The legacy of the Naruto World was a teacher-student relationship, not a teacher-student relationship. Otherwise, the seniority would be messed up.
Since Lu Yi had promised to teach Rope Tree, he naturally couldn't make empty promises. There had to be something substantial.
This was his first time teaching someone!
"Rope Tree, show me your chakra control ability first.”
"How do I show it?"
"Didn't Orochimaru teach you this? " It's very simple," Lu Yi pointed to a tall tree not far away and said," Don't use your hands. Climb up that tree.”
"This is simple! Teacher Orochimaru has already taught me this.”As the Thousand-handed Rope Tree spoke, it ran to the tree and easily climbed up to the top of the tree.
"Not bad! As expected of a member of the Thousand Hands Clan." Lu Yi praised.
After the Thousand-handed Rope Tree came down, it ran to Lu Yi and said,"Is there anything else you want me to show you? I'll show you. But you have to teach me your Blink.”
It turned out that he had taken a fancy to the Blood Shadow Steps.
"Then try treading water again."
"What treading water?"
"Just stand on the surface of the water and not sink.”
"How is this possible? The water was not like a tree trunk. It was liquid, so how could it stand?”The Thousand-handed Rope Tree questioned.
"How would we know if we don't try?"
Lu Yi chose this place because there was a lake here. The Thousand-Handed Rope Tree went to try, and as expected, it fell into the water.
"Pfft! " Hey, I say…" The Thousand-handed Rope Tree reached out of the water and spat out the lake water. Just as he was about to curse, he opened his eyes and saw two legs standing in front of him. Stand? But this was in the water!
When he raised his head, the Thousand-handed Rope Tree was surprised to find that Lu Yi was actually standing steadily on the surface of the water as if he was walking on flat ground.
"If you can't do this, you won't be able to learn my Instant Movement Technique," said Lu Yi. Practice well!"
The Thousand-handed Rope Tree's fighting spirit was aroused. He was older than Lu Yi by two years and was also a direct descendant of the Thousand Hands Clan. He was the grandson of the first generation Naruto. He definitely could not be looked down upon!
The Thousand-handed Rope Tree was still very persistent. His repeated failures did not make him lose his fighting spirit, and he continued to practice.
The Thousand-handed Rope Tree was practicing treading water, while Lu Yi was practicing his sword skills at the side. Although he had created the Ten Extremes Swordplay by himself and was already familiar with it, as the saying goes, cultivation was like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will fall back. He didn't want to put himself in danger one day because of his sudden unfamiliarity.
The next day, Orochimaru came over. When he saw the Thousand-handed Rope Tree, he understood what he was doing. He said to Lu Yi,""You're training Rope Tree's chakra control ability, right?”
"Yeah," Lu Yi said. But I say, why didn't you, a proper teacher, teach him this? Otherwise, I can save myself a lot of trouble."
"Not everyone can have such a temperament at your age," Orochimaru said. Rope Tree was still young, and his mind was unstable. He could not concentrate. There was no need to practice treading water now. Rope Tree had just graduated. It would be better to teach him when he experienced the life of a ninja.”
"That makes sense."
"But since you're already teaching him, it saves me a lot of effort.”
"Your grandpa!" Lu Yi rolled his eyes and said," What about you? You can't be here to see how I teach your students, right?”
"Of course not." Orochimaru said," I said before that I had a question to ask you, but after that, you went into seclusion for more than a month and delayed it. This time, I naturally came to look for you in hopes of answering it.”
Lu Yi thought for a moment. Orochimaru seemed to have said this before, so he said,"Alright, but I can't guarantee that I can answer your question.”
"I trust you."
Where did the confidence come from?
Then, Orochimaru voiced his doubts. Lu Yi was very surprised when he heard it. Orochimaru was actually asking him about the lifespan of the soul. This was the inspiration he suddenly had after seeing the reincarnation of Filthy Earth.
Could it be that Orochimaru had already begun researching the art of immortality?
"Then let me tell you my understanding." Lu Yi asked.”
"I'm all ears!"
"No matter which world you are in, even if the structure of your body is different, your soul is definitely the same. Everyone's soul was made up of the three souls of heaven, earth, and man. The Heavenly Soul was in charge of intelligence, the Earth Soul was in charge of shame, and the Human Soul was in charge of boldness and vitality. The lifespan of a human soul was very long, perhaps ten thousand years, but the lifespan of a physical body was very short, only a hundred years. This was the rule set by the heavens when they created every living being.”
Orochimaru's eyes flashed as he said,""A soul with a lifespan of ten thousand years, if it changes its body before its physical body dies, wouldn't it be able to live forever?”
"It's not that simple." Lu Yi shook his head. Even if you wanted to change your body, where would you find the materials? Seize by force? Or to make others willingly contribute? Even if you find a good body, what are you going to do? If you directly fuse with a living body, you will be considered an invader, and the other party's soul will reject and resist. If you choose to kill them before fusing them, that would be even more unacceptable. After death, life energy would dissipate and death energy would breed. The death aura is even more harmful to the soul."
