Chapter 28: Another Day of Training

After this day, the content of Naruto's practice has undergone some subtle changes.

Except for the main body which is still undergoing high-intensity physical training, all the clones have been put to work as gardeners.

As a result, the wild plants in this forest marked the beginning of their first manual intervention.

Many disorderly branches were cut from the trees without the use of tools.

Everything is done by Naruto's Shadow Clone using Nature Transformation.

At first, Naruto's wind attribute chakra production was insufficient, and in many cases, it was impossible to cut the tree branches all at once.

With time, Naruto has been able to cut them all at once.

After this step, Naruto began to perform fine control, striving to be able to judge the required chakra to cut at a glance, without wasting even a bit.

In a life or death battle with a powerful enemy, perhaps this saved bit of chakra could become the drop that finally tips the balance towards victory.

This is the meaning of precisely controlling every minute and every bit of chakra.

Such high-intensity practice is very exhausting, and every time a Shadow Clone is released, it's a disaster for Naruto, forcing him to enter the learning space and rest to digest the memories returned.

But there is no doubt that the results he received are also very rewarding, and his chakra control ability is improving at an extremely alarming rate.

After a year, Naruto completely repaired the large forest he used as his training ground.

It was also during this period of time that Naruto was absorbed from the beginning and could only control the slightest airflow between his fingers. Now, as his mind moves, he can blow sand and rocks around his body.

According to the qualification standards, there must be a level of wind energy.

If this progress continues, it won't take him much longer to fully harness the wind.

It was also at this time that Naruto's training entered the second stage.

Naruto sent a team of fifty Shadow Clones to a waterfall not far from his training ground to cut the waterfall and disrupt the flow of high-level Chakra Nature Transformation practice.

And the other team of fifty people began carving operations.

The branches Naruto cut were not wasted and all became practice materials for Naruto at this time.

Segments of branches were cut, and then Naruto began using these materials.

At this point, of course, the goal of the training is oneself.

Naruto's purpose is to use his precisely controlled wind attribute as a carving knife to carve his own reduced statue, which is a difficult technical task.

For this reason, Naruto has also studied knowledge related to carving in the learning space.

And the result of this initial practice naturally ended in failure, creating piles of garbage that he couldn't bear to look at directly.

And this garbage is not wasted either, it has become practice material for Sasuke who practiced with Naruto. After a year of practice, Sasuke's strength has also improved a lot and he has already moved on from abusing leaves to abusing trees.

Then, at the end of each day's training, Naruto obtained a lot of good quality charcoal.

He uses some of them for cooking and others are sold as commodities.

Although Naruto's face would be rejected for selling things, and even if someone accepts it, they are likely to deceive him in price, but fortunately, Sasuke's existence avoids this problem.

From time to time, both of them have extra money to eat high cuisine.

For this kind of life, Naruto feels fulfilled.

Sasuke, who refuses to admit defeat, never thought of giving up. His goal is to surpass Naruto from beginning to end.

...

During training, time flies quickly.

Before you know it, it's almost getting dark again.

"Naruto-kun, Sasuke-kun, good evening." A soft voice sounded.

Then, Naruto saw the Byakugan girl dressed in a white dress and carrying a lunchbox coming out of the forest with a gentle smile on her face.

"Hinata, good evening." Naruto greeted her with a smile.

In over a year, the girl's hair has grown a lot, reaching the level of a shawl, making her look more gentle and beautiful.

Besides the changes in appearance, the girl is also very hardworking in practice.

Since she found out that both Naruto and Sasuke used Shadow Clone to go to class, she deliberately asked her father to teach her the jutsu.

When she let the clone go to class, she practiced under her father's strict guidance.

She always remembered that winter day.

Naruto-kun, who appeared in front of her like a hero and rescued her from the three bad boys, was waiting for her.

He hopes that she can become a strong woman.

So, after that, she has been working hard to become the strong person he expected.

After meeting Naruto-kun at the Ninja Academy, she can also appreciate the charm of such a confident person.

This is where Hinata can keep moving forward.

"Good evening."

As Hinata approached, Sasuke greeted reluctantly.

Although they have often seen each other since they met at the Ninja Academy for over a year, he still doesn't have good feelings towards Hinata, after all, their clans are rivals.

That, plus the fact that the girl had awakened the characteristic ocular technique of her clan.

While he was nowhere near awakening the Sharingan.

"I brought rice balls with fish, and ramen, let's eat together." Hinata didn't mind Sasuke's slightly cold attitude, she smiled softly, opened the bento box she had brought and placed it on the stone table.

Seeing this, Naruto and Sasuke were not polite, they picked up the food and started eating.

For over a year, Hinata would come to this training field to visit Naruto after a day of studying and training.

Most of the time they would chat and occasionally she would bring some food like this time.

As they are already familiar with each other, there is no need to be polite and instead, it becomes very interesting.

Hinata would go home for dinner with her family later, so she watched the two of them eat peacefully.

"Naruto-kun, do you remember my sister Hanabi? She has grown a lot now, she's small and cute." Seeing Naruto finish eating, Hinata smiled and gestured.

"Of course, Hanabi is two years old, right?" Naruto casually took up the topic and chatted with Hinata.

Sasuke, on the other hand, felt a little redundant.

After quickly finishing his meal and giving a cold snort, he stepped aside to continue training.

"You're just wasting time with girls, I'll take this opportunity to gradually surpass you, Naruto!"

Thinking this, Sasuke's movements to make charcoal became more vigorous!
