A small campfire dispelled the surrounding darkness.
Orochimaru picked up a piece of wood from beside his feet and threw it into the fire. The wood slowly crackled and burned.
"Your stamina and speed are still lacking," Orochimaru commented blandly on Nawaki and Mikoto's shortcomings during the day.
"Speed and stamina are very important things for any ninja. In the coming days, I will guide you to learn some methods that are suitable for you."
"However, before you start learning, you also need to understand what methods can improve your speed," Orochimaru said while roasting a wild boar.
The wild boar's black skin slowly oozed a golden oil under the high temperature.
"There are many ways to increase speed. The first is high-speed movement using pure physical skills. This kind of high-speed movement is based on physical fitness. Therefore, you completely need to do physical training day after day."
Orochimaru sighed, "Some people can move quickly solely based on their physical skills. There are very few such people, and your teacher, Nishimura Shin, is an expert in this area."
Tatsumi showed a surprised expression.
He didn't expect that Uncle Nishimura, who seemed unreliable, was actually such a deeply hidden figure.
Even Orochimaru praised him, so it seems that Uncle Nishimura wasn't just bragging all the time.
But why is Teacher Nishimura still only a Chunin?
Could all of this be a facade? Teacher Nishimura seems very poor and can't even afford a house, and he's been rejected many times in matchmaking. Could all of this just be deliberately shown?
Tatsumi seemed to have discovered something.
Perhaps Uncle Nishimura's real identity is the Third Hokage's illegitimate son. Or he is actually some shadow-level powerhouse.
But he carries a deep blood feud and silently hides in a Konoha ninja school.
And he's also the kind of old man who's always ready to give the protagonist a golden finger and send equipment.
But why hasn't Teacher Nishimura approached him, Tatsumi, to talk about inheriting ninjutsu and billions of dollars?
Tatsumi touched his face. Could it be that I'm too outstanding?
Orochimaru didn't notice Tatsumi, who was wildly imagining things on the side.
He paused for a moment and continued, "Of course, besides the Body Flicker Technique using pure physical skills, the second type of Body Flicker Technique is to stimulate cells with chakra to activate them for high-speed movement."
"The most famous in this regard is the Yotsuki clan of the Land of Lightning. Each Raikage is a leader among them. They use Lightning Release to stimulate chakra to achieve high-speed movement."
"I remember, Tatsumi, you and Mikoto both possess Lightning Release, right?" Orochimaru turned his gaze to Tatsumi and Mikoto.
Mikoto nodded.
Tatsumi didn't answer Orochimaru, he was still wildly imagining Uncle Nishimura's background.
"..."
"There is also the Body Flicker Technique using ninjutsu. This kind of Body Flicker is the instantaneous movement of material replacement using various ninjutsu, but it requires hand seals."
"The most famous of this kind of ninjutsu is the leader of the Rain Country ninja village, sandwiched between several great powers.
Rain Ninja Village, Hanzō of the Salamander!" Orochimaru showed a yearning expression.
"His ghostly Body Flicker Technique, coupled with his unpredictable summoning beast... Although I haven't fought him, I've seen him take action, and I'm not his opponent at all. There's too much of a gap between us."
"Of course, the last type of Body Flicker Technique is the Second Hokage's Flying Thunder God Slash. This is a space-time ninjutsu. To this day, no one has been able to learn this move."
Orochimaru didn't mention Tatsumi's father, Kagami's, kind of Body Flicker. That kind of Body Flicker is a combination of several kinds of Body Flicker.
So, in essence, it is still within the scope of these kinds of Body Flicker.
Orochimaru continued to chat with Tatsumi and the others about various ninjutsu.
Once Orochimaru was involved in his own professional knowledge, Orochimaru's words became very numerous. Completely unlike a reclusive youth.
Orochimaru was a little tired from talking, and then stopped. He divided the roasted pig legs among Tatsumi and the three of them respectively.
The wild boar's exterior was already glistening with golden oil, and the aroma was rich.
"Eat quickly, you've been hungry all day," Orochimaru said gently in a hoarse voice.
Tatsumi widened his eyes. This is too gentle, isn't it? This kind of development is probably a fake Snake Uncle, right?
Orochimaru pointed to the campfire.
"This kind of campfire can only be lit in this kind of environment. If you go deep into another country, this kind of behavior is no different from courting death."
"Also, food. If your team goes on a long-term mission and gets trapped somewhere, and all the dry food is eaten, you can only go hunting yourself."
Orochimaru kept instilling in the three of them his experiences and precautions during his missions over the years.
These are all experiences summed up by predecessors, and they only need to accept them and apply them in actual combat.
"By the way, Snake Uncle, I just sensed traces of genjutsu around. What's going on?"
Orochimaru looked at Tatsumi with an admiring gaze, and then nodded.
"Your sensitivity to genjutsu is really high. That's right, I used chakra to set up some genjutsu around. In addition to this, there are also many traps."
"These all need to be set up in advance. This way, once an enemy comes, it will give us some warning. So that others don't touch us and we don't even know it."
After Orochimaru finished eating his grilled meat, he continued, "Tatsumi, I heard Tsunade talk about your genjutsu talent before."
"Your genjutsu is different from the genjutsu used by ordinary ninjas that I have seen. Their genjutsu doesn't have your power, and it's not as concealed. The most important thing is—"
"That's right. Many ordinary genjutsu in my hands don't need hand seals. And the power will be greatly improved." Tatsumi continued Orochimaru's words.
Tatsumi was also a little puzzled. His current hand seal level is very good. His hand seals are also very fast.
However, for many ninjutsu, he can only do single-handed hand seals at the limit.
However, he doesn't know why, but once genjutsu reaches his hands, he can release many of them without hand seals.
This is still the case when he hasn't opened the Sharingan. If he has the Sharingan, then his ability to release genjutsu will be terrifying.
He also asked his system, but the system didn't give him an answer.
So, he can only attribute this to his talent.
Who told him to be the father of Shisui, who is known as the strongest genjutsu user?
Orochimaru nodded and said nothing. Everyone has their own talents. Genius cannot be explained clearly in a single sentence.
Looking at Tatsumi, Mikoto, and Nawaki surrounding him, Orochimaru suddenly felt a strange feeling.
He seemed to see the scene many years ago when Teacher Hiruzen took himself, Tsunade, and that idiot Jiraiya out on a mission.
At that time, the few of them were just like now. They went on missions all the way, arguing and making noise. As time passed, the few of them were already ninjas who could stand alone.
He couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
"Teacher Hiruzen, did you feel this way when you took us out back then?"
