After this day, there were some subtle changes in the content of Naruto's practice.

Except for the main body still undergoing high-intensity physical training, all the clones have gone to work as garden workers.

As a result, the wild plants in this forest ushered in the first artificial intervention.

Many of the jumble branches were cut neatly from the trees, without borrowing any tools.

All of them were done by Naruto's shadow clones after using the Sharp Wind Attribute Chakra after the nature change.

In the beginning, Naruto's wind attribute chakra output was insufficient in an instant, and many times he couldn't cut off the branches of the trees at once.

And as time passed, Naruto was already able to cut it off in one go.

Once he had done that, Naruto began to exercise subtle control, trying to be able to judge at a glance the chakra needed for the cut, without wasting a single thing.

In the life-and-death battle with a strong enemy, perhaps it was this little chakra that was saved that became the straw that finally broke the balance of victory.

This is the meaning of the practice of precise control of every milli chakra.

Such a high-intensity practice was tiring, and every time he lifted the shadow clone, it was a disaster for Naruto, forcing him to enter the study space and hang up to digest the memories he had returned.

But there is no doubt that the results he has received are also very gratifying, and Chakra's manipulation is improving at an extremely alarming rate.

It took Naruto a year to completely repair the large area of forest that he had used as a training ground.

It was also during this time that Naruto had gone from being so engrossed in controlling only a little bit of air between his fingers that he was now able to blow a gust of wind around him with a single thought.

According to the rating criteria, there must be a level of five winds.

If he continues at this pace, it won't be long before he can ride the wind and soar for nine days.

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

A team of fifty shadow clones were sent by Naruto to cut through the waterfall not far from his training ground to cut through the waterfall and cut it off.

Another team of 50 people began to carve the work.

The branches that Naruto had cut were not wasted, and they all became Naruto's practice materials at the moment.

Sections of the tree were cut off, and Naruto began to carve them into the shape he wanted using the materials.

And at the moment, as the goal of the exercise, of course, is yourself.

Naruto's purpose was to use his precisely controlled wind attribute chakra as a carving knife to carve out his own proportionally reduced statue, which was a difficult technical task.

To this end, Naruto also studied carving in the study space.

And the result of this initial practice was naturally very unsuccessful, creating piles of garbage that I couldn't bear to look at.

And this garbage was not wasted, it became Sasuke's practice materials for practicing with Naruto, and after a year of practice, Sasuke's strength has also improved a lot, and he has already upgraded from abusing leaves to abusing trees.

These scraps left over from Naruto's practice were just used by him to cultivate his Thunderfire Chakra attribute changes.

Then at the end of the day's training, Naruto had obtained a good amount of good quality charcoal.

Some of them were used by Naruto for cooking, while more were sold as merchandise.

Although Naruto's face will be rejected if he sells something, and even if someone collects it, it is likely to cheat him on the price, but fortunately, Sasuke, the second young man of the Uchiha family, exists, and this trouble is avoided.

This also allowed Naruto to have an extra income, completely solving the gap in his part of the food.

After that, although Naruto's appetite increased due to high-intensity training.

There is also Sasuke, a guy who never studies cooking and only eats with his mouth open, and Naruto has never worried about the cost of food.

Occasionally, the two of them have spare money to eat a high-end meal.

For such a life, Naruto doesn't feel hard, he only feels fulfilled, and Sasuke, who doesn't admit defeat, never wants to give up, and his goal is only to surpass Naruto from beginning to end.

In cultivation, time flies quickly.

Before you know it, it's dusk again.

"Naruto-kun, Sasuke-kun, good afternoon." A soft voice rang out.

Then, Naruto saw a white-eyed girl in a white dress and carrying a bento box walk out of the forest with a soft smile on her face.

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

After more than a year, the girl's hair has grown a lot, and it has reached the level of a shawl, which makes her look much more gentle and beautiful.

In addition to the change in appearance, the girl is also very hard at cultivating.

Since she knew that Naruto and Sasuke both used shadow clones to go to class, she also deliberately asked her father to learn shadow clones, and when she asked the clones to go to class, she practiced under her father's strict guidance.

She always remembers, that winter day.

Appeared in front of her like a hero, Naruto-kun who rescued her from the hands of those three bad boys, and what was expected of her.

He hoped that she would become a strong man.

So since then, she has been working hard to cultivate and become a strong person as he expects.

And after getting to know Naruto-kun at the ninja school, he can also appreciate the charm of such a confident and strong self.

This is what keeps Hinata moving.

"Good afternoon."

When Hinata approached, Sasuke reluctantly said hello.

Although for the rest of the year, since they met at the ninja school, they often met, but he still didn't have a good impression of Hinata, the eldest lady of the clan from a rival family.

"I brought bonito onigiri and Ichiraku ramen, let's eat them together." Hinata didn't mind Sasuke's slightly cold attitude, smiled softly, opened the lunch box he brought, and placed it on the stone table.

Then, Sasuke's favorite bonito rice balls and tomato miso soup were taken out from it, as well as Naruto's favorite Iiraku ramen.

Seeing this, Naruto and Sasuke were not polite, picked up the food and began to eat.

For the rest of the year, Hinata would come to visit Naruto at the training ground every once in a while after a day of study and training, mostly chatting and occasionally bringing something to eat like this time.

Because it's already familiar, there's no need to be polite, and that becomes very raw.

Hinata was going home to have dinner with her family in a while, so she quietly watched the two of them eat.

"Naruto-kun, do you remember my sister Hanabi? Now I've grown up a lot, and it's small and cute. Seeing that Naruto had finished eating, Hinata smiled and gestured.

"Of course you remember, Hanabi is two years old, right?" Naruto naturally took over the topic and chatted with Hinata.

Sasuke on the side felt a little redundant.

After eating it quickly, and after snorting coldly, he went to the side to continue his cultivation.

"You can waste your time for girls, and I'll take advantage of this opportunity to gradually surpass you, Naruto!"

Thinking like this, Sasuke's action of making charcoal became more energetic!
