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

Especially someone like Naruto, a monster with an enormous amount of chakra...

However, for him, this was a very fulfilling thing.

"Naruto, improving accuracy will be extremely difficult!"

"This involves the release and maintenance of chakra, which is more difficult than all the special training you've undergone before..."

"Are you ready?"

Naruto clenched his fist and said, "Of course!"

Asuma nodded: "Okay, let's begin now..."

"tread water."

"tread water?!"

Naruto frantically scratched his head, completely bewildered.

Asuma led Naruto to the riverbank in Konoha Village, where the water flowed gently and calmly.

He nodded: "This place is perfect for cultivation."

"Watch me do it once first."

He effortlessly gathered chakra at the soles of his feet, then released it outwards, as if it were an extension of his body, transforming the chakra into a part of his form, offsetting his own weight, and then…

She lightly and deftly stepped onto the river and followed the water all the way to the other side.

Then they came back again.

Like walking on flat ground.

Naruto watched with a mixture of admiration and eagerness to try it himself.

"Amazing!"

"I'll give it a try too!"

Asuma said, "You've trained in tree climbing before, and water walking is a deeper level of training. It requires not only gathering chakra in your feet but also releasing it outwards, turning it into a source of power to support yourself..."

Naruto nodded repeatedly, then went to the riverbank and took a deep breath.

"Chakra is refined, mobilized, and gathered at the soles of the feet, and then..."

"Speak out!"

Naruto carefully released his chakra from the soles of his feet, then tentatively stepped onto the water's surface...

thump--

Unsurprisingly, Naruto fell directly into the water and struggled awkwardly.

"Ah—plop plop plop—"

Asma rushed forward and pulled him out.

"So, Naruto, it's not that simple, is it?"

Naruto, of course, was not convinced and immediately took off all his wet clothes.

"I don't think it's difficult, Asuma-sensei!"

Asma smiled and said, "Very good, it's a good thing to have this confidence."

Naruto, barefoot, gently stepped onto the water's surface once more.

then……

thump--

again……

thump!

However, Asuma frowned slightly.

"Ok?"

"Naruto seems to be getting more and more skilled each time..."

"At this rate, the cultivation of water-treading will indeed not be difficult for him..."

In fact, this is indeed the case.

In the original work, Naruto's water-walking training was not very good because Orochimaru had used the Five Elements Seal to disrupt his chakra. After Jiraiya helped him release it, he quickly mastered it.

Because Naruto possesses a vast amount of chakra, this kind of chakra projection training is indeed much simpler for him than the precise control of chakra.

really……

Only half a day had passed...

"Ha! Asuma-sensei, I did it!"

Naruto's body was swaying on the water, staggering like he was drunk, but he didn't fall down.

Asma couldn't help but applaud sincerely.

"Naruto, well done."

"I thought this was the most difficult training, but it turns out it was quite simple for you..."

Naruto was beaming with pride and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

He also felt an unprecedented ease during this training, and couldn't help but feel excited.

He even stomped his feet back and forth on the water, splashing waves and creating turbulent water.

Asma smiled and lit another cigarette.

"Very good, you mastered it in just half a day."

"Now, we can truly begin training in Wind Release: Gale Palm!"

Naruto ran straight across the water.

clap clap.

It left behind swirling ripples.

"Yes, Asuma-sensei!"

He excitedly saluted Asma.

Asuma then began to formally instruct him in the secrets of Wind Release: Gale Palm.

Naruto activated Shadow Clone Jutsu, with his main body using Wind Release: Gale Palm and the shadow clones using Shuriken Jutsu.

In an instant, a fierce wind surged, amplifying the speed and power of the shuriken technique!

But this is just the beginning.

Asuma said, "Now, while activating Wind Release: Gale Palm, release your chakra outwards and infuse it into the gale. Just like I said before, try to manipulate the wind and then use the power of the wind to manipulate the shuriken."

"In other words, you should let the wind become an extension of your body, just like your own arm..."

Naruto nodded repeatedly: "Oh! I understand!"

He couldn't wait to begin his special training.

Gradually, Naruto came to understand Asuma-sensei's words more and more.

Manipulate the wind, not the shuriken.

If it's shurikenjutsu, Naruto isn't good at it; he's far inferior to Sasuke.

But if you treat the wind as your own arm...

That's basically like stabbing the enemy directly with a shuriken!

Isn't that something anyone with hands can do?!

Of course, it's easier said than done; actually making the wind a part of your body is far from easy...

Naruto's training lasted another whole day.

Asuma asked, "How's it going, Naruto?"

Naruto was somewhat discouraged.

"I can master Wind Release: Gale Palm itself, and if I use Shadow Clone Jutsu, I can also master it by adding Shuriken Jutsu, it's just a matter of precision..."

"Now I can project my chakra, but I can't skillfully turn the wind into my arms. It's like... well, it's like my hands and feet aren't obeying my commands. I can touch the shuriken, but I can't accurately hold it and hit the enemy..."

Asuma laughed and said, "It's already quite an achievement to have done that!"

"The issue of accuracy is not something that can be resolved overnight."

"To be honest, at your age, to be able to complete tree climbing and water walking training, and to control, release, and maintain chakra to this extent, you are already a genius among geniuses!"

Naruto shook his head and said, "It's still a long way off!"

"Three days have passed..."

"I will develop the Wind Release: Gale Palm technique to its fullest potential within ten days!"

Asuma frowned: "Naruto, are you that strict with yourself?"

Naruto sighed.

It's not that I'm strict with myself, it's that the system is forcing me to be!

If we only consider Wind Release: Gale Palm, then I can say that I have mastered it now.

However, the system did not provide a completion message.

Clearly, he wanted to perfect himself and reach a level of consummate skill.

"Thank you, Asuma-sensei. I will continue to work hard."

He bowed deeply to Asma, then turned and left.

Asma watched his retreating figure, took a drag of his cigarette, and smiled with a hint of satisfaction.

……

Naruto knew that Asuma-sensei had already taught him everything he could.

All that's left is pure hard work and practice.

After returning home and having dinner, he didn't waste any time and immediately resumed his practice.

In his dreams at night, when he fought Sasuke and Neji, he simply abandoned other tactics and focused solely on honing his Wind Release: Gale Palm technique.

Although this caused his win rate to plummet and he was repeatedly beaten by the two, Naruto's mastery of the Wind Release: Gale Palm technique improved significantly.

The next morning, Naruto saw the white-eyed girl again on the street outside his window.

He was overjoyed and quickly invited Hinata upstairs.

Hinata smiled shyly: "Naruto-kun, I'm sorry I haven't been able to go out and tutor you these past few days..."

"Oh, what are you saying? It's already a huge help that you come even once in a while!"

Naruto has hit a bottleneck in his training, so it's a good time for him to take a break.

He started taking academic classes with Hinata, which was like giving him a mental refresh and calming his emotions down a lot.

But Hinata, with her keen perception, still noticed his secret.

"Naruto-kun, what problem have you encountered this time?"

Naruto had nothing to hide from Hinata.

"Um, Hinata..."

Do you know how to precisely control the release of chakra?

Hinata was taken aback; she hadn't expected Naruto to ask such a "professional" question...

But she immediately began to think about it.

"External chakra release?"
