Even a master of taijutsu cannot fully achieve such high-speed movement simply by relying on their skills!
"Phew—!"
Sasuke let out a long breath, steadily dodging the large tree that Naruto had violently slammed into moments ago. Then he turned his head and looked down at Naruto, who was preparing to try again.
"Alright, alright, since you two have roughly grasped it, go back and practice well. Come back early tomorrow, and I'll teach you other skills and techniques..."
Luffy yawned, his two small pupils showing disdain. Naruto had only just arrived in the middle of the night, and Luffy hadn't even rested properly!
...
"You mean, Naruto and Sasuke are following that Luffy to learn taijutsu?"
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, kept abreast of every little thing happening in the village. Naturally, he received the news immediately.
"Do we need to stop them, Hokage-sama?"
This matter involved Kakashi Hatake's two disciples. So Kakashi was naturally also present, having heard this intelligence.
"Not for now..."
"Just right... I also want to see what kind of power that Luffy truly possesses!"
"The Chunin Exams are approaching... After Luffy's training, will Naruto and Sasuke's performance be different from before?"
Just like Danzo, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, actually harbored some wariness towards this outsider, Luffy. After all, they still didn't truly understand Luffy, nor were they clear about the true strength he possessed. Luffy's real purpose in coming to Konoha, although he had already explained it... But if everything a person said was true, then this world would be far too simple.
So, probing Luffy from various angles, at the very least, clarifying Luffy's background, was a relatively meaningful thing to do.
However, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was more adept at manipulation than Danzo, that old fox. At the very least, the old Hokage wouldn't rush to achieve results like that.
"Then let it be for now..."
Kakashi also nodded, offering no objection.
To be honest, he was truly convinced by Luffy's strength. The Konoha ninja he encountered earlier, wasn't it Genma Shiranui?
Kakashi's specialty, Lightning Release ninjutsu, was completely ineffective against Luffy's special physique.
Moreover, when Luffy fought him before, the powerful and unimaginable display of skill he showed was completely different from this world, totally alien!
If Luffy himself were to personally guide and teach them.
Perhaps Naruto and Sasuke's future achievements would truly be extraordinary. After all, having the opportunity to simultaneously come into contact with two completely different power systems experiencing this kind of thing was a truly rare opportunity.
Comparatively, the secrets Luffy, this outsider, held.
He feared that even the Sage Mode system in this world, besides the ninjutsu cultivation system, could barely compare...
In summary, under the overt and covert support of the Third Hokage, Naruto and Sasuke went to Luffy every day to practice fresh taijutsu techniques and abilities, and no one came to disturb them. Even Danzo, that fellow within the organization, also felt exceptionally sensitive, noticing that the Hokage seemed to be paying extra attention to him lately.
Danzo and Hiruzen were classmates when they were young, comrades in arms in their youth. Now, in secret, he was constantly monitoring this old friend. Danzo still valued this old friend quite highly. He knew that he probably couldn't overstep the line anymore.
Hiruzen Sarutobi showed no mercy to his enemies, and he would not be soft-hearted with his own people either! Young ninjas only saw the benevolent side of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Homura Mitokado,
but they couldn't grasp the deeper, hidden nature of these old fellows... Danzo and Hiruzen were both figures who had lived through the era of internal strife among ninjas. The turmoil and bloodshed they experienced were completely incomparable to ninjas growing up in peacetime now!
Danzo withdrew. At least for now.
...
"Thump, thump, thump!"
In a clearing in the woods where Luffy rested.
No one's figure was visible, yet continuous thudding sounds came from within!
"Whoosh!" Sasuke suddenly appeared, then violently slammed into a nearby large tree!
After him, a moment later, Naruto met the same fate.
The two of them, one above, one below, were embedded in the tree trunk, unable to move. After this, Luffy revealed his figure.
"Not bad, not bad... You two are progressing quickly!"
And what was particularly interesting to Luffy was this:
Although Naruto initially seemed to have less talent for practice than Sasuke.
But after one day, he surprisingly seemed to be catching up. And after another day, he even showed further improvement!
Moreover, Luffy could clearly feel the terrifying, immense power hidden within Naruto's body!
He could even mobilize the power within his own body, less than one percent of the total! This kid... truly has limitless potential!
Compared to Naruto, Sasuke was clearly a talented young genius. With a profound family background and a clear mind, he also had talent and was willing to work hard. No need to think, if Naruto was the kind of player who might be very talented and have a great future.
Then Sasuke would absolutely be a prominent figure in the future ninja world! Even Luffy, who didn't know much about this ninja world, could see this.
Even during the sparring match between Luffy and the two younger ones just now.
Sasuke could already use his ninjutsu techniques while unleashing taijutsu! (Good, smart)
"...You two have roughly understood the true way to use this move. It can be used to dodge attacks, or even to suppress enemies."
Luffy stood in front of Naruto and Sasuke.
"Even because this move is truly too fast, as long as one holds a weapon, all enemies within the range of movement will be hit by the weapon and get injured... Sometimes killing enemies is that simple."
Naruto and Sasuke nodded repeatedly in agreement. They had already begun to master this fast-moving technique and deeply felt the power of this strength.
Sometimes they ran so fast that they didn't even know what was happening around them. If it were a truly fierce battle, they might not even be able to unleash this power to its limit. If they moved too fast to see surrounding attacks, it might even be their allies.
"Since you have mastered this technique, how about coming to learn something new..."