“……”
"That is to say, no matter what you do, your soul will be damaged. At that time, your spiritual resistance will become very weak. Perhaps anyone can use a C-class illusion to take care of you!”
"Is there no other way?" Orochimaru said unwillingly.”
"Yes!"
"What is it?" Orochimaru asked anxiously.”
"You can either evolve your soul. Once your soul transforms, your body will also change. At that time, your lifespan will naturally be extended. The second method was to modify his body and increase the lifespan of his cells. Plants only had human souls, but they could live for thousands of years because the metabolism of plant cells was slower than that of animals, and the number of divisions was much higher than that of animals.”
Orochimaru fell into deep thought after hearing this. What Lu Yi said was just his theory and had not been tested in practice at all. However, it sounded reasonable and highly feasible. This made Orochimaru question his previous thoughts.
Lu Yi thought to himself, I hope Orochimaru won't go down the old path.”
At this moment, Thousand-handed Rope Tree stopped his training and walked over to Orochimaru.""Teacher Orochimaru." Then he asked curiously,"Teacher Orochimaru, what are you talking about with Lu Yi?"?”
Actually, he was curious about Orochimaru's behavior when he was listening to Lu Yi's lecture like a student. In his heart, Orochimaru was the smartest person in Koba. But now, Mu Ye's smartest person was actually listening to Lu Yi's lecture! He couldn't help but feel strange.
Orochimaru glanced at Lu Yi, who said,""I was betting with your teacher on how many days it would take you to learn how to tread water. I think you need ten days. Your teacher said you only need seven days.”
The Thousand-handed Rope Tree's competitive spirit was immediately aroused. He said loudly,"Three days! I only need three days to learn it!”
"Why are you showing it to me? You didn't learn it for me."
"You…Hmph! Just you wait! I will definitely learn how to tread water in three days!”After saying yes, the Thousand-handed Rope Tree returned to the river indignantly to continue his practice of treading water. As for the question just now, he had long thrown it to the back of his mind.
"You're goading me!" Orochimaru laughed.”
"He's just a child!" Lu Yi said. He was just competitive and could not stand the provocation. However, this would also allow him to concentrate better. It was also a good idea!”
"Hehehe! Lu Yi, you are two years younger than Rope Tree!”
"Um…"
"Alright, I've got the answer I wanted, so I won't disturb you anymore.”Orochimaru said as he got up to leave.
"Hey, hey, hey! You're his official teacher!”
"Hahaha! Good luck!"
Lu Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.”
Although Thousand Hands Rope had vowed to learn how to tread water in three days, Orochimaru's words were proven to be reasonable. Unless one was a true genius, it was very difficult for a seven or eight-year-old child to concentrate on one thing. Sometimes, it wasn't that he wanted to be distracted, but that he naturally lost his focus.
This had a huge impact on cultivation.
Thousand-handed Rope Tree didn't fulfill his promise of learning how to tread water in three days, but it was still one day shorter than Orochimaru's seven days.
When he was finally able to walk on the water surface as if it was flat ground, he looked at Lu Yi with a smug expression and said,""How is it? I said I will definitely learn it!”
"No one said you can't learn it!" Lu Yi deliberately said. But I remember someone saying that he had to learn it in three days! Who was it?"
The Thousand-handed Rope Tree looked embarrassed and said proudly,"Anyway, I've learned it. Shouldn't you teach me your Instant Movement Technique?”
"Don't worry, learning how to tread water is only the first stage. There's still the second stage and the third stage.”
"Are you trying to trick me?" The Thousand-handed Rope Tree questioned.”
Lu Yi spread his hands and said indifferently,"Then you can choose not to learn! If you don't want to learn, you can leave now!”
"Humph! What was the second stage? Tell me!"
"No rush! The second stage of cultivation will officially begin tomorrow. You should go back and have a good rest. You'll be tired tomorrow."
The next day, when Lu Yi arrived at the cultivation ground, he found the Thousand-handed Rope Tree already waiting there.
When the Thousand-handed Rope Tree saw Lu Yi, he complained,""You're so slow! Then hurry up and teach me the second stage of cultivation!”
"Since you are in such a hurry, go and stand on the water.”
The Thousand-handed Rope Tree obediently walked to the surface of the water.
"Do a few somersaults."
"Fine!"
The soles of the feet were the weakest part of the chakra's control, while the hands were the exact opposite, the strongest part of the chakra's control. Therefore, when the Thousand-handed Rope Tree could stand on the water surface with both feet, somersaulting was not a problem.
However, when the Thousand-Handed Rope Tree somersaulted twice and was halfway through the third somersault, a shuriken slid across his face and shot into the water, causing a splash and hitting his face.
The Thousand-handed Rope Tree was shocked. The chakra in his hand was instantly thrown into chaos, and he fell into the water.
