Konoha: Who says that hunters can't play in the ninja world?

Early in the morning, Kazama was woken up by Naruto. The sleepy Kazama felt like he had no desire to live. He was exhausted every day, and eating and sleeping were the only things that made him feel happy. But Naruto came and snatched it away. Kazama wanted to turn into a groundhog and yell at the sky and the earth.

Without the slightest bit of energy, he walked outside the tree house like a zombie, put his hands together, raised his index and middle fingers, crossed and bent the other fingers, gathered chakra under his feet, and then took one step up the tree. In two steps, he was already hanging in the air, with only his two feet firmly nailed to the trunk, his body and the trunk forming a strange right angle.

"That's it, let's practice." Kazama yawned, leaning lazily against the tree trunk.

"???" Naruto's face showed innocent stupidity, and his head was full of question marks.

"Do as I did just now. Once you learn this move, you will also be able to perform the clone technique." Explaining the principle to Naruto is like talking to a cow. It might be easier and more direct to just let him do it and experience it with his body.

"..." Naruto, squinting his eyes, hesitated for a full minute in front of the tree, then turned around and asked, "Is there any method to introduce?" Oh, Naruto has come to his senses? He knows how to ask for methods instead of just doing it blindly. It's rare.

"What do you think I was doing?"

"Don't be in a hurry. Recall it bit by bit, and then copy the process I did. Ask questions if you have any. You have to learn to think for yourself." Kazama didn't plan to say too much. Preaching is only suitable for people who can listen. Naruto is the kind of person who listens half and ignores the other half, and forgets the half he has heard in the blink of an eye. He must suffer a little so that he can remember it clearly.

"Hmm~, Yoshi." Naruto rolled up his sleeves and recalled Kazama's actions in his mind: "First, gather the chakra. No, gather it on the feet, and then step on the tree trunk." Naruto stepped on the tree trunk and "pop". The tree trunk collapsed directly under his feet.

"No, there's too much chakra, reduce it a little."

"It's still not right. There's too little chakra. It's not sticky enough."

"Increase chakra by one tenth..." Naruto muttered to himself, immersed in repeated chakra attempts. It's not that Naruto was completely ignorant over the years. At least this binary search method is quite useful. It's better than having no idea and experimenting randomly.

With the guidance of the method, Naruto had tested the appropriate amount of chakra in just one meal. The next step was to gather it on his feet and move his body upwards.

"If you are not experienced at first, you don't have to rush up. When your whole body can hang on the tree trunk, it's not too late to move. You can avoid falling." Fengjian reminded him, fearing that this reckless guy would rush up without thinking. Since he was teaching him, he could be tired, but he should avoid getting hurt if possible, even though he has the blood of the Uzumaki clan and his body recovers quickly. Fengjian still didn't want Naruto to get hurt.

An hour later, Naruto was able to stand on a tree trunk with his feet alone, but he couldn't last long because his chakra would become unstable if he lost concentration. There was no good way to solve this problem, he could only practice hard to make climbing a tree a basic chakra method that became instinctive, without the need for high concentration, and could be successful subconsciously.

"Keep practicing. When you can hang on a tree to eat without falling, you've succeeded." Kazama was very satisfied with the results of his teaching. He spent the time of a meal to test the amount of chakra needed to climb a tree, and he could stand in an hour. In the original work, it took Naruto several days.

This is the power of knowledge, Fengjian raised his head proudly.

What follows is the process of Naruto constantly getting up and falling down. At this point there is no method to talk about. It takes time to hone this achievement and turn it into instinct.

When the sunset glow filled the sky and lit up the western sky, Naruto was already able to hang upside down on the tree and make faces at Kazama.

"Come over tomorrow to continue the special training. After you master tomorrow's special training, you will definitely be able to pass the clone technique."

"Really? Is this all that matters?" Naruto was overjoyed.

"Hmph, even though I'm a Genin, I'm more than capable of teaching you. Don't come so early tomorrow. Also, when you get here, light a fire and make some breakfast. Don't wait for me to serve you." Kazama turned and walked closer to the tree house, ignoring Naruto's face which was illuminated by the fire.

"I understand, Brother Kazama."

The next day, Kazama finally slept until he woke up naturally. In fact, he only slept for an extra hour. Although the ninja's work and rest schedule is irregular, he has maintained a super strong physique through long-term exercise and does not need too much sleep. More importantly, Kazama had a lot of resentment in the past two days and had no place to vent it, so he took the excuse of teaching Naruto to take a two-day break.

"Brother Kazama, you're awake." Naruto has already given birth and has cooked rice porridge. Naruto lives alone, and with the influence of Kazama, cooking porridge is not a problem for him.

"Let's have breakfast first, and talk after that." Both of them were immersed in the happy and comfortable breakfast time.

"Today I'm going to teach you the art of walking on water, which is an advanced method of climbing a tree yesterday. Once you master this technique, your clone technique will definitely be able to pass the test."

"Yes, hehe, Brother Kazama, I tried it secretly yesterday and I can now create two clones." Naruto smiled with squinted eyes.

"That's right. Isn't it great to see the progress? Are you eager to start training right away?"

"That's right, Brother Kazama, let's start training right away."

"Hey, don't be anxious. Remember what you should do the moment you see your prey?"

"Remember, the moment you see your prey, you must stay calm and it is better to let go of the opportunity than to scare the prey."

"That's right, you can treat the water walking technique as your prey today. You have to conquer it, defeat it, or even eat it today." Fengjian looked at Naruto thoughtfully as he put away his hot temper. He took a few deep breaths and regained his composure. It was rare. When he took Naruto hunting, he let go of so many prey that Naruto's noisy personality learned to restrain. This was an experience gained at the cost of hunger. A handful of bitter tears. If this wasn't the protagonist, Fengjian would have slapped him in the face.

"Bring a large basin and fill it halfway with water. Follow the same steps as yesterday. If you can stand on the water for a long time without sinking to the bottom, it's considered a success. If you can perform ninjutsu while walking, sitting or lying down, it's considered a mastery. Just like that, practice."

Naruto did as he was told, continuing the familiar process from yesterday. The tree trunk was replaced by the water surface, and although the operation was the same, Naruto found that yesterday's experience was no longer valid.

"The difference between a tree trunk and the surface of the water is that one is hard, while the other is soft and flowing. Yesterday, you trained the stability of your chakra. Today, you need to maintain the stability of yesterday while continuously releasing chakra and using the tension of the water surface to keep yourself on the surface. It's still the same method as yesterday, but with one more feature. Try it slowly."

Feng Jian's advice hit the nail on the head for Naruto's doubts. Although he still didn't quite understand, he had a general direction. Maintain the stability of yesterday while continuously releasing chakra? Stability? Continuity? The direction was clear. The next step was to test. It was still the same method as yesterday, a compromise method. Too much chakra would break the water surface, and too little chakra would sink the feet into the water. It still required a suitable amount of chakra.

It still took more than an hour for Naruto to master the trick. Of course, the problem still existed. Standing on the water required full concentration without distraction.

There was only one word for Fengjian: "practice". Naruto had been playing in the water all day and could barely walk on the water, not yet able to do it as he wished.
