Konoha: Taking Over Team 7 with Tenseigan at the Start Chapter 30

Sasuke Uchiha threw his balloon, turned his head away, shoved his hands into his pockets, flushed slightly, and let out a cold huff. Hmph, boring.

He had just thought it would be easy, but he never expected it to be so difficult!

"Sasuke, it's already great that you can release chakra," Aogetsu Hyuga praised Sasuke, then calmly looked down at Naruto Uzumaki and said, "As for you... you're pretty stupid."

Praising one while stepping on the other worked remarkably well, especially on Naruto and Sasuke.

Naruto Uzumaki gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, how dare you look down on me? One day, I'll pop this balloon in a single day!"

How could he lose to Sasuke!

Watch me pop this balloon in one day!

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

"What good method?" Naruto Uzumaki asked in confusion.

Aogetsu Hyuga said, "Practicing with Shadow Clones at the same time might have miraculous results."

"Shadow Clone...?" While Naruto Uzumaki was stunned.

"Go play over there." Aogetsu Hyuga picked up Naruto and tossed him toward the grassy field in the distance.

"Ahhh—idiot!" Before Naruto Uzumaki could react, he was sent flying while clutching the balloon, then landed heavily on the grass.

"...Damn it, I'll teach you a lesson once I get stronger!" Naruto Uzumaki climbed to his feet, patted the dust off his clothes, and recalled what Cangyue had just said.

Practicing with Shadow Clones would have miraculous results.

"Oh, I get it. As expected of Teacher Cangyue!" Naruto Uzumaki realized with a start, then crossed his fingers and formed hand seals.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"

Bang. Pale white smoke covered the entire area, and dozens of Shadow Clones walked out of the smoke.

"You understand quickly. A fool with a natural wit," Aogetsu Hyuga curved the corners of his mouth slightly, a flash of approval in his eyes.

Naruto Uzumaki held his head with both hands, grinning as he looked at the dozens of Shadow Clones, and said, "You guys work hard on your training. I'm going over there to sleep for a bit. Remember to call me after you pop the balloon."

"I can slack off while my Shadow Clones train. As expected of Teacher Cangyue, to be able to come up with such a great method." Naruto Uzumaki turned around and left with a grin.

"Idiot, you stop right there! Shouldn't I be the one resting? You guys better work hard on your training!"

"Hey, I've already worked hard all day! I'm the one who deserves a good rest!"

"You bastard, how dare you hit me!"

"I'm going to kill you!"

"Damn it... I want to eat ramen!"

"Who cares about you? I want to eat it too!"

The dozens of Shadow Clones fell into a chaotic melee, and in the end, all the Shadow Clones vanished, leaving behind a battered Naruto Uzumaki.

Aogetsu Hyuga covered his mouth and chuckled. Beating himself up... pfft... pretty funny.

A fool with a natural wit?

Wrong!

The Nine-Tails brat was truly a fool!

Aogetsu Hyuga turned to look at Sasuke Uchiha and said, "As for you, since you can release a small amount of chakra now, try infusing the Lightning Nature into your chakra."

"Use the feeling of using Fire Release."

"Yeah, I know." Sasuke Uchiha turned and walked into the distance, sitting on the ground with his back against a tree trunk. Pale blue chakra emerged from his palms, and he tried to infuse the nature into the chakra, but no matter how he tried, he couldn't succeed.

The feeling of Fire Release...

Sakura Haruno tugged at Cangyue's hem, pointed at herself with her finger, and asked with an expectant look, "Teacher Cangyue, what about me? What am I suited for?"

Aogetsu Hyuga looked at Sakura Haruno seriously and said, "You're suited for hand-to-hand combat."

"..." Sakura Haruno wore an expression that said are you kidding me, staring at Aogetsu Hyuga speechlessly.

Hand-to-hand combat?

Are you kidding me!

She was a girl!

"You're suited for hand-to-hand combat," Aogetsu Hyuga repeated.

