A bag of beans, a pack of cigarettes, and a day of control by the Otsutsuki God

At this time, Sasuke was practicing at home. Since his trip to the Land of Waves, Sasuke began to push himself harder because he saw Naruto's outrageous strength and felt that he must catch up with Naruto no matter what, at least not as a member of the team. The one who's holding back.

When Naruto came to the door, Sasuke was practicing the fireball technique. After all, fire escape is the specialty of the Uchiha clan. In terms of practicing fire escape, the Uchiha clan basically gets twice the result with half the effort.

At this time, he had made great progress compared to before in terms of the speed of sealing and the power and size of the fireballs he spat out, but Sasuke still felt very dissatisfied.

He recalled that day, Kakashi and Zabuza were able to complete the 44 seals of the Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu so quickly that only afterimages were left. It only took them a few seconds to complete it. If he had that kind of speed, , the powerful fireball technique is almost instantaneous.

"Damn it, do you really have to practice for more than ten years?"

Driven by the desire for revenge, Sasuke no longer has much patience. He just wants to develop a skill before he reaches adulthood, and does not want to grind his days step by step and slowly become stronger.

He could only sleep 4 hours a day, or he could stay up all night practicing, just to gain strength quickly so he could avenge his entire clan.

Just thinking about Itachi being on the loose right now makes Sasuke feel like he's going crazy. The murderer who killed the entire clan is leisurely roaming around outside the village. However, he, the only one who can take revenge, is making slow progress. Even Kakashi doesn't know what level he is. Time can be reached, let alone revenge?

"Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn!" Sasuke once again began to force himself to speed up the seals. Even if he hadn't learned any powerful ninjutsu yet, he wanted to perfect his existing abilities as much as possible.

Unfortunately, the more impatient he was, the less likely he was to succeed. Not only did the seal formation speed not become faster this time, but he almost made a mistake and the seal formation speed became even slower.

The more this happens, the more anxious he becomes. In this case, when will he be able to take revenge?

From a pessimistic point of view, with his current progress, is there really any hope of revenge in this life?

Just when his emotions broke down, Naruto stood behind him and patted his shoulder: "Don't be too impatient, Sasuke."

"Naruto?" Sasuke thought he was being attacked at first and was startled. After he realized it was Naruto, he tried to calm down and put on a slightly softer expression.

No matter how anxious and angry he was, he knew that he shouldn't show his bad face to his friends.

"I cooked tomato egg soup and a box of rice balls. Let's eat something first." Naruto took out everything from the lunch box one by one. The egg soup in the jar was still steaming.

"I'm not in the mood, I can't eat much." Sasuke took several deep breaths, but he still felt that the stagnation in his heart was lingering.

"Naruto, can you tell me why you have become so strong in training?"

Sasuke thought about it again and again, and decided to ask Naruto for advice. As the former No. 1 in the ninja school, he asked for advice from a person who was once the tail end of the crane. This scene seemed a bit absurd, but Sasuke really had no good solution now.

Naruto's answer made him unbelievable: "Exercise well, have fun, eat well, rest well, and finally study well."

"It sounds like you're fooling a kid."

Naruto smiled and shook his head: "Sasuke, eating, sleeping, and resting are the most basic needs of a person. If a person cannot even meet the most basic needs of his body, then he is like a building with an unstable foundation. , the cover is not high.”

Seeing that Sasuke still couldn't agree, Naruto continued: "What do you think is the biggest obstacle to practice?"

"It's because I'm not strong enough. No matter how much I practice, I can't improve very much. Even the more I practice, the more I feel like I'm not making progress." Sasuke looked at his scarred palms and couldn't help but clenched his fists again.

Naruto stood up and said: "When learning martial arts, or practicing, the first thing you have to defeat is not the enemy, but yourself."

"If you lose yourself because of obsession, constantly force yourself, and can't even be calm, then you won't be able to truly become stronger."

"If you want to become stronger, you must not only have great power, but also keep up with your spirit. Chakra requires a mixture of physical energy and spiritual energy to be refined. Now you have tortured your body to the point of exhaustion and your spirit is also exhausted. Unbearable, how do you become stronger?”

These principles were taught to him by Teacher Kame Sennin when he was in the Dragon Ball world.

These principles seem simple, but Naruto spent most of his time in that world on this. After decades of training, and after reaching great perfection in both body and martial arts, he understood the true meaning of it. In the end, he learned the unique skill that only gods can master - the ultimate self-control skill.

