Konoha: Let Madara teach me how to fireball

After the qualifying round, the draw for the third exam came out.

They are Sakura vs. Shino, Naruto vs. Neji, Temari vs. Shikamaru, and Gaara vs. Sasuke.

The third exam will be held one month later. The purpose is to prepare the exam venue and the time needed to invite the famous names from the two countries.

After the lottery, the qualified candidates can move around on their own within this month.

Therefore, most candidates are preparing to practice and improve within this month, or collect intelligence on their opponents.

Apart from…

"Speaking of which, do you really not need my help with special training?"

Kakashi looked helpless while looking through the pages of Kissing Heaven.

Naruto had Jiraiya to teach him, so he naturally didn't need him, so he wanted to come and see Sasuke.

"Sorry, Mr. Jiraiya, I have an elder at home who wants to teach me, so I can't help it..."

Sakura clasped her hands together and looked at Kakashi very apologetically.

"A battle of this level does not require me to undergo special training, and I have nothing to improve in a short period of time."

This statement is true. Unless Sasuke's Six Magatama Rinnegan Eyes are awakened immediately, his strength will not change much no matter how hard he trains.

In addition to normal meditation practice, Sasuke only needs to move his body every day to maintain feeling.

"Oh, I feel like a failure, but this is good, it saves me the trouble."

Kakashi is also free and easy. Since his lovely disciples don't need him, it would be fine if he leaves.

After Kakashi left, Sakura turned to look at Sasuke.

"Is it really okay to stay with me?"

Sasuke's tone of voice was still so casual.

"I don't have anything else to do. Instead of wandering around the village, I'd rather stay with you."

Hearing this, Sakura rolled her eyes and smiled.

"That's right!"

So, Sasuke followed Sakura to visit the elder she mentioned.

"Although grandpa is very old-fashioned, he is a very good person. If it were not for his careful teaching, I would not have won the battle yesterday easily."

Along the way, Sakura told Sasuke about the old man who once taught him.

I don't know what the old man's surname is, but it seems to be somewhat related to Sakura's family, but they are far apart.

When Sakura was seven years old, her mother took her to find the old man in an old house.

After talking for a long time, the old man handed several water escape ninjutsu scrolls to Sakura.

"If you have talent, I can teach you personally and even give you more resources, but..."

At that time, the old man didn't say anything else.

However, Sakura's talent is indeed good, and she is eager to pursue Sasuke, so she successfully mastered those ninjutsu in a short period of practice.

After Sakura met the requirements, the old man agreed to teach Sakura.

However, this is not to become a disciple, but simply to teach as an elder.

Over the years, under the guidance of the old man, Sakura has achieved certain attainments in water escape ninjutsu.

However, even today, the old man has not said what is behind the but.

Sakura once asked out of curiosity.

But I only got some vague words and incomprehensible ideas.

Soon, Sasuke followed Sakura to the ancient house.

"Grandpa, here I come."

After knocking on the door to announce, Sakura walked in with Sasuke.

"Here it is."

There was a dojo in the house, and sitting inside was an old man who was about the same age as the Third Hokage.

"What's that clan emblem?"

The clan emblem on Sasuke's body brought back long-standing memories for the old man.

"Uchiha."

The old man's sigh was full of sighs. Who would have thought that such a huge Uchiha would be destroyed in an instant?

"Grandpa, this is my teammate, Uchiha Sasuke."

Sakura's expression was very coy when she introduced Sasuke.

The old man who has been in the world for a long time naturally understands the subtleties.

"I see, is this your motivation?"

The old man's words made Sakura's face blush even more.

"That's it, let's get down to business."

After the other thoughts in his mind were swept away, the old man's tone became much more serious.

"To be fair, with your talent, I can't teach you much here. In fact, there is someone more suitable to teach you, but she has already left Konoha, so the matter can only be settled.

However, this month I will use some of the resources at hand to improve your strength. "

After listening to the old man's words, Sakura immediately waved her hand and said,

"How can this be done? It's enough that you can teach me. If I use your resources..."

The old man directly stretched out his hand to signal Sakura not to say anything further.

"Well, I'm already on my deathbed at this age. I can only take those things with me to the grave. It's better to use them on younger generations like you."

After the old man said this, he looked at Sasuke.

"Uchiha brat, what do you think of Sakura?"

When he said this, the old man stared into Sasuke's eyes.

"I…"

After Sasuke paused for a moment, he suddenly thought of the chat on the tower.

"I heard that there is a place in Yunokuni where the cherry blossoms are particularly beautiful. I really hope I can have the opportunity to visit it during the blooming season in the future."

"Sakura?"

After hearing those words, Sasuke's first thought was whether it would be a bit monotonous for the new country to only have the wood escape planted by Hashirama.

At this moment, after the old man asked this question, Sasuke answered seriously.

"I hope that I can go see the cherry blossoms with her every year when they bloom."

After finishing speaking, Sasuke added another sentence.

“If you grow it yourself, that’s even better.”

The old man didn't see any evasion in Sasuke's eyes.

"As for cherry blossoms, they need to be planted in a large area to make them look beautiful."

Older people are always more knowledgeable, so their sincere advice is useful many times.

"That would be perfect."

Not to mention the land that has been developed at this time, in Sasuke's plan, the scope of the new country over there will only be larger in the future, and it would be perfect to use some of it to plant cherry blossoms.

"Sakura, I have some ancient methods here that can strengthen your body and improve your chakra control ability. However, your chakra control is already quite good, so this method is more about strengthening your body."

After the old man finished speaking, he took out two scrolls.

These are the resources needed by ancient methods and ancient methods. Although they are not very precious things, at present I can't come up with anything better.

After all, the old man at this time is just a lonely old man who is "weak and weak". What he can offer is the limit of what he can provide.

"It's a pity that she is no longer in Konoha. Otherwise, with your talent, your progress would be even greater. Alas, you are already an older person. It's really..."

An old man of this age would always seize on the topic and talk endlessly, but Sakura and Sasuke obediently acted as juniors and chatted with the old man.

It wasn't until dusk and sunset that the two of them walked out of the ancient house.
