Debris flew everywhere!
The wooden stake shook violently!
"Is that… Naruto?!"
"When did he master such a powerful Taijutsu move?!"
As Sasuke was still in shock, Naruto's incredibly arrogant laughter reached his ears.
"Hahahahaha!"
"During our next Ninja sparring session, I'll use this move to make Sasuke beg for mercy on his knees!"
Sasuke's blood instantly rushed to his head, and his face turned red with anger.
"You bastard Naruto!"
"Do you think you can defeat me with such a petty trick?!"
"However…"
"This Taijutsu is indeed very powerful. If I were to encounter it unexpectedly, caught off guard, I might really be knocked down by him… Damn it!"
"That damn Diao Che Wei, does he want to kill me?!"
Sasuke suddenly clenched a blade of grass, squeezing it hard, instantly crushing it into a ball.
He immediately retreated quietly, his fists already clenched.
"Naruto…"
"A mere Diao Che Wei, does he think he can climb above me?"
"Hmph, I'll let you know just how big the gap between us really is!"
Sasuke gritted his teeth, and with a resentful expression, he sped towards the Uchiha compound with his ingredients.
He was clearly preparing for even more brutal and rigorous special training… Naruto didn't notice any of this.
However… "Achoo——"
"Achoo!"
"Damn it, who's talking bad about me behind my back?"
"It must be that bastard Sasuke…"
Rock Lee said, "Uchiha Sasuke?"
"I've heard his name. He's the genius Ninja of the Uchiha Clan, isn't he?"
Naruto pouted, "Ah, the Uchiha Clan, yes, but genius? Forget about it!"
Rock Lee, however, shook his head.
"No, Naruto, genius truly exists. Although I don't want to admit it, it's a fact."
"Sasuke is like that, and so is that man in our class…"
"Hyuga Neji."
"Hyuga Neji? The Hyuga Clan, just like Hinata…"
Rock Lee nodded, "He is the opponent I most want to challenge!"
"My desperate efforts in training, besides proving myself, are precisely because I have a powerful goal like Neji. One day, I will personally defeat him!"
Naruto immediately felt a sense of shared enmity.
"Exactly! I will definitely defeat that bastard Sasuke too!"
Rock Lee smiled brightly and extended his palm towards Naruto.
The two looked at each other, then their palms slapped together forcefully.
"Naruto! This is our passionate youthful promise!"
"Alright!"
"Then, let's immediately begin today's handstand walking training!"
"Eh?!"
...After another day of voluntary strenuous training.
Naruto felt like he was completely worn out.
Fortunately, at this moment, the system finally sent out its pleasant voice again.
[Host has once again completed Taijutsu training, Physical Strength has increased by +3, current Physical Strength value is 93 points!]
[Congratulations to the Host for acquiring a new ability…]
[Physical Strength Monster!]
[When the Host is immersed in Taijutsu training and combat, he can unleash powerful Physical Strength, stamina, and explosive power beyond his normal state. Correspondingly, his physical toughness, recovery ability, etc., will also be comprehensively strengthened!]
Naruto was stunned at first, then his mouth curved into an uncontrollable, wild grin, and he raised his hands, jumping high.
"This is great!"
"Although I didn't fully understand it, it seems my strength has increased by a large margin again!"
"Physical Strength Monster, does that mean I'm indeed suited for Taijutsu training?!"
"Sasuke, during our next Ninja sparring session, I'll definitely beat you to a pulp!"
...Meanwhile, at the Uchiha compound.
Sasuke, who was practicing the Great Fireball Technique under the cover of night, suddenly sneezed involuntarily.
"Achoo——"
"What's going on? Is that Diao Che Wei cursing me?"
"Hmph!"
"Fire Release! Great Fireball Technique!"
Immediately, a huge fireball of raging flames erupted from the lakeside, the fierce fire illuminating the entire lake surface crimson and lighting up the entire night sky.
Chapter 19: Sakura Haruno: Why is everyone revolving around Naruto? Has this world finally gone mad!
That night, Naruto once again finished his training in Chakra Refining Technique and Clone Technique before finally earning the right to sleep.
Before going to sleep, Naruto checked his current attributes.
Chakra Amount: 42 points
Ninjutsu:
Clone Technique (55/100)
Transformation Technique (61/100)
Substitution Technique (45/100)
Chakra Refining Technique (73/100)
Taijutsu:
Basic Taijutsu (58/100)
Shuriken Technique (41/100)
Leaf Whirlwind (60/100)
..."My Chakra amount is 42 now, an increase of… 19 points from before!"
"I remember the system saying that Ninja Academy students usually have about 10 Chakra, so I'm equivalent to 4 students now!"
"Clone Technique also increased from a pitiful 16 to 55!"
"My hard work in training for so long wasn't in vain…"
Of course, what made Naruto most proud was the Taijutsu move he had newly learned from Might Guy.
Leaf Whirlwind!
Its proficiency had already reached 60 points!
This was his first true trump card.
Besides that, he also checked his academic improvements.
Hmm, from an original average score of twenty to thirty, it had now improved to forty to fifty!
Although it was still only considered below average, for Naruto, this was already an incredible breakthrough!
Naruto was satisfied and utterly exhausted, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
In his dreams, besides his body twitching occasionally, his dreams also became increasingly complex.
Eating ramen with Iruka Sensei, defeating Sasuke in Ninja sparring, training with Rock Lee, going on a date with Sakura… However, sometimes Sakura's face would suddenly blur and transform into another face.
That was… Hinata's shy little face.
Naruto mumbled in his sleep, not understanding why there was such a change… The next day, it was time for Ninja Academy classes again.
For Naruto, it was the fifth day since he received the system.
The time seemed short, but for Naruto, it felt like an incredibly long period had passed.
Following the system's "urging," he ate breakfast, brightened his spirits, and walked to the Ninja Academy in a one-handed handstand.
After two days of brutal training over the weekend, this level of exertion no longer seemed like much to Naruto.
"Yo, Naruto, good morning!"
Naruto was startled; that voice was indeed… "Lee!"
Rock Lee was also walking on one hand, flashing a bright smile at him as he went.
"Let's race, Naruto!"
"Let's see who gets to school first!"
After saying that, he didn't wait for Naruto's agreement, laughing to himself as he sped off like a wisp of smoke.
Naruto's fighting spirit was also ignited.
"Ha, who's afraid of who?!"
He burst with power and quickly chased after Rock Lee.
For Naruto, it was wonderful to have like-minded companions… Even if they were considered freaks by passersby, who whispered and pointed at them, it no longer bothered Naruto in the slightest.
Naruto also became a blur of smoke, kicking up dust as he raced.
Rock Lee had stronger explosive power, while Naruto had greater stamina. In the end, they both burst through the school gate almost simultaneously.
"I was still a hair ahead!"
