Chapter 448 What I Saw and Heard
Despite his many questions and worries, Uchiha Sasuke showed no sign of backing down. He knew that now that he had set foot on this land and entered this training ground, as an avenger, he had to give it his all to learn something here and return with a full harvest! Even if the road ahead was full of difficulties and obstacles, he firmly believed that with his perseverance and talent, he would be able to carve out his own niche and lay the most solid foundation for his path of revenge.
As they traveled along the winding road, Sasuke Uchiha gradually came into view of the many young Hyuga clan members. Their bright and sharp eyes, as if drawn by a magnet, all focused on this unexpected guest.
For these young Hyuga clan members, their innate soul perception ability allowed them to easily discern a person's strength. However, when they applied this special ability to Uchiha Sasuke, the result caused them to frown slightly. To their keen senses, Uchiha Sasuke's aura appeared so weak and insignificant, like a candle flickering in the wind, as if it might be extinguished at any moment.
However, what surprised and intrigued these young Hyuga clan members even more was that this seemingly ordinary and weak individual was still persistently practicing the chakra system! It's important to understand that in this training ground, the younger generation had long since lost interest and faith in the traditional chakra training system. As time passed, more and more young people chose other, newer, and more powerful training methods, to the point that very few people still persisted in chakra training. Even many young children, influenced by their elders, had gradually forgotten this once-popular training system.
At that moment, Sasuke Uchiha felt as if a heavy boulder was pressing on his heart, making it almost impossible for him to breathe. His keen, almost beast-like intuition clearly told him that none of the young people he had encountered along the way were easy to deal with. The powerful aura and sharp presence they exuded made Sasuke feel unprecedented pressure.
Even those children who appeared significantly younger than him displayed strength that made Sasuke take notice. The aura emanating from them all secretly alarmed Sasuke. What shocked Sasuke even more was that many of these people possessed auras far surpassing those of ordinary Jonin!
Some of these beings exuded an aura even more terrifying than that of the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade. Whenever Sasuke brushed past such opponents, he could feel an invisible force rushing towards him, as if to devour him. This intense pressure caused Sasuke to be astonished, and the oppression in his heart intensified. He never imagined that there would be so many powerful individuals in the training grounds, far exceeding even Konoha, the village renowned as the strongest ninja village in the world.
In reality, Sasuke Uchiha's assessment of the strength of the people at the training ground was flawed; he greatly overestimated their abilities. Admittedly, there were indeed many powerful individuals in this mysterious training ground, whose strength had already reached the Kage level. However, their numbers were far fewer than Sasuke had sensed.
The reason lies in the fact that this training ground does not follow the traditional chakra cultivation system, but rather a unique cultivation system passed down by Hyuga Kanan. This path emphasizes the simultaneous cultivation of essence, energy, and spirit. This method aims to allow practitioners to achieve a comprehensive transformation and evolution. Once they successfully cross the threshold of cultivation, these individuals exude an aura far surpassing that of ordinary people. Furthermore, this transcendence is not merely superficial, but stems from a sublimation at the essence of life, creating a vast chasm between them and ordinary mortals.
When Sasuke Uchiha first arrived at this mysterious training ground, its unique and complex training system was like a fog, completely incomprehensible to him. He had no prior knowledge or experience, and was utterly clueless. However, as an excellent ninja, Sasuke possessed extraordinary sensory abilities, which became his only support as he groped his way forward in this unknown territory.
With this innate intuition and insight, Sasuke carefully observed everything around him, trying to glean useful information from subtle changes and the flow of energy, and to make his own judgments accordingly. However, due to a lack of in-depth understanding of this training system, what he perceived was often only surface phenomena, like peeking at the outline of things through a hazy veil, unable to clearly perceive their essence and inner laws. Therefore, the scenes he saw might deviate from reality, and sometimes he would even draw incorrect conclusions. Even so, Sasuke remained undeterred, instead continuing to explore this training ground full of challenges and opportunities with great excitement, hoping to gradually uncover the truth hidden behind the layers of mist and improve his own strength.
Sasuke Uchiha frowned deeply, fine beads of sweat forming on his forehead. He could clearly feel the immense pressure emanating from all directions, like a mountain crushing an egg. This pressure felt like an invisible hand gripping his throat, making every step incredibly difficult. However, Sasuke showed no sign of backing down. He gritted his teeth, his eyes resolute and determined, following closely behind the Hyuga clansman before him, walking step by step towards the training base at the martial arts arena. Along the way, the surrounding air seemed to grow heavy, the immense pressure crashing against his body and mind like surging waves, but Sasuke stubbornly resisted, refusing to yield in the slightest.
Upon entering the magnificent training base of the martial arts arena, a solemn and dignified atmosphere immediately greets you. Sunlight spills onto the wide plaza, illuminating the neatly arranged stone slabs on the ground.
Soon, many of the children inside focused their attention on Uchiha Sasuke, looking at him with curiosity. The Hyuga clansman leading the way didn't exchange many words, but simply nodded slightly to his clansman who was teaching the children, and then led him through the crowd, heading deeper into the training grounds.
Following the winding path, a simple and elegant building soon comes into view. This building is a classroom specifically for teaching young children, standing quietly in a secluded grove of trees, isolated from the noisy outside world.
Stepping into the children's instruction room, one finds it simply and elegantly furnished. The walls are covered with diagrams and explanatory texts about the Taoist cultivation system, and the tables and chairs are neatly arranged. Here, children will receive the most basic Taoist education, learning how to sense the flow of spiritual energy within their bodies and mastering fundamental cultivation techniques.
For these young children, this teaching room is not merely a place to learn knowledge, but also the starting point for their journey on the path of spiritual cultivation. Through early education and guidance, they can gradually understand the mysteries of the spiritual cultivation system, thus laying a solid foundation for their future growth.
At this moment, Uchiha Sasuke stood amidst a group of innocent children, their curious and questioning gazes fixed upon him. Each gaze felt like countless fine needles, gently pricking Sasuke's heart, causing him an inexplicable sense of embarrassment. After all, he was widely recognized as one of Konoha's rare geniuses! Now, he was being taught alongside these still-naive children; this stark contrast was almost unbearable for his proud heart.
Despite the turmoil within, Sasuke struggled to maintain a facade of composure. His usually icy face twitched slightly, as if he were desperately suppressing an emotion about to burst forth. As a member of the Uchiha clan, he had grown accustomed to using indifference to mask his true feelings, rarely revealing his genuine emotions. But faced with this situation, even the carefully maintained facade of indifference seemed to falter slightly.
However, for Sasuke, the opinions and views of others were utterly irrelevant. He held an unwavering belief in his heart—to quickly obtain guidance from the training grounds, then rapidly increase his strength, and ultimately realize the long-buried revenge plan. For this, he was willing to temporarily set aside his pride and self-respect, and associate with these young children. Because only by becoming strong enough could he reclaim everything he had lost, and make those who had harmed him and destroyed his clan pay the price.
At this moment, the innocent children present only showed a hint of curiosity in their eyes. After all, this was the first time in their lives that they had witnessed someone slightly older than themselves receiving basic education here! However, their fascination was short-lived. Their curious gazes were quickly intimidated by the stern eyes of the instructor on the stage. The instructor narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze piercing, as if he could see into the depths of each child's heart. The children instantly looked away like startled rabbits, quickly adjusting their posture, each becoming incredibly obedient, not daring to misbehave in the slightest. The entire scene fell silent, with only the instructor's steady and powerful voice echoing in the classroom.
