training and sparring?

"as I said, for Haoshoku you need a strong determination to never bend no matter who your opponents are and keep believing in what you believe, and from what I see Nara clan didn't have it, right?"

Shikamaru understood what Kaoru meant without thinking much and he didn't blame Kaoru for saying that.

"for the next two months, you will only learn about Haki, and maybe I will also teach you about evacuation later, for Karin I will train you in the physical department first before teaching you about Haki, understand?"

all of them nodded their head but only Shikamaru caught Kaoru's clue about evacuation, but he didn't want to think about it since it was too troublesome, he only needed to learn and use all his knowledge and power when it was needed.

and then Kaoru took all kinds of props for his training, and because he also bought healing facilities like white bone hell from Bleach, luckily he could buy it cheaply if he bought only some parts and not the entire Kirinden.

just by spending worth of points a week, he could get a good healing place, and since he has it now, his training will only grow stricter, even that heroic teacher will give her acknowledgment for Kaoru's method.

if you want power then you have to exceed your limit again and again, no matter how hard it is, or how dangerous it could be, the moment you exceed it you will be stronger at least on the mind side.

-----

and the time of two months passed in the blink of an eye.

the results make Kaoru very satisfied, Shikamaru already could use the basic level of Busoshoku and Kenbunshoku, Chouji is compatible with Busoshoku, and Ino's talent in Kenbunshoku is absolutely frightening.

her talent is maybe even greater than Ussop's, as expected from a girl who could control the telepathy of the entire alliance alone.

Karin is still in the learning phase, but what shocked Kaoru the most was that Karin could use the adamantine sealing chain.

Kaoru already found the best teacher for her but he needs to wait for that old man to die first since she is a wild card and Kaoru afraid that she will go crazy when she knows how her son's life.

as long as Hiruzen dies, then even if she goes crazy and wants to beat that old fossil Kaoru also could revive him with Edo Tensei and let her beat him to the ground since he is not Hokage anymore.

there is no specific information about her strength but Kaoru believes she is on Kage level, and the biggest problem is, that she is a sealing master and that is also what Kaoru worries about if she goes crazy and goes to Hiruzen when he is still the Hokage.

he also remembers his promise to Naruto that he will give him a present, that's why after he got an Edo Tensei from Orochimaru Kaoru immediately bought an improvisation for this Jutsu at a cheaper price since he already has the basic.

in these two months, he also tries to find white zetsu, but still can't find it and if he can't find it until Hiruzen dies then he doesn't have any option except buy it from the guild.

"Okay, it's been two months and the Third round of the Chunin exam will be held next week, I want you all to fight with everything you got and rest after that."

"Yes, Sensei!" the four of them answered together, even though Karin couldn't use Haki yet, her adamantine sealing chain was strong enough to let her compete with team 10 who only could a basic Haki.

"but this time your opponent will be me, so just do your best and survive!" for these two months Kaoru never fought and his hand was already thirsty for a good fight, and he knew that his students were strong enough.

if Chouji and Shikamaru fought against Jirobo and Tayuya like in the canon they would win easily and if they used the cursed mark from Orochimaru it would just increase the difficulty a little bit.

and when they hear that, team 10 becomes terrified, they still remember how strong and scary Kaoru is when fighting, only Karin who is clueless because she never sees how Kaoru fought.

"the battle begins in... 3 .... 2 ....1 ... now!" 

after the battle begins, Kaoru takes a distance and makes a hand seal.

"Suiton: Suidanha" Kaoru used the second Hokage's signature Jutsu, this jutsu lets the user spray a jet of water toward the opponent and slice through everything in front of its path.

unfortunately, Kaoru didn't have the same level of chakra pool as Tobirama and the power of this Jutsu became weaker tremendously.

looking at Kaoru using such Jutsu, Chouji chooses to take the front and use an Earth Jutsu since he is good at it "Doton: Doryuheki" Chouji makes a very high earth wall and Karin also uses her adamantine chain to give a bonus defense for the wall.

but what they didn't know is, that after Chouji used the earth wall, Kaoru disappeared and hid, he also didn't use his entire power in that water Jutsu, so even without Karin's chain that wall would not crumble.

after Chouji dispels the earth wall they can't find Kaoru's whereabouts, this time Shikamaru realizes that Kaoru only uses a distraction, and when they can't see because of the wall he immediately hides.

"Shit! Ino uses everything you have to find Sensei, Chouji is ready to block anything that will come, Karin supports Ino, don't let your guard down!" Shikamaru became panicked, he was afraid that Kaoru would go for killing, but not long after giving instructions to his teammates, all of them heard a chilling voice.

"Kokuangyo no Jutsu" and then their vision turns dark.

inside the darkness team, 10 scared shitless because they remember this is the Second Hokage's Jutsu and Kaoru copied a creature called Nargacuga's Hunting Method with this Jutsu.

Humans will panic inside darkness and it will be amplified when they see something that doesn't belong to humans, such as red eyes, or some strange flash, and when they lose their calm, human is nothing but walking food for beasts.

Kaoru also taught them that humans could be strong just because they could think, make, and use a weapon, without that thing, the apex predator would always owned by beasts and if they want to be strong there is nothing wrong with copying how the beasts hunt.

and this is also one of many applications of how beasts hunt on Jutsu, but when they become terrified Kaoru dispelled his Jutsu and gave a sermon to his disciples.

"Remember, never believe 100% what your opponent says or does, and always worry about your surroundings, some people will use a big Jutsu only to distraction, and maybe even use a mere word for distraction."

"if you guys are unlucky maybe you could meet someone like Itachi Uchiha who could put someone inside his Genjutsu just by looking at his eyes."

"Shikamaru, as a leader the biggest sin you could do is give instruction to your teammates while panicking I believe you know the reason why, next time I will train your mentality, do you understand?"

"Yes, Sensei!" Shikamaru also knows his mistake and agreed with Kaoru, in team 10 he is the acting leader whenever Kaoru is not present, and by becoming the first person to panic in battle he is a failure as a leader.

and after finished the sermon, Kaoru told them to take a rest, he allowed them to do anything, whether it was to shopping, eating or just sleeping.
