"Alright!"
Naruto leaped down, then formed hand seals, activating his Ninjutsu once more.
"Wind Release: Violent Wind Palm!"
As his Chakra control became more precise, the power of the Wind Release: Violent Wind Palm indeed grew stronger!
Whoosh—
Crackle!
He clapped his hands together with a loud smack, and a fierce gust of wind suddenly erupted!
In an instant, sand and stones flew, dust billowed, and with Naruto's hands as the core, a violent wind roared outwards in all directions!
Asuma Sarutobi couldn't help but shield his eyes with his arm.
"Good heavens..."
"Once the precision of control increases, the advantage of a massive Chakra reserve is instantly brought to its fullest potential..."
"Although the Ninjutsu itself is still imperfect, its strength lies in its sheer power..."
"Naruto, this guy, really seems capable of elevating Wind Release Ninjutsu to an unprecedented level!"
At this moment, Asuma Sarutobi finally fully acknowledged Naruto.
He said in a deep voice, "Good, Naruto, from this moment on, I will truly teach you!"
"Not just the Wind Release: Violent Wind Palm, but all kinds of Wind Release Ninjutsu, knowledge, techniques, and secrets, I will impart to you without reservation!"
"As for how much you can comprehend, that will depend on your own ability!"
Naruto was instantly overjoyed: "R-really?!"
"Thank you, Teacher Asuma!"
"I will definitely cultivate with all my might!"
Chapter 83: Return to Hell! Rebirth in Blood! Double Tomoe Sharingan! Please give me your monthly votes!!!
The reason Asuma Sarutobi agreed to teach was partly because he genuinely recognized Naruto's potential.
Naruto's own strength was already formidable enough.
Among his peers, he was truly a leader!
And his potential was even more unparalleled.
At the same time, he possessed an unmatched will, striving with all his might, cultivating relentlessly at any cost!
Such fighting spirit was enough to ignite anyone.
On the other hand... for Asuma, having such an 'apprentice' was also a rare and fortunate occurrence.
One must know that Wind Release Ninja were already extremely rare.
What's more, a Wind Release Ninja with such a promising future like Naruto?
They say a good teacher is hard to find, but in reality, isn't a talented student just as hard to come by?!
Of course, there was also a very practical reason... Asuma Sarutobi had just returned to Konoha Village after leaving the Twelve Guardian Ninja.
Currently, he hadn't yet become the later squad Jonin, nor had he begun executing missions.
He was in a rare state of leisure.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have had the time and energy.
"Naruto, since I've decided to teach you, I will never break my word."
"However, you must also be mentally prepared; cultivating Ninjutsu is not only fraught with difficulties but also very monotonous and boring..."
Naruto thought to himself, 'I've even endured system big brother's electric shocks, what kind of difficulty can I not bear?!'
He clenched his fists: "Teacher Asuma, don't worry!"
"I will never give up!"
"Very well, then, let's begin now..."
Asuma Sarutobi then began to wholeheartedly guide Naruto.
Regarding his mastery of Wind Release Ninjutsu, in the entire Konoha Village, besides Danzo Shimura, no one could surpass him!
Looking across the entire Ninja World, there were few teachers more suitable than him.
Naruto was also immensely grateful in his heart.
With such a renowned teacher's guidance, his strength would definitely advance by leaps and bounds!
Not to mention, the small goal system big brother set for him... to fully master the Wind Release: Gale Palm within ten days!
At this rate, he might even master it within five days!
Naruto chuckled, filled with confidence and anticipation for the future for the first time... Meanwhile.
Uchiha Clan compound.
Empty and desolate.
Sasuke once again came to the family's secret room, where many surviving Ninjutsu scrolls were arrayed.
However, he had actually searched through them many times already.
On the highest shelf of the cabinet, Sasuke finally touched the last scroll.
"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique..."
"Learning difficulty, B-rank, Jonin-level..."
Sasuke stared at the characters on the scroll, fiercely clenching his fists, holding the scroll tightly in his palm.
Jonin-level difficulty... never mind if he could learn it, even if he did, would he be able to defeat Naruto?
Sasuke was actually very doubtful deep down.
Why did he lose to Naruto... was it because the other party's Shadow Clone Technique was too abnormal?
Yes.
Was the other party's Taijutsu too overbearing?
Also yes.
But, ultimately, it wasn't about these external techniques.
It was about the fundamental power.
Sasuke was a person skilled at analysis, especially when his mind was calm.
The initial unwillingness and anger from losing to Naruto were now suppressed deep within him, forcing himself to calm down, and he quickly understood the mystery behind it.
"That guy, Naruto..."
"Being able to master a high-level Ninjutsu like the Shadow Clone Technique, it's not just that his Ninjutsu talent was underestimated, but his massive Chakra reserve is the fundamental reason..."
"Moreover, that guy's physical strength is also quite terrifying, which allows him to unleash such powerful Taijutsu..."
Sasuke's eyes gleamed as he looked at his own hands.
"My Chakra reserve isn't as much as his, and my Taijutsu and strength can't compare to his..."
"These things cannot be compensated by learning a few more Ninjutsu."
"So-called combat is essentially about two things..."
"Highlighting strengths and avoiding weaknesses, that's all."
"Since I can't surpass Naruto in Chakra reserve and strength, I can only maximize my own advantages..."
Sasuke was also very clear about where his advantages lay.
"The insight of the Sharingan, mastery of Ninjutsu, and I'm also superior in Taijutsu techniques..."
"So, to leverage my strengths..."
"First, continue to refine Taijutsu techniques. If I can't win with strength, I'll suppress that guy with technique!"
"Taijutsu, Kenjutsu, Shuriken Technique, combined with the Sharingan, utilizing steel wire, kunai, Shuriken, and various other tools to execute dazzling attacks!"
"Secondly, advance further in Ninjutsu, mastering more Ninjutsu to more comprehensively counter Naruto's offensives."
"Finally..."
"And most crucially..."
"The ocular power of the Sharingan!"
Sasuke knew very well that no matter his talent, the Sharingan would always be his greatest reliance and backing!
As long as the ocular power of the Sharingan improved, his strength would surge dramatically!
But the problem was... how to improve the ocular power of the Sharingan?!
Without family or clan members, no one could answer Sasuke's question.
But in fact, he had already vaguely understood the key.
Because... "The first time I awakened the Sharingan was on that night..."
"Undoubtedly, extreme pain, anger, despair, and hatred are what allow the Sharingan to awaken and its ocular power to increase!"
"Then..."
At this moment, Sasuke already had a way to strengthen his ocular power.
"In the past, I suppressed my emotions too much..."
"Because it was too painful, I simply didn't dare to let myself recall the tragic scenes of that night..."
"But it's precisely because of this cowardice that the ocular power of the Sharingan has never been able to increase!"
Sasuke clenched his fists fiercely.
"Starting today, I will force myself again and again to immerse myself in the pain and hatred of that night!"
"Only in this way can my ocular power rapidly increase!"
It must be said, this was indeed the most suitable, yet also the most cruel, method to increase his strength... But Sasuke did not hesitate.
For the first time in many years... he allowed his memories to resurface.
Blood red!
A field of blood red!
A crimson full moon enveloped the entire Uchiha Clan compound, as if the whole world was permeated with the color of blood!
Little Sasuke, returning excitedly from his training, suddenly saw the tragic scene on the street... corpses strewn everywhere, blood flowing like rivers!
"Ah ah ah ah ah—"
