Inside the Sealing Space.
Uzumaki Naruto was still sound asleep on the soft bed.
The reason he slept in the Sealing Space was primarily because it was comfortable there.
If he wanted a waterbed, he had a waterbed; if he wanted a spring mattress, he had a spring mattress. If he felt back pain or anything, he could even sleep on a heated bed.
At 3 AM, just as Naruto was sleeping soundly, the alarm clock hanging above his head suddenly went off.
"So noisy! Let me sleep a bit more!" Naruto impatiently slapped the alarm clock away.
Although he slapped the alarm clock away, it continued to ring "ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling" without stopping.
Seeing this, Naruto, with a thought, directly made the alarm clock silent.
Without the alarm sound, Naruto rolled over and continued to sleep.
But before he had slept for two minutes, he was picked up by a giant mechanical arm.
Naruto rubbed his eyes and saw Zephyr looking at him expressionlessly.
"Teacher Zephyr, you're up so early!"
Naruto rubbed his sleepy eyes and greeted Zephyr.
"It's already three-thirty, time to get up and train!"
Zephyr said without any emotion.
Seeing Zephyr's current state, Naruto was also stunned.
He felt that yesterday's Zephyr was still a very easy-going uncle, but today, why did he make him feel so uneasy?
Perhaps sensing Naruto's thoughts, Zephyr continued, "Yesterday I wasn't your instructor, but starting today... you will undergo my training, so I must be strict with you!"
"Get up quickly!"
Hearing this, Naruto reluctantly left the comfortable Sealing Space.
Training was definitely necessary; in this Naruto World, strength was absolute. Besides that, he had already agreed to Zephyr, and he had even actively asked him to train him.
His consciousness returned to his body, and Naruto got up and began to put on his clothes.
After getting dressed, Naruto used the Shadow Clone Technique to create two physical Shadow Clones.
Zephyr chose one Shadow Clone to serve as a temporary body, but the Shadow Clone prepared for Grey Wolf showed no movement at all.
Naruto knew that Grey Wolf was still sleeping in, after all, he had been moving bricks with Kurama all night. He probably wouldn't wake up until noon.
Naruto picked up the gravity wristbands that Grey Wolf had made yesterday and headed out, running towards a training ground in Konoha Village.
Just then, Zephyr, from behind him, said to Naruto.
"Naruto, put on the gravity wristbands, set the multiplier to two times!"
Hearing this, Naruto immediately put the gravity wristbands on his wrists and adjusted the gravity to 2 without a word.
In Naruto's opinion, two times gravity was child's play.
Didn't Sun Wukong and Vegeta, and others, consider three hundred times gravity child's play?
But... when he pressed the switch, he immediately changed his mind.
The two times gravity instantly made Naruto's body sink.
If it were just his body sinking, it would be nothing, but this pressure was simultaneously applied both inside and outside Naruto's body, which was no longer simple weight training.
Naruto gasped for a few difficult breaths.
With two times gravity, Naruto felt his breathing was already somewhat difficult.
This was due to the gravity compressing his lungs; only when his body thoroughly adapted to this gravity would his body return to normal.
"Run with two times gravity. Don't worry, even if you run yourself ragged, Grey Wolf has a healing pod."
Seeing Naruto's somewhat disheveled appearance, Zephyr kindly reminded him.
Hearing this, Naruto could only bear the pressure and start to jog slowly.
Zephyr also ran alongside him, pointing out Naruto's incorrect running posture as they ran.
Actually, Naruto really wanted to learn the Ninja run, which is the running style where both hands are held back.
In the entire Naruto World, everyone ran like that, except for Orochimaru, who believed in science.
And the running posture Zephyr taught was more scientifically inclined.
"Sigh, it looks like I won't be able to do the Ninja run anymore!"
Naruto sighed inwardly, and at the same time, his running speed became faster and faster under Zephyr's guidance.
Just as the two were about to reach the training ground, a figure in a white training uniform caught their attention.
The person was not old, probably not much older than Naruto, looking to be about six or seven years old.
The boy had thick eyebrows, large eyes, and his hair was tied into a long braid.
At this moment, the boy's face was covered in sweat, and even his hair was matted together by sweat. It was clear that the boy had been running for some time.
Naruto and Zephyr recognized the boy's identity at first glance: it was Rock Lee, one of the Konoha Twelve Rookies from a few years later.
Rock Lee was a failed Ninja with no talent for Ninjutsu or Genjutsu.
Everyone thought he couldn't become a Ninja, and Rock Lee initially thought so too.
Fortunately, he met one of the most important people in his life, Might Guy. With Might Guy's encouragement, Rock Lee embarked on the path of a Taijutsu Ninja.
But the hardships of a Taijutsu Ninja were not something an ordinary person could endure.
Little Lee, who was running, also saw Naruto and Zephyr.
Little Lee was a bit confused, not only because someone else was up so early to train besides him, but also because these two people looked identical.
A somewhat confused Little Lee ran up to Naruto and Zephyr.
"Excuse me, are you also training early in the morning?"
Hearing Little Lee's words, Naruto smiled, and then somewhat laboriously extended a hand to introduce himself, "Hello, my name is Uzumaki Naruto!"
Seeing this, Little Lee also extended a hand, but because he had fallen earlier, there was some dirt on his hand, so he didn't immediately shake Naruto's hand.
Naruto smiled, not minding, and directly reached out to shake Little Lee's hand.
"I... my name is Rock Lee."
Just then, Zephyr walked to Little Lee's side and began to pinch him all over with both hands.
This made Little Lee look at Naruto awkwardly.
Naruto also smiled awkwardly and said, "This is my Shadow Clone, and also my supervising teacher!"
Hearing that Zephyr was Naruto's Shadow Clone and also his supervising teacher, Little Lee's eyes immediately lit up.
Little Lee's method of physical training was learned from Might Guy, and the specific method was self-discipline.
This kind of self-discipline could be said to be extremely testing of willpower.
And the fact that Naruto could think of using a Shadow Clone to discipline himself for training made Little Lee very impressed and envious.
"Little Lee, you can't continue training like this anymore!"
Zephyr, who had finished pinching Little Lee all over, stood up and said in a very serious tone.
