Chapter 186 Naruto Uzumaki: Seriously? Poorer than me? Kakashi's Special Training Methods
Sasuke opened ten jars and gained considerable benefits from each one.
If they can still perform forty more before the third official match of the Chunin Exams, their strength will definitely improve significantly.
You're not in a good mood?
"Forty jars represent four million taels of silver."
Uchiha Sasuke paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, "This is not a small amount of money."
Even for his Uchiha clan, the remaining wealth from their family doesn't amount to much anymore.
The one million taels he had just opened was the most money he could offer.
"That can't be right."
Upon hearing Sasuke Uchiha's words, Naruto Uzumaki's expression turned strange: "Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse, how can you be this poor?"
As a ninja with a bloodline limit, even if he has fallen on hard times, he should still have a lot of money.
Upon hearing Naruto's words, Sasuke clenched his fist slightly.
Although my home is large, I don't have much money.
Even some ninjutsu scrolls are pitifully few.
Seeing Sasuke Uchiha remain silent, Naruto Uzumaki scratched his head and said, "This is the first time I've heard this."
Naruto Uzumaki didn't know what to say.
Especially considering Sasuke's current expression wasn't very good, he awkwardly scratched his head, at a loss for what to do.
"Never mind, we'll see when the time comes."
Sasuke Uchiha shook his head and said, "Anyway, there's still a week left. I need to go see Kakashi-sensei now. I have an appointment with him this afternoon. Do you want to come along?"
"Kakashi-sensei said he'll be giving you special training for the next month."
Hearing Sasuke's words, Naruto puffed out his cheeks: "But you got me a perverted guy, that's so unfair."
"No, let's go together."
As he spoke, Naruto narrowed his eyes: "Let's see if I can train with you under Kakashi-sensei."
As for Ebisu's words, Naruto had already completely forgotten about them.
"Let's go then."
Upon hearing Naruto's words, Sasuke nodded.
He then took Naruto to the place he had agreed upon with Kakashi.
This is the edge of Konoha Village, somewhat isolated from the rest of the village.
It gives people a feeling of being abandoned.
There are many buildings around, but there is no sign of human life; it seems that no one has lived here for a long time.
As Naruto walked along, he looked around suspiciously: "Where is this? This is way too far from the village."
Does Konoha Village still have such a place?
"The Uchiha clan's territory."
Sasuke Uchiha spoke without changing his expression, causing Naruto Uzumaki to gasp in shock: "Is this where you live? This is so desolate."
Subconsciously glancing around, Naruto scratched his head: "Your life seems even harder than mine."
Although my house is a mess, it's located near the streets of Konoha Village.
Although it's also quite remote, it's definitely not as remote as Sasuke's place.
"Could it be that you, like me, sometimes go to the river to catch fish when you're hungry?"
Subconsciously, Naruto Uzumaki looked at a river not far away, raising his eyebrows.
Uchiha Sasuke: "."
Sasuke Uchiha didn't say anything, and simply continued walking with Naruto Uzumaki.
Soon they arrived at an empty courtyard.
Here, Kakashi is leisurely reading a book.
Upon noticing Sasuke's arrival, Kakashi immediately closed his book and looked up.
But as soon as he looked up, Kakashi's eyelids twitched: "Naruto, what brings you here?"
Not long after they parted ways, they met again.
"Look at how you're giving Sasuke this special training."
Hearing Kakashi's words, Naruto Uzumaki said confidently, "Besides, I've already taken Sasuke to open the jars. Sasuke got some good stuff, and he even exchanged the Eight Gates training manual with me."
"And today, when I opened the jar, I also learned the Four Symbols Sealing Technique, which can seal the cursed seal on Sasuke's neck. I can watch over Sasuke just like you, Kakashi-sensei."
On the way here, Naruto Uzumaki wondered why Kakashi-sensei had given Sasuke Uchiha special training alone.
It must be related to the cursed mark on Sasuke's neck.
Naruto Uzumaki felt that he could also go with Sasuke.
Kakashi: "."
Upon hearing Naruto's words, Kakashi glanced at Naruto with a surprised look.
Naruto, did you unleash the Four Symbols Sealing Technique?
Even he didn't know this sealing technique.
All he knows is a technique for sealing evil.
"The Eight Gates Formation?"
Kakashi gently shook his head and said, "Naruto, your Eight Gates technique can indeed enhance your strength, but not everyone can master it as easily as you. For most ninjas, the Eight Gates is a very burdensome ninjutsu."
"You can learn the first and second techniques within a month, and your body can adapt, but Sasuke's body can't adapt, after all, Sasuke has never undergone specialized taijutsu training."
"You saw it during the Chunin Exams, too. Rock Lee, Guy's student, couldn't handle the Eight Gates for even a short time."
"This is only because he has trained with Guy for many years, putting in countless hours of sweat. Do you think Sasuke's body can handle it even if he learns it?"
"Even the first gate of the Eight Gates requires a certain level of physical fitness to open."
"That's why, after I learned that you knew the Eight Gates, I didn't ask you to teach this ninjutsu to Sasuke."
"Is that so!?"
Naruto's eyes widened upon hearing Kakashi's words.
