After the trio were done dealing with the enemy chunin, they dispelled their ninjutsus, and gathered every ninja tool that they could.
When they had gathered all of the salvageable ninja tools, they gathered outside the camp.
As a result the first thing Hiramasu asked them was.
"What did the first fight against a ninjas feel like?"
Like Hiramasus had predicted, his students immediately looked at him with faces full of black lines.
Hyori was the first to reply.
"Ninjas my ass, they were ordinary people who had the physical strength of a Chunin."
Though the other two didn't comment, they agreed with Hyori's comment.
"Hehe, you're right, and you overestimated your enemies this time.
Even though the chunin had a far stronger physique than any one of you, he would have easily been defeated by any one of you.
Do you know the reason for this even without him knowing any jutsus?"
Hiramasu asked the trio a question.
Yujiro almost immediately replied.
"It's because he was like a wild beast, attacking me instinctively, even with him being physically much stronger than me, with the speed boost I got from the lightning body jutsu, I could only fight him evenly.
With the only reason for this being that he basically had no taijutsu technique.
Though it would probably have worked if he was far stronger than me.
Even Hyori with the worst physique in our squad would have been able to delay and create an opening for herself to use genjutsu or ninjutsu to land a devastating blow.
Though she would have probably had some injuries, unlike the current situation where we created a beneficial terrain for ourselves.
Along with the minimal teamwork we could easily beat him."
As Yujiro made his analysis Hiramasu was appraising his response.
'Hmm, very good analysis, although he missed a couple of points, this is very good for his age.'
Afer Yujiro finished his analysis Hiramasu's answer made the three kids reflect.
"A very good analysis, though there are no problems with the analysis in our current circumstances.
I will give you a warning.
I will paint you a circumstance. Imagine that after your initial probing instead of you easily finishing him off with your terrain and numbers advatage.
When Yujiro started fighting him with more aggression, the opponent simply blew up. Killing Yujiro and injuring you two with him.
As for if this is possible, during the third great ninja war.
Kumokagure released many of its prisoners as bandits to enemy nationals, and like in our case, a genin squad is tasked to take care of them, and just as they are done their enemies bodies blow up killing the genin squad in the process.
As for the reason, can any of you tell me?"
After thinking for the reason for a while, Yujiro asked a question.
"Is it possible that fuinjutsu was used to make their prisoners as suicide bombers without their knowledge?"
After Mujin and Hyori heard what Yujiro said they were extremely surprised.
Before Hiramasu could answer, Mujin immediately asked a question.
"Is that really possible? All I have heard of fuinjutsu to be capable is to make seals like sealing scrolls and explosion tags.
So how would that be even possible?"
Hiramasu patiently explained.
"Like you said Kumokagure used explosion seals, just like the ones used in explosion tags, to inscribe those seals on the prisoners bodies, and later used multiple other seals to create a trigger seal that would activate when the person it was inscribed was in fatal danger, after which they use other seals to hide everything so much even that even the prisoners don't know that they have become living bombs."
"But sensei, how can seals know what is lethal danger, and activate?"
After Hiramasu finished his explanation Hyori poked at the disciseponcy at the explanation.
"It's because they use certain other triggers, in example, when the prisoners chakra is reduced below a certain level, or when their heart beat exceed certain range."
Hiramasu explained in detail.
After a moment of mulling Yujiro asked another question.
"So why did you allow us to fight like that against that Chunin?
Does Konoha have the ability to sense whether or not there are such seals?"
After Hiramasu heard this he was pleased.
'Finslly they asked such a question, now I can encourage them to learn more of fuinjutsu.'
"It's not that we have a method to sense the seals themselves, but the fact that when you spend a lot of time with high level seals, you can start to sense such seals instinctively.
But there is a limit to this, after all if you already know that a place has a lot of seals, you can start to think that it's expected, when in reality, other people can use those already known seals to hide more seals."
Yujiro immediately had a gleam in his eyes when he heard this and immediately asked.
"Has Konoha or any other villages used this method to cause losses to other villages?"
This time Hiramasu was actually surprised that Yujiro mentioned this.
After a while he answered.
"Konoha has used this tactic in the past and it caused particularly brutal damage against Suna and Iwa during the second great ninja war.
We retreated multiple times from beneficial positions and fed false information to the enemy villages that we had enormous losses.
As such like blind animals, both Suna and Iwa rushed in and used our previous bases as their own, and later on we launched a massive offensive against them which forced the injured back to their camps.
Most of the injured were Chunin and genins however, and with the rapid assault they didn't have time to transport the injured back to their villages.
As such when we finally used the hidden explosion seals in the bases, we killed of a massive portion of their Chunin and genins, essentially killing off their younger generation."
