"Huh? This is quite simple, isn't it?"
Suddenly, Sakura's voice rang out from another tree.
The three looked over to see Sakura already sitting on a high, thick branch.
"Sakura, you're amazing!"
Seeing this, Naruto's face paled in shock and he cried out in amazement, but he still felt very uncomfortable.
Being surpassed by the girl he liked was more upsetting than being surpassed by Sasuke!
"Well done, Sakura..."
Sasuke, who knew the plot, said calmly, without feeling discouraged.
"It seems Sakura is more of a genius after all..."
Kakashi praised her, but he didn't truly believe it.
Naruto and Sasuke both had several times more chakra than Sakura... naturally, it was harder for them to adapt to this training.
However, Sakura's chakra control talent was also quite outstanding!
"Well, you guys can train here... I'll come check on your progress this afternoon and point out any issues."
Kakashi pulled out his little red book and said lazily, his figure disappearing in an instant... Within the Leaf Village, there was no need to worry about their safety!
He'd rather find a comfortable spot to nap and enjoy his reading.
"Um, Sasuke-kun... I have some training tips, would you like to hear them?"
Sakura, who had just been praised by the three, bravely approached Sasuke and said softly.
She was completely unaware that this action made Naruto's eyes blaze with fury.
[Detected Sakura's suggestion, triggering D-rank reward.
Quest: Listen to experience tips; Reward: Tree climbing training effect doubled...]
Hearing the prompt in his ear, Sasuke's lips curved into a smile, and he nodded in approval under Sakura's surprised gaze.
[He agreed! This is great... This is the beginning of a romantic love story...]
Sakura's heart immediately pounded with excitement, and she forcefully suppressed her agitation, preparing to speak.
"Me too, me too... Sakura, don't be biased!"
Naruto, already consumed by jealousy, immediately stepped forward and shouted, determined not to let their relationship progress further.
"Alright, alright..."
With Sasuke present, Sakura, despite her reluctance, forced a smile and agreed.
She couldn't let the good impression she had just made be ruined by Naruto...
A moment later,
[Quest complete, reward obtained: Tree climbing training effect doubled...]
As another prompt sounded, Sasuke once again gathered chakra at his feet and rushed towards the big tree.
"Thump thump thump thump thump thump..."
This time, Sasuke actually rushed directly to a height close to Sakura's.
"How is that possible!!
Damn it, I won't lose to you..."
Naruto, beside him, paled in shock, roared, and once again gathered chakra to rush towards the big tree.
"No, I can't be caught up by Sasuke-kun.
I still need to accumulate more experience and get closer to Sasuke-kun..."
Sakura, equally startled, composed herself and seriously gathered chakra at her feet.
In an instant, the sounds of the three's passionate shouts echoed through the forest, one after another.
Time flew by, and it was already afternoon.
"Oh my, everyone is so motivated, aren't they? So, what are your results now?"
Kakashi suddenly appeared and said lazily, nodding with satisfaction as he looked at the three sweating and panting.
It seems these three guys haven't been slacking off!
But why does Naruto have so many bumps on his head?
"Kakashi-sensei, I can already climb to the top of the tree!"
Sakura immediately stood up to show off, quickly rushing up the tree trunk and reaching the top in one breath.
This surprised Kakashi slightly, but he wasn't overly astonished!
Given Sakura's previous talent and her small amount of chakra, completing the tree climbing in half a day wasn't difficult.
"Kakashi-sensei, what's the next training?"
As Sakura spoke, Sasuke's figure flickered, and he appeared hanging upside down from a branch.
Immediately, this action made Kakashi's pupils contract.
His eyes showed shock... He had anticipated Sakura completing the training so quickly!
But Sasuke, he had also completed the tree climbing training so quickly... One must know that Sasuke's chakra control talent was not as good as Sakura's, but his chakra volume was several times hers.
The difference in training difficulty was imaginable... This guy was also a true Uchiha genius!!
"What about you, Naruto...?"
While excited, Kakashi couldn't help but look at Naruto with anticipation.
If even Naruto completed the tree climbing training, he would have to re-evaluate the potential of all three of them!
"Hmph, I'll be able to reach the top of the tree soon too... Anyway, I won't lose to Sasuke or Sakura!"
Naruto tossed his head and snorted, his stubborn, defiant look causing two vein marks to appear on Kakashi's forehead.
Good heavens, he had a bigger temper than someone who had already completed the training...
"In that case, I'll give you two more days to train!
Sakura, for these two days, you will guide Naruto in tree climbing training.
Sasuke, come with me..."
Kakashi waved his hand and arranged, beckoning Sasuke to follow him to the other side.
"Sakura, I'm counting on you..."
Hearing this, Naruto's eyes lit up, and he looked at Sakura with a joyful, dazed smile.
This was a rare moment for just the two of them!
"Damn it, why do I have to stay here and train with Naruto..."
Sakura's pretty face fell, and she watched Kakashi's departing back, clenching her fist and shouting.
Two days, it was the perfect time for a date with Sasuke-kun...
"Sasuke, this is a chakra paper... Let me see your chakra nature first, just input chakra into it!"
Arriving at a nearby bush, Kakashi pulled out a piece of paper from his ninja pouch and handed it to Sasuke.
"Like this?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Sasuke's eyes, and as he took the paper, he immediately infused it with chakra.
The next instant,
Under Kakashi's surprised gaze,
The chakra paper first crumpled into a ball, then burst into flames and turned to ashes.
"Lightning and Fire dual-nature chakra..."
Kakashi said instinctively, his gaze towards Sasuke growing more and more satisfied.
Kakashi now fully acknowledged this intelligent, sensible, and exceptionally talented disciple!
Just as Sasuke said, he was the only teacher in Konoha who could guide his training.
But on the other hand, Sasuke was also his only suitable disciple in Konoha...
Especially Sasuke, who possessed the Lightning nature.
His Chidori required the Sharingan and the Lightning nature to be inherited!!
This, perhaps, was fate...
[Quest complete, reward obtained: Lightning Release: Swift Lightning Arrow...]
As Kakashi inwardly acknowledged Sasuke, a system reward also sounded in Sasuke's ear.
In an instant, the hand seals and application of the C-rank Lightning Release: Swift Lightning Arrow were thoroughly integrated into Sasuke's mind and body, like a sudden enlightenment.
Even without any prior training experience, Sasuke could smoothly and skillfully perform the hand seals and cast the jutsu.
"Sasuke, you've worked very hard today... Go back and rest, starting tomorrow I will teach you new ninjutsu."
Regaining his thoughts, Kakashi looked at the slightly disheveled Sasuke and said.
He also needed to go back and think about what ninjutsu would be suitable for Sasuke at this moment.
"Alright, Kakashi-sensei..."
Sasuke nodded contentedly in response, without any objections.
He had already learned tree climbing today, and now he had the C-rank Lightning Release: Swift Lightning Arrow... What more could he ask for?
