Naruto hodgepodge

In the morning light of Konoha Ninja Village, Naruto and Naruko walked briskly through the bustling streets to the Ninja School, but they felt mixed emotions. This was the second month since he enrolled in the Ninja School, and time passed silently like a stream.

Recalling a month ago, when Naruto used his shadow clone to attend class, his real body was staying at home and wandering around, and was noticed by the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Root leader Shimura Danzo at the same time. They each came to Naruto frequently with different purposes.

The Third Hokage suggested that since Naruto was now proficient in using Shadow Clone, he could skip the normal process and become a deputy captain of his direct Anbu, and Shisui would be assigned to him. On the other hand, Danzo was interested in Naruto because of Konoha's development plan, and Kurama perceived that he was actually friendly to Naruto. Shimura Danzo suggested that Naruto join the Root and gave him the position of deputy captain. Sai and Nobu are now his subordinates.

Naruto was excited at first, after all, Kurama said that Naruto had been a Genin before he became Hokage. Now he didn't even have to go through the process, if he didn't want to go to school, he could just graduate and be given the highest level of Special Jonin that the Hokage and the elders could give directly. He was still wondering why he had such a good thing when he was just a rookie who couldn't even reach the level of a Genin, and his strength and experience were far from enough.

As expected, there is no such thing as a free lunch. Naruto soon realized this. With his appointment to the Anbu and the Root, a series of tedious administrative affairs came like a tide. Documents piled up like a mountain, reports came one after another, and frequent inspections and meetings almost drowned him in endless busyness, making him breathless. These ruthlessly consumed his time and energy. Training, what's the point of training? If this goes on, Konoha will be gone once Pein comes, and he will definitely die, not to mention the checkpoints behind.

As for why he didn't use more shadow clones, the thinking of shadow clones is like the multi-threading of a computer. The sub-thread can only execute the set fixed logic, and at the same time consume the brain's CPU resources. It would take a lot of energy to create a shadow clone to replace the school. After all, his shadow clones are for learning, not for fooling around. The more they are dispersed, the lower the efficiency, just like IO-intensive and CPU-intensive. Naturally, he would not have a shadow clone with a split personality like the original Naruto.

The playground of the Ninja School was filled with a tense and exciting atmosphere. A unique Shuriken throwing competition was about to begin. Teacher Iruka stood in front of everyone and began to explain the Shuriken throwing techniques.

Shuriken throwing, as a basic skill in ninja training, not only tests the ninja's strength and accuracy, but also contains a subtle grasp of details. The following is a comprehensive analysis of the grip, the strength of the shot, and the influence of aerodynamics, showing the essence of shuriken throwing.

1. Holding posture

Steady Grip: First, make sure your palm is dry and firmly gripping the shuriken. Typically, the middle and ring fingers are placed in the grooves of the shuriken's handle to provide the best stability and control. The thumb is lightly pressed against the other side, and the index finger is naturally straight, ready to give the final push when throwing.

Balance perception: When holding the shuriken, feel the weight distribution of the shuriken and make sure the center of gravity is between the palm and fingers. This will help maintain its stability during the throwing process and reduce deviation.

Flexible wrist: The wrist should maintain a certain degree of flexibility so that the angle and strength can be quickly adjusted at the moment of throwing to achieve the best throwing effect.

2. Strength of attack

Power control: According to factors such as target distance and wind direction, the power of the throw should be properly controlled. Too much power may cause the shuriken to fly too far or deviate from the target, while insufficient power may fail to reach the target area.

Gradually accelerate: When throwing, avoid sudden force. Instead, start from the wrist and gradually accelerate to the coordinated movement of the whole arm so that the shuriken reaches maximum speed when it is thrown.

Instant Release: When the optimal release point is reached, release the shuriken quickly and decisively, avoiding any hesitation or procrastination to ensure the accuracy and power of the throw.

3. Aerodynamic influence

Rotational stability: Through the rotation of the wrist, the shuriken can produce a stable rotation during flight. This rotation helps to reduce the impact of air resistance on the flight trajectory of the shuriken, improving stability and hit rate.

Utilization of wind direction: Before throwing, observe and judge the wind direction and wind speed. By properly utilizing the wind direction, you can adjust the flight trajectory of the shuriken to make it easier to hit the target. For example, when the wind is favorable, you can appropriately reduce the throwing force, and when the wind is against you, you need to increase the force to overcome the wind resistance.

Height and arc: Adjust the shuriken's height and arc according to the target's position and distance. A higher launch point can extend the flight time and increase the adjustment space; an appropriate flight arc can help bypass obstacles or adjust the flight direction.

As teacher Iruka finished his explanation, the competition officially began.

Ikkyu, the usually hardworking but somewhat introverted extra, showed his throwing results for the first time - out of 10 shurikens, only 2 hit the bull's eye. Although it was not satisfactory, it also showed his persistence and hard work.

...

The moment Uchiha Sasuke stepped into the throwing area, the air seemed to freeze. Every subtle movement of his exuded confidence and charm that could not be ignored, naturally attracting the attention of all the female fans around him.

He picked up a shuriken with a casual attitude, his fingertips gently sliding over the sharp edge of the blade, as if he was having a silent conversation with this ancient weapon. Then, he took a deep breath, and his eyes instantly became sharp and deep, as if he could see through every detail of the target.

The throwing began, Sasuke's movements were smooth and graceful, like a dance. With a flick of his wrist, the shuriken flew out like an arrow from a string, at a speed that was astonishing. What was even more amazing was that none of the 10 shurikens missed, all of them were accurately nailed on the target, showing his amazing accuracy and control.

