I'm in Konoha, and I have ten skill slots.

Shigure didn't want to tease him anymore. "Alright, stay for three days. We'll train here for three days, and I'll guide you in practicing ninjutsu. Actually, I know quite a few ninjutsu myself!"

Kakashi, who was hiding in the shadows, was taken aback for a moment.

Does the Shigure Clan have many ninjutsu techniques?

Is this possible?

Regardless of where Shigure learned his ninjutsu, how could someone his age possibly master so many ninjutsu techniques?

"However, I think the most suitable ninjutsu for you is the one that Kakashi-sensei used during the bell-collecting battle!"

Kakashi, hiding in the shadows, immediately frowned. This kid Shigure even included him?

"Kakashi-sensei, come out! There's no danger here, and you can't observe anything anyway. Why don't you give Sasuke some pointers on his training?"

"You are our teacher, so teaching us is your responsibility!"

Swish!

Kakashi appeared before the three of them. "My current task is to observe and record your performance in this mission!"

"That won't affect anything! You can observe and guide Sasuke's training at the same time, achieving the best of both worlds!"

Kakashi stood there without saying a word.

That seems to be true!

At this moment, Shigure smiled and said, "Besides, wasn't this observation mission over? The reason they made us carry out this mission alone was to use Zabuza to test us!"

"Zabuza has been dealt with, so Kakashi-sensei's observation mission should be considered complete!" 4.4

Kakashi was surprised to hear this; how did Shigure guess it?

The Third Hokage had previously tasked him with this mission: to use the demons of Kirigakure to test Shigure's true strength. Kakashi was puzzled at the time, and he is just as confused now.

"How did you guess that?"

Shigure smiled and said, "It's very simple! Kakashi-sensei was supposed to lead us on the mission, but he made us do it on our own. And when Zabuza appeared, Kakashi-sensei didn't seem surprised at all."

Kakashi was surprised.

At that time, Shigure was probably focused on dealing with Zabuza! How could he have time to be distracted by his own emotional changes?

No wonder the Third Hokage dared to let Zabuza serve as a whetstone for Shigure.

Why did the Third Hokage do this? Did he know Shigure's strength or not?

Chapter 87 The Weakest Member of Class 7

After Dazna arranged accommodations for the four people.

Naruto couldn't wait any longer and asked Shigure, "Shigure, shall we continue training? I still can't get past the last step!"

The final step of the Rasengan could never be completed, it seems that the control over chakra was not enough, and the requirements for completing the final step were simply not met.

"Then let's begin chakra control training!"

Training in chakra control.

Kakashi glanced at Shigure. Judging from the kid's tone, it seemed he already knew the training method for chakra control.

We arrived at a grove of trees not far from the port.

This place is near the sea and has trees, making it perfect for practicing tree climbing and treading.

"The first training method for controlling chakra is climbing trees!"

Climbing a tree?

Naruto and Sasuke frowned. Did they really need to train to climb trees?

However, Shigure jumped directly onto the tree trunk, her feet firmly planted on the trunk, her body parallel to the ground.

Shi Yu walked effortlessly, looking straight up at the treetop.

"This is what tree climbing is like!"

Kakashi nodded, as expected, Shigure knew about tree-climbing training.

Moreover, judging from Shiyu's appearance, he completed this training exceptionally well.

The control over chakra is exquisite.

"You can do that? How did you do that?" Sasuke asked.

"It's very simple. Concentrate your chakra in the soles of your feet and then climb. You can figure out the secrets for yourselves!"

As she spoke, Shigure had already reached the top of the tree.

He rolled over and landed easily.

"Alright, you guys get started! I'm going to begin my training too!"

Naruto nodded and immediately began to try.

Sasuke, standing to the side, looked at Shigure, quite curious about what kind of training Shigure would undergo.

However, Shigure simply strolled over to the side and began doing the most basic physical training.

Kakashi never expected that Shigure's training would be like this.

Is this kid trying to slack off on push-ups and sit-ups?

At this stage, Shiyu's only remaining challenge is meeting the physical requirements.

Although Shigure has three advanced physical skills on his passive skill bar at the same time, they are constantly enhancing his physique.

However, it still doesn't reach the level required to fuse two bloodline limits.

According to the great sage's assessment, if it were to rely solely on passive operation, it would take approximately ten days.

If Shigure doesn't actively cultivate, he'll have to wait this long.

If you cultivate actively, you might be able to complete it in about two days.

We'll be staying in the Land of Waves for another three days.

During this time, Shigure plans to directly enhance his physique to the level required by the Great Sage, so that he can begin fusing Boil Release and Ice Release immediately after returning to Konoha.

As the three began their training, Kakashi also started to seriously 'read' on the side.

The morning passed quickly.

Naruto and Sasuke kept trying, and before they knew it, they had started to secretly compete with each other.

Finally, they managed to climb to the top of the tree.

The two were panting heavily, but they could feel the effects of their tree-climbing training.

His control over chakra has reached a new level.

However, when Sasuke turned around to look at Shigure, he found that Shigure was still doing physical training, and his speed and posture were exactly the same as at the beginning.

'Has this guy been training his physical strength all morning?'

Did you maintain the same movement, the same speed, and the same frequency all morning?

Doesn't this guy get tired?

Even Shigure's breathing seemed to remain unchanged.

Sasuke and Naruto looked at Shigure as if he were a monster.

They were exhausted from just practicing tree climbing all morning, while Shiyu, who had been practicing physical strength, seemed to have no problems at all.

Not even a drop of sweat?

Kakashi had noticed it long ago as well.

'This level of training intensity is even more monstrous than Kai's!'

"We've finished climbing the tree, now..."

Sasuke was speaking to Shigure, but before he could finish, Shigure replied, "Next is the training on stomping. You can ask Kakashi-sensei to give you some pointers on the specifics!"

The two turned to look at Kakashi, who was reading a book.

Kakashi reluctantly closed the book. "Come with me!"

Kakashi, standing by the river, unleashed a training method called "Stepping," which is essentially like climbing a tree, where chakra is concentrated under the feet to stand on the ground.

However, because it is fluid, the chakra under the feet must also flow, and the flow speed changes, so the flow of chakra must also change accordingly.

This training was actually much easier for Naruto and Sasuke.

Now that we know how to control it, the next step is to adapt.

After just three hours of continuous falling, the two were able to stand on the surface with difficulty and even try to walk a short distance.

The two had basically been cultivating all day and returned to shore to rest.

Looking at Shigure on the other side, he was still practicing, and his movements and speed remained unchanged.

"This guy... doesn't he get tired?" This was the first time Naruto had ever felt that someone's physique was even more abnormal than his own.

Sasuke swallowed silently. At first, he looked down on this kind of training, but now it was different. Shigure had been training his physical strength all day.
