Lightning Cutter in the Left Hand, Rasengan in the Right

Monster Strength!

As Tsunade's disciple, how could Tian Ge possibly not know it?

The only thing he did not know was the Yin Seal!

It was not that he could not learn the Yin Seal; Tian Ge simply did not want to learn it yet!

He wanted to study it first and see whether he could continue improving it.

After all, after the ninja era came the era of tattoos. Tsunade's Yin Seal was very similar to the Otsutsuki Clan's Karma!

Tian Ge wanted to see if he could figure it out. If not, he would find a way to bring it into the inheritance space and try it there!

Even if he could only receive two inheritances at once, he intended to try after completing the Byakugan inheritance!

Moreover, Tian Ge had a feeling that he was not limited to receiving only two inheritances at once; his strength simply was not enough!

Once he became strong enough, he should be able to unlock other inheritances. That bead was incredibly mysterious, and Tian Ge had not managed to learn even the slightest thing about it!

"So... so amazing!"

"Teacher, can you... really teach me this?"

Tian Ge did not speak, merely giving a slight nod!

"Thank you, Teacher!"

"I'll definitely work hard!"

Next, Tian Ge explained the techniques for using Monster Strength to Sakura one by one!

Monster Strength inherently required extremely refined chakra control, and Sakura had a natural advantage in that regard!

With Inner Sakura as well, learning it would definitely take half the effort for twice the result!

"Practice on your own!"

"You have to work harder than them. I also plan to teach you medical ninjutsu!"

"Neither of those two is any good at that!"

"Yes, Teacher!"

At that moment, Sakura felt that her cold-faced teacher was not so frightening after all!

With her family background, she would likely never have had the chance to learn such a secret technique in her entire life!

Yet now, on only their second day and second meeting, her cold-faced teacher had already taught it to her!

Ino had been right. This was an opportunity—an earth-shattering opportunity for her!

The kind that, once missed, would never come again in a lifetime. She absolutely... absolutely could not miss it!

After that, Sakura trained like she had gone mad, as if pumped full of stimulants. Even though her hands kept bleeding, she did not care in the slightest!

For Sakura, who had once cared so much about her appearance and pampered every strand of her hair, this was simply unimaginable.

Every treatment Tian Ge gave her took less than two minutes before she needed treatment again!

Tian Ge found it troublesome, so he directly created a Shadow Clone and had it stay beside her solely to treat her!

"Assistant, go back and buy a few boxed lunches. It's time for them to eat lunch!"

Kakashi, who had been watching from nearby the whole time, felt deeply frustrated. He had really become an errand boy.

"Fine!"

But could he refuse?

He could not, nor did he dare to!

Over the course of the morning, he had witnessed the progress of the three children, especially Sakura!

This girl had truly shocked him. In Kakashi's eyes, Sakura had been nothing more than a pretty face!

A buffer arranged by the Third Hokage to ease the conflict between Naruto and Sasuke!

But judging from her performance that morning, Sakura had completely outclassed the other two!

And Kakashi could naturally see that, over the course of one morning, Sakura—

had undergone a double transformation, both physically and mentally, and was slowly building confidence!

Because she had been nearly half a day faster than Sasuke, usually considered the most talented.

That made Sakura feel that she was not incapable; she had simply never worked hard or pushed herself to the limit before!

If she truly risked everything and gave it her all, she could do it too.

The more Sakura trained, the more excited and confident she became. Even with sweat drenching her head and her hair twisted into clumps, she did not care at all!

She even forgot the pain in her hands, punching again and again as she felt out the use of Monster Strength!

Bang!

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

The sounds of her attacks rang out continuously across the field. By the time Kakashi returned, she could already punch a small crater into the ground!

Though that level was nothing to Kakashi, what astonished him was the little girl's rate of improvement!

This... was another genius?

How had no one discovered her at the ninja academy?

When Naruto and Sasuke were called back to eat, seeing Sakura's progress dealt them another huge blow!

Could Sakura be the real genius?

Sasuke especially had said that morning that he would protect Sakura until she caught up!

But looking at things now, why did it feel like the situation had reversed?

Naruto and he had been the ones chasing after her, even in the area where they had always been criticized for their strength...

Sasuke looked at the small craters scattered across the ground, each one made by a fist. He asked himself whether he could make them.

He could not!

"Stop staring!"

"Eat!"

"As long as you two can complete water-walking before six o'clock, I'll teach each of you one ninjutsu!"

Tian Ge formed seals one-handed with his left hand. He was incredibly fast, and lightning continuously flickered across it!

He casually struck the two large trees beside him. They snapped apart at once, their broken sections charred black!

Then he raised his right hand, and a blue sphere continuously spun in his palm!

The tree to his right was directly pierced through with a huge hole, and even several trees beyond it were caught in the attack!

"So... so amazing!"

Naruto's eyes flashed brightly. He had to learn it—he absolutely had to learn it!

Sasuke secretly clenched his fists. Sure enough, only by following him could they learn practical things!

The two instantly grabbed their boxed lunches and desperately stuffed food into their mouths. In less than two minutes, they dashed toward the stream with bulging cheeks!

After the two rushed off, Kakashi, who had long been stunned speechless, could not help asking Tian Ge!

"I never expected you to be so knowledgeable about ninjutsu too!"

He knew very well that one of those techniques had been the Lightning Cutter he developed himself!

The other was his teacher's Rasengan. And this guy had actually used one-handed seals to cast Lightning Cutter while simultaneously using Rasengan with his right hand!

Was this guy really even human?

The problem was, weren't members of the Hyuga Clan supposed to practice only Gentle Fist?

"Just because I don't use them doesn't mean I don't know them!"

"Is this difficult?"

Tian Ge's tone was utterly calm, as though he were talking about something insignificant.

Tian Ge's words instantly made Kakashi withdraw into himself. That was one-handed seal casting, and that was releasing different ninjutsu from both hands at the same time!

Boss, could you please not be so casual about it? You're making me look like some ignorant country bumpkin!

Sakura was, after all, a girl and did not eat as fast as the two boys. She heard their conversation from the side.

Her respect for Tian Ge rose by another great deal. She hurriedly finished her boxed lunch, stood up, and resumed practicing Monster Strength!

She remembered that her teacher had said he would teach her medical ninjutsu as well.

Sakura now understood only one thing: anything her teacher taught could not possibly be bad!

No matter what he taught, even if it cost her life, she would learn it!

And besides... Sakura looked toward Naruto, who had already created Multiple Shadow Clones to train, and Sasuke, who had not stopped for even a moment!

Those two were working desperately too. She absolutely could not fall too far behind!

In the end, Naruto and Sasuke still completed it before six o'clock.

As promised, Tian Ge taught them the two ninjutsu respectively, leaving them to practice them slowly afterward!

"Tomorrow at eight, gather at the usual place!"

"Be prepared to take a mission!"

"Dismissed!"

The moment Naruto and the other two watched Tian Ge's departing back, they collapsed onto the ground!

So tired! But... so fulfilled!
