A New Ultimate Move
With two loud bangs, Naruto and Konohamaru each received a sharp rap on the forehead from Sakura Haruno, immediately clutching their foreheads and crouching on the ground, groaning in pain.
"Ouch... Teacher, I was wrong!"
"What a nostalgic feeling..."
Sakura Haruno rolled her Byakugan at the two of them.
You two!
She wasn't angry because the two of them were practicing Ninjutsu in private—after all, as a transmigrator, Sakura Haruno had been through it all and knew that boys at this age had a strong curiosity about the opposite sex.
This is commonly known as the Teddy Bear stage.
In my past life, I also seriously considered what kind of effect combining Shadow Clone Technique and Transformation Technique could achieve... I'm not bragging, but the generation that grew up in the internet age had a much richer and more exciting imagination than Naruto.
What are Harem Jutsu compared to that?
While Naruto's Harem Jutsu is indeed unique... cough cough.
Sakura Haruno was furious because the two of them used Ninjutsu right in front of her, and in broad daylight, on the street.
Don't you have any shame?!
The girl screamed inwardly in frustration.
She felt that being around these two people made her feel like she was being looked at strangely.
So she used two loving punches to firmly suppress the two unruly guys.
Sakura Haruno, exasperated, grabbed Konohamaru's ear and scolded him, "Konohamaru, you get all cocky when you see Naruto, don't you! Of all the Ninjutsu to learn, why did you have to pick this one from your brother Naruto! Is this the kind of boring Ninjutsu you're so proud of? It's driving your teacher crazy!"
Then, pointing at Naruto's forehead, he spit out a string of complaints. "And you!"
"Naruto, you idiot! You've trained with Jiraiya for two years, and all you've learned is his lechery! And you've even set a bad example by teaching Konohamaru this kind of thing!"
"And besides, would a real ninja demonstrate this kind of Sexy Ninjutsu in the street? You should have some self-awareness!"
She spoke without stopping.
Sakura Haruno gave the two a Hayate rebuke before letting them off the hook.
"Hmph, I'll let you off this time. But if there's a next time, I won't let you off so easily, understand?" the girl said with a displeased expression.
"Hehe, I understand, teacher." Konohamaru rubbed his forehead and stood up, pouting. Although Sakura Haruno's punch hurt terribly, it was precise enough not to leave any bruises.
"Wait... teacher?"
Naruto suddenly caught the word and exclaimed in surprise.
His gaze swept back and forth between Sakura Haruno and Konohamaru, and he asked in surprise, "Sakura is the teacher?"
"Yes," Konohamaru replied matter-of-factly, "I've been following Sakura-sensei since I graduated from the Ninja Academy."
"Then wouldn't you be just like Kakashi-sensei?"
Sakura Haruno nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"I'm already a Jonin, what's wrong with me mentoring newcomers like Kakashi-sensei?" Seeing Naruto's wide-eyed expression, Sakura Haruno puffed out her chest and laughed.
The girl then put her hand on Konohamaru's shoulder, mimicking Kakashi's gesture, and continued, "Konohamaru is in Sakura Haruno's Team, and I'm their teacher!"
It's perfectly normal for Jonin to become a team leader.
But Naruto never associated Sakura with his role as the team leader.
He knew that Sakura Haruno had been promoted to Jonin and that Jonin could lead teams. But he never imagined that Sakura Haruno would also have her own Sakura Haruno's Team.
"Really?!"
Naruto stared in disbelief, his expression blank.
Sakura Haruno couldn't help but chuckle; even Konohamaru joined in, teasing Naruto's expression.
As she was laughing, two other children from Sakura Haruno's Team walked over.
Moegi and Udon need no introduction; they were former members of Konohamaru Corps and used to be Naruto's shadow when they played house with Konohamaru. Upon seeing each other, everyone waved with delight.
"Hey, Udon, Moegi! Hehe... Long time no see!" Naruto waved and shouted as soon as he saw the two.
