Naruto: Max out your physical skills and surpass the Six Paths!

an hour passed

Four people sat around the fire and ate barbecue.

Hinata Jingkong ate the meat with big mouthfuls and said, "I lost again."

Bai An: "Well, there is no such thing as losing or not. It's just a process of finding out the gaps and filling them up."

Hinata Jingkong turned to Itachi and said, "Itachi, when can I ask you for advice?"

Itachi: "You really can't stop. I use a sword, so we are not suitable for sparring."

Hinata Jingkong wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said, "There is no conflict. I prefer to grow in actual combat rather than in quiet training."

Bai Eucalyptus: "Then you are quite suitable for traveling."

Hinata Jingkong asked in confusion, "Traveling? Why?"

Bai Yan: "Do you like being a ninja? You just want to challenge the masters, right?"

Hinata Jingkong: "Really."

Bai An: "You see, it doesn't matter if you become a ninja or not. Isn't it better to travel around?"

Hinata Jingkong listened to it and said disappointedly, "It makes sense, but it's probably hopeless."

White Eucalyptus: "Family reasons?"

Hinata Jingkong: "Yeah."

Bai Eucalyptus: "Can you be the patriarch?"

Hinata Jingkong was puzzled and said, "No."

Bai An: "Then why are you still worrying about it? Since you can't be the clan leader, then you can't change the atmosphere that you don't like. Besides, there are so many people in your clan, one more and one less won't make much difference, your role is dispensable."

Hinata Jingkong twitched his lips and said, "Well... this sounds very hurtful, but it seems to make sense."

When Itachi heard Bai An's words, he smiled unkindly and said:

"This is the first time I've heard someone give such advice."

Bai An: "Tsk, what do you know? He is different from you."

Itachi's smile disappeared and there was a look of sadness on his face.

Bai Eucalyptus will not miss this opportunity.

Bai An: "Hey, why aren't you smiling? Are you born not to like smiling?"

After Bai An finished speaking, he was about to continue eating the meat when suddenly a cold light flashed and Bai An instantly appeared five meters away.

Bai An: "Hey, you can't afford to play, right? Besides, didn't I give you two some ideas?"

Uchiha Itachi put away his sword and said, "It's not possible for now. It will take some time to change some people's minds."

Bai An returned to his original position. "There is no other way. I can't offer any substantial help. You two can only rely on yourselves."

Turning his head to look at Hinata Jingkong sitting there in a daze, Bai An asked, "What are you doing? Are you full? It seems that you haven't eaten as much as Sasuke."

Hinata Jingkong came back to his senses and said, "It's okay, I just thought of something."

He was shocked when Uchiha Itachi drew his sword just now. In one word, fast, too fast. He didn't even see the movement. By the time he reacted, Itachi had already put away the sword.

Hinata Jingkong thought to himself, "Is this his real strength? Can Bai An even react to this speed? In other words, Bai An let down a lot in the previous fight."

Then he smiled and said, "It seems that I found the right person, but aren't these two too low-key..."

Uchiha Sasuke was eating meat leisurely, so fast that he didn't see what was happening.

The four of them finished eating and left.

Hokage's Office

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the crystal ball in his hand and said to himself

"It's a good match. This Hinata Jingkong seems to be from the Hiashi lineage. He's also a genius. By the way, why are the students in these years so low-key?"

"Bai boy, you seem to have made some progress. That golden light should have a defensive effect. I haven't seen it before. Could it be a new ninjutsu that Jiraiya developed and taught him?"

"This...this sword-drawing speed, even without chakra, he can achieve this effect. I wonder why Danzo wants to take him in."

"It seems that I have to observe carefully recently. I wonder how many geniuses are hiding..."

Time goes by

One semester is over and the college is on vacation.

Back Mountain

Five people are practicing. Oh, yes, there is also a turtle practicing.

The originally deserted back mountain became lively. The four people often practiced with each other whenever they had time. As for Sasuke, he could fight against White Eucalyptus's turtle on equal terms.

This turtle gave Bai An a big surprise. It was very smart, and learned most of Bai An's moves. Although it only learned the forms, that was enough. The best he used was Bajiquan, and today he even successfully extracted chakra.

Bai Eu was sitting on the ground watching Sasuke and Oogway fighting hard.

Itachi came up to him and said, "Where did you pick up this turtle? You learn things so quickly."

Bai Eucalyptus: "I was also surprised. At first I thought it was just a strange turtle, but I didn't expect..."

Before he finished speaking, he shouted at Sasuke, "Sasuke, pay attention to the strength of your waist. Don't learn from your brother. He is not doing his job properly. That's right, this hip thrust is good."

Itachi's face was full of black lines. "What's the point of carrying a gun and a stick? You're asking for a fight."

Bai An: "What are you talking about? I'm just giving you guidance. Look at how fast Sasuke is improving. And look at you. You've reached a bottleneck, right?"

After hearing this, Itachi sat down next to the white eucalyptus, leaned against the tree, and said, "Yeah, my chakra seal has loosened a lot, maybe it will break automatically after this vacation."

Bai An was a little shocked when he heard this. "That means it was at least three or four years earlier!"

Itachi: "Yeah, yes."

"If we let nature take its course, there shouldn't be any problem."

Then he smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to it. After all, it's more fun to spar with each other that way."

