In the dense forest of the Country of Waves…
Kakashi, who was so exhausted that he could not even stand steadily, could only rely on a pair of crutches to walk pitifully.
Naruto crossed his arms and whistled. He looked at Kakashi teasingly and said,"This style is not bad, Kakashi.”
" Cough cough…" Kakashi coughed twice and ignored Naruto's teasing."Because we don't know when the enemy will attack us, we will have to start our arduous cultivation.”
Sasuke put his hands in his pockets and said coldly,""What about the content of the training?"
"Climb the tree." Kakashi rolled his dead fish eyes as he spoke indifferently.
"Climbing trees?" Sasuke and Sakura repeated themselves. They looked at the tall trees around them, and the corners of their mouths twitched. Black lines appeared on their foreheads as they looked at Kakashi as if he was an idiot.
" Cough cough…" Kakashi coughed twice again and said,""This isn't an ordinary tree climbing. Uh…Naruto, please demonstrate.”
Naruto rolled his eyes at Kakashi and said,"Why me?"
Kakashi scratched his white fur and said,""I think you're the only one here who knows this besides me.”
"Which one of us is the teacher?"
"Me? That's why students should listen to their teachers.”Kakashi said honestly and without any conscience.
“……”
Naruto was speechless. The corner of his mouth twitched for a long time. He resisted the thought of smashing this bastard into meat paste with the big jade spiral ball. He walked to a tree and slowly walked up.
Walking up the tree trunk, Naruto gathered the chakras under his feet and hung upside down on a branch. He turned around and looked at Sasuke and Sakura, saying,""If you gather chakras at the soles of your feet like this, you won't need to use your hands to climb trees.”
Sasuke looked at Naruto coldly. He clenched his fists in his pockets and said coldly,""What's the point of this kind of cultivation?”
Sasuke really could not see how this kind of cultivation would help him become stronger. What he needed was to become stronger and stronger. Naruto had given him too much stimulation. If he continued like this, when would he be able to kill that man?!
"Ah ~~ Kakashi, explain this troublesome matter to me.”Naruto was hanging upside down from a tree, dozing off unsteadily. God knew when he would fall.
"The purpose of this kind of cultivation is to gather the right amount of chakras in the right place. Moreover, the soles of your feet are the most difficult places to gather chakras. As long as you complete this kind of cultivation, you can theoretically learn any ninjutsu.”Kakashi explained honestly," After enhancing the control of the chakra, it can also increase the power of the ninjutsu. At the same time, it can reduce the consumption of the chakra when using the ninjutsu, just like you, Sasuke.”
Kakashi looked at Sasuke and said," According to your current chakra, you can probably use the Grand Fireball Technique four times in a row. However, if you can complete this practice, you can reduce the unnecessary wastage of chakra when using ninjutsu. With the same chakra, you can use the Grand Fireball Technique five times or even more. It's enough to change the outcome of the battle.”
Duo duo!
Kakashi took out two Kuai and threw them on the grass in front of Sasuke and Sakura.""First, use Kunai to mark the place where you can climb, then try to climb higher than the mark. You might not be able to climb smoothly at first, so you rush up in one breath and see where you can reach.”
Sasuke and Sakura picked up the Kuai on the ground and made a seal, gathering the chakras under their feet. Then, they immediately chose a big tree and ran up.
Sasuke quickly rushed up the tree trunk. The name of a genius was not just for show. He ran up seven to eight meters in one breath, about two to three stories high. Then, he stepped on the bark and made a mark on the tree. Then, he flipped over and landed on the ground.
For a boy, this was a very good result. On the contrary, when Naruto climbed the tree for the first time, he fell down after only two steps.
"It's easier than I thought.”Xiao Ying's joyful voice came from another tree. She had already easily climbed to the top of the tree, nearly twenty meters above the ground.
"It's really like comparing people to death and goods to lose.”Naruto didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he watched Sakura climb up to the top of the tree with ease. He had fallen so miserably back then, but Sakura had climbed up so easily. He really couldn't compare.
"Looks like someone from the Uchiha Clan is the one at the bottom," Kakashi said.”
Kakashi, you wicked fellow…
Naruto rolled his eyes at Kakashi. He looked at Sasuke's tightly clenched fists and his eyes that were about to spit fire. This kid was obviously agitated.
"Next is the second stage of cultivation.”Naruto stood in front of the endless sea and said to Sakura," The second stage is to tread on water. The principle is the same as climbing a tree, but water is much more fragile than tree bark. Moreover, there will be changes in the water flow on the surface. The requirements for Chakra control are higher than climbing a tree. Don't worry, if you fall into the water, I will be responsible for picking you up.”
Xiao Ying was a little embarrassed after hearing this and said,""Thanks, Naruto, but can you not use the word 'fished'? I keep feeling like you're going to salvage my body.”
"Ah, you're thinking too much, Xiao Ying.”Naruto smiled and said. For some reason, he looked a little guilty. Then, he pointed at the surface of the sea." As long as you can walk 100 meters out and come back, your water treading cultivation will be considered complete.”
Sakura looked in the direction of Naruto's finger. In front of her was the deep blue sea. If she walked a hundred meters, she would definitely reach the deep sea. Could she really come back?
Gulp!
Xiao Ying fiercely swallowed her saliva and walked into the blue sea with the aura of " the wind is blowing, the water is cold, and the strong man will never return."
