Chapter XXXIV: Concealment and Investigation
"First of all, the noise you make when you run is so loud that I can determine your position with my eyes closed." Araki stretched out his index finger, "Secondly, you don't hide your whereabouts when you run, not to mention eliminating the traces you left along the way, you don't even have the consciousness to make reasonable use of the environment and make yourself disappear from my sight, just running, this is a very stupid behavior." ”
Sticking out his middle finger, Araki continued, "Also, you chose a hiding place without carefully checking the situation around you first. After that, you just crouched there and pretended to be dead, and you didn't take the initiative to scout the surrounding situation, even if you did it later, you used the stupidest method. ”
Stretching out his ring finger, Araki's voice was a little helpless: "You stuck your head out of the trunk, do you want to be a target?" ”
"Let's not talk about the rest for now, let's teach you from the basics."
As soon as I heard that I was going to talk about dry goods, Aoyagi came to the spirit and listened carefully.
"Concealment, the most important thing is to hide the body and control the voice. This is because sight and hearing are the two most common senses that people use when receiving information from the outside world. As for smells, chakra fluctuations, etc., only some ninjas or ninja beasts can find them, compared to the first two, they are not so important, but they are also aspects that cannot be ignored. No matter how good you are at other areas, as long as one area is flawed, then concealment is unsuccessful. Only by mastering the concealment technique can we achieve a real qualitative change, and we can successfully conceal ourselves anytime and anywhere. ”
"What I teach you today has to do with hiding your body. If you want to hide your body, the easiest way is to make yourself jump out of the sight of others through various shelters in the environment, which is easy to understand, but not easy to do. First of all, you'll have to spot the enemy's location in advance, judge their line of sight, and find out their blind spots. And how to hide is also a key issue, not that just hiding is over. What if the enemy comes to search? Then you are exposed. So you have to judge the enemy's movements and move in time before the enemy detects you. ”
"You also felt it just now, if you don't know the enemy's movements, it will be difficult to make a judgment on the next step, and you don't know how to better hide yourself."
Aoyagi nodded, it was because he hadn't heard from the outside world for a long time and wasn't sure of Araki-sensei's location that he wanted to investigate the situation and decide on his next move.
"So, to hide yourself, you must first be able to detect the enemy in advance. A good recloaker is often a great scout. ”
"Anyway, you first learn how to use your eyes to detect. When you understand how to detect, you will probably understand how to hide. ”
"Okay." Aoyagi doesn't have a problem with this, anyway, it's all about learning things that he doesn't know.
"There are no white eyes, no eyes with excellent eyesight, no ninja beasts with a developed sense of smell, and no hearing beyond ordinary people, in terms of detection, you have no advantage at all compared to other ninjas."
Embarrassed by Araki's words, Aoyagi found that he was indeed very weak in reconnaissance, and he was no different from ordinary people.
"However, eyesight, hearing, and smell can all be exercised, and you may even be able to learn chakra perception."
Aoyagi's eyes lit up, so the next thing is to teach the exercise method?
"First of all, it's eyesight, and in a nutshell, there's a couple of things to work on: dynamic vision, long sight, and insight."
"Listening is about capturing and analyzing weak sounds; The sense of smell is similar, with the capture and analysis of small odors. ”
"For ordinary people like you, the sense of smell doesn't need to be considered, and the exercise is not very effective and extremely time-consuming. Although it is said that a developed sense of smell can get a lot of hidden information, for ordinary people, it takes too much effort to reach that state, and it is likely that it will not be able to achieve it in the end, and it is not cost-effective. You first practice your eyesight and hearing, and then see if you can learn to feel chakra. ”
Aoyagi kept nodding his head, and he learned whatever he taught.
"The dumbest way to improve your dynamic vision is to keep trying to capture objects moving at high speed with your eyes. However, there are better ways to get exercised. When an object is moving at high speed, first of all, your eyes must be able to keep up with it, so it is possible to see clearly, so the first thing is to exercise the speed of eye movement. Of course, the speed of the head movement also needs to be exercised......"
"The length of the visual distance plays a much greater role in the investigation than the dynamic vision. The long line of sight allows you to spot enemies from afar. However, in the forest, there are many shelters, and the length of the sight distance has little impact on the detection ability. Long sight distance, more often than not, plays a role in plain areas. ”
"In Konoha there are many forests, but in other countries, this is not the case. For example, in the Land of Wind, there are a large number of deserts in the territory, and ninjas with long sight ranges have a reconnaissance advantage here. ”
………………
It was about eleven o'clock, and Araki finished teaching.
"That's all for today, I won't teach you alone in the future. On the morning of the day of the earth (Saturday) and the day of the sun (Sunday), you come here, and I continue to teach you. ”
"Hey! Thank you very much Mr. Araki for your teaching! Aoyagi bowed in gratitude.
With Aoyagi, Araki returned to the training ground, and saw a group of students who were quite embarrassed, and they were already very tired from running at full strength for a long time, but they continued to run hard under Sugimotsu's supervision.
It's not quite right to say it's running, it's a little faster than walking.
Seeing that the students were reaching their limit, Araki said, "All the students! Run as hard as you can for 10 minutes before stopping. But if I find out if anyone isn't doing their best, hum ......"
Looking at Araki's smiling expression, the whole class felt chills, and one by one they tried their best to move forward, which was a little faster than just now, and successfully changed from the speed of race walking to the speed of jogging.
"Stop!"
It's a natural sound! The classmates all showed relieved expressions, and many of them sat down on the ground.
Araki and Sugimoto looked at it and pulled up the students who were seated, "Don't sit, walk back to the classroom slowly!" ”
Sugimoto explains, "It is not appropriate to stand still suddenly after strenuous exercise, and the body must recover slowly. ”
Chisato Oe touched his heart, "Oops, my heart is about to jump out." Looking at Aoyagi, who was calm and relaxed, he was very envious, "Aoyagi, you are fine, you are taken away by the teacher to teach alone, and you don't have to suffer this sin." ”
The picture of the rough man holding his heart was too beautiful, and Aoyagi immediately turned his head and quickened his pace to avoid looking directly at the source of spiritual pollution.
"Hey, wait a minute, Aoyagi, what did the teacher teach you......"
