Each of Their Progress

After that day, Naruto's training content underwent some subtle changes.

Besides the main body still undergoing high-intensity Taijutsu training, all the Shadow Clones went to work as landscape gardeners.

Thus, the wildly growing plants in this forest welcomed their first artificial intervention.

Many messy branches were neatly cut from the trees without using any tools.

All of this was done by Naruto's Shadow Clones using the sharp Wind Release Chakra produced after nature transformation.

At first, Naruto's instantaneous output of Wind Release Chakra was insufficient, and he often couldn't cut off the branches of the trees in one go.

But as time passed, Naruto could cut them off in one go.

After achieving this, Naruto began to perform subtle control, striving to be able to judge the Chakra required for cutting at a glance, without wasting a single bit.

In a life-and-death battle with a strong enemy, perhaps this saved bit of Chakra would become the last straw that breaks the balance of victory.

This is the meaning of precisely controlling every bit of Chakra.

This high-intensity training was very tiring. Every time he dispelled the Shadow Clones, it was a disaster for Naruto, forcing him to enter the Learning Space to AFK and digest the returned memories.

But undoubtedly, the results he received were also gratifying, and his Chakra control ability was improving at an astonishing rate.

In one year, Naruto completely repaired the large forest that he used as a training ground.

Also during this time, Naruto went from being completely focused on controlling a tiny bit of airflow between his fingers and palms to being able to stir up a whirlwind of flying sand and rocks around him with just a thought.

According to the rating standard, it must be at least a level five wind force.

If he continued at this pace, it wouldn't be long before he could completely ride the wind and soar straight up to the heavens.

It was also at this time that Naruto's training entered the second stage.

A team of fifty Shadow Clones was sent by Naruto to a waterfall not far from his training ground to perform high-end Chakra nature transformation training to cut open the waterfall and stop its flow.

And another team of fifty people began to do carving work.

Those branches that Naruto cut down were not wasted, and now they have all become Naruto's practice materials.

Sections of branches were cut off, and then Naruto began to use these materials to carve them into the shapes he wanted to carve.

And currently, the target for practice is of course himself.

Naruto's goal is to use his precisely controlled Wind Release Chakra as a carving knife to carve a scaled-down statue of himself, which is a highly difficult technical task.

To this end, Naruto also specifically studied carving-related knowledge in the Learning Space.

And the initial practice results were naturally very unsuccessful, creating piles and piles of unbearable garbage.

And this garbage was not wasted either, it became Sasuke's practice material, who was training with Naruto. After a year of training, Sasuke's strength has also improved a lot, and he has long since upgraded from abusing leaves to abusing trees.

These scraps left over from Naruto's practice were just right for him to practice his Lightning Fire Chakra nature transformation.

Then, after a day of cultivation, Naruto obtained a lot of high-quality charcoal.

Some of it was used by Naruto to cook, and more of it was sold as a commodity.

Although Naruto's face would be rejected if he went to sell things, and even if someone accepted it, they would probably rip him off on the price, but fortunately, there was Sasuke, the second young master of the Uchiha family, which saved him from this trouble.

This also gave Naruto an extra income, completely solving his food funding gap.

After this, even though Naruto's appetite increased due to the high-intensity training.

And with Sasuke, who never practiced cooking and only opened his mouth to eat, Naruto never worried about food expenses again.

Occasionally, the two even had spare money to eat a high-class meal.

Naruto didn't feel hardship in this kind of life, only fulfillment. The competitive Sasuke never thought of giving up either; his goal from beginning to end was only to surpass Naruto.

Time passed quickly during training.

Before they knew it, it was almost dusk again.

"Naruto-kun, Sasuke-kun, good afternoon." A gentle voice sounded.

Then, Naruto saw a Byakugan girl in a white dress, carrying a lunch box, walking out of the forest with a gentle smile on her face.

"Hinata, good afternoon." Naruto greeted with a smile.

In the past year or so, the girl's hair had grown a lot, reaching shoulder length, which made her look much gentler and more beautiful.

In addition to the changes in appearance, the girl was also very hardworking in her cultivation.

Since learning that Naruto and Sasuke were both using Shadow Clones to attend classes, she had also specifically asked her father to learn the Shadow Clone technique, so that when the clone went to class, she would practice under her father's strict guidance.

She always remembered that winter day.

Naruto-kun, who appeared in front of her like a hero, rescued her from those three bad kids, and his expectations for her.

He hoped that she could become a strong person.

So after that, she had been working hard to cultivate, to become a strong person as he expected.

And after meeting Naruto-kun at the Ninja Academy, he could also appreciate the charm shown on her confident and strong self.

Little Lord, there are more chapters behind this one, please click on the next page to continue reading, the following is even more exciting!

This is the driving force behind Hinata's constant progress.

"Good afternoon."

Sasuke barely greeted Hinata after she approached.

Although they had met frequently since meeting at the Ninja Academy over the past year, he still didn't have a good impression of Hinata, the young lady from the main family of a rival clan.

"I brought Bonito Rice Balls and Ichiraku Ramen, let's eat together." Hinata didn't mind Sasuke's slightly cold attitude, smiled gently, opened the lunch box she brought, and placed it on the stone table.

Then, she took out the Bonito Rice Balls and Tomato Miso Soup that Sasuke liked to eat, and the Ichiraku Ramen that Naruto loved to eat.

Seeing this, Naruto and Sasuke were not polite, picked up the food and started eating.

During the past year or so, after finishing a day of study and cultivation, Hinata would come to this training ground to see Naruto every now and then. Most of the time, they would chat, and occasionally she would bring some food like this time.

Because they were already very familiar with each other, there was no need to be polite, that would only make them feel estranged.

Hinata still had to go home and have dinner with her family later, so she quietly watched the two eat.

"Naruto-kun, do you still remember my younger sister Hanabi? She has grown up a lot now, small and very cute." Seeing Naruto finished eating, Hinata smiled and gestured.

"Of course I remember, Hanabi must be two years old now, right?" Naruto naturally took over the conversation and chatted with Hinata.

Sasuke, who was beside them, felt a bit superfluous.

After quickly finishing his meal and letting out a cold snort, he went to the side to continue his training.

"You go ahead and waste your time on girls, while I will seize these opportunities to gradually surpass you, Naruto!"

Thinking this, Sasuke's movements in making charcoal became even more vigorous!
