After whispering a few instructions into her ear, Ye Liang didn't say anything else.
By now, the Chunin had finished his ten throws.
They consisted of six four-ring throws, one five-ring throw, and three that didn't even hit the target.
This score was already extremely high!
In the original storyline, those fate-defying ninjas always seemed to hit the bullseye effortlessly, which looked impressive, but in reality, it was very difficult for an ordinary Chunin to consistently hit five rings each time, especially from a distance of a hundred meters!
"Sensei, can Rin really do this?" Kakashi asked.
Hitting ten times in a row from a hundred meters away?
Even Kakashi couldn't guarantee a 100% success rate from such a distance, let alone someone like Rin Nohara.
Yet the moment Rin hurled her first shuriken, shock rippled across the crowd!
"Five rings!"
"How is that possible!"
The Chunin watching nearby gasped in surprise.
To them, this girl who earlier couldn't even accurately hit a target from ten meters had just scored the highest mark possible from a hundred meters. It was simply unbelievable.
"It's okay, stay relaxed, keep going!" Ye Liang encouraged Rin Nohara.
"Huff... huff..." After taking a deep breath, Rin quickly threw another shuriken!
"Bang!"
Still five rings!
"How is that possible!"
This time, not only were the Chunin shocked, even Rin herself was stunned speechless!
"This was actually thrown by me!" She stared dumbfounded at her own hands, surprised that the method taught by her teacher had actually worked!
Ye Liang had told her to stand straight, feet together, body aligned, and eyes locked on the target.
This was a saying from dart-throwing techniques from his previous life!
In his past life, Ye Liang had played artistic darts, so he specially learned some accuracy techniques.
Of course, this alone wouldn't have made him so accurate, but don't forget—he was in a ninja world!
In this world, if you fixed your gaze directly on something while moving forward, your line of sight was guaranteed to be perfectly perpendicular.
Throwing shurikens was no different.
Before teaching Rin the dart-throwing technique, Ye Liang had specifically adapted it using fire-shadow world projectile skills.
Don't forget—he'd received the system's Advanced Weaponry Technique!
[Advanced Weaponry Technique]
This knowledge was typically reserved for Jonin-level ninja and far beyond what these Chunin could comprehend. Combined with the dart-throwing skill from his past life, Ye Liang's Shuriken Art wasn't just superior to regular Jonin—it could even rival elite Jonin!
After hitting the target, Rin quickly flung all her remaining shurikens.
Five landed as four rings, and five as five rings—exactly half and half!
Her score definitely surpassed that Chunin's—and by no small margin!
"Winner takes all! Move along!"
Seeing this result, the group of Chunin immediately raised their hands, preparing to leave, but Ye Liang, quick-witted and fast-acting, wouldn't let them off the hook so easily!
"You can walk away—but leave the cash behind!"
"You... you... you! Don't push too hard or my big sister will take revenge on you!"
"The money—now!"
Without uttering a word, the group turned around intending to flee—clearly trying to skip out on paying up—but Ye Liang was the king of all hustlers—the real OG. The modern-day gangsters were nothing compared to semi-professionals like this bunch!
After gently convincing the surrounding crowd to disperse, Ye Liang casually flicked the moneybag in his hand.
Although his hand was slightly sore, he still watched joyfully as those Chunin left.
"Kakashi, is your arm okay?" Ye Liang then thought to ask Kakashi.
"If you hadn't attacked my disciple first, I wouldn't have taken advantage like this," he mentally justified his demands.
"Arm?"
Kakashi stretched out his hand.
"That's right. This wound on you was burned by their Fire Release, right? Don't worry, let Rin heal it. It'll be fine in no time."
"Huh?" Kakashi gave him a completely bewildered look.
"Teacher, I accidentally scalded myself last night. If you don't believe me, touch it. It's already starting to scar."
"What?"
Ye Liang reached out and scratched at it, and the mark immediately flaked off.
It really had started scarring...
"It's fine, but you still need to let Rin heal it."
"Teacher, seriously, it's fine."
"Get her to heal it! What's with all the hesitation?" Ye Liang stressed firmly before leaving the training ground.
"Rin, do you think what's wrong with Teacher? It's just a minor wound, yet he insists you waste your chakra."
"I think maybe it's about my cultivation."
"How terrible of me! I misunderstood the teacher earlier. From now on, I'll definitely follow his teachings, cultivate diligently by myself, and become independent!"
"Uh..."
Seeing Nohara Rin's serious expression, Kakashi helplessly walked away.
Rin surprisingly actually believed the teacher's explanation!
Though Kakashi admired Ye Liang, such an obviously clumsy lie today certainly couldn't fool someone as intelligent as him.
Guess all girls are airheads no matter how smart they seem...
...
A few days later.
The weather was perfectly pleasant.
Since that training ground incident, Ye Liang hadn't encountered any other troubles.
This day, he was lying on a couch chatting with Anko.
"Hey! You've earned money too, so why haven't you moved out yet! Are you really that shameless!"
It was still that old topic. Ye Liang didn't even bother answering anymore.
He closed his eyes and recalled today's task.
"Have a good chat with Anko about life."
[Reward]: [Leaf Whirlwind]!
Simple and weak.
These daily tasks were like something straight out of an RPG – boring chores that needed completing every single day.
But naturally, the rewards weren't worth glancing at.
They were all low-level common techniques, and not one impressive one among them.
Ye Liang had already acquired countless low-level Ninjutsu skills, and many were even duplicates. Of course, if the system drew duplicates, they would strengthen the original ones, but overall, nothing stood out...
He recalled some important techniques again.
Flying Thunder God, Shinra Tensei – currently Ye Liang had mastered two S-rank techniques already, although acquiring them had cost him great effort.
Of course, who knows about Flying Thunder God...
Anyway, only difficult missions could yield powerful rewards. That principle never changed.
As for low-level techniques.
For basic techniques, Ye Liang mostly used Shifting Body Technique and Substitution Jutsu – classics every ninja mastered.
It's worth mentioning that when Ye Liang repeatedly obtained low-rank ninjutsu, he received a large number of Substitution Jutsu. In other words, his current mastery of the Substitution Jutsu has reached a godlike level.
When activating it, as long as he looks at something, he can instantly switch places with it. Even better, he doesn't need any chakra at all!
This kind of low-tier ninjutsu never required much chakra to begin with, and besides, it had been strengthened countless times.
Ye Liang flopped around on the bed for a bit, then suddenly thought of a special jutsu.
[Summoning Jutsu!]
As previously mentioned, the Summoning Jutsu is quite unique. The stronger you get, the more powerful your summoned creature becomes!
Plus, what you summon depends entirely on who you are.
Ye Liang was ready to try out the Summoning Jutsu.
"What if I summon something totally epic and outrageously powerful? That'd be pretty damn sweet!"