After you empty your mind and make yourself completely calm, you can enter the state of ultimate freedom. After entering this state, the whole person becomes extremely calm. Even in the middle of a battle, there will be no confusion and you can have the calmest mind. For everything, whether it is attack or defense, being able to directly take the best action without thinking is the ultimate meaning of "freedom".

Once he enters the state of ultimate freedom, unless the opponent has overwhelming strength, he will not be able to cause any harm or threat to him.

Now, although his mind is still there, his body lacks training. Only when his body is trained to match his mind can he enter the state of Ultra Instinct in a coordinated manner. This is like an experienced old driver. Even if he changes his car to Santana, he can drive beautifully, but if he changes it to a rocking car, it will really not work.

He put his hand on Sasuke's shoulder and transferred part of his energy to Sasuke's body, gradually smoothing out his disordered energy due to his messy mood, making Sasuke's mood gradually relax and his heart gradually calm.

"It's amazing, I suddenly don't feel irritable." Sasuke was surprised to experience the calm feeling in his body.

"Sit down and eat a meal, eat a full meal, and then have a good rest."

Sasuke sat down with a calm mood and began to eat heartily. In the past month, he has been accustomed to Naruto's cooking skills, and Naruto has also figured out this kid's recipes. Basically, every time he brings food, he can bring it to his heart.

While eating, Naruto and Sasuke talked about what happened today and the Chunin Exam.

When he learned that the Chunin Exam was about to begin, Sasuke immediately said, "Do we need to think about it? We will definitely participate! And that Kankuro, he dared to be so arrogant standing on the street of our Konoha, and dared to fight with you. Don't move when the exam comes, I will beat him up."

Sasuke, who was in a relaxed mood, did not speak as coldly and coolly as usual, but instead had some liveliness and youthfulness that a boy of this age should have.

However, what Sasuke said was indeed what he really meant. This was because the Uchiha family was gone. Otherwise, with the convenience of the Uchiha family serving as Konoha's security work, Sasuke would have to take Kankuro back to the police station for endangering Konoha's security and let him stay there for a while, and by the way, taste the Uchiha family's special Uchiha Koji Donburi.

Chapter 40 Naruto, let's go!

After reaching a consensus, the two got up to find Kakashi and prepare to sign up for the Chunin Exam.

What the two did not expect was that Kakashi had known that they would come and had prepared three Chunin Exam registration forms in advance.

"Eh, why three?... Oh, I almost forgot that Sakura might also participate." Naruto slapped his head.

It was not that he ignored Sakura, but Naruto knew very well that Sakura was now a very standard excellent Genin level, and there was still a long way to go before she could become a Chunin. Moreover, the difficulty and danger of this exam would probably be far greater than the previous ones. With Sakura's current level, it would be very dangerous to participate in the competition.

Just like Kankuro and Gaara who had met before, these two did not hide their murderous intent. Naruto had no doubt that they would be ruthless in the official competition. Even if they did not kill their opponents, they would seriously injure or even cripple them.

"Teacher Kakashi, is it okay for Sakura to participate in the Chunin Exam?" Naruto was still a little worried.

"Don't worry, there will be teachers to supervise the exam, not to mention that you two are here, she will be fine."

After getting Kakashi's promise, Naruto was relieved.

In fact, the real reason is that the Chunin Exam must be taken in groups. If Sakura doesn't take part, Naruto and Sasuke can't take the exam alone.

An hour later, when Kakashi handed the registration form to Sakura, who had just finished her housework, the latter opened her mouth and exclaimed: "Ah???????"

"Teacher Kakashi, I have only been a Genin for 2 months, and I am going to take the Chunin Exam now???"

"Don't worry, I believe you can do it." Kakashi gave her a thumbs up.

"Does this feel like a decree..."

"I have discussed it with the Third Generation and we unanimously agreed to let you and Naruto and Sasuke take the Chunin Exam, so you can take it without worry."

".......Okay." Sakura felt a little uneasy.

In fact, her worries were unnecessary. Kakashi knew the strength of Naruto and Sasuke very well, and knew their personalities even better. Sakura herself was not a rookie, and her safety factor was actually higher than most people.

After the three filled in the information and submitted it, they began to wait for the Chunin Exam to begin, either nervously or excitedly.

There are still a few days before the first exam. Sakura is working hard to review ninjutsu knowledge at home, while Naruto and Sasuke are becoming obsessed with physical collisions.

