Naruto's water escape is the strongest

At noon, Sakura went back to Tazuna's house to bring lunch to Naruto and Sasuke. These two people were quite sleepless in training.In contrast, Sakura, who was holding a fallen leaf and shaking it around, seemed much more leisurely.Of course, the actual situation is that Sakura's practice can be carried out anytime and anywhere. After reaching a certain level of proficiency, the change in the nature of the practice style no longer requires full concentration.

While Naruto and Sasuke were eating, Sakura observed their progress.The two of them still used the practice method in the original book. The big tree used for practice was already covered with crooked carvings, recording the progress they made during the practice.Compared to the original work, the two are progressing much faster now. Sasuke has almost climbed halfway to the tree, and Naruto is following closely behind.

Looking at Sasuke devouring food beside him, Sakura burst into laughter. She knew Sasuke very well and knew that Sasuke was far from being so active in his usual training.You are working so hard this time, maybe because you are stimulated by yourself and Naruto who is constantly chasing behind you, right?

Among the three genin of Team [-], the ranking of strength is very obvious. Sakura is the strongest, Sasuke is in the middle, and Naruto is at the bottom.But in the eyes of outsiders, Naruto, as a descendant of the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki and Uzumaki, has the greatest potential. Sasuke has the Sharingan, and once he activates the Mangekyō, he will be promoted to the Kage level. Only Sakura, as a descendant of an ordinary ninja, has no blood stains. He has limited boundaries and has no family secrets, so he is the least favored by others.Many people feel that in a few years, Sakura will be far surpassed by Naruto and Sasuke.

But at least for now, Sakura's strength is far superior to Sasuke's.

Especially after graduation, under the guidance of Kakashi, Sakura successfully integrated nintaijutsu and water escape into her combat system, and her strength improved by leaps and bounds.After that, Sakura hasn't sparred with Sasuke for a long time, not for anything else, just because Sasuke has no way to deal with water swordsmanship and nintaijutsu, and will only be defeated without any suspense. This kind of sparring is useless. significance.

In contrast, although Sasuke has also grown tremendously, the gap between him and Sakura has widened even further.Sasuke, who hadn't sparred with Sakura for a long time, didn't notice this. It wasn't until the battle with Zabuza, when Sakura was at full strength, that Sasuke realized that Sakura had gone further.

The water clones that she had to face with caution were cut one by one by Sakura.While she was still hiding aside to protect Tazuna, Sakura already had the ability to seriously injure Zabuza.After the war, Sasuke recalled this scene with mixed feelings.There was disappointment, surprise, anger, and a sense of anxious urgency.

Eager to grow and become stronger.

Especially when he saw Naruto's training progress and he was biting his own tail, and when he saw Naruto desperately chasing his back, the anxious feeling of urgency became even stronger, as if he was He waved the whip hard behind him and hit him hard on his back, making him dare not stop for a moment!

Naruto and Sasuke put down their chopsticks almost at the same time, swallowed the last bite of their food, and then stood up to continue climbing the tree.Sakura quickly stopped them. Even a ninja would not be able to bear the intense exercise just after eating.As a teammate of the two, Sakura felt like a verbose housekeeper sometimes, having to follow them to remind them to pay attention to some common sense in life.

Naruto, who was stopped by Sakura, was stroking his full belly and wandering around the woods with a bored look on his face. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he stopped. He smiled mischievously and asked Sakura: "Little Sakura, what's the secret to climbing trees? Why can you climb up so easily?"

Sakura noticed that Sasuke, who was resting on the side, pretended to be dismissive, but quietly pricked up his ears.

Sakura snickered in her heart, but remained calm on the outside and said, "Didn't Kakashi say that he has to figure it out on his own? Forget it, since you asked, I'll teach you two moves!"

"Watch it!" Sakura first created a shadow clone with seals, then controlled the chakra and made slight adjustments, turning the shadow clone into a transparent human body with no facial features. Through the body, you can still see the meridians all over the body. This The special clone is the prop used by Sakura for teaching.

Unlike ordinary ninjas who pursue higher proficiency in practicing ninjutsu, Sakura is more willing to explore the principles of ninjutsu when practicing ninjutsu. So far, she has achieved some results. This transparent clone is an example.

Under the surprised eyes of Naruto and Sasuke, the shadow clone formed sword fingers with his hands, simulated the human body to refine chakra, and then concentrated the chakra on the soles of his feet and started climbing the tree step by step.It can be seen from its transparent body that chakra runs calmly and rapidly through its meridians. The chakra condensed on the soles of its feet is never too much or too little, which is just enough to maintain the power needed for the shadow clone to climb trees.

Sakura knew that compared to explaining it to two people in long words, they might not be able to accept much. On the contrary, such an intuitive demonstration could leave a deep impression on them and allow them to quickly understand the trick.

