Progress at lightning speed: the sky cleared, the rain stopped, and Uchiha Sasuke thought he had what it took again

Elsewhere.

Daylight gradually brightened, though the mist among the Bamboo Forest had yet to fully disperse. Qingwu leaned against a thick green stalk, watching what was happening in the clearing, and couldn't help bursting into laughter.

Xiaoguang had dragged him here.

Yes, to watch her train Sasuke, her "grandson."

A grandson many generations removed.

"Pfft!" Just thinking about how Guang had solemnly declared Sasuke her descendant and grandson made Qingwu laugh.

Then did that make him...

A great-grandfather many times over?

"Tsk, tsk... Qin and I... hehehe..."

He thought of a certain woman with long, straight black hair in the Small World.

His heart immediately burned with desire.

In the clearing, Guang moved as swiftly as a phantom.

"Faster, Sasuke Uchiha! Did you come here to perform circus tricks?! Even the old ladies buying groceries in Konoha are more agile than you..."

Each dodge avoided Sasuke's attacks by exactly the right margin, while the wind blades and fireballs she casually flung out struck the weak points in his defenses with unerring precision.

How was this instruction?

She was clearly using him as a punching bag.

Yet Sasuke willingly embraced it.

"That little Guang is having a grand time warming up," Qingwu murmured, amusement in his eyes.

She was practically spoon-feeding him.

Sasuke, that grandson, really was lucky.

Indeed, although Guang's attacks were fierce, she kept every move at precisely the level needed to draw out Sasuke's potential.

"Speed means nothing without accuracy! Are you trying to get yourself killed?! If this were a kunai instead of my fist, you'd be dead!"

"Yes, Guang Sen Sen!" Sasuke gritted his teeth and kept attacking. He thought his great-grandmother was right. He really was doing it wrong.

Kunai flew out.

He lunged forward, attacking with fists and feet, then attacking again and again.
