Konoha: Starting with the Tenseigan, taking over Team 7

troublesome.

...

noon.

The sun was blazing, and the sky was clear for miles.

Seventh training ground.

The entire seventh class was dressed in dirty and disheveled clothes, looking extremely disheveled. They hadn't slept for long before they began to diligently cultivate.

Naruto ran along the tree trunk with his feet until his feet were almost losing their chakra stickiness. Then, he took out a kunai and immediately slashed the trunk. After landing, he touched the tip of his nose and said triumphantly, "Hehehe, Sasuke, I've climbed all the way up here!"

Uchiha Sasuke ignored Naruto, instead focusing his chakra on the soles of his feet and running quickly across the tree trunk. After taking a large step ahead of Naruto, he used a kunai to draw a line across the tree trunk.

Sasuke Uchiha landed, glanced indifferently at Naruto Uzumaki, and said coldly, "Idiot, you're still a long way off."

"Damn it!" Naruto was so angry his teeth ached. He glanced at the scratches on the tree trunk in front of Sasuke, his eyes blazing with fury. "What are you so arrogant about? Watch me surpass you in no time!"

Naruto Uzumaki started running at full speed on the surface of the tree trunk again, trying to overtake Sasuke by a large margin. Sasuke, not intending to let Naruto surpass him, also started running at full speed on the surface of the tree trunk.

The two continued to chase each other, neither intending to be overtaken.

That being said.

But even after a whole night of hard work, Naruto and Sasuke could only climb two-fifths of the tree trunk.

Sakura Haruno sat on a tree branch, smiling and greeting the two below, "Naruto, Sasuke, good luck!"

She was located three-fifths of the way down the tree trunk.

Although Naruto and Sasuke worked very hard, Sakura was far more skilled at manipulating chakra than either of them.

Naruto Uzumaki looked up at Sakura Haruno, who was sitting on a tree branch above him, and said with an expression of admiration, "Sakura-chan, you're amazing!"

"Alright, I'll work even harder!" Naruto slammed his fist into his palm, his sunny smile tinged with determination.

"How could this be? A mere ugly woman..." Uchiha Sasuke looked up at Haruno Sakura sitting on a tree branch above him, and after a moment of stunned silence, his expression gradually darkened.

Haruno Sakura is actually progressing faster than him!

Does that mean I, Uchiha Sasuke, am weaker than that ugly girl, Haruno Sakura?

Uchiha Sasuke lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and clenched his fists tightly.

What a joke!

I am a member of the Uchiha clan, and I bear the ambition to take revenge!

Chapter 23 Hyuga Sogetsu can see everything!

Sakura Haruno sat on the ground with her legs drawn up, humming a little tune and playing with a kunai. Her pretty face was full of happiness as she watched Naruto and Sasuke working hard.

She was in a great mood because it was the first time she had ever felt the satisfaction of surpassing the genius Sasuke.

As for surpassing Naruto... that's a given!

Although she can now climb up to three-fifths of the way, she experiences a feeling of powerlessness as if her chakra is disappearing as she climbs further.

This made her feel very distressed.

"I still have a lot of chakra left, so why do I feel so powerless?" Sakura Haruno looked away and stroked her chin, deep in thought.

It's more like a feeling of powerlessness, with legs getting heavier the higher you climb.

I'll ask Ms. Cangyue for advice later.

"Little..." After landing, Naruto hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Sakura Haruno before finally making up his mind and running to her.

"Um... Sakura-chan."

Sakura Haruno tilted her head, looking puzzled, and asked, "Is something wrong?"

Naruto stammered, a sheepish smile on his face, scratching his cheek. "It's... well, it's just..."

Sakura Haruno said irritably, "Just say what you have to say, I'm busy too!"

"Well... I wanted to ask you if there's any trick to it." Naruto's smile was awkward. He had been thinking of finishing his training before Sasuke and Sakura in one go, but now he actually had to ask Sakura for a trick.

Sakura Haruno said, "I don't have any tricks, but I do have some suggestions. Would you like to hear them?"

There's no secret to it; if there were, she'd want it too.

After all, it's just a short distance away from the top of the tree, where you can climb to the top in one go.

"Okay, if you want to hear, just tell me secretly, don't let Sasuke hear." Naruto glanced at Sasuke in the distance, then brought his left ear close to Sakura Haruno.

