Naruto's graceful style

"Old man."

Even if Asma didn't say anything to her father, who had always cared little about her, she was still somewhat rebellious and resistant in her heart.

No, after looking back at the person who came, he snorted lightly, turned his head and continued to think hard.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was already used to this. At this time, he had taken off his Hokage hat, and the short hair on his head had turned white.

Arriving next to Asuma, the Hokage sat down on the spot without caring about his image. Looking at the sad face of the little guy next to him, he couldn't help but smile:

"What are you thinking about? It's a rare holiday. If you don't go out for a walk, what are you doing in the yard?"

Asuma glanced at the old man. He wanted to have the guts to ignore him, but then he thought about the lack of progress in chakra training, so he couldn't help but want to ask.

After all, his old man was the third generation of Konoha, and he was called a Ninjutsu Professor in the Ninja world. If you ask him, all the problems should be solved.

Hiruzen Sarutobi saw his reaction in his eyes and couldn't help but feel amused. He turned to look at the yard and sighed softly, "Hey, I haven't been able to sit leisurely in the backyard like this for a long time. If I have time, why not sit like this?" so comfortable."

"Tell me, if you encounter any problems, I, an old man, might be able to help you a little."

Seeing that the old man took the initiative to ask questions, Asma no longer hesitated, and then told him about the difficulties he encountered in cultivation.

"Changes in the nature and form of chakra." Hiruzen Sarutobi was startled when he heard this. He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Isn't it too early for you to be exposed to this?"

What he said is indeed true. Most ninjas only start to pay attention to this aspect of practice when it is difficult to improve their strength. Very few people focus on the study of chakra changes from the beginning, because not only is it very difficult, but the progress is also slow. Very slowly.

"It's too early, it's already very late."

Asuma's face suddenly darkened, thinking that he was deliberately teasing her.

He even asked him seriously if it was too early to practice. If it was still too early, then Yuta was nothing.

""

The corners of Sarutobi Hiruzen's mouth twitched. He didn't expect that Asuma would have such a big reaction from his kind question.

But he still couldn't help but earnestly persuaded: "There are many ways to practice ninja, why do you only care about this aspect? If you want to quickly improve your strength, compared to practicing changes in chakra, I think it is more direct to learn ninjutsu." .”

"Asuma, I'm not trying to scare you. The practice of chakra transformation is not as simple as you think. Without a few years or even more time, it is impossible to achieve any results. Moreover, if you don't have the talent in this area, you will just end up with nothing. It’s just a waste of time.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen's words made Asuma fall into silence.

several years

or even longer

Still need talent in this area

His hands were clenching unconsciously, but Yuta's figure suddenly appeared in his mind.

In my impression, it seemed that ever since Yuta transferred to his class two years ago, he seemed to be studying, practicing, and enriching himself all the time.

In this way, Yuta had already realized the difficulty of chakra transformation training as early as that time, and had been practicing unremittingly.

No, maybe even earlier

Considering Yuta's current strength and the huge gap between the two, Asuma had no reason not to guess this way.

After a long time, he said in a low and extremely firm voice: "Old man, can you teach me ninjutsu?"

This was the first time in several years that he had so solemnly asked his father to teach him because he wanted to become stronger.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was also stunned for a moment. He had not seen Asuma looking like this for a long time. Deep in his eyes, a light of relief flashed past, and he said:

"Of course, no problem. It's hard to say anything else. As for ninjutsu, you can tell me whatever you want to learn. But I'm curious, why do you suddenly want to become stronger so urgently?"

That's right, Asma's transformation was not that big in his opinion.

"because of him."

"he"

"Yuta, my partner, is also the target of my pursuit."

Asma raised her head, her expression more serious than ever before, and she stared at her old man with burning eyes, "Now that guy must be still practicing. I don't want to be a useless burden anymore, I don't want to be protected again and again, I don't want to If I am left far behind by him again, I want to become stronger."

When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard this, his eyes flickered slightly, and the figure of a young man quickly appeared in his mind.

Yuta

Is it that boy again?

In this case, he should have told Asuma about the transformation and training of chakra.

He had just been surprised as to why Asuma was obsessed with practicing in this area. It turned out to be this.

Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly figured out the key, and couldn't help but feel more curious about the young man named Yuta.

It seems that it is a good thing that Asuma can be assigned to the same class as him.

Three days later, Konoha returned to the mountains.

The wide open space before was already devastated, and as far as the eye could see, there were countless large and small pits.

"call."

"call."

Under the red sunset, the boy stood upright, exhausted due to excessive chakra consumption, and kept panting. However, there was no trace of fatigue on the young man's face, and his expression was full of excitement that could not be concealed.

Under his feet, a huge crater with a diameter of about twenty meters came into view.

"Finally finished."

His mouth lifted slightly, and then the smile on the young man's face continued to expand, and finally turned into a loud laugh.

In three days, it only took him three days to completely master a B-level ninjutsu from scratch.

If other people knew about this amazing cultivation speed, their jaws would drop and their eyes would be stunned.

"That's it for today."

Having recovered a little strength, Yutai tapped the ground lightly with his toes and immediately jumped to a protruding high ground. He looked at the pitted open space around him with emotion in his eyes.

The open space in front of him almost recorded the entire process of his cultivation in the past three days.

Suddenly, Yuta's eyes narrowed, and he looked thoughtfully at the distant mountains and forests, and after a moment, he looked back with relief.

After all, this place belongs to Konoha. It is impossible for him to make such a big noise and hide it from everyone, and he has already expected it to be like this.

So he didn't intend to pay attention to the people who were monitoring him in secret, as long as they didn't take the initiative to provoke them.

"I just don't know which side it is on."

"Forget it, go back."

Looking at the clearing again, Yuta jumped to the ground. I don’t know when I will come here next time.

In the mountain forest, two masked ninjas saw the young man leaving. After looking at each other, their bodies trembled slightly. There was a slight rustling sound from where they were hiding, and then they disappeared.

On the other side, Yuta had already left the back mountain. Before going home, he decided to go to a hot spring first.

Anyway, it's still early, and after this day's practice, my whole body is full of the smell of sweat. I just take this opportunity to go to the hot spring for a good soak, and wipe away all the fatigue accumulated in the past three days.

Just yesterday, the reward for the mission they completed to exterminate the bandits had been distributed, totaling more than taels, which was undoubtedly a huge amount of income for Yuta.

Even You’s father and You’s mother, who were present at the time, were startled and exclaimed that this kid just went out like this for a few days, and the rewards he earned were almost equivalent to a month’s revenue of the barbecue restaurant.

Yuta was very calm about this, and considering that the store was in urgent need of money for recent renovations, he confiscated a large part of the bounty. Even so, his wallet is still bulging, and taking a bath in a hot spring or something is not a problem at all.

Even if he was extravagant and had a bowl of Ichiraku ramen, he would dare to add a few more braised eggs.

No reason, just money.

However, as soon as he returned to Konoha, he was stopped by an ANBU wearing a mask.

"Yuta, are you right? Hokage-sama asks you to come to his place."
