Chapter 148
"Thank you, Pervy Sage!"
"I can definitely do it!"
"Two days, to perfectly master the Sanpō Fūin!"
Jiraiya patted his head: "Good, go for it."
Naruto felt the warmth of his palm and couldn't help but chuckle, then immediately threw himself into strenuous training... "Sanpō Fūin..."
"Sanpō Fūin—"
"Sanpō Fūin!"
...Just as Naruto was diligently training with Jiraiya.
Elsewhere.
Sasuke was panting heavily, feeling the intense pain in his eyes and the stinging sensation from every cell in his body, as if he was on the verge of collapse at any moment.
"Again, Sasuke."
Kakashi Hatake, however, was merely lying leisurely on a large rock, flipping through his make-out paradise, and said casually.
Sasuke had already reached his limit and fell to his knees with a thud.
Kakashi did not show any sympathy.
"Sasuke, the Sharingan's ocular power, on one hand, is enhanced by intense stimulation, and on the other hand, it can only be improved by constantly pushing it beyond its limits through continuous training."
"Every training session you have now, every time you approach your limit, is the beginning of an increase in your ocular power."
"Moreover, combined with the Lightning ReleaseNinjutsu I taught you, it's like killing two birds with one stone, simultaneously boosting both the Sharingan's ocular power and the Ninjutsu's might..."
Sasuke struggled to stand up again, but his face was deathly pale, and his body was already a mess.
Kakashi then said: "Do you want to lose to Naruto?"
Upon hearing this, Sasuke seemed to instantly get a boost of adrenaline, suddenly erupting with new strength.
"Ah ah ah ah ah—"
His Sharingan's ocular power burst forth again, and a brilliant bolt of lightning erupted from his hand, instantly exploding!
"Chidori!!!"
Rumble—
Boom!!!
With a single strike, the violent Lightning Releasepower directly cut through and pierced a giant rock!
Chapter 122: Heavenly Cover Formation! Adamantine Sealing Chains! Strength Approaching Jonin!
Kakashi Hatake also temporarily put down his book and nodded approvingly.
"Sasuke, well done."
"Indeed, you are the most suitable person to learn Chidori..."
"Not only do you also possess the Sharingan, but you also have the same Lightning Release Chakraas me."
Sasuke was panting, but as he looked at the residual lightning in his hand and the pierced rock before him, a sense of pride and honor couldn't help but rise within him.
"Chidori, huh?"
"Kakashi-sensei, is this..."
Kakashi smiled slightly, his right eye curving into a crescent moon.
"Mm-hmm, although I'm known as the Copy Ninja, I also have my own original Ninjutsu..."
"Chidori is my signature move."
"How is it? Isn't it amazing?"
Sasuke was silent for a moment, then sincerely said: "Thank you."
In truth, he fully understood Kakashi-sensei's painstaking efforts.
Imparting the control and usage of the Sharingan, along with his most prized Chidori, was nothing more than to make him stronger quickly and to prevent him from being swayed by Orochimaru... Kakashi said indifferently: "Well, there's no need for thanks between a teacher and student."
"As long as you can become stronger, that will be my greatest thanks."
Sasuke nodded: "I understand."
He immediately plunged back into strenuous training... Hyuga Clan, Clan Head's Residence.
"Hinata, I never thought you could create your own Ninjutsu; this set of Guardian Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palm is quite brilliant!"
"Although it can't compare to the absolute defense of Rotation, it can handle more situations, and it doesn't require a massive amount of Chakra like Rotation does."
"Well done, truly my daughter!"
It was the first time Hinata had ever heard her father praise her so much.
Tears welled up in her eyes.
"Father..."
Hyuga Hiashi said in a deep voice: "However, don't get too arrogant!"
"Kakashi is right, this Guardian Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palm has sufficient defense but lacks offense. While it can make you invincible, it may not necessarily defeat the enemy."
"What you need to do is to maintain your defensive foundation, use the Byakugan's insight to discern the enemy's weaknesses, and then unleash a single strike to defeat them!"
"What I'm going to specially train you in now is, firstly, to enhance your Byakugan's ocular power, and secondly, to precisely strike pressure points, the ability to defeat an enemy with one move!"
"Furthermore, if the enemy knows the Hyuga Clan's information, they will keep their distance and attack us with long-range attacks. In such a situation, besides finding ways to close the distance, we can also counter with our own long-range attacks."
