Don’t think you’ll beat me again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sasuke-kun is right!\" Sakura’s voice rang out sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She darted forward, practically shoving her hand out—determined not to let Sasuke take Naruto’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won’t lose either!\" Naruto shot back confidently. \"I’ve got Kitazawa-sensei’s secret running technique!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secret running technique?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke’s eyes sharpened. Without another word, he got to his feet and stalked over to Kitazawa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sakura froze mid-step, her arms still awkwardly extended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She clenched her fists, her expression a blend of irritation and despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto scratched the back of his head, completely clueless as to why Sakura looked so furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he quickly shrugged it off and trotted over to Kiba and the others instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I came in first place!\" Naruto proclaimed with pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who asked you?!\" Kiba barked, glaring at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Congratulations, Naruto.\" Shikamaru offered a small, lazy smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re stronger than me,\" Choji admitted, handing Naruto a bag of chips. \"Want some?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A warm glow spread through Naruto’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t alone anymore. He finally had friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kitazawa-sensei.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke drew a deep breath and asked, \"What’s this running secret Naruto keeps talking about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why didn’t you just ask Naruto yourself?\" Kitazawa replied mildly, though he already knew the answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t want to ask him,\" Sasuke muttered, folding his arms with a quiet snort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s no secret technique,\" Kitazawa said with a faint smile. \"I just taught Naruto the correct way to run. But you already know all those techniques yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t believe it.\" Sasuke’s denial was instant and reflexive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you don’t believe me, you’re welcome to ask Naruto.\" Kitazawa was hardly surprised by the reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke fell silent, wrestling with his pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they really used the same methods... did that mean Naruto’s raw physicality was simply higher than his own?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Impossible.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet deep down, doubt crept in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At last, Sasuke clenched his jaw and marched over to Naruto again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Face cold, he demanded, \"Come with me.

What is it?\" Naruto blinked, puzzled, but followed Sasuke a short distance away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s the running technique Kitazawa-sensei taught you?\" Sasuke fired off the question without preamble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You wanna learn it too?\" Naruto’s eyes widened in delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hurry up and spit it out!\" Sasuke snapped, turning his head away as though embarrassed to be asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, sure thing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto wasn’t upset at all. In fact, he eagerly explained everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To him, the idea that Sasuke—the top student in class—was coming tohimfor advice was both thrilling and oddly touching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, there was another reason: Sasuke had never treated him any differently because of the \"monster\" rumors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s it?\" Sasuke stared at him, incredulous after hearing the explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah!\" Naruto nodded enthusiastically. \"Isn’t that enough?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke realized with a jolt that Kitazawa hadn’t been lying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And precisely because of that, his frustration only grew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why was Naruto’s physical prowess surpassing his own?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was an Uchiha. He was supposed to be invincible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long, silent struggle, Sasuke finally swallowed his pride and approached Kitazawa again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The answer’s simple,\" Kitazawa said, raising an eyebrow. \"Your Uchiha Clan specializes in the Sharingan and Fire Release Ninjutsu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But...\" Sasuke began, then faltered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Listen, Naruto’s talent is no less than yours,\" Kitazawa continued, smiling faintly. \"It’s just that your talents lie in different places.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa’s words weren’t a lie to Sasuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was all clearly stated in the original timeline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uzumaki Naruto had inherited the Sage of Six Paths’ physical vitality, while Uchiha Sasuke had inherited his powerful spiritual talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply put, Naruto embodied Yang Release, while Sasuke leaned toward Yin Release.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What talent doeshehave?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke scowled, crossing his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From what he’d seen so far, apart from physical training, Naruto was average—or worse—at everything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa couldn’t help chuckling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the terrifying charm of raw stats: facing a stat monster, you could throw every trick in the book at them and still come up short.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ll understand one day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa gave Sasuke a reassuring pat on the shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke instinctively glanced at Naruto, then frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t entirely believe Kitazawa’s words—but for some reason, a tiny voice inside him whispered that it might just be true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief break, class resumed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa demonstrated shuriken-throwing techniques, then let the students practice freely, while he gathered Hinata and a few others for specialized training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kitazawa-sensei!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto bounded over, eyes shining. \"Can I start tree-climbing practice now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d promised Naruto that if he earned first place in physical training, he could begin tree-climbing training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yatta!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto did a happy little hop in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s just tree-climbing. You’re still miles behind me,\" Sasuke scoffed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll catch up to you soon enough!\" Naruto declared fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke opened his mouth for a retort—then blinked. Suddenly, he was seeingthreeKitazawas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What jutsu isthat?!\" Naruto cried, eyes wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shadow Clone Jussu,\" all three Kitazawas replied in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wanna learn it!\" Naruto shouted, stars practically sparkling in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first thought in his mind was how awesome it would be to have clones to play with when he got home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll teach you once you’ve mastered tree-climbing,\" Kitazawa said smoothly, spinning him a tantalizing promise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Deal!\" Naruto nodded furiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All right—let’s get to training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa directed his clones into action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One Shadow Clone stayed behind to train Naruto, another worked with Yakumo, while Kitazawa’s main body focused on Sasuke, Hinata, and Ino Yamanaka.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto launched into tree-climbing practice with fierce determination—but the results were... less than stellar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa observed him, deep in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did Naruto have talent? Absolutely. Otherwise, he’d never have become the future savior of the ninja world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet back at the Ninja Academy, he’d been dead last, unable even to properly master the basic Clone Jutsu—and he’d failed his graduation exam multiple times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Part of it was his own lack of focus and seriousness at school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But another factor loomed large—the influence of the \"big baby\" sealed inside him: the Nine-Tails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitazawa rubbed his temples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his current power and position, there was no way he could afford to meddle with the Nine-Tails’ chakra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, diligence was the only answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slow as Naruto’s progress was... at least hewasimproving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke watched, eyes narrowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto had been training for nearly half the class period—and the highest he’d managed to climb was only about one-fifth of the tree’s height.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke remembered that on hisfirstattempt, he’d climbed halfway up the tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help doubting his entire reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’How the hell did I lose to a guy like this...?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon enough, class ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto left school, though he kept glancing back at the trees as if he were itching to keep training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he arrived home, he was greeted by the Third Hokage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Congratulations on taking first place in physical training,\" Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a genial smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks, old man!\" Naruto beamed. \"Wait... how’d you know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m the Hokage.\" Hiruzen puffed out his chest a bit. \"Nothing escapes my notice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoa!