"Naruto- nii, you're back in the village!" Moegi and Udon ran over excitedly, laughing, "Ah, Sensei's here too! It's been so long!"
"Teacher?" Naruto was taken aback, looking at Sakura Haruno, "You two are also..."
"Is it strange?" The girl's lips curled into a smile.
"Uh... yes."
Naruto's eyes darted around, he scratched the back of his head, chuckled, and realized he'd asked a silly question.
The three children grew up together, were childhood sweethearts, and had excellent chemistry, so it's normal that they ended up on the same team.
Naruto was just a little sentimental. The three kids who used to chase after him and play around with him were now real ninjas, following him around.
"Wow, things have changed so much..."
The three students in Sakura Haruno's Team hadn't seen Naruto for two years, and hadn't seen their teacher for a month.
Upon seeing the two, they became incredibly enthusiastic, chattering incessantly around them.
He asked Naruto about his experiences over the past two years with great curiosity.
Naruto naturally wouldn't reveal some confidential information. However, after traveling to various countries over the past two years, Naruto's horizons have broadened considerably. He can embellish some of the interesting stories from his travels and still manage to leave the three inexperienced students in Sakura Haruno's Team completely bewildered.
They're still children, after all.
"At that time, the Akahoshi of the Hoshigakure, Akahoshi, roared, then took a deep breath, and his body swelled into a giant eight feet tall and eight feet in circumference. Behind him, thick Chakra condensed into a pair of enormous, materialized wings, which were this big!" Naruto recounted, gesturing wildly as he spoke. "But I remained fearless in the face of danger!"
Clench your fist! Gather all your Chakra in your hand—Yaha! This is my strongest attack!
Naruto got into a punching stance, pretending to be a very powerful expert.
"Behold my Ten-Thousand-Ton Heavy Fist!"
He threw a punch with a whoosh, mimicking the whooshing sound of the punch, but before his fist was even halfway through, it was pressed down by a slender, fair hand.
"Alright, stop bragging." Sakura Haruno glared at him. "The more I look at your pose, the more it resembles Monstrous Strength Technique! That's clearly my move, okay!"
"Why don't you use your own moves instead!"
Naruto's signature moves are clearly the Rasengan and the fox transformation.
The boy chuckled sheepishly and said shyly, "That Pervy Sage told me to keep that secret..."
The information about the Tailed Beast Transformation is a very important secret of the ninja village, and Naruto was right not to show himself. However, he subconsciously used the Nintaijutsu: Star Cannon Fist instead, probably because Naruto subconsciously felt that this punch was even more violent than the Rasengan...
"But besides that one move, I can show you my other new special techniques, you'll be very surprised!" Naruto quickly added, seeing Konohamaru and the others looking at him with suspicion.
"A new trick?"
Konohamaru snorted twice, raised his chin, and said, "I also have a new special move!"
"That's right, that's right! I have a new technique too! It's one I just mastered recently, a move that even Sakura-sensei hasn't seen before!" Moegi and Udon eagerly chimed in.
Since they were ninjas, their conversations inevitably turned to the topic of Ninjutsu.
Since Sakura Haruno's Team of three passed the exams and were promoted to Chunin, Sakura Haruno hasn't formally coached them for a long time.
Hearing that the three had all learned new moves, the girl's eyes lit up.
"Everyone's here and has time," she said with a smile, patting Moegi's head. "How about we go to the training ground?"
"It's been a long time since I've had a training session with you guys... Let me see how much you've improved!"
At this point, she didn't think the three of them would make any breakthrough progress.
--I just assumed the three of them had learned some new moves from somewhere.
"If it doesn't work out well, I'll have to put in some effort to teach them a few practical tricks..." she thought to herself.
As a result, Sakura Haruno received a pleasant surprise at a secluded training ground in Konoha...
Yes, even frightened.
The first character shown is Konohamaru.
