It will take three more days for the upgrade of the system, depending on the situation, it will be completed before Zabuza's next attack.
Naruto was looking forward to the upgraded functions of the System, and he didn't know what new tricks there would be!
......….
Sasuke, who was sweating profusely, sat on the ground tired and punched hard.
"Why even Sakura has learned it, but I haven't learned it yet!? Why! Am I not even as good as Sakura?"
Sasuke cursed himself in his heart.
At the same time, he vented his dissatisfaction with a punch for such a useless self.
"Oh, it seems that Sakura has the best Chakra control."
Kakashi walked over with a cane and looked at the Sakura sitting on the tree in surprise.
'Not bad, although not as good as Naruto and Sasuke, she seems to have a good way to go.'
Kakashi, who was a Jōnin, naturally saw at a glance what kind of practice Sakura was suitable for and which direction she could develop, but there was no need to worry at the time.
"On the other hand, Sasuke, is this the degree that a Uchiha Clan genius can achieve?"
"Hmph! You don't need to tell me, I know it too!"
Sasuke stood up again and launched a new round of determination toward the trunk.
As the last member of the Uchiha clan, he must not be looked down upon by others!
"Go Sasuke~"
Sakura shouted.
...
"Hmph, no matter what you do, it's useless."
A child wearing a hat looked at the few people practicing in the forest and turned away with disdain.
"Outsiders, how could they know the horror of Gato?"
"Father…"
...
An hour later, Sasuke failed again. Although the height he reached increased again, he could not maintain a stable stand and would fall at any time.
"Aahh... bastard! Why is it still not working!"
Sasuke panted and looked up at his surroundings while venting his emotions.
At this time, there was no one else in the woods except him, except for the rustling of leaves being blown by the wind, it was extremely quiet,
Sakura had been taken by Kakashi to practice water treading.
As for Naruto, he had been gone since Kakashi came back before, he didn't know where he went to laze around.
"However, that guy is also qualified to be lazy."
Sasuke was now low on Chakra, exhausted, and in need of a rest, Sasuke turned and walked towards Tazuna's house.
"Naruto?"
When Sasuke returned to Tazuna's residence, he saw Naruto fishing outside.
"This guy!"
Seeing that Naruto was so relaxed while he was working so hard, Sasuke couldn't help becoming angry, and when he was about to continue walking, his footsteps stopped involuntarily, and he remembered what Naruto had said to him.
"If you feel ashamed to lose to me, then try to win back next time."
"Sasuke, your desire for revenge is still not strong enough. You can't let go of anything, so you don't have the qualifications to become stronger."
"Don't look directly at your fears, and you'll always stay where you are."
...
Being defeated by Naruto again and again, and then improving again and again, whenever Sasuke thought he was about to surpass Naruto, Naruto would always be able to come up with something new to defeat him again.
In Sasuke's eyes, this very lazy guy, who had poor theoretical grades, but was as lonely as him, had become a mountain that he needed to look up to in his heart.
In the years of ninja school, Sasuke could be said to be beaten by Naruto, as if forced to participate in a "Metamorphosis", and his character had been greatly improved.
Although still cold, not as bad as before.
"Naruto is my fear. If I can't even look him in the eye, will I still have the courage to fight against that man?"
Sasuke walked towards Naruto.
"Naruto."
"What's wrong? Did you finish your training?"
Naruto didn't look back and continued to stare at the water with his chin propped up.
"No, I came here to ask you, how can you fully master tree walking?"
Sasuke sat next to Naruto and asked.
"What advantages do you think you have over Sakura?"
"Advantages? I have more Chakra, have mastered several ninjutsus, and my physical skills are better than hers. In terms of learning, we are on par."
Sasuke thought carefully.
"Yeah, obviously you have so many advantages over Sakura, but she learned to climb trees faster than you, why is that?"
"why?"
"Because she has no one who she wants to kill right away so she is calmer when practicing."
Naruto explained.
"And what about you? What were you thinking about when you were practicing? You were thinking that you should learn such a simple thing right away, and then practice more powerful ninjutsu."
"You're in too much of a hurry, Sasuke."
"I'm in a hurry..."
Sasuke recalled how he was when he practiced, and he was only angry, and he never settled down to feel the subtle changes of Chakra carefully.
"So, my failure is a matter of course."
Sasuke laughed to himself.
"Sasuke, look at the surface of the water, does it resemble your mood?"
Naruto dropped a pebble, and ripples appeared on the surface of the water.
"If you calm down and feel the changes in Chakra carefully, then you can stand on the water."
"Be like water. Water is good at nourishing all things and not competing with all things. If you keep your mind relaxed, it will work well. When your mind is peaceful, it may also help you use your skills effectively and take advantage of chances."
"That way, no matter what situation you're in in the future, you'll be able to face it calmly."
Naruto was like a philosopher at the moment, and Sasuke who was listening to his words was sitting there, lost in thought, motionless.
