Cloud Bamboo Cottage
It was late at night. Hyuga Iwa lay in bed, his thoughts wandering.
Before he knew it, so many years had already passed!
The Fire Rock Squad had been together for several years now. Might Guy had learned to control chakra, and influenced by the two of them, Hongye was no longer so proud. She had become more low-key, and her strength had advanced by leaps and bounds. Although she had yet to awaken her Sharingan, she was not much weaker than those clan members who had.
Kakashi Hatake had reportedly been nominated for promotion to Jonin. He wondered whether Kakashi could pass. There should not be any problem, right?
As for himself, he had gained a preliminary grasp of Natural Energy. His Eight Gates training was progressing steadily, one step at a time. There were also Sealing Jutsu, ninjutsu, research, and so on. There were more and more things to do, each more important and difficult than the last.
As he thought, Hyuga Iwa gradually fell asleep.
The night grew deeper, and all of Leaf Village sank into darkness. Only scattered lights stubbornly remained lit. From afar, they looked dim and faint.
At this moment, only a few lamps remained lit in the Hokage Tower, one of them inside the Hokage's Office.
The Third Hokage looked through the Fire Rock Squad's more detailed files, his mind filled with countless thoughts.
Hyuga Iwa and Might Guy probably had not lied. They truly had learned the sensing method by emptying their minds. But why did that method sound so childish?
The Third Hokage reviewed everything he had learned in his life, as well as the cultivation methods he knew. Then he suddenly realized that Hyuga Iwa's method seemed quite similar to the cultivation methods of the Fire Temple
