Chapter 148 The Tranquility Before the War (6)

"So what should we do, Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto asked, scratching his head. Kakashi crossed his arms and thought for a moment, "Naruto, you can try to distribute the chakra more evenly to each shadow clone and strengthen the connection between the original body and the clone. Sasuke, you need to learn how to control the amount of chakra released more accurately and find some ninjutsu that consumes less chakra to assist you."

"Understood, Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto and Sasuke responded in unison. The setting sun shone across the training ground, illuminating the three hopeful figures, as if foreshadowing their journey to a more glorious ninja path. In the days that followed, Naruto rose early and went to bed late, relentlessly practicing the technique of evenly distributing his chakra among his shadow clones. He failed again and again, only to try again and again, his clothes drenched in sweat unnoticed. Sasuke, on the other hand, immersed himself in various ninjutsu books, trying to find a ninjutsu that would suit him best and consume minimal chakra, repeatedly honing his precise control over the amount of chakra released.

A few weeks later, during a small assessment test, Naruto successfully summoned numerous shadow clones, each possessing stable and abundant chakra, their movements coordinated as if they were one. Sasuke also demonstrated remarkable progress, using his newly learned ninjutsu to unleash immense power with minimal chakra. Kakashi gazed upon the two with gratification, his heart overflowing with pride. "You've done well! This is the fruit of your hard work. More challenges await you, but I'm confident you'll rise to the occasion." The setting sun shone upon them once more, and this time, their figures appeared even more resolute and powerful than before, as if they had truly embarked on the journey to ninja greatness.

However, their peaceful training life was soon disrupted. News came from the village that a mysterious force had appeared nearby, and many villagers had disappeared inexplicably. Kakashi decided to take Naruto and Sasuke with him to investigate.

Arriving at the scene, an eerie atmosphere permeated the air. Naruto nervously rubbed his hands together, while Sasuke tightened his grip on his sword. Suddenly, several shadowy figures emerged from the darkness and pounced on them at breakneck speed. Sasuke took the initiative, using his newly acquired ninjutsu to repel some of them, but the shadows continued to appear.

Seeing this, Naruto quickly created multiple shadow clones, outflanking them from all directions. Kakashi also joined the battle, discovering that these shadows were not physical entities, but rather a special concentration of chakra. After a difficult battle, Kakashi finally found the source of the shadows—a sealing formation corrupted by evil chakra.

Kakashi unleashed his seal, Naruto and Sasuke fully assisting. With a flash of light, the evil chakra dissipated. They had successfully resolved the crisis and protected the village. When they returned, the villagers lined the streets to welcome them, their figures gleaming in the morning sun, becoming true heroes in their hearts.

"They are attacking Konoha again. It seems that the Otsutsuki are unwilling to hide anymore." Lingyue lowered her head and thought.

"Although you successfully repelled them this time, there is no guarantee that they will send someone else you can't deal with next time." Sasuke looked at the somewhat embarrassed Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke.

"I will become stronger next time." Naruto was as motivated as ever.

"Don't worry, you will fail next time you meet them." Uchiha Sasuke was still as arrogant as ever.

"Where is Obito? He has to set off for the Land of Iron to meet his father for further training." Lingyue looked around but didn't see Obito.

"He's still scared of the first generation's training, so he went to buy red bean cakes, saying he wanted to comfort himself." Naruto couldn't help but smile as he spoke. Now Naruto no longer lives in the Uchiha clan's territory. After Lingyue resurrected the fourth generation and Kushina, he moved to where the fourth generation and Kushina used to live. Today he just came here to train ninjutsu with Sasuke. Because he had something to discuss, he returned to the Uchiha clan's territory with Uchiha Sasuke.

"Naruto, do you want to stay for dinner?" Mikoto asked.

"No, I promised my mother to go home for dinner. Thank you, Aunt Mikoto." Naruto likes Uchiha Sasuke's mother very much. She is really beautiful, but his mother is more beautiful.

"When you were born, Kushina said she wanted to arrange a marriage for our Sasuke, saying that if it was a girl, they would become in-laws. But I didn't expect it to be a boy. What a pity... Now that I think about it, time has passed quickly. You're already so old." Mikoto began to recall the past. "I didn't expect you two had such a good relationship. Naruto, ask your mother to come to the Uchiha family for dinner one day. I used to have a good relationship with your mother."

"Ah? Is there such a thing? Mom has never told me this before." Naruto was obviously shocked. He glanced at Uchiha Sasuke beside him. His meaning was very clear. It turns out that we have such a fate.

"Mom, stop talking about this." It was obvious that Uchiha Sasuke knew about this matter, and Itachi even made fun of him for a long time because of it.

"Haha, Sasuke is shy." Naruto teased.

Sasuke blushed, "Hmph, Uzumaki Naruto, try saying that again."

Just when the two were about to start fighting, Obito came back. "Wow, it's so lively." Obito said vaguely while biting the red bean cake.

"Obito, why did you come back just now? If we don't set off for the Land of Iron soon, we'll be late." Ling Yue said with a frown.

Obito scratched his head, "Sorry, sorry, I'll leave now."

Naruto looked at Obito, his eyes lit up, "Brother Obito, can you take me with you when you go to the Land of Iron? I also want to go and see it."

"No, you have to practice hard at home." At this time, a majestic voice came. It turned out that the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze had teleported here.

"Dad!" Naruto yelled.

Minato patted Naruto's head and said, "Naruto, your current strength is not enough. Wait until you are stronger before going out to gain experience."

Naruto could only respond dejectedly.

Obito said goodbye to everyone and set off on his journey to the Land of Iron. Sasuke pulled Naruto and said, "Let's go, let's continue practicing ninjutsu." Naruto immediately became full of energy and ran away with Sasuke.

Sasuke and Naruto arrived at the training grounds and took up their positions, ready to perform a combined ninjutsu. However, after trying several times, they always failed. Naruto was a little frustrated, "Sasuke, is there something wrong with us?"

Sasuke frowned and thought, "Maybe the rhythm of coordination is not right yet."

At this moment, Kakashi suddenly appeared. "The problem between you two is that you lack chemistry. You need to better understand each other's habits." After hearing Kakashi's words, the two nodded thoughtfully.
