Yasu settled down in Orochimaru's underground base.
Furthermore, Orochimaru had already drawn up a comprehensive training plan for him.
However, what he didn't know that the days to come would be his nightmare.
The next day, before dawn, Yasu was awakened by a snake.
He woke up in a startled state when the snake crawled onto his bed.
Moreover, this snake could speak human language, definitely a summoned creature from Orochimaru.
"Lord Yasssu, Lord Orochimaru is waiting for you."
This was the first time someone... no, some snake, had called him 'Lord,' which felt strange.
When he arrived at Orochimaru's office, Orochimaru was already up reading a ninjutsu scroll.
"Since you're awake, let's begin. Follow me."
Orochimaru led Yasu to the underground base's training ground.
In the center of the training ground, Orochimaru directly summoned a large number of snakes and said to him: "We'll start with taijutsu training in the morning. You can't use Lightning Release chakra to activate your body. Using only your pure physical strength, hit as many snakes as possible within one minute. I'll tell you when to stop. Are you ready?"
Yasu, who had just woken up, was a little dazed. This was too sudden, and he hadn't even had breakfast yet!
But he didn't complain and took a deep breath and nodded. "I'm ready, Yeacher Orochimaru."
"Then let's begin. Start the timer."
Yasu instantly rushed out, striking the snakes' bodies with his hands.
The snakes that he hit turned into smoke and disappeared.
Orochimaru went to the edge of the training ground, sat down on a chair that had been prepared, and continued reading the ninjutsu scroll he hadn't finished.
A minute passed quickly, and Yasu felt it was still quite easy.
After all, it was only one minute.
Just as he was about to report to Orochimaru that the minute was up, he heard him say without even looking up to him: "Continue."
Yasu continued to strike the snakes. (Nani?)
One minute, two minutes, and another minute passed.
He didn't even know how many minutes had passed, and Orochimaru always said the same word.
"Continue."
The snakes in the training ground had been replaced several times over.
After many repetitions, Yasu stopped asking and proactively started the next minute.
At first, he was very relaxed, but as time went on, his body became more and more exhausted.
He had gotten up at five o'clock in the morning to start training, and now it was almost ten o'clock.
This one-minute training continued.
His speed became slower and slower, his steps became heavier and heavier, and he was bitten by snakes several times.
Fortunately, these snakes weren't poisonous, or he would have died countless times already.
However, the first time he was bitten, Orochimaru allowed him to activate his Sharingan for training.
Activating the Sharingan increased his dynamic vision, making the training a little easier.
But the Sharingan couldn't increase his stamina, and the snakes were still as fast as ever, so the training became difficult again before long.
And since he stopped asking, Orochimaru had been reading the ninjutsu scroll in leisure, as if he had forgotten about him, which made him quite depressed.
Yasu lost focus for a moment and was instantly bitten on the arm by a snake.
He shook off the snake and was about to continue with the next minute when Orochimaru's voice came: "Let's end the taijutsu training here."
Yasu had never felt Orochimaru's hoarse voice sound so pleasant. He immediately collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.
This training seemed simple, and it was indeed simple, but it tested precision, concentration, endurance, and speed.
Especially the sharingan, constantly focusing on the snakes' movements made his eyes sore and astringent, and things seemed to have doubled.
Orochimaru closed the scroll in his hand, got up, and walked to his side.
He then began to point out his problems: "Your problems are significant. Your speed and endurance are entirely due to the Lightning Release chakra stimulating your body and activating it."
"Without the enhancement of Lightning Release chakra, you could initially hit about 120 snakes per minute on average, about two snakes per second. This speed is already quite excellent compared to your peers, but for you, who pursues speed, this efficiency is completely unqualified."
"And your endurance... after an hour, your speed of hitting snakes had already begun to decline sharply. That is to say, in battle, your combat power will be greatly reduced after an hour. Your concentration is barely Passed, about two hours before you were bitten by a snake, but your use of the Sharingan is too poor."
"The activation of the Sharingan has brought you enhanced dynamic vision, so you don't need to focus only on the snakes in front of you like you did before you activated the Sharingan. You should make full use of your dynamic vision to judge the movements of more snakes around you and react in advance."
"And you rely too much on the enhancement that Lightning Release chakra brings you. What you need to do now is to work hard to improve your own physical fitness. After your physical fitness improves, then you use Lightning Release chakra to activate your body, your speed and endurance will also be greatly improved. So, in addition to the current training, I will add strength training to tomorrow morning's taijutsu training."
Yasu listened to Orochimaru's explanation of his problems, and he humbly accepted everything.
At the same time, he was still a little disappointed.
He thought that he had been working hard all along and should be quite excellent, but in Orochimaru's mouth, he seemed to be quite poor.
He had to work even harder... more harder.
So, he thanked him: "Thank you, Teacher Orochimaru, I will work hard!"
Orochimaru nodded and said: "Let's go eat first. We'll start ninjutsu training in the afternoon."
Yasu then followed Orochimaru out of the training ground.
He never expected that lunch would be cooked by Orochimaru himself, and it was omurice.
Looking at the bright omurice covered in sauce in front of him, he felt like it looked quite delicious.
After eating a bite, it really was delicious.
And he felt a little shocked in his heart, never expecting Orochimaru to be a good cook.
And Orochimaru was now truly a ninjutsu maniac, even holding a ninjutsu scroll to watch while eating.
The ninjutsu training in the afternoon also began.
Ninjutsu training was not easier than taijutsu training at all, and even more so.
Because Yasu didn't know any other ninjutsu besides Thunder Breathing, Orochimaru first taught him C-rank ninjutsu of Lightning, Fire, Water, and Earth, and letting him practice them first.
Yasu constantly consumed the chakra in his body to practice ninjutsu.
When the chakra was nearly used up, he would refine chakra on the spot, and then continue to practice.
The time to refine chakra was his short rest time.
It wasn't until about six o'clock in the evening that his day of training stopped.
After casually shoveling down two mouthfuls of dinner, he fell on bed like a corpse.
The main reason was that he really couldn't squeeze out any more strength.
His physical strength was squeezed dry in the morning, and his chakra was squeezed dry in the afternoon. The first day of training was so torturous.
Thinking about the days to come, Yasu couldn't help but shiver.
