Naruto: Shadow Master of Nara Clan

Chapter 141: The Devil Instructor (Part 2)

Back when Koshino was training under Guy, he relied on weighted training, gaining a Taijutsu training acceleration buff from the app. 

Besides the app's buff for speeding up Taijutsu training, Koshino persevered with weighted training, only removing the weights for bathing, combat, or missions. 

He discovered numerous benefits from this method.

What is the foundation of Taijutsu? it's two things: strength and speed!

Without the combination of strength and speed, no matter how profound your understanding of Taijutsu is, you can't unleash its true power.

By sticking to weighted training, Koshino could clearly feel an increase in his strength and speed.

This is why Koshino could persist with weighted training, now able to follow Might Dai's so-called "foolish" method to carry out transport tasks within the Konoha camp.

However, Koshino's usual weighted training differs somewhat from Might Dai's "foolish" method.

In terms of weight, Koshino chooses the maximum he can bear. After all, if the weight is too heavy, it can have negative effects.

Among these negative effects, hindering Koshino's physical growth is just one aspect. 

Others include potential hidden injuries during training or permanent internal damage, which are reasons Koshino insists on reasonable weighted training.

But what about Might Dai's "foolish" method?

Not only does it far exceed one's limits in terms of weight, but it also involves training without using chakra, which is sheer madness! Previously, even when Koshino did weighted training, he needed chakra support.

Otherwise, even with a 20KG weight, let alone 10KG, Koshino couldn't endure it for long.

However, watching Might Dai and Guy engage in this insane weighted training to complete the transport task, Koshino feels that Might Dai's training might actually be effective and could be the foundational training for the Eight Gates. 

On the other hand, Koshino chooses to trust Might Dai, the creator of the forbidden Eight Gates technique, and grits his teeth to persist in training.

Carrying a 20KG weight and 50KG of war supplies without using chakra, Koshino finds every step difficult.

Just moving from the war supplies storage to the Konoha camp gate, Koshino already feels like giving up.

It's not that Koshino lacks perseverance or determination; it's just that as soon as he steps out of the Konoha camp, he feels multiple muscle strains!

"Damn, exceeding my body's limits with weighted training is causing too much damage!"

"If this training proves effective, fine. But if not, this insane training will only increase my hidden injuries, eventually affecting my strength!"

"Should I trust Might Dai or use chakra?"

"Using chakra, even with this crazy training, would be easier, and I'd accumulate fewer hidden injuries."

"But if this insane training is indeed the foundation for the Eight Gates..."

"If I give up, wouldn't I lose the chance to train in the Eight Gates?"

"The Eight Gates..."

"That's the Eight Gates!"

Just as Koshino is about to give up, recalling the original story's depiction of the Eight Gates' power, he bites his lip, tasting the metallic tang of blood, takes a deep breath, and continues training like a madman! 

Ignoring the astonished, almost monstrous looks from the surrounding Konoha ninjas.

He pays no mind to how many hidden injuries he's accumulating from this overburdened training.

With gritted teeth, Koshino truly takes one step at a time, sweating profusely, catching up with Might Dai, Guy, and others, moving towards the former Mist Ninja's first line of defense.

Just like that, a kilometer passed, and Koshino's Anbu uniform was already soaked, as if he had been pulled out of water.

Two kilometers passed, and Koshino's hands and feet were trembling. A slight misstep could cause him to collapse under the weight of the war supplies he was carrying, leading to an accident!

Three kilometers passed, and Koshino's mind began to blur, a sign that his body was reaching its limit!

But just as Koshino was trudging forward, his eyelids growing heavier and the war supplies on his back feeling increasingly burdensome, on the verge of fainting at any moment, suddenly the figures of Genma Shiranui and Ebisu pushing a cart came into his view.

Immediately, it was as if Koshino experienced a sudden burst of energy, his exhaustion vanishing in an instant. He quickened his pace to catch up with Genma Shiranui and Ebisu!

"Genma, Ebisu, talk to me!"

"I'm afraid... I'm afraid I really can't hold on any longer!"

"Koshino, if you can't hold on, just put down the load! There's no need to follow Captain Dai's orders!"

"Koshino, let me help you!"

When had Genma Shiranui and Ebisu ever seen Koshino in such a weakened state? 

Seeing him so miserable, like a ghost returning from hell under Might Duy's special training, Genma Shiranui and Ebisu felt a pang of sympathy and were about to step forward to help Koshino.

Unexpectedly, without letting the two help, Koshino, while silently conversing with them to distract himself, continued to take one step at a time, gritting his teeth to bear the weight of his body. 

He truly followed Might Duy's every instruction, carrying a total of five boxes of war supplies, and reached the first line of defense of the original Mist Ninja!

"Exhausted to death!"

"Thud!"

Just as he reached the first line of defense, with the help of Genma Shiranui and Ebisu, Koshino gently set down the war supplies.

As the heavy war supplies were put down, Koshino gasped for air, feeling as if he had returned from hell to heaven.

But just as Koshino was panting heavily, and as his breathing gradually calmed, drinking a little water to restore his strength, Might Duy, who had arrived early, came over with Guy to Koshino, Genma Shiranui, and Ebisu. 

Ignoring their exhaustion, he directly said, "Good, the first round of transport is complete. Now let's proceed with the second round!"

"The power of youth drives us forward!"

"Let's go!"

"Again?"

Hearing Might Duy's command, Guy nodded vigorously, while Genma Shiranui and Ebisu exclaimed in disbelief, clearly unable to believe that their task wasn't over yet.

To be fair, a normal transport mission would only require bringing a few boxes of war supplies.

After all, constructing the first line of defense for the original Mist Ninja wasn't something that could be completed in a day.

A regular team only needed to bring a few boxes of war supplies to maintain the basic needs of this line of defense. 

There was no need for a team like Koshino's, with five people transporting nearly thirty boxes of supplies, to still need to go for another round.

However, Genma Shiranui and Ebisu's exclamations did not receive a response from Might Duy.

In fact, as Genma Shiranui and Ebisu stared at Might Duy with questioning eyes, the usually amiable Might Duy directly ignored their exclamations, walking straight towards Koshino. 

With the stern gaze of a devil instructor, he looked at the utterly exhausted Koshino, who seemed to have no strength left, and coldly instructed:

"Koshino, for the next round of transport, you will add another rule, just like Guy and me!"
