Soon, Team 7 arrived at Tazuna's house with him.
Upon arriving home, Tazuna began discussing the specifics of bridge construction with the villagers.
"Tazuna, if we continue to build the bridge with you, we'll eventually be targeted by Gato. We might even be assassinated one day."
"Yeah, we're just ordinary people. We have no way of fighting a wealthy tycoon like Gato."
"We should just accept our fate. What are we gonna do, we're just unlucky to have run into a bloodsucker like Gato."
Hearing his neighbors' discussions, Tazuna's determination to build the bridge grew even stronger.
He understood that fear had caused these people to lose their courage to fight Gato.
And rebuilding the bridge was the only path to reignite their courage and hope.
The members of Team 7 also felt a chill in their hearts upon hearing the villagers' words.
Uncle Tazuna had gone through so much trouble to come back from Konoha to rebuild the bridge, only to be greeted by cold villagers.
"If the beneficiaries of this bridge are these people, I don't think there's any point in building it!"
Naruto said indignantly.
These people always stood by and did nothing when others were in trouble, afraid of taking responsibility; but as soon as there was something to be gained, they all rushed forward.
At that moment, Tazuna's grandson ran out and shouted, "The Land of Waves doesn't need any heroes. Heroes are the most ridiculous things!"
After saying this, the boy ran out of the door.
Tazuna's face showed a look of helplessness.
Listening to the villagers arguing, Ye Yu and his companions got increasingly annoyed, so they simply went upstairs to rest.
When they got upstairs, Ye Yu began to think.
If Wood Release could build houses, could it also build a large bridge?
.
The next day, Kakashi gathered Team 7 together on a patch of empty land outside Tazuna's house.
"Alright, training starts now!"
Kakashi roared with a majestic aura.
"Finally, training begins!"
Naruto said excitedly and with anticipation.
Kakashi said, "Before we begin training, I'll give you a quick review of the basics of chakra and the power of ninjas."
Sasuke twitched his lips: "How troublesome."
Naruto interrupted: "We already know all of this, let's just get to the point!"
Kakashi pointed at Naruto with his finger and suggested: "Since you know it all, why don't you recount it to everyone."
Naruto was immediately speechless: "Uh... that..."
Naruto only knew that chakra was the foundation for ninjas to use jutsu, a kind of energy within their bodies.
But if he had to explain it systematically and in detail, he really didn't know where to start.
Kakashi had anticipated that Naruto would be unable to explain, so he pointed to Ye Yu next to him and said, "Ye Yu, you explain it."
Ye Yu, without hesitation, recited the textbook description of chakra verbatim.
After listening, Kakashi gave Ye Yu a thumbs up.
"All this talk, it's useful if you can use it, right? We can all release jutsu now."
Naruto said impatiently.
"Naruto's right."
Sasuke, for once, agreed with Naruto.
Kakashi snorted disdainfully: "You just know how to use jutsu, but you're far from mastering the control of chakra."
"Alright, listen to me now. Like Ye Yu just said, training chakra is about refining the energy of your body and mind, and allowing them to fuse within you."
"Then, depending on the technique you want to perform, you adjust the required energy..."
"Currently, you're still unable to efficiently utilize chakra, even if you have a large amount of it."
"If you can't control it evenly, the effect of your jutsu will be greatly reduced."
"So, today you're going to learn how to control the balance of chakra to achieve more precise operation."
"How do we practice this?"
Ye Yu asked.
"Simple, climb a tree."
Kakashi held up a finger.
"Climbing a tree? That sounds unreliable!"
Naruto complained.
"I'll demonstrate for you."
Kakashi said, walking towards a nearby large tree, and stepped onto it, going straight up.
His body was parallel to the ground, at a 90-degree angle to the tree trunk. He stepped on the tree trunk as easily as walking on flat ground.
Kakashi could not only walk on the tree trunk, but also hang upside down on the tree by virtue of his exquisite control of chakra!
"Amazing!"
Naruto excitedly clenched his fists.
Kakashi finished his demonstration, jumped back to the ground: "Okay, now you try."
Ye Yu remembered what Kakashi mentioned about "balance", took a step forward, his heart calm as water.
He started climbing the tree.
One step... two steps... ten steps...
It seems... not difficult!
"Kakashi-sensei, I did it!"
Ye Yu excitedly shouted.
At this time, Kakashi was leaning against a tree root, taking out his favorite, *Icha Icha Paradise*.
Hearing Ye Yu's words, he stood up in surprise.
"You succeeded so quickly?"
Kakashi looked up, and Ye Yu was easily hanging upside down on a tree branch with only his feet.
After thinking for a moment, Kakashi relaxed.
Of course, this guy seemed to be able to stand on water when he used Water Prison Jutsu to trap Zabuza yesterday.
It's no surprise that he can now control chakra to climb a tree.
"Alright, Ye Yu's training is finished, you two continue."
Kakashi waved Ye Yu down, coldly saying to Sasuke and Naruto.
Naruto had just taken two steps on the tree, when he heard this, he slipped, hit the back of his head on a rock, and got a bump.
Naruto: "Ye Yu's so amazing!"
Then Naruto went over to Ye Yu and asked him about the secret to climbing trees.
"It's simple, first you focus your chakra on the soles of your feet, then you keep calm and collected..."
After Ye Yu's explanation, Naruto suddenly realized.
Sasuke watched from the side with an itchy heart. He also wanted to ask Ye Yu for the secret, but he was too embarrassed to ask.
Later, Ye Yu went to another place to practice jutsu.
Because of Ye Yu's two pointers, Naruto progressed rapidly. From initially only being able to take two steps, he could now take twenty or thirty steps!
Kakashi was secretly surprised.
Did Ye Yu give Naruto some kind of magic pill?
He just casually gave him two pointers, and this kid became enlightened?!
Or maybe Ye Yu is naturally gifted as a teacher, even the dumbest student can learn under his tutelage!
Sasuke discovered that Naruto, who had been guided by Ye Yu, was now progressing faster than himself.
So, he mustered his courage and went to Naruto: "What's the secret Ye Yu told you? Tell me too."
Naruto secretly rejoiced.
Sasuke, Sasuke, you always have a cold demeanor, but it turns out you can beg for help too.
After all, they were classmates, and Naruto still told Sasuke what he had learned.
Sasuke was dumbfounded. Naruto was unreliable, he must have gotten it wrong!
On the other hand, in the depths of the forest.
After confirming that there was no one around, Ye Yu began training in Wood Release.
As he had envisioned, since Wood Release could build houses, it should theoretically be able to build bridges using intricate wood structures.
"Wood Release: Great Bridge!"
Ye Yu formed hand seals and shouted.
Immediately, countless wooden stakes erupted from the ground, forming an arch bridge.