Sure enough, after watching the shadow clone's performance, both Naruto and Sasuke showed thoughtful expressions. It seemed that they had indeed understood something.I believe that it won't be long before they can complete this tree climbing exercise, and then they can learn how to accurately use chakra in battle.

Sakura is very envious of Naruto and Sasuke. They are undoubtedly very lucky to have someone with strong chakra control like her to guide them. In contrast, Sakura's ice escape practice lacks such guidance.Kakashi's Sharingan could not successfully copy the Blood Succession Limit. When the copied Ice Release Ninjutsu was used, it turned into several half-finished ice needles. The aura of Ice Release was vague and absent, making it difficult for Sakura to use it. realized.

Kakashi also expressed his inability to do anything about this.

Sakura could only use the stupidest method, trying to change two properties at the same time and mix them.In the past few days, she had separated a shadow clone every day to help her practice. During the day, the shadow clone followed Naruto and Sasuke to practice, while the main body stayed at Dazuna's house to practice. It was considered as a balance between mission and practice.

Sakura quickly discovered that the key to the problem was dual-tasking.People who are born with the blood inheritance limit instinctively know how to perform two nature changes at the same time, while those who want to learn the blood inheritance limit through acquired practice must be proficient in both nature changes to a certain level before they can perform one nature change. Subconsciously maintain the progress of another qualitative change.

Easier said than done.

Sakura is confident that she can completely "subconsciously" change the properties of water.However, she was unable to change the nature of the wind at the same time as the water properties.The reason is simply that the change of wind properties is not skilled enough, and it involves too much mind, so that the change of water properties that can be completed even "subconsciously" cannot be completed.

Therefore, Sakura focused all her energy on practicing the changes in the nature of the wind.It's not enough to just finish cutting leaves, she has to practice to a deeper level.

Kakashi told Sakura that a skilled wind ninja could even turn a physical hand sword into a sharp blade that can cut through iron just by covering the palms with chakra that changes in the nature of the wind.Cutting leaves is just the simplest beginning.

How long does it take to reach this state?Kakashi knew that Asuma, who specialized in wind attributes, had been immersed in wind for nearly five or six years before he could achieve the feat of cutting stone flakes.What about Sakura?

Seven days of all-out effort.

Kakashi was no longer shocked when he learned the result.When a person is mentally prepared for everything, he can deal with it calmly no matter what happens.In fact, if you think about it carefully, there is nothing surprising.Kakashi has become accustomed to Sakura practicing ninjutsu dozens of times faster than others. Asuma said that he has been immersed in wind release for five or six years. In fact, the total time spent practicing wind release in the past five or six years is not more than In half a year, Sakura devoted herself wholeheartedly in these seven days. It is not surprising that she can achieve what others have accomplished in half a year.This is the difference between geniuses and ordinary people!

After this, the practice of initially achieving Ice Escape will be a matter of course.

Seventh night.

Standing in front of Kakashi, Sakura put her hands together, her left hand controlled the chakra to change the nature of water, and her right hand controlled the chakra to change the nature of wind. The chakras of both hands were intertwined, and the mixture of the two chakra changes was used in the palm of her hand. Collision and fusion, a new chakra texture appeared in Sakura's perception.

Sakura spread her hands, and a stream of white mist emerged from her palms. It was the mist formed by condensation of water vapor when encountering low temperatures.Kakashi saw a small transparent crystal lying quietly on Sakura's pale palm.

That's a piece of ice.

Her lips couldn't help but curl up slightly, and a natural smile appeared on Sakura's pale face. Under the thick dark circles, a pair of tired green eyes looked at Kakashi proudly, and said in a hoarse voice.

"How's it going? Ice escape isn't that difficult!"

"Okay, okay, I know you're good!" Seeing Sakura practicing until her face lost its original rosy color and turned pale, Kakashi said helplessly, "Don't worry about this for now, you are already very tired. , let’s go and rest first!”

It's okay if Kakashi didn't say it. After saying this, Sakura suddenly felt all the fatigue in her body surge up, her body became shaky, and she was a little unsteady.

Sakura originally planned to practice step by step, but seeing Naruto and Sasuke practicing so hard, she was a little bit infected.The more important reason is that Sakura enjoys this kind of training. When practicing, she often has the illusion that she is leveling up all night.With her talent, she would make significant progress if she concentrated on practicing for an hour. This kind of investment would be rewarded with positive feedback, and she would become addicted to the practice without knowing it.

Now she finally succeeded in displaying the change in the nature of Ice Escape. Even if it was just the most basic Ice Escape, it gave her a sense of satisfaction as if she had finished the game after practicing all night for a few days.Sakura removed the ice cubes from her palms and sat down. She was still very excited to share the experience of ice escape with Kakashi. However, when the excitement gradually subsided, the physical and mental fatigue made sleepiness more and more unstoppable. She actually fell asleep sitting up.

Seeing Sakura suddenly stop mid-sentence and snoring, Kakashi felt funny and heartbroken. He shook his head, carried Sakura to the bed, covered her with a quilt, and left alone.
