Time flies by, and after greeting the three generations of Hokage and Uchiha Fugaku, Naruto and Sasuke began special training under the guidance of Jiraiya, and in the blink of an eye, more than a whole year has passed......

In order to ensure a more adequate allocation and use of time during the special training period, Jiraiya, Naruto, and Sasuke rushed into the No. 3 field survival training ground with wild survival tools, and began a fulfilling and rewarding special training time like being isolated from the world.

……

In the No. 3 Wilderness Survival Training Ground, in front of a rumbling waterfall surrounded by dense trees.

Under the gaze of Jiraiya, two thin figures are bathing in the waterfall flowing down for meditation practice, at first they can still do it with ease and ease, but with the passage of time, the physical strength and chakra are gradually exhausted, and finally they still can't hold on to the high-pressure washing of the water, the two petite figures involuntarily shook their bodies after exclaiming, and then fell from the slippery boulder into the water one after another. At the same time, the discomfort of drowning and lack of oxygen also made the consciousness of the two people wake up instantly, and it didn't take long for the two wet little heads to emerge from the water in embarrassment, and after swimming slowly to the shore with a weak breath, they collapsed on the grass without an image, gulping and greedily breathing fresh air.

With the progress of the special training, although Naruto and Sasuke could not see how much they had improved in ninjutsu only by judging by the naked eye, the solid muscle curves that loomed under the soaked cloth and the faint growth of a lot were enough to prove that the strength of the two had made great progress in this year!

"Whew, whew, whew...... Hmm, damn it, it's only a little bit of success, just hold on a little longer......"

Compared to Sasuke, who was completely out of strength, Naruto, who had a physical advantage as a descendant of the Uzumaki clan, still had some strength to talk to himself, and while gasping heavily, he took the food pills thrown by Jiraiya and stuffed them into his mouth to chew and swallow, while complaining vaguely, Naruto's eyes were full of smiles, obviously very satisfied with the benefits he had obtained from them.

"But speaking of which, this cultivation method is a little strange, but I didn't expect the effect to be unexpectedly good...... It took a lot longer than expected, but I was able to find the trick and I'm sure I'll be able to complete my training goal this time! ”

With the medicinal power of the Bing Food Pill taking effect and the innate amazing vitality of the Uzumaki clan, the healing and recovery, although the exhausted chakra will be difficult to return to the peak for a while and a half, Naruto's physical strength has been restored, and after bending over and curling up a carp to sit up from the ground, Naruto picked up the sleeve that was soaked and adhered to his skin, and eagerly prepared to launch a new round of challenges to the rumbling waterfall in front of him.

"Uhh......hh Naruto, it's good to have faith, but also remember not to rush it...... You two little guys' physical strength has reached the limit, not to mention that the time is not early, so let's stop here today, go home and rest well, and continue tomorrow. ”

After briefly expounding on the basic requirements of the practice, Jiraiya lay on Jiro's legs as before, lying on the side with his legs crossed, leisurely watching the progress of Naruto and Sasuke's practice, while still not saying a word, until he saw Naruto showing signs of challenging again, he stood up lazily, raised his palm and pretended to yawn to stop him, while hiding the subtle twitching and trembling frequency at the corner of his mouth, and secretly complained in his heart.

"My good boy...... Co-authored in this generation, is the title of genius already an existence that doesn't want money to rot on the street? Originally, I thought that in addition to Naruto, the Hyuga clan had a Hinata Ninji and the Uchiha clan had Uchiha Itachi, two children with amazing potential enough to grow into a shadow-level powerhouse, which was already the biggest good news in recent years...... Unexpectedly, this little guy named Sasuke is not much inferior to his brother when he practices seriously! When Fukasaku-sama taught me this practice, it took me a whole week to overcome it! These two kids were on the verge of succeeding in just three days without a hint?! ”

Of course, this is not the first time that Jiraiya has found it difficult to restrain his emotions and complain wildly because of the outstanding performance of the two little guys in front of him - since he started guiding these two little guys to practice, Jilai has turned into a funny complaining service because of the excellent results that the two little guys have frequently created to complete their cultivation ahead of schedule. The proficiency of this new skill is estimated to allow Jiraiya to perform stand-up comedy on stage alone, and he can easily speak for most of the day without repeating his lines......

Because of this, I don't know whether to cry or laugh, and when I get along with Naruto and Sasuke, not only is my proud self-confidence completely struck before the rapid progress that these two children continue to show like slapping their faces, but the expression on their faces has gradually evolved from a stunned look that I almost couldn't hold back at first to an indifferent face that I have long been used to numbness. The will becomes more calm and firm and difficult to shake at the same time, as if seeing through the red dust, often can fall into the wonderful situation of no desire and no desire to achieve enlightenment, which unexpectedly makes Jiraiya's willpower become more and more tenacious and strong and difficult to defeat, and the strength is faintly long lost again has the signs of upward improvement!

