Moreover, during the battle, Naruto also tried to use his new Ninjutsu.
"Wind Release: Violent Wind Palm!"
However, even though he could use this move now, just as Asuma said, it couldn't unleash any destructive power.
At most, it could only blow a gust of wind, stirring up a bit of dust.
Even if it hit an enemy, it would only ruffle their clothes and hair, causing no damage.
The enemy opposite Naruto was his other imaginary opponent.
Hyuga Neji.
"Gentle Fist... Eight Trigrams Palm!"
A fierce combo attack left Naruto feeling like he was in heaven and hell.
Without borrowing the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Chakra, being hit by the Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palm essentially meant losing the ability to fight.
Because the Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palm can seal Chakra points, preventing a Ninja from continuing to refine and use Chakra, which means they can only be slaughtered.
"Damn it, what kind of power is that? It's practically a Ninja's bane!"
Hyuga Neji didn't hide it either.
"Hmph, this is our Hyuga Clan's Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palm, a power completely different from ordinary Taijutsu, or rather, beyond the Hard Fist.
It emphasizes a single, fatal blow, using gentleness to overcome hardness.
With the Byakugan's Bloodline Limit, it can precisely strike Chakra points, making you lose all fighting ability!"
Naruto frowned; he was no longer the ignorant Diao Che Wei he once was.
"Chakra points? So that's it, can it even do something like that?!"
"Of course! The Byakugan can see through all Chakra, and it can see through, observing the meridians, points, and Chakra flow within your body.
Combined with the precise control of Chakra in Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palm, striking a point is as easy as turning my hand for me!"
Naruto's heart stirred: "Precise control of Chakra..."
"That's right! Speaking of that, Hyuga Neji, you must be very good at it, right?!"
Hyuga Neji sneered: "Nonsense!"
"Even within the Hyuga Clan, even among the branch family members, no one can match my talent!"
"I can precisely control and release Chakra from any part of my body!"
Naruto was overjoyed and immediately clasped his hands together in a plea.
"Then... then can you teach me?"
"Please!"
Hyuga Neji: "???"
Chapter 82: Rapid Improvement! The Future's Number One Wind Release User! Please give me your monthly votes!!!
Even in his sleep, Hyuga Neji couldn't help but frown, his expression very ugly!
"You... you want me to teach you?!"
He looked at Naruto opposite him with disbelief, staring at him as if he were an idiot.
But Naruto's expression was very serious.
Even... reverent!
"That's right! Since you're so good at this, then lend me a hand!"
"Please!"
Hyuga Neji snorted coldly: "Why should I teach you?!"
"You clearly treat me as an enemy and even promised to defeat me within a year!"
Naruto's eyes darted around, a plan forming in his mind.
"Heh, precisely because of that, you should teach me even more!"
"What, are you afraid I'll become too strong and won't be your match then?"
Hyuga Neji let out a cold laugh.
"Such a low-level taunt won't work on me."
Naruto put his hands behind his head, closed his eyes, and laughed.
"Oh, and they call him a genius.
If he can't even lead me, what kind of genius is he!"
"What did you say?!"
"A true genius should be omnipotent, capable of teaching even a Diao Che Wei like me to become an excellent Ninja!"
Hyuga Neji snorted: "Nonsense!"
"Then just consider it nonsense!"
"Forget it, forget it, I'll just ask Hinata to teach me."
"She's also from the Hyuga Clan, also has the Byakugan and Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palm, and she's from the main family, so she'll definitely teach better than you..."
When Hyuga Neji heard the words 'main family', he couldn't help but clench his fists.
But the Hyuga Neji simulated in the dream was no different from the real one.
He also knew that Hinata had been tutoring Naruto.
Therefore, Naruto's words were not groundless.
"Uzumaki Naruto, are you trying to provoke me this way?"
"Fine, you succeeded."
"I'll tell you the trick to precisely controlling Chakra.
I want to see how much you're truly worth once you've mastered this power!"
Naruto was overjoyed: "Good, good, good! Then let's make a bet!"
He was actually just trying his luck.
Who would have thought that the opponent simulated in his dream could actually guide him... but this was not strange.
