Chapter 3: Shuriken Technique

"Hmph!"

With his hands casually tucked in his pockets, Sasuke strolls confidently toward the training ground, paying no heed to the intrigued looks from Ino and Sakura. On the opposite side of the street, Naruto briefly contemplates before deciding to join him.

As he walks, he effortlessly assimilates the power of the wind element, making the art of cultivation feel like second nature. With cultivation becoming instinctive, his strength can flourish with each passing moment, and his physical prowess will steadily ascend.

Naruto has already reached this level, but now, he needs some time to adapt.

'Is it that guy?'

Sasuke quickly notices Naruto but merely raises an eyebrow before ignoring him and continuing on his way.

Hmph, why should I pay attention to that guy?

Ino and Sakura see Naruto walking toward the training ground from the other side as they follow Sasuke's look, leaving them puzzled.

They're aware that Sasuke frequently trains, but what's the deal with Naruto heading to the training ground? Could it be for the ninja exam? It's puzzling, considering he doesn't appear to possess any ninjutsu talent. Is he cramming for the exam?

Could it be that he's just the same as always, seeking our attention by choosing to follow Sasuke?

How silly!

...

Some time later

The training ground gets a bit crowded as Sasuke's on a mission to train and get stronger for his revenge. Ino and Sakura, well, they're just big fans of Sasuke, They like how good Sasuke looks while training.

Naruto came over just to train and also wanted to understand the normal ninja training process to improve his knowledge. After all, he has been away from the ninja world for too long and has almost forgotten the ninja training methods and how to form seals.

Well... although he wasn't very good at forming seals in the first place...

Sasuke skillfully wraps his own bandages without giving others a second glance. This kind of daily training is very normal for him. Occasionally being watched by others is not surprising. As long as they don't disturb his training, Sasuke doesn't bother paying attention to those people around him.

'Hmph, after all, I am a genius!'

First is shuriken technique training. Sasuke takes out three shurikens from his ninja tool bag and looks at a target in the distance. He just looks sideways with a calm and indifferent gaze.

After a brief aim, Sasuke's wrist shakes quickly. With a forceful flick of one hand, three shurikens are thrown at three different targets.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Several consecutive breaking wind sounds ring out as three shurikens hit their targets one after another. Sakura and Ino on the side can't help but exclaim in surprise; their eyes are filled with extraordinary colors.

However, the one behind all of this, Sasuke, wears a displeased expression and mutters with crossed arms, "Tch, one still missed the bullseye. Did I let my guard down? To have an issue with something so basic... That guy is... Hmph!"

"Sasuke, this is already very impressive. Throwing three shurikens at once and hitting the target is not an easy thing!" Sakura says immediately.

"Yeah yeah, for ordinary people, throwing one shuriken might not even hit the bullseye."

Ino also follows up.

Naruto just watches all this silently. He doesn't say much but simply reaches into his ninja tool bag with one hand and takes out his only two shurikens.

Is practicing with this toy really useful?

He looks at the shuriken in his hand and squints slightly. He begins to doubt the strength of ninjas but quickly puts away this arrogance and starts self-reflection.

Perhaps this is just the most basic ninja tool. Real high-intensity battles won't use this kind of thing. The practice now is just for controlling stronger weapons in the future and improving control over distance.

My understanding of the ninja world is limited at this point, so making judgments solely based on what I observe would be unwise. I must expand my knowledge before forming fresh opinions.

Now... should I throw it?

Naruto looks at another half of the target and learns from Sasuke by looking sideways at it with one hand holding two shurikens and feeling their texture with his palm.

The texture of the shuriken feels a bit strange because his shuriken is already damaged but not severely so. He doesn't have money to buy more ninja tools; these shurikens are ones he used for who knows how long before.

"This guy is trying to act cool like Sasuke again. How could something like shuriken technique..."

Sakura looks at Naruto and shakes her head slightly while muttering disdainfully with her arms crossed.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Naruto on the other side doesn't care about Sakura and Ino's attitude. He just calmly looks at the target in his sight. His wrist shakes at just the right frequency. Two breaking wind sounds ring out, and the shurikens draw elegant arcs. What follows is the sound of shurikens hitting the bullseye.

"Is this a joke? Am I seeing things? This... this must be a coincidence."

Ino rubs her eyes, feeling as if she has seen something unbelievable.

"This.. this.."

Sakura is shocked

"Hmph!"

Sasuke just hmpph indifferently and doesn't say much, but his sense of urgency increases a lot.

This guy... Hmph!

While the shuriken technique does involve an element of luck, Sasuke doesn't treat it casually. His sole aim has always been that man. If he can't surpass his peers, don't talk about revenge. He must get much stronger!

Naruto looks at the two shurikens hitting the bullseye and a confident smile appears on his face. Shuriken technique is not difficult; as long as he can master the wind of nature and throw it on a trajectory that can hit, then he can definitely hit the bullseye.

Even if there are mistakes, he can use wind element power to correct the route and form auto-aim!

Sakura on the side sees Naruto's smile and immediately feels like this smile is mocking her, mocking what she just said. Thinking about it, Sakura's face turns slightly red, she feels uncomfortable as if someone slapped her in the face.

"Hmph, it's just a coincidence that you hit two targets. Sasuke-kun hit three targets at once; the difficulty is much higher than yours." Sakura says stubbornly.

"Well, with my current conditions, it seems that I really can't hit three targets at once. Using three shurikens at once... for me, it's simply impossible." Naruto shrugs and says with an indifferent smile.

Because he only has two shurikens, using three shurikens at once is naturally impossible. He doesn't bother to compete with children over such things.

Sakura hmpph and doesn't say anything. Obviously, she feels better after hearing Naruto's words.

Sasuke doesn't care about them and continues his training. However, the intensity of his training has increased a lot. Obviously, he feels a lot of pressure and is determined to work harder.
