Because Ethan's shot was so fast, Naruto wasn't hurt by the oni-man's poisonous claws, so he didn't need to bleed and detoxify - but he still didn't escape Sasuke's taunts.

It was precisely because of this taunt that Naruto was stimulated to work harder, and if Sasuke didn't speak, Ethan would consider whether to taunt himself, so as to lead the 'plot' back to the 'right path'.

Fortunately, Sasuke didn't let himself down after all.

At the same time, after Dazna and Kakashi talked, Kakashi Hachiki decided to continue the mission.

From Kakashi's decision, it can be inferred that Konoha probably already knew about the situation in the country of waves, otherwise there would be no need to send Kakashi out specifically.

It was precisely because of the difficulty, danger, and necessity of this mission that Naruto and Sasuke were brought along by the way, so that these two could undergo real training in order to grow faster.

Otherwise, it really doesn't explain Kakashi's decision.

In any case, the seventh class plus Ethan continued to advance towards the country of waves, because the oni brothers were killed by Ethan neatly, so Kakashi didn't need to interrogate the two of them, and could only judge the situation from the equipment that the other party carried.

There wasn't much information to be given, but it didn't matter, and it was enough to make sure that the mission wasn't so peaceful.

Naruto was energized again, and Sasuke remained silent.

Sakura Haruno was a little worried, but when she thought about Kakashi, she seemed to be a reliable teacher, and Ethan and Sasuke were strong, so it didn't seem to be too much danger.

In addition, the following days were indeed peaceful, every day was just a hurry, and no enemy appeared.

Slowly, Haruno Sakura is no longer worried, plus Ethan often looks like he goes out for outings, and from time to time he will take out some snacks to eat, and even when he is camping, he will get some barbecue game or something - this guy actually brought a full set of condiments in his bag, this guy really came out for an outing, right?

Kakashi was also complaining about this in his heart, he felt that this student from Yamashiro Aoba seemed to be a little weird, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, and Ethan's background was a mess, so he couldn't think in other directions, so he put this matter aside.

It wasn't until they had been together a little longer that Kakashi asked Ethan why he chose the dabe during a camping trip.

"Because it saves effort. ”

It's not surprising that young people can't compete with adults, and ninjas don't care if you're a child or not when they're fighting.

"And I don't have a lot of chakra, and the use of weapons can also save chakra. ”

Kakashi nodded, this was indeed a good choice, with Ethan's instantaneous technique, ordinary shinobi had already been killed by him before he even had a chance to react.

But...... Isn't it scary to think about this not long after becoming a ninja?

Kakashi didn't know if it was scary or not, but in the days that followed, he did understand why Ethan was so strong.

He noticed that Ethan practiced almost all the time, and almost integrated various exercises into his daily life, such as catching wild meat, practicing stealth, stealth, detection, hidden weapon throwing, and even pursuit.

Cleaning up game is practicing Chakra's fine control, and even when cooking and resting, he will properly use Tu Dun Ninjutsu to create a 'barbecue' and a rest camp to shelter from the wind, etc.

Kakashi watched as the originally twisted and rough oven and camp slowly became refined.

Diligent and hard-working, coupled with good talent, there is no reason for not being strong.

It wasn't just Kakashi who saw all this, many of Ethan's actions also deeply stimulated Sasuke and Naruto, who never thought that they could actually cultivate like this.

"You're so good because you stick to this way of practicing?"

"Before Aoba-sensei became my instructor, there weren't so many things I could practice. ”

“......”

Naruto didn't realize what he meant, but Sasuke understood.

Ethan's background left him with little knowledge about ninjas, and all he could learn was the basics taught at the ninja school.

That's why when he was competing with himself at that time, he only used physical arts, because he didn't know much ninjutsu at all. During those years, Ethan could only practice those foundations and hone his body.

"That's how your physical skills are trained?"

"Almost. ”

Ethan's physical skills are a combination of countless years of combat experience and a general strong quality, but they are just displayed little by little.

But Sasuke didn't know, he thought he had finally discovered the truth: no matter how talented a person is, he has to work hard to become stronger. I couldn't compare to Ethan before, and the biggest problem was that I was far less hard working than Ethan.

As for talent, the ninjas of the Uchiha family are naturally better than ordinary people, and he firmly believes that.

