Ethan’s Fantasy Drift

Because Ethan's shot was too fast, Naruto was not injured by the poisonous claws of the ghost brothers, so he didn't need bloodletting and detoxification-but he still didn't escape Sasuke's ridicule.

It was precisely because of this ridicule that Naruto, who was stimulated, worked harder. If Sasuke didn't speak, Ethan would consider whether he should make a mockery himself, so as to bring the "plot" back to the "right path".

Fortunately, Sasuke did not disappoint himself after all.

At the same time, after Dazna and Kakashi talked, Hatake Kakashi decided to continue the mission.

From Kakashi's decision, it can be inferred that Konoha probably already knew about the situation in the Kingdom of Nami, otherwise there would be no need to send Kakashi out.

It is also in consideration of the difficulty, danger, and necessity of this mission that Naruto and Sasuke were brought along by the way, allowing these two to receive real experience in order to grow faster.

Otherwise, it really doesn't make sense to explain Kakashi's decision.

In any case, Class 7 and Ethan are still heading towards the land of waves, because the ghost brother was killed by Ethan, so Kakashi doesn't have to interrogate these two people, he can only carry it from each other. Equipped to judge the situation.

I didn't get much information, but it didn't affect anything. Now I just need to confirm that this mission is not so peaceful.

Naruto was full of energy again, but Sasuke remained silent.

Haruno Sakura was a little worried, but considering that Kakashi seemed to be a reliable teacher, and Ethan and Sasuke were very strong, it seemed that there was no great danger.

In addition, the following days were indeed very peaceful, every day was just hurrying, and no enemies appeared.

Gradually, Haruno Sakura no longer worried, and Ethan often looked like he was out for an outing, and he would take out some snacks from time to time, even when he was camping, he would make some barbecue game or something—this guy actually I brought a full set of condiments in my luggage, this guy is really out for an outing, right? How can a ninja bring so many seasonings when going out on missions?

Kakashi was also complaining about this in his heart. He felt that this student from Yamashiro Aoba seemed a little weird, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. In addition, Ethan's background was clean and messy, so it was impossible for him to go to other places. I didn't want to think about the direction, so I put this matter aside.

It wasn't until we spent a little longer together that Kakashi asked Ethan why he chose a dagger during a camping trip?

"Because it saves effort."

It is not surprising that you are not as strong as an adult at a young age, but when ninjas are fighting, they don't care whether you are a child or whether you are at a disadvantage in strength.

"And I don't have much Chakra, and using weapons can also save Chakra."

Kakashi nodded. This is indeed a good choice. With Ethan's teleportation technique, ordinary ninjas would have been killed by him without even a chance to react.

But... I have already thought of this not long after I became a ninja, isn't it a bit scary?

Kakashi didn't know whether it was scary or not, but in the days that followed, he understood why Ethan was so strong.

He noticed that Ethan was practicing almost all the time, and almost integrated various exercises into his daily life. For example, catching wild game was practicing stealth, concealment, detection, hidden weapon throwing, and even chasing.

Cleaning up game is to practice the fine control of Chakra. Even when cooking and resting, he will properly use Tudun ninjutsu to create 'ovens' and rest camps sheltered from the wind, etc.

Kakashi watched with his own eyes that the twisted and rough oven and the camp slowly became refined.

Diligence and hard work coupled with a good talent, it is unreasonable not to be strong.

It wasn't just Kakashi who saw all this, many of Ethan's behaviors also deeply stimulated Sasuke and Naruto, they never thought that they could practice like this.

"You are so good because you insist on practicing like this?"

"Before Aoba-sensei became my instructor, there were not so many things I could practice."

"..."

Naruto didn't realize what it meant, but Sasuke understood.

Ethan's background prevented him from getting too much ninja knowledge, and all he could learn was the various basic knowledge taught by the ninja school.

So when he was competing with himself, he only used Taijutsu, because he didn't know much ninjutsu at all. In those years, Ethan could only keep practicing those basics and hone his body.

"Is this how you developed your physical skills?"

"almost."

Much worse! Ethan's physical skills are a comprehensive product of countless years of combat experience combined with a strong quality like opening and hanging, and it is just displayed bit by bit.

But Sasuke didn't know, he thought he had finally discovered the truth: no matter how talented a person is, he has to work hard to become stronger. I was not as good as Ethan before, the biggest problem is that I am far less hardworking than Ethan.