If Kakashi hadn't told him, he really wouldn't have known about this.
But in an instant, thinking about the complexity of his own body, Naruto Uzumaki fell silent.
Indeed, one's own body is different from that of ordinary people.
Sasuke's taijutsu is inferior to even Rock Lee's; even if he had learned the Eight Gates, he wouldn't be able to use it.
Sasuke frowned.
So, does that mean he won't be able to learn the Eight Gates Formation this month?
Does this mean that our strength won't increase much?
One less indirect channel has been eliminated.
"But Sasuke opened the jar, can you tell me what he got?"
The next second, Kakashi nodded slightly and said, "I need to summarize a special training plan for you based on what you have gained so far."
"As for Naruto, your foundation is different from Sasuke's. Your chakra usage is too poor. You should focus on learning the basics from Ebisu-sensei."
"Even if you were excellent at treading water and climbing trees back in the Land of Waves, that was achieved with a huge amount of chakra. You've wasted too much chakra, which isn't a good thing."
At this point, Kakashi paused, looking intently at Naruto Uzumaki, and continued, "While it's necessary for a ninja to have help, if you learn more detailed chakra usage, you'll have extra chakra to perform other ninjutsu."
"Ugh."
Upon hearing Kakashi's words, Naruto's face immediately contorted in a frown.
Indeed.
Although he has the Nine-Tails inside him, he has more chakra than others.
However, as a genin, he didn't have much chakra.
If one doesn't learn how to use chakra skillfully, it will indeed affect one's strength.
It's strange, though, because lately I haven't felt that my chakra is difficult to control.
Twenty days ago, my chakra was out of control and sometimes it would run wild.
But now, the chakra within his body seems to have completely stabilized.
"My Sharingan has reached the three-tomoe stage."
While Naruto was thinking this, Sasuke Uchiha had already spoken directly to Kakashi.
As he spoke, the Sharingan with its three tomoe appeared.
"Three tomoe."
Seeing the Sharingan hooks appearing in Sasuke Uchiha's eyes, Kakashi frowned and rubbed his temples: "How could this be? This is quite a burden on your body. Your body is already lacking in chakra, and you already feel tired after releasing a C-rank ninjutsu."
"With the Sharingan activated, even if you see the enemy's attack, your body can't keep up with the speed of your dodge."
"Could it be that you're going to practice physical skills for the next month?"
"But even after a month, you won't get much training in physical skills."
For Sasuke, what he currently lacks is an effective and direct means of attack to determine the outcome of the battle.
Instead of the three-tomoe Sharingan.
The three-tomoe Sharingan is powerful, but it also consumes a great deal of chakra.
Currently, Sasuke's awakening only brings disadvantages and no advantages.
"There are also manuals for practicing physical skills."
Seeing Kakashi's headache, Sasuke Uchiha handed him the Shadow Dance Leaf Training Manual he had obtained without saying a word.
"this."
Kakashi looked surprised as he saw the Shadow Dance Leaf training manual that Sasuke handed him.
This isn't something that Kai's student would know.
"This requires a lot of physical strength; only when the body is strong enough can one cultivate."
"How about this?"
After thinking for a moment, Kakashi said, "Come with me and see if we can use Guy's things. If we can, your taijutsu will definitely be effectively improved over the course of a month."
"Go to Might Guy's Jonin place?"
Sasuke Uchiha was taken aback when he heard Kakashi's words.
Why would you go there for no reason?
Should I learn physical martial arts?
That Jonin is indeed very skilled in taijutsu, but would he teach me?
After all, two of his students advanced to the third round of the Chunin Exams.
I will definitely continue to provide guidance during this month.
"good."
Kakashi nodded: "I meant if it could be used."
"What is that?"
Hearing Kakashi's words, Naruto Uzumaki leaned closer with a curious look: "Could it be that besides opening the can at the shop, there's some other quick way to learn taijutsu? That can't be right."
"I saw that Rock Lee's hands and legs were wrapped in bandages."
"Guy has a Saiyan training machine; even a Jonin could gain a lot from using it."
As Kakashi walked, he said, "Not to mention you genin."
As he spoke, Kakashi sighed inwardly.
What Sasuke revealed completely disrupted his training plan.
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Naruto Uzumaki's eyes widened: "Is this why those guys are so strong? They even have this kind of cheating technique."
A machine that even benefits Jonin (high-ranking ninja) – just think about how extraordinary it must be.
"You think you're the only one who got something good from opening that can?"
Kakashi shook his head and said, "While many of the items in the jar are quite good, the best ones are those that can be used by multiple people, for a small team."
"Did Kakashi-sensei find anything good when he opened the jar?"
Hearing Kakashi's words, Naruto Uzumaki asked curiously, "I still don't know what good stuff you got, Kakashi-sensei. Can you tell us?"
Upon hearing Naruto's words, Sasuke immediately turned to look at Kakashi.
Is this person also going over there to open a jar?
"There's nothing much, what a pity."
Hearing Naruto's words, Kakashi rubbed his temples and said, "There's nothing to say."
"Is that so?"
Naruto Uzumaki looked suspicious.
