Konoha Thief

405 - One-twentieth
The cool breeze blows at night, blowing the pedestrians very comfortably.

The aroma of Yile Ramen is far better than the light sign, attracting several waves of customers, Natsuki and Maruhoshi Kosuke are one of them.

Kosuke Maruhoshi thanked his opponent, took out his chopsticks and flipped the ramen, and said to Natsuki, "It must have been hard work for more than a year."

"Most of the time is leisurely, although it is relatively hard work." Xia Shu shrugged, not hiding much from Maruhoshi Kosuke, provoked the ramen to cool down a little, took a big mouthful of satisfaction, suddenly remembered something, and asked : "By the way, Master, how are Haifeng and Xiyan doing now?"

"Xiyan is very obedient, her talent in swordsmanship is second only to you, and even higher than Haifeng. In the future, even if she is slightly lacking in other aspects, she will be able to become a special Jnin with her swordsmanship. As for Haifeng..."

When he said this, the smile on Maruhoshi Kosuke's face disappeared, and turned to worry.

"It really is Gale." Xia Shu was not surprised by this, and said with interest: "What's wrong with him?"

"He's about to puncture my foolishness." Kosuke Maruhoshi sighed while holding his forehead, and said with a wry smile, "I've used all the foolishness I can think of in a year, and it was very effective at first, but then I was skeptical. So far it's been utterly skeptical."

"Just questioning?" Xia Shu raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Isn't it enough to question?" Hearing Natsuki's indifferent tone, Maruhoshi Kosuke asked doubtfully.

"The little ghost Haifeng's obsession with practicing swordsmanship stems from the decline of Moonlight. He wants to support the future of the entire family with his own strength, so he is too aggressive and disregards himself. He found out by relying on the scrolls left by the family elders. His immature cultivation methods will make him overwhelmed one day, and cause hidden injuries to himself that are too late to regret."

Xia Shu smiled and said slowly: "Moreover, the Moonlight Clan has the limit of the Transcendent Blood Inheritance. Although the previous generation did not have ninjas to open it, I think Hayate has this potential. I have looked through the relevant information and know that the Transcendent Blood Successor Boundary has the side effect of dragging down the body, so if he is allowed to ignore physical training, his potential will be exhausted early, and his untimely death is almost a certainty."

"After hearing what you said, I'm even more worried." Maruhoshi Kosuke said with a serious face.

"Don't worry." Xia Shu said with a chuckle, "It doesn't matter if you're fooling around, Gaifeng can follow you to practice for a year, and some things have changed quietly. Isn't the so-called habit just that you have been doing something for a long time? Was it formed?"

Kosuke Maruyoshi was thoughtful when he heard the words, and asked, "You mean Haifeng now knows that step-by-step cultivation is the right way?"

"That's it." Xia Shu took a sip of ramen and said: "But after all, it's a child, it's best not to puncture him directly, you can teach him a few moves of swordsmanship first, didn't you show your swordsmanship in front of him as I told you? In addition, it is almost time for him to get in touch with Chakra, and he may open the limit of the blood-through escape at any time. I want a physical training technique from Tsunade-sama, which is just suitable for Haifeng cultivation. You can pass it to him later .”

"Yeah." Maruhoshi Kosuke breathed a sigh of relief, and said with emotion: "Oh! It turns out that you are so thoughtful."

"I didn't have time to elaborate at that time." Xia Shu said shyly.

"Hehe!" Maruhoshi Kosuke shook his head with a smile, and then said, "Are there any missions to come?"

"I don't know yet." Xia Shu shook his head and said, "Next, there is something to do at the root. As for whether we need to go to various battlefields, it depends on whether Master Danzo has any new orders."

"I don't know how long the war will last." Kosuke Maruhoshi said with emotion.

"It will be over soon." Xia Shu said with certainty.

After eating ramen, the two parted ways in front of Ichiraku Gate. From here, you only need to go east to Maruho Kosuke's house, and Natsuki's house is in the southeast of the village, so you have to go south for a while.

Back in the elegant courtyard, Xia Shu called Kodak to come out and gave it the food he brought back.

Of course, this time it's not roast duck.

Although the duck is a Pokémon, it is not the same species as those ducks that are roasted, stewed, roasted, steamed, stir-fried, or fried, and they are not even in the same world. Maybe he doesn't understand, but it's too evil to force him to eat roast duck.

Xia Shu had a deep reflection on this, and Koda Ya finally felt the sincerity of the master with all his head covered. He stared at the eyes like black dots and nodded violently, sweating out of excitement.

"Stay in the house and don't run around, or..."

Xia Shu smiled all over his face and moved his five fingers. Koda Ya nodded excitedly, very skilled.

"quack!"

"What are you talking about? I have been away from home for more than a year and you can even learn human language." Xia Shu muttered.

Lock the door on the outside, and then he will try the immortal art practice in the wet bone forest, so he can't be too cautious.

From the porch to the backyard, and to the open space, he bit his fingertips and broke the seals of his hands.

"Ninja, Psychic Technique!"

Bang! ~
A puff of smoke rises, summoning fat slugs.

"Slug, please teach me fairy art." Xia Shu looked at Slug and said solemnly.

"Is it fairy art?" Slug said in a glutinous voice, "The fairy art of Shibone Forest has special healing effects, and Natsuki's medical ninjutsu meets the requirements."

Xia Shu smiled satisfied when he heard the words, and asked, "Do I need to make any preparations before starting?"

"As long as you are ready, you can start at any time." The slug shook its tentacles.

"Huh?" Xia Shu raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and his face was full of question marks because of the irrelevant words.

"The practice of immortality in Shishibone Forest is different from Miaomu Mountain and Longdi Cave. The first step is to directly infuse the practitioner with natural energy, so are you ready?" Slug slowly explained.

"What will happen after injecting natural energy?" Xia Shu quickly organized his thoughts and asked the most critical question at the moment.

"The natural energy of the Wetbone Forest is corrosive, so if you can't control it, the worst result will be to be corroded and melted by the natural energy." The slug said softly, "Of course, the first step is just a test. It will be reduced to the lowest level, about one-twentieth of the natural energy of Wetbone Forest."

"One-twentieth?" Xia Shu muttered, but he could not help but feel a little shudder in his mind as he melted like a wax figure, and then he asked the slug: "This kind of test tests the chakra. The degree of manipulation? Also, has Tsunade-sensei also tested it?"

"That's right, Natsuki, you are as smart as Tsunade-sama said." Slug nodded, and said: "Tsunade-sama did test it and passed it, but he went on a business trip during the subsequent training, but It is precisely because of that mistake that Baihao's technique was created."