As for talent? He firmly believes that the ninjas of the Uchiha family are inherently more talented than ordinary people.

In addition, what Ethan said casually made Sasuke and Naruto discover an embarrassing fact: the piles of low-level tasks that Kakashi had arranged before were actually meant to hone their basic skills secretly. No one in here understands this level.

"But...what's the use of practicing those basic skills?"

Naruto felt that it was good to know those things, and it was useless to practice repeatedly.

In fact, Sasuke's thoughts are similar, but his background and personal talent make his basic skills slightly better than Naruto's.

As for Haruno Sakura? She has solid basic skills, but limited by her own talent and has not yet found the right development path, she has not yet been able to show the benefits of solid basic skills.

"Good thing..."

Ethan thought about it, and felt that he had almost laid the groundwork along the way, and it was time to show off a little.

So he put one hand behind his back, and then quickly completed the knot mudra with only his right hand.

"Earth Dun-Earth Flow Wall!"

Without patting the ground with his hands, a two-meter-high thick earth wall immediately rose in front of Ethan.

One-handed seal?

This time not only Sasuke and Naruto were shocked, but even Kakashi was taken aback.

One-handed seal is not only a matter of basic skills, but also requires talent.

There have been countless talented ninjas in the ninja world over the years, but those who can complete one-handed seals without affecting the quality of ninjutsu are extremely rare at any time.

There have been countless geniuses over the years, and none of those people can do one-handed mudras, so one-handed mudras require not only solid basic skills, strong control over Chakra, and a thorough understanding of ninjutsu, but also Extremely strong ninjutsu talent!

The last Konoha genius with this talent was Uchiha Sasuke's older brother.

"It's amazing, can you use ninjutsu with one hand?"

Naruto didn't know what it meant, he just thought it was cool to do so, but after he tried it himself, he found that he couldn't do it at all, even the most basic ninjutsu.

"Idiot, if one-handed seals are so simple, why do those Jonin still use two-handed seals?"

Sasuke knew the difficulty, so he didn't pursue any one-hand seal, he paid more attention to what Ethan said next.

"Sufficient basic skills can make you faster and more accurate when releasing ninjutsu, less likely to be interrupted, and save chakra. Most importantly, excellent basic skills can allow you to learn new ninjutsu faster. Ninjutsu."

He also said that excellent chakra control is the basis for ninjas to move freely on any terrain, and his words also made Kakashi teach these students to practice tree climbing in advance.

Compared with grinding their guns in front of the battle later, they had plenty of time to practice this time. The distance from Konoha to the land of waves is not close, and the real walking will not be directly taken away like watching anime.

So when they walked to the beach, apart from Haruno Sakura, who was already strong in basic skills, even Naruto, who had extremely poor control over Chakra, could hang upside down on the tree trunk.

This has no substantial impact on the upcoming battle, but the purpose of this mission is to make these two grow up. I didn't expect that Ethan's joining would have this effect.

From this point of view, this mission has already paid off.

Taking advantage of the foggy weather to enter the Kingdom of Waves by boat, coming here means that you have entered the enemy's sphere of influence, and a battle may occur at any time.

Several young people put away their previous relaxed attitude and carefully observed the surrounding situation.

Naruto was still startled and shot randomly with his shuriken, and successfully killed a rabbit.

After Kakashi noticed that it was Snow Rabbit, he immediately realized that the enemy was nearby. Ethan had already discovered Zabuzhan who was hiding in the dark. After hesitating for a moment, he took out Kunai and shot at it.

I almost forgot that he also has an amazing talent for perception!

Naruto can spot each other, but was blocked by the snow rabbit double, there is no reason why he is not as good as Naruto-although Naruto looks more like a shit luck.

Because of Ethan's sudden attack, Zabuza couldn't arrogantly fly out the big knife as a hidden weapon, and then stepped on the big knife cut into the tree trunk, looking down at everyone from a high position.

Compared with the pretentious appearance in the original book, at this time he can only stand on the ground and confront Ethan and others.

"Tsk, I was actually discovered by a brat."

He stared at Ethan unhappily for a few more times, and found that the kid on the other side didn't look at him at all, but kept looking around with his arms folded.

"..."

When Kakashi confirmed the opponent's identity, he decisively pushed up the forehead covering his eyes, revealing his left eye that had been covered all along.

This action also attracted Zabuzhan's attention.

"I didn't expect Sharingan Kakashi to be here...Excuse me, can you please hand over that old man?"