In addition, what Ethan said casually made Sasuke and Naruto discover an embarrassing fact: the large number of low-level tasks that Kakashi had arranged before actually secretly meant to hone their basic skills, but unfortunately no one in the seventh class understood this level.

"But...... What's the use of practicing those basics?"

Naruto felt that those things would be fine, and it was useless to hone them repeatedly.

In fact, Sasuke's thoughts are similar, but his background and personal talent make his basic skills slightly better than Naruto's.

As for Sakura Haruno, she has a solid basic skills, but due to her own talent and the fact that she has not found the right development path, she has not been able to show the benefits of solid basic skills.

"Good ......"

Ethan thought about it and felt that he had almost done the foreshadowing along the way, and it was time to show off a little.

So he put one hand behind his back and quickly completed the seal with only his right hand.

"Tu Dun - Tu Liu Wall!"

Without slapping the ground with his hands, a heavy two-meter-high earthen wall immediately rose in front of Ethan.

One-handed stamping?

This time it wasn't just Sasuke and Naruto who were shocked, even Kakashi was taken aback.

One-handed stamping is not only a matter of basic skills, but also a matter of talent.

I don't know how many talented ninjas have emerged in the ninja world for so many years, but those who can complete one-handed seals without affecting the quality of ninjutsu are extremely rare at any time.

There have been countless geniuses for so many years, and those people can't do it with one hand, so one-handed sealing requires not only solid basic skills, extremely strong control over Chakra and a thorough understanding of ninjutsu, but also a strong ninjutsu talent!

The last genius in Konoha to have this talent was none other than Sasuke Uchiha's older brother.

"It's so powerful, can you release ninjutsu with one hand?"

Naruto didn't know what it meant, he just thought it was handsome, but after trying it himself, he found that he couldn't do it at all, even the most basic ninjutsu he couldn't let go.

"Stupid, if it's so simple to seal with one hand, why do those upper ninjas still seal with both hands?"

Sasuke knew how difficult it was, so he didn't pursue any one-handed seals, he paid more attention to what Ethan said next.

"Good enough basic skills can make you faster and more accurate when unleashing ninjutsu, less likely to be interrupted, and more chakra-saving. On top of that, excellent basic skills will allow you to learn new ninjutsu faster. ”

He also talked about how good chakra control was the basis for ninjas to be able to move freely in any terrain, and his words led Kakashi to start teaching the students to practice climbing trees in advance.

Compared to the grinding spear in the back, this time they have plenty of time to practice, and the distance from Konoha to the country of waves is not close, and they will not be directly brushed aside like watching anime.

So when they walked to the beach, except for Sakura Haruno, who was already strong in basic skills, even Naruto, who had extremely poor control over the chakra, could already hang upside down on the trunk of the tree.

This has no real impact on the upcoming battle, but the purpose of this mission is to make these two grow, and I didn't expect Ethan's addition to have this effect.

From this point of view, this mission has made a lot of money.

Taking advantage of the foggy weather to enter the country of waves by boat, coming here means that you have entered the enemy's sphere of influence, and a battle may occur at any time.

Several young people put away their previous relaxed attitudes and carefully observed the situation around them.

Naruto was still startled and shot with his shuriken, and he managed to kill a rabbit.

Kakashi noticed that it was a snow rabbit and immediately realized that the enemy was nearby, and Ethan had already spotted Zaibu slashing hiding in the shadows, and after a little hesitation, he directly pulled out kunai and shot over.

I almost forgot that he still has an amazing talent for perception in the setting!

Naruto can spot each other, but he was blocked by the Snow Hare's stand-in, and there's no reason why he is not as good as Naruto - although Naruto's one looks more like shit luck.

Due to Ethan's sudden attack, Zai Bu couldn't arrogantly fly out the big knife as a hidden weapon, and then stepped on the big knife cut into the trunk of the tree, looking down on everyone condescendingly.

Compared with the original book's pretending to be forced to appear, at this time he could only stand on the ground and confront Ethan and others.

"Tsk, I was actually discovered by a little ghost. ”

He glared at Ethan a few times without being happy, and found that the little ghost on the other side didn't look at him at all, but looked around with his arms crossed.

“......”

When Kakashi confirmed the identity of the other party, he decisively pushed the forehead guard that covered his eyes up a little, revealing his left eye, which had been covered all along.

This action also attracted the attention of Zai Bu Chop.

"I didn't expect Kakashi to be here...... Excuse me, can you please hand over that old man?"
