Sosuke had short brown hair and wore a long white robe, with a gentle smile on his face.
Roshi had a feeling that even if no one told him this was Sosuke, he could still recognize him.
It wasn't about appearance; it was mainly that Sosuke had a certain aura. Roshi found it hard to describe this aura, but he felt it should be the aura of a Ninja Master.
As Mokgetsu walked to the platform, the separated crowd merged again.
"However, in this environment, what if it rains?"
Shifting his gaze away from Sosuke, Roshi looked at the light gray clouds covering the sun.
Having no seats didn't bother him, but giving a lecture outdoors in the Land of Rain, based on Roshi's experiences these days, could easily turn into getting drenched.
"Hello everyone, I am Sosuke, and once again I'll be giving the lecture for you all," Mokgetsu said with a smile as he glanced at the crowd.
Hearing Sosuke's voice, Roshi turned his gaze back to Sosuke.
Compared to him, a foreigner, Sosuke should know more about the weather in the Land of Rain.
"There are still ten minutes before the official start of the lecture. In this time, I will randomly select a ninja who can ask me a question about their cultivation," Mokgetsu said after confirming everything was in order.
He would not start the lecture early, but Mokgetsu didn't mind offering a small benefit to those who arrived early.
The ninjas in the audience brightened up, feeling that getting up early was worth it.
This was a one-on-one answer service from a Ninja Master, something money couldn't necessarily buy.
Mokgetsu casually pointed to a Rain Village ninja, and then signaled for the other ninjas to quiet down for a moment.
"Me?" The Rain Village ninja pointed at was surprised to be the lucky one.
He thought the chosen one was the Grass Ninja next to him. After all, even though their Rain Village was allied with the Ninja Sect, they rarely interacted, and the relationship was somewhat awkward.
When Mokgetsu used a gentle airflow to touch him, the Rain Ninja confirmed it was indeed him who was chosen.
The Rain Ninja instinctively looked at Hanzo, who was positioned ahead of him.
At his angle, all he could see was the side of Hanzo's face. Seeing no change in Hanzo's expression, the Rain Ninja felt relieved and asked:
"Could you explain some techniques for Water Attribute Chakra Form Transformation? It's said that Water Release is suitable for Form Transformation, but I always encounter issues with unstable forms."
"In performing Form Transformations with Chakra, you cannot completely disregard the Nature Transformations of Chakra. Different natures of Chakra cannot use the same method for Form Transformation."
Mokgetsu first explained the reason and then demonstrated three different Chakra Form Transformations of different attributes.
The Rain Ninja repeatedly thanked him after listening, and the other ninjas practicing Water Release also showed contemplative expressions.
Next, Mokgetsu selected a Hidden Rock Ninja to resolve their doubts.
The majority of Hidden Rock ninjas practiced Earth Release, so this time Mokgetsu used Earth Attribute Chakra Nature Changes to answer their question.
The third ninja called upon was a Grass Ninja practicing Fire Release.
Mokgetsu did randomly name a ninja, but it wasn't entirely unordered. He limited the selection by Chakra Attributes, calling upon one person from each type, allowing all ninjas attending the lecture to benefit.
Form Transformation and Nature Transformation are the cornerstones of the Chakra system. Ninjas like Might Guy, who practice only Taijutsu, are incredibly rare.
Initially, no one noticed this until the fourth ninja with a different attribute came forward. They realized each chosen ninja practiced different attribute Ninjutsu.
Many ninjas admired him in their hearts, thinking highly of Ninja Master Sosuke, considering even the random selection of names so thoroughly.
Some were curious about how Sosuke accurately selected ninjas from different attribute backgrounds.
Even though most Hidden Rock ninjas practiced Earth Release, there were those who practiced other Ninjutsu. If he happened to select a Fire Release practitioner from Hidden Rock, wouldn't that be awkward?
"Truly worthy of the name," Roshi thought to himself.
In just ten minutes of clearing doubts, Sosuke's Ninjutsu teaching prowess was fully revealed, and what Roshi admired most was Sosuke's pleasantly effective method of handling.
If Sosuke had started the lecture early due to most people arriving early, it would have been unfair to those who arrived just on time.
Since the lecture time was set by Sosuke and they were not late, missing part of the lecture content would be unfair to them.
This extracurricular expansion solved that issue, benefiting those who arrived early without affecting the official lecture.
Moreover, Sosuke's claim of random selection was genuine. Among the five chosen ninjas, there were those from Great Ninja Villages, Small Ninja Villages, and even wandering ninjas.
"Please quiet down, we're about to start the lecture officially. This morning, we'll mainly cover Fire and Wind Chakra Nature Changes," Mokgetsu said with a light cough as the class time approached.
The once lively chatter among the crowd quickly subsided until it was silent.
Among these thousands of ninjas, most had attended the first unrestricted lecture and knew the rules, cherishing this opportunity. Those unfamiliar with the rules wouldn't dare make a noise in such an environment.
