He was slightly less shocked, but he couldn't help but nod in agreement.
Kakashi stopped on the tree trunk, looked down and called out to them, "Through this method, you can train your chakra control. As long as you can skillfully use chakra to step on the tree trunk, the power and accuracy of your ninjutsu will be greatly improved in the future."
"I see!" Sakura suddenly realized and nodded excitedly.
Sasuke's eyes lit up.
It must be said that Kakashi's explanation hit his weakness right away.
If he can make up for his weaknesses through this kind of training, it will greatly benefit his improvement.
With this in mind, Sasuke could no longer suppress the urge to try it.
After Kakashi finished speaking, he leaped down from the tree.
Before he could even tell the students to start practicing, Sakura volunteered and rushed towards the big tree: "Kakashi-sensei, may I begin?"
Without waiting for an answer, she lifted one foot and carefully stepped onto the tree trunk...
Meanwhile, Sasuke was also preparing to begin his attempt.
Compared to his companions' dedication, Naruto remained standing still, his face full of indifference.
Having witnessed his own glory in his dream just yesterday, he now looks down on such "tricks" to some extent.
His mind, however, had already wandered elsewhere.
If only we could train with those super cool techniques from my dream last night, this tree-climbing is totally lame...
Kakashi noticed Naruto's commotion and couldn't help but chuckle when he saw Naruto still standing there in a daze with a look of disgust on his face.
However, he wasn't angry. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and beckoned to Naruto: "Hey, Naruto, come over here for a second."
"what?"
Naruto grumbled as he walked up to Kakashi, looking somewhat impatient.
Kakashi didn't say anything, but suddenly raised his right hand and placed it in front of Naruto's eyes, smiling mysteriously: "Watch closely."
The next second, a ball of rapidly spinning azure chakra condensed and took shape in his palm.
Chapter 47 Kakashi-sensei actually knows the Rasengan?
Rasengan!
Naruto's eyes widened instantly, and he seemed to be struck by lightning.
froze.
"This, this is-"
He stared intently at the Rasengan in Kakashi's hand, hardly believing his eyes.
Kakashi-sensei can use the Rasengan?!
"Snapped!"
Kakashi casually crushed the Rasengan, then looked at the dumbfounded Naruto with a smile: "So, are you motivated now? When you can train to climb to the top of a tree, I'll teach you the rest of the Rasengan training method!"
"Really?!"
Naruto snapped out of his daze and exclaimed with a mixture of surprise and delight.
Seeing Kakashi nod and promise so seriously, Naruto felt his blood boil and he felt full of energy!
"Great!" He clenched his fist, his fighting spirit rekindled in his eyes. "Kakashi-sensei, just you wait! Climbing trees is a piece of cake!"
With that, Naruto turned around and charged towards another large tree beside him, shouting, "Watch this!"
He leaped up, channeled his chakra into the soles of his feet, and stomped hard on the tree trunk.
However, a muffled "thump" was heard.
Naruto hadn't even taken two steps when the chakra output from his feet suddenly went out of control, and he fell off the tree.
Naruto winced in pain, but still refused to admit defeat: "It's nothing! This little pain is nothing!" He wiped the dirt from the corner of his mouth and charged at the tree trunk again.
This time he was more cautious, concentrating his chakra as steadily as possible before carefully attaching it to the tree trunk...
One step, two steps, three steps...
"Haha! Success!"
Naruto laughed excitedly.
However, before his laughter subsided, he slipped and fell from about half a tree's height.
"No, let's try again!" Naruto rubbed his sore bottom and continued trying without being discouraged.
Stimulated by the Rasengan, Naruto seemed to be injected with adrenaline, throwing himself into training with high morale.
At this point, all three members of Class 7 had joined the "tree-climbing army".
For a time, the training ground was filled with the sounds of "thump thump" as people landed, the "rustling" of people stepping on trees, and Naruto's defiant shouts.
"Damn it, I failed again!"
"Ouch—that hurts!"
"Come again!"
Kakashi, holding a copy of "Icha Icha Paradise," leaned against a tree, flipping through it with great interest, while keeping an eye on his disciple's performance out of the corner of his eye.
