Chapter 318: Kurisu’s Explanation of the Development of the Kisatsutai and Oni Organizations

Once they began to understand the sensation of the flow, Kurisu guided them in practicing Chakra control using a basic method—holding a leaf on their forehead and keeping it from falling, as an initial exercise to hone their concentration and control over their Chakra.

Once they successfully held the leaf against their forehead without falling—a basic exercise for subtly controlling their Chakra flow—Kurisu took their training to the next stage: walking on a vertical tree trunk.

Here, Kurisu taught them how to channel Chakra steadily and evenly into the soles of their feet to adhere to the vertical surface. This training more actively tested their concentration and the stability of their Chakra flow.

Once they mastered that exercise, Kurisu increased the difficulty by introducing the practice of walking on water.

At this stage, they had to learn to constantly adjust their Chakra flow, balancing propulsion and stability, as water didn't provide the steady footing that a tree does.

There were many slips, falls, and frustrations—but Kurisu had no tolerance for laziness. 

Once most of them had shown significant progress, Kurisu began introducing them to Basic Ninjutsu.

Kurisu not only taught but also closely supervised every step of the training process.

Kurisu's keen eye observed every movement; she noted slow learners, quick learners, and those who secretly possessed hidden potential that others had yet to realize—those who might not stand out on the surface, but showed flashes of ability when pressed.

Kurisu assigned the top graduates to small squads led by jōnin-level Kisatsutai members.

Kurisu's goal was clear: to mold them under real pressure, accelerating the development of their combat skills through firsthand experience in dangerous terrain. In the shadow of death, true talent would be forged.

Meanwhile, those who excelled in infiltration, reconnaissance, and intelligence gathering were reassigned to more covert roles—becoming part of a secret network operating under the guise of an Oni food shop.

From the outside, these shops appear unassuming, selling inexpensive home-cooked meals loved by civilians, merchants, ninja, and samurai alike.

But beneath the kitchens and shelves are hidden communications hubs—filled with notes, maps, codes, and closely guarded information transmission lines. A place where a whisper could change the course of a war.

But the women's contributions don't stop there. Some have demonstrated extraordinary abilities in other, equally vital fields.

An elderly woman, once a respected blacksmith in the village before war claimed her family, now crafts exclusive weapons for the Kisatsutai army—thin yet deadly blades, with designs unlike any other.

A former medical student, initially hesitant to enter the world of combat, has become Akarin's right-hand woman, devising rapid-healing methods—combining classical medical knowledge with practical innovation.

And several others—sharp-minded and thirsty for knowledge—have been handpicked by Akarin to become her assistants.

They delved into complex subjects like the biology of the ninja body, the refinement of Fuinjutsu seals, and the development of new combat tools that were not only deadly but also unpredictable.

The point was clear: during Aoki's absence over the past few months, much had changed. Massive changes. Tremendous growth. Everything was proceeding according to a long-held plan—even beyond expectations.

Aoki listened with a sharp, unblinking gaze. Every word from Kurisu seemed to ignite something inside him.

For the first time in weeks, Aoki's heart felt warm—not from fire or luck, but from hope and trust. Aoki felt proud. Proud beyond measure.

Unconsciously, Aoki's body moved faster than his thoughts. Before he could even consider it, Kurisu's arms were around him.