Rumble!
Suddenly, a huge clap of thunder echoed, and the blinding white lightning illuminated the clouds.
Drip.
Soon after, raindrops began to fall from the sky.
Rainfall was a common occurrence in the Land of Rain, just as the Land of Fire wouldn't rain flames, but the Land of Rain genuinely experienced frequent rainfall.
Many ninjas looked at Sosuke, silently waiting for him to speak.
The last time for an unrestricted lecture, such a situation did not occur, although it was not a whole week of sunny days, there had never been rain during the lecture.
If it were ordinary people, they might hurriedly run home seeing the sudden heavy rain.
But the ones present were ninjas; some had undergone various rigorous training, and some had carried out life-threatening missions. Such sudden occurrences were merely minor issues for them.
Roshi also curiously looked at Sosuke.
Although it's not a big problem for ninjas to get a little wet in the rain, he thought Sosuke would not let everyone get rained on while listening to the lecture.
Mokgetsu glanced up at the sky, silently switched from Breath of Rock to Breath of Wind, and concentrated his breathing to enter the Breath of Wind Chakra Mode.
He never scheduled classes based on weather, because no matter how heavy the rain, he had ways to resolve it.
Woosh!
Mokgetsu burst forth with chakra, leaping up suddenly, accompanied by the gusts of wind that came with the torrential rain, making his white robe flap wildly.
Immediately after, Mokgetsu formed hand seals in mid-air, completing three seals at an extremely fast speed.
Normally, he didn't need to form hand seals, but to make it less likely for his two identities, Habu Mokgetsu and Sosuke, to be discovered, Mokgetsu usually pretended to form hand seals.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Hurricane Dragon!"
After Mokgetsu finished the Dragon Seal, he instantly spewed out the Wind Attribute Chakra, which had already completed nature transformation within his body.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!
A storm white dragon was spat out by Mokgetsu, the terrifying hurricane swept through the venue, and the ninjas on the ground had to use chakra to remain standing and not be blown away.
Roar!
A fierce roar resounded, and the storm white dragon rushed into the dark clouds.
The next moment, a gap appeared in the dark clouds.
The sunlight of the Blazing Sun shone through the gap onto the descending Mokgetsu, drawing all eyes in the audience solely onto him.
Immediately afterward, there was another thunderous noise in the sky, and the ninjas standing on the ground suddenly felt the world's brightness increase by several levels.
They looked up at the sky again, only to see the Blazing Sun hanging high while the dark clouds had disappeared without a trace.
"Continue the lecture; this morning, I will mainly talk about the nature transformation of Fire and Wind Chakra." Mokgetsu said with a calm smile on his face after landing, as if nothing had happened just now.
Although Mokgetsu merely reiterated what he had said before, the Wind Release ninjas present all looked at Mokgetsu eagerly.
They weren't sure about the strength of the Fire Dragon Dance, but the Wind Release just now was truly strong; they were so far apart, yet it affected them on the ground.
"He actually mastered such a powerful Wind Release Ninjutsu!" Hanzo's expression remained unchanged on the surface, but he was incredibly astonished internally.
Although Hanzo himself didn't practice much Wind Release, he had fought against masters specializing in Wind Release.
This Wind Release by Sosuke, in terms of range and power, is the most Sosuke had seen among Wind Release ninjas.
Hanzo really didn't understand how Sosuke did it, did Sosuke have 100 hours in a day?
Clearly looking at most in his twenties or thirties, yet mastering seven Chakra nature transformations, and none of them low-level; the high-level ones were truly sky-high.
"Is Fire Release really the ninjutsu he's best at?" Hanzo wondered inside.
Previously he was firmly convinced of this, after all, this was the terrifying Fire Release capable of suppressing his Water Release despite the restraining condition.
Now Hanzo really couldn't be 100% sure; the Wind Release Sosuke just demonstrated didn't seem as strong as the Fire Dragon Dance to him, but who could guarantee Sosuke used his full strength?
That wasn't a battle, just dispersing rain clouds.
Hanzo didn't continue to think about it; if the fact was just as he thought, then it would be too terrifying.
Soon, everyone was immersed in the course without any other distracting thoughts.
When it reached the midday break, Roshi felt it was not enough, his mind full of the course content taught by Sosuke.
"If I had such a teacher teaching me since I was young, I'd be at least twice as strong as I am now." Roshi sighed inwardly.
He didn't know Wind Release, but he did practice Fire Release.
His strongest combat method, Lava Release, is a mix of Fire and Earth Attribute Chakra, resulting in a Kekkei Genkai.
"Indeed very skilled, I find it quite interesting." The Four-tails agreed.
The Four-tails naturally mastered Lava Release, hadn't practiced any ninjutsu, after attending Mokgetsu's class, even he had some thoughts about trying a Fire Release for fun.
