For example, Uchiha Sasuke can now perfectly unleash several Fire Release Ninjutsu.
But in reality, Sasuke's control over Chakra is not perfect either.
His control over Chakra is also quite lacking.
Sakura Haruno is the one truly skilled at precise Chakra control.
Therefore, although Sasuke can perform Ninjutsu, he actually wastes a lot of Chakra in both its refinement and control.
Naruto, of course, is even worse.
He's all about brute force, with a massive amount of Chakra, but his precise control is completely nonexistent.
That's why he quickly mastered Shadow Clone, but is very bad at Clone Technique.
Naruto's training now is essentially starting from scratch.
Naruto trained desperately, not giving up for an entire day.
It's just a pity... some things aren't successful just by trying hard.
Just the first step, transforming Chakra into Wind, left him utterly clueless.
After an entire day, Naruto's proficiency increase was almost negligible.
This made his good mood about achieving his goal quickly vanish... he couldn't even sleep peacefully at night... It was the second day of summer vacation.
A dejected Naruto suddenly saw Hinata's figure downstairs by the window.
This made him grin instantly.
His mood had finally improved quite a bit.
Because it was a holiday, Hinata was dressed much more casually, and even wore a rare little dress to see Naruto, still wearing a sun hat, looking very much like a summer beach style, which, coupled with Hinata's beauty, made Naruto's heart stir slightly.
Seeing him staring blankly at her, Hinata couldn't help but blush, pulling down her sun hat and softly saying,
"Naruto-kun, what are you looking at..."
Naruto also realized something was amiss and quickly scratched his head, chuckling three times.
"Ah ha, ah ha, no, nothing..."
Since it was a pre-arranged tutoring session, the two didn't delay and quickly began studying.
However, Naruto was still a bit distracted, thinking about his lack of progress in Ninjutsu training.
Hinata, being sensitive and thoughtful, quickly noticed his unusual behavior.
"Naruto-kun, do you have something on your mind?"
Although Naruto couldn't reveal the existence of the system, he roughly explained.
"I'm trying to train Wind Release Ninjutsu, but I'm making absolutely no progress..."
"Hinata, do you have any good ideas?"
Hinata blinked: "Hmm..."
"The best way, of course, is..."
"To find a senior Ninja skilled in Wind Release Ninjutsu to guide you."
Naruto's heart stirred: "A senior skilled in Wind Release Ninjutsu?!"
"That makes sense!"
"But... who should I look for?!"
Chapter 77: A Teacher Skilled in Wind Release? Who could it be! Please give me monthly votes!!!
Naruto also had a sudden realization when he heard Hinata's suggestion.
However, such a thing is easier said than done; how easy is it to find a good teacher?!
In this Ninja World, among the factors that determine a Ninja's potential limit... a famous teacher is paramount!
Especially for civilian Ninja, those without family inheritances.
If Sakura Haruno hadn't met Tsunade, her lifelong potential would probably have been just an ordinary Chunin at best.
The current Naruto is the same.
He worried, "But where can I find such a senior to guide me?"
Hinata thought for a moment, then shook her head.
"Actually, most Ninja in the Village are on missions."
"Those who can guide juniors are the Jonin who lead teams."
"However, even Jonin who lead teams only teach their own squads; where would they have time to care about others?"
"Not to mention, a Wind Release Ninja who is just right for Naruto-kun..."
"Ninja skilled in Wind Release are already very, very rare..."
Naruto could only sigh.
"Never mind, I'll think of another way."
"Hinata, let's continue with the tutoring for now!"
"Okay, Naruto-kun..."
The morning tutoring session quickly passed, and Naruto felt he had benefited greatly.
He enthusiastically asked Hinata to stay for lunch again, and the two went to the kitchen together and then enjoyed a delicious meal together.
Hinata was reluctant to leave.
"Naruto-kun, what are you planning to do next?"
Naruto scratched his head: "Since Wind Release Ninjutsu training isn't working out, I'll go to the training ground to train Taijutsu first..."
"Mhm, good luck, Naruto-kun, I... I'll also work hard with Naruto-kun!"
Naruto smiled generously: "Okay! Let's work hard together!"
Hinata then tilted her head, revealing a gentle and sweet smile, and waved goodbye to Naruto.
Watching Hinata's retreating figure, Naruto sighed.
Compared to Taijutsu, he really wanted to train Ninjutsu now.
It's just that there really was no progress... He shook his head and headed towards the training ground as planned.
However... on the training ground at this moment, Rock Lee wasn't the only one there... "Lee! Eh..."
Naruto was about to excitedly greet him when he noticed that not only Rock Lee, but also Bushy Brow Sensei Might Guy, and that annoying Hyuga Neji, plus another female Ninja, were all there.
"Hmm? What's going on?!"
Rock Lee heard Naruto's shout, smiled brightly, and waved back at him from afar.
"It's Naruto! Sorry, starting today, I probably can't train with you anymore!"
"Wh-why?!"
Might Guy laughed loudly: "Naruto, don't you understand yet?!"
"Because Lee here is already a member of our Team 3!"
"Te-Team 3?!"
Naruto's heart stirred, and then he suddenly understood.
Rock Lee was one year above him, had successfully graduated from the Ninja Academy, and had joined a Jonin-led team.
In other words... he was already a true Genin.
Naruto could see Rock Lee's extremely excited expression.
Because he had found the teacher most suitable for him, Might Guy!
Naruto couldn't help but feel envious.
"Congratulations, Lee, on graduating successfully and joining Bushy Brow Sensei's team!"
Rock Lee gave a thumbs up: "I'm so excited too! I didn't expect to join Teacher Guy's squad!"
"It's simply the greatest luck of my life!"
If it had been yesterday, Naruto might have been just as excited for Lee.
But now, while he was still happy for him, there was also a hint of disappointment.
Because... starting today, Rock Lee had found his exclusive teacher.
And he hadn't.
Not only did he not have a teacher, but he had also lost Lee, who he used to train with.
Naruto still forced a smile and gave Rock Lee a thumbs up.
The female Ninja Tenten next to them sized Naruto up and down.
"Uzumaki Naruto..."
"So he's the guy who's been making such a splash recently..."
"I heard he defeated that genius Ninja Uchiha Sasuke..."
Hyuga Neji, nearby, just snorted coldly.
Rock Lee, however, said loudly: "Yes, that's him!"
"Naruto and I also have a promise with Neji; we're going to have a fair fight with him in a year to decide the winner!"
Tenten frowned: "With Neji?"
"Although I don't want to say this, it doesn't seem like you two have much of a chance..."
Might Guy laughed loudly: "Is that so?"
"So that's how it is!"
"Regardless of victory or defeat, having a rival is a good thing! It pushes and motivates you to improve even more!"
"Take me, for example; I have a lifelong rival, and his name is..."
"Kakashi Hatake!"
Tenten said: "Kakashi Hatake? That Copy Ninja with the Sharingan?"
"Teacher Guy, I heard he's a famous genius, renowned throughout the Ninja World, relatively speaking, you don't seem to have much fame..."
Might Guy didn't mind: "That's right! He is indeed a genius! However, in my battles with him so far, I'm the one who has won more times!"
Although Tenten didn't answer, her pouting expression clearly showed she didn't believe him.
"Kakashi Hatake?"
Naruto's heart stirred, and he suddenly had a bold idea.
"ano sa, ano sa..."
