Pausing for a few moments so that the team could digest this and put it in their heads, I continued:
- And do not forget that you will almost never meet exclusively shinobi in the rank of genin among the opponents, and therefore you will not be able to help in any way.
- So, we will have to retreat in any case when we meet hostile opponents using chakra? - Hoshi said thoughtfully.
I've already told them about the fact that it's not just for shinobi.
- You'll make it easier for me, too," he nodded and explained to the questioning looks of the trio. "You won't have to break attention and cover you, and you'll be able to hit with area techniques, which you can't do if you have weak allies nearby - you don't have the necessary reflexes to support a powerful ninjutsu specialist.
The girls looked at each other, having already forgotten the initial topic of conversation. Which was required.
- What if the enemies are suddenly too strong? - Surizawa asked after a short silence.
- I smiled and added, "Remember that any man who has achieved the rank of jonin, or at least tokubetsu-jonin, as in my case, has trump cards that can surprise even a stronger opponent, or simply allow him to survive the encounter. Clan fighters by definition have more such surprises.
- What are your trump cards, Ryo-sensei? - The little kunoichi stepped forward, glaring at me.
Yeah, well, who cares, but the genin have cool jutsu.
- Hmm, for example, as an excellent iryonin, I can remove my body's natural limitations and make it work at its limit, which will allow me not only to resist stronger enemies at the same level for a while, but also to simply run away from them, thanks to the advantage in speed," I said, smiling at the neutral option, "or Nara's hijutsu can serve as an equally unexpected trump card, especially when the opponent is not expecting it.
- So this is all a simple disguise? - Asani circled my figure questioningly with her finger, obviously referring to my clothes.
- Partly, it's also a protective fuin outfit that can make life easier for any shinobi - filtering volatile gases and silencing light flashes, masking chakra, protecting against weak techniques and other such niceties," I didn't try to be cryptic, especially since anyone with a brain can figure it out with a little thought.
Vests jonin are not just a status item and simple armor, but are processed by the appropriate experts of the relevant seals - Uzumaki a couple of such trained for a lot of money. They are not capable of anything else, nor are they capable of making modifications to the known seals, but Konoha has some pretty good equipment that other villages can't boast of.
- Sensei...
- Yes, yes, I'll do something for you later, too," I sighed, looking into the shining eyes of the trio, "and now let's go set up the parking lot before it gets dark.
With an affirmative squeak, and clearly letting their imaginations run wild on the subject, the students enthusiastically set to work.
Well, everything went very well with Surizawa, although I had my doubts about her. Mito's favorite psychological trick had once again proved its worth.
