"Ino-chan, I'll have to trouble you with the rest of the time!"
Looking at Yamanaka Ino's shadow clone, Lin Nian raised the hand she had been holding and shook it.
This caused Ino's main body to feel a little embarrassed, and also prompted her clone to hum a few times with a hint of resentment, giving Lin Nian a little eye roll.
Then, right in front of Lin Nian and Yamanaka Ino, it pounced on Lin Nian's grass clone, causing the grass clone, which was silently cultivating, to reluctantly open its eyes.
Yamanaka Ino, who never imagined that her shadow clone could be so bold, turned to run away after seeing this, but her wrist was grabbed and she ran away with Lin Nian.
"You can keep this energy for now, and please leave me alone."
Compared to the original body, the avatar, seemingly more divine than human and more focused on self-improvement, silently replenished Yamanaka Ino's shadow clone with a burst of energy, hoping that she would spare her for the sake of this energy.
Unfortunately, the concept of shadow clones, to some extent, is indeed somewhat...
"No, I want you to stay with me!"
"I need to fix..."
Ino's shadow clone tightly restrained Lin Nian's grass clone from behind, attempting to suppress it with absolute power and, with its still unwavering strength, try to disrupt the grass clone's Dao heart.
Leaving aside the grass clone, which seems to have been defeated by Ino's shadow clone, Lin Nian and Yamanaka Ino, who are the main bodies of the two, have already run a distance.
When the two of them finally had time to observe their surroundings, the Tenten Ninja Tool Shop, which was located on the most prosperous central street of Konoha and not far from here, came into their view.
At this moment, Hyuga Neji, whose serious expression softened slightly and who had a sliver of hope for the future, was confidently sent out by Tenten.
"Hey, Lin Nian, you...you guys...oh!"
A glint of gossip flashed in Tian Tian's eyes. After a moment of stunned silence, it was as if she had thought of something. Her gaze instantly became enthusiastic.
Unfortunately, she only realized it after she saw the strange looks that Yamanaka Ino and Lin Nian were giving her and Hyuga Neji.
As someone who enjoys gossip, it seems that while I'm getting my share of gossip, I've also become the gossip myself.
After greeting Tenten warmly and exchanging a few words, Lin Nian turned her gaze to Hyuga Neji, who now seemed to have a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
Neji Hyuga's gaze had somehow drifted towards him.
For some reason, a fighting spirit arose within them. After exchanging a glance, the two, as if by telepathy, headed towards the small forest where Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto were training.
In response, Yamanaka Ino and Tenten, who witnessed the two suddenly aligning their brainwaves, both revealed smiles that showed signs of utter disarray.
After exchanging glances, Tian Tian immediately closed the shop door. As for whether closing the shop for a day would affect business...
It's just a loss of a few customers. Do you even know how valuable a rich woman is?
The infinitely weakened version of Indra's Arrow and the Tailed Beast Ball Rasengan dissipated at the moment they were about to collide. Their extremely terrifying senses made the two of them realize instantly that someone had entered their territory.
Calming their chakra, which had been boiling over from the previous battle, Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki silently withdrew their two-tomoe Sharingan and One-Tailed forms, and turned their gazes toward the direction from which the two energies had come.
"Judging from the amount of chakra, he should be a Chunin. Wait, this aura... didn't Lin Nian say he was taking a break today?"
Opening his closed eyes, the cool guy with his arms crossed silently deactivated his Uchiha sensory jutsu and looked at Naruto Uzumaki, who was now crouching down with his eyes closed and his hands on the ground.
"The other chakra feels very familiar to me; it should be from the Hyuga clan. But since Anian brought it here, it must be from our generation. That leaves only one possibility."
"Hyuga Neji!"
The two shared their speculations, and shortly after they finished speaking, two figures, one in blue and one in white, came into view.
However, unlike Hyuga Neji's standard ninja run with its leaping movements, Lin Nian directly stepped on two willow-leaf throwing knives and swept all the way.
Meanwhile, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been spying on Konoha from the main street all the way here using the Crystal Ball Technique and had witnessed the potential of the rising star in his plan, gave a kind smile, then rubbed his forehead with a helpless expression.
After all, flying ninjutsu is always extremely precious in the ninja world, and his follow-up plan has never stopped ever since Lin Nian first came into contact with the throwing knife.
But as a result, the person had already practiced throwing knives to the point where they could actually step on them and fly, while their own follow-up team hadn't even learned how to control objects with their mind.
Thinking of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked resentfully at the Root organization. After all, whenever he found a good prospect, Danzo Shimura would come and argue with him, but for Rinsen Senju, the old man didn't seem to have any interest at all! This was abnormal!
(Shimura Danzo: "Isn't that obvious? Don't you know who raised him? Yamato! I raised him!")
Hiruzen Sarutobi, who never expected his old friend to have a change of heart, overlooked this crucial point. After all, the way Danzo Shimura raised Yamato was practically like raising a killing machine; no normal person could see any father-son affection in him.
But then Yamato actually developed feelings for Shimura Danzo, and his old friend actually fell in love with him too! Are you kidding me?
However, seeing his son return to Konoha and the achievements he had made during this time, Sarutobi Hijō finally put down his worries and happily took a puff of his pipe.
"The Ino-Shika-Cho trio have already reached an agreement with me. Once they graduate, I will arrange for them to join Asuma's team. With their support, Asuma's path should be smoother. Although the fifth generation is out of the question, the sixth generation is still a possibility."
"Moreover, he and that girl from the Yuhi family seem to be developing quite well. She's good at illusions and perception. Perfect, the little ones from the Inuzuka, Aburame, and Hyuga families can be led by her."
"With the support of these six clans, even the fifth generation could compete. However, Asuma's strength still can't suppress his contemporaries!"
"Wait, what's the name of that boy from the Younv family?"
The strain of thinking caused my migraine, which had been lingering for a while, to flare up again.
He reached into the drawer but found nothing. Just as he was about to call the ANBU to buy him a bottle of painkillers, one of the ANBU members was already kneeling in front of him with a small box of painkillers in his arms.
"Lord Hokage, these are things that Lord Senju Ryoun specially prepared for you when he came to see you last time. He said he would give them to you after you finished using them."
In response, he recalled that a few days ago, Senju Ryoun had made a special trip to the Hokage Building to show him the results of his training.
My mood, which had just calmed down, immediately became extremely complicated, and my head started to ache even more.
