Chapter 16: "An unexpected encounter: Ryuji leads Team 7 and meets Team 8 for a lesson on chakra control"
After Sakura left, Naruto and Sasuke started to take off their clothes. They were about to go into the water when Ryuji stopped them.
"They seem to have forgotten that I asked them to stand in the water and fish instead of diving in," Ryuji said.
"This is simply impossible, how can a person stand in the water, this isn't scientific!" shouted Naruto Uzumaki.
Sasuke, beside him, also frowned.
"Ryuji-sensei, although it is said that one can stand in water by controlling chakra, it is too difficult for us now," Sasuke added.
Ryuji reacted immediately.
The three of Team 7 had just learned how to climb trees using chakra when they went to the Land of Waves. As for walking on water, Naruto would have to meet Jiraiya to break the seal that prevented him from doing it properly.
Ryuji couldn't help but pat himself on the head.
Such an obvious timeline was wrong, but fortunately, it wasn't a big deal.
Now that he had said it, he wouldn't take it back.
Ryuji then turned serious and looked at Sasuke with a sarcastic expression.
"You think I asked you to fish for fun? Instead of digging bird nests and hunting hares?" he asked.
Sasuke shivered, bowed to Ryuji, and then ran straight toward the small lake.
Naruto looked inexplicably at Sasuke.
He didn't know why he suddenly became excited, but since Sasuke entered the water, Naruto naturally had to follow him.
After all, to Uzumaki, the two are rivals.
The one Naruto wants to surpass the most is Uchiha Sasuke.
[Ding Dong! Uchiha Sasuke's preference has increased! The preference level is now sixty-six points! ]
[Ding Dong! Hatake Kakashi's preference has increased! The preference level is now eighty points! Registration is available! ]
"Damn, it turns out I'm being evaluated too!"
Preference does not inexplicably increase. There are only two ways to get preference: the first is to register and the second is to get the other party's approval.
As soon as he taught the two of them to practice in the water, Kakashi's preference increased, which meant that he was hiding nearby.
However, Ryuji had no intention of exposing Kakashi. He sat directly on the ground and started practicing chakra.
After all, in this case, there might be surprises.
The method of practicing chakra is similar to practicing martial arts, which is to control the chakra of the body to walk along the body. As you keep walking, the meridians of the body gradually expand and the speed and amount of chakra increases considerably.
After several weeks of controlling chakra movement, Ryuji's body chakra has improved significantly. Originally, Hatake Sakumo's kenjutsu could only do one cut with full strength, but now Ryuji is confident that he can cut three times without fainting.
And maybe he can even try to release some of the ninjutsu he learned earlier.
At this point, Sasuke could barely stand in the water, and Naruto barely made it before he fell, and the ripples he raised caused Sasuke to fall as well.
"You idiot, can you go any further and not affect me?" shouted Sasuke angrily.
Several times, Sasuke almost made it but ended up falling short due to the waves caused by Naruto.
"Sasuke, you're amazing, please show me - look, I caught a big fish!" Naruto's iconic smile appeared on his face as the fish in his hand continued to struggle and all the water from the lake splashed Sasuke's face.
"You bastard!"
"Hahaha, Naruto and Sasuke, why are you playing in the water? And where are Sakura and her sensei?" with a laugh, a person and a dog approached, followed by two more figures.
Ryuji's eyes lit up.
It was Team 8! Inuzuka Kiba, Aburame Shino, and Hinata Hyuga!
At first, I thought that contact with other teams wouldn't be this early, at least not until the Chunin exam.
But this is reality, not anime.
In addition to daily practice, there will naturally be a lot of interactions with former classmates.
"Inspect!"

Kiba's rewards are irrelevant, when I get them I'll be thinking about what to give him jutsu to give him, since the only rewards that will be shown are from relevant characters, although in the following lines, I'll show Shino's rewards he won't Ryuji won't use them.

After seeing the situation of various people, Ryuji couldn't help but tremble with excitement.
Inuzuka Kiba was fine, and Akamaru was cute and acceptable.
But Aburame Shino, with his affinity for insects, was unacceptable to Ryuji. The insects crawling all over his body gave him goosebumps just thinking about it.
Hinata Hyuga, on the other hand, was quite good.
Although there is some overlap with Neji Hyuga, what Ryuji is looking for is repetition.
It's good to have advanced lineage techniques, but her characteristics are too obvious. If not handled well, he could attract the attention of those seeking to steal the Byakugan.
But low-level ninjutsu is something that almost anyone can learn.
As long as it is practiced repeatedly, its power will not be less than that of high-level ninjutsu.
Most importantly, no one will be suspicious.
"Log on Inuzuka Kiba, Aburame Shino and Hinata Hyuga!"

Ryuji felt joyful. Now that he had established contact with Hinata, he would naturally have to find a way to increase her favorability.