Sasuke Uchiha stood with his hands in his pockets, staring indifferently at the large tree in front of him, but in reality, he was eavesdropping on Naruto and Sakura's conversation in the distance.

"What should we do?" Sakura Haruno rested her finger on her chin, tilted her head to look at Sasuke, who was trying to eavesdrop on her advice, and called out with a smile, "Sasuke, want to listen in too?"

Uchiha Sasuke put his hands in his pockets, gave a dismissive snort, and said, "Hmph, not interested."

Sakura Haruno's smile froze.

What? They were just trying to give you advice out of kindness.

If you weren't so handsome, I would have punched you away long ago!

"Tch, what are you pretending for?" Naruto Uzumaki curled his lip in annoyance. "Sakura-chan, let's ignore that guy."

"Okay, my suggestion is..." Sakura Haruno covered her mouth with her hand and spoke very softly in Naruto's ear, glancing at Sasuke as she spoke.

"Hmm, oh, I see." Naruto Uzumaki suddenly realized.

Uchiha Sasuke kept his hands in his pockets, seemingly deep in thought, but in reality, his ears twitched slightly as he tried to eavesdrop on Sakura Haruno's advice.

Unfortunately, I didn't hear anything.

"Tch." Uchiha Sasuke clicked his tongue and continued his training on his own.

I am a genius of the Uchiha clan, and I have absolutely no need to listen to the ugly woman's advice!

"Oh—, I understand, thank you Sakura-chan!" Naruto Uzumaki smiled confidently and quickly walked to the front of the big tree, adjusting his chakra according to Sakura Haruno's suggestion.

Naruto suddenly opened his eyes and then ran quickly across the tree trunk, overtaking Sasuke by a large margin before carving a mark on the trunk with a kunai.

Naruto landed on the ground, mimicking Sasuke's tone, and said with a mocking laugh, "Sasuke, you still have a long way to go."

Sasuke Uchiha glanced at the marks Naruto Uzumaki had made on the tree trunk, and his face turned extremely grim.

This absolute idiot and bottom-of-the-class driver actually surpassed him completely!

And by a large margin!

It's probably impossible to catch up with Naruto's huge lead in the short term!

Does that mean that I, Uchiha Sasuke, am currently the slowest progressing member of Team 7?

What a joke!

Sasuke Uchiha's pride would not tolerate such a thing!

"Very good, you're all working hard." Hyuga Sogetsu said, sitting cross-legged beside a large tree, eating a bowl of ramen. "Keep it up!"

"Whoosh—whoosh, it's so hot."

The entire Class 7 was slightly taken aback. Looking at Cang Yue, who was eating ramen with gusto, a question popped into everyone's mind.

When did Teacher Cangyue appear?

We didn't even notice!

Hyuga Sogetsu could see what Team 7 was thinking. He blew on a mouthful of ramen and said while eating, "It's alright, it's alright. You guys continue your training. I just arrived a few minutes ago."

He's been sitting here watching for five minutes now, ever since Naruto asked Sakura for advice. He's been eating ramen and watching the whole time.

After a moment of stunned silence, Naruto pointed at Cangyue with furious eyes and shouted angrily, "Damn it, we're all here training hard, and you're just leisurely eating ramen!"

It smells so good, I want to eat it too!

Hinata Sogetsu asked, "Want to eat?"

"Of course I want to!" Naruto Uzumaki drooled as he stared longingly at the thick ramen soup in his bowl.

Hinata Sogetsu held up her chopsticks and said in a tempting tone, "Let's do it this way. The first person to climb to the top of the tree will get a bowl of ramen as a reward. He can eat as much as he wants, you know."

"Could I have an extra serving of char siu?" Naruto asked expectantly.

Hyuga Sogetsu said generously, "Add five more!"

If the entire Team 7 can complete their training as soon as possible, he can also quickly obtain the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. It should be quite interesting to be able to freely use lightning.

"Long live Teacher Cangyue!" Naruto jumped up and down in cheers. When he was starving, nothing was more appealing to him than ramen.

"Okay, I will definitely climb to the top of the tree and then eat ramen until I'm stuffed!" Naruto Uzumaki was in a good mood and quickly began his tree-climbing training.

