Chapter 1012: Teaching the Three Youngsters to Train
Chapter 1012: Teaching the Three Youngsters to Train
Sasuke and Sakura's thoughts were similar, and one could even say that Sasuke was only interested in power and didn't care about money at all.
Although the Uchiha clan had been annihilated by Uchiha Itachi, they still left behind a vast fortune.
Now that the entire Uchiha clan consisted of only Sasuke and Obito, it was only natural that they became the inheritors of the clan's assets.
Compared to Naruto, who often had to resort to eating expired ramen and milk, Sasuke, the second young master of the Uchiha clan, claimed that he didn't lack money at all.
Moreover, gathering intelligence was usually a task for lower-ranked ninjas like them, but Yecheng was willingly taking on this responsibility, giving them more time to train. Sasuke couldn't have been more pleased.
However, while Sasuke and Sakura were eager, Naruto's face turned pained as he took out his bulging frog wallet.
Unlike Sakura and Sasuke, Naruto had grown up without financial worries. He had saved this money by being frugal after becoming a ninja.
"Come on, give it to me. This is essential for gathering intelligence, do you understand? You're making me feel like I'm tricking a child out of their allowance."
"You should know that I'm the one suffering and toiling to gather intelligence. Even when my original body is doing so, I have to leave a shadow clone to guide your training. Do you know how exhausting that is?"
Hearing Yecheng's complaint, Sakura, standing by his side, immediately showed a sympathetic expression. Without hesitation, she reached out and snatched the frog wallet from Naruto's hand, directly stuffing it into Yecheng's hands.
"Yecheng-sama, you've truly worked yourself to the bone. Naruto is a fool, so please don't take it to heart."
Yecheng weighed the frog wallet in his hand, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. Then, he gently patted Sakura's head and said, "Girls are indeed more considerate.
If I had to choose one of you three as my disciple, I would definitely choose you, Sakura."
After leaving these words, Yecheng took the three youngsters' sponsorship for his mission and went to gather intelligence.
These days of intelligence gathering had indeed exhausted Yecheng, especially his lower back. After several consecutive days, Yecheng felt he needed to take time to recuperate.
When she heard his encouragement, Sakura's face lit up with happiness.
After several days of guidance, Sakura genuinely respected the adult in front of her. He not only taught her cultivation but also imparted valuable life lessons.
Within Team 7, Sakura could vaguely sense that as Naruto and Sasuke grew stronger, she was gradually falling behind.
Kakashi-sensei was undoubtedly one of the top-ranked ninjas in terms of strength, but he lacked the sensitivity to perceive a girl's inner thoughts like Yecheng.
While it might be unfair to compare him to Kakashi-sensei, Sakura felt in her heart that Yecheng was more suitable to be their teacher.
Not only was he kind and powerful, but Yecheng also treated all three of them equally in his teachings.
Sakura was aware of the relationship between Yecheng and Naruto due to the connection between Yecheng and her sister, Rin.
However, unlike Kakashi-sensei, who showed special favoritism towards Sasuke and secondary attention to Naruto, Yecheng didn't make her feel invisible.
When teaching Sakura, Yecheng first helped her discover her strengths and then tailored his teachings accordingly.
And he also noticed his own inner anxiety, comforting himself with the thought that the Fourth Hokage was also a civilian ninja, and if he wanted to catch up to those two, he couldn't give up on himself first. Such kind words were truly heartwarming.
Under the meticulous guidance of Yecheng, she also managed to grasp the basics of medical ninja techniques within just one week.
Although they hadn't known each other for long, Sakura deeply respected the Yecheng in front of her.
When they heard that the person Yecheng most wanted to take as a disciple was the one with the least presence, Sakura, Naruto and Sasuke exchanged glances, their fighting spirit ignited.
In the past few days of Yecheng's guidance, both Naruto and Sasuke could clearly feel their own strength improving.
This improvement was something they hadn't experienced during their special training with Jiraiya and Kakashi.
If Yecheng had only casually guided them, and their strength had increased so quickly, then if they became his personal disciples, their strength would surely skyrocket!
"Sakura, can you reveal a bit about your usual training? What did you do to make him favor you so much?"
Sasuke hesitated for a moment, but finally asked the question that had been on his mind.
When the three of them received Yecheng's guidance, they did so separately, so the three of them didn't know about each other's training or progress.
Sasuke still remembered how, on the first day of special training, Yecheng had opened his Mangekyo Sharingan in front of him, which had scared him quite a bit.
He didn't make a single mistake, and his every move and every technique were perfect!
Being able to freely control the Sharingan meant that Senju Yecheng also possessed the bloodline of the Uchiha clan! The powerful Mangekyo Sharingan, coupled with their shared clan, made Sasuke feel much closer to Yecheng, and he yearned even more to obtain the same power from Yecheng.
Originally, during the events in the Land of Waves, his Sharingan had just barely awakened. But under Yecheng's guidance for just a few days, he first used illusion techniques to create an environment, allowing him to evolve his eyes to the Three Tomoe Sharingan through his hatred for Itachi.
After that, Yecheng taught him many ways to use Chidori and the nature transformation of lightning-style chakra.
To be honest, if he were to face himself from a week ago, he would easily defeat him ten times over.
Sasuke was already very satisfied with his own strength improvement, even exceeding his initial expectations.
But just now, Yecheng had indicated that among the three of them, he was more willing to take Sakura as his disciple?
Didn't that mean that in this week's training, Sakura's progress and growth were even greater than theirs?
Not only Sasuke, but Naruto was also very surprised, as he had improved a lot during the week's training.
Sasuke's training focused on Sharingan evolution and Chidori, while Naruto learned the Rasengan and how to use tailed beast chakra.
Naruto had originally planned to surprise Sasuke and Sakura after this mission, but he hadn't expected that, according to Yecheng, Sakura seemed to have become even stronger than them?
At this moment, Yecheng, who was already questioning the fallen Miss... oh no, gathering information, also didn't realize that his casual words before leaving had directly made the two sons of the prophecy feel a great sense of crisis.
Naruto and Sasuke, who should have regarded each other as their strongest rivals, now unbelievably saw Sakura as their greatest competitor...
