Chapter 113
"Good."
"The Ninjutsu I just showed you is called Wind Release: Wind Cutter Technique. Many Ninja in the Anbu can master it, so it's a relatively common Wind Release Ninjutsu."
"It's the exact opposite of your Wind Release: Great Breakthrough, requiring precise Chakracontrol."
"The key secret is to create two powerful wind pressures that intersect and rub against each other in opposite directions, achieving the effect of cutting through everything through extreme pressure differences."
"Simply put, it's like this..."
Kakashi picked up a leaf, then activated the Ninjutsu, and Naruto saw the leaf being deftly cut in two, splitting into two halves and flying off in opposite directions.
"Although this technique is common, it's not easy to master."
"Controlling two Wind Release Chakra streams in opposite directions, and making them precisely intersect and cut, requires very high Chakracontrol..."
Naruto, full of confidence, exclaimed, "Oh! I understand! I'll start training immediately!"
Kakashi smiled slightly, blowing away two leaves.
"Wrong, Naruto-kun."
"My special training for you is..."
"I want you to train both Wind Release: Great Breakthrough and Wind Release: Wind Cutter Technique simultaneously!"
Naruto was stunned: "...What?!"
Kakashi said, "Simply put, since you chose to have both, you must master the mysteries of both routes simultaneously. If you cannot train both Ninjutsu at the same time, then the Wind Release Chakra Mode you want to develop and create in the future will absolutely be impossible to achieve."
Naruto quickly understood.
This was his unique special training!
Training two completely different styles of Wind Release Ninjutsu simultaneously!
This was unprecedented... However... Narutoquickly regained his confidence: "Hehe, I understand, Kakashi-sensei, isn't it just training two Ninjutsu at the same time?!"
"Leave it to me, no problem!"
Kakashi put his hands in his pockets and said, "This special training isn't that simple, Naruto-kun..."
"My requirement is that both Wind Release Ninjutsu must be perfectly mastered within three days!"
"The condition is..."
"You can use Shadow Clone to assist in training, but neither the main body nor the Shadow Clonecan continuously train the same Ninjutsu; instead, it must be..."
"Train Wind Release: Great Breakthrough once, then train Wind Release: Wind Cutter Techniqueonce!"
Naruto's head began to ache just from listening.
He clutched his head with both hands, eyes wide: "Hey, hey, hey, Kakashi-sensei, aren't you afraid I'll go insane if I train like this?!"
Kakashi smiled slightly: "Naruto-kun, this training is indeed incredibly difficult, but if it's you..."
"I believe you can do it."
Naruto's eyes lit up immediately; receiving Kakashi-sensei's approval instantly filled him with a warm feeling.
For a moment, a surge of passion rushed through him, restoring Naruto's confidence.
"Oh! Kakashi-sensei! I understand!"
"Within three days, I will definitely master both of these Ninjutsu simultaneously!"
Chapter 102: Demon Zabuza Momochi Attacks! Naruto's Explosive Entrance!!!
Although Kakashi-sensei's training plan was extremely bizarre.
The system seemed to approve of it greatly.
It immediately followed suit, issuing its own mission.
[Please, Host, begin training two different Wind Release Ninjutsu as soon as possible, according to Kakashi Hatake's requirements, and you must complete it within three days, otherwise you will be subjected to the system's Lightning Releasebaptism!]
Naruto felt a warmth in his heart from Kakashi's approval, and the seemingly impossible task now seemed possible.
Now, with the added new buff from system big brother, he was even more filled with fighting spirit.
"Let's begin!"
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
Naruto immediately activated the Shadow Clone Technique, creating about ten Shadow Clones.
He didn't dare create too many, as training with Shadow Clone still carried risks.
The main body and the Shadow Clones all shouted in unison, beginning an unprecedented chaos.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
"Wind Release: Wind Cutter Technique!"
Two completely different Ninjutsu, one at a time, trained alternately, which meant continuously refining and calling upon Chakra.
This level of difficulty was simply unimaginable!
It was like asking you to swing a sledgehammer with all your might, and then meticulously thread a needle, and to do this back and forth continuously... Even if Naruto was a battle-hardened (system-tested) warrior, even if he had developed a habit of disciplined asceticism, facing such an inhumane training method, he quickly became miserable... Naruto's main body and Shadow Clones simultaneously clutched their heads, all panting and complaining.