It looked as if a huge bowl of ramen was beckoning to Naruto from the top of the tree.

"Oh oh oh oh—, ramen, wait for me!" Naruto Uzumaki ran at full speed on the tree trunk, his powerful shouts echoing throughout the forest.

Hyuga Sogetsu patted his stomach and let out a satisfied sigh, "Phew, so full."

Sakura Haruno glanced at Sasuke and Naruto, then ran up to Aozuki, put her hands behind her back in a well-behaved manner, and politely asked, "Aozuki-sensei, do you have any tips?"

"Every time I'm almost at the top of the tree, I feel a sense of powerlessness, as if my chakra has completely disappeared," Sakura Haruno lamented.

Hinata Sogetsu took out a lollipop, unwrapped it, and popped it into his mouth. Hesitantly sucking on the lollipop, he said, "A trick? There should be one. I've never thought about these things because I've always been a genius."

After he awakened the Tenseigan, he never considered the tricks of the trade when learning any technique, because he could learn them easily.

"Is...is that so?" Sakura Haruno gritted her teeth, clenching her fist behind her back. Sakura's narcissistic attitude made her want to punch him.

That's why I hate it, and I have to ask Ms. Cangyue a question.

Because Ms. Cangyue always takes everything for granted, believing that everything is very simple.

"Anyway, first, try to gather your chakra like you're climbing a tree and let me see." Hyuga Sogetsu stared calmly at Haruno Sakura, his Tenseigan containing all the abilities of the Byakugan.

Sakura Haruno looked puzzled, but she still followed Aozuki's instructions and formed hand seals to gather chakra in the soles of her feet.

Sakura Haruno asked in confusion, "Teacher Aozuki, can you see the flow of chakra?"

"Yeah, I can see it, including your white underwear with the cute bear pattern. Yesterday... I remember it was pink." Hinata Sogetsu sucked on her lollipop, gave a thumbs up, and exclaimed, "So girly!"

Chapter 24: The Tsundere Female Lead Sasuke?

"White?" Sakura Haruno froze for a moment, then pulled her clothes down to cover her waist, blushing and glaring at Aozuki, shouting in a sweet voice, "Where are you looking!"

She never expected that Teacher Cang Yue would have X-ray vision!

In other words, normally... Cang Yue can see whatever she wants to see?

asshole.

That filthy, lewd teacher!

I don't even have a boyfriend, yet Cang Yue has already seen me all over!

Although she's a fangirl, she's very conservative.

Hyuga Sogetsu waved his hand dismissively, "I'm a decent adult, how could I possibly like watching a little kid who hasn't even grown his first hair yet?"

He has seen countless forests, so how could he appreciate a single blade of grass?

"Mao... Mao... Mao." Sakura Haruno's face turned red, a mixture of anger and shyness. She clenched her fair fist and punched Sogetsu's frivolous face hard.

"asshole!"

Sakura Haruno had reached her limit and could no longer tolerate it.

"Don't be so angry, I don't have time to mess around with you right now." Hinata Sogetsu grabbed Haruno Sakura's wrist and then used a grappling move to pin Haruno Sakura to the ground.

"Ouch—, that hurts." Sakura Haruno let out a soft groan after being pressed to the ground, then turned her head and glared at Aozuki with embarrassment and anger, saying irritably, "Is it Aozuki-sensei who's being silly!"

Hinata Sogetsu released Haruno Sakura, clapped his hands, and said with a smile, "Let's stop the pleasant jokes and talk about serious matters."

Sakura Haruno rubbed her aching wrist and said irritably, "Who's having fun? You're the only one having fun!"

Wait!

Just you wait, the first person I'll teach a lesson to after I get stronger is Cang Yue!

"Your thoughts are all written on your face." Hinata Sogetsu stroked his chin, staring at Haruno Sakura's embarrassed and angry face, and speculated, "Let me guess, you probably want to teach me a lesson, what a noble ambition."

Looking across the entire ninja world, there are so many people who want to teach him a lesson that they could practically stretch from the Hokage Building to the village entrance, but none of them can do anything about him.

Sakura Haruno's lips twitched slightly. She was embarrassed that her thoughts had been guessed, but she still forced herself to say, "When I get stronger, I'll teach Ms. Aozuki a lesson and show her how to respect girls!"
