Chapter 149 Last-Minute Cramming
Chapter 149 Last-Minute Cramming
Tsunami, that's Tazuna's daughter's name. She's a very capable-looking woman, and although there's a hint of weariness in her eyes from long-term worries, she still warmly welcomed Team 7.
After enjoying a delicious dinner featuring local seafood, the group decided to rest early and recharge.
Since there were limited rooms, everyone slept on the floor in the spacious living room. The living room was quite large, with plenty of room for all of them to sleep.
However, as Naruto was getting ready to sleep, he noticed that Satsuki's gaze kept glancing at the storage scroll she kept by her pillow, as if it contained something extremely important that she needed to constantly check on.
The next morning, after having a simple breakfast prepared by Tsuna, Daz went to the bridge construction site to continue his work.
Kakashi, considering that Zabuza Momochi had not been killed and that the enemy had gained an ally who could use the rare Ice Release Kekkei Genkai, found the situation to be increasingly complicated and dangerous.
In order to improve the team's overall response capabilities, he decided to have the team train immediately.
He led the three to a relatively secluded and quiet clearing in the woods near the bridge. Then, he directly instructed Naruto and Satsuki, "You two can train on your own to consolidate and improve your existing abilities."
Then, he turned his attention entirely to Sakura and began to explain and demonstrate the most basic chakra control training in detail—tree climbing.
Now it's certain that Kakashi must have secretly observed his and Satsuki's usual training.
When Naruto saw Kakashi so confidently adopting a "hands-off" attitude towards him and Sasuke, he immediately understood why.
Otherwise, he would never have let it go like this.
Satsuki remained focused on refining her ninjutsu and ninja tool throwing skills. In the forest, blazing fireballs and hissing, leaping lightning clashed, accompanied by the sharp, resounding sounds of shuriken and kunai striking distant targets with precision.
Although Sazuki did feel unprecedented fear yesterday when facing Zabuza's terrifying killing intent honed amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, in reality, Sazuki's current strength has already far surpassed the level of an ordinary Chunin.
Not only did she awaken the three-tomoe Sharingan on the night of the clan's massacre, a skill that even many Jonin might not be able to activate, but in the days that followed, she was personally taught and given everything she knew by Fugaku Uchiha, the former Uchiha clan leader with rich combat experience.
Based solely on her theoretical strength and the level of ninjutsu she has mastered, she has even reached the threshold of Special Jonin.
The reason I was intimidated by Zabuza's murderous aura yesterday was mainly due to the vast difference in their combat experience and the sheer number of life-or-death battles they had fought.
Zabuza is a "demon" who survived the Blood Mist Village policy, while Satsuki is just a genin who has just graduated and is encountering this level of killing intent for the first time.
After completing a thoroughly enjoyable taijutsu warm-up, Naruto did not continue to study the forbidden techniques in the Scroll of Seals.
Even if I managed to learn the [Multiplicative Explosive Tags] technique, I wouldn't have enough explosive tags on me to support it.
Moreover, using such a forbidden technique of mutual destruction against Zabuza would be making a mountain out of a molehill. Besides, Naruto didn't want to kill Zabuza and Haku; he was hoping to recruit them into his "Jin" organization.
These complex forbidden techniques can wait until we return to the village, where there is a safer environment and more resources, before we can study them properly.
At this moment, he prefers to develop a new combination ninjutsu that is more suitable for the current situation, has controllable power, and is more practical in combat. His idea is very clear.
First, he threw out the giant shuriken made of exceptionally tough steel produced by the system as a carrier. Then, he immediately used wind-style ninjutsu to accelerate it and add cutting force, while Zuo Yue simultaneously used fire-style ninjutsu to wrap the scorching flames around it.
The ultimate goal is to create a devastating flying weapon that is simultaneously wreathed in raging wind blades and scorching flames!
He even wanted to try further, to see if he could use the [Shadow Clone Technique] on the giant shuriken enhanced by the complex ninjutsu after throwing it, making it split into multiple clones to create a devastating, all-encompassing attack!
It can be said that if this attack hits perfectly, any ninja below the Kage level would be severely injured, if not killed!
Naruto had already come up with a name for this technique, which was still in the planning stages.
Wind and Fire Release: Spinning Blade Scorching Storm Infinite Hand-Slaying Sword Shadow Burial Zero Style!
After coming up with the name, Naruto felt a little embarrassed, realizing that he did indeed seem a bit immature.
But when he asked for Satsuki's opinion, Satsuki simply nodded slightly, "Very good, the name has a lot of your style, Naruto." To her, it seemed that any name chosen by Naruto was good.
After a while, Sakura returned. Just like in the original work, she displayed an extremely high talent in the exquisite manipulation of chakra and quickly completed the tree-climbing training.
After Kakashi-sensei passed the test, he "sent" Sakura back so she could continue training with the others, while he himself went to the bridge construction site again to protect Tazuna.
Afterwards, under Naruto's arrangement, Sakura began taijutsu training to improve her physical fitness. Actually, back in Konoha, Naruto had originally planned to lend Sakura his old weighted physical training equipment, hoping it would help her improve faster.
However, when Satsuki heard that the device was "the one Naruto used," she almost didn't hesitate and immediately went to buy a brand new, similar weight-bearing device, and handed it to Sakura, her tone leaving no room for refusal, "You use this."
As for Naruto's old methods? Satsuki calmly and naturally adopted them. Naruto was a little confused by Satsuki's actions.
The first day of bridge construction went smoothly, with no one attacking. After finishing their work and training, everyone returned to Daizuna's house... and there they encountered a child who seemed to have experienced a lot, an EMO.
