Naruto, what kind of Hokage would you be if you didn't roll around!

Page 82

A chakra reserve far exceeding that of ordinary people, terrifying explosive power, superb taijutsu, and even high-level ninjutsu like the Shadow Clone Technique...

The boy in front of me is simply unbelievable!

Naruto, panting heavily, retracted his shadow clone and proudly boasted loudly.

"How was it, Asuma-sensei?!"

Although Asuma was shocked, he still waved his hand.

"I'm not a teacher."

"Besides, I haven't agreed to teach you ninjutsu yet."

Naruto panicked: "Me? Am I not good enough?!"

Asma exhaled a smoke ring and smiled slightly.

"That's not true. With your current strength, you are more than qualified to be called a genius."

"However, how much do you know about Wind Release ninjutsu?"

Naruto quickly replied, "The Wind Release ninjutsu I'm practicing is called Wind Release: Gale Palm!"

He immediately began the demonstration.

"Wu! Chen! Join your palms together!"

"Wind Release! Gale Palm!"

Naruto immediately mobilized his chakra, formed hand seals, and unleashed the power of Wind Release: Gale Palm.

However, nothing happened.

Asma saw the problem with him.

"Your hand seals are fine, and your chakra itself is fine too."

"The problem lies in the fundamental training of chakra control, sustain, and external projection..."

"These are special training exercises that are only done during the genin stage. Since you haven't experienced these yet, it will be extremely difficult for you to force yourself to use ninjutsu!"

Naruto retorted, "Sasuke didn't experience that either, so why can he unleash a Fire Release ninjutsu?!"

Asma's heart stirred.

"Uchiha Sasuke?"

"That last surviving member of the Uchiha clan..."

"I've heard of that name. He's also a ninja who bears the title of genius, just like Kakashi back in the day..."

He patiently explained, "Indeed, it is possible to release various elemental ninjutsu without going through those training sessions, but that means it is more difficult and will waste more chakra."

"Uchiha Sasuke is a genius. Even without special training, he still managed to unleash a Fire Release ninjutsu."

"But you clearly aren't in that area."

Naruto quickly put his hands together and bowed his head, saying, "Please, Asuma-sensei!"

"Please help me cultivate!"

Asuma smiled. In fact, he had already been helping Naruto, but the silly boy hadn't realized it yet.

"It's not impossible for me to teach you if you want."

"However, first you have to complete one of my challenges."

"Great! I can handle any challenge!"

"What?!"

Asma smiled slightly: "Climbing a tree."

Naruto froze on the spot: "Climb, climb a tree?!"

Chapter 79: Completed tree-climbing training in one day?! Is he really a genius?!

Naruto, puzzled, scratched his head.

Asma laughed and said, "It's like climbing a tree, but you can't use your hands, you can only run up on your feet."

"what?!"

Naruto looked at a tall, straight tree in the yard and shook his head repeatedly, imagining himself using only his feet and not his hands.

"How are we supposed to climb that? It's impossible..."

Asma didn't waste any words. With his left hand in his pocket and his right hand still holding his cigarette, he casually climbed up the tree trunk with both feet.

Reaching the top, he nimbly flipped over and easily stood on the branch, took a deep drag of his cigarette, and exhaled a large smoke ring.

Naruto was dumbfounded.

"Okay, so awesome..."

Asuma chuckled: "This is nothing special, just basic training for a ninja."

"Naruto, to do this, you need to precisely control your chakra at your feet, and then use the power of the chakra to exert force, making your body feel as if it's glued to the tree trunk..."

He explained all the tree-climbing techniques to Naruto.

"It sounds simple, but it's not easy to do in practice."

"If you can climb to the top of the tree on your own within three days, I will agree to help you train in Wind Release ninjutsu."

Naruto's eyes blazed with fighting spirit.

"it is good!"

He immediately shouted, refined his chakra, mobilized it, and gathered it all at his feet before leaping up towards the tree trunk!

Then...

thump--

He landed squarely on his back!

"it hurts--"

Naruto grimaced, trying to rub his back, but he couldn't reach it.

Asma smiled slightly.

"It's not that simple."

"You should go home and practice first. If you can succeed within three days, then come back to me."

Naruto nodded resolutely and said, "I will definitely climb to the top!"

I'll be back in three days!

After saying that, Naruto strode away.

Asma shook his head and smiled as he watched his retreating figure.

at this time.

A figure pushed open the door and stepped out of the house, seemingly having been observing the scene and witnessing the entire process.

"Asuma, Naruto doesn't realize you've already been guiding him..."

"why?"

The speaker was none other than Asuma's father, the Third Hokage of Konoha...

Sarutobi Hiruzen.

But Asuma was not in a good mood.

"why?"

"I just wanted to teach on a whim."

“Father, I am different from you. I always consider the purpose of everything I do clearly.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.

"You still won't forgive me?"

"Everything I do is to protect the village. As the Hokage, I have to consider all aspects. This is unavoidable, but also a necessary measure."

Asuma said calmly, "There's no question of forgiveness or not. It's not that I can't understand your position; it's just that everyone has their own choices."

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked, "Then why did you go back to the village?"

"I don't know, maybe it was just a whim again..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a puff of his pipe, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Whatever the reason..."

"Welcome back, Asma."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Asma watched his father's retreating figure, a mix of emotions welling up inside him.

What is it that I truly want...?

This is the ultimate question that everyone must face.

However, at least for now, he has no answer...

"Uzumaki Naruto..."

Asuma's mind flashed back to Naruto's resolute face.

"interesting……"

He smiled and looked up at the tall tree.

……

Naruto returned home, but instead of going upstairs, he looked at the big tree across the street.

The Anbu once used this tree to monitor Naruto.

Iruka-sensei also observed Naruto from this tree.

Now, Naruto has his eye on it too.

"Okay, let's use this tree to practice!"

He knew very well that if he wanted to achieve the system's goal of mastering the Wind Release: Gale Palm within ten days, his own strength alone would be absolutely insufficient.

He really needs Sarutobi Asuma's help.

But if you want him to approve of you and accept you, you have to complete the tree-climbing test within three days!

This is a task that must be completed!

There is no way out!

Naruto gritted his teeth and, without wasting any time, immediately began his training.

“Refine the chakra, control the chakra, concentrate all the chakra in the soles of your feet, and then…”

"Up!"

He suddenly leaped up, and then...

It crashed to the ground again with a thud.

"It still won't work!"

"Come again!"

boom--