Naruto sat on the beach and watched Sakura walk further and further away. This scene looked like Sakura was really going to leave and never return.
Xiao Ying walked carefully, her speed much slower than climbing the tree. With every step she took, she carefully sensed the slight changes in the waves and adjusted the strength of the chakra on her feet, trying her best to maintain her body from falling into the water.
Suddenly, a small wave came crashing down!
"Ah!" Xiao Ying let out a scream. The sudden wave was not within her expectations. The balance between the chakra and the sea disappeared in an instant, and she fell into the water.
"Ah! Naruto! Help!" Xiao Ying kept flopping on the surface of the water. It wasn't that she couldn't swim, but she was so scared that she forgot everything.
Naruto jumped hard and accurately landed beside Sakura. Then, he grabbed Sakura by the collar and lifted her up from the water before jumping back to the shore.
" Cough, cough…" Xiao Ying knelt on the ground and coughed hard. She almost choked on two mouthfuls of seawater just now, which almost made Xiao Ying die of discomfort.
"Alright, alright. It's alright now." Naruto squatted down and gently patted Sakura's back to make her cough out the water.
"Thank you, Naruto."
"Save the words." Naruto smiled and let Sakura sit down.""We're teammates, after all. It's only right for us to help you. There's no need to thank me.”
"Yes." Xiao Ying nodded lightly. Her pale face suddenly turned red, and she looked a little shy. Then, she seemed to have thought of something, and her cute little face became downcast.
"Naruto, am I useless?”
Xiao Ying said with a disappointed expression. Actually, she had been holding back this sentence for a few days. She had wanted to say it since the day of the survival exercise. She had been the top student in the school's examination results, but after graduation, she had almost no performance that she could say. The survival exercise was like this, and the mission was still like this.
She was too scared to move when she faced the Ghost Brothers, and she had to ask Naruto to help her heal her injuries. When she faced Kakashi, Reiya, and Momoto, she did not show any reaction. She could only watch Kakashi, Naruto, and Sasuke fight against the strong enemies.
Naruto scratched his golden fur and said,""Do you want to hear the truth or lies?"
"Hmm…the truth."
"You're really useless."
"Naruto…you…you're annoying!”Sakura was stunned, and a coquettish expression appeared on her face. Her eyes seemed to be filled with tears as she raised her fist to hit Naruto.
Naruto dodged twice and was hit twice by Sakura. He smiled and said,""Please, you're the one who told me to tell the truth.”
Xiao Ying was stunned, and the light in her eyes dimmed. She slowly put down her fist, hugged her knees, and buried her face in her knees, looking down.
"Idiot!" Naruto placed his hand on Sakura's pink hair and said,""Xiao Ying, guess when I started cultivating?”
Sakura turned to look at Naruto and shook her head.
Naruto extended his right hand and spread out his fingers.
"Five years old?" Sakura was stunned. This was too early. After all, the age of admission to the ninja school was already six years old. Naruto had actually started cultivating at the age of five.
"That's right. My cultivation began when I was five years old.”Naruto put down his right hand and his left hand naturally wrapped around Sakura's thin shoulder. Sakura did not notice this at all." I won't settle this with you before school. Tell me, what have you been doing in school for six years?”
" I..." Sakura was speechless. She really couldn't bring herself to say it. Everyone knew what Sakura was doing in school. She was chasing after Sasuke. However, after being asked by Naruto, Sakura was really embarrassed to say such a thing.
"That's it…I've cultivated for so much longer than you. If I'm still worse than you, do you really think I'm an idiot?”Naruto stopped Sakura and looked around like a thief. Then, he sneaked up to Sakura and said,"Xiao Ying, let me tell you a secret.”
"What secret?" Sakura blinked her emerald-like eyes and looked at Naruto curiously. She did not feel that the distance between the two of them was too close.
"Actually…when I first started climbing trees to cultivate, I fell from the tree more than 200 times. I only managed to climb to the top of the tree after falling until my head was full of bruises.”
"Pfft! " Hahahaha…" Sakura could not help but burst into laughter. Thinking about Naruto's heaven-defying strength, his head covered in bruises, and how she had easily walked to the top of the tree while Naruto had practiced more than 200 times, Sakura's mood suddenly became very good.
" Alright, alright." Naruto looked helplessly at Sakura, who was laughing so hard that she was trembling."I've rested enough. It's time to start cultivating.”
"Yes." Xiao Ying replied obediently. She stood up with her hands on her knees and reached out to pat the sand on her butt.
Naruto was sitting on the ground. When he raised his head, he saw Sakura's little butt. The way Sakura bent over fully displayed the curve of a young girl's butt. Naruto's heart warmed up. He raised his hand and slapped Sakura's little butt.
Pa!
"Ah!" Sakura shrieked and jumped up like a cat with its fur standing on end as it glared at Naruto. The expression on her face was both shy and angry as she said,"What are you doing? Bad person!"
Naruto chuckled and hid his embarrassment. Then, he pointed at the " murderer " and said,"Go practice. If you can't finish it, I'll beat your ass.”
Sakura's face was even redder. She wrinkled her nose and made funny faces at Naruto before continuing her cultivation.
Naruto sat on the beach and looked at Sakura's figure. After this mission, his mood finally lifted a little. As for Sakura, her mood sank when the sunset gradually dyed the sky red because Ino had arrived.
"Naruto!"
