Obito: I'll Create a World Where Rin Exists!

Sasuke Uchiha tossed the balloon aside, turned his head, and shoved his hands into his pockets. His face reddened slightly as he snorted. "Hmph. Boring."

He had thought it would be easy, but he hadn't expected it to be this hard!

"Sasuke, being able to release your Chakra at all is impressive." Aogetsu Hyuga praised Sasuke, then looked down at Naruto Uzumaki and said flatly, "But you... You're pretty dumb."

Praising one while putting down the other worked well, especially with Naruto and Sasuke.

Naruto Uzumaki gritted his teeth. "Damn it! Don't underestimate me. Give me one day, and I'll burst this balloon!"

He couldn't lose to Sasuke!

Just watch. I'll burst it in a day!

Aogetsu Hyuga said, "I'll teach you a good trick."

"What trick?" Naruto Uzumaki asked, puzzled.

"Train with your Shadow Clones at the same time. The results might surprise you," Aogetsu Hyuga said.

"Shadow Clones...?" Naruto Uzumaki was still trying to make sense of it.

"Go play over there." Aogetsu Hyuga picked Naruto up and threw him toward a distant patch of grass.

"Aaah—bastard!" Before Naruto Uzumaki could react, he went flying with the balloon in his arms and landed hard on the grass.

"...Damn it. Once I'm stronger, I'll teach you a lesson!" Naruto Uzumaki scrambled up, dusted off his clothes, and thought back to what Aogetsu had said.

Training with Shadow Clones could produce surprising results.

"Oh, I get it! That's Aogetsu-sensei for you!" Realization dawned on Naruto Uzumaki, and he crossed two fingers to form a Hand Seal.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"

Poof! Pale smoke blanketed the area, and dozens of Shadow Clones emerged from it.

"He caught on quickly. Maybe that little fool has some brains after all." Aogetsu Hyuga's lips curved slightly, appreciation flashing in his eyes.

Naruto Uzumaki clasped his hands behind his head and grinned at his dozens of Shadow Clones. "You guys work hard. I'm going over there to take a nap. Wake me when you burst the balloon."

"With Shadow Clones training for me, I can slack off. Aogetsu-sensei is a genius to think of such a great trick." Naruto Uzumaki turned and walked away, grinning.

"Bastard, get back here! I should be the one resting. You get to work!"

"Hey, I've been working hard all day! I'm the one who deserves a break!"

"You dare hit me?"

"I'm gonna kill you!"

"Damn it! I want Ramen!"

"Who cares? So do I!"

The dozens of Shadow Clones descended into a brawl. In the end, they all vanished, leaving a battered Naruto Uzumaki behind.

Aogetsu Hyuga covered his mouth to hide a laugh. "Fighting himself. Pfft... That's hilarious."

Maybe he has brains after all?

Nope!

That Nine-Tails brat really is an idiot!

Aogetsu Hyuga turned to Sasuke Uchiha. "As for you, you can release a small amount of Chakra now. Try infusing it with Lightning Nature."

"Use the feeling you get when you perform Fire Release."

"Right. Got it." Sasuke Uchiha walked off, sat with his back against a tree, and released pale blue Chakra from his palm. He tried infusing it with an elemental nature, but nothing he did worked.

The feeling of Fire Release...

Sakura Haruno tugged at Aogetsu's shirt and pointed at herself, her face full of anticipation. "Aogetsu-sensei, what about me? What am I suited for?"

Aogetsu Hyuga looked at Sakura Haruno seriously. "Close combat."

"..." Sakura Haruno stared at Aogetsu Hyuga, speechless, as if he had to be joking.

Close combat?

You've got to be kidding!

I'm a girl!

"Close combat," Aogetsu Hyuga repeated.

"I heard you the first time!" Sakura Haruno said, exasperated.

"Aogetsu-sensei, could you stop messing around?" Sakura Haruno protested. "We're supposed to face that missing-nin in five days. Sending me in to fight him with my fists is sending me to my death!"

The man they would face in five days was an A-Rank Missing-nin—the Demon of Kirigakure, Zabuza Momochi.

And she was supposed to punch a Jonin?

How was that any different from sending her to her death?

Aogetsu Hyuga rubbed his chin and feigned surprise. "That's strange. I'm clearly stronger, yet you have the nerve to punch me. But you're too scared to punch some loser I took down in a second?"

"That's different." Sakura Haruno blushed and gave Aogetsu a light punch in the stomach.

"You don't have much Chakra, so you can't sustain techniques that consume a lot of it," Aogetsu Hyuga said. "That makes your fists your best weapons."

"I don't have much?" Sakura Haruno asked.

Aogetsu Hyuga unwrapped a Lollipop and popped it into his mouth. "Pitifully little. Even less than you have up top. Does that make it clear?"

"I get it, but could you put it another way?" Sakura Haruno snapped.

Even less than I have up top?

Come to think of it, I guess my Chakra reserves really are pretty small.

Ugh!

Why am I even thinking about that?

"Since you don't have much Chakra, you need to make your fists your weapons." Aogetsu Hyuga walked up to a large tree and tapped its trunk to check its hardness. "Try hitting it with everything you've got."

After a moment's hesitation, Sakura Haruno clenched her fair-skinned fist and drove it into the thick trunk.

Bang! The trunk shuddered slightly, and a few leaves drifted down.

"Ow, that hurts!" Sakura Haruno dropped to her knees, clutching the bones of her fractured hand. Tears filled her eyes as she gasped through the pain.

