Chapter 019: Sasuke

It was still the familiar training field and Naruto was training at full throttle.

However, Naruto wasn't the only one practicing this time, he also had a total of 21 Shadow Clones.

The main body was undergoing physical strengthening training that couldn't be replaced by Shadow Clones.

Two Shadow Clones were sparring to increase their combat experience.

They were practicing ninja throws and consistently hitting various targets.

Among the remaining clones, eight were practicing Wind Style ninjutsu that the old man had just taught him.

The other eight held blades in their hands and, following the method taught by the old man, controlled their own chakra to open them and exert the transformation of chakra nature.

And the last one was standing on the surface of a nearby stream, focusing on fishing, preparing for dinner.

Recently, due to the insane increase in training intensity, Naruto's physical exertion was also increasing.

The most obvious consequence of this was that his portion of living expenses, which far exceeded that of other orphans, was not enough for food and usually only lasted him ten days.

Obviously, it was unrealistic to find the old man to increase it. The village's funds were also very limited. His living expenses were already higher than those of other orphans.

For this reason, Naruto could only solve the funding deficit for this part of the food by himself.

And his method was very simple: rely on the mountains and forests to hunt and fish, gather wild fruits and vegetables, mushrooms and fungi in the forest to fully meet his dietary needs.

Sometimes, he could gather some medicinal materials, of which he learned to identify in the training space.

It's just that his training intensity, plus that of the clones, is very exhausting.

And fatigue is the least of Naruto's concerns.

When he can't bear it anymore, Naruto will choose to hide in the learning space that can continue to help him recover without sleep and choose some books of his interest to read.

Although this kind of life may seem difficult to outsiders, Naruto enjoys it.

For three months, Naruto really felt himself getting stronger every day.

After practicing the training policy of "train until you can't die".

He is progressing at a speed beyond his own imagination, both physically and mentally.

The most obvious is that the number of Shadow Clones he can separate is exponentially increasing.

In addition to the Shadow Clone, who practiced various drills in the training field, Naruto also left two in the learning space to study various subjects in order to enrich his knowledge.

If it weren't for being crazy about receiving too much information, Naruto would like to split himself into a few more.

Although Kurama had previously suggested that Naruto specialize in learning the power it offered him, whenever he completes it, he can become a powerful ninja.

But only incompetent people can take one option, and those who are capable have all the options available to them!

Therefore, the path Naruto must follow is ninjutsu, taijutsu, and the power of Kurama. All three must be understood, and all three must be difficult, and finally become an all-powerful ninja without flaws.

He was immersed in practice and time passed quickly.

Soon it was nightfall.

Naruto deactivated all the Shadow Clones and a large amount of information flooded his mind, making him dizzy for a long time before digesting all the clone's information.

Progress in Chakra Nature Transformation has also greatly improved, he can barely cut leaves, and the real combat application experience of physical skills has also improved.

"Another satisfying day."

Naruto sighed and sat by the fire next to him, picking up the food prepared by his clone and preparing to eat it to replenish his energy.

Then, Naruto, who had just finished eating a grilled fish, inadvertently saw a hedgehog-headed child about the same age as him, with a somber face and dressed in a gray coat and white shorts walking from a short distance away.

As if feeling Naruto's gaze, the hedgehog-eyed child approached.

Naruto stared at him, an uncomfortable feeling in his heart that he couldn't help but feel.

And this kind of discomfort is also mixed with some complex emotions of familiarity and closeness that he doesn't know where it comes from.

"Humph."

Coincidentally, Naruto and the boy snorted at the same time.

Sasuke didn't know why, but looking at this yellow-haired boy in a black shirt, his calm and indifferent expression was extremely annoying.

Obviously, he doesn't like contact with strangers, so he involuntarily approached him and said with a cold face, "Hey, who are you? Why are you staying near my clan?"

"I am Uzumaki Naruto, this is a public area of Konoha, and I have been practicing here for a year and three months!"

In the face of the boy's hostile tone, Naruto remained calm and not angry.

Keeping the principle of being kind to others, he answered the other party's question to satisfy their curiosity.

After answering, Naruto was ready to be looked at coldly by the boy his age, and also ready to knock him down if necessary.

He will be kind to others, but if they don't appreciate his kindness, he has no choice but to fight.

However, the cold eyes Naruto expected did not come.

The other party looked around with curiosity and saw many traces of throwing practice and ninjutsu. It was not an effect that a person his age could create.

But it's not entirely impossible. After all, Sasuke's brother is a genius.

What made Sasuke feel more comfortable was that Naruto didn't treat him like other people in Konoha Village.

After learning that he was a member of the Uchiha clan, they seemed disgusted.

This is due to the arrogant reputation of the Uchiha clan towards the villagers.

Sasuke is smart.

After seeing Naruto, he quickly related him to the boy everyone avoided, and even openly cursed.

Involuntarily, Sasuke developed a certain empathy.

Putting aside the aggressiveness, Sasuke showed Naruto the emblem of the clan behind him and said with a little pride, "There is only one Uchiha clan in the entire Ninja World and in Konoha!"

"My name is Sasuke, Uchiha Sasuke, yorosku....."