Itachi glanced at Bai Yan and said, "You are just like Hinata Jingkong, both of you are battle maniacs."

Bai An retorted, "Come on, you're not much better. After sparring with us, you went to spar with Brother Shisui. You're quite busy."

Itachi: "Tsk, what are your plans for this vacation?"

Bai An held his head with both hands and lay on the ground. "I have no idea."

Itachi also lay down and thought.

At this time, Hinata Jingkong appeared in front of them.

Bai Eucalyptus: "Young man, you are blocking the clouds I want to see."

Hinata Jingkong: "I've been listening to you two talking for a long time. I have an idea. Let's go traveling."

Bai An: "Why, you have come to terms with it now."

Hinata Jingkong: "Yeah, I've heard you talk about bandit suppression training before, I think it's very interesting."

Itachi said, "Have you ever seen blood?"

Hinata Jingkong: "I have been to the battlefield of World War III, don't worry about that. Although it was already in the final stage when I went there, I have seen everything I should have seen."

Bai An: "That's no problem. It's good to travel a little. People should see more of the world."

Itachi: "Yeah, okay."

Uchiha Izumi came over and said, "Traveling? That sounds interesting."

Hinata Jingkong said excitedly, "Since you all feel good, let's take action."

Itachi said, "Let's take action the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow is New Year's Day."

Hinata Jingkong: "Oh, I forgot about that. The day after tomorrow will be fine."

After saying this, they continued to practice.

Bai An did not continue to practice. He just lay there looking at the sky, not saying anything as if he was thinking about something.

Itachi realized something and didn't disturb him. He got up and went to practice.

next day

Every household is extremely festive and lively. On the contrary, Bai An's house is lonely and cold.

Bai An was cleaning the house when suddenly someone knocked on the door.

“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”

Bai An opened the door and said in surprise

"Grandpa Hokage."

Sarutobi Hiruzen "Well, it's New Year, I came to see you."

Bai An: "Come in, I just finished cleaning the house and am preparing to cook."

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Oh, you can cook, let me try it."

Bai An thought, "Okay, okay, I'm here to eat for free."

Then he smiled and said, "No problem."

After saying that, he went to the kitchen, and soon three dishes were ready.

Two people eating

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Your craftsmanship is excellent."

Bai An smiled and said, "You're too kind. I'm the only one at home, so I'm more independent."

Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Bai An, do you remember I told you about graduating early?"

Bai An thought, "Okay, it's not just for free meals."

"Yeah, remember."

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "I watched your assessment competition. With your ability, there is no need for you to stay in school any longer. Tell me what you think."

Bai An thought to himself, "You're giving me a way out."

"Grandpa Hokage, I want to postpone my graduation for two years for two reasons. One is that my family has a custom that when an elder dies, the direct descendants need to observe mourning for three years. The other reason is that teacher Jiraiya said that I am not mentally competent enough and am not suitable for graduating early."

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a moment, then said, "Good boy, you know filial piety."

"I promise you."

After eating, Sarutobi Hiruzen left.

Bai An: "Go see mom and make a few more dishes."

Bai An made three more dishes, bought two bottles of wine, and then went to the cemetery.

Bai An came to the tombstone, sat on the ground, put the food and wine on the table, and said

"Mom, try the food I cooked, I guarantee you'll be satisfied... I can't drink this wine with you, I'll have a drink instead of wine... This bottle is for dad, I don't know what dad is doing, it's been more than a year, and he hasn't replied, but with dad's ability, it shouldn't be a problem..."

At this moment, a hand suddenly reached out and placed a bouquet of flowers in front of the tombstone.

Bai An said without even turning his head, "Here, there are chopsticks in the bag."

Itachi sat down, poured a glass of wine, and toasted to the tombstone of Baigan's mother before drinking it.

Itachi said, "I said, you don't know how to drink?"

Bai An said helplessly, "No, I won't be able to control myself after drinking it, and then this cemetery will be destroyed."

"When did you come?"

Itachi: "I've been here for quite some time. I went to your house to look for you, but you weren't there. I wanted to invite you to my house for dinner."

Bai An was somewhat touched. After all, who would refuse the feeling of being cared for?

"Or I'll cry for you."

Itachi rolled his eyes and said, "Let's go."

Bai An complained as he packed up his things, "You've been rolling your eyes all day. Why don't you exchange eyes with Hinata Jingkong? I think you're quite suitable for rolling your eyes."

Itachi "Don't make me slap you here."

Bai Eucalyptus: "Tsk, let's go, I've prepared my stomach."

On the way there, Bai An bought some gifts and carried them to the door of the Uchiha clan leader's residence, where he happened to meet Uchiha Izumi.

Itachi said, "It's just right for us to be together."

Uchiha Izumi felt a little embarrassed and looked at the gift in Bai An's hand.

Bai An smiled and said, "Here, take it. After all, you are meeting your future mother-in-law."

The words "future mother-in-law" made Uchiha Izumi blush, and Bai An got a big slap on the neck from Uchiha Itachi.

Uchiha Itachi's face was also a little red at this time, and he said, "Don't talk nonsense."

The three entered the mansion and Sasuke ran out

"Brother Bai, Sister Quan, they are here."

Bai An: "Not bad, this outfit is really cool."

Several people entered the house

Uchiha Mikoto saw the two and welcomed them gently, "Hey, Bai An is here. This must be Izumi."
