From the night of genocide, marching towards the strongest.

Like a dragon entering the sea, the water dragon had just poured into the water when suddenly there was a loud bang, as if a huge water mine had been detonated. Huge water splashed out, so big that even Sakura, who was behind, was slightly wet.

Along with the splashing water, powerful gusts of wind shot out in all directions, and the wind and water droplets made a loud splashing sound as they hit the shore!

Seeing this, Kosuke Maruhoshi, who was some distance away on the shore, nodded and gave a kind smile.

As the water gradually subsided, Sakura breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with delight, while Maruboshi Kosuke's friendly voice drifted over from afar.

"Sakura, it seems you have mastered this ninjutsu."

"With your talent, you should have mastered the Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet, a common B-rank ninjutsu, very easily. But do you know why it took you nearly two months to master it?"

Sakura shook her head, looking blank: "I don't know."

"Because this is not an ordinary Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet, but a Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet that the Second Hokage personally improved and taught to me!" Maruboshi Kosuke smiled, his voice unusually loud, and his tone was full of accomplishment and pride.

"Huh!?" Sakura's eyes widened in surprise as she asked:

"The Second Hokage's improved Water Release technique?"

"Not bad!" Maruboshi Kosuke nodded and continued, "The ordinary Water Dragon Bullet creates a water dragon behind you and rushes forward, using the impact of the water to knock the enemy far away. It is a B-rank water-style ninjutsu that requires 44 hand seals. But the Water Dragon Bullet improved by the Second Hokage is different. It can definitely be called an A-rank ninjutsu!"

"Not only is it more powerful than a regular water dragon bullet, but the hand seals are also only four simple seals, and this technique also has the effect of absorbing chakra!"

"Wow, that's amazing! No wonder it's the ninjutsu that the Second Hokage improved!" Sakura nodded and said with a look of admiration.

"Then, Grandpa Kosuke..."

Sakura seemed to remember something and quickly asked, "Was the Water Release: Water Wall technique that you taught me also taught by the Second Hokage?"

"Hmm!" Maruboshi Kosuke nodded slightly, a smile playing on his lips.

“A normal water formation wall requires five seals: Yin-Si-Zi-Si-Yin, but the Second Generation Lord’s water formation wall only requires two seals: Yin-Si, and its power is also stronger than that of a normal water formation wall!”

Upon hearing this, Sakura was overjoyed, her inner thoughts being—(≧▽≦)/

Grandpa Kosuke was a disciple of the second generation, and I am Grandpa Kosuke's disciple.

Then I can be considered the grand-disciple of the Second Generation Master.

I'm from a prestigious school!

Hey!

Sakura thought to herself happily.

Just as Sakura was lost in her own fantasies, Kosuke Maruboshi appeared beside her and said, "Sakura, there's not much I can teach you anymore. You'll be graduating from the Ninja Academy and becoming a ninja in a month, so I'll pass on to you the only S-rank Water Release technique that the Second Hokage taught me!"

"An S-rank Water Release technique?"

Sakura paused, then murmured.

"Watch closely, Sakura!"

Maruhoshi Kosuke gave a soft shout.

"Water Release: Water Severing Wave!"

The back mountain of Konoha.

"Konoha Power Cyclone!"

Naruto roared, stomped his foot, and the ground within a five-meter radius trembled violently, cracking into numerous fissures.

Like springs compressed to their limit, Naruto leaped up and flew dozens of meters away under the reaction force, delivering a powerful spinning strike that slammed into a small hill five meters high.

A loud explosion!

It shattered into countless tiny fragments of rock and gravel that shot out in all directions, with the largest piece being kicked dozens of meters into the air.

"Yoshi!" Naruto clenched his fist, revealing an excited expression.

“So next is…” Naruto’s eyes flashed with a serious look as he looked at the rubble high in the sky.

"Konoha Taijutsu Secret Technique - Konoha Dragon God!"

Chapter 43 Requirements for Cultivating the Leaf Dragon God

As soon as he finished speaking, Naruto's body began to spin rapidly, instantly forming a huge tornado that sucked in the surrounding rocks and sand.

Shortly after the tornado formed, it began to subtly transform into the shape of a wind dragon.

With a loud bang, the giant dragon that had formed around Naruto collapsed, revealing Naruto's dejected face, and cracks appeared all over his clothes and skin.

"Failed again!"

Naruto clenched his fist and said somewhat unwillingly. Under Naruto's unwilling gaze, the rubble fell rapidly from the sky and crashed heavily onto the ground, creating a large crater.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Naruto, who was still in a daze, received a sharp rap on the head. Chen Baojun had appeared beside him without him noticing and was scolding him:

"Idiot, I told you before, the Leaf Dragon God is no longer a simple taijutsu, but a ninjutsu that combines the nature transformation and form transformation of wind-style chakra. It's difficult to use the Leaf Dragon God with just taijutsu skills."

Naruto scratched the back of his head, looking bewildered, and asked, "Ninjutsu?"

“Not bad, Ninja Body Technique!” Chen Baojun nodded and said in a deep voice, “Transforming the powerful winds around the tornado into blade-like wind rays that can cut the enemy is a nature change of the wind attribute, while transforming the tornado into the form of a dragon god and concentrating the destructive power of the technique is a form change that incorporates the wind attribute!”

(The Konoha Dragon God belongs to the ninjutsu category. This is my own imagination and modification, but it is based on some facts.)

It should be noted that even when Might Guy uses Night Guy, the force of his physical attacks only generates a huge shockwave that can blow people away, crush them, and prevent them from getting up or opening their eyes. However, it does not have the effect of turning the force of the wind into a blade to cut the enemy.

Lee was once cut by the gust of wind generated by Konoha's Dragon God technique, and the chakra that resembled a sharp blade was a characteristic of wind-style chakra.

