The domineering Uchiha drove the Third Hokage mad!

Chapter 325 Yamanaka Ino, Kurama 8, Tenten

Yamanaka Ino took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes.

She quickly shook her head, trying to suppress these distracting thoughts, and the image of a peach blossom forest swaying in the wind appeared in her mind.

She tried to breathe in rhythm with the wind, feeling the cool breeze on her cheeks, listening to the soft sound of petals falling in the distance, and the faint scent of peach blossoms seemed to linger around her nose...

After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly felt the Celestial Imprint within her body become warm, and a gentle energy slowly spread along the imprint, flowing throughout her body along her meridians.

Immediately afterwards, a faint golden light emanated from her body, growing brighter and brighter, turning her long golden hair into a dazzling gold.

"It's lit! It's lit! Ino succeeded too!" Sakura Haruno was the first to notice and shouted excitedly.

Yamanaka Ino suddenly opened her eyes, looked at the golden light on her body, and a bright smile instantly bloomed on her face.

She jumped up from the ground, her voice filled with joy: "Teacher Sanfeng! I learned it! I really learned it!"

Looking at the golden light pulsating around her, Uchiha Mitsunori smiled and nodded: "Well done, Ino. Remember this feeling of relaxation; you'll be more adept at using natural energy in the future."

Yamanaka Ino nodded vigorously, feeling a sweet warmth in her heart.

Not only did I learn about natural energy, but I also received praise from Teacher Sanfeng. This feeling was sweeter than eating honey.

Uchiha Mitsunori watched her retreating figure, then glanced at Kurama Yakumo, Tenten, and Rock Lee, who were still working hard.

Looking at Kurama Yakumo's appearance, Inuzuka Hana couldn't help but whisper to Haruno Sakura, "Logically speaking, with Yakumo's strong mental power, he should be able to sense natural energy more easily. Why is he having so much trouble?"

Sakura Haruno nodded, her eyes full of doubt: "Yeah, before when she used her mental power to assist us in our training, she could even detect the slightest fluctuations in chakra. How come she's getting stuck on natural energy this time..."

Their conversation was overheard by Mitsufumi, who also looked at Kurama Yakumo, his brows furrowing slightly.

Kurama Yakumo's mental strength and talent are among the best in the world, but her current state is clearly not right.

Not only did he not feel any energy, but due to the excessive consumption of mental energy, his body began to sway slightly, as if he would collapse at any moment.

Uchiha Mitsunori's heart stirred, and he quietly activated his mind-reading ability.

He didn't want to pry into other people's minds, but Kurama Yakumo's current state was truly worrying.

When his consciousness touched Kurama Yakumo's heart: she felt no anxiety or impatience, but rather a gentle sentiment, filled with thoughts of "Will Mitsumine-sensei think I'm stupid?" and "Will Mitsumine-sensei be disappointed if I can't learn it?" Her words were filled with her love and care for him.

So that's how it is. Yakumo Kurama wasn't unable to sense natural energy.

Rather, it was because he cared too much about his opinion that his mind was constantly tense, which turned his strong mental strength into an obstacle, preventing him from relaxing and resonating with nature like others.

He strode up to Yakumo Kurama and gently infused a wisp of warm chakra into her brow.

This wisp of chakra, carrying a soothing power, slowly flowed into Yakumo's body, relieving her mental exhaustion.

Sensing the familiar presence, Kurama Yakumo trembled slightly, her eyes filled with confusion and shame: "Mitsubine-sensei... Am I really that stupid? I still can't learn it..."

"Don't say that, Yakumo."

Uchiha Mitsunori crouched down, his voice as gentle as a spring breeze: "You're not stupid, you're just too tense. Don't rely solely on your mental strength to 'capture' natural energy; that will only push it away. Try to withdraw your mental strength, relax your mind, and feel it with your heart, like feeling the warmth of the sun on your skin, feeling the breath of the surrounding flowers and plants... Natural energy is all around you, like a friend, waiting for you to greet it."

Hearing Mr. Mitsumine's gentle words, a warm feeling instantly welled up in Kurama Yakumo's heart.

Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she thought to herself: Mr. Sanfeng is so gentle... He doesn't think I'm stupid, and he's so patient in teaching me...

She took a deep breath, slowly withdrew her outward mental energy, and stopped deliberately "seeking" natural energy. Instead, she relaxed her body like she was basking in the sun.

Gradually, she felt the wind whispering past her ears, carrying a faint floral fragrance; she felt the grass beneath her feet gently unfurling, as if in sync with her breath; the Celestial Imprint within her body slowly warmed, a gentle energy spreading along the imprint, gradually resonating with the surrounding natural energy…

Suddenly, a soft pink light shone from around Kurama Yakumo, like a pink veil enveloping her.

Her long hair swayed gently, and the spiritual mark between her brows intertwined with a pink halo, making her look like a fairy who had stepped out of a fairyland, so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.

"Yakumo! You did it!"

Sakura Haruno and Hana Inuzuka immediately cheered, and even Tenten next to them stopped what she was doing, her eyes full of surprise.

Kurama Yakumo opened her eyes, looked at the pink halo surrounding her, and smiled gently: "Mitsumine-sensei, I... I've learned it!"

Uchiha Mitsunori smiled and nodded, his eyes full of satisfaction: "Well done, Yakumo. Remember this feeling of resonating with nature; you will possess great power in the future."

Next, only two people remained who had not yet grasped the essence of natural energy.

He walked over to Rock Lee and gently patted him on the shoulder: "Lee, don't be so tense. Relax, empty your mind, and let your heart be like a calm lake. Stillness allows you to see the subtle. Focus your mind, gather your strength, and try to befriend it."

Upon hearing this sudden sound, Lee Locke trembled slightly, clearly somewhat surprised.

But he quickly regained his composure, took a deep breath, and tried to steady his breathing.

Uchiha Mitsunori walked over to Tenten's side. Tenten had her eyes closed and her brows furrowed, as if she was struggling against some kind of power.

"Tian Tian, ​​don't think about anything. There's no need to make yourself so tired. Let go of those distracting thoughts and accept your ordinariness. Only by accepting your ordinariness can you see your extraordinary side."

The confusion in Tian Tian's eyes was gradually replaced by clarity.

Then, she closed her eyes again and continued to try to feel that power and connect with it.

Time passed by, and the atmosphere in the training ground became unusually heavy.

However, just when everyone thought that Tenten and Rock Lee might fail, a miracle happened.

A powerful current of air suddenly erupted around Rock Lee's body.

His hair danced wildly in the wind, and his body shone with a bright green light, successfully activating his Celestial Mode.

He slowly opened his eyes and shouted excitedly, "I did it! I finally did it!"

At the same time, a soft silver light shone on Tian Tian's body, and her expression changed from tense to relaxed, with a confident smile appearing on her lips.

She opened her eyes, feeling the natural energy surging within her: "It really does work."

Naruto jumped up excitedly and patted Rock Lee on the shoulder: "Rock, you're amazing!"

Sakura Haruno, holding Tenten's hand, smiled and said, "Tenten, you did it too! You're amazing!"

Uchiha Mitsunori looked at everyone, his eyes filled with satisfaction: "Very good, everyone has mastered Amanto Mode. Next, we will begin practical training."

After hearing this, the boys were all eager to get started, full of fighting spirit, as a new challenge was about to begin.
