Sensei said we have to learn this last technique now. Nanami was prepared. But Shin said he can’t learn any more technique. In the HQ, Kirigaya Raiasked asked one of the employees if he sent a mission letter to the Kenma Squad. He answered yes and said I gave them a C-Rank Mission as you asked for. 3rd Head wanted to know the mission spot. He replied I sent the mission letter after getting permission from your assistant and manager. But I don’t know the mission spot.
Now sensei said I will teach you the Smoke Technique. I asked why it’s named smoke. Sensei explained, its full name is Smoke Illusion Technique. By using this technique, you can disappear fighting your enemy. Because of the smoke, this technique can hide the user so that the enemy can’t find the user’s real position. More specifically it helps you to escape when you get cornered. Now watch the demo smoke technique. We saw sensei releasing smoke from his hand. Then he touched his smoke with the ground and instantly so much smoke came out. When the smoke disappeared, we saw none there. We searched for him but couldn’t find. Shizuku said this technique is very useful. Then sensei spoke from the roof of the house, if you can’t continue the fight, you can retreat using this technique. So let’s start the training.
He started explaining, you have to just generate smoke by using Sasis. Nanami asked how.Shin asked how we can release smoke from our hands. Shizuku said, I still can’t understand it. I said, actually I also didn’t understand it, sensei. Sensei took a long breath and started explaining more carefully. First release Sasis from your hand like this. Then try to convert it into smoke. Shizuku asked how to convert it into smoke. Sensei explained, after you release Sasis, then put heat on it and from this Sasis-Heat reaction, smoke is generated. I was just watching this. Then we tried it. Nanami was very carefully trying to generate smoke. We were trying to generate heat. Sensei told us to generate the heat at minimum. Shin wasn’t trying so desperately. Shin told sensei to give a break as he couldn’t take a break once. He also said, he took the whole break to learn healing techniques and as soon as he completed that, you (sensei) started another technique. Sensei said he will get a break after 10 minutes. Shin said, he won’t last that long.
We were trying and after a while Nanami generated smoke. Sensei took a look and said, “No, you did wrong.” Nanami wanted an explanation. Then sensei told him to put that smoke into the ground. Nanami did that but when the smoke touched the ground, more smoke didn’t appear. Sensei told him he hadn’t done it yet, try to do better. Shizuku told sensei, I’m feeling heat in my hands but can’t generate smoke. Sensei told her also to try to do better. After some time, we were given a break. We all went to the house. But Nanami was still training outside. Sensei told him to take a break and after that, continue the training. Nanami replied, he can’t take a break now. Soon it will be night and I have to learn it before that. Sensei permitted him and said, but after that you can’t ask for a break. Shizuku said, at first this technique seemed easy. Shin said, everything is easy but it looks like only we can’t do it. I was thinking about something.
After a while, sensei told us that the breaktime is over and to resume the training fast. I was still sitting there. Sensei said, “Noya! The break is over! Get back to training!” But then I said, “I’ve understood!” Sensei asked me what I understood. I replied, “Technique”. Then I went outside and put one hand on another hand.Sensei told me to do it according to my (Sensei) instructions. At that moment, suddenly Nanami screamed. Sensei told Nanami why he just screamed. Nanami released his smoke in the ground and a lot of smoke came out. Sensei told him well done. You have learned it. Nanami said it wasn’t a big deal.
At that very moment, I grazed my two hands. Sensei told me what I’m doing. Then I drew Sasis into my hand and the hands were heated and smoke started to come out. Then I release the smoke into the ground. Everyone was shocked. But then nothing happened. When sensei was about to say, “It’s too easy” , a huge amount of smoke came out. We couldn’t see each other. After the smoke disappeared, sensei said, it was remarkable. I also tried this but never succeeded. But how did you do that? I said, I don’t know. It just came out. Sensei then said, I have successfully learned this technique.
