Beside them.
Sakura was also a bit bewildered, completely unprepared for Naruto to achieve this level. However, because she liked Sasuke, she chimed in, "Maybe Naruto just got lucky."
"Lucky?" Sasuke immediately looked at Kakashi upon hearing this, a hint of anticipation in his heart, hoping it was truly just luck.
After all, Naruto used to be a dead last, while he was the top student. The feeling of being surpassed by the dead last was extremely unpleasant.
So, when he heard Sakura say it was luck, a glimmer of hope arose in Sasuke's heart.
But ideals are full, and reality is harsh.
Kakashi shook his head without hesitation, refuting, "No, Naruto did indeed do it. To find his real body, I spent ten minutes, and still, I couldn't find him."
"This..."
Sasuke was stunned when he heard this. The hope that had just risen was instantly extinguished, and his heart felt utterly chilled.
Instinctively, Sasuke looked at Sakura again, hoping she could bring him hope once more. However, Sakura was also silent, unable to offer any more rebuttals.
Seeing this, Sasuke clenched his fists tightly, knowing that he had indeed been surpassed by Naruto this time. While feeling upset, he secretly swore to himself.
He vowed that he would definitely become stronger in the future, that he absolutely could not be surpassed by that dead-last, Naruto.
"Don't be discouraged, Sasuke. Although Naruto is very good, you're not bad either. When you grow up, you'll definitely be even stronger," Kakashi comforted him.
"Really, Kakashi-sensei?" Sasuke asked urgently.
"Of course. You are an Uchiha, possessing a powerful bloodline. Your future achievements are limitless. Alright, don't dwell on these unpleasant things. I'll treat you to some delicious bento boxes."
"Mm-hm, thank you, Kakashi-sensei. We haven't eaten yet, and we're already starving," Sasuke said happily.
The three of them walked towards the monument, and Kakashi said again, "These two bento boxes were specially purchased from a high-end restaurant. They're incredibly delicious. You two are in for a treat. Naruto won't get to eat any; leaving early was definitely a mistake."
Kakashi smiled, making Sasuke and Sakura even happier.
However, when they arrived at the monument and saw the empty bento boxes, their faces turned green.
"Naruto!!!"
Naruto was heading towards the small, rocky mountain in the northeast. He had originally planned to go home, but he found it was still early. He decided to experiment with his Ki Blast and Kamehameha. After all, he wasn't hungry.
A few minutes later, Naruto arrived at the small, rocky mountain.
The small mountain was close to the forest, and rarely visited by people. With many trees, it offered good concealment, making it perfect for training.
Of course, he still needed to do a necessary check.
Naruto carefully sensed the surrounding area. Seeing that there was no one around, he then mobilized the "Ki" within his body to begin his training.
Silently raising his hands, two white Ki Blasts condensed in his palms, emitting a faint white light and also containing a strong energy.
Looking at the Ki Blasts in his palms, which contained pure power, Naruto didn't hesitate. He directly released the Ki Blasts towards a tree about ten meters away.
Boom! Boom!
Two explosions rang out, followed by the sound of trees shattering and falling to the ground. Naruto looked at the tree that had been blown in half, watching the smoke and dust in the air, and nodded with satisfaction.
This ability was much stronger than the Rasengan. Besides being more powerful, he could also release it remotely and consecutively.
It could be said that the Ki Blast was quite effective in clearing out cannon fodder.
"Continue."
Naruto didn't stop training, but quickly condensed Ki Blasts, pushing them out one after another with both hands.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The continuous explosions echoed, and a large area of the forest was blasted with countless craters under the Ki Blast attacks, even shattering countless trees, turning them into ruins.
A few minutes later.
Looking at the messy forest, Naruto nodded in satisfaction, "This is a really good ability. Next is the Kamehameha."
Naruto turned his head and looked towards the small stone mountain. The stones of the small mountain were very solid, making it perfect for using a stronger Kamehameha.
Without hesitation, Naruto slightly bent his legs, leaned forward, and made the starting pose for the Kamehameha with his hands, simultaneously circulating the Ki within his body. Finally, he thrust his hands forward fiercely.
