Climbing Trees to Cultivate

After a pleasant lunch.

Said goodbye to the beautiful teacher, whose hand was still trembling after taking out her wallet.

And... Hinata, who was eight parts full and blushing furiously.

Also... Ino, the hidden little rich girl.

Arrived at Training Ground 7.

Saw the three little ones already fast asleep.

Cangwu didn't wake them, but sat aside, comfortably enjoying the cool breeze.

His enhanced physique had improved him in all aspects.

For example, after returning from the BBQ Q.

He felt an uncomfortable sense of being watched.

He figured someone had been tailing him the whole way.

If he guessed correctly.

Cangwu looked at the calm surface of the lake.

His peripheral vision was focused on the dense woods not far away.

As expected, when his gaze shifted there, the uncomfortable feeling of being watched disappeared.

'Danzo's Root Organization?'

They were likely here to monitor the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

And also, to investigate an inconspicuous him.

Cangwu suppressed the urge to test his abilities.

After all, it wasn't time to reveal his hand to these old geezers yet.

However, being monitored was still annoying.

Thinking this, Cangwu closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

His fingers were hidden where the Root ninja couldn't see.

A ray of golden light flashed.

Using the bright sun as cover, the golden light shot towards the Root ninja's hiding spot.

RUMBLE--!!!

Instantly, the golden light flared intensely.

The Root ninja's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

In an instant, his eyes lost their luster.

The blinding golden light had permanently taken his vision.

And the moment the golden light exploded, the Root ninja, relying on muscle memory, instantly Body Flickered away.

"What happened?"

Root ninjas usually didn't act alone.

"I don't know... I was blinded by a light."

"Was it that unknown Genin, Cangwu?!"

"N-no, it wasn't him, he was with the target, resting under the tree."

"Let's go, we need to report back to Lord Danzo immediately!"

Cangwu watched the Root ninja flee in disarray, a slight smirk playing on his lips.

The commotion just now wasn't too big, nor too small.

"Cangwu?"

Sasuke opened his eyes.

Clearly, the commotion was enough to wake him.

Sakura merely frowned, but didn't wake up.

Only Naruto, from beginning to end, slept like a pig.

"Teacher Cangwu."

Sasuke quickly added after regaining some clarity.

"Mm."

Cangwu nodded slightly in response.

After a moment of silence, Sasuke said in a deep voice:

"Teacher Cangwu, you're not weak, so why have you always been a Genin? And teaching at the Ninja Academy?"

Cangwu replied without thinking, "To wait for you three to graduate."

Sasuke: "..."

Do you think I'd believe that?

Taking a deep breath, Sasuke said again, "Teacher Cangwu... how much of a gap is there between me and that man?"

Cangwu glanced at Sasuke. "You want the truth?"

Sasuke nodded.

"He could kill you with one blow."

Sasuke: "..."

Memories of the Night of the Uchiha Clan Massacre surfaced in his mind.

He clenched his fist. "Has the gap not changed at all?!"

"It's fine, just follow the training and you'll get stronger."

Cangwu's words calmed Sasuke considerably.

"So, Teacher Cangwu, when do we start training?" Sasuke's expression turned cold again, but his eyes were filled with determination.

"No rush, we'll start when those two wake up."

"If you're bored, you can go practice Fire Style over there, but don't deplete too much chakra."

Cangwu pondered for a moment and said, "For you personally, simplifying the hand seals for the Great Fireball is what you need to do right now."

"Also, you'll need to master chakra nature transformation on your own."

"These are things you'll have to figure out yourself. I'll only give you a general direction."

Sasuke frowned, digesting Cangwu's words.

A moment later, Sasuke silently walked away into the distance.

Cangwu treated Team 7 equally.

He wouldn't deliberately cultivate anyone in a targeted manner.

It was simple: he didn't need to teach according to the whims of those above him.

Nor would he have as many scruples as Kakashi.

Does Kakashi know the Rasengan?

The answer is yes, after all, the Chidori was developed with the Rasengan as a reference.

Why didn't he teach Naruto the Rasengan?

Because Jiraiya was above him.

How was Jiraiya's teaching?

How to put it... besides fostering unnecessary emotions, it was mediocre.

The so-called fostering of emotions didn't make Naruto any better.

After all, he was already a very problematic existence himself.

How could such a person teach anyone well?

In comparison, Kakashi was different.

Training is training, and cultivating the mind is cultivating the mind.

Teaching Naruto didn't really require much difficulty.

For the development of the Rasenshuriken, honestly, Kakashi only needed to provide a direction and a training ground.

Naruto could have figured it out himself.

Thanks to the existence of the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu.

Coupled with Naruto's uniqueness (his brain and his tolerance were not that of a normal person).

As for Sakura... if she hadn't met Tsunade, the finale would have seen Naruto and Sasuke, not Team 7, making Kakashi proud.

It's very realistic.

It was also because Sakura had Tsunade as her master that she qualified to enter Konoha's high ranks.

Afternoon.

When Sasuke returned, Naruto and Sakura woke up one after another.

He sat cross-legged before Cangwu, asking about the afternoon's training.

"It's a training for chakra control, and also a foundational advanced training for ninjas."

"Chakra training?" The three children were taken aback.

Sakura immediately asked, "Teacher Cangwu, when you say chakra training, do you mean we'll be practicing chakra refinement techniques?"

"I already know how to do that!" Naruto shouted.

Sasuke, with a cold expression, glanced at Naruto. "Idiot."

Naruto: "???"

This arrogant Sasuke, I really want to beat him to the ground!

Cangwu waved his hand and said, "As I said, it's advanced training, so it naturally won't be the most basic training like chakra refinement techniques."

Speaking, Cangwu walked to a large tree and looked at its height, feeling it was about right.

"So, the next training—climbing trees."

"Climbing trees?!" x3

This time, even Sasuke joined in.

"Teacher Cangwu, why do we have to climb trees?" Sakura asked somewhat hesitantly.

"To let you practice controlling chakra."

"Also, it will allow you to adapt to fighting in various terrains in the future."

Cangwu no longer played coy. He withdrew the gentle smile from his face and said, "Alright, my three little friends."

Little friends?

Without giving them a chance to speak, Cangwu said sternly, "Watch carefully now. Remember, you must watch carefully."

He specifically added this reminder.

After speaking, he lifted his foot, and under the incredulous gazes of the three children.

He stood on the tree trunk with both feet, parallel to the ground.

"This... Amazing~!!" Naruto's eyes widened, all his previous impatience gone.

"This is... advanced basic... chakra control?" Sakura covered her mouth slightly, her eyes wide.

Sasuke was also a little surprised. "So that's it, this is the training for chakra control..."

Sakura and Sasuke, prompted by Cangwu, grasped some key points.

Only Naruto hadn't reacted yet.

After Cangwu reached the top of the large tree, he jumped down.

"Now, it's your turn."

Whoosh whoosh whoosh--

The next moment, three kunai were stuck in front of the three children.

"This training isn't difficult."
