No one knows Hokage better than me

The ANBU has been investigating the person behind the rumors. Ji Zhixing is an outsider who has only recently arrived in Konoha, and Li Yin is under intense investigation.

But he is the key to stabilizing the strategic weapon of Nine Tails, so the Third Hokage specially reminded the Anbu not to affect the normal life of Ji Zhixing and Naruto.

In this way, even if the Anbu investigated for a year, they would never find any substantive clues.

Ji Zhixing felt relieved and took Naruto to the training ground and said: "Naruto, today we are going to play a game to learn powerful ninjutsu."

"Okay" Naruto clenched his fists and stood up, full of enthusiasm.

"Well, I'd like to think about teaching you the Wind Release Ninjutsu" Ji Zhixing sought Naruto's opinion.

Naruto has never seen relatively advanced ninjutsu, so everything is new to him now.

Ji Zhixing took advantage of Naruto's interest and introduced him to the key points of the Wind Escape Breakthrough in detail, and then demonstrated it himself, condensing chakra and forming a seal with his hands:

"Wind escape breakthrough"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Zhixing spit out a swirling wind from his mouth, which raised the fallen leaves and dust on the ground several meters high.

"Wow, that's amazing" Naruto exclaimed.

Ji Zhixing didn't actually need to form a seal to perform ninjutsu, he just wanted to let Naruto see it more clearly.

"Okay, Naruto, try condensing the chakra into your chest, and then spit it out in one breath."

Naruto nodded, imitating Ji Zhixing's example, he gathered chakra and formed the seal: "Wind Escape Breakthrough"

call

Naruto exhaled heavily, and the fallen leaves in front of him were not even lifted up. They only trembled a few times and then stopped.

"No, Naruto, your seal is wrong. The second gesture is not Chou, but Yin. Try again."

Naruto's speed of forming seals was very slow, and his gestures were not very standard. In addition, the seals of this ninjutsu were relatively simple. Ji Zhixing saw Naruto's mistake at a glance.

Naruto re-concentrated his chakra and formed the seal again: "Wind Escape Breakthrough"

call

The fallen leaves in front of Naruto fell again as soon as they lifted off the ground, but at least he learned how to form seals.

"Very good, try again" Ji Zhixing encouraged Naruto tirelessly.

Time is like running water, and one day has passed in the blink of an eye.

Unlike practicing the Three Body Jutsu or practicing condensing chakra before, practicing Ninjutsu not only requires the consumption of chakra, but the degree of strain on the body is also far from what it was before.

Despite the Kyuubi's blessing, Naruto was still exhausted.

Ji Zhixing shrugged, squatted in front of Naruto, and said, "Come up, I'll carry you back."

Naruto was stunned for a moment, then smiled and lay on Ji Zhixing's back.

Walking under the sunset, today is also a particularly happy day.

On the way, Ji Zhixing told Naruto the story of Snow White and Prince Charming, and said that this Snow White was the little match girl before. This made Naruto secretly happy, as if he also shared the other's happiness.

It was still the same river, still the same bridge, and Uchiha Sasuke's little body was reflected in the water again.

"Sasuke"

Ji Zhixing walked to the river, put down Naruto, and asked with concern: "Why are you here alone, do you have any troubles?"

Sasuke looked somewhat better when he saw the two of them.

He faced the river and said a little shyly: "I learned ninjutsu from the elders in my family, but the power I displayed was not as powerful as my brother's when he first learned it."

"I want to be recognized by my father, but I can never do it as well as my brother."

Sasuke looked sad. He didn't hate his brother's excellence, nor did he hate his father's strictness. He just wanted to know how to keep up with his brother's pace and gain his father's approval.

Ji Zhixing understands Sasuke's troubles. No one understands this kind of life forever under the shadow of "other people's children" better than him.

Thinking about it, Ji Zhixing picked up a stone from the ground, handed it to Sasuke, and said: "Sasuke, can you let this stone reach the other side of the river along the water?"

Sasuke was stunned and didn't know why Ji Zhixing asked him to do this.

He took the stone and threw it along the water towards the other side of the river. As a result, the stone sank in the middle of the river.

"How can we prevent the stone from sinking into the water?" Ji Zhixing asked, while picking up another stone and handing it to Sasuke.

Sasuke was still smart and tried his best to float the stone along the water surface to take over, but in the end he still failed to reach the other side of the river and the stone sank again.

"As long as the stone is fast enough, it can indeed fly along the water. But why did it sink into the water in the end?" Ji Zhixing asked Naruto and Sasuke at the same time.

The two looked at each other, not knowing why.

"Because it stopped"

Ji Zhixing found another stone and explained to the two of them: "No matter how fast we throw the stone, it will always sink to the bottom before reaching the other side. Because we are still young and cannot have the brute force to provide strength to the stone." Enough speed."

"But that doesn't mean we can't move the rocks along the water to the other side of the river."

When Ji Zhixing said this, he pointed to the bridge ahead and said: "If we go around that bridge, we can easily send the stone to the other side by just grabbing the stone with our hands and skimming across the water."

"Instead of trying your best to accelerate the stone but not being able to do it, it's better to find another way to achieve the goal."

"The shortest way is to take the long way around. Can you understand this, Sasuke?"

Ji Zhixing said Yunliwuli's words, which made Naruto feel as big as two heads.

But Sasuke was suddenly enlightened, with hope flashing in his eyes, and he said excitedly: "Thank you, Ji Zhixing, I understand."

After that, Sasuke said goodbye to the two of them and left.

When Ji Zhixing tried to carry Naruto on his back again, Naruto refused directly.

He said that the more tired you are, the more you must persevere, otherwise the effect of practice will be greatly reduced. After all, taking a long detour is the shortest way.

Ji Zhixing looked at Naruto's back in confusion, sighing secretly that he seemed to have misunderstood another truth.

Sure enough, after struggling for a long time, Ji Zhixing only needed to carry someone on his back for half an hour to solve the problem, but Naruto forced him to take a long way to massage his legs for an hour. I dare you to help Ji Zhixing to practice.

After Sasuke returned home, he did not pester Itachi or let Fugaku see the results of his training. Instead, he ate and rested obediently.

As careful as Itachi was, he noticed Sasuke's changes. After eating, he walked into Sasuke's room and asked with a smile: "Sasuke, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Or is someone bullying you? Tell my brother."

Sasuke shook his head, still looking well-behaved, as if he had matured a lot overnight.

Itachi paused for a while, then stroked Sasuke's little head and smiled: "Sasuke, I will accompany you to practice tomorrow."

Sasuke wanted to continue to pretend to be calm, but when he heard this, he immediately became excited, half-surprised and half-suspicious: "Really, brother won't find excuses to send me away again?"

Sasuke pouted, he had been fooled by this many times.

"I'm sorry, Sasuke. It's my brother's fault. I haven't been able to accompany you before. I promise you that I will accompany you to practice tomorrow." Itachi patted Sasuke's head gently.

"Yeah, brother is so good"

Sasuke threw himself into Itachi's arms, causing the unsuspecting Itachi to fall directly to the ground, and then the two of them just lay on the floor and giggled.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go to bed early." After a long time, Itachi looked at Sasuke and said softly.

"Um"

Sasuke is not a greedy child. As long as he has the promise of his brother, he will not stick to Itachi forever.

Itachi glanced at Sasuke who was sleeping, said "good night" on his lips, and then helped Sasuke close the light and door.
