Weekend, evening.

Today, Lin Nian came to the mountain flower shop again, wasting a whole day, but also making Xiao Jingye's favorability increase by a few points. Before being seen out, he turned around and said the main purpose of his visit today.

After all, he was indeed a bit strapped for cash, and he certainly wasn't short of money now. That's why he bought four more Willow Leaf Throwing Knives from Tenten's Ninja Tool Shop during this period, and he also improved his relationship with the rich girl Tenten.

Of course, she didn't intend to harm her brother-in-law; it was just that Tian Tian's luck was so good that spending more time with her would allow her to get more good items in her shop.

"Ino, I've been quite busy lately, so I might not have time to force-feed flowers, so..."

A slight disappointment lingered in her pale blue eyes, but Yamanaka Ino, with her gentle nature and keen observation skills, and her naturally strong mental abilities that allowed her to sense the subtle emotions of others, felt the boy's embarrassment and apology.

Although she was slightly disappointed that she would not be able to appreciate such special flowers again in the future, she still smiled gently and comforted the boy who had come to help her and whom she also had feelings for.

"Nianjun, no need! Ino believes you must have your own difficulties."

The sudden electric shock stirred Lin Nian's heart. How to put it? This girl, who has a little bit of her own thoughts but is kind-hearted, beautiful and generous, and can even sense your inner embarrassment, may pose a small challenge in the future, but suddenly she seems even more attractive. What to do?

Silently, Lin Nian took out a bunch of blue-silver flowers that she had specially cultivated, which were more exquisite and beautiful than the previous assembly line flowers. Under the light of the faint blue fluorescence, they were even more beautiful. She handed them to Shan Zhongjingye.

"Although I can no longer produce those flowers in large quantities as before, I still have one flower that I cultivated just for you."

The pale blue fluorescent light reflected off the beautiful woman smiling gently in front of him. Her smooth, long blue hair cascaded down her shoulders, adorned with gold patterns on her gorgeous pale blue robe. She looked like a handsome young boy, which made Yamanaka Ino, who was only moderately attracted to good looks, completely infatuated.

With her innate mimicry activated, Lin Nian's presence suddenly dropped to its lowest level.

By the time Yamanaka Ino realized what was happening, she was already holding a bouquet of blue and silver flowers that had captivated her gaze and heart.

The slight coolness of the breeze on the back of her hand brought a blush to Yamanaka Ino's delicate face.

She shyly tiptoed and then turned back into the flower shop. However, the vase that always held the shop's prized possessions now contained a peculiar bouquet of flowers, making all the flowers in the shop seem more vibrant.

Meanwhile, Lin Nian, who had already activated half of her invisibility cheat and was silently heading home, also admired her own superb skills.

After all, the vitality required to cultivate that bouquet is only about five plants of ordinary blue silver flowers.

To get the most generous returns with the least investment, I must be an investment god!

As for my other somewhat interesting goal? I'll wait a few more years; getting close now would be too monstrous.

"But speaking of which, how much longer do I have to wait for my Blue Silver Grass to cover the entire Land of Fire? Ever since these two beasts came along, its vitality has been a bit insufficient?"

"How about we send another warning signal from the forest, and have Konoha fertilize the entire outer forest of Konoha again? Otherwise, the vitality won't be enough to support them!"

Feeling the pure life force within his body, which had already surpassed that of a Jonin and was about to undergo a transformation.

Feeling that his Qi had been accumulating for nearly ten years, barely reaching the level of a member of the younger generation below the leader, Lin Nian became somewhat dissatisfied again.

After all, Qi is Qi, and combat power is combat power. Right now, I'm just a piece of trash who can at most fight Chunin, and I'd get instantly killed by Jonin. Being around Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, those two famous overpowered characters, I really don't feel safe at all!

As for why he was constantly being killed instantly?

How should I put it? Can I say that I'm incredibly resilient right now? What would be a fatal injury for an ordinary person would at most be considered a serious injury for me now, and I recover incredibly quickly.

Lin Nian, who had personally stabbed himself in the back, certainly had something to say about this.

If it weren't for the fact that I might not be able to endure the hardships of the Eight Gates Formation, then this body would be a perfect match for taijutsu!

Oh, I forgot to mention, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha are already training with Guy! If it weren't for the fact that neither of them could accept the green bodysuit and the watermelon head, Guy would probably have been moved by them and taken them on as his personal disciples.

Moreover, according to rumors, the fact that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and the Uchiha orphan had a sudden lapse in judgment and started practicing taijutsu resulted in the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, using up half a bottle of painkillers that was originally planned to last for more than a year within just a few days.

As for why there's still half a bottle left?

Because his two friends were both mentally unstable, Lin Nian, who was out of place with them, became the last point of reference for Hiruzen Sarutobi to maintain his sanity.

Unfortunately, Lin Nian, who had been honestly hiding until now and had basically succeeded, only lacking protective measures to deal with future enemies, also secretly spent money to stockpile all the painkillers that Hiruzen Sarutobi would need until his death after receiving this inside information.

And isn't this also his filial piety and care for his elders? It must be!

Feeling that the amount of Qi in his body was already the limit for his current age in a short period of time, Lin Nian used his innate Qi to create a physical grass clone with only one level of his own power to deal with Umino Iruka.

He himself quietly went to the Tenten Ninja Tool Shop, where, under the care of a familiar middle-aged man, he spent a huge sum of money to buy a thousand-year-old ironwood heart that was even harder than pure steel.

Then, they found a highly skilled craftsman and spent nearly a month perfectly replicating the physique of an adult male.

Afterwards, they even went to Hinata and Neji's brother-in-law to use their professional knowledge to mark various acupoints and meridian systems on the solid wood dummy made of ironwood.

Therefore, the Hyuga clan used this as an excuse to completely monopolize this business, since the business opportunities available to them would be enormous after they did this.

Of course, his identity as the creator also brought him some conveniences, namely that if he, Naruto Uzumaki, and Sasuke Uchiha needed such mannequins again in the future, they could directly go to the Hyuga clan to get them.

During those few days, Lin Nian also had several intense and physical exchanges with Neji's brother-in-law, but unfortunately, he couldn't wake up the person who was too obsessed for the time being.
