Chapter 66: On Credit

"Teaching you is fine, but even if you learn one-handed seals, you still can't perform two ninjutsu at once!"

Dong Shilang didn't have any notion of treasuring his own broom; it was just simple seated meditation, and it's still unknown whether he can persevere.

You should know, practicing seated meditation without at least three months yields basically no effect; even if there's a slight effect, without a hermit technique dangling ahead to motivate him, he wouldn't know if he could persevere!

【He just agreed so simply?】

Beside them, whether it was Yuzhibo Chongzheng or Yuzhibo Yan, they all showed surprised expressions.

A ninja's training is highly private.

Even if they're from the same family, casually imparting this advanced one-handed seal technique is quite surprising.

"I tell you, I've discovered seated meditation..."

In the following time, Dong Shilang detailedly introduced to them the seated meditation method he had come up with.

And he earnestly recommended it to them.

"In short, if you follow my method and persist for three months, after three months you'll know the benefits!" Having finished explaining the detailed training steps, Dong Shilang said in a grandiose manner.

"Just sitting cross-legged simply, can you master one-handed seals?" →_→

All three present were filled with disbelief, wearing an expression as if saying, "Are you joking?"

You should know, a ninja's training mostly relies on chakra involvement. As for the training method Dong Shilang spoke of, let alone chakra; to them it's practically just the usual seated meditation of monks in temples.

Faced with the three men's doubtful gazes, Dong Shilang couldn't help but cry out in injustice. This is truly "I intended my heart to face the bright moon, but the moon shines into the gutter."

"Everything I say is true; if you don't believe me, feel free to give it a try. Besides wasting some time, there's no other loss!" Finally he was also helpless, only able to strike a pose of "believe it or not, if you don't believe then forget it".

【Looking at his expression, he seems serious!】

【Such a laughable training method, does it really work?】

【Or should I go back and try it? Nah, I don't want to become a monk in a temple!】

Whether it was Yuzhibo Chongzheng or Yan and Zhe, the three of them all looked at Dong Shilang with suspicion, each lost in thought.

"Dong Shilang's method likely has some effect, but it might also be inseparable from his own innate talent!"

As an experienced elite Jonin, Yuzhibo Chongzheng faintly felt that this method should have some effect. However, compared to this "seated meditation" training method, he believed that Dong Shilang's own talent was more outstanding.

He didn't realize that, for the Uchiha, this seated meditation training method does more than just calm the mind—it has a tremendous effect. His ambiguous, dismissive attitude also caused his two other disciples to give up training.

In the end, the four of them polished off ten adult servings of barbecue. Seeing Chongzheng teacher's slightly greenish face, whether it was Dong Shilang or Yan, both chuckled incessantly, wearing a schadenfreude expression. Only Zhe remained there, completely unaware.

At this moment, the financially strapped Chongzheng teacher was leaning on the counter, discussing something with Da Gui Da Shu. However, seeing Da Gui Da Shu's playful expression and Chongzheng teacher's dejected appearance, one could tell he had definitely been mocked by Da Gui Da Shu.

Fortunately, there was no scene of the teacher being left in the shop to wash dishes to offset debt. After all, everyone's from the same family; you don't see each other when you raise your head or lower it—on credit, as long as you speak nicely. Lower your stance a bit more, and there's still a chance!

While they were discussing this "seated meditation" training method, inside the Third Hokage's office. A masked Dark Division figure suddenly appeared before him, half-kneeling on one knee, and handed him a document.

Having received these documents, without him even speaking, that figure had already vanished into hiding.

Flipping through the documents one by one, the Third Hokage let out a silent sigh, then lifted his gaze to the photo of the Second Hokage on the wall.

Only see that this stack of documents totals about twenty sheets, and the very top sheet happens to bear the image of Yuzhibo Dongshilang. It also meticulously records his eight ninja attributes: ninjutsu, body, genjutsu, intellect (wisdom), strength, speed, essence, and seal.

The owners of these documents all share the surname Uchiha; these are the personal files of all Uchiha genin who graduated this year.

This had already been started before he assumed office.

Each year, every Uchiha member who graduates from the Ninja Academy has a separate file created for them, collecting their information. This practice, since the establishment of this system, has never ceased.

But after all, it's covert observation, unable to be carried out openly. Therefore this data collection isn't very comprehensive. Take Dong Shilang, for example: the most outstanding aspect recorded is his Fire Release power. As for one-handed seals, not a word is mentioned.

Leaf Village's detection barrier, although it envelops the whole village, enables him to use telescope technique to observe most of the village's areas. However, whether it's the Uchiha, Hyuga, or even the Yamanaka, Yuhi, etc. clans, none fall under the coverage of his telescope technique.

That's unavoidable, after all the village can't monitor every clan's movements. And the Uchiha are merely an exception. By using Leaf Village Prison, built conveniently within their territory, the Dark Division can observe far away through the telescope.

Some omissions are also inevitable.

This is also why Dong Shilang dares to display his full strength within the clan's training grounds. As for seated meditation being discovered, he isn't afraid. The Hokage isn't idle enough to, at six or seven in the morning, use telescope technique to observe the entire Leaf Village, even his remote seated meditation spot.

"The power of Fire Release is enormous, far surpassing that of an average Chunin!" After carefully examining the entire stack of documents, the Third Hokage looked at Yuzhibo Dongshilang's silhouette and muttered to himself. There were also evaluations from the various subject teachers at the Ninja Academy; whether it was ninjutsu, body, genjutsu, or theoretical knowledge, they all gave him extremely high praise.

"Yuzhibo Dongshilang, I hope you are also a Uchiha who inherits the Will of Fire!"

He didn't pay too much attention to Dong Shilang, after all he is the Hokage, commanding over ten thousand ninjas. He's merely an eight-year-old genin; although excellent, it's nothing special, not worth wasting more of his energy.

Immediately, he then filed these documents into a dedicated cabinet, and then turned back to face the sea of documents and the tangled situation of the ninja world.
