Naruto: First Love

Chapter 25 Tree Climbing
Sasuke stared at her for a long while before he said coldly, "Konoha is peaceful now, no one will want your life."

"You also said it's now, who can guarantee that there will be peace in the future?" Huo Wu lowered her eyes, "If you are not strong, you may die when you go out on a mission. Are you willing?"

Almost no one is willing to say this, and no one wants to die, so many people are trying to make themselves stronger.

Some people say it sounds good, for the country, the village and the tribe, but more importantly, isn't it for oneself? If a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. This is true in every world.

Sasuke was obviously stunned when he heard this. This was indeed the truth, but missions were basically assigned according to one's ability, and it was rare for one to lose one's life.

But Huo Wu had already thought ahead, and even thought about dying while completing the mission. Was this the difference between him and her? Didn't he say that he wanted to kill that person? If that was all, how could he kill that person?
Seeing that Sasuke's eyes darkened a little, Huo Wu knew that Sasuke was being stupid again.

All the members of the Uchiha clan are stupid. Uchiha Madara is so stupid that he wants to destroy the world. Uchiha Fugaku is so stupid that he wants to stage a coup. Uchiha Obito is so stupid that he is used as a gun but still happily kills his relatives and friends. Uchiha Shisui lost an eye and committed suicide over a disagreement. Uchiha Itachi killed his entire clan because of Danzo's words and made his own brother hate him. As for Uchiha Sasuke, he wants to kill Uchiha Itachi one moment, kill Danzo the next, destroy Konoha one moment, and kill Uchiha Madara the next. Well, the god of Chuunibun!

"Some people always want to be strong, but they don't know that the body is the capital of revolution. If you don't even have your life, how can you be strong? Even if you become strong, you don't know which bastard it is."

Huo Wu's words had some indirect meaning, but she didn't know if Sasuke could understand it.

"What bastard? Who are you talking about, Xiaowu?" Naruto dragged a fish to the fire and asked curiously.

Huo Wu shook her head and took the dead fish from his hand. "It's nothing. Go practice and I'll grill it for you. By the way, remember the trick well."

Hearing her talking about the trick, Naruto's eyes lit up and he nodded excitedly, "Thank you, I'll go climb the tree, I will definitely be able to climb to the top of the tree."

Naruto clenched his fists and excitedly went to climb the tree, Sasuke looked at Huo Wu, Yugi was embarrassed, "What's the trick?"

"Naruto asked Sakura, I think only the two of them know the answer." Huo Wu responded casually, focusing her attention on the grilled fish.

Sasuke glanced at Naruto who was trying hard to climb the tree, made up his mind, walked over and planned to ask Naruto.

However, given Naruto's personality, when he asked him, he was just laughed at and no one told him the secret.

After thinking for a while, Huo Wu called Naruto back, "Naruto, your fish is grilled." Then she walked over.

When Naruto heard that the fish was ready, he walked over excitedly, took the fish from the rack and started eating, while commenting to himself: "It's not enough, I must climb higher next time!"

Huo Wu ignored him and looked at Sasuke. She found that Sasuke kept climbing up and down, and his chakra was consumed a lot. She couldn't help but interrupt him: "Okay, you take a rest. The release of chakra should be even and moderate. Concentrate."

As he spoke, he also walked up the tree, stood on the trunk, and looked at him.

Although Huo Wu was only one year older than him, she was able to learn all these things, which made Sasuke, who had always been called a genius, very unconvinced. He snorted coldly, but had to do it for the sake of power.

He is a proud man and doesn't want to bow his head, but sometimes, that kind of pride seems to be just something dispensable.

He was the top freshman of the class, and all the students admired him. He didn't want to care about it. However, during this mission, he found that Huo Wu, who entered the school later than him, was actually stronger than him! Huo Wu rarely went to class, and like Naruto, she was just the last one in the class! Even though she passed the graduation exam before them, she still failed the Genin exam and had to return to school to repeat...

He didn't understand what was going on and was very curious about Huo Wu.

Huo Wu didn't know all this, because the last time she and Kaiban were on a mission, her state of mind changed after her Sharingan was opened, and she began to integrate into this world, knowing that only by becoming strong could she save herself.

She did not expect to change her fate because she was just a weak cannon fodder, which was not mentioned in the original book. She just had to try her best to survive.

That night, Sasuke and Naruto did not go back and fell asleep by the river. Huo Wu stayed by the fire and stayed awake all night.

The next morning, Huo Wu went back to sleep, and in the afternoon, Sasuke came back.

"Climbed to the top of the tree?" Sasuke did not tell Kakashi this news, but told Huo Wu instead.

Huo Wu was very surprised and didn't know Sasuke's goal until he asked her to learn to walk on water.

Although she was not very happy about it, Huo Wu still agreed to take him to practice, but Kakashi looked at her strangely, so Huo Wu didn't think much about it.

"Little Sasuke, your Sharingan has not been opened, so you'd better practice your fire escape first. Of course, even if your Sharingan is opened, don't overuse it, otherwise you will be like Kakashi and be too useless." Huo Wu was sitting by the river, looking at Sasuke who was practicing treading water, and suddenly shouted loudly.

Sasuke turned around and looked at her, but was attracted by a figure not far behind her. He was stunned and looked at Huo Wu with a strange expression, but didn't say anything.

Naruto was lying by the river, taking a rest. Because Sasuke successfully climbed to the top of the tree before him, Naruto was unwilling to give up and almost never gave up training. He only ate and practiced, and rarely rested.

Hearing Huo Wu's words, Naruto turned over, got up and looked at her, "Xiao Wu, Kakashi-sensei is very powerful, right? After all, he defeated that S-rank rebel Zabuza."

Huo Wu snorted coldly and threw a stone into the water with disdain, "You think too highly of him!"

The most tragic character in Konoha, the Hokage who died alone, was not as powerful as the second generation Hokage.

"How can Kakashi be so powerful? If it weren't for the Sharingan he got from his companion, he would be at most an ordinary jonin in Konoha, how could he be considered an elite jonin?"

Naruto was still interested and surprised, "The Sharingan you got from your companion?"

Huo Wu shook her head and did not continue the topic. Kakashi's Sharingan seemed to be a secret in this generation and not many people knew about it. It would be better for her not to mention it.

"It's a pity anyway. How talented was he when he was a child? But when he grew up, he wasn't that outstanding anymore. Without the Sharingan..."

It's a pity. Kakashi was such a genius when he was young. He graduated from Ninja School at the age of 5, became Chunin at the age of 6, and Jonin at the age of 12. But now, apart from creating the Chidori and developing the function of the Sharingan, what else has he done?
