Naruto:Guru System
Ch 42: Training Methods (2)

Author Note: {As uthor said in the author's notes of the previous chapter, Sanada simply "lent" the book to Sasuke. And even so, Sasuke could only read it in front of Sanada. Sanada wanted Sasuke to read the first few chapters of the book, which are the basics of breathing techniques to help him develop faster.}

And why Sanada didn't create a new breathing style for Sasuke..

The time is only one month, and designing a new breathing style plus expecting Sasuke to learn it is too much, I think >_<

. . . . . . . .

the next morning - Early in the morning -

Just like the day before, Sanada brought Sakura, Ami, Sasuke, and Karin to the training ground of team six.

If the previous day was an introduction of how they would train, today was the day their hellish training would truly begin.

Sakura, Ami, and Karin are currently running with weights on their backs, while Sasuke is carrying Sanada, who is holding a permanent marker in his hand.

"Faster, do you think you can avoid anything with this speed? At your current speed, even Gohan would dodge better than you!" Sanada said as he drew a large arrow on Sasuke's bald head.

'Who is Gohan!' Sasuke thought in silence. However, he was too tired to complain and eventually decided to continue his training.

Physical exercise lasts about two hours, from 03:30 to 05:30. During this time, Sanada will continue to increase the level of physical training to push their bodies to their limits.

After the four Genins finished with their physical training, they immediately fell to the ground with extremely tired breaths while preparing to rest their tired bodies.

Heck, not only did they do a full two hours of running with weights on their bodies, but they also had to avoid Uchimizu from Sanada.

It was a miracle that they could even last this long, and even Sasuke began to skip his casual training with Kakashi.

Not long after they finished their physical training, a boy came with a large basket in his hand.

"Yo, still training hard, huh? Here, take this! This will ensure your body has enough nutrients to handle the tough workouts!" Hibachi said as he handed over some lunch boxes.

Before the training, Sanada had asked Hibachi to prepare a special meal for the four of them.

Sanada actually wanted to take on this role in preparing his own meals, but when Hibachi saw Sanada cooking in the kitchen, he had to, he asked if he could take over this role because he also wanted to do something for his team-mates.

Sakura, Ami, and Karin instantly thanked him when they received their lunchbox, while Sasuke slightly tsundere and just hummed after receiving it.

Of course, Hibachi would not be offended by something like this. He had long known about Sasuke's personality, and it would be surprising if Sasuke didn't act a little tsundere.

After finishing their lunchbox, Genin continued their training while Hibachi returned to Izakaya Nobu.

Now Sanada is slowly shifting the role of head restaurant chef to Hibachi and therefore Hibachi now has more work to do in the restaurant.

- afternoon exercises -

BAM!!!

Shots were heard all over the training ground as Sanada used his wooden sword to hit Sasuke's head.

"You should follow a certain breathing pattern and not just rush into inhaling all the oxygen in one breath!"

For afternoon training, Sanada assigned the four Genins to complete concentration breathing exercises.

Although Sakura, Ami, and Karin would not focus on a breathing style like Sasuke, Sanada nevertheless thought that making them learn total concentration breathing was a good choice.

Total concentration breathing is like the Seven Heavens Breathing Method used by Shinra in the Naruto anime. The difference is that this one is lighter and easier to control.

There were no prominent blood vessels like in the Seven Heavens Breathing Method, and although the effect was not as good as the Seven Heavens Breathing Method, it was enough for them.

The ninja battle was also a battle of concentration, and Sanada believed that breathing total concentration would help them maintain peak conditions during battle.

Sanada looked at Sasuke, who was obediently following his orders, but from the looks of it, he had many questions on his mind.

*results*

'It seems that I should show him the true value of the breathing technique first ....'

Sanada clapped his hands to signal the four Genins to stop what they were doing and shift their focus on him.

"So before you ask again.. Let's see this first."

Genin wondered what Sanada would do. Suddenly, they saw a change in Sanada.

Sanada put his hand on the wooden sword, and suddenly everyone could feel Sanada had changed his breath.

"First Form: Water Surface Slash (Ichi no Kata: Minamo Giri)."

When facing the empty space in the training ground, Sanada combined his mastery in the water attribute chakra with the water breathing force to produce a slash with enough momentum to create a single powerful concentrated slash that could tear the ground apart.

*SWOOSHHH!!!*

The air around Sanada's sword seemed depressed as a 10-meter-long large water blade emerged from it. The slats of water falling to the ground created a huge crater that would not be inferior to the destruction caused by the B-Rank ninjutsu.

Time seemed to stop for a moment as the four Genins did not believe what they had just seen.

They know that their sensei is strong. But to produce an attack equivalent to a B-Rank Ninjutsu in just one slash was certainly beyond their imagination.

We should know that the chakra consumption required for the Ninjutsu B-Rank is not low. But from the looks of it, it didn't seem like Sanada spent a lot of energy in that one attack.

He still had the same fresh and indifferent expression on his face, and it seemed like he did it easily without any problems.

"Well, basically like that. If you master total concentration breathing, then you might as well be able to do something like that!" Sanada said with a smile.
