"So hard…"
"Chakra control, I'm really not good at it after all…"
Naruto also understood his own shortcomings.
However… "Ah, that's right, I'm not good at Chakra control, so I should find something I am good at!"
Naruto chuckled, a new idea forming.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
Bang bang bang—
Instantly, he created three Shadow Clones, and the four Narutos gathered in a circle, staring at each other.
"Alright! I'm telling you guys, we have to climb to the top within three days, or system big brother will electrocute us all!"
"Now let's have a competition and see who can climb up first!"
The three Shadow Clone Narutos were not to be outdone: "Oh!"
"It's definitely me!"
"It's me!"
For a time, the four Narutos eagerly practiced, vying for first place.
"Ha!"
Bang—
"Watch me!"
Bang!
"I'm the first one!"
Bang!!!
...Facing the bewildered stares of passersby, Naruto didn't slack off in the slightest, training from one or two in the afternoon until seven or eight in the evening.
Finally… "Ha ah!"
Bang, bang!
Naruto's main body finally managed to step up repeatedly, this time lasting for three or four steps!
"Aha! There's hope!"
Naruto was overjoyed; three or four steps already meant four or five meters up!
However, he didn't control the next step well, and Naruto still fell heavily.
But… "Hiss… If I keep this up, I'll definitely be able to climb to the top within three days!"
He wanted to continue, but he collapsed to the ground, unable to get up, gasping for air.
He had clearly reached his limit.
Subsequently… the three Shadow Clones also couldn't maintain their forms, one by one turning into white smoke.
Instantly, the experience from the Shadow Clone training flooded in, but at the same time, fatigue and pain also returned to Naruto's main body.
In an instant, Naruto felt an unimaginable soreness and pain.
"Ah ah ah ah—"
He writhed on the ground in pain, but amidst the suffering, he also felt that he seemed to have gained some new insights… So.
Naruto struggled to get up, and although he was gasping heavily, he decided to try one last time with the Shadow Clone's experience… He gritted his teeth and roared.
"Come on!"
In an instant, all his remaining Chakra converged at his feet, and with focused comprehension, he stepped, and then stepped again, lightly treading on the tree trunk!
Three steps, four steps!
Five steps, six steps… seven steps!
He actually took seven steps, and his right hand even reached the highest branch!
Naruto instantly grabbed it, then flipped his body, allowing himself to stand firmly on the branch!
"I, I succeeded!"
Naruto could hardly believe it; a task he thought impossible to complete… was finished in just one day?!
He was incredibly excited, ignoring his full-body fatigue and pain, and immediately leaped down, racing towards Asuma Sarutobi's house… Chapter 80: Wind Release Ninja Body Technique? The Path Best Suited for Naruto! Please give monthly votes!!!
"What?!"
"You, you said… you've already completed the tree-climbing test?!"
Asuma Sarutobi faced the panting yet overjoyed Naruto, utterly shocked.
Although tree-climbing training wasn't a highly difficult form of cultivation.
But based on Naruto's talent that he had observed before, it should have taken at least four or five days to complete.
Yet now, it only took one day!
To be precise… just one afternoon!
Such talent was completely different from his predictions; he was truly a genius!
One must know that Naruto's Chakra reserves were enormous; if his Chakra manipulation was also exceptionally talented, then he would be almost completely invincible!
This was like having a mine at home and managing it well at the same time!
Asuma Sarutobi even felt a bit envious.
He was certainly no ordinary person; when it came to precise Chakra control, he was also a top-notch expert!
However, his Chakra reserves were not nearly as vast.
"Hmm, you said you completed it, can you show me?"
Asuma Sarutobi calmed down.
Naruto excitedly said: "Of course, no problem!"
Although he had just exhausted his Chakra, Naruto was now [Multitasking], and the Chakra Refining Technique was almost passively active at all times.
Along the way, he had already recovered some.
He took a deep breath, facing Asuma Sarutobi's inspection, he was well-prepared.
"Chakra control, gather at the soles of my feet…"
"Here I go!"
Naruto suddenly shouted, leaped up, and alternately stepped on the tree trunk with his left and right feet, adhering with the attached Chakra, moving rapidly upward, and soon approached the highest point of the trunk.
Then, he suddenly grabbed with his arm, swung his body around, and stood firmly on the branch!
Asuma Sarutobi couldn't help but praise him.
"Good!"
Naruto dropped from the height, also couldn't help but give a smug chuckle.
Asuma Sarutobi said seriously: "I originally thought that with your talent, it would take at least three or four days to complete."
"I didn't expect you to do it in just one afternoon…"
"Naruto, it seems you are also a true genius."
Naruto didn't hide it: "Actually, I used Shadow Clones to train together."
"After dispelling the Shadow Clones, the results of their training also return to the main body."
"That's why I could master it so quickly!"
But Asuma Sarutobi was even more surprised.
"That may be true, but training with Shadow Clones is no joke…"
"Once you exhaust your Chakra or even your stamina, there's a risk to your life!"
"Naruto, you really are that eager to get stronger?!"
"Even at the risk of your life?!"
Naruto clenched his fists: "Oh!"
"I must become stronger, so that everyone can acknowledge my existence, and then…"
"Become Hokage!"
Asuma Sarutobi's heart stirred.
"Become Hokage, huh?"
"That's your dream…"
"That's right! And I'll be the strongest Hokage, surpassing all previous Hokage!"
Asuma Sarutobi smiled slightly.
"Is that so?"
"That's a very good dream…"
Naruto scratched his head and laughed: "Let's not talk about that for now, Asuma-sensei, I've completed the tree-climbing test, so you can teach me Wind Release Ninjutsu now, right?!"
Asuma Sarutobi laughed: "Actually, I've already been teaching you."
"The tree-climbing test is essentially a form of training."
"It tests your precise control over Chakra, including refining, calling forth, gathering, maintaining, and so on."
"Now, you've gained some insight."
Naruto was first stunned, then overjoyed.
"I see! Asuma-sensei, you're really cunning!"
Asuma laughed: "You can try that Ninjutsu again now."
Naruto was inexplicably excited: "Alright!"
"Boar! Dragon! Hands clasped!"
"Wind Release: Gale Palm!"
In an instant—
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Indeed, a gust of wind, as Naruto clapped his hands together, roared out from his palms, scattering in all directions!
"I, I succeeded!"
Naruto couldn't help but be overjoyed.