Of course, the progress is because of such an aggrieved reason stimulated by two underage children, and Zilai will definitely choose to keep his mouth shut, and he has made up his mind - that is, death! I won't let the second person have a chance to know about this for the rest of my life!

"Huh? Isn't it too early? I'll take a look at ......" Jiraiya's timely words of reminder made Naruto, who was deeply caught in the craze of training, gradually come back to his senses, and subconsciously raised his head to look around, and then continued to say in a startled voice, "Alas, alas! When did the moon hang high? Shouldn't it be only until noon?! ”

"Noon? That was a long time ago, little one...... I said, didn't you be lazy and napping during your practice, and you're still in a daze and haven't woken up, right? Seeing Naruto gradually change from confused and puzzled to shocked and surprised and gradually regained his senses, he couldn't help but smile more in his eyes, and between gentle words and teasing, he stood up and threw the clothes and pants that had been baked and heated by the bonfire in advance to Naruto and Sasuke, completely recalling the consciousness of the two back to reality, "No, hurry up and change your clothes, the weather is still a little cold this night, if you blow more cold wind when you are soaked, you two will have to spend it in the hospital bed tomorrow~"

As a person who has been a teacher several times in person, of course he knows that although it is good that Naruto and Sasuke are immersed in cultivation wholeheartedly, but in the end, they are still just young children, and their bodies that have not yet developed can not withstand too much destruction and oppression, and it is okay once or twice, and if they continue like this, they will inevitably leave hidden dangers in their bodies, thus limiting and damaging the future development space of these two children...... And right now, a year-long special training is the most suitable and extreme period to bring out the potential of Naruto and Sasuke!

And the importance of this Naruto is naturally very clear - after all, the words of concern that Jiraiya subconsciously utters now are almost exactly the same as the words of exhortation that Naruto had said to Sasuke several times - in the past, he would end his practice on time and start resting, as long as he is now, in addition to the necessary solution of physical problems and three meals a day, Naruto is not just to gain more strength in order to better deal with the strong enemies he will face in the future, It's even more because of a subtle shift in mentality.

Under the careful teaching of Jiraiya, the excellent teacher who single-handedly trained the two Hokages in the original book, after a few words that are easy to understand, not only can Naruto be answered in time when he encounters problems in the process of cultivation, so as to avoid detours and be guided in the right direction, but also because of the rapid progress of his own strength after receiving Jiraiya's guidance, and the various special changes hidden in ninjutsu after the explanation, Naruto has a strong interest in cultivation from the bottom of his heart. It is no longer the passive patience of forcing oneself to grit one's teeth and insist on testing one's willpower simply to achieve the goal.

The most obvious difference brought about by this change is that the practice routine that used to be more or less boring and repetitive has gradually changed to a positive attitude that I still want to continue after the sky has completely darkened...... For Naruto himself, this change is more than a significant improvement in strength! After all, it is better to actively explore than to be forced to accept, just like the difference in learning effect between the two diametrically opposed mentalities of boredom and eagerness to learn in the learning process, when practicing with a strong desire for knowledge, the benefits will naturally be doubled with half the effort.

"That's right...... If Sasuke is not allowed to go home today, not to mention whether Uncle Fugaku and Aunt Mikoto will be in a hurry...... Itachi-sang alone, now I'm afraid that I'm even going to eat my heart alive, and I can't bear to come to me in person. Although he has the dual support of the willpower of an adult as a traverser and the strong vitality of the Uzumaki clan, it will not affect Naruto to continue to practice sleeplessly for another night and be energetic, but as Jiraiya said, this obviously does not apply to the sleepy little fan next to him without the slightest moisture, after thinking for a while, he nodded slightly in agreement, smiled and shrugged in response to the ridicule, and at the same time, it also announced the official end of the special training that Jirai tailored for Naruto and Sasuke that lasted for a whole year.

"I've been working hard for you for so long, Grandpa Jiraiya...... So, let's go back first! ”

"Go, go, I'm relieved...... I can only see the faces of you two little boys for a year, and I'm about to become a monk! No, no, I have to hurry up and find the young and beautiful young ladies to comfort and comfort my injured and prostrated little heart, otherwise how can I marry Tsunade if I am cold! ”

After a few months of getting along, the relationship between teachers and friends made Zilai completely let go of his arrogance as one of the three ninjas in front of the two little guys in front of him, although he waved his hand in disgust, and always looked at the two of them, his eyes were full of pampering and proud smiles from the heart, and after a pause, he raised his hand to cover the small heads of the two children who were also smiling in front of him, and continued to speak softly like a grandfather telling his own grandson.

"Stay safe on the road...... Good night, go back early and get a good night's sleep, little ones. ”