Aogetsu Hyuga nodded as though it were obvious. "Right? Of course it hurts. That tree's pretty hard."

A New World with Rin

"You pervert!" Sakura Haruno raised her tear-streaked face and glared at Aogetsu. "You told me to hit it with everything I had, and now you say that like it's obvious!"

What's wrong with Aogetsu-sensei?

He tells me to punch a tree as hard as I can, then casually says it's hard.

Pervert teacher!

"I taught you to direct Chakra to the soles of your feet, remember? Try directing it to your fist, then hit the tree as hard as you can again." As Aogetsu Hyuga spoke, pale green Chakra appeared in his palm. He took Sakura Haruno's swollen hand.

The swelling vanished. Sakura Haruno's hand was as good as new, though the piercing pain still lingered.

Sakura Haruno stared at her healed hand in surprise. "Aogetsu-sensei, you know Medical Ninjutsu too?"

Aogetsu Hyuga lifted his chin proudly. "Of course. I can do everything."

"So swing away without worrying. Even if your whole arm breaks, I can reattach it easily."

"Don't make it sound so terrifying!" Sakura Haruno gave him a look that said she wouldn't fall for it again. "There's no way I'm hitting that tree again!"

She had just felt that piercing pain. How could she possibly punch the tree again?

What does he take me for, an idiot?

"Don't be so scared. It might hurt a little at first, but you'll feel great once you get used to it." Aogetsu Hyuga patted Sakura Haruno on the backside. "Go on."

"Could you stop saying it like that? And where do you think you're touching, you pervert teacher?" Sakura Haruno slapped Aogetsu's hand away and retreated several steps. She covered her backside and watched him with an embarrassed, angry, wary look.

"Honestly, what a troublesome brat." Aogetsu Hyuga sighed and slowly raised a finger. "This is a finger."

"I know," Sakura Haruno said flatly.

"Concentrating Chakra in your finger can produce some interesting results." Aogetsu Hyuga placed his finger against the trunk. "For example..."

He paused.

Bang! Aogetsu Hyuga flicked his finger. The entire tree shook violently, then tore free of the ground, roots and all. It sailed through the Sky Manipulation before crashing to the ground far away.

Aogetsu Hyuga shaded his eyes and gazed at the distant tree. "It didn't even crack. That really is a hard tree."

He hadn't used much force, but it should still have been enough to blast the whole tree to dust.

Instead, the tree had flown away intact. That alone proved how tough it was.

It was easy to imagine how much that punch had hurt the little brat.

No wonder Sakura Haruno was so reluctant.

"That's amazing!" Sakura Haruno stared at the distant tree lying on the ground, then turned to Aogetsu Hyuga with open admiration.

Just one finger!

He sent a whole tree flying with a flick. How terrifyingly strong is he?

If he flicked a person that hard, he could kill them without breaking a sweat!

A forehead flick?

More like a death sentence.

"Once you master Chakra control, you should be able to do that too." Aogetsu Hyuga brushed the dust from his hands and smiled faintly. "Give it a try. Concentrate Chakra in your fist and imagine... a layer of armor around it."

"Okay. I'll try." Sakura Haruno walked up to another large tree and slowly closed her eyes. Remembering the pain from before, she swallowed nervously.

I'm a little scared.

"Don't be afraid. Focus on feeling your Chakra," Aogetsu Hyuga reminded her.

"Right." Sakura Haruno took a deep breath and focused on the flow of Chakra, guiding it into her hand. Then she snapped her eyes open and struck the trunk with all her strength.

Bang! The trunk shook violently, sending a few leaves drifting down.

"It didn't hurt nearly as much, and... my punch was a lot stronger." Sakura Haruno looked at her slightly reddened fist. She felt only a faint ache, and delight appeared in her eyes.

Wow!

So this is Chakra control?

I never knew there were so many ways to use Chakra.

Shape Transformation, Nature Transformation, and Chakra control.

This is advanced stuff we never learned at the Ninja Academy!

"So I can get stronger too!" Sakura Haruno jumped for joy. "Yes!"

She had been worried that, without learning techniques like the Rasengan and Chidori, she would fall far behind Naruto and Sasuke.

Her Chakra reserves were small, but there was another way for her to grow stronger!

She was thrilled.

"This brat... She really does have talent." Aogetsu Hyuga sucked on his Lollipop and watched Sakura Haruno celebrate.

When it came to Chakra control, she was far ahead of Naruto and Sasuke—even ahead of many Ninja in the village!

Chakra Enhanced Strength was difficult to learn; otherwise, Ninja who used it would be everywhere. It required the user to control Chakra with extraordinary precision at the instant a punch landed. That was the hardest part.

Taking too long to charge up before throwing a punch was pointless.

At present, only two people in the entire Ninja World could use Chakra Enhanced Strength: Aogetsu Hyuga and Tsunade.

Because Chakra Enhanced Strength really was that difficult.

Of course.

Tsunade hadn't taught Aogetsu. He had secretly learned it on his own.

"Thank you for teaching me, Aogetsu-sensei," Sakura Haruno said gratefully.

"Taking too long to build up power is pointless. Work toward concentrating your Chakra instantly." Aogetsu Hyuga glanced at Sasuke and Naruto, who were struggling with their training in the distance, and deliberately raised his voice. "If you can knock down that tree with one punch within five days, I can put you forward for the Chunin Ninja Exams."