"Ahhh—"
"This is simply impossible!"
"My head is about to split open!"
Originally, for abilities that required cooperation, such as the Wind Release: Gale Palm combined with Shuriken Technique taught by Asuma-sensei, Naruto could use two Shadow Clones to assist.
But now, even the Shadow Clones had to train alternately, making it meaningless to create more Shadow Clones.
Instead, it would only increase the difficulty.
Kakashi lay leisurely on a large rock nearby, reading a book.
Tazuna, however, frowned.
"Kakashi, Naruto-kun's training seems very difficult..."
"He looks very distressed..."
Kakashi didn't even look up, saying, "Well, if he wants to achieve goals beyond ordinary people, he naturally has to undergo training beyond ordinary people. That's very normal."
Tazuna sighed: "Indeed, those who can become Ninja must endure what others cannot..."
He suddenly sensed something, looked back, but saw nothing.
Kakashi said, "It's your grandson, Inari. He's been secretly following us for a long time."
"Inari?"
"That child, he still can't let go after all..."
"However, perhaps Naruto-kun can help him regain his belief. Seeing Naruto-kun's efforts, perhaps he can also figure out some things..."
Kakashi smiled slightly: "Naruto-kun indeed has that ability..."
Inari hid secretly behind a tree, watching the struggling Naruto-kun in shock.
A dozen of Naruto's main body and Shadow Clones, though already drenched in sweat and disheveled, showed no sign of giving up. After a few complaints, they immediately resumed their training.
The power of Wind Release: Great Breakthroughroared, sweeping across the ground and shaking tree trunks.
Wind Release: Wind Cutter Technique, on the other hand, was required by Kakashi to start by cutting a small leaf.
Naruto first roared, Chakra bursting forth, and the wind howled.
Then he had to hold his breath and concentrate, manipulating Chakra as delicate as an embroidery needle, and under precise control, it transformed into two opposing air currents, intersecting and cutting, to sever a small leaf.
Naruto's clothes were quickly soaked with sweat.
He directly took off his Ninja uniform and continued training shirtless.
Sweat poured down like rain.
Inari watched this scene, as if seeing his father from back then... He, too, was like this, leading everyone to build dams, fish, and even... resist Gato's tyranny under the sun.
"Hmph—"
Inari stubbornly snorted.
"What's the point?"
"In the end, don't you still have to give in?"
"There's no such thing as heroes in this world..."
Naruto remained silent, only continuing to train... On the other side.
Sasuke was still frantically running, sprinting, taking a running start, and climbing trees.
He wielded the Kunai in his hand, and each time he surpassed his previous height, he would cut a line on the tree trunk, leaving a new record.
But from the initial rapid improvement, by the afternoon, progress had become increasingly difficult.
And he was still very, very far from the top of the big tree... Sasuke panted heavily, also sweating profusely, his face growing paler.
"Damn it!"
"I never thought that a mere tree-climbing training would be so difficult..."
"Naruto-kun has already gone too far ahead of me..."
"What should I do? I've already boasted in front of him. If I can't do it, won't he mock me every day from now on?!"
Sasuke couldn't help but clench his fists.
Suddenly, he saw Hinata training to walk on water by the river nearby...
Hinata was also working extremely hard, repeatedly releasing Chakra to maintain it under her feet, then trying to step on the water's surface.
After all, she came from a distinguished family and had already undergone Chakra control training. Although she hadn't perfectly mastered it, she was gradually able to stand on the water's surface.
Sasuke looked around. Naruto-kun and Kakashiwere not there... And, they shouldn't suddenly appear either.
After all, Naruto-kun had to train, and Kakashi still had to protect Tazuna.
If that was the case... He temporarily stopped his training, awkwardly walked forward, and approached Hinata.
He watched Hinata, who could already stand on the water's surface, though a bit unsteady, diligently trying to maintain her balance... He hesitated to speak.
Hinata's mind was completely focused on her training, wanting to quickly finish walking on water and then 'reunite' with Naruto-kun, so she naturally didn't notice Sasuke.
However... "Ah—!"
Hinata's Chakra underfoot became unstable, and she fell into the water once again.
She wasn't discouraged, shook her head, and immediately prepared to train again.
It was then that she noticed Sasuke watching her from the riverbank.
Hinata's face immediately flushed: "Sas, Sasuke, is something wrong?"
