Location: The grove where Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha usually train.
Lin Nian, who had just released the Blue Silver Grass and absorbed a large amount of life force from Naruto Uzumaki in his One-Tailed form, thus unlocking a new way to obtain life force, silently poured his life force into the dummy body, which was carved from the heartwood of a thousand-year-old ironwood tree and marked with numerous acupoints and meridians, making it a supreme treasure in a sense, after reserving enough for his own daily needs. This stimulated the dummy's own vitality.
Then, twelve Immortal-Slaying Flying Knives, in a sudden attack with almost no movement, sparked as they struck the ironwood.
To be honest, in reality, this thousand-year-old ironwood heartwood is much more expensive than steel, but compared to steel, it has more vitality, making it worth Lin Nian's gamble.
After all, what if it comes back to life? Wouldn't that make a perfect family heirloom?
The throwing knife, which made almost no noise, sparked as it struck the dummy. However, due to its hard and tough material, and the life force that Lin Nian had been continuously supplying to it, no wounds appeared.
In response, countless dummies had been destroyed during the training. Now, every time Naruto went to the Hyuga clan, he would be met with the clan's Byakugan. Naruto was very envious and then turned his attack on the boulder.
There's no way around it, wooden dummies really aren't durable! Especially since his body's absorption rate of the Nine-Tails' chakra has increased dramatically for some reason, and he's currently in a critical period where his physical condition is changing every day.
As for why Sasuke Uchiha didn't feel anything? Because he had nothing to hide, he wasn't after the other party's cabbage, and he always understood the manufacturing principle of this thing. Moreover, if he were really provoked, he would have money, goods, and technology, and he could make it himself and then squeeze the Hyuga clan out of power.
Therefore, he was fully confident in treating a group of people with cataracts, even those with conjunctivitis!
As for Naruto Uzumaki? Ever since that silly kid was drawn to Hinata Hyuga from his memories and tried to get closer to her for a while, he can no longer hold his head up in the Hyuga clan. No matter when he goes there, he will be subjected to the clan's disdain.
In response, Lin Nian, who had used the budding romance between Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga as a bridge to truly meet and get to know the tiny Hanabi, and who was having a pleasant conversation with her future father-in-law, showed a look of disdain.
The sudden surge of memories made Lin Nian, who was still training, brighten up. After forcibly calming his breathing, he silently canceled the mimicry talent targeting the entire Hyuga clan's Blue Silver Grass.
After all, if a plant has a low profile for too long, it will attract the attention of those who care.
"Hey, Universe? If I suck in this, won't I end up like a caged bird myself?"
Having just committed a bad deed, Lin Nian felt somewhat uneasy, fearing some ominous and sinister force.
However, his peculiar feelings after doing something bad were basically not hidden from the system, causing the system to remain silent for a moment before finally saying quietly, "No."
After all, this year's collaborators are a bit difficult to manage. If you want to scold them, you'd better enrich your vocabulary, otherwise scolding them is the same as not scolding them at all, and it's even more uncomfortable.
Perhaps due to an overconfidence in the fact that his entire clan suffered from cataracts, the huge cemetery was completely devoid of any warning barriers.
Moreover, there was a clear difference in treatment between the main family and the branch family at the cemetery. At least the main family had ninjas casually slacking off and guarding it, while the branch family...
They're probably all dead by now, right? Anyway, after observing for so long, there are hardly any people from the branch family who go to pay their respects.
The remaining Hyuga chakra in the corpse was absorbed by the roots of the Blue Silver Grass and then gathered together.
With a continuous supply of life force, the system circulated several times through the Blue Silver Network that was almost covering the Land of Fire, clearing away any potential threats with the help of natural forces.
A peculiar energy, replenished and purified by the immense life force and primordial Qi, slowly entered his body.
The profound changes at the genetic level made Lin Nian somewhat drowsy.
After controlling the twelve throwing knives back into his ninja tool pouch, he greeted Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, then ran to a shady corner and fell fast asleep.
The two, who were already used to this, were not surprised at all. After all, Lin Nian's habit of suddenly sleeping for several days every now and then was known throughout Konoha.
As a special being who may have become half-human and half-grass, genetic modification that would be incredibly difficult for ordinary people seems to him to be just some kind of strange evolution, or rather, it is just a kind of genetic completion that belongs to the Otsutsuki clan.
As evening approached, the two, who were already panting heavily, stopped their training and found that their friend was still asleep. After exchanging a glance, they each helped Lin Nian to one side and headed towards the Uchiha clan's territory.
As for whether doing this will trigger Konoha's highest alert level? The entire village will be mobilized to exterminate the demon fox and the evil Uchiha brat, and rescue their new hope for Konoha, one of the last two orphans of the Senju clan?
Are you kidding me?
They've been experiencing that blatant telescope spying technique, right in front of you, for countless days now.
If Hiruzen Sarutobi truly didn't want the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and the Wood Release inheritor to stay with the Uchiha clan, he should have sent out a few Anbu members to take them away.
Meanwhile, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been observing with his telescope for a long time, also took two more painkillers because of the headache.
Although Lin Nian's ability to manipulate ninja tools out of thin air was impressive, couldn't you at least practice your Wood Release properly?
Is it that Hashirama Senju's reputation has faded, or is it that the enormous amount of unique chakra within you isn't enough for you?
(After the devastation caused by the Otsutsuki clan, almost all the energy in the ninja world can be considered a type of chakra, and this versatile and unique energy does indeed resonate with many other energies.)
Thinking of this, and then of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and the Uchiha orphan who were now focused on mastering taijutsu, the headache that had just been relieved by painkillers immediately flared up again.
Enraged, Hiruzen Sarutobi swallowed a few more painkillers before calming down a bit.
Meanwhile, several long-term missions away from the village were quickly added to the list of tasks by Hiruzen Sarutobi, both in his mind and on paper, and applied to Guy, who was full of enthusiasm and youthful exuberance every day.
After all, the entire Hidden Leaf Village is now reduced to just these three precious darlings. If they all get led astray by Guy...
As he thought about these things, three monstrous figures—wearing green bodysuits, with blue, yellow, and black watermelon-shaped haircuts, radiating youthful energy, and recklessly scattering their passion—appeared in his mind.
Forced to open the painkiller bottle, Hiruzen Sarutobi, whose head was throbbing again, frantically poured the painkillers into his mouth.