The efficiency of one person's training is always not as good as that of two people practicing together, especially since Sasuke is now in a bottleneck period and wants to find a breakthrough but has no way to start. Naruto became Sasuke's sparring partner. For him, fighting is also a part of Qi training.

In fact, Sasuke's current strength is already quite good, but he is a little too demanding on himself, so he always sighs that his strength is insufficient.

He followed Naruto's method and had a full meal of Ichiraku Ramen with Naruto at night, then slept until he woke up naturally, and after breakfast, he trained himself with the most peaceful mentality possible.

The effect surprised him. The speed of seal-making, which he could not break through yesterday, improved without much effort today. Not only that, the seal-making became more natural and more muscle memory, without the need to deliberately recall every seal.

"You have actually trained to this level a long time ago, but you didn't rest well and your mentality was not right, so you couldn't bring out your true strength." Naruto explained beside him.

When practicing martial arts, the first thing to do is to bring out 100% of your strength. If you can't even bring out your original strength, there is no need to think about going to the next level.

"Through fighting to strengthen the body, and through practice to strengthen the heart. When these two are strengthened, the chakra refined from physical energy and mental energy will also be strengthened. If the three are performed at the same time, the strength will increase very quickly."

Naruto himself is using this method to practice, and he masters the power of Qi and Chakra at the same time, so he can get twice the result with half the effort. Chakra and Qi become stronger at the same time, superimposing each other, and the increase is terrifying.

He and Sasuke practiced taijutsu. Although there was a big gap in combat power between him and Sasuke, this was not a problem, because the practice of qi included controlling qi.

Even if his combat power is 10 billion, he can still reduce his pressure to only 5 points, which is equivalent to that of a normal person.

As long as Naruto lowers his air pressure to the same level as Sasuke, he can fight him with similar strength. Therefore, even people with huge differences in strength can sparring together.

Compared to the practice of ninjutsu, Sasuke has obviously slacked off in physical skills for a long time. When Naruto fought against him for the first time, he could barely cope with the Wolf Fang Wind Fist with the help of the Sharingan, but now, even if Naruto When the person lowered his air pressure to the same level as him, Sasuke's taijutsu performance was far worse than before.

Naruto didn't say anything to him, he lowered his speed to just one point faster than Sasuke, and kept launching fierce attacks on him. Sasuke was able to dodge or parry almost every time, and the vitality of his body was here. He continued to improve in the process, but no matter how much he improved, Naruto's speed was still one point faster than him.

In just a few days of practice, Sasuke's reaction speed and physical ability improved by nearly 30%, but he couldn't feel it himself, because no matter how much he improved, he still felt the same when fighting Naruto, always one point slower.

After eating, drinking, sleeping well and practicing hard for several days, Sasuke looked better than before. When the day of the chunin exam came, Naruto and Sasuke went to the ninja school to take the first exam. The girls they met on the road looked back at Sasuke frequently, and some of them boldly wanted to come up to him and get to know him.

"You guys are so annoying." Sasuke rejected everyone indifferently, and then left quickly with Naruto: "Naruto, let's go."

When they were about to arrive at the examination room, the two of them clapped their heads: "Oops, I forgot to call Sakura!"

Fortunately, Sakura was never vague when it came to exams. Naruto and Sasuke both came here after eating and drinking well last night and having a good sleep. However, Sakura was woken up by her mother early in the morning to take the exam.

She had been standing at the school gate waiting for a long time. When she saw Naruto and Sasuke arriving, she stood on tiptoes and waved to them: "Hey~! Sasuke! Naruto!"

After the two noticed her, they immediately hurried over. Naruto said with a shy face: "Sakura, you gave us a good meal."

"Eh? Did you know I was coming early?"

"With your personality, it's inevitable that you'll come early." Naruto said nonchalantly.

"You know me quite well." Sakura smiled, focusing on Sasuke.

"Stop talking boring words and hurry up to the examination room. Naruto, let's go."

.....................

After the bond is strengthened, I wonder if Sasuke "accidentally killed" Naruto during the first Valley of the End, whether it would be painful enough to open the kaleidoscope ()

Chapter 41 Damn it, is it an illusion?

Since graduation, several of them have not returned to the ninja school, but it has only been more than two months, which is actually equivalent to a summer vacation.

Standing in the corridor of the Ninja Academy once again, I felt like I was still a student.

"The exam location is in Classroom 301 on the third floor. Let's go up."

Several people began to walk up the stairs, but as they walked, Naruto found that the two people around him were a little abnormal.

"Hey, isn't this the second floor? Why did you two stop?" Naruto pointed to the sign on the floor.