"Fortunately, your physique is special. Otherwise, if you fail to use the Leaf Dragon God, you will often be severely injured by the backlash of the enormous power, or even cut into pieces!"

Chen Baojun's gaze sharpened as he looked at Naruto, whose body was tattered and disheveled, yet showed few signs of injury, and he couldn't help but be amazed.

As expected of the Uzumaki clan's physique, just as the Third Hokage said, he is indeed a good prospect for cultivating physical techniques!

Naruto pouted, not taking the seriousness of Teacher Chen's words to heart, and asked anxiously, "Then, Teacher Chen, how exactly can I learn the Leaf Village Dragon God technique?"

"Still don't understand? You idiot!" Chen Baojun stroked his beard and said irritably, "Since it's ninjutsu, then in addition to taijutsu, you also need to have a certain foundation in ninjutsu!"

“Naruto, your physical fitness and taijutsu skills are the best among all the students I have ever taught. With your level of taijutsu, you are more than capable of training the Konoha Dragon God. The reason you have been failing is because you have not yet reached the required level in the use and training of wind-style chakra.”

"Wind attribute, huh..." Naruto nodded, seemingly understanding, then, as if remembering something, asked, "Teacher Chen, have you taken on any other disciples before?"

"Yes." At this point, Chen Baojun's tone became somewhat weary and self-reproachful.

"I once had a disciple who was a complete idiot. He didn't understand genjutsu and couldn't use ninjutsu, but he still wanted to become a ninja and go to the front lines for the village."

"Although he later mastered the Leaf Dragon God using only taijutsu, he only mastered its form and not its spirit. That idiot also went to participate in the Third Shinobi World War, but because of his weakness of not knowing genjutsu and ninjutsu, he did not fully master the Leaf Dragon God. He was targeted by the enemy in the war and was cruelly killed."

Upon hearing this, Naruto, who was usually carefree, became unusually serious. He listened quietly to Teacher Chen's words, and only after he finished did he solemnly say, "Teacher Chen, I'm not very good at comforting people, but I promise you that I will definitely inherit your legacy as the Konoha Dragon God and my senior brother, carry forward this unique skill, and use it to protect the village and my comrades. I swear by the ninja way of Uzumaki Naruto!"

Chen Baojun quietly looked at Naruto, who had a solemn expression on his face. In Naruto's eyes at that moment, he saw an unprecedented determination!

That brat.

Chen Baojun suddenly laughed, but his tone still sounded impatient.

"Let's talk about that after you've mastered the Leaf Village Dragon God. It's too early to talk about that now!"

Although Chen Baojun appeared very impatient on the surface, he had actually been influenced by Naruto over the past two years, and was inspired by his positive and optimistic attitude.

Inspired by Naruto, Chen Baojun also felt that his mindset had become much younger and more optimistic.

"Hehe!" Naruto grinned sheepishly.

"Then, Teacher Chen, how should I cultivate wind-style chakra?"

Chen Baojun replied irritably, "Just like that brat from the Uchiha clan taught you, use chakra to cut leaves."

Naruto nodded as if he suddenly understood, then asked eagerly, "So what's next? What happens after you cut the leaves?"

"Next, we just need to figure out a way to integrate the wind-style chakra into the Leaf Village Dragon God."

"How to do it?"

"Idiot!" Chen Baojun raised an eyebrow, his beard bristling with anger.

"This is something that can only be understood intuitively, not explained in words, understand?"

"You'll learn it naturally when the conditions are right!"

"Ok."

Naruto nodded, remained silent for a few seconds, and then, as if suddenly realizing something, rushed forward and stood close to Chen Baojun.

"By the way, Teacher Chen, can I teach this move to Sasuke as well?"

For the past few years, Sasuke has been teaching him. The two are friends in life, but Sasuke is his teacher in training. Naruto's rapid progress in strength over the past few years is inseparable from Sasuke's careful guidance.

After Naruto mastered taijutsu under Master Chen's tutelage, he reciprocated with Master Chen's permission.

He taught Sasuke a series of Konoha Steel Fist Fluid Techniques, including Konoha Whirlwind, Konoha Gale, Konoha Rising Wind, and Konoha Power Whirlwind.

"Teach if you want, there's no need to ask me for permission," Chen Baojun said irritably, glaring at him.

"However, that brat from the Uchiha clan couldn't have learned the Leaf Village Dragon God technique if he didn't have Wind Release chakra. Do you know if he has Wind Release chakra?"

"This..." Naruto was taken aback, then muttered shyly, "I really don't know, but Sasuke definitely has lightning and fire!"

"Idiot!" Chen Baojun sighed helplessly, rubbing his forehead.

"One of the most important rules of ninjas is intelligence!"

"Others have even set up training plans specifically for you. Your progress and training schedule are all under their control, yet you don't even know how many chakra natures your opponent has. No wonder you've been losing all these years and haven't won a single game."

"hey-hey......"

Chapter 44 Sasuke vs. Kakashi (Part 1)

In Konoha, at the Third Training Ground, a fierce sparring match is underway.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Kakashi turned around, his hands forming hand seals with lightning speed, gathering chakra in his throat before unleashing a massive fireball that hurtled forward.

God knows how he managed to unleash a powerful fireball while wearing a mask.

The fireball travels at an extremely fast speed. When Kakashi uses a simple basic C-rank fire ninjutsu, it is much faster and hotter than when others use it. The chakra contained in the fireball is also more abundant and more powerful!

Even if you're not directly hit by a fireball like Kakashi's, an ordinary person will start to dehydrate after being within the fireball's range for about ten seconds, feel dizzy after half a minute, and go into dehydration shock after about a minute.

What an amazing Fireball Technique! Its power surpasses that of a typical B-rank ninjutsu.
