There were also people curious about the content of the upcoming lecture.
Hanzo heard the discussions of those around him and looked expressionlessly at the podium.
Mokgetsu stood on the podium and activated his Byakugan to quickly scan the audience below; with the ninjas from Ninja Sect included, there were roughly about a thousand people.
Primarily, ninjas from small nearby ninja villages and various freelance ninjas were present, with fewer from the great ninja villages.
This number was within Mokgetsu's expectations.
After all, it was the period of the Third Ninja World War, and not many ninjas had free time; even if they did, they might not have the time to come.
If it were a time of peace, there would likely be more people.
Since there were quite a few people, Mokgetsu did not appraise them individually, but instead examined those with stronger Chakra.
Name: Kitsuchi
Chakra: 68000
Skills: Earth Attribute Chakra Nature Transformation (Master Level: 4000/15000), Earth Release: Rock Fist (Master Level), Earth Release: Mountain Earth Jutsu (Master Level)...
After confirming there were no issues, Mokgetsu began the lecture.
"Hello everyone, I am Sosuke, and I will be giving the lecture. Please try to keep quiet," Mokgetsu said loudly, and at the same time, released some of his presence.
In the Ninja World, a world where individual might exists, the strong receive respect. To prevent unnecessary minor troubles, Mokgetsu didn't mind showing part of the worth of the Ninja Master Sosuke before the lecture.
Powerful Chakra swept across the entire clearing, and some nearby Chunin turned slightly pale, shocked.
"What a powerful aura," Pakura thought to herself, startled.
Under Mokgetsu's gentle explanation, the entire area became quiet, with no one engaging in idle chatter. Everyone looked towards Mokgetsu.
"The course will last a total of seven days, covering topics such as Chakra nature transformation and form transformation, Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and more," Mokgetsu briefly explained.
In order to aim for the S-level advanced class rewards, Mokgetsu put considerable effort into preparing the class, as the quality of the course, in addition to the number of attendees, would affect the final evaluation.
The attendees came from various ninja villages from all over, and to cater to everyone, Mokgetsu needed to cover content useful to the majority.
"Such broad content, can it really work?" Kitsuchi was somewhat surprised.
He thought Mokgetsu would teach his specialty, Fire Release, but it now seemed Mokgetsu was prepared to say a bit of everything.
"I'm sure everyone is familiar with Chakra nature transformation," Mokgetsu began the formal lecture.
Many ninjas below nodded their heads. Besides rare situations like Might Guy, the vast majority of ninjas considered nature transformation a cultivation focus.
The stronger the nature transformation, the stronger the Ninjutsu one could utilize; Taijutsu ninjas remained a minority.
"Earth can control the ground, changing the hardness of all things," Mokgetsu made a hand seal and created an earth pillar beside him.
"Wind can make your Chakra thin and sharp, like a blade, able to cut through objects."
Mokgetsu placed his hand on the earth pillar, Wind Blades emanating from his palm, quickly slicing the pillar into chunks of stone.
"Lightning has strong penetrating power and is also suitable for dispersion."
A bolt of lightning shattered the stones, turning them into a heap of small pieces.
"The characteristics of fire are temperature and combustion."
Brilliant, high-temperature flames burst from Mokgetsu's hand, adding more charred marks to the broken stones.
"Water Chakra easily deforms, suitable for various form transformations."
Upon entering Water Attribute Chakra Nature Changes, Mokgetsu waved his hand to create a flow of water pliable and under his control, transforming from a soft whip to a sharp sword.
In the blink of an eye, Mokgetsu completed the demonstration of the five types of Chakra nature transformations and explained their characteristics.
"Truly impressive, though he didn't say much, every word is essence," a ninja below sighed in admiration.
He had been cultivating Wind Attribute Chakra nature changes and felt that although his previous teacher talked a lot, the essence was simply thinness and sharpness, delving deeper into that direction.
"Is that all?" Pakura found it a bit dull.
Even though Mokgetsu's explanation was good, to ninjas like her, these were just basic knowledge.
"We all know there are restraining relationships between Chakra attributes, and using those relationships well can gain an advantage in battle."
"This is precisely why we must delve into studying Chakra nature transformation; as long as your nature transformation is high enough in magnitude, restraining relationships aren't absolute. Fire Release can also suppress Water Release."
Many ninjas nodded. Ninja Master Sosuke gained his current reputation because he used Fire Release to defeat Hanzo in that battle, proving his exceptional level in Fire Release.
Hanzo kept a stony face; although Mokgetsu didn't mention names, he felt pointed out.
As Mokgetsu delved deeper, Hanzo paid even more attention, wanting to know how he lost that day, even with the rainy-day advantage, to Mokgetsu, who excelled in Fire Release.
Halfway through the lecture, Mokgetsu felt it difficult to convey by words alone, so he asked the crowd to move back slightly and, entering the Breath of Flame Chakra Mode, compressed Chakra to send a spark onto the ground.
"Next, I will randomly select a ninja to come up and attempt to extinguish it with water," Mokgetsu's gaze swept across the crowd.
Hanzo furrowed his brow and slightly lowered his head, reducing his presence, while the ninjas around him were eager to try. This was an opportunity to interact with Ninja Master Sosuke.
"Let's have the friend with the mask come up and give it a try," Mokgetsu pointed at Hanzo.
Hanzo: ...
He strongly suspected Mokgetsu had already recognized him; otherwise, why would so many ninjas result in him being chosen?