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

Sakura Haruno let out a delicate huff and said, "Teacher Cangyue, can you stop messing around? We have a decisive battle against that rogue ninja in five days, you know? If you send me up for hand-to-hand combat, you're just sending me to my death!"

The person they had a decisive battle against in five days was none other than that notorious A-rank rogue ninja, the Demon of Kirigakure, Zabuza Momochi.

And she was going to punch a Jonin with her fists?

What was the difference between this and courting death?!

Aogetsu Hyuga touched his chin, feigning a very surprised attitude, and said, "It's strange, really. Clearly, I'm much stronger, yet you had the courage to punch me with your fists. How is it that you don't have the courage to hit the trash I wiped out in a second?"

"That's completely different!" Sakura Haruno's pretty face flushed slightly as she lightly pounded Cangyue's abdomen with her fist.

Aogetsu Hyuga said, "Your chakra volume is very small, and you can't sustain high-consumption moves. That's why your fists are your best weapons."

"Very small?" Sakura Haruno asked in confusion.

Aogetsu Hyuga produced a lollipop, unwrapped it, popped it into his mouth, and sucked on it lightly as he said, "Pitifully small. Even more pitiful than your breasts. You can understand that much, right?"

Sakura Haruno angrily retorted, "I understand, but can you use a different way of phrasing it?!"

More pitiful than her small breasts?

Looking at it this way, her chakra volume really did seem quite small.

Ptu!

What on earth was she thinking?!

"Because your chakra volume is small, you have to use your fists as weapons." Aogetsu Hyuga turned and walked up to a large tree, tapped the hardness of the trunk, and said, "Try hitting it with all your might."

After a moment of hesitation, Sakura Haruno clenched her fair, delicate little fist and struck hard at the thick tree trunk.

Bang. The tree trunk trembled slightly, and a few leaves fluttered down.

"Hiss, so painful—!" Sakura Haruno sank to her knees on the ground, her eyes welling up with tears in a distorted expression as she cradled her fractured hand bones and sucked in sharp breaths of cold air.

Aogetsu Hyuga nodded slightly and said as a matter of course, "See? It's right to hurt. After all, this tree is very hard."

Chapter 46 Obito: I Will Create a World with Rin!

"Pervert!" Sakura Haruno lifted her tear-stained face and glared angrily at Cangyue. "Clearly you were the one who told me to hit it with all my might, and yet you say it so casually!"

Was Teacher Cangyue alright in the head?

After making her punch a tree with all her might, he calmly stated that the tree was very hard.

Perverted teacher!

"Didn't I teach you before to let your chakra flow to the soles of your feet? Try letting your chakra flow to your fists, and then hit it with all your might." While speaking, pale cyan chakra emerged from Aogetsu Hyuga's palm, and he grabbed Sakura Haruno's swollen, red hand.

The swelling and redness on Sakura Haruno's hand vanished, and it returned to complete health, but the piercing pain still lingered.

Looking at her completely healed hand, Sakura Haruno said in utter astonishment, "Teacher Cangyue, you actually know Medical Ninjutsu too."

Aogetsu Hyuga lifted his chin slightly and said proudly, "Of course. I am omnipotent."

"So you can throw your punches with absolute peace of mind. Even if your entire arm breaks off, I can easily reattach it for you."

"Don't make it sound so terrifying," Sakura Haruno said with a look that said don't even think about tricking me again, "I am never hitting that tree again!"

She had just experienced piercing pain; how could she possibly throw another punch at that tree!

Who did he take her for, a fool?

"Don't be so scared. It might hurt a bit at first, but it will feel quite comfortable once you get used to it." Aogetsu Hyuga patted Sakura Haruno's bottom and said, "Go on."

"Please don't use such a weird phrasing, and where are you patting, you perverted teacher!" Sakura Haruno swatted Cangyue's hand away, backed up several steps in shyness, and glared at Cangyue with a mix of embarrassment, anger, and vigilance while shielding her backside.

"Sigh, what a troublesome little brat." Aogetsu Hyuga sighed softly, slowly raised a single finger, and said, "This is one finger."

"I know." Sakura Haruno said speechlessly.

