This Ability Isn't Suitable for You to Train In Yet

Training ground.

Boom--

The clash of Chakra caused sand and gravel to rise from the entire training ground.

In the training field, an orange and a black figure attacked each other, and another muffled sound was heard.

"No, Sasuke, your Activated Mark is a bit too much."

As Naruto spoke, he rubbed his slightly numb hands.

Sasuke pouted, somewhat dissatisfied, and said, "Why don't you say your Chakra reserves and regeneration are even more unfair?"

"It's just how I was born, there's nothing I can do about it." Naruto's tone was seemingly troubled, but actually boastful.

Sasuke, standing on the opposite side, twitched at the corner of his mouth; Naruto looked so irritating.

"Ah, it seems my disciples are still as energetic as ever."

A lazy voice rang out, and Hagoromo, who was perched on a branch, spoke with a smile on her face.

"Teacher!"

"Teacher! You're back!"

Naruto and the others ran over and stood under the tree, looking at Hagoromo and asking him questions.

"Yeah, but what were Naruto and Sasuke doing just now?"

Hagoromo stood up, jumped down from the branch, patted Naruto's head, and asked.

"Sasuke is thinking of experimenting with Activated Mark and fusing it into his Inch Force," Naruto chuckled as his head was being patted.

"That's good, having ideas is a good thing."

Hagoromo chuckled, guessing that Sasuke was thinking of using breathing techniques to reduce the consumption of the seal.

"What was the result?" Hagoromo asked Sasuke.

"It's alright, but I'm still not used to it." Sasuke nodded in satisfaction.

The consumption of Activated Mark has indeed decreased somewhat, but it is quite difficult to combine it with breathing techniques.

"That's not bad either; strength doesn't grow overnight."

Hagoromo smiled and said, "We've experienced explosive growth during this period."

Naruto and the others have actually reached a critical point; what follows is simply a matter of time and growth.

"By the way, teacher, what's your mission this time?" Naruto asked curiously.

This time, my teacher's assignment did take a bit longer than usual; normally it only takes a few days at most.

This time it's been almost half a month.

"It's an S-rank mission, so it takes a bit longer," Hagoromo explained, shrugging.

"Eh! S-rank mission!"

Naruto instantly felt incredibly impressed and exclaimed exaggeratedly.

"Can you tell me what the specific mission is, teacher?" Sasuke, looking on with anticipation.

Although Shikamaru and the others didn't speak, Hagoromo could tell from their anticipation.

Hagoromo Yi touched her chin; as long as she didn't reveal where it came from, there wouldn't be any problem.

Furthermore, it is necessary to let these disciples know the dangers of the Shinobi World.

Don't wait until graduation to still be a clueless newbie.

"Can."

Hagoromo led the group to sit down under the tree, and then began to Hagoromo.

The disciples sitting next to Hagoromo were all stunned.

After all, whether it was the immortality of the Hagoromo or any particular sect, it was something they had never heard of or seen before.

As soon as Hagoromo finished speaking, Naruto slammed his fist into the ground.

"These people are really going too far." After all, for Naruto, becoming a ninja was to protect others.

However, the Takase that Hagoromo mentioned was abusing his status as Chunin, doing whatever he pleased.

Sasuke, meanwhile, was pondering how to deal with such a formidable enemy.

After thinking about it for a while, he shook his head. Either he absolutely avoided bleeding, while maintaining distance and mobility.

Then they would try to disrupt the ceremony.

However, all of these foundations are based on strength.

Still not strong enough...

Hagoromo smacked Sasuke on the head in annoyance and said slowly, "I'm telling you this so you know how complicated the Shinobi World is."

"The systems of power are diverse; don't be too narrow-minded."

"Yes, teacher," Sasuke answered honestly.

After all, their teachers had always used a question-and-answer format to get them to put themselves in the students' shoes and think about how to solve the problems.

So, after a while, he got used to it.

Shikamaru, on the other hand, rested his hands behind his head and leaned against a large tree behind him.

There is no such thing as heaven or hell.

This is a near-abnormal perfectionist with extremely strong mental fortitude whom Shikamaru encountered while using the Mirage Vapor Pearl.

Or rather, judging solely by his intellect, this person is a genius monster.

Even he was at a disadvantage when he encountered him, and was often outmaneuvered by him.

After all, that person's manipulation of human nature made Shikamaru feel like he wasn't facing a human being.

If there's a flaw, it's that he's overconfident and often mutters to himself.

The words Shikamaru just said were spoken by that genius monster.

In some ways, Shikamaru seemed to have grasped the meaning of those words.

For ordinary people who encounter this cult, this world is hell.

But for him and Naruto and the others living in Konoha, the world wasn't actually that bad.

"This is so troublesome..."

Shikamaru stopped himself from thinking any further.

It doesn't benefit me at all.

Hagoromo naturally heard Shikamaru's words, but did not offer a reply.

This kid will handle it himself, and don't let Shikamaru's seemingly passive, lazy, and ordinary appearance fool you.

However, that was simply because he hadn't encountered anything that concerned him.

To be honest, this kid's contradictory personality traits make him even more reassuring.

"Teacher Hagoromo, what is this Sage Mode you mentioned?"

Naruto, with a slightly sly look on his face, asked Hagoromo.

After all, my teacher looked incredibly cool during the promotion test recorded by Cat San San last time.

Moreover, it seems that using it provides a significant boost to the user's abilities.

You are not yet qualified to cultivate.

Hagoromo, annoyed, pointed a finger and tapped Naruto on the forehead.

"Ouch!" Naruto out in pain, clutching his forehead.

"Teacher, I'm just curious. After all, it feels different from our usual cultivation methods."

"It is indeed different. It utilizes an energy called 'Senjutsu Chakra,' an ability that is currently unsuitable for your training."

Hagoromo said calmly, "Naruto and the others haven't really matured yet."

Chakra control isn't perfect, and there's also the Sacred Land assessment for Cat San San.

Although Hagoromo passed through easily, it doesn't mean it was an easy journey.

At least, we'll have to wait until Naruto's own thinking matures and he dares to face his dark side.

Only when Hagoromo considers teaching them will it signify that they have truly grown up.

"Alright, let's continue cultivating."

Hagoromo clapped her hands and said to her disciples, "If we can finish our training early today, I'll take you to the barbecue restaurant!"

"Yay!"

"I want to eat meat!"

"Shikamaru, Sasuke, hurry up!"

Upon hearing this, Naruto and Choji pulled Shikamaru and Sasuke to their feet.
