After the mission was assigned, the atmosphere in the courtyard was a bit heavy.

Based on Naruto Uzumaki and the others' understanding of Kazama,

if they really couldn't master the new skills in three days, he might actually expel all of them.

However, the confidence of young people always comes quickly.

Naruto Uzumaki desperately tied the two-hundred-jin sandbags to his calves, gritting his teeth: "Isn't it just running? Watch me... This Great One will finish running it in half a day to show you!"

Uchiha Sasuke walked up to the bamboo basket, hoisted the heavy basket onto his shoulders with both hands, and sneered: "It's just pure Taijutsu training... What's the big deal."

Sakura Haruno tore off a piece of cloth to blindfold her eyes and took a deep breath: "I... I have no problem either."

"Having confidence is a good thing." Kazama leaned back into the rattan chair, "Then, the hellish special training officially begins!"

He found a comfortable posture under the eaves and casually pressed the mechanism switch on Sakura Haruno's side.

Naruto Uzumaki let out a loud roar, mustered all his strength, and sprinted forward.

As a result, the moment he took a step, his legs simply couldn't adapt to the dragging force of the two hundred jin, his center of gravity shifted, and he face-planted straight into the ground.

"Damn it... Detestable! Two hundred jin is completely different from one hundred jin!"

On the other side, Uchiha Sasuke climbed up a ten-meter-high tree trunk with the stone basket on his back.

He glanced down, took a deep breath, and jumped down.

In mid-air, he tried to step on the air by imitating Kazama's movements.

But it was all in vain.

With a muffled thud, Uchiha Sasuke and the stone basket crashed into the bushes together.

This fall felt as though it was going to scatter his bones apart.

Before he could catch his breath, the overturned basket behind him tilted, and the stones smashed onto his head one after another.

The most miserable one was still Sakura Haruno.

As soon as she stood on the plum blossom piles blindfolded, the mechanisms all around activated.

Swish, swish, swish!

Dozens of wooden Kunai shot over from all directions.

Sakura Haruno was still calculating the wind direction in her head, but her body simply couldn't keep up.

The wooden Kunai continuously hit her forehead, shoulders, and back, knocking her straight down from the piles.

Her already wide forehead swelled up visibly this time.

Kazama poured a cup of hot tea: "Yo, is this the so-called genius?"

"Had I known you guys were this useless, I should have taken you on a kindergarten mission to help kids find their toys."

Naruto Uzumaki raised his head from the mud pit, spat out a mouthful of mud: "Stop looking down on people! This Great One... will definitely finish running today!"

He climbed up using hands and feet, dragging his two heavy legs and inching outward step by step.

Uchiha Sasuke pushed away the bamboo basket pressing on his body, wiped the mud from the corner of his mouth, and walked toward the big tree again.

Sakura Haruno rubbed the bump on her head, gritted her teeth, and climbed back onto the plum blossom piles.

Watching the three people re-engaging in training, Kazama took a satisfied sip of tea.

Time came to early morning. The sky was just beginning to brighten.

Tazuna rubbed his sleepy eyes, pushed open the door intending to go to the courtyard to draw a bucket of well water to wash his face.

As soon as the door panel opened, Tazuna froze, and the bucket almost dropped to the ground.

"Good... Goodness, you guys... tossed and turned for the whole night?"

Late last night, he still heard thumping noises in the courtyard, thinking these brats would go back to their rooms to sleep after holding out for an hour or so.

Damn it, the sky was already bright and these three people were still risking their lives!

"Step aside! Old man, hurry up and dodge ahhh!"

Before Tazuna could react, a green shadow carrying rolling dust rushed straight into the courtyard.

Naruto Uzumaki's pace was extremely fast now, and every time the soles of his shoes kicked the ground, it would burst out with a muffled impact.

In the final steps of his high-speed sprint, his movements became much faster.

A series of sounds of feet stepping on the ground rang out.

The ground was trampled out a ring-shaped wave of air, and Naruto Uzumaki's body violently shifted horizontally forward by five or six meters.

