Chapter 021: Read more, use your brain more

Faced with Sasuke's challenge, Naruto did not refuse.

Except for the last time he punched the three naive kids who were bullying Hinata, he had never fought seriously before.

Sasuke was born into the Uchiha clan and was taught by his parents and older brother. He should be very physically strong and a good opponent.

Then, when the battle began, Naruto discovered that he had overestimated Sasuke.

Although Sasuke's actual combat experience was good, his physical condition and chakra volume without the Sharingan were much worse than Naruto's, who trained hard every day.

During the intense battle, Sasuke's physical strength and chakra quickly reached their limit, but Naruto didn't even break a sweat.

Except for Sasuke, who had the advantage at first, Naruto pressed and hit him the whole time.

In the end, Naruto knocked him out with a punch to the abdomen, completing his first victory.

Although Naruto pulled back his last punch, it still made Sasuke gag.

In the face of this situation, Sasuke, of course, was unwilling. He is a genius from an elite clan, how could he be defeated so easily?

After resting for a while, he challenged Naruto again.

Of course, the result was the same. In the end, it was Sasuke who was knocked out, and even because Naruto started applying his usual physical training experience in real combat, he lost even faster.

Sasuke is not someone who easily gives up. Failure motivates him more, challenging Naruto over and over again.

Naruto also had no reason to refuse the fight.

Then, Sasuke was beaten all day long.

Except for eating and resting to regain strength, he never gave up!

At dusk, the two finished their practice.

Today, Naruto didn't prepare grilled fish, but cooked a pot of fish soup with wild vegetables and roasted the three hares he had caught.

They sat by the fire to have dinner, each taking a rabbit to feast on.

At this moment, Naruto was a little dirty, but there was nothing wrong with him, whereas Sasuke's face was covered in bruises.

Of course, even if he was beaten like this, Sasuke wasn't angry with Naruto.

This is also the consequence of his proactive challenge, but more so due to his lack of strength.

This result stimulated Sasuke's fighting spirit and then produced even stronger corrective action.

"Although it hurts a bit, I can clearly feel that I have improved in combat." Sasuke told Naruto, who was sitting next to him while eating.

Naruto's pressure stimulated Sasuke's potential, making him increasingly flexible in physical combat, and he even used many amazing maneuvers that he had never thought of before.

It must be said that the Uchihas are simply Uchihas.

"I also feel like I have gained a lot." Naruto replied with a smile.

Then, with blank eyes, Naruto said again, "I heard that your clan has very durable shurikens. Tomorrow, you will help me practice shurikens. In return, I will teach you a training trick."

"Alright."

Sasuke didn't think much and agreed directly.

Today was only a physical battle. Naruto didn't use ninjutsu because otherwise, he would hurt Sasuke.

Obviously, they are about the same age and not training anything special, but their overall strength far exceeds Sasuke's.

After eating, he dried his hands and began to explain to Sasuke in detail.

"I don't know if you've noticed that when you were in battle, after a failure, after a short rest, you regained your strength and rushed to challenge me."

Upon hearing what Naruto said, Sasuke thought for a moment, as if it were indeed true.

He then asked, "Is there something wrong with this? Whether it's taijutsu, ninjutsu, or battle experience, isn't it all tested through practice and real combat? It becomes the instinct of the body, so strength can advance!"

This principle was taught by Sasuke's father, Fugaku, and is also the training method used by most Uchiha.

Naruto nodded and said, "What you said is not wrong. Diligence is the most basic condition for success. I don't question that."

"What I mean is that you haven't learned to consciously summarize and reflect on something, but rely on your subconscious instinct to summarize and reflect, just like your previous physical abilities."

"Although with diligent practice, your physical abilities will improve, but if you're in the process of practicing physical skills, you can summarize the advantages and disadvantages of them and discover the essence of the exercise!"

"Then make improvements, get rid of the bad things, and keep the essence, so that you can achieve the effect of practicing with half the effort."

"While thinking and summarizing may seem like a waste of physical training time, greater efficiency can fully compensate for the time consumed by thinking."

"This principle can be used not only in taijutsu practice but also in ninjutsu practice."

"Like the 'Wind Style: Great Breakthrough'."

*According to professional statistics, except for those who cannot practice it at all, an average Genin takes about a month to learn this jutsu."

"And two to three to master it."

"However, I can learn this ninjutsu after carefully thinking about the principles of ninjutsu after practicing it once. This is the result of thinking and summarizing!"

As he spoke, Naruto made the hand seal of that jutsu with a gesture that Sasuke could barely see, and then threw a gust of wind into the sky, demonstrating the persuasiveness of his words.

After a pause, Naruto finally concluded, "Anyway, use your brain more."

In addition to innate factors, a large part of intelligence is the result of acquired training and learning.

At that moment, Sasuke was lost in his thoughts.

He remembered how his father had taught him personally to practice the Great Fireball not long ago. When he first learned to use it, he could barely spit out a small flame.

His brother Itachi, the first time he practiced this jutsu, could spew out a Great Fireball that was several meters in diameter at once.

As Sasuke understands it, his brother Itachi is indeed someone who likes to think a lot.

Analyzing Naruto's words based on what he saw and heard, he felt more and more reasonable and began to wholeheartedly approve that he should think more and summarize the essence of things.

However, he still doesn't know how to implement this viewpoint.

Facing Sasuke's expectant gaze, Naruto smiled and uttered three words, "Read more."
