Naruto Dream Fulfillment Master!

Chapter 46 Naruto, Watch Carefully

"You bastard..."

Sasuke's temples throbbed with veins, and he felt a tightness in his chest that made him feel suffocated.

"hateful!"

He glared at Naruto's smug, infuriating smile, suppressing his frustration, and scoffed, "Is that you? What's it to you?!"

He turned his face away as he said this.

"It's alright!"

Naruto, not to be outdone, crossed his arms and raised his chin, "Wasn't that Naruto in the dream too? That was me!"

"Hmph!" Sasuke sneered, stubbornly saying, "Naruto knows far more ninjutsu than you. I was just careless and didn't dodge."

Naruto was speechless, unable to refute what he had just said.

His smile froze on his face, and after a long pause, he managed to stammer, "You arrogant bastard..."

But deep down, I had to admit that Sasuke was right.

In my dreams, I possess so many powerful ninjutsu techniques, while in reality...

Naruto lowered his gaze, his expression darkening.

Seeing that Naruto was no longer smug, Sasuke felt a little relieved.

But the next second, he noticed that Naruto's expression was a little strange.

Naruto's once radiant face suddenly lost its luster, replaced by dejection and self-reproach.

He lowered his head, clenched his fists, and after a long while, squeezed out a sentence from his throat: "...Yes, I can't do anything."

Naruto's voice was soft and muffled, which made Sasuke pause in surprise.

Just then, Naruto took a deep breath, suddenly raised his right hand, and pressed his palm down hard on the tree trunk next to him!

He shouted and poured a surge of chakra energy into the tree trunk.

With a soft "hissing" sound, several cracks appeared on the surface of the tree trunk, which was about the thickness of a bowl.

However, the crack was fine and shallow, and the trunk only swayed slightly twice before returning to calm.

Naruto withdrew his hand, looked at the few small cracks on the tree bark, and smiled bitterly: "You see, this is my current strength..."

He lowered his head and said self-deprecatingly, "This is the profound secret my father taught me, but I've only learned half of it so far. I'm afraid I can never achieve the power I saw in my dream again."

Sasuke witnessed this scene and his heart skipped a beat.

This was the first time he had ever seen Naruto look so forlorn.

He could truly understand the feeling of losing something, getting it back, and then losing it again.

I really went too far with what I said in a fit of pique...

Sasuke felt a pang of regret. He opened his mouth, wanting to apologize, but couldn't bring himself to do it.

After a moment of silence, he asked in a muffled voice, "Hey, which tow truck... is the one you were using still missing the last stage?"

"Hmm." Naruto nodded sullenly. "Rasengan. I only completed the second stage, and I can't seem to learn the rest no matter what."

As he spoke, he looked at the lingering chakra energy in his right palm, and a deep sense of frustration and regret welled up inside him.

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat somber.

Sakura stood to the side, looking at Naruto with concern. Just as she was about to say something to comfort him, she suddenly spotted a familiar figure peeking out from behind the bushes not far away.

"Kakashi-sensei!" Sakura raised her arm, waved vigorously at the person who came, and called out loudly.

Upon hearing this, Naruto and Sasuke both looked in the direction of the voice.

Sure enough, that nonchalant white-haired figure was walking this way.

Strangely, Kakashi, who is usually late, arrived early today?

"Hey, good morning!"

Kakashi strolled over slowly, hands in his pockets, half his face hidden under his headband and mask, revealing only one crescent-shaped eye. He greeted them with a half-smile.

"Kakashi-sensei is here so early today?!" Naruto was the first to react, his eyes widening as he exclaimed, "That's so rare!"

Sasuke, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement with Naruto's statement, which was a rare occurrence.

The way the two of them were singing in unison made Kakashi feel slightly awkward.

A bead of sweat trickled down his forehead in embarrassment. He thought to himself that he could never admit that he had come early today because he had dreamt last night that someone had complained about him for always being late.

Kakashi chuckled twice and quickly waved his hand, saying, "Haha, well... the sun is nice today, so I came over early since I was on the way."

He coughed a few times and quickly changed the subject, "Ahem, anyway, there are other plans for today, so I won't be taking you on a D-level mission."

"Really?!" Naruto's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.

He was fed up with those tedious chores, and he was finally waiting for Kakashi to have a change of heart!

