"Listen carefully. Don't lose focus." Moyu's voice cut through the silence, his tone carrying the weight of command. "Chakra is important to everyone here. Before you even think about wielding its power, you must understand its nature. Wind, lightning, earth—what do they represent? These are the most basic foundations. Without clarity here, everything else collapses."
His expression hardened, eyes sharpening as he looked at them. From the very beginning he had not treated this lightly, and now he pressed even further, ensuring his words sank deep. "I know you both crave strength. But before that, you must answer me with sincerity."
"Alright," they replied, tension in their voices.
Moyu then explained the deeper knowledge step by step, his tone patient but firm, and as the words sank in, they both felt sudden clarity, as if fog had been lifted.
"Then what do we do to properly control Chakra's power?" Naruto asked, still puzzled. He had never truly understood this, and because of that, his control had always faltered. While others advanced steadily, he often seemed stuck in place, unable to move forward.
Moyu folded his arms. "To master Chakra, the most important element is spiritual strength. Without the will to command it, your body cannot sustain it."
Naruto blinked. "But… how do you gain something like spiritual power?"
Hei Yu's brows furrowed. For someone like Naruto not to even grasp this simplest principle—it was as though they were starting entirely from nothing, rebuilding the very foundations from scratch. And even if he explained, Moyu knew there was no guarantee Naruto would understand immediately.
"Why are you so dense?" Sasuke muttered beside him, unable to hold back. His tone was sharp, carrying irritation. "How did you even learn anything before if you don't understand something this basic?"
Naruto bristled but did not back down. "It's not that I don't want to understand. I'm just slow. But I've been studying seriously, and I'll keep pushing until I get it right. I will figure it out. Soon, I'll surpass even you." His words rang with force, his determination almost tangible.
Sasuke's lips curled into a dismissive smirk. "Is that so? Then I'll tell you clearly—I'll be the one to grow stronger, far stronger than you."
The clash of their voices filled the air, equal parts rivalry and unspoken bond. Friends, enemies, mirrors of one another—they drove each other forward, each desperate not to be left behind.
"You'll never surpass me," Sasuke said coldly.
"Don't talk nonsense. I'll be better than you," Naruto shot back without hesitation.
"You're dreaming, Naruto. Wishful thinking, nothing more."
And yet, even in that scorn, there was fire—two wills clashing, refusing to bend, both destined to rise.