"Second floor? Isn't this the third floor?" Sasuke hesitated for a moment, then suddenly realized: "I understand, someone has set up an illusion here. As soon as the candidates come here, they will fall under the illusion and mistakenly think that this is the third floor. This should be the first test for candidates.”

In fact, Sasuke himself would not be able to detect the genjutsu so quickly. With his ability, he would probably slowly realize something was wrong after walking to the door of the classroom on the second floor.

However, before he went down the stairs, Naruto said this was the second floor, not the third, which made Sasuke immediately aware of the problem.

Naruto would not lie to him, so there was only one answer left. One of him and Naruto must have been affected by genjutsu or the like, so he misjudged the floor.

He knew Naruto very well. Based on Naruto's state of mind and level of cultivation, ordinary illusions should basically be non-existent to him.

The principle of genjutsu is simply to disrupt the opponent's chakra, thereby causing the opponent to hallucinate. Depending on the ability of the user, genjutsu can vary from a simple small hallucination to a real ability to kill.

Similarly, the success rate of illusions also depends on the strength gap between the two parties. When the strengths are equal, applying illusions is like stirring the water in a vat with your hands. You can always do it with a little effort, but if the strengths are not equal, , applying illusions is like trying to stir up the sea with one hand, it cannot be realized at all.

Naruto's chakra is very powerful, and it may take a jounin-level genjutsu to be useful to him, and this is the chunin exam. If a jounin-level genjutsu is directly applied, the candidates will rush to the second floor together.

After simply running through the basic logic in his mind, Sasuke immediately made a rational judgment: "I was under the illusion, and Naruto is right."

Sakura beside her didn't believe it at first, but after seeing what Sasuke said, she also believed the genjutsu, so she closed her eyes and began to sort out her chakra.

In some cases, after the person who has been affected by the genjutsu realizes that he is in the genjutsu, he can mobilize the chakra in the body and sort it back to normal. As long as the flow of chakra returns to normal, the genjutsu will be automatically lifted.

Of course, there is also a kind of matryoshka illusion, that is, the caster makes the victim mistakenly think that he has sorted out the chakra, but in fact he has not sorted it out. He mistakenly thinks that the illusion has been lifted, but in fact he has only reached the third level. In the second level of illusion.

Illusion masters can play with people who have fallen into illusions like this. Of course, illusions also have shortcomings, that is, they are very afraid of external interference. Just like Naruto awakening Sasuke, once external forces intervene, illusions can easily collapse directly.

Sasuke's estimate of Naruto's genjutsu resistance was too conservative, because he didn't know that Naruto had not only chakra but also ki flowing in his body.

Unless the opponent can disrupt his chakra and qi at the same time, the chakra that invades the body will be instantly washed away by the qi, and the initially chaotic chakra will be instantly reorganized by the qi back to normal. If you want to deal with Naruto in this situation, Successfully casting illusions requires very high combat effectiveness.

The three of them ignored the large group of illusion-stricken candidates in the corridor and walked straight to the third floor.

At this time, there is only half an hour before the end of registration. If those candidates who have been affected by the illusion cannot remove the illusion within half an hour, they will directly lose their qualifications for the exam.

He couldn't unlock a chuunin-level genjutsu for more than half an hour. Obviously, he couldn't unlock a chuunin-level genjutsu at this level. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing if the genjutsu from the opposite side would kill him instantly.

After arriving at Classroom 301 on the third floor, Naruto opened the door and was immediately greeted by the noisy classroom.

The classroom was almost full, and there were noisy candidates everywhere. There were a few familiar faces inside, who were classmates in the ninja school at the time, but most of the faces were unfamiliar, because few people would come just after graduation. Chunin exam.

Most of the people sitting here are Naruto and his seniors. They have done many missions and accumulated to a certain level before they came to take the exam.

As soon as they entered the room, Naruto felt a gust of fragrant wind pass by and hit Sasuke directly.

"Sasuke~~! Long time no see, I've been missing you~"

Taking a closer look, he saw a beautiful girl with a yellow ponytail. She threw herself directly on Sasuke, looking very intimate.

And her behavior directly aroused strong dissatisfaction from Sakura. She obviously knew the girl, and immediately yelled at her with a very unkind expression: "You stinky Ino, take your hands off Sasuke!"

"Yo yo yo, isn't this Sakura? Your forehead is still so big, ugly~eight~weird~" Ino showed no sign of weakness and still hugged Sasuke as if to demonstrate to Sakura.
