Chapter 9: Special Teacher

"Hoohoo!"

On the back mountain of Konoha, Minato was lying on the ground, short of breath, with intense chakra consumption.

Today he did not do basic exercises but instead practiced high-speed movement exercises. This method was something he had explored himself in his training; it was not a technique taught to him by anyone.

His eyelids gradually became heavy. In his sleep, what he couldn't get out of his mind was still the woman with long red hair. Her face was turned sideways, and her figure was extremely blurred.

The only thing that stood out was the red hair.

"Don't leave me!"

In the quiet mountain forest, Minato suddenly stood up and shouted. He felt the corners of his eyes moist, wiped them with his fingertips, and gently touched his fingertips with the tip of his tongue.

The taste was extremely bitter and salty. Only then did he realize that he had cried.

"What's wrong with me?"

Minato muttered to himself. He didn't even know what he had dreamed about; he just felt a dull ache in his heart.

Tears flowed down unconsciously.

Passing his palms through his bangs and covering his forehead, Minato needed to calm himself down. As a ninja, he must keep a clear head no matter when and where.

But he found that he couldn't do it at all. This strange feeling was lingering, coming from his heart, and was irresistible.

"Could it be related to Kushina?"

Minato speculated that the red hair in his dream was exactly the same color as Kushina's, but the woman in his dream was much older than Kushina.

He recalled his abnormal state today, and from time to time, the red-haired woman would pop up in his mind, and then he went crazy because of Kushina. There must be some kind of connection between the two.

Unfortunately, his knowledge today is too limited to explain how all this is connected.

Immediately, he stopped thinking about it and began to check his body, which shocked him again.

Although his chakra volume did not increase as much as last night, more than half of his depleted chakra had recovered.

Minato was dumbfounded. If it were before, he would need at least several hours of meditation, or even longer, to restore his chakra to this level.

However, he had just taken a nap, and the recovery of chakra was equivalent to several hours of meditation.

This kind of recovery speed and method—don't say that his current chakra is only at the level of a low-level ninja, even if he were a high-level ninja, it would be impossible.

This has nothing to do with training, and Minato could conclude that his body must have changed since the sudden increase in the amount of chakra last night.

In the world of ninjas, some ninjas are endowed with extraordinary talents. They have hidden powers that are different from ordinary people since birth, such as Konoha's Hyuga and the Uchiha clan. They have dojutsu that ordinary people cannot match.

In addition to dojutsu, there are many such examples in the ninja world, which are called the Bloodline Limit.

For ninjas who have the Bloodline Limit, the power of the Bloodline Limit will suddenly be awakened due to certain external conditions, resulting in a surge in strength.

Minato didn't know if he belonged to this situation now. His parents were both civilians, not ninjas, and they didn't come from any famous family.

Minato decided to hide this matter for the time being. After all, the time was too short, so he needed to observe for a while.

Thinking of this, he slowly got up and turned around.

Swish!

Chakra gathered in his legs, then exploded suddenly, and Minato's figure turned into an afterimage. With his long yellow hair, it looked like a yellow flash.

He stopped very steadily at the previous position more than ten meters away. He looked sideways behind him, a smile slowly appearing on his face.

Minato had gradually adapted to his sudden increase in power, and today, he was more comfortable with this high-speed movement method, and the consumption of chakra was much smaller.

At this time, if a ninja from Konoha were here, they would be surprised.

Because Minato had comprehended this high-speed movement method himself, which was beyond the level of a Genin's control.

This is the Body Flicker Jutsu!

In the following days, the figure of the red-haired woman would still appear in Minato's mind from time to time, and every time, it seemed to be related to Kushina.

After that day's incident, the relationship between the two gradually became closer. Of course, Mikoto's matchmaking was indispensable, and Akasaka Yu, who was injured by Minato, hadn't come to the ninja school for several days.

Although Minato didn't say anything, he knew very well that his overall power was definitely not inferior to that of a real ninja. Akasaka Yu suffered a blow from his extreme anger, and he wouldn't heal so quickly.

During this week's study, Kushina's characteristics gradually revealed themselves: she was not good at theoretical courses at all, and she couldn't even remember the most basic chakra essence.

But this did not mean that she had no talent. On the contrary, Kushina's chakra was condensed very smoothly. Not only that, but her physical strength was extraordinary.

Freshmen in the ninja school, in addition to the condensed study of theory and chakra, also need to exercise their physical strength from time to time and do some regular physical training.

Most of the students in the class complained, but Kushina looked completely untired. Her physical strength and endurance were beyond ordinary people. Even Mikoto, who came from a famous family, and Minato, who had the level of a ninja, were secretly amazed.

Every day after school, Minato would always notice people lurking in the dark beside Kushina, but he never followed because he knew that those people existed to protect Kushina.

Although he had guesses about Kushina's identity, he knew that it was not within his reach.

As long as he could see Kushina at school every day, he was already very happy.

A week later, Akasaka Yu finally appeared in the class. Minato quickly apologized to him, but Akasaka Yu looked at him with vicious eyes.

"Namikaze Minato, the matter between you and me is not over!" Akasaka Yu said viciously, but he did not attack Minato, because he knew well that he would not be his opponent.

In the early morning, Shirota-sensei walked into a slightly noisy class.

Seeing his arrival, the students returned to their seats very quickly.

He paused for a moment, giving Minato a vague look, then retracted his gaze and said, "Students, our curriculum has been temporarily changed today. A special teacher will come to the ninja school to teach you."

When Shirota-sensei said this, his expression was slightly turbulent.

However, these unsuspecting students didn't seem to have any interest. For them, whoever came to class might be a kind of torture.

However, Shirota-sensei's next words changed the atmosphere of the entire class, and surprise appeared on those immature faces.

"Today's special teacher is a direct disciple of the Third Hokage-sama!"
