Zuo Ming's Love-Hate Battle, I'm Shipping This CP, Lunar Passage Appears

After being beaten, Sasuke trained even harder.

"Qingwu, please guide my training. I beg you."

Finding Qingwu once again to ask for his guidance—this was Sasuke. For the sake of power, he knew how to bend and stretch.

"Me too! Me too! Don't think you can get stronger in secret all by yourself, you stuck-up Sasuke!" Naruto immediately roared with excitement upon hearing this. "Qingwu, teach me too!"

"Please, guide me as well." Sakura hurriedly bowed and pleaded. Inner Sakura: Damn it, Naruto beat me to it again!

"Hehe, how could training happen without me? Right, Akamaru?" Kiba was also in favor; becoming stronger had always been his pursuit. Akamaru: "Woof woof!"

"Add me," Shino said, as laconic as ever.

"Sigh, what a drag." Shikamaru's face immediately fell. Why was everyone being so competitive? How was he supposed to slack off now? He was just lazy, not actually a dead fish.

"Crunch, crunch. If Shikamaru is going, I'm going too." Choji followed Shikamaru as always. Mmm, these chips are delicious.

"Hmph, no way..."

Ino wrinkled her little nose in dissatisfaction. "Qingwu finally has some time off to spend with us, you guys are so annoying!"

"Ino..." The gentle Hinata tugged at Ino's sleeve to soothe her, though she also wished Qingwu could spend more time with her.

"Alright, be good, Ino. It's fine. I can set training tasks for them and still spend time with you all," Qingwu said gently, rubbing Ino's little head.

"Mm-hmm!"

Feeling the warmth on her head, the restlessness in Ino's heart gradually dissipated.

But she still looked at Qingwu unhappily, her eyes shimmering. "But I don't want to~"

She shook Qingwu's arm like a spoiled child, hoping to receive more comfort.

Oh man, my heart can't take this, Qingwu shouted internally.

Who could resist this?

Hehe, if her old man saw this, he'd be jealous, right?

Have you ever seen this before?

Qingwu smiled helplessly and gently patted Ino's hand. "Be good. Don't we see each other every day?"

"Besides, once you become stronger, you'll be able to protect yourself better and stay by my side even more effectively," he encouraged her gently.

"How about this? You can just stay by my side!"

"Hmm..."

Ino's mood improved slightly after hearing Qingwu's words, but she still pouted. "That won't work. We need to train too, don't underestimate us, okay?"

"We don't want to be too far from you either." Her eyes were filled with determination; she had made up her mind to work hard to improve herself. She was just throwing a little tantrum; she knew how to distinguish what was important.

"Me too," Hinata said softly. "Qingwu-nii... we don't want to become a burden to you..." Her voice carried a hint of shyness, but her eyes were incredibly earnest.

"Please train us."

To Ino and Hinata, the current Qingwu was too dazzling. They wanted to be closer to him, to one day stand by his side and be of help. They knew that only through constant effort could they walk alongside him.

"You two..." Qingwu hugged the two girls, moved. With wives like these, what more could a husband ask for?

"Ahhh, so blinding!"

"The sour stench of romance."

"Why are we even here? We should be sleeping instead of watching others show off their affection..."

"Crunch, crunch."

"So envious..."

"..." The friends had been fed a massive mouthful of dog food.

"Sigh."

Sakura and Naruto were extremely envious. When will Sasuke (Sakura) treat me like that? Sigh.

Youth knows no sorrow...

Love fills the heart... Love fills the heart...

"Alright, let's all do it together. That way we can look out for one another."

And so, Qingwu accompanied his friends in their training, imparting various combat techniques to them. Their strength improved rapidly; by the third grade, they all possessed the strength of a graduating class.

Sasuke was perhaps a bit stronger, capable of taking on veteran genin. Given his age, his nine-year-old physique and power were still lacking, and there was a gap in taijutsu and combat experience...

Don't compare him to Itachi or Kakashi.

Those two were forged on the battlefield.

"Not bad, not bad. Just like that... everyone has made great progress... you can rival the upperclassmen now..." Qingwu praised them with a smile. He had to give everyone some affirmation and motivation.

Naruto immediately said triumphantly, "Hahaha! I knew it! Lord Naruto is a genius, I am the man who will become Hokage..." He stood with his hands on his hips, looking incredibly smug.

"Hehe, I disagree with that. The one who will become Hokage is definitely yours truly, Lord Inuzuka Kiba..." Kiba immediately retorted, thumping his chest loudly just to prove he was capable.

"Woof woof~" Akamaru chimed in.

"The one who will become Hokage is me~" Naruto was displeased and immediately glared back.

Kiba didn't back down: "It's me."

Akamaru bared his teeth in support: "Awoo~"

Two against one, the advantage was his.

"Hmph~ I'm not afraid of you two." A flicker of envy crossed Naruto's eyes; perhaps he should raise a dog too: "Mark my words, Lord Naruto will definitely become Hokage."

"Hahaha~"

What was so funny? Sasuke immediately rolled his eyes: "Idiot~"

Kiba and Akamaru pulled back with perfect chemistry to watch the show.

Shino?! He was squatting in a tree, having watched for a long time.

"Stuck-up Sasuke, what did you say?!" Naruto exploded. Damn it~ I was about to go find you for trouble, and here you are again.

"Idiot~" Sasuke repeated. "How about that? Did you hear clearly? Loser~ Idiot~ Idiot~ Idiot~"

"Ahhh~ I'm so mad! You bastard Sasuke, I'm going to duel you!" Naruto immediately shifted his target toward Sasuke. "I'm definitely going to teach you a lesson."

Hehe~ I've improved so much, I can definitely beat stuck-up Sasuke. Maybe if Sakura sees it, she'll go on a date with me.

Naruto had his own little scheme running in his mind.

"Loser, based on you?! You're not worthy~" Sasuke said disdainfully, arms crossed over his chest, eyes narrowed slightly.

The Second Master perspective activated.

That sense of contempt.

Maxed out.

"Ahhh~ You bastard, to think you look down on me! I won't forgive you!" Seeing that expression, Naruto was instantly incensed, swinging his fist as he charged forward.

"Tch~ As if I'm afraid of you." Seeing this, Sasuke immediately met him head-on, and the two began to fight. He didn't know why, but he felt annoyed whenever he saw this guy, yet missed him when he wasn't around? Am I sick?

Little did he know, Naruto felt the same.

Perhaps.

This is love.

Naruto thought to himself: Why does looking at Sasuke feel the same as looking at Sakura? Maybe this is the bond Qingwu was talking about.

Yeah, that must be it.

Sakura's eyes were blazing with fire: Ahhh~ Damn Naruto, why is he the one who gets Sasuke's attention? So jealous~

Inner Sakura: Haruno Sakura, you're so useless, you can't even keep a man. Go on, beat up Naruto and take back Sasuke-kun~

"Hehe~ They're at it again." Ino had already arrived beside Qingwu and Hinata, looking like she was ready to watch the show.

Shikamaru let out a yawn: "I really don't understand where they get all that energy."

Choji: "Crunch~ crunch~"

Qingwu watched with a chuckle; the love-hate relationship between Indra and Ashura, the cycle of destiny had begun once more.

Fight, fight away; such leisurely times wouldn't last much longer.

Truth be told, he quite enjoyed watching it.

I'm definitely shipping the SasuNaru CP.

Not long after, on a bright and sunny day.

"Main body, can you hear me? The passage to the moon has been found~"