"Very good!"

Naruto jumped three feet high in excitement.

"Finally, we don't have to catch cats anymore! Kakashi-sensei, so what are we going to do today? Shall we do some cool missions that real ninjas do?"

He couldn't wait to lean closer and ask.

Sakura also looked at Kakashi curiously, clearly uninterested in the usual D-rank missions.

Kakashi gave a meaningful look.

"There's no mission. But—today I'm going to teach you cultivation!"

"Cultivation?!"

Naruto was taken aback at first, then realized what was happening and exclaimed with delight, "Yay! Kakashi-sensei is finally going to teach us training himself!"

He clenched his fist excitedly, his face full of anticipation.

"Teach me powerful ninjutsu!"

Sasuke's eyes lit up when he heard the word "training".

For him, the ability to become stronger is always appealing, no matter when or where.

He took a half-step forward without making a sound, intently waiting for Kakashi to continue.

However, Kakashi's next words caused both Naruto and Sakura to show expressions of existential doubt.

"Today I'm going to teach you—how to climb trees," Kakashi said with a casual smile, his eyes narrowed.

"Huh?!" Naruto and Sakura exclaimed in unison.

"Climbing trees? What's so interesting about that? It sounds so boring..." Naruto's face fell immediately, his eyes filled with utter disappointment.

He thought Kakashi-sensei was going to teach him some incredibly powerful secret technique, but it turned out to be something even a child could do: climbing trees?!

Sakura looked confused as well: "Does learning this kind of thing count as training?"

She tilted her head, unsure of what Kakashi was up to.

Seeing the three children's varying reactions, Kakashi explained seriously, "This isn't just ordinary tree climbing. Watch closely—"

He said this as he stepped back a few steps and came to a large tree trunk.

In front of the three of them, Kakashi slowly raised one foot and gently stepped on the tree trunk.

An astonishing scene unfolded.

Kakashi's foot was firmly attached to the tree trunk, as if drawn by some invisible force.

He then lifted his other foot, and surprisingly, both feet left the ground, walking up the vertical tree trunk as if on flat ground.

"Wow—!" Naruto's eyes widened in disbelief.

Kakashi casually put his hands in his pockets and walked along the tree trunk to a branch more than ten meters above the ground, as if he were taking a leisurely stroll on flat ground.

Sakura covered her mouth, letting out a soft gasp, her face full of disbelief.

"I see, so it uses chakra to adhere to the tree trunk?" Sasuke's eyes flashed, and he instantly figured it out.

He was slightly less shocked, but he couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Kakashi stopped on the tree trunk, looked down and called out to them, "Through this method, you can train your chakra control. As long as you can skillfully use chakra to step on the tree trunk, the power and accuracy of your ninjutsu will be greatly improved in the future."

"I see!" Sakura exclaimed in realization, nodding excitedly.

Sasuke's eyes lit up.

It must be said that Kakashi's explanation hit his weakness right away.

If he can make up for his weaknesses through this kind of training, it will greatly benefit his improvement.

With this in mind, Sasuke could no longer suppress the urge to try it.

After Kakashi finished speaking, he leaped down from the tree.

Before he could even tell the students to start practicing, Sakura volunteered and rushed towards the big tree: "Kakashi-sensei, can I start now?"

Without waiting for an answer, she lifted one foot and carefully stepped onto the tree trunk...

Meanwhile, Sasuke was also preparing to start trying.

Compared to his companions' dedication, Naruto remained standing still, his face full of indifference.

Having witnessed his own glory in his dream just yesterday, he now looks down on such "tricks" to some extent.

His mind, however, had already wandered elsewhere.

If only we could train with those super cool techniques from my dream last night, this tree-climbing is totally lame...

Kakashi noticed Naruto's commotion and couldn't help but chuckle when he saw Naruto still standing there in a daze with a look of disgust on his face.

However, he wasn't angry. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and beckoned to Naruto: "Hey, Naruto, come over here for a second."

"what?"

Naruto grumbled as he walked up to Kakashi, looking somewhat impatient.

Kakashi didn't say anything, but suddenly raised his right hand and placed it in front of Naruto's eyes, smiling mysteriously: "Watch closely."

The next second, a ball of rapidly spinning azure chakra condensed and took shape in his palm.
