44: Chapter 44 The Current Situation Three Months LaterOver the past three months, Naruto led everyone in daily training, resulting in a significant improvement in everyone's physical fitness and the development of a good habit of independent exercise.
Even after a long and tiring day at home, they don't slack off; they always learn the family's secret techniques.
Kiba Inuzuka has begun learning the family's secret technique: turning a person into a dog, a dog into a person, turning both a person and a dog into dogs, and turning both a person and a dog into a person.It's truly a profound and complex art.
Aburame Shino was the first among them to come into contact with the family's secret techniques.From birth, the Aburame clan is destined to deal with insects and sign a contract to use their own bodies as nests for parasitic insects and then control the insects to fight.
So when I first met Naruto, he already had a lot of bugs on him.
Ino Yamanaka not only trains with Naruto, but also learns the family's secret technique, the Mind Transfer Technique, when she returns home.
Members of the Yamanaka clan are skilled at controlling the minds of their enemies.They can invade and read the memories of the dead, and possess the unique ability to communicate with their companions, along with powerful sensory abilities.
The art of mind transference is an important secret technique passed down through generations.
Furthermore, because Ino has a strong liking for Naruto, she has also spent a lot of time learning flower arranging at her mother's suggestion, hoping to show it off to Naruto and win his favor.Unfortunately, she is still in the training stage and there is nothing special about it yet.
As the heir to the Akimichi clan, Choji Akimichi has naturally learned the clan's secret techniques, possessing the special ability to convert fat into large amounts of chakra.This means that Choji's appetite has grown increasingly large, and even Naruto, without using any special abilities, cannot match Choji's appetite based solely on his own eating capacity.
However, Naruto can also accelerate digestion by converting food into energy within his body.Naruto's body is quite powerful, naturally capable of storing a large amount of energy.So, in a real contest, Naruto could win if he wanted to, but of course, he wouldn't say that out loud.
After all, Choji's favorite thing is eating, and he considers it his life's mission.He's so eager to improve, so let him win this time.
As for Nara Shikamaru, he was the most relaxed one among them.He trained with Naruto every day, but he was also the one who slacked off the most.After Choji and Shino couldn't keep up, he always arrived on time, feeling that he was getting tired.
"What a clever smart time-out system!Typical of you." However, Naruto didn't say anything after discovering it.After all, that's just Shikamaru's personality, and their clan isn't known for its fighting prowess; the Nara clan is most famous for its high intelligence.
It's normal for a strategist not to fight personally.However, although Shikamaru found it troublesome, he still obediently learned the Shadow Binding Technique under Nara Shikaku's pressure.
Regardless of how it was passed down, at least it has been preserved.
Every day when I got home, I would play chess with my father, and life was incredibly pleasant.
Sakura is the most ordinary among them, but fortunately, her parents are very supportive of her becoming a ninja.After finishing her training with Naruto, Sakura will train extra at home because her dream is to become a medical ninja, so her chakra control must be strong.
Sakura's parents also prepared a lot of books on how to control chakra for Sakura to learn, so Sakura does have talent.
However, in the original work, Naruto and Sasuke, two overpowered characters, were by her side, which made Sakura seem somewhat ordinary.
However, during the Fourth Shinobi World War, Sakura's strength was indeed among the top of the Konoha 11, which shows that Sakura's talent was quite good.
Sakura did not disappoint her parents' expectations.She trained diligently at home, and her chakra control was already the strongest besides Naruto's.
Rock Lee, as always, trained with Guy after training with Naruto.
Teacher Kai treats Xiao Li very well, because this is not after graduation when classes are divided, and Teacher Kai has not yet become Xiao Li's team leader.
Xiao Li's encounter with Teacher Kai was purely by chance.Teacher Kai saw a reflection of his past self in Xiao Li, which is why he chose to take Xiao Li as his apprentice.
He guided Xiao Li in practicing physical techniques without holding back any personal information, showing utmost care for Xiao Li.
They're even closer than one's own children!Although Teacher Kai still hasn't found a partner.
As for Sasuke, there's a lot to say about him.As time went by and he spent more and more time by Naruto's side, the Indra chakra within Sasuke began to show signs of emerging.
Not only has his chakra extraction speed increased significantly, but his talent in ninjutsu and taijutsu has also gradually become apparent.
Upon witnessing Sasuke's talent, Fugaku Uchiha exclaimed that the Uchiha clan had hope for revival, and that his sons Sasuke and Itachi were worthy of becoming Hokage!
Under Fugaku Uchiha's tutelage, Itachi and Sasuke also progressed remarkably quickly.Itachi, in particular, needs little introduction.At the age of four, Itachi experienced the cruelty of the ninja world, killing an ambush ninja and tasting the weight of life.
At the age of five, he protected Sasuke, who was still an infant, during the Nine-Tails' attack.
He entered the ninja academy at the age of six.
He graduated at an incredible speed at the age of seven.
At the age of eight, a tragedy occurred that awakened the legendary Sharingan.
Eight-year-old Itachi was tasked with protecting hostages, but the person he was protecting was also Obito's target.Eight-year-old Itachi had to exchange blows with Obito, who already possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan.Itachi's team was no match for Obito.