"This move is called..."
"Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm!"
Hinata's heart tightened; her father had indeed considered everything thoroughly, tailoring every aspect for her.
She quickly said: "Yes, Father!"
"I... I will work hard!"
"Mm."
Hyuga Hiashi looked at his gradually growing daughter, and an endless stream of emotions welled up in his heart.
Although abandoned by the clan, this daughter had, after that, bloomed with brilliant light... Perhaps this was what they called breaking one's own destiny... Hinata, you are more outstanding and stronger than your father imagined... This perseverance and courage are far greater than mine, your father's...
Two days later, night had fallen.
Naruto was still in strenuous training.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
"Sanpō Fūin!"
Jiraiya was using his binoculars to gather material, but unfortunately, it was already late, and he couldn't see any sign of people.
Just as he was feeling frustrated.
"I succeeded!"
"I finally succeeded!"
Before Jiraiya could turn around, Naruto had already taken the opportunity to come behind him, grinned, and directly activated the Sealing Technique on him.
"Sanpō Fūin!"
Immediately, Naruto and two Shadow Clones simultaneously activated the Sealing Technique, and lines of runes quickly spread, instantly connecting together. A transparent green Chakrapyramid barrier suddenly rose from the ground, instantly taking shape and firmly sealing Jiraiyawithin it!
Jiraiya was startled: "You really did it?!"
He looked at the barrier around him, tentatively touched it with his hand, and indeed, it was difficult to break through... "Naruto, this guy, is really amazing..."
"Is it because of the Uzumaki Clan's bloodline?"
"No, although the Uzumaki Clan is indeed skilled in Sealing Technique, that has nothing to do with one's physique; these are entirely Naruto's own talent and effort..."
Jiraiya burst out laughing: "Well done, Naruto!"
Naruto also dispelled the Sanpō Fūin, utterly delighted, and scratched his head, laughing, waiting for Jiraiya's praise.
Jiraiya indeed praised: "Naruto, I originally thought that if you could learn both the One Thread Light Formation and the Sanpō Fūin within a month, you would already be considered a genius."
"I didn't expect you to master both in just three or four days!"
Jiraiya's heart stirred.
This was much faster than he had anticipated... However, this might not necessarily be a bad thing.
"Naruto, next I have two final Ninjutsu to teach you."
"If you can master both of these, let alone the Chunin Exams, your strength should be on par with a Jonin."
Naruto was stunned, then overjoyed.
"That's great, Pervy Sage!"
"What is it, what is it, what is it!"
Jiraiya smiled slightly: "The first Ninjutsu isn't entirely a Sealing Technique, but leans more towards a Barrier Ninjutsu."
"Its name is, Barrier: Heavenly Cover Formation!"
"This is a perception-type Barrier Ninjutsu. Once cast, it can release a spherical, invisible barrier that spreads out, capable of perceiving all movements within it, such as enemy traces and actions."
"This is also one of my Proud moves (signature moves), which I have never taught to any other disciples."
Naruto's heart filled with joy.
"Pervy Sage! This Ninjutsu is perfect for me!"
"You don't know, the other two members of our Team 7, Hinata and Sasuke, one has the Byakuganand the other has the Sharingan. In terms of perception, let alone comparing to them, I basically have none at all!"
"If I have this Ninjutsu, I won't need them; I can perceive the enemy's situation myself!"
Jiraiya nodded: "Indeed, however, this Ninjutsuconsumes a considerable amount of Chakra. Even if you master it, you can't keep it activated constantly. You can only use it when dealing with certain special enemies."
"Mm, I'll remember that!"
"And what's the other Ninjutsu?!"
Jiraiya looked towards Konoha Village in the distance, his gaze falling on the towering HokageRock sculptures.
"The last Ninjutsu is called Adamantine Sealing Chains, which is one of the strongest Sealing Technique of the Uzumaki Clan."
"Its power is so immense that it can even seal the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox within you, which is known as the strongest Tailed Beast, a disaster-level entity!"
"However, this Ninjutsu is extremely difficult and by no means easy to learn. The most important thing is..."
"I don't know this Ninjutsu either!"
Naruto: "..."
"If you don't know it either, Pervy Sage, how are you going to teach me?!"
Jiraiya burst out laughing: "Although I don't know it, I know where to get the scroll for this Sealing Technique. At that time, you'll need to comprehend it yourself."
