Naruto was most looking forward to Wood Release.
Sasuke, on the other hand, wanted to witness Madara Uchiha's use of Fire Release and Sharingan.
Hashirama stopped in the middle of the vegetable garden.
Naruto immediately straightened his back.
" Uncle First, would you like to teach me Hand Seals first?"
Sasuke also stared at Madara.
Ban ignored their expectations and simply pointed to the vegetable garden.
"Do you see those ripe vegetables?"
Naruto nodded.
"I saw it."
"Take them all off."
Naruto was stunned.
"What?"
Ban then pointed to the basket next to the vegetable garden.
"Pick them and then put them in baskets."
"Move it back into the cold storage."
Sasuke frowned.
"Is this also a form of spiritual practice?"
Hashirama coughed lightly.
"Certainly."
"The foundation of a ninja is not just Ninjutsu."
"Physical strength, endurance, and efficiency are all important."
Naruto immediately understood after hearing this.
"I see!"
"This is a test of endurance!"
Hashirama nodded.
"Almost."
Sasuke still had some doubts.
"Just picking vegetables?"
Ban looked at him coldly.
"Who just said they could keep up with any arrangement?"
Sasuke immediately put away his questions.
I didn't say I wouldn't do it.
He walked to the basket, bent down, and picked one up.
Seeing this, Naruto quickly snatched the other two.
I'll definitely pick them faster than you!
Sasuke has already headed towards the vegetable garden.
"Idiot."
Naruto rushed in as well.
The two of them started picking, one on each side.
Cucumbers, tomatoes, and other ripe vegetables were gradually placed into the basket.
Naruto was quick, but he often picked unripe vegetables as well.
Hashirama quickly reminded him.
Only pick the ripe ones.
Don't pick the smaller ones too.
Naruto, holding a cucumber that hadn't fully grown, froze in his tracks.
Doesn't this one count?
"It won't grow back even if you put it back."
The cucumber Hashirama.
"Look carefully next time."
On the other hand, Sasuke, though slightly slower, rarely made mistakes.
He quickly filled the first basket, picked it up, and headed towards the cold storage.
Naruto panicked immediately upon seeing this.
"Wait for me!"
He pressed down the vegetables in the basket, picked up the full basket, and chased after it.
The two of them were soon working up a sweat.
Hashirama stood by the vegetable garden for a while, feeling a little guilty.
"Spot."
"Aren't we being too perfunctory?"
Ban found a clean spot to sit down.
"Where is the perfunctory attitude?"
"They came here to cultivate."
They lowered their voices Hashirama.
"The first thing they did was help us pick vegetables."
"How about we teach some basics first?"
Leaning against the wooden railing.
"The vegetable garden is so big, how long would it take the two of us to finish keeping it busy?"
"You're still not satisfied with someone doing the work for free?"
Hashirama glanced at Naruto and Sasuke, who were engrossed in carrying vegetables.
"But they paid tuition."
That's why we need to work even harder.
Ban made it sound perfectly reasonable.
"If you give up halfway, you won't get a refund."
Hashirama froze for a few seconds.
"Ban, you're starting to look more and more like the boss lately."
Ban closed his eyes.
"Stop talking nonsense."
"It's rare to find someone to do the work for us."
"Rest assured."
Hashirama, then sat down beside him.
The work in the vegetable garden was originally his and Ban's responsibility.
With Naruto and Sasuke on all the responsibilities, things will definitely be much easier for them today.
"Then let's observe their stamina first."
Hashirama gave himself an excuse.
The spot wasn't exposed.
The two leaned against the wooden railing, watching Naruto and Sasuke carry things back and forth, becoming more and more satisfied with what they saw.
Inside the office, Zhang Yu could see this scene clearly through the screen.
Especially the phrase "free work," not a single word was omitted.
"Those two guys."
"They collected tuition fees and then made students help them pick vegetables."
Zhang Yu smiled and shook his head.
However, he did not intervene.
Picking and carrying can indeed be physically demanding.
Naruto and Sasuke were willing to treat it as endurance training, so it wasn't entirely a waste of time.
He glanced at the time and sent a message in the chat group.
Zhang Yu: "White."
Yu: "Bring Sakura to the office."
Not long after, there was a knock on the door.
" Boss Zhang Yu."
"We're here."
"Come in."
Bai pushed open the door.
Sakura followed behind him, her face full of anticipation.
" Boss Zhang Yu, what do we need to learn?"
Zhang Yu got up from his chair.
" Advanced Chakra Precision Method."
Sakura's breathing quickened when she heard the name.
" Advanced Control Method?"
"Right."
Zhang Yu said, "After completing the basic training, your control over Chakra will improve significantly."
"Strength, speed, and Ninjutsu skills will all be enhanced."
Sakura immediately stood up straight.
"I'm ready!"
Bai was also somewhat curious.
He had followed Zhang Yu for so long and had never heard of this kind of training method before.
Zhang Yu led the two to the small grove in the backyard.
There are several large training rocks in the forest.
He stopped in front of the largest piece.
"Let's see the results first."
Sakura and Haku both stepped back a few paces.
Zhang Yu raised his right hand.
Chakra concentrated in his fist, and then he threw a punch.
boom!
The boulder exploded in the middle.
The cracks spread instantly across the entire stone.
The next second, the boulder, several meters tall, shattered into dozens of pieces, scattering across the ground.
The ground also caved in.
Sakura stood frozen in place.
She stared at the rubble on the ground, unable to utter a word for a long time.
Bai also looked down at the pit.
He knew Zhang Yu was very strong.
Even such a casual punch made his heart tighten.
Sakura walked to the pebbles, picked one up and looked at it.
The cross-section is full of cracks.
This wasn't created by brute force.
Instead, he shattered the entire boulder with a single punch.
"Is this what precise Chakra control is?"
"That's right."
Zhang Yu withdrew his hand.
"Concentrate your Chakra at a single point, then release it upon contact with the target."
"With enough precision, the body itself can become a weapon."
Sakura suddenly turned around.
"I want to learn!"
"Please teach me right now!"
She could already imagine what she would be like after mastering this power.
In the future, when she encounters enemies, she won't need to hide behind Naruto and Sasuke.
With just one punch, an ordinary ninja simply couldn't withstand it.
Zhang Yu nodded.
"Can."
"But before learning Superhuman Strength, you must first complete the basic advanced course on precise force control."
Sakura asked earnestly, "How do I practice?"
Zhang Yu walked to a deck chair by the edge of the woods and sat down.
"Finger massage."
Sakura paused for a moment.
Bai also looked at Zhang Yu.
"Massage?"
"Right."
Zhang Yu explained in a very serious manner.
"Concentrate your Chakra at your fingertips, then control your strength."
"Too light, it won't have any effect."
"Too heavy, it will hurt the target."
"Only by maintaining a stable strength in each finger can you develop true precision control."
After listening, Sakura immediately felt that it made a lot of sense.
The Superhuman Strength requires the release of Chakra the moment it makes contact with the target.
Massage also requires fingers to touch the body and to adjust the pressure as needed.
Both truly test one's self-control.
"I see."
Sakura rolled up her sleeves.
Where to begin?
Zhang Yu leaned back in the recliner.
"Work on your shoulders first."
Sakura walked behind him and placed her hands on his shoulders.
She didn't control the force well when she injected Chakra for the first time.
Zhang Yu's shoulders slumped down.
"Too heavy."
Sakura quickly stopped.
"Feel sorry."
"Again."