Seeing that the three little ones had almost mastered it.
His expression turned serious, and suddenly, Kakashi vanished from the spot in a flash.
As for the three little ones, they practiced until sunset before gradually stopping.
They were exhausted from a day of practice.
Sakura was exceptionally talented; in less than half a day, she was able to freely climb up and down the tree trunk and even picked a few leaves from the top.
Sasuke followed closely behind. After repeatedly trying and expending a lot of chakra, he was finally able to walk upside down on the tree trunk for a short distance, but he was still far from reaching the top of the tree.
Naruto was initially at the bottom of the pack, but with his immense chakra and sheer determination, he finally caught up and was able to climb to within five or six meters of the treetop.
The sun was setting, and the sky was gradually darkening.
When Sakura climbed down from the tree, she plopped down on the ground, panting heavily: "Ugh, I feel like my legs don't even belong to me anymore..."
She looked down and patted her legs, feeling both happy and tired.
She felt a great sense of accomplishment after a day of fruitful results.
Sasuke stopped halfway up the tree, then gracefully flipped down to the ground, his forehead covered in fine sweat.
He looked up at the treetops, which were still some distance away, and couldn't help but clench his fist.
"We must master it completely tomorrow."
Naruto slid down the tree, panting heavily, and collapsed onto the ground, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"Phew, so tired..." But he had a smile on his face. He was quite satisfied with catching up with Sasuke today. "Hehe, once I learn how to climb trees, I can start learning the Rasengan!"
Sasuke gently moved his slightly sore arm.
After a moment of silence, he coughed lightly, as if it were an accident: "Ahem... well, it's getting late. I'm a little hungry, I'll go back and eat first, and practice again tomorrow."
After he finished speaking, he casually looked away.
Sakura couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard that.
Sasuke's excuse is so cute.
"Hmph." Sure enough, Naruto rolled his eyes and disdainfully exposed him, "Just say you want to go back in your dreams! Stop pretending to be hungry, tch!"
"Who are you saying wants to dream?!" Sasuke blushed upon hearing this and hurriedly retorted, "I don't want to! I think you're the one who's too impatient!"
"That's right, that's exactly what I want!" Naruto readily admitted, shrugging and grinning. "Unlike you, you clearly want it to the death but refuse to admit it, so boring!"
After saying that, he put his hands on his head, gave a soft snort, and swaggered away from Sasuke. "Alright, alright, I'm going back to rest too. See you tomorrow..."
Watching Naruto's departing figure, Sasuke was so angry he gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only turn his head away sullenly.
Sakura covered her mouth and chuckled, shaking her head and sighing, "Really, you two..."
She knew that these two idiots actually had the same expectations as each other, one was just straightforward and the other was arrogant.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, the three members of Class 7 dispersed, each lost in their own thoughts.
Naruto ran home and quickly boiled water to make a cup of instant noodles as soon as he entered the house.
After hastily finishing dinner and quickly washing up, I collapsed onto the bed with a thud and eagerly pulled the blanket over myself.
"Ugh... Go to sleep, go to sleep!"
Naruto closed his eyes, his mind filled with the wonderful scenes of the dream world, and he couldn't wait to fall asleep.
He slightly opened one eye and muttered again, "Please, please, please don't make it so dark and empty!"
It's quiet at night.
Naruto tossed and turned in bed a few times before finally falling into a deep sleep, filled with anticipation.
After an unknown amount of time, his eyes suddenly lit up.
The familiar pitch-black theater has reappeared!
Naruto sat in a soft chair, surrounded by the dimly lit audience seats and the huge white screen in front of him.
He subconsciously looked around and realized that Sasuke wasn't in the spot next to him, and then he knew what was going on.
"what?!"
Naruto suddenly stood up and shouted at the empty stands, "Why?! Why is it always Sasuke?!"
[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +200!]
"Pfft..."
A soft laugh came from the side.
Naruto turned his head and saw Sakura covering her mouth, smiling at him: "Naruto, you're here!"
Reflected on the sunny and cheerful Naruto from her dream last night, Sakura now finds Naruto much more agreeable.
