Next to the bridge railing, Sakura was pestering Sasuke with a crazy look on her face, chattering non-stop, as if asking him whether he slept well last night or what he wanted to eat today.
Sasuke still had that cold and indifferent look on his face, with his hands in his pockets and looking into the distance, not even giving Sakura a glance.
Naruto: "…"
hateful!
It happens again!
Why does Sakura always hang around that annoying guy Sasuke? !
I'm obviously... I'm obviously better than him!
Besides... I'm going to learn some super powerful ninjutsu soon!
A sour jealousy welled up in Naruto's heart.
He curled his lips, snorted unhappily, and didn't even bother to say hello. He walked straight to the other end of the bridge, took out the rubber ball from his arms, took a deep breath, and began to practice rolling the balls.
Naruto placed the ball in the palm of his left hand and placed his right hand on it, trying hard to recall the teachings of his "father" in his dream.
He concentrated and held his breath, mobilizing the chakra in his body, trying to make them rotate at high speed in his palm.
"drink!!"
Naruto bared his teeth and used all his strength.
However, the concentration and rotation of chakra was much more difficult than he had imagined.
The chakra in his palm would gather a little and then instantly dissipate, making it impossible to form any effective rotational force.
The rubber ball in his hand was only slightly deformed by the chaotic chakra airflow and shook twice. Not to mention exploding, it was still a long way from the target.
"Damn it! What's going on?! It didn't feel that difficult in the dream!"
Naruto was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, but he didn't dare to relax at all.
He did not give up, but gritted his teeth and tried tirelessly again and again.
His strange behavior naturally attracted the attention of the two people next to him.
Sakura was originally entangled with Sasuke, but was soon attracted by Naruto's funny appearance of fighting wits with the air with a ferocious face.
Sasuke also turned his head slightly and glanced at the constantly deforming rubber ball in Naruto's hand, as well as the faint but real chakra fluctuations in his palm. A barely perceptible interest flashed in the depths of his dark pupils.
"This guy... is actually practicing the technique in his dream?" Sasuke thought to himself.
Although yesterday's dream was outrageous, the blue ball that the Fourth Hokage showed at the end was quite powerful, and it could easily break such a thick tree...
Sasuke recalled the last scene of the dream, and couldn't help but feel a little curious about the technique that Naruto was trying.
"If... this last-place guy can really learn that technique from a dream... then doesn't that mean..."
A thought arose in Sasuke's mind.
In order to defeat that person and to get revenge, he must make himself stronger at all costs!
He will not miss any opportunity to improve his strength.
Thinking of this, Sasuke no longer hesitated.
He quietly moved to Naruto who was concentrating on playing with the ball, and glanced at the ball in Naruto's hand pretending to be nonchalant, and asked in a calm tone but unable to hide the stiffness:
"Hey, tail, what are you doing?"
Sasuke tried his best to act as if he didn't care, but his burning eyes had already revealed his inner exploration and desire.
Naruto, who was trying hard to make meatballs, was startled by Sasuke's sudden words, and the chakra in his hands dissipated instantly.
He turned his head suddenly and found that Sasuke was staring at the ball in his hand with a strange look, and alarm bells rang in his heart.
"What's wrong with Sasuke today? Why is he so close?! And he's staring at my ball? Is he trying to learn from me?"
When Naruto thought of this possibility, he suddenly became anxious.
This is the secret that "Dad" personally taught him in a dream!
It is his secret weapon to defeat Sasuke, take down Sakura, and become Hokage in the future.
How could a nasty guy like Sasuke secretly learn it? !
"snort!"
Naruto turned around suddenly and immediately put his left hand holding the ball behind his back. At the same time, he turned his back to Sasuke and put on a defensive posture as if to say "don't show it to me".
"You want to steal the secrets that my father taught me? No way! Not even a crack in the window! When I learn it, I will definitely beat you down in front of Sakura! Let you know who is the real strongest in Team 7!"
Thinking angrily, Naruto practiced even harder.
His face flushed, and he concentrated his chakra again, rubbing the ball in his hand vigorously.
Sasuke: "…"
Looking at Naruto's anti-thief behavior, the veins on Sasuke's forehead couldn't help but twitch a few times.
Just then, Sakura came over.
She looked at the battered ball in Naruto's hand curiously and asked with concern, "Hey, Naruto, what new ninjutsu are you practicing? It looks like it's taking a lot of effort."
When he heard Sakura's voice, the vigilance on Naruto's face instantly disappeared, and he smiled smugly.
He immediately turned around, held the ball in front of Sakura like a treasure, puffed out his chest, and proudly announced:
"Hehe! That's right! This is a super-powerful ninjutsu! When I master it, you will definitely look at me with new eyes!"
Sasuke was so angry that he rolled his eyes and almost couldn't help but give each of the two idiots a fireball.
However, Sakura really aroused Naruto's curiosity.
She stared at the ordinary rubber ball in Naruto's hand, blinked, and asked curiously: "Oh? Really? Then...what is the name of this ninjutsu? It seems very powerful."
"Name?" Naruto was stunned by the question. He scratched his messy blond hair and tried to recall the name that "father" seemed to have mentioned in his dream yesterday... What was it? It seemed... quite long and difficult to pronounce...
He held it in for a long time, and finally... seemed to... grasp a vague impression.
He answered uncertainly, "Uh...it seems...it seems to be called something...two white-haired balls of popsicles or something?"
Sakura: "…"
Sasuke: "…"
They both looked at each other as if they were fools.
Sakura held her forehead in her hand and complained speechlessly: "Naruto, you are such an idiot, how can a ninjutsu have such a long and strange name? You must be daydreaming."
Sasuke was also frowning, and completely gave up the idea of getting any useful information out of this idiot.
"I actually believed it just now... I thought this loser could learn some powerful ninjutsu from a dream... I am really stupid." Sasuke secretly complained.
"It really is!"
Naruto felt extremely wronged and stamped his feet in anxiety.
"My father in my dream yesterday - ah, no, the one who taught me ninjutsu, he said this, although... uh, I can't remember it clearly..."
Sakura and Sasuke looked at each other and were too lazy to pay attention to him. Instead, they began to complain in unison about why Kakashi hadn't come yet.
"Kakashi-sensei, you're late again!"
"Humph, it's like this every time."