This child is a disciple of his grandfather and is Sakura Haruno's least worrisome student. The Third Hokage had already prepared everything for him.
"Let me unleash the new technique I just learned a few days ago... Come forth, Enma!"
Konohamaru, biting his finger, swiftly formed hand Hand Seals and then stylishly slammed them to the ground.
With a bang, a cloud of Chakra rose from the boy's palm, and within the thick fog, a dark shadow appeared and disappeared.
Sakura Haruno and the others stared intently, and saw a Monkey hanging on Konohamaru's arm, looking at them with a blank expression.
It was a rather delicate baby monkey, with a pair of bright, round eyes on its childlike face, looking both cute and adorable—clearly, it couldn't be the legendary Third subordinate, the powerful summoning beast Enma.
"Chirp?"
"Still a Monkey that hasn't been weaned... Hahahaha!" Naruto took a closer look and burst into laughter.
"Aaaaaah!" Konohamaru was mortified. He quickly sent the Monkey back, exclaiming in frustration, "Damn it, I didn't use enough Chakra!"
Sakura Haruno's lips twitched.
She shook her head slightly, patted Konohamaru's shoulder comfortingly, and said, "You'll get better with practice... When Naruto first started learning the Summoning Technique, he could only summon tadpoles for several days."
He has no right to laugh at you!
Although it was a mishap, Konohamaru's technique was still a pleasant surprise for Sakura Haruno.
After all, Summoning Technique are a rather rare thing.
Don't be fooled by the fact that everyone in the manga seems to have Summoning Technique. In the real ninja world, those who actually possess summoning beasts, especially powerful ones, are extremely rare. Even a ninja of Kakashi's caliber can only rely on his pet Ninja Dog as a substitute.
Although the ape clan is not as strong as the Toad of Mount Myōboku or the giant serpent clan of Ryūchi Cave, their fighting power is by no means weak.
This can be seen in the case of the Enma.
As the Third's strongest ally, Enma, though not as large as the summoning beasts of the Sannin, possesses combat power approaching that of Kage Level ninja. Moreover, it can transform into an indestructible, deadly weapon, making it an extremely beneficial supplement to the Third Hokage's fighting strength.
Of course, the Enma was still too far away for Konohamaru.
In short, Konohamaru's path as a ninja has clearly been paved by the Third Hokage. The Ninjutsu that Hiruzen Sarutobi prepared for him is enough to keep him going until he grows to the level of Kage Level.
"Go back and do your best, Konohamaru!" Sakura Haruno smiled with satisfaction and said, "So, who's next?"
"I'll do it! I'll do it!"
Moegi couldn't wait any longer and jumped out, saying mysteriously, "My technique... Teacher, you'd better be prepared, don't be too surprised!"
She confidently Earth Flow the center of the arena and began to unleash her Ninjutsu on the open space in front of her.
Naruto watched as her Chakra fluctuated several times, but there was still no obvious change on the field, so he frowned. "Moegi, did you use your technique? I didn't see any change!"
Shh! Don't speak yet!
Sakura Haruno interrupted Naruto's shouting, staring intently at Moegi with an unusually serious expression on her face.
--Much more serious than when Konohamaru used the Summoning Technique earlier.
"I think I understand."
The girl thought for a moment, smiled slightly, and walked into the weeds in front of Moegi.
"Hey!"
"Gotcha, teacher!" Moegi chuckled mischievously, and her Chakra surged forth!
To everyone's astonishment, a thick vine suddenly rose from beneath the girl's feet, binding her firmly to the spot!
"Wood Release: Devil Vine Killing Binding Technique!"
Wood Release...?!
[This is a make-up of last night's update. I'm truly sorry; I sat there all day, but I couldn't get satisfied with what I wrote. I couldn't find a balance between advancing the plot and enriching the details, and I couldn't find suitable inspiration. I revised it several times, but still couldn't find a better way, so I had to write it according to the original plan.]
[One more chapter to come.]
