Chapter 45 Jiraiya
Ino's sister Sakura also has amazing hand speed. Sakura has an 8-point "seal". God knows how she practiced it? It can't be that she practiced hand speed while shouting Sasuke's name at home, right?
Ino's five "seals" were no match for these well-trained guys.
Her fastest record of forming forty-four seals using "Water Style. Water Dragon Bullet" was nineteen seconds. It seemed that compared with those skilled water style ninjas, it was only nine seconds behind, but in fact the gap was too huge.
Old man Gujie also taught her a simplified version of Water Dragon Bullet. If she wanted to use this ninjutsu correctly, even with the tricks of the Second Hokage and old man Gujie's experience, she could only compress the terrifying forty-four seals of Water Dragon Bullet to thirty-nine. If she reduced it further, there would be a great chance of failure when releasing this jutsu.
"Considering your age, this level is already very good. If I had this understanding when I was young, I wouldn't have so many regrets. If a ninjutsu genius like the Second Hokage saw you, he would definitely accept you as his disciple." Ino herself was not satisfied, but the old man praised her every day, making her feel embarrassed.
The 8 points of "Ninjutsu" also have advantages. She has a very strong understanding of ninjutsu and quickly grasped the principle of water dragon bomb. The next step is practice makes perfect.
There are many restrictions when using water-style ninjutsu on the battlefield, but it is very simple to practice. Just find a place with water to practice. It uses natural water as the main component and consumes very little chakra.
In this respect, Fire Style, Lightning Style, and Wind Style are not as good as Water Style and Earth Style. The first three styles are not easy to use with the help of natural environment. Going out to practice Lightning Style when it is thundering? That is simply courting death! Usually, you can only rely on your own chakra to transform fire, lightning, and wind. In this way, the efficiency of practice is slow, but the power of these three styles is stronger than Water Style and Earth Style.
All we can say is that the Five Elements Escape Technique has its pros and cons, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Ino is not the only one who gets special treatment.
Shikamaru's family secret technique is the shadow mimicry technique, as well as a series of secret techniques derived from the shadow mimicry technique.
Like the Yamanaka family, the Nara family possesses the chakra attribute of Yintun.
Shikamaru's highest affinity attribute for chakra is fire, but his training on changing the nature of his chakra is not yet complete, and he will not dabble in fire-style ninjutsu at this stage. After some thought, old man Kosuke taught him an illusion called "Konoha Ryuu".
This is a move that combines swordsmanship and illusion. There is no need to make hand seals. Just wave the sword or kunai in your hand, add your own Yintun chakra, and then make yourself disappear from the enemy's sight, or simply bind the enemy with a ninjutsu.
Shikamaru's ninjutsu ability is just above average, and asking him to learn fire jutsu now would really be a waste of time. If it weren't for the heavy workload on Ino's side, he wouldn't even bother to practice the family's secret techniques.
His talent for illusion is similar to his talent for ninjutsu. This illusion called "Konoha Ryuu" often requires consideration of factors such as the surrounding environment, enemy's sight, lighting, angle, etc. Relatively speaking, it is more suitable for him to use.
Fatty Choji also gained a lot. He learned the cooking skills of old man Gujie! How to find ingredients in the wild, how to add seasonings, how to make soup in the wilderness, when Ino stood by the river and "grunted" to practice water dragon bullets, and Shikamaru gestured at the willow tree with a kunai, his cooking skills were greatly improved. Old man Gujie was not their master. The three of them and their parents would not let their heirs worship Gujie as their master. The master-disciple relationship is extremely important in the entire ninja world and must be handled with great caution. This important "bond" cannot be wasted on an old man who is buried in the dirt.
"Goodbye, Grandpa Gujie! Thank you for your guidance." A week later, the four returned to Konoha Village. They said goodbye to the old man at the entrance of the village. The seventy-year-old man still had to go on patrol duty, so the three of them went back to their homes.
Ino returned home, put down her backpack and went to take a shower.
Living in the wild for a week, doing high-intensity exercise every day, and not being able to take a shower, even a naturally beautiful woman can't stand it.
She smelled a foul odor on Shikamaru and Choji, and she thought she was not much better. After
taking a shower, she washed her ninja outfit, changed into her usual clothes, and strolled down the street, looking for a hot pot.
When she passed by Shueido, she found that the booklet called "Sasuke's Youth Story" was already on the shelf.
She was even more surprised to see a tall man wearing a forehead protector with the word "oil" on it, a red coat, and wooden clogs in the store.
This guy with a lewd expression, is he Jiraiya? Why did he return to Konoha Village? Is he here to see Naruto? Ino had already walked into the bookstore. It would be too suspicious if she turned back now. Fortunately, she didn't use the transformation technique today.
The transformation technique may be able to fool civilians, but the obvious chakra flow on the face cannot be hidden from a master like Jiraiya.
With a glance, she found that Jiraiya was reading "Sasuke's Youth Story". There was no benefit in getting to know Jiraiya now, but there was no harm either. Knowing him was better than not knowing him. After all, the core idea of Konoha Village and the entire ninja world was still "choose capable people from acquaintances, and choose acquaintances from capable people".
Ino immediately put on a fangirl expression and asked the shop assistant with full expectation: "Boss, do you have the latest Sasuke Youth Story?"
The guy was very happy. The book didn't sell very well, but there were indeed quite a few people who bought it, including but not limited to the daimyo's wife, the rich woman, the young woman, the young girl, the nine-tailed boy, and the lsp not far away.
In his opinion, Ino can also be classified as a girl, and he has seen many such fangirls.
"Yes, this book is selling very well right now, and we don't have much stock left. One thousand five hundred taels per copy."
Ino hesitated for a moment, pretending to be embarrassed: "I'm still a student, I really like the books published by Jieitang, but I don't have much money, can you give me two copies? If you can give me three thousand taels, I will help you promote it and give you good reviews!"
Guy: “???”
He was completely confused, and it took him a long time to figure out what was going on. What the hell! We have to pay you? He subconsciously wanted to refuse, but seeing that Ino seemed to be very pitiful, he couldn't bear it.
I was stunned for a moment.
Ino looked at him pitifully, but he was not the actual target at all.
As expected, the lsp not far away laughed out loud: "What a lovely little girl. How about this, as the toad sage of Myoboku Mountain, I will ask you a few questions. If the answers satisfy me, I will pay for you, how about that?"
Ino showed an expression of being careful of perverts, and took three steps back cautiously: "Uncle, ask."
Jiraiya touched his chin, thought about the wording, then held up the "Sasuke Youth Story" and pointed the cover of Sasuke at Ino: "I've seen a lot of women of different ages buy this book these days. Can you give me some advice? Do you think fifty-year-old ladies prefer this kind of expressionless face or a mighty and domineering man like me?"