He became even more curious because the other person was still unwilling to talk about it.
Soon, the two followed Kakashi to Might Guy's house.
Here, you can see Hyuga Neji lying on the ground without any decorum, panting heavily.
The sweat dripping from his forehead and his clothes soaked through proved that Hyuga Neji's physical training had been very strenuous.
Hyuga Neji, who was lying down, noticed the person who had arrived, turned his head to look at them, and then looked away.
Kakashi-sensei is Kai-sensei's rival.
He also brought two familiar students with him.
Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha were initially drawn to the Saiyan training session next to Neji Hyuga.
What is this thing?
"Yo, Kakashi."
The next second, Might Guy walked out of the room and looked at Kakashi with surprise: "Why are you here? I was just about to go to the hospital to see Lee."
"Kai".
Seeing Kai emerge, Kakashi nodded: "I came here this time because of this child."
As he spoke, Kakashi patted Sasuke Uchiha on the shoulder and went over to exchange a few words with Might Guy.
"Hmm, I have no problem with that, but can I keep up with Neji's gravity?"
After hearing Kakashi's words, Might Guy was taken aback for a moment, then readily nodded: "It's just borrowing the training machine."
"The current problem is Neji's level of gravity."
"Xiao Li needs to rest well this month. Tenten doesn't need this, only Neji will use it."
"So the gravity here has been fixed to Neji."
"There shouldn't be any problem."
Kakashi nodded and said, "It's a good opportunity for the three kids to train together."
As he spoke, Kakashi beckoned to Naruto and Sasuke, "Sasuke, Naruto, come on in."
"Is this the training machine you mentioned, Kakashi-sensei?"
Naruto followed with great suspicion, examining the strange appearance and scratching his head: "Did it also come out of a jar? That's too weird."
Uchiha Sasuke had already gone inside and was looking around at his surroundings.
The design of this place was unlike any ninja training ground he had ever seen before.
The smooth metal walls and enclosed space seemed to exude an inexplicable sense of oppression.
"Kakashi-sensei, can this machine really help us improve our strength?"
Looking at the spacious interior, Naruto was increasingly puzzled and suspicious: "This thing can really help Sasuke improve his taijutsu?"
There aren't many physical training facilities either.
"certainly."
Upon hearing Naruto's words, Kakashi flashed his signature lazy smile and casually said, "This is your challenge for today. Get ready."
"Ready?"
"What preparations?"
The two were confused by Kakashi's words.
Kakashi didn't say anything more, but decisively pressed the start button.
"Buzz!"
As the button was pressed, the lights inside the machine instantly brightened, and an unseen force quickly enveloped the entire space.
The next second, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha simultaneously felt their feet sink, as if their bodies were instantly crushed by an invisible mountain.
The intense gravity seemed to engulf their entire bodies in an instant.
Naruto, who had been standing there curiously, was almost instantly pinned to the ground, panting heavily in pain.
"W-What the hell?!"
Naruto's eyes widened, his face almost pressed against the floor, as he struggled to lift his head to look at Kakashi: "This is gravity?!"
Sasuke wasn't much better off, despite trying to maintain his balance.
But under the pressure of gravity, his knees couldn't help but bend, and he finally knelt down.
Sasuke gritted his teeth and tried desperately to stand up, but found that the gravity was like an endless force that he could not resist at all.
"So weak."
Outside the gravity machine, Hyuga Neji, who had been watching this scene, frowned slightly.
He collapsed under this level of pressure.
Those two guys are in terrible physical condition.
"This is the power of the gravity training machine."
At this moment, Kakashi stood casually to the side with his hands in his pockets, speaking in a nonchalant tone: "The gravity here is several times stronger than normal. If you're not used to it, it'll be difficult to even stand still. Your task today is to adapt to the pressure this machine brings as quickly as possible."
"Adapt?! That's outrageous!"
Naruto shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice filled with resentment and surprise.
Struggling to stand up, it was once again pressed down by the powerful gravity and lay on the ground, unable to move.
For a moment, Naruto Uzumaki felt even more desperate.
"Sasuke, how are you?"
The next second, Naruto turned to look at Sasuke, who was also struggling, and his eyes showed a rare helplessness.
Sasuke's expression was slightly calmer than Naruto's, but his forehead was already covered in a fine layer of sweat.
"Damn, I didn't expect it to be this difficult."
Sasuke gritted his teeth, a hint of resentment in his voice.
Kakashi, seeing their disheveled state, slowly said, "Don't rush, this is just the beginning. Hang in there, this is only the first step. Only under pressure can you truly break through your limits."
A heavy atmosphere enveloped Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha throughout the room.
Their breathing became increasingly rapid.
They finally understood just how terrifying the "challenge" Kakashi had spoken of truly was.
Moreover, they also realized how useful this thing was.
It's amazing that a ninja's physical condition can be improved under such circumstances.
"If you can't adapt to it today, then it won't be usable."
Seeing Naruto Uzumaki seem to have given up completely, Kakashi shook his head and said, "You need to adapt to this gravity in order to keep up with Neji's training. Otherwise, Neji won't adjust to a pace that doesn't put any pressure on you."
