Actually, this couldn't be entirely blamed on Kōmei Uzumaki.
After all, he had been soaking in the medicinal liquid for over half a month, and the energy within that liquid was incredibly potent.
Although it would be completely exhausted by the weighted run the next day.
A considerable amount of medicinal power still accumulated inside his body.
Therefore... it was understandable.
Furthermore, this was the main reason why the subsequent training had to be conducted in the deep sea.
The immense pressure of the deep sea could temper every cell and fully squeeze out the residual medicinal power within the body.
After explaining all the precautions.
Might Duy also instructed everyone to take off their weighted wristbands.
At first, everyone was very surprised. Were they finally liberated?!
But before anyone could start celebrating.
New weights were already placed in their hands.
It was the weighted suit that Yahiko had asked about earlier.
A full two thousand catties!
If they used Chakra, it would be eight thousand catties!
If they were in the sea, they would sink incredibly fast.
"Haha, I considered that everyone mainly relies on their feet and hands to propel themselves in the water, so I specifically requested a batch of weighted suits from the Kazekage, precisely to free up your hands.
"How about that! Can you feel the coach's love for you?!"
The Kappas: "..."
[Thank you so much!]
Although they resisted internally, there was nothing they could do.
At least, their hands were indeed free, weren't they?
"Ready~~"
Might Duy stood in a front-to-back horse stance, leaning back, his hands grasping a fishing rod.
"Open! Rest! Life! Open!!!"
A wave of green energy spread out from Might Duy's body.
Immediately, he exerted force from his waist, and his hands tilted forward along with his torso.
He fiercely threw the fishing rod forward.
"Go get 'em~!"
"Ah~~"
A shimmering golden 'marinated egg' was thus thrown flying.
He then plummeted toward the surface of the deep sea in the distance.
Splashing up a ring of waves.
The massive waves swept onto the beach, soaking many of the nurse sisters who were sunbathing.
Ebizō, who was worrying nearby, was completely stunned by the sight.
Who am I?
What am I doing here?
Since when did Sunagakure train like this?!
When Yahiko woke up again, he found himself back on the Sea Cliff.
He felt his head still hurt a bit, and when he touched it.
Hiss! There was a huge lump!
He didn't know what had happened.
He only knew that Duy-sensei said he wanted to do a demonstration and asked which student was willing to cooperate.
Then... right!
He was directly thrown flying by Nagato.
Ah! The inherently evil Nagato Uzumaki!
Then Duy-sensei tied him up with a very, very thick rope.
Next, he flew up, and then he felt a loud boom.
By the time he woke up again, he was already back on shore.
"Student! Student! Are you alright?"
Might Duy's voice of concern echoed in Yahiko's ears.
"Duy-sensei, I'm fine!"
"That's great! I'm truly sorry, Sensei just misjudged his strength and threw you with a bit too much force!"
"Let's do it one more time! I'll go easier this time!"
"What! Again!"
After hearing Might Duy's last sentence.
He immediately jumped up and ran towards the pile of Kappas.
Are you kidding me!
One more time!
Does he even care about my life?!
What if he throws me directly onto a rock next time?
Might Duy could only watch helplessly as Yahiko ran away.
After all... this child was indeed... perhaps... severely injured.
He immediately sank to the bottom right after entering the sea.
Immediately, Might Duy turned his gaze toward the group of Kappas.
But none of the nearly one thousand Kappas dared to meet Might Duy's gaze at that moment.
They all looked down at their toes.
The Sea Cliff instantly fell silent.
But precisely because of this quiet environment.
The sounds of laughter and joy from the beach carried over to this location.
"Ah! Roka-senpai, that pearl necklace around your neck is so beautiful. Where did you buy it? I really want one too."
"Ah~ You mean this one. It wasn't bought. Ebizō found it for me inside a sea clam at the bottom of the ocean."
"Wow! Ebizō-senpai is so thoughtful! He actually managed to find a pearl that matches you so well, Roka-senpai."
"Look at this color, it perfectly matches our hair! It's so bright red and beautiful! I wish someone could give me a pearl like this too~"
"Haha! Our Kōan-chan is so pretty. As long as you say you like red pearls, I believe plenty of boys would be willing to dive into the sea to find one for you."
"Oh dear~ Roka-senpai, you just love teasing me~"
At this moment, on the Sea Cliff.
Nagato and Yahiko were desperately holding down Kōmei Uzumaki.
"Calm down! Kōmei! You must calm down!"
"That's right! Kōmei! This is a trap, it must be intentional! Life is the most important thing!"
Facing the struggling Kōmei Uzumaki on the ground, Nagato and Yahiko earnestly tried to dissuade him.
"You don't understand! As long as! As long as I can find a red pearl, I can propose! I'll be able to marry Kōan-chan right away!"
Hearing what Kōmei Uzumaki said, Yahiko and Nagato admitted they truly didn't understand.
But they stated they understood the danger of entering the sea—it was a near-death experience!
Nagato quickly spoke up from the side.
"Calm down! Kōmei! Those are just pink skulls! If you die, having a wife will be useless!"
Hearing Nagato's words, Kōmei Uzumaki calmed down for a moment, but then immediately started struggling violently again.
"I can't worry about that now! If someone else finds a red pearl and Kōan-chan runs off with him, that would be worse than killing me!"
But just as a new round of dissuasion was about to begin.
Yahiko's voice suddenly rang out.
"Wait, stop! Listen carefully!"
Hearing Yahiko's words, Nagato and Kōmei immediately pricked up their ears.
"Hey~ Konan, do you like pearls?"
"I do!"
"Then what color do you like?"
"Erm... white, I guess."
"Oh come on. Aren't white pearls the most common kind?"
"Haha, not the ordinary kind of white.
Look there, the pearl on Roka-senpai's neck has hints of gold besides the red."
"Huh? Let me see, it's true! There really are strands of gold markings on it. So, Konan, does the white pearl you like also have to have gold on it?"
"Not exactly."
"But I heard there's a kind of white pearl that has strands of silver thread on it. It shines like the Milky Way in the sky. I really want to see one!"
"Oh! Really? That sounds beautiful too! I want to see it as well."
At this moment, on the Sea Cliff.
"Calm down! Nagato! Those are just pink skulls!!!"
"That's just hearsay! Don't take it seriously!"
Yahiko was currently pressing down hard on Nagato and Kōmei, preventing them from doing anything foolish!
They might not know the danger involved, but surely Yahiko understood it!
It's a near-death experience!!!