Boom!
Another loud explosion echoed, and countless stones shattered, flying in all directions. At the point of impact on the small stone mountain, a stone pit about two meters deep appeared.
Naruto withdrew his hands, looked at the two-meter-deep stone pit, and smiled slightly.
"Not bad, not bad. I only developed the Kamehameha yesterday, and today I can blast through two meters of the stone mountain. My progress is even faster than I imagined."
Naruto really liked this kind of progress because he could use it to judge his own strength.
Like in Dragon Ball, after Goku saw the Kamehameha, he used it and destroyed a car. But he could blast through two meters of the stone mountain.
This was a good way to estimate that his Kamehameha was stronger than Goku's at the time. He had only condensed his blood into a bloodline yesterday, and today he had made such great progress. This proved that his bloodline was really strong.
"Could my bloodline be similar to Broly's powerful one?"
Naruto murmured excitedly. If it truly was such a bloodline, he couldn't imagine his future achievements.
He remembered watching Dragon Ball in his previous life, where Broly had once fought against both Goku and Vegeta, two Super Saiyan Blues.
After those two escaped, Broly then beat up Frieza, the Emperor of the Universe. Even after Frieza transformed into his Golden Form, he was still beaten back to his original state.
The large-scale battle scene at the time was very shocking. This was still when Broly hadn't completely mastered his own power. If he thoroughly mastered his power, his combat power would be unimaginable.
"I wonder if my bloodline is similar? One-tenth is still too little. I must obtain more experience points. Of course, the necessary training is still needed, and some techniques must be developed, such as the Levitation Technique."
Naruto thought for a moment and decided to focus on gaining experience points and supplement it with training. Only in this way could he improve himself better.
"I'll train my physique first today, to see how much benefit an afternoon of training can bring me. Only in this way can I better judge my situation."
Thinking it, Naruto turned and went to a large stone. He mobilized all his strength and began physical training by carrying the stone.
The large stone was very heavy, and carrying it was extremely strenuous. However, Naruto still chose to lift it without hesitation, and then walked forward with difficulty.
As a mixed-blood Saiyan, even if he only had one-tenth of the bloodline, he was not comparable to ordinary people. He believed that as long as he was willing to put in the effort, he would definitely have a good improvement.
Silently carrying the large stone forward, the sweat on his forehead began to drip down his cheeks, soaking his clothes. But he didn't care at all, instead continuing to work hard at his training.
And this training lasted for a whole afternoon.
The sun set, and the sky was filled with red clouds.
Naruto, who was training, suddenly sensed that someone was coming from afar.
He quickly dropped the large stone and used a Ki Blast to destroy the area. After making sure there were no traces left, he quickly flashed away.
Five minutes later.
Four figures strolled leisurely towards the area. These four weren't anyone else; they were the Ino-Shika-Cho team and their teacher, Asuma.
"Where are you taking us, Asuma-sensei?" Ino asked curiously.
"To Little Stone Mountain, of course. You've probably heard of it," Asuma replied with a smile.
"I have. They say the stones there are very hard. Unfortunately, after inspection, it was found to have no development value," Shikamaru Nara said calmly.
"That's right. Though Little Stone Mountain has no development value, you can train here and use the stones to test your strength."
"Like me, I often use these stones to test myself. My Chakra blades can easily leave marks on the stones, even piercing them ten centimeters deep," Asuma said proudly.
"So that's how it is. But we're too weak; I'm afraid we can't leave such deep marks," Shikamaru Nara shook his head helplessly.
"It's okay, your strength is still too weak. It's impossible to leave such deep marks in a short time. Just keep working hard. Even I took a long time to reach this level," Asuma comforted them.
"Alright, we'll work hard," the Ino-Shika-Cho team nodded firmly.
After they finished speaking, the four of them continued towards the small stone mountain and soon arrived nearby.
However, looking at the chaotic ground, they were somewhat bewildered. When they saw the direction of the small stone mountain, their pupils suddenly shrank.
