"Naruto, I don't remember the past very clearly, but if you keep asking, we won't have time for training."
"I was wrong, Boss! Please teach me!" Naruto Uzumaki admitted defeat decisively.
Although the story of Boss and Brother Sasuke suffering a setback must be very interesting, the urgent task was to solve his own problem.
"Hmph!"
Having handled Naruto, Musashi began to think about the other's training issues.
Wanting to surpass Sasuke Uchiha, given Naruto's talent, was indeed somewhat difficult.
The Uchiha's talent was famous in the ninja world.
Sasuke Uchiha's talent was outstanding even among the Uchiha.
Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Genjutsu—there were no weak points for the Uchiha.
All were very strong.
Take Genjutsu first; the ninja academy hadn't taught much of it yet, and even if they did, with Naruto's talent, he would never surpass Sasuke in this lifetime.
Ninjutsu was also a no-go.
When Naruto graduated later, he could barely manage the Three Basic Jutsu, while Sasuke could already spit huge fireballs.
Even if Musashi trained him, it would be hard to surpass Sasuke in a short time.
He would still need to wait for the Nine-Tails to secretly provide Naruto with chakra to improve.
As for Taijutsu, the Uchiha clan's Taijutsu wasn't weak either.
Damn! Genetic talent like this is really enviable, Musashi thought to himself.
However, regarding Taijutsu, there was still a sliver of hope.
The Uchiha's Taijutsu was indeed strong, but Sasuke's age was still young after all.
Naruto's Uzumaki constitution wasn't weak either.
At this stage, if trained properly, it wasn't impossible to surpass the other.
Neither of their "cheats" had been activated yet.
The gap could be shortened through effort.
Clarifying his thoughts, Musashi had Naruto sit properly and said,
"Naruto, wanting to surpass Sasuke is quite difficult. I think you can put some effort into Taijutsu."
"Taijutsu, training like you, Boss?" Naruto asked.
"No." Musashi shook his head, "My training method isn't necessarily suitable for you. Besides, step-by-step training is a bit slow."
"Do you remember the chakra control technique I taught you before?"
"I remember." Naruto nodded, "Boss, do you want me to explode chakra during combat to increase speed?"
"No." Musashi denied, "Your chakra explosion increases the magnitude too little. In a long-distance run, the gap can be seen, but in close combat, this bit of speed won't make up for the gap between you and Sasuke."
"The opponent is an Uchiha clan member. With long-term professional training, his Taijutsu level far exceeds yours."
"Plus, he has been guided by Uchiha experts since childhood."
"The gap with you is comprehensive."
"Small improvements won't have much effect."
Naruto wiped his sweat and said, "Boss, aren't you being too direct?"
"Naruto, what's the use of being euphemistic? You have to face the gap."
"If you want to catch up to Sasuke, you need to improve two points as soon as possible."
"First, strengthen your attack methods. Any of your current attacks are just tickles to Sasuke."
"You must have stronger means to have the possibility of defeating him."
"Second, get familiar with higher-intensity combat."
"The sparring and teaching level at your ninja academy is too low."
"With that training intensity, don't think about surpassing Sasuke."
"So, you need a Taijutsu expert to spar with you at a higher intensity and accumulate combat experience."
"Otherwise, using the moves you use to fight little kids against Sasuke, you won't last past the first round."
Naruto: "But Boss, you are always on missions. Where can I find an expert to spar with me?"
Musashi smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I can solve the sparring partner problem for you."
"Really? Who?" Naruto looked expectant.
"My former teammate, Izumi."
"She is also an Uchiha clan member, my former teammate. Her skills are formidable; guiding you is more than enough."
"She is currently working and studying in the Medical Corps, so she has time in the evenings. I'll ask her to come guide you then, how about it?"
"You can also get familiar with the Uchiha fighting style, which is perfect for you."
"Boss, you're awesome!" Naruto was very satisfied.
"But Boss, now that I have a powerful sparring partner, how should I strengthen my attack methods?"
"Didn't I just say? Still chakra control." Musashi said.
"The chakra explosion at the beginning was just the most superficial application."
"As energy extracted from the human body, chakra's functions are very extensive and magical, and its application methods are countless."
"What I want to teach you today is the enhancement of Taijutsu by chakra."
As Musashi spoke, he picked up a piece of paper, crumpled it into a small ball, and flicked it forcefully at the ramen cup on the table.
The paper ball flashed by, hitting the ramen cup with a muffled sound, then bounced off.
He crumpled another paper ball of the same size and held it at his fingertips.
Chakra covered his hand.
To let Naruto feel it more clearly, the condensed chakra's outline could even be seen.
"Besides releasing ninjutsu and creating various force fields like push, pull, and stick,"
"Chakra also has the most basic enhancement effect on the body."
"Look, I'll use the same force as before, but with chakra attached internally and externally on my fingers."
Saying this, he exerted force with his fingertips and flicked the paper ball.
A piercing sound of breaking air rang out.
Almost simultaneously, with a "Bang!",
A coin-sized hole appeared on the ramen cup, piercing right through.
The ramen inside was smashed to powder.
"See, after enhancement by chakra, the body's strength and speed will receive a significant boost."
"The more you enhance, the greater the power increase."
"This method is a basic technique for ninjas in combat, and as a ninja's ability improves, the power of this technique will also increase."
"The legendary Lady Tsunade of Konoha took the technique of enhancing the body with chakra to the extreme, combined with some other profound techniques,"
"Forming a jutsu that shakes the ninja world."
"Boss." Naruto spoke weakly.
"Don't worry." Musashi smiled, "You don't need to think that far ahead now. As long as you can simply increase speed and strength, you can achieve gratifying results in battling Sasuke."
"Boss." Naruto looked helpless, "What you just smashed was my breakfast for tomorrow."
Musashi: "..."
Musashi: "Little kid, all you know is eating ramen all day!"
"Eat less of that stuff in the future! Eat more nutritious food, hear me?"
"Eat steak with me tomorrow morning! It's happily decided."