However, two of the shurikens thrown by Sasuke missed the center of the target.

The female students present were deeply attracted by Sasuke's throwing skills. They screamed and cheered, expressing their admiration and love for Sasuke in various ways. "Sasuke is so handsome!", "Sasuke is so awesome!", "The Uchiha clan is really synonymous with genius in the school" shouts echoed throughout the throwing area. But Sasuke himself seemed to be indifferent to all this. He only had eyes for the shuriken on the target. Damn, two of his shots missed the center of the bull's eye.

Kiba stood aside, his eyes fixed on Sasuke's impressive performance. When the cheers and screams of the female classmates came one after another, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he whispered "Damn it", look at me surpassing you.

When it was Kiba's turn, he stood in front of the throwing line with full concentration, his eyes fixed on the bull's eye in the distance. His movements were swift and powerful, and each throw was accompanied by a low roar. However, despite Kiba's full efforts, the result was not what he wanted. He only hit 10 out of 7 shurikens, and only 1 landed accurately in the center of the bull's eye. This result was obviously unacceptable to him. His brows were furrowed, and his eyes revealed a trace of unwillingness.

Naruko stood aside, her eyes revealing disdain for the Uchiha. In her opinion, the Uchiha were all bastards, and shuriken were useless. When Naruko first tried shuriken throwing, she thought it shouldn't be difficult, just throw it. However, reality gave her a cruel blow - all 10 shurikens missed, and none of them could touch the target. This result made Naruko feel a little embarrassed, but she tried to cover up her embarrassment with an "indifferent" attitude. At this moment, Kurama's voice rang in her mind again. Although Kurama also knew that shuriken was useless, and the strongest shuriken like Ashura and Naruto's spiral shuriken were different in quality and throwing, it did not prevent it from despising Naruko. Naruko felt even more angry and frustrated, and she couldn't help but curse: "Stinky fox!"

Naruto came over and patted Naruko's shoulder, "Naruko!"

Naruko's appearance comes from Naruto's transformation technique. It is a smaller version of the countless beauties Naruto has seen. She surpasses everyone's appearance and has a very high temperament. She has become the focus of everyone's attention with her impeccable and cute appearance, although she may not be fully aware of this. Naruko usually communicates with almost no one except her brother Naruto in front of outsiders and occasionally because Sakura, a part-time employee, gives her food. As a result, she has formed a unique presence on campus. Female classmates often whisper timidly from a distance, discussing her beauty and that indescribable cuteness.

Sasuke noticed Naruko's frustrated expression just now, and felt that when she was frustrated because of the failure of shuriken training, her pitiful appearance touched his heart. Sasuke couldn't help but want to step forward and give Naruko some comfort and encouragement in his unique way. However, he also knew that he was not familiar with Naruko, and his idol burden made him a little hesitant.

In the end, Sasuke might have just cast an encouraging look from a distance, but unfortunately Naruko was angry and saw Sasuke's expression as a provocation. She remembered this Uchiha second pillar and would definitely beat him up/be beaten up if she had the chance.

Shikamaru: In basic training like throwing shuriken, he also showed unique strategy. The first 4 empty throws were probably intentional, to observe the wind direction, adjust the strength and angle. And the next 6 throws all hit the bull's eye.

Shikamaru: As a ninja from a powerful family, throwing shuriken, a skill that requires delicate operation, is obviously not his strong point. Although the result of hitting 10 out of 5 is not outstanding, it also shows that he has tried hard.

These days, Choji has become familiar with Naruto at school because he and Naruto treated each other to meals, and Choji even had a fight with Shikamaru because of this.

Shino: As a mage-type insect manipulator, his skills are more reflected in controlling insects to fight. Therefore, in traditional ninjutsu training such as throwing shuriken, his performance is not outstanding (10 out of 6).

Hyuga Hinata, who usually focuses on ninjutsu and Byakugan training, tried shuriken throwing for the first time today. At first, she was a little unfamiliar with it and had no corresponding spatial sense, and the first throw missed the target, but then she quickly adjusted her state and opened her Byakugan, and the next 9 shurikens hit the center of the bull's eye without exception.

Sai, as a semi-finished product trained by the Root, is stronger than Sasuke at present. He is also not to be underestimated in shuriken throwing. He hit 10 out of 10, and 7 hit the center of the bull's eye, which is only a little bit behind Sasuke who comes from a professional throwing family. Sai also has two female fans cheering for him, shouting "Sai is so handsome". Because Sai's appearance is not bad, plus he often smiles at female classmates, his popularity is better than Sasuke. It's only because of his poor family that he can compete with Sasuke in terms of fans.

Sakura looked at Sai and asked Brother Sakura: "Brother Sakura, he is also very handsome. Is it okay for Sasuke not to pursue this handsome guy? Do you have any impression of him?"

Sakura looked at Sai and thought of the venomous Sai who called her ugly, and said, "Well, in that future, he is a new member of Team 7 after Sasuke left, and a reliable companion, but definitely not a good choice for a boyfriend. At this stage, he is already a ninja. I advise you to stay away from him."

Toneri, also a beginner, his performance is the same as Hinata. Who among the Moon Otsutsuki uses shuriken? Being able to hit accurately does not mean that shuriken can hit accurately. The first mistake was to figure out all the spatial sense of throwing shuriken. The following 9 shuriken almost copied Hinata's miracle and hit the center of the bull's eye accurately.

Ino, with her usual elegance and confidence, showed off her excellent throwing skills, and her score of hitting the bull's eye with 8 shurikens was enough to impress most people. However, just when she was satisfied with her own performance, she was surprised when she saw Sakura's near-perfect performance.