"Condensing chakra into your finger has a very interesting and miraculous effect." Aogetsu Hyuga pressed his finger against the surface of the tree trunk. "For instance..."

His words paused slightly.

Bang. Aogetsu Hyuga flicked his finger, and the entire massive tree vibrated violently, finally being uprooted along with its roots. It flew rapidly through the air, soared a great distance, and then landed heavily on the ground.

Aogetsu Hyuga placed a hand above his eyes, looked at the tree that had flown far away, and sighed, "It didn't even crack. It really is quite hard."

Even though he hadn't used much strength just now, the force was still enough to blast an entire tree into ashes.

Yet the tree hadn't turned to ashes; instead, it had flown off in one piece, which was proof enough that this large tree was exceptionally sturdy.

From that, she could imagine just how painful the flat-chested brat's punch had been earlier.

No wonder Sakura Haruno was so resistant.

"So amazing!" Sakura Haruno stared in a daze at the tree in the distance that had landed on the ground, then looked at Aogetsu Hyuga with a face full of worship.

Just a single finger!

With a gentle flick, he sent a massive tree flying. This power was simply too terrifying!

If that kind of force were flicked against a person, it could easily flick them to death!

Was that a brain-popping skull-flick?

The fatal kind.

"Once you control chakra to the absolute limit, you should be able to reach this level as well." Aogetsu Hyuga dusted off his hands, smiled faintly, and said, "Give it a try. Condense chakra in your fist and imagine it as... wearing a layer of armor."

"Okay, I'll give it a try." Sakura Haruno walked over to another large tree, slowly closed her eyes, recalled the pain from earlier, and quietly swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

She was a little scared.

Aogetsu Hyuga reminded her, "Don't be afraid. Feel the chakra properly."

"Yes." Sakura Haruno took a deep breath, concentrated on sensing the flow of chakra, and then directed the chakra toward her palm. Finally, she snapped her eyes open and struck the tree trunk with a full-power attack.

Bang. The tree trunk shook violently, and a few leaves fluttered down.

"It actually doesn't hurt as much anymore, and... the strength is much greater than before." Sakura Haruno looked at her slightly reddened fist, felt the mild pain, and a trace of joy welled up in her eyes.

Oh my god!

So this was controlling chakra?

She never expected chakra to have so many ways of being used.

Shape transformation, nature transformation, and chakra control.

This was high-end knowledge she had never encountered before back at the Ninja Academy!

"That means I can get stronger too." Sakura Haruno hopped up and cheered, "Yay—!"

Just moments ago, she had been worried that she wouldn't be able to learn techniques like Rasengan and Chidori, and that Naruto and Sasuke would leave her far behind.

Even though her chakra volume was small, she could grow stronger through a different path!

She was overjoyed.

This brat... really does have talent. Aogetsu Hyuga sucked on his lollipop, calmly sizing up the cheering Sakura Haruno.

The flat-chested brat truly far surpassed Naruto and Sasuke in terms of chakra control, and even exceeded many ninja within the village!

Chakra Enhanced Strength was a very difficult ability to learn; otherwise, chakra-enhanced shinobi would be everywhere. It required one to refine chakra down to an extremely precise degree at the exact instant of punching, which was also the hardest part of Chakra Enhanced Strength.

Gathering power for too long before throwing a punch was completely meaningless.

Currently, the only people in the entire ninja world who knew Chakra Enhanced Strength were himself, Aogetsu Hyuga, and Tsunade.

Because Chakra Enhanced Strength was genuinely difficult.

Of course.

Tsunade hadn't taught Cangyue; Cangyue had secretly learned it by himself in the past.

Sakura Haruno said gratefully, "Teacher Cangyue, thank you for your guidance."

"Gathering power for too long is meaningless. Strive to condense your chakra instantaneously." Aogetsu Hyuga glanced at Sasuke and Naruto in the distance who were struggling with their training, raised his voice deliberately, and said, "If you can punch that tree apart within five days, I can help you apply for the Chunin Ninja Exams."
