I just returned to Konoha and found that all my clan members were gone.

Although he had removed his clone, Naruto always held a leaf in his hand no matter where he was. He eagerly hoped that he could complete this training as soon as possible.

"Naruto, still no effect?"

Kakashi watched Yamato being pushed into the emergency room and then looked at Naruto who was still practicing hard.

"It really has no effect at all? Doesn't Kakashi-sensei have any tricks or something?"

Naruto said with a sad face.

"Although I can use wind jutsu, I'm not as proficient as lightning jutsu and earth jutsu. If you want to ask, you can ask Asuma. I remember that he is pretty good at wind jutsu."

Kakashi thought for a moment and said.

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't expect this to happen!"

Sakura rushed over when she heard the news. She had just gone to visit Naruto, and the senior ninja with Kakashi had suffered from food poisoning. Sakura was so ashamed that she wanted to crawl into the ground.

"Sakura, you're here too?"

Naruto put what he just said behind his mind and went straight up to talk to Sakura when he saw her.

Sakura just nodded to Naruto. She was now most worried about the condition of her jonin teacher who had food poisoning.

"It's okay, Sakura, you didn't mean it."

Kakashi said somewhat guiltily, fortunately he had the foresight to not eat that kind of thing.

"The doctor said that you only need to rest for two days, so don't worry too much."

After hearing that everything was fine, Sakura felt relieved and spoke again.

"Then I'll let you try it again after I adjust the formula. There will definitely be no accidents next time!"

"this..."

Kakashi couldn't bear to refuse, but when he thought of Yamato who was still lying on the hospital bed, he hesitated.

"Don't worry, Sakura. I'll help you next time. My body is much better than Yamato-sensei's."

Naruto patted his chest and said, "Teacher Yamato is in such poor health that anything he eats can upset his stomach."

"Really? Naruto!"

It was rare for Sakura to hold Naruto's hand. Even her best friend Ino had never agreed to this. It turned out that Naruto was the most reliable.

"Hey, it's a small matter!"

Seeing Naruto seeming a little too proud of himself, Kakashi thought that this guy really wasn't afraid of death.

...

Yamato was sick and needed to rest for two days, so Naruto had to suspend his practice of using Shadow Clone and, according to Kakashi, came to the factory area outside the village.

"Does Asuma-sensei often stay here?"

Naruto came to the barbecue stand outside the village. He had been there when he first returned to the village last time.

Although it is called a stall, it actually has its own store. As soon as Naruto entered, he found that the business here was much better than last time.

"Naruto? What are you doing here?"

Ino, who was acting as a waiter, asked when she saw Naruto.

"How are you doing all this? Where's Asuma-sensei?"

Naruto looked at Ino in waitress's clothes and felt a little doubtful.

"Idiot, I'm just here to help. This is Choji's family's barbecue stand!"

Ino served grilled meat to the customers while talking to Naruto.

"Shikamaru and the teacher are probably still busy at this time. What do you want the teacher for?"

Naruto saw that Shikamaru was still busy and greeted him with a smile, then turned around and said to Ino.

"I just want to ask you something about wind escape."

"Wind Escape?"

After a short busy period, Ino wiped the sweat from her forehead. She didn't expect that Naruto came to her for this kind of thing.

"I heard from Kakashi that Asuma's wind jutsu is very powerful, so I came here to ask. I've been practicing in this area recently."

Naruto said it openly. He had nothing to hide from his peers.

"Then you have found the right person. The teacher is indeed good at wind jutsu, but I didn't expect that your chakra attribute would be wind."

Ino knows her teacher quite well. Asuma is quite good at both Fire Style and Wind Style.

"Hey, isn't this Naruto?"

As it happened, Asma returned to the kebab stall at this time, with his signature cigarette still dangling from his lips.

"Didn't I hear that you were practicing recently? How come you have time to come here?"

Shikamaru glanced at Naruto, poured himself a glass of water and drank it all, then glanced at the small stall opposite the barbecue stall.

Ever since the workers' wages have increased, the business opposite has been getting worse and worse. It turns out that people are animals who like to enjoy themselves. When they have money, they will still choose the barbecue stall.

Not only that, but also because Ryosuke was drunk all day and no longer went to work in the factory, Ryosuke, who was no longer a foreman, also saw a decline in his prestige among the workers, and no one gave him the face to take care of his family's business anymore.

Shikamaru shook his head. He simply couldn't concentrate on these things right now.

"I'm developing a new move recently and need to learn how to use wind escape, so I came to you. Please, Asuma-sensei!"

Naruto said as he walked up to Asuma and put his hands together.

"Wind Escape? I didn't expect you to be the same type as me. In that case, I'll teach you."

Asuma still had a good impression of Naruto and agreed immediately.

"Great!"

Naruto was a little excited. He didn't expect Asuma to be so straightforward that he didn't even have to use the words he had prepared.

So he went straight to the point, took out the leaves he carried with him and said.

"Teacher Kakashi asked me to put the leaves in my palm and cut them open using wind escape technique. He said this was a way to learn about the changes in chakra's sexual desire..."

"It's a change of nature, you idiot!"

Shikamaru held his forehead with his hand, but he was still a little surprised. He didn't expect that Naruto was learning this. As a jonin, he knew that this was a compulsory course for almost every jonin.

Asuma took the leaf and looked at it carefully in front of him.

"Naruto is actually training in this area? Yes, this is indeed a required course for wind escape."

Asuma said this and placed the leaf in his palm, but unlike Naruto he did not place his other hand on it.

Asuma exerted a little force, and a weak chakra formed in his palm. That kind of invisible chakra could not be seen by the naked eye.

Swah—

Before Naruto could figure out what Asuma was trying to do, the leaf was cut in half.

"sharp..."

Naruto sighed too early.

Not once, after being cut in half, the leaves felt as if they had been cut into pieces. Various small wind blades formed in Asma's palms, and the leaves were cut into countless tiny pieces in an instant.

"Is this Wind Style? Asuma-sensei, you are so powerful!"

Naruto saw the power of wind jutsu for the first time and exclaimed in admiration.

Ino and Choji also saw Asuma perform these things for the first time and they applauded.

But Shikamaru looked at Asuma again. This was not only a mastery of wind jutsu, but also a mastery of chakra that many ninjas could not achieve. The previous Asuma would never have been able to perform such sophisticated moves.

"Hahaha, I'm still far from being a true Wind Style Master!"

Asuma said with a smile as he listened to the students' praise.

Ino and Choji were just being humble as their teachers, but Naruto, the brainless guy, suddenly asked.

"Teacher Asuma, is there anyone in the village who is stronger than you in using wind escape?"

Asma's expression suddenly froze. His cigarette had gone out and he wanted to take out a new one, but found that the cigarette box was empty.

He said with some melancholy.

"Maybe there was in Konoha in the past, but probably not now..."

Asuma stretched out his palm, only to see that it was covered with tiny scratches, apparently caused by the wind escape technique.

"Wind escape is the most powerful escape technique, but it is also the most difficult to control. Wind has no shape, and it is easy to hurt yourself with this thing."

The students didn't expect that Asuma had to suffer so much while practicing Wind Style.

"But can you imagine someone who can completely cover his body with wind escape? He has turned his body into an indestructible weapon, and wind escape can't hurt him at all."

"So amazing! Who is this person?"

Listening to Asuma's words, Naruto became a little excited. If he learned wind jutsu, wouldn't he be able to achieve the same level?

Ino and Choji were also a little curious, but Shikamaru's eyes had become serious. As a jonin, there were some things he needed to know more about.

"That person's name is Uchiha Yelan."