"Damn... That's not right!"

Naruto Uzumaki's eyes widened. At his current speed, he couldn't brake at all, and he rushed straight toward the pile of firewood.

"Bah! Bah!"

Naruto Uzumaki pulled his head out of the firewood pile, spat out the wood debris in his mouth, and laughed out loud: "Hahaha, This Great One has grasped the knack!"

"So noisy, dead last." Uchiha Sasuke's taunt came from the big tree.

Uchiha Sasuke stood at the top of the tree fork, carrying the bamboo basket filled with stones on his back.

This night, he fell to the ground hundreds of times, and his back and elbows were covered in patches of bruised blood.

This time, Uchiha Sasuke leaped down again!

When falling to a position one person high from the ground, he tensed all his muscles and slammed his legs downward into the empty air!

Bang!

Uchiha Sasuke forcibly lingered in the air for a second, and the momentum of the fall was mostly neutralized.

On the other side of the courtyard, the mechanisms on the plum blossom piles were still operating continuously.

Swish! Swish!

Two wooden Kunai crossed and shot toward Sakura Haruno's face and throat.

Sakura Haruno's body was completely relaxed now.

The instant the breeze stirred up by the Kunai brushed across her skin, her body lightly swayed backward on the wooden pile, smoothly avoiding this tricky shooting wave.

"Hoo... So that's how it is..."

Sakura Haruno tore off the blindfold in front of her eyes, "Abandon the active resistance of the muscles and sway along with the wind direction..."

Tazuna stood at the doorway, watching in utter astonishment.

"Oh my, you guys got up really early."

The second-floor window was pushed open. Kazama yawned and greeted the people in the courtyard.

Tsunami tied her apron and walked to the doorway carrying a large tray.

"Mr. Kazama, you're awake? Breakfast has just been reheated, eat it while it's hot."

Placed on the plate was chicken soup made from the roast chicken left over from last night, along with a few pieces of piping-hot baked dry rations.

Kazama took it: "Thanks a lot, Mrs. Tsunami."

Naruto Uzumaki in the courtyard shouted discontentedly: "Hey! Teacher Kazama! We trained our hearts out outside for a whole night, and you actually slept soundly until dawn? You didn't even say a word to guide us."

Kazama glanced at him sideways: "Otherwise what? Should I stay up all night with you guys drinking the northwest wind? As your master, I am training your ability to practice independently. Do you understand the painstaking efforts of being a teacher?"

Uchiha Sasuke walked under the window with a cold face: "I just... succeeded once."

Sakura Haruno also jumped off the plum blossom piles: "Teacher, I have also comprehended the profound meaning of Kami-e."

Naruto Uzumaki was even less willing to show weakness, pointing at a trail of deep pits trampled into the ground: "That move of mine just now directly darted out several meters!"

The The Three Little Ones stared at Kazama, hoping to hear half a word of praise from this wicked teacher's mouth.

Kazama picked up the hot soup and took a big sip, letting out a comfortable sigh.

And in his mind, a series of system notification sounds rang out:

【Ding!】

【Detected that the Host has prompted Naruto Uzumaki, Uchiha Sasuke, Sakura Haruno to initially comprehend the Navy Six Styles!】

【Triggered Critical Strike Rebate!】

【Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: Armament Haki, Observation Haki mastery!】

On the surface, Kazama was expressionless, but in his heart, he was already blooming with joy.

Good heavens, grind, all of you fucking grind your hardest!

Kazama put down the soup bowl, and his gaze swept over the three muddy, dark-eyed yet arrogant brats in front of him.

"Look at you guys, every single one of your tails is hoisted up to the sky."

"I really don't know what you're feeling smug about. This bit of fur hasn't even touched the threshold, it barely counts as a semi-finished product."

Kazama shook his head with a look of disgust.

"Alright, go back to the room, wash up, change into a set of clothes, and come over to eat breakfast. Today you still have to be responsible for Tazuna's security work."
