Chapter 9 Kakashi: Women Only Slow Down My Sword-Drawing SpeedObito's expression stiffened.The surrounding classmates immediately pricked up their ears, Kurenai Yuhi looked at him with a smile, and Rin Nohara wore a look as if waiting for his answer.Obito opened his mouth, wanting to say he wouldn't admit it.But looking at Fang Xu's face, he really couldn't bring himself to say it.Fang Xu was indeed handsome; even he found it hard to deny that point.In the end, Obito could only turn his face away and let out a huff."He's just... just a little bit more handsome than ordinary people."Fang Xu said, "A little bit?"Obito gritted his teeth, "Fine, he is quite handsome! Are you happy now?"Kurenai Yuhi and Rin Nohara laughed again.Obito quickly added, "But! What's the use of being handsome? A Ninja still has to rely on strength! I am the man who will become the Hokage in the future, and I will never lose to you!"Fang Xu nodded, "Mm, keep it up, future Hokage."Hearing this title, Obito immediately regained his spirit, "Of course! Just wait and see, sooner or later I, Uchiha Obito, will make everyone acknowledge me!"Not far away, Kakashi saw all of this.He rested his chin on his hand halfway, the single exposed eye rolling upward.Naive, far too naive.Fighting for women's favor and arguing for half a day over who is more handsome is simply a waste of time. The Ninja World has never been a place that looks at faces.Strength is the fundamental base.No matter how good-looking your face is, a Kunai won't curve when it stabs over, and when Ninjutsu smashes down, it won't explode any less just because you are handsome.Kakashi looked down at the short blade on his desk, then touched the black face mask on his face.However, speaking of which, there was a reason why he had always worn a face mask.After all, his looks were too dangerous.If he didn't seal this face away, the girls in the class would probably cause even more trouble.Kakashi sighed very earnestly in his heart: "Women only slow down the speed of drawing a sword."Not everyone understands the annoyance of being harassed by girls because of one's looks.As soon as the class bell rang, the noise in the classroom immediately quieted down.Uchiha Obito still wanted to argue a couple more words with Fang Xu, but Rin Nohara just glanced at him, and he immediately shut his mouth."Hmph, we'll talk next time."Though Obito was unconvinced in his mouth, his body was very honest, obediently returning to his own seat.Not long after, he buried his head in his arms and slumped directly down to sleep.Fang Xu was left somewhat speechless at the sight.This guy was just shouting about becoming the Hokage, but as soon as the class bell rang, before his youth could even ignite, he ran out of battery first.However, he didn't pay attention to Obito anymore.Fang Xu took out his textbook from his schoolbag and opened it to the basic theory to be taught today. The original owner had also looked over this content before.The angles of Ninja tool throwing, the basics of Chakra Control, the precautions for the Three Techniques, and the disciplinary requirements during mission execution.These things weren't difficult to say, nor were they simple. For true geniuses, they could memorize them in one read.For ordinary students like the original owner, much of the content had to be repeatedly memorized, and even after memorizing it, they might not be able to use it well.But now it was different.Fang Xu looked down at the textbook, his concentration instantly focusing.The first line, the second line, the third line.After the text entered his vision, instead of being scattered and piled up in his brain like in the past, it quickly turned into a clear structure.What was the key point, what was supplementary, and what corresponded to his own training—he barely needed to think about it deliberately before the answers naturally popped out.He turned a page, tapping his fingers lightly on the desktop twice."Memorized."Fang Xu's heart stirred, and he closed the textbook again.The contents of that page just now were unexpectedly as if printed in his mind, and even the paragraph positions were very clear.He could even deduce further down based on the content.For example, the textbook talked about Ninja tool throwing, where the focus was on the coordination of force application in three places: the shoulder, elbow, and wrist.In the past, the original owner would only rigidly memorize words like "maintain stability" and "control the angle".But now Fang Xu could immediately think that if Lightning Activation was used on the arm to enhance muscle response in a short time, the throwing speed and adjustment ability of the shuriken would both become stronger.Take Chakra Control for example; the textbook only explained the importance of maintaining Chakra stability.Fang Xu, however, could connect it to the failure of practicing Lightning Release: Lightning Sphere last night.The Lightning Release Chakra was too hasty, the condensation speed was too fast, and the stability was poor.If the output was lowered first, and then refined control was applied using spiritual energy, the success rate should still be able to increase.This wasn't simply an improvement in memory; it was that comprehension ability had also grown stronger along with it.Fang Xu was still very calm on the surface, but in his heart he could already hardly suppress his excitement."After the two souls merged, my spiritual energy doubled, and the changes brought about are even greater than I imagined.""Learning speed, memory speed, comprehension speed—they have all improved.""This is too important for a Ninja."What a Ninja competes on isn't just the amount of Chakra; intelligence, hand signs, tactics, Chakra Control, and bodily coordination all have to be learned.If his learning capacity truly underwent a qualitative change, then in the future when practicing Ninjutsu, taijutsu, or even researching the combination of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and Chakra, the efficiency would be a huge margin higher than before.This was the advantage that could snowball in the long run.Fang Xu reopened the textbook and continued reading downward.The teacher lectured at the front, while he read at the back.It wasn't that he wasn't listening, but rather that just as the teacher was halfway through the lecture, he had already finished reading all the subsequent pages and casually wrote down his own understanding in his notebook.Kurenai Yuhi sat nearby, at first only glancing at him casually.Soon, she discovered something was amiss; Fang Xu was too quiet today.It wasn't the kind of dazed quietness from before, but rather that he was genuinely studying hard.His gaze remained fixed on the textbook and notes, and the pen in his hand almost never stopped.When the teacher lectured on key points, he would raise his head to listen, and where the teacher skipped over, he would lower his head to supplement.Occasionally frowning wasn't because he didn't understand, but rather as if he was comparing the contents of the book with his own training experience.The more Kurenai Yuhi looked, the more surprised she became.Fang Xu before yesterday couldn't be said not to work hard, but he definitely didn't have this kind of focus right now.Previously, he mostly just followed along with the curriculum; his grades weren't bad, nor were they outstanding.But today, the whole person of his seemed to have changed.Kurenai Yuhi couldn't help asking in a low voice, "Are you really planning to study seriously today?"Fang Xu didn't even raise his head, "Not today, but from now on."Kurenai Yuhi was taken aback.These words were spoken very softly, yet didn't sound like a joke.Looking at the lines of notes written by Fang Xu, a bit of pressure suddenly arose in her heart.Fang Xu had already begun to change; if he could truly keep this up, his strength would definitely improve very quickly.She couldn't fall behind either."Then I'll have to see just how long you can keep it up," Kurenai Yuhi said softly.Fang Xu smiled, "You can watch slowly."Kurenai Yuhi didn't disturb him further and also lowered her head to look at the textbook.She wasn't someone who slacked off to begin with; it was just that Fang Xu's change today was too obvious, giving her a surge of drive in her heart.If Fang Xu marched forward, she had to keep up too, at least not letting herself be left too far behind.A whole day of classes passed very quickly.Obito slept and woke up, woke up and slept again. In the middle, he was called upon by the teacher to answer a question, stammered for half a day, and finally, only after Rin Nohara gave him a quiet reminder, did he barely manage to get through it.
