"Chakra's properties... I've tested them before."
Gaara slightly raised an eyebrow and looked at Hatake Satoru in front of him.
Hatake Satoru hadn't talked to him about chakra properties before, so he assumed that Hatake Satoru was also just going to focus on teaching him how to use sand.
Or rather... he had no idea what this person's guidance was focused on...
"Wind, Earth, Lightning, but because of the sand, I usually only focus on training with the sand."
Gaara said seriously.
After all, in most cases, his sand can solve most problems, so there's no need to focus on using other ninja skills.
He usually doesn't care much about that.
"Wind and Earth aren't a problem, you look like that kind of person... but why Lightning?"
Hatake Satoru muttered to himself.
He has Lightning chakra, but he's terrible at physical skills. Is this guy really just focused on studying sand?
"Huh?"
Gaara looked at Hatake Satoru, a little confused.
He didn't decide what his chakra properties were, but he has them.
"You probably realized it during the Chunin Exams, you rely too much on the sand to protect you, and your physical skills are completely bad."
"Kimimaro was able to break your defense because he was fast enough."
"Keep training the way you used to, but try to use Lightning chakra to help yourself."
"Even though it might be different from your normal way of fighting, it's good to get used to it."
Kakashi is good at using Lightning chakra.
Even though Hatake Satoru doesn't use chakra abilities, he's seen Kakashi teaching Sasuke and learned a little bit.
Plus, Hatake Satoru spent some time training Kimimaro in Kumogakure a few years ago.
He learned quite a bit about the principles of Lightning and physical skills.
Using Lightning chakra to activate the body and nerves allows for high-speed attacks for a short period of time.
The high-speed charge starting with Chidori is also an effect of lightning attribute enhancement.
Some attacks that are faster than the sand's protection can also be dodged.
Of course, even though he has Lightning chakra, Gaara's skill set is pretty much complete, and there are no skills that require Lightning chakra.
So, he just needs to use Lightning chakra as a buff on himself.
Gaara needs to properly distribute the chakra used to activate his body and the chakra used for the sand in order to get the best effect.
And most importantly, Gaara has more than enough chakra to buff himself and go wild.
Whether it's Naruto or Gaara, as Jinchuriki of Tailed Beasts, they basically never run out of chakra.
Relatively speaking, Kakashi or people from the Uchiha clan usually wouldn't consider this.
They have more useful things to do with their limited chakra.
Hatake Satoru explained the focus of Lightning chakra training to Gaara as carefully as possible.
He also took out some physical skill material he had recorded when he was training Kimimaro to guide him.
"But training your body can easily make you tired."
"Well—even though I can control the Tailed Beast, you still can't get too tired."
Hatake Satoru had some selfish motives, after all, Gaara isn't the Kazekage yet.
Even if he becomes stronger later, if Shukaku appears frequently and damages or frightens the village during this time.
It will make the people of Sunagakure Village hesitate about Gaara becoming Kazekage.
Training and strengthening are necessary, but it's also important to slowly win over the hearts of the people.
"I understand, I will try training as appropriate."
Gaara nodded honestly, no one had ever suggested that he train his body before.
He's bad at physical skills and can't do high-intensity training, because Shukaku might come out to play when he falls asleep.
Hatake Satoru didn't expect too much from him, it's just a buff anyway, that's good enough, practice it more and more slowly.
Hozuki Mangetsu peeked out from behind a building, sighing as he looked at Hatake Satoru guiding Gaara.
"I don't have Lightning chakra, so I can't be taught by the teacher."
"I also want the teacher to teach me, instead of growing crops..."
Yamato watched Hozuki Mangetsu speechlessly from the side, don't be a weirdo here.
Why are you hiding here secretly watching Hatake Satoru teaching students!?
He's clearly the Mizukage, and though he was a bit too young during the Chunin Exams.
But on the surface, his dealings with people and his speech were like those of a stable adult.
Why does he seem like a love-starved person who wants to learn from the teacher when he's with Hatake Satoru? It's so scary.
"Stop watching, let's go, your teacher will be even happier if you can do a good job of preventing wind and sand."
Yamato took a deep breath and quickly dragged Hozuki Mangetsu away.
...
Three months later.
Hatake Satoru unfolded the letter on the crow, it was written by Shisui.
He reported on some recent changes in Kirigakure, and praised Mei Terumi's various actions with a rather gratified tone.
Their work as assistants has been greatly reduced.
Although Mei Terumi isn't as approachable as Hozuki Mangetsu, she's better at handling business and executing plans.
And as a woman, she seems to be more sensitive to economic development and culture and art, so she's basically following the path of development and openness that Hatake Satoru hinted at.
"We're much more relaxed, but we're not sure how Hozuki Mangetsu is doing now."
"If he's doing well, there's no need to say more, but if you've taught him a good lesson, be sure to write it down and make us happy!"
The last two sentences seem to have been added temporarily by Biwa Juzo, and they look rather messy.
What has Hozuki Mangetsu done to these two?
Hatake Satoru shook his head speechlessly and looked at the scenery outside the window.
It's not like the scenery has become much better, after all, Sunagakure Village's buildings are still the same dull color no matter how you look at them.
But now you can open the windows for a period of time.
Good job, Hozuki Mangetsu and Yamato have been working hard for three months, and this place can finally open its windows.
Before, if you opened the windows here, all the stuff in the room would be covered in a layer of yellow sand in less than an hour.
And the occasional strong winds would mess up the whole room.
As for Hozuki Mangetsu's current situation, Hatake Satoru got up and walked outside.
