's automatic protection. When Xiaoli activated the Eight Inner Gates forbidden technique, her attack speed obviously surpassed the speed of Gaara's sand's automatic protection, and she could easily hit Gaara.
Therefore, relying on the sand's automatic protection, Gaara might be able to run amok at the level of Genin and Chunin. However, if he encountered an expert whose attack speed surpassed the speed of the sand's automatic protection, he would become very passive, just like during the Chunin exam in the original timeline. He could only look around blankly and get hit like a fool.
After catching his breath, Gaara said respectfully, "Sir, you're right. After reducing the amount of sand control, it's much easier to control the sand than before!"
Hyōjin nodded and said, "I've temporarily sealed the guardian crane in your body, so with your current Chakra's amount, controlling too much sand won't play the role of training and will only add to your burden. Moreover, as long as you control it properly, even a small ball of sand will be enough to help you resist the vast majority of attacks! "
Gaara replied in a well-behaved manner, "I understand!"
Hyōjin said again, "Remember, whether it's eating or resting, you must always maintain control of the sand, let your body slowly form a habit, and treat the sand as a part of your body!"
"Hee hee, Gaara, you can do it!"
At this time, a little girl's cheer came from the side.
Hyōjin's face sank when he heard this, and he moved his eyes to the side of the field.
He had to admit that he underestimated the physique of the Uzumaki clan. Originally, he thought that Xiang Lin had suffered too much in the Grass Village. She was small and skinny, so he didn't let her participate in any ninja training, nor did he restrict her diet.
But he didn't think that Xiang Lin, as a Uzumaki clan member, had amazing resilience. In just one or two months, she turned from a skinny little girl to a chubby little girl!
Hyōjin said with a straight face, "Xiang Lin, it's your turn!"
"Ah!?"
Xiang Lin, who was holding a wheat cake, opened her mouth in shock, and the wheat cake crumbs fell to the ground.
"What are you doing, come here!" With a light snort, Hyōjin then said sternly, "From today on, you also have to accept ninja training. If you don't pass, you will have to starve!"
Hearing this, Xiang Lin hurriedly hid the remaining half of the wheat cake in her hand into her small bag, and then walked over with a pout. Being hungry would remind her of her time in Kusanobu Village, and it was the most unbearable thing for her.
Hyōjin stared at little Xiang Lin and asked, "Do you know how to extract Chakra?"
Xiang Lin nodded.
"Very good!" After a pause, Hyōjin said, "From now on, your daily course will be the same as mine, also physical training, plus Chakra control training."
Xiang Lin quickly asked, "Do I also have to practice sand control?"
Hyōjin shook his head and said, "No, you have to practice the Sealing Technique!"
Xiang Lin was a talented child in the Maelstrom Clan, so as long as she was carefully guided, her future achievements would be limitless.
After guiding Xiang Lin on some key points of physical training, Hyōjin handed Xiang Lin over to Gaara.
Although Gaara's physical skills were not too outstanding, it was more than enough to guide Xiang Lin, who was a blank piece of paper. Moreover, communicating with peers was sometimes more efficient than communicating with teachers and elders.
"Caw caw …"
After dealing with the two little guys, Hyōjin was about to return to the laboratory when a faint crow's cry came from outside.
Walking to the outer platform of the Sky Fortress, Hyōjin opened a small area of the barrier and let a Ninja Crow in.
There was a small storage scroll tied to the Ninja Crow's leg. After Hyōjin opened the scroll, he gently pressed it with his thumb.
Boom …
Suddenly, a white smoke filled the air, and several ancient scrolls appeared on the storage scroll, plus a letter with ink that was still wet …
