The weather is still hot, but the cicadas are gone, and the beginning of autumn can be a little cool, but when the white clouds drift away and the sun shines on the earth, heat accumulates in the air.

The sun had been shining on my head for half an afternoon, and sweat was dripping down my cheeks and blending into the grass.

"Ha, ha......"

Inside the Uchiha mansion, a boy wearing a short sleeve with a fan clan crest is practicing.

With wet hair on his forehead, Sasuke looked up at the tall oak tree in front of him, which was the same height as the tree he had climbed when Yu Xiaobai showed him.

Shaded by greenery, the hot wind shook the shadows of the leaves on the ground, Sasuke took a few deep breaths, stretched his body a few times—his hands and feet, plasters were plastered in many places, white bandages were scattered around the places where he had fallen, and his childish and delicate little face also had a few bruises. He retreated beyond the green shade, which was about a dozen meters away from the main trunk of the tree, and the bare skin climbed up the golden tentacles, the corners of Sasuke's mouth twitched unconsciously, and the smothered heat was under the bandage, and he felt that the wound was about to burn.

Carrying the few chakras that were left, a process that had been repeated countless times over the past few days, he rushed towards the tall oak tree.

The man's easy step on it flashed in his mind, and when his eyes were lowered as he ran, and the cracked black and gray bark was clearly visible, Sasuke leaped sharply and stepped on the trunk of the tree. Chakra smoothly attached to the soles of his feet, reliable stickiness came, his eyes turned upside down, Sasuke looked at the trunk of the tree in front of him that had turned into a road, short and not simple - he had fallen down countless times, and Mr. Yubai's words were not a joke.

After just one pause, getting used to this state, Sasuke suddenly picked up his speed, his feet were like stepping on a tightrope on the trunk of the tree, swaying, he crossed the height he had climbed on the first day, and the dark light came out of the dense branches and leaves, steady his breathing, he held the kunai in his hand, and he was ready to engrave the "achievement".

There was no waste, no imbalance, and the next second he crossed the best height he had done yesterday. The slender branches of the tree could be seen growing in the shade of the green, crisscrossing each other, and a half-yellow leaf happened to touch his hair, and the touch of brushing it made Sasuke nervous.

"Can you get to the top this time?"

Sasuke tried his best to calm his mind, but he still had problems with his steps, and he couldn't see the ground around him, and he was almost twenty meters tall like rootless duckweed floating in the air...... A piece of bark was trampled off, Sasuke secretly said bad in his heart, the familiar sense of loss of control hit his whole body, gravity pulled him down, Sasuke held his breath, and at the last moment, he stretched out his hand with all his strength, regardless of the fact that his body was completely out of his control, so that the kunai in his hand could be drawn a little higher, and finally he used all his strength on kunaisupreme.

"Sting." The sound of the bark cutting, the heat and pain all over his body seemed to disappear, and the clear stream that welled up in his heart made him forget the discomfort, and he scratched the mark to the highest.

However, the joy of celebration didn't have time to last, and the fall from the complete accident made Sasuke's face change. In order not to miss this opportunity, he was in a hurry to reach the best result, so that his body could not be borrowed. I couldn't reach the branches, I couldn't even touch the trunk, and the speed of the fall was immediately dangerous, "It's over." ”

Borrowing force and landing cushion protection were not good, and he completely fell into an embarrassing situation, the ground was soft grass, but he fell from nearly five floors...... Sasuke gritted his teeth, and Chakra desperately focused, ready for this unknown onslaught.

A figure suddenly rushed out from one side, his hands catching his out-of-control body, he leaned firmly against the soft and reliable place, and the huge potential energy was eliminated without a trace.

Regret that may have been disabling was saved by someone in time...... Sasuke looked at the person who caught him in surprise, and the familiar face made him surprise and said, "Yubai sensei?!" ”

"You're killing yourself." Yu Xiaobai had a calm face, said angrily, and threw Sasuke unceremoniously after landing on the ground, "People at least jump off the building, you jump off the tree, play or you can play." ”

It was really dangerous just now, the eight-year-old child fell from such a high place, Yu Xiaobai was very frightened at a glance, if he hadn't just returned to the village and had the idea of taking a look at Sasuke, something would really have happened.

"I'm sorry, teacher......" Sasuke was thrown on the ground and pressed to the wound, grinning in pain, Yu Xiaobai just came back and his tone was very bad, but he had no reason to refute, he was really too impatient just now, and after getting up, he lowered his head and quickly admitted his mistake.

"Wow, I said that climbing trees is dangerous, and you will fall to pay attention. Are you still doing this, do you practice like this, if you fall out of a lifelong disability, how can I ...... with your brother" Yu Xiaobai put on the majesty of a teacher, said a bunch of things unceremoniously, and stopped halfway through.

Sasuke bowed his head intently to accept criticism, similar to a student accepting a lecture from the head teacher, and was used to only listening to a rough idea, seeing that Yu Xiaobai suddenly did not speak, he raised his head carefully.

Yu Xiaobai almost said something that shouldn't be said, and when he saw that Sasuke only had doubts in his eyes and nothing else, he was secretly relieved.

"Forget it...... Be careful next time. Looking down, Yu Xiaobai saw the bruises on Sasuke's face, and the large and small ointments on his body also came into his eyes.

"How old are you, just take your time in training." Yu Xiaobai sighed inwardly and slowed down his tone, nothing happened after all.

Sasuke nodded, and Yu Xiaobai didn't speak. At this time, teachers and students who did not have a formal teacher-student certificate met for a long time, should they say something, Sasuke opened his mouth, and what he thought he would say was unspeakable at this time, and he still said, "Teacher, welcome back." ”

Yu Xiaobai stared blankly, glanced at Sasuke's ruddy face because of a lot of exercise, and coughed.

In order to avoid misunderstandings that may be caused among fans of the original work in the future, Yu Xiaobai turned sideways and looked at the big tree used by Sasuke to practice on the side with a straight face.

One by one, densely notched, the bark is turned over to reveal the white flesh of the tree, like a ladder, hinting at the progress of the owner. The whole trunk is the traces of depiction, certain well-defined, dense and sparse passages, just looking at these, one can faintly feel the belief that has been trapped in suffering, and has broken through countless times.

The last high notch fell in Yu Xiaobai's eyes.

Sasuke stood behind, quietly paying attention to Yu Xiaobai looking up at his "report card".

Touching his face, Yu Xiaobai exhaled, no way, at this time, he had to turn around and smile at such Uchiha Sasuke.

"Well done."