In the end, Obito killed Itachi's teammates.Itachi's teammates rushed towards Obito to protect Itachi and told Itachi to run because their good friend had died in front of them.Itachi, who was only eight years old, awakened his Sharingan.
tenAt the age of 18, he became the first genius in Konoha ninja history to pass the Chunin Exams on his own.
This year, Sasuke is six years old, and Itachi is already eleven.Itachi has also successfully joined the Anbu and is quite famous in the Anbu.He is a genius among geniuses.
Under the tutelage of Fugaku and Itachi, Sasuke successfully learned the Uchiha clan's most famous technique, Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique.
Aside from that, Fugaku simply told Sasuke to practice taijutsu and the Great Fireball Technique more.
Because he understood that a truly powerful ninja is not one who uses the most powerful ninjutsu, but one who can make even low-level ninjutsu devastating, just like the legendary Uchiha Madara.
Despite having only mastered one ninjutsu and learned a considerable number of taijutsu techniques, Sasuke remains one of the top Konoha 11.As for whether he is second, third, or fourth, it's hard to say without a comparison.
In the end, only Hinata remained.Hinata is the eldest daughter of the main branch of the Hyuga clan, one of Konoha's major clans.She is destined to inherit the Hyuga clan.
Therefore, Hiashi Hyuga had very strict requirements for Hinata, requiring her to train in Gentle Fist every day.Although she couldn't awaken the Byakugan yet, the training was essential.
Of course, Hiashi Hyuga only hoped that Hinata would have the strength worthy of the eldest daughter of the main branch of the family, and he was not mistreating Hinata.After each training session, he would arrange a medicinal bath for her without fail.Naturally, Hinata did not suffer many hidden injuries.
Hinata's younger sister, Hyuga Hanabi, has also been born, five years younger than Hinata.This was originally a secondary account that Hyuga Hiashi had created in case Hinata couldn't inherit the Hyuga clan.
Now it seems Hinata's performance has been quite impressive.Under Naruto's influence, Hinata's originally shy personality has improved somewhat.Hinata's true nature is not that of a weak girl; on the contrary, she understands the meaning of the ninja way of never giving up better than most ninjas!
Therefore, thanks to Hinata's efforts, her progress has been quite rapid, although she is not yet on par with the true genius of the Hyuga clan.That is, the child of Hyuga Hizashi, the younger brother of Hyuga Hiashi, the one known by countless people as the Caged Bird of Konoha, Hyuga Neji!
Neji displayed astonishing talent from a young age and was quite close to Hinata when they were children.When Hinata was three years old, the main family placed a cursed seal on his forehead to restrain the power of the branch family.This cursed seal would only disappear when the person who cast it died.
In other words, he was a caged bird.From then on, Neji was bound by the main branch of the family and was no longer as close to Hinata.
Later, when Hinata was three years old, ninjas from Kumogakure infiltrated Konoha in an attempt to kidnap Hinata in order to obtain the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan.Hiashi of the Hyuga main family used his Byakugan to fight back against Kumogakure and rescue Hinata.
This led to a deterioration in relations between the villages of Kumogakure and Konoha, indirectly triggering a war.To avoid the war, Konoha made a deal with Kumogakure: Kumogakure demanded that Konoha hand over the body of Hinata's father, Hiashi.Konoha was forced to accept Kumogakure's conditions.
The elders of the Hyuga clan proposed to hand over the body of Hizashi from the branch family as a substitute for Hiashi.Before dying, Hizashi told Hiashi, "Please tell Neji that I was not killed to protect the main family, but to protect my brother and the village." And so, Hizashi was killed as a substitute for Hiashi.
It is precisely because of his father's death that he maintains a pessimistic fatalism and clings to the idea of fate.
Neji harbored resentment towards Hiashi and Hinata Hyuga.Although he outwardly showed them respect, it was clear to everyone that Neji was resentful.
As a truly talented person, Hinata was bound by the limitations of the branch family and became a caged bird.Hinata, who lacked talent as a child, had to sacrifice her father to protect Hyuga Hizashi because she was from the main family.
Neji often came to pick Hinata up and take her home, so Naruto had quite a few opportunities to meet Neji.
Naruto wanted to talk to Neji, hoping that Neji could join them in training and have a chance to change his future.
However, Neji's aloof attitude left Naruto with nowhere to turn, and this was the first time Naruto had ever encountered someone he couldn't persuade with his Kototenko.
If one attempt doesn't work, try a few more.Even though you, Neji, are a stubborn person, my Kototen-ga-tsuki-ga is no pushover.
Let's see who's stronger!
Naruto himself gained even more.He not only mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique but also improved upon it, developing a version that allowed him to move without a physical form.He also broke Kurama's seal and gained mastery over Kurama's chakra.
Naruto at his normal strength, with the awakening of his two-tomoe Sharingan and Byakugan, plus his special bloodline power, is already comparable to an elite Jonin.
Not to mention his troublesome Flying Thunder God Technique and the Rasengan that's ingrained in his very being.
The combat power they can demonstrate is comparable to that of ten, or even nine, ordinary Jonin.
If we add the Nine-Tails' chakra, even if we can't activate the Tailed Beast Transformation right now, it would be more than enough to overpower Hiruzen Sarutobi.