He had already discovered when he first entered the dream that the environment simulated here was no different from reality.
The heavens and earth, the environment, the climate, the buildings, and even the onlookers watching the battle, all were lifelike, each with the same temper and personality as in reality.
This was the benefit of being too real.
Hyuga Neji said in a deep voice: "Before I teach you, let me see what level you've reached."
Naruto immediately agreed, put his hands behind his back, and climbed up a large tree nearby using only his feet.
Clap, clap, clap—
With speed and inertia, he could already easily climb to the very top.
Hyuga Neji sneered: "Slow down, climb step by step!"
Naruto's heart stirred; this guy really understood... He took a deep breath, then indeed slowed down, raising his feet and stepping up one by one.
However, doing so drastically increased the difficulty.
Naruto only climbed three or four steps before falling down, landing heavily on the ground.
"Hmph, is that all you can do?!"
Although Naruto was grateful that he agreed to help him train, seeing his arrogant attitude still made Naruto furious.
"If you can do it, you go up!"
Hyuga Neji snorted, not wasting any words, he put his hands behind his back, used only his feet, and moved like flowing water, walking from the ground to the tree trunk, then leisurely strolling all the way to the treetop.
It seemed there was no pause at all, incredibly smooth, as if walking on flat ground!
The tree trunk was simply part of the ground!
Naruto couldn't help but widen his eyes, full of admiration: "How, how amazing..."
Hyuga Neji leaped down, his expression arrogant.
"Do you understand the difference between a Diao Che Wei and a genius?"
"You!"
Naruto took another deep breath, put on a smiling face, and rubbed his hands.
"I, I understand... So, can the genius teach me now?"
Seeing Naruto's change in attitude, Hyuga Neji had nothing more to say and could only guide him as agreed.
Actually, the current Naruto could no longer be called a Diao Che Wei.
Among the same class of students at the Ninja Academy, he ranked fourth in overall scores; if cultural subjects were excluded, he was undoubtedly the first!
Such a person could even be called a genius.
Coupled with his existing experience in tree climbing, after hearing the tricks from Hyuga Neji, he quickly understood them instantly, grasping the essence immediately.
That night, Naruto didn't fight many rounds.
However, he climbed trees all night long... When he woke up the next day, his Chakra precise control proficiency had actually increased to a full 70 points!
He gained 4 points just from sleeping!
It must be said that although Hyuga Neji was arrogant, he was indeed very skilled... Naruto's emotions were complex, feeling both grateful and a little annoyed.
He quickly finished breakfast, first waited by the window for Hinata for a while, and seeing that she didn't arrive for a long time, he knew she probably couldn't come out today, so he nodded and walked towards Asuma Sarutobi's house.
"Asuma Sensei!"
"Come on, come on!"
Asuma Sarutobi had just woken up, rubbed his eyes, lit a cigarette, and took a puff.
He frowned: "Naruto, you're really early..."
"What do you want me to see?"
Naruto chuckled and climbed up the big tree in the yard.
This time, he didn't run up or use any speed or inertia; he just slowly stepped up with his feet, parallel to the ground, walking upwards step by step.
Clap—
Clap, clap, clap!
He actually walked directly to seven or eight tenths of the height!
Then, seeing that he was about to fall, he suddenly grabbed a branch and flipped onto it.
He crossed his arms over his chest and smiled triumphantly.
"How's that, Asuma Sensei!"
Asuma Sarutobi was greatly surprised, almost dropping the cigarette from his mouth.
"In just one night, how did your Chakra control improve so much?!"
"Naruto, what, what have you been doing?!"
Naruto rubbed his nose: "Hehe, nothing much, just training!"
Looking at Naruto's calm expression, Asuma Sarutobi seemed to see the scene of Naruto quietly and desperately training after returning home that night, and couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart... "He's already so strong, yet he still works so hard, as if his life depends on it?"
"This guy, he really is..."
Asuma praised: "Naruto, as expected of you!"
"At this rate, in less than ten days, your Chakra control will reach perfection!"
"Come down now, let me see how your Wind Release: Gale Palm is progressing."
