Chapter 76 Discussion on Substitution Technique
"If it's okay, Haiyi, you go back first, and Kazuya stays with me, and I will send someone to send him back later." Sarutobi said with a smile on his face after successfully accepting Echizen Kazuya as his disciple.

"Okay, Sandai-sama, then I'll go back first, and I'll leave Kazuya to you!" Yamanaka Kaiichi still couldn't hide his joy, rubbed Echizen Kazuya's head lightly, and said excitedly, after Sandai nodded in agreement , Hai Yi immediately exited the Hokage office.

"Old, teacher, what do I need to do now?" After Yamanaka Kai left, Echizen Kazuya faced Sarutobi Hiruzen alone in the silent Hokage office, suddenly feeling a little nervous, and stammered.

"Don't be nervous, Kazuya, don't call me teacher, just call me grandpa from now on," Hiruzaru Sarutobi saw Kazuya's nervousness at a glance, and smiled kindly.

"Yes, Grandpa." The third Hokage is very friendly, and his kind smile is like a kind and wise elder. It is hard to believe that he is a ninja who stands at the pinnacle of the ninja world and has countless blood on his hands. Echizen Kazuya Under his infection, he immediately became less nervous, and shouted crisply.

"Haha, that's right," Hiruzaru Sarutobi laughed when he heard Echizen Kazuya's address and said, "Kazuya, you will practice with me from now on, you can ask me anytime if you have any questions, you understand?"

"Okay, thank you Grandpa, I happen to have a few problems that I haven't solved, can you teach me?" Upon hearing Hiruzaru Sarutobi's words, Echizen Kazuo also hit the snake with the stick and asked expectantly.

"Okay, then you can talk about it," Hiruzaru Sarutobi was of course full of confidence in answering Echizen Kazuya's question, and said kindly.

"It's like this. Uncle Haiyi said that there are two disadvantages of the substitute technique. One is that you need to have an item that contains your own chakra as a replacement prop, and the other is that as the distance increases, the consumption of chakra will be very scary. I am in I also encountered these two difficulties when using it, so I want to try to improve this ninjutsu, do you have any good suggestions?" Echizen Kazuya asked expectantly.

This is a question he is eager to know the answer to, because his proficiency in the "substitution technique" has reached 82%, and it is estimated that he will be able to reach the full level in about ten days, and then he will be able to upgrade it.

Echizen Kazuya is also very much looking forward to the third generation can give him some pointers, so that the upgrade of the substitute technique will be smoother.In his opinion, the "substitution technique" has great potential, and once its flaws are resolved, this space ninjutsu, which was abandoned by the top ninjas like a shoe, will definitely be able to show its true brilliance.

Hiruza Sarutobi did not expect that Echizen Kazuya would ask such a big problem when he came up. Substitution is a basic ninjutsu that almost everyone knows. Countless people have done research on it and tried every means to improve it. But as if restricted by the rules, the results achieved are minimal.

"Countless people have thought of improving the ninjutsu of Substitution, and have found some effective methods, such as enhancing the perception ability, strengthening Chakra control, etc." Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a while and said: "But the effect is very limited , cannot fundamentally change this ninjutsu."

"Grandpa, why does strengthening the perception ability have the effect of improving the substitute technique?" Hearing the two methods proposed by Sarutobi Hiruza that can improve the substitute technique, Echizen Kazu asked immediately.

For this problem, Sarutobi Hiruzen is much more sure, he said eloquently: "This is because our eyes cannot see the position of the object at the moment when the substitute technique is used to exchange the position of the body and other things , so you can only know where the item you want to replace is by sensing your own chakra contained in the item.”

"This method is of course no problem when the distance is very short. Even people with poor perception ability can clearly know the location of the item, but after the distance exceeds two meters, most people will not be able to use it the moment the ninjutsu is launched. The perception of the position will become extremely blurred, resulting in the failure of the substitute technique."

Having said a series of words, Hiruzaru Sarutobi breathed a sigh of relief, and concluded: "So, if you want to perform a substitute technique of more than two meters, a strong perception ability is essential."

While listening to Hiruzaru Sarutobi's analysis carefully, Echizen Kazuya tried hard to think about ways to improve it in light of his own use of Substitution Technique.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped, Echizen Kazuya seemed to have thought of something, and asked in a trembling tone of excitement: "Grandpa, you said that the eyes cannot see the position of the item at the moment of using the substitute technique, so you need to Sensing Chakra to determine the location, is there any other way to determine the location?"

What Echizen Kazuya thought of was of course his "mind's eye". If the "mind's eye" could clearly see the situation around his body at the moment the substitute technique was activated, would that mean that he could get rid of the first constraint of the substitute technique? No need to be restricted by the location of the item, within a range of 1.5 meters, you can go wherever you want?

Just thinking about it, Echizen Kazuya felt his heart surge, he resisted the urge to immediately find a place to test his ideas, and waited for Sarutobi Hiruzaru's answer.

"Any other methods?" Hearing Echizen Kazuya's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen thought about it seriously, and found that there was nothing to gain, and said helplessly: "I really don't know about this problem. I am not a perception ninja. I don’t know much about it, but there might really be other ways!”

Hiruzaru Sarutobi found out that Echizen Kazuya was inexplicably excited and couldn't hide his joy, and asked curiously: "What's the matter, Kazuya, do you have any better perception method?"

"Ah, how is it possible? Grandpa, you can't do anything about it, so how could I?" Echizen Kazuya was shocked, lamenting that his energy-raising skills were not good enough, and he was so happy for a while, and his thoughts were seen.But Echizen Kazuo calmed down quickly, and replied without changing his face: "I just think this is very possible, so I am a little excited."

The existence of the "mind's eye" is still hidden in the bottom of my heart, and it is better to use it as my hole card. Regardless of whether it can be used in body substitutes, Echizen Kazuya does not intend to reveal it.

"Hehe, even if there are other methods, they are actually not very effective. The biggest factor restricting the substitute technique is the consumption of chakra." Hiruzaru Sarutobi didn't take Echizen Kazuya's strangeness to heart, and said indifferently.

"Grandpa, is strengthening Chakra control just to reduce Chakra consumption?" Echizen Kazuya immediately asked.

"Hehe, Kazuya is so smart, he thought of it all at once!" Hiruzaru Sarutobi stroked his beard, very satisfied with Echizen Kazuya's reaction, and said kindly.

"Enhancing Chakra control is indeed to reduce Chakra consumption, but even if Chakra control reaches a very good level, the Chakra that can be saved is just a drop in the bucket compared to the terrifying consumption of the substitute technique. There is almost no effect."

Seeing Echizen Kazuya's puzzled eyes, Hiruzaru Sarutobi smiled and made an analogy: "For example, a person's original Chakra can replace an item at a distance of 2 meters. After strengthening the Chakra In terms of control, he can replace an item at a distance of 2.1 meters, such an improvement has almost no effect on the result, do you understand now?"

Echizen Kazuya was silent when he heard the words. He originally thought that he could use his strong chakra control to reduce the chakra consumed by the substitute technique. Achieved.
