100: Chapter 100 Climbing Trees! The Real TrainingA thought flashed through Sasuke's mind, and he instantly recalled the shocking scene from before: "Could it be."
He recalled the scene of Zabuza Momochi standing horizontally on the tree trunk as if walking on flat ground!
"That's right."
Kakashi confirmed Sasuke's guess, "It is climbing a tree.But not in the ordinary sense—"
He held up one finger to emphasize, "—It's climbing up 'without using your hands'!"
"Without using your hands?"
Sakura's eyes widened in disbelief."Then.how exactly do you climb up?Do you use your head?" Her thoughts were in turmoil.
Kakashi didn't answer immediately, but crossed his arms and said casually, "Watch the demonstration."
He quickly formed a simple hand seal, and an invisible energy wave instantly gathered beneath his feet, causing a slight ripple to spread across the dust beneath them.
"drink!"
With a low shout, Kakashi finished preparing and, to the astonishment of the three, walked straight towards a thick tree!
Without slowing down at all, he placed one foot directly on the almost vertical tree trunk!
Then, something even more astonishing happened—Kakashi's body didn't fall or bend!
As if he were walking on flat ground, he walked parallel to the ground, one step, two steps, three steps.easily and steadily "walking" up the tree trunk!
"Wow!"
Sakura covered her mouth in disbelief, "Just with his feet.he walked straight up there?Like walking on flat ground?"
Under the astonished gazes of the three, Kakashi easily walked to the tree branch several meters above the ground, turned his body, and hung upside down on the branch like a bat, looking down at the disciples on the ground.
"That's roughly how it is."
He said lazily, "The key is to precisely concentrate chakra in the soles of your feet, forming an invisible 'adhesive force' that allows your feet to firmly adhere to the tree trunk."
As long as one can freely and flexibly manipulate the chakra within the body, achieving this level is not difficult.
Sakura quickly recovered from her shock and astutely asked, "Wait a minute, Kakashi-sensei!Even if he could climb a tree, this."
This won't directly make us stronger, will it?What does it have to do with fighting the enemy?
Kakashi nodded, still hanging upside down, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes:
"That's the key!The core purpose of this training is not climbing trees itself, but the ultimate refinement of 'precise control of chakra'!"
His tone turned serious: "Gibberish."
Looking at Sakura and Sasuke, who seemed lost in thought, and Naruto, who still seemed a little confused, Kakashi crossed his arms and took them all in.
"However, you won't truly learn it just by listening to my explanation."
So.please experience it for yourselves!
Before he finished speaking, he flicked his wrist, and three kunai flew out with a whooshing sound, accurately embedding themselves in the ground in front of the three people!
"Each person gets a tree.First, use a kunai to mark the highest point you can reach on your first attempt.Then, try your best to climb to a place higher than that mark!"
Kakashi pointed to the giant trees around them, "You might not have a good time climbing at first, so.just go all out and see how high you can go!Understand?"
Naruto was the first to pull out the kunai stuck in front of him, his face once again filled with a confident smile:
"Hehe!This kind of training is a piece of cake for me!Watch me be the first to climb to the top of the tree!" He said, and was about to rush up the tree.
"Naruto!"
Kakashi's stern voice rang out, "Rule: No cheating allowed!"
He stared at Naruto, his eyes sharp."Especially you!You're not allowed to use the Adamantine Sealing Chains as a ladder, you're not allowed to use Shadow Clones to lift him up, and you're not allowed to use your Bounce Release body's jumping ability!You can only use pure chakra absorption!Understand?"
"Huh?How could this happen?"
Naruto immediately deflated like a punctured balloon, his face full of frustration and resentment."This is so unfair, Kakashi-sensei!"
Kakashi ignored Naruto's protests and waved his hand at the three of them: "Alright, complaints are invalid."
Now, each of you find a tree and begin your training!
The three exchanged a glance, all seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes.
They took a deep breath, silently began forming hand seals, concentrated their minds, and tried their best to guide the chakra in their bodies to the soles of their feet.
Buzz.Buzz.Buzz.
Three waves of chakra surged beneath the feet of the three, stirring up wisps of fine dust.
"Charge—!"
Naruto suddenly shouted, full of momentum!
However, to Sasuke and Sakura's surprise, Naruto, after shouting "Charge!", stood still with his arms crossed and head down, seemingly preparing some "ultimate move", and did not act immediately!
Sasuke and Sakura didn't have time to watch Naruto show off; training had already begun!
Their eyes narrowed, and they exerted their strength simultaneously, their feet imbued with chakra, as they charged towards the trees they had chosen!
With his outstanding physical abilities and reaction speed, Sasuke charged ahead like an arrow released from a bow!
He sped upwards, his movements fluid and swift, and in the blink of an eye, he had reached nearly halfway up the tree trunk!
"It worked?" Sasuke was overjoyed.
But at that very moment, the chakra gathered beneath his feet suddenly fluctuated violently, and the suction force weakened instantly!
"Oh no!"
Sasuke's expression changed slightly.The chakra under his feet became too strong due to the sudden loss of control.With a "crack", a small piece of tree bark was crushed and peeled off!
My body immediately lost its support and began to slide downwards!
"snort!"
Sasuke reacted extremely quickly.In the instant he slipped, he slashed his kunai across the tree trunk, leaving a deep mark!
He landed lightly, looked up at the indentation about four or five meters above the ground, and felt a deep sense of resentment.
'Damn it!I didn't expect to maintain a 'moderate' level of investigation.'Carats are so difficult to obtain!Too strong and the tree will be destroyed; too weak and it will fall to the ground.
This seemingly simple act of adsorption demands incredibly precise control over chakra!
Just as Sasuke landed and was still frustrated by his first failed attempt, he and Kakashi, who was hanging upside down on a nearby tree branch and seemed nonchalant, both turned their gazes toward.Naruto.
Naruto, who had just shouted "Charge!", is now standing motionless in front of the tree with his arms crossed and head down.
What is he doing?
Kakashi, hanging upside down from a tree branch, looked down at Naruto, who was still standing below with his arms crossed and head bowed, trying to look cool.He was about to scold Naruto for all talk and no action.
"Wow!It's even easier than I thought!"
A voice, tinged with surprise and shyness, came from the side.
Kakashi and Sasuke looked in the direction of the sound and saw Sakura sitting steadily on a branch of another tree, her face slightly flushed, smiling shyly, but her eyes were full of joy at completing the challenge.
