Chapter 45: Chapter 45 Jiraiya
Chapter 45 Jiraiya
Ino's plastic sister, Sakura, also has amazing hand speed. Sakura has an 8-point "seal". God knows how she practiced it? Could it be that she practiced her hand speed at home while shouting Sasuke's name?
Ino's 5-point "seal" is completely incomparable to these well-trained guys.
Her fastest record of forming forty-four seals using "Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet" is nineteen seconds. It seems that she is only nine seconds behind those skilled water-style ninjas, but in fact the gap is too big.
Old man Kosuke also taught her a simplified version of the Water Dragon Bullet. To use this ninjutsu correctly, even with the second Hokage's tricks and old man Kosuke's experience, she can only compress the terrifying forty-four seals of the Water Dragon Bullet to thirty-nine. If she reduces it further, there will be a high chance of failure when releasing this technique.
"At your age, this level is already very good. When I was young, if I had this kind of understanding, I wouldn't have so many regrets. If the second Hokage, a ninjutsu genius, saw you, he would definitely accept you as a disciple." Ino was not satisfied with herself, but the old man praised her every day, making her feel embarrassed.
8 points in "Ninjutsu" also has its advantages. She has a very strong understanding of ninjutsu. She quickly grasped the principle of the Water Dragon Bullet, and the next step is to become proficient.
Water Style ninjutsu has many limitations when used on the battlefield, but it is very simple to practice. Just find a place with water to practice. Using natural water as the main body 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 the natural environment. Go out to practice Lightning Style when it thunders? That's completely 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 Release techniques is stronger than that of water Release and earth Release.
It can only be said that the five elements Release technique has advantages and disadvantages,1 each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Ino is not the only one who takes extra lessons.
Shikamaru's family secret technique is the Shadow Imitation Technique, and a series of secret techniques derived from the Shadow Imitation Technique.
Like the Yamanaka family, the Nara family also possesses the Yin Release chakra attribute.
Shikamaru himself has the highest affinity for fire attribute chakra, but his chakra nature change training has not yet been completed, and he will not dabble in fire style ninjutsu at this stage. After some thinking, old man Kosuke taught him a kind of illusion called "Konoha-Style Willow".
This is a move that combines swordsmanship and illusion. There is no need to form seals. Waving the sword or kunai in your hand, add your own Yin Release chakra, and then make yourself disappear from the enemy's sight, or simply restrain the enemy with a ninjutsu.
Shikamaru's ninjutsu talent is only above average. It would be a waste of time for him to learn Fire Style now. If Ino wasn't so hardworking here, he wouldn't even bother to practice the family secret technique.
His talent for illusion is similar to his talent for ninjutsu. This "Konoha-Style Willow" illusion requires more consideration of the surrounding environment, the enemy's line of sight, lighting, angle and other factors. Relatively speaking, it is more suitable for him to2 use.
The chubby Choji also gained a lot. He learned the old man Kosuke's cooking skills! How to find ingredients in the wild, how to add seasonings, how to make soup in the wilderness. When Ino was practicing the Water Dragon Bullet by the river, and Shikamaru was gesticulating at the willow tree with a kunai, his cooking skills were greatly improved.
Old man Kosuke is not their master, and the three of them and their parents will not let their heirs worship Kosuke as their master. The relationship between master and apprentice is extremely important in the entire ninja world, and it must be treated with caution. This important "bond" cannot be wasted on an old man buried in the ground.
"Goodbye Grandpa Kosuke! Thank you for your guidance." A week later, the four returned to Konoha Village. They bid farewell to the old man at the entrance of the village. The seventy-year-old man had to go to perform patrol duties, and the three of them went back to their respective homes.
Ino returned home, put down her backpack and went to take a shower.
After living in the wild for a week, doing high-intensity training every day, and unable to take a bath, even a natural beauty couldn't stand it.
She smelled a sour smell on Shikamaru and Choji, and she guessed that she was not much better.
After taking a shower, she washed all her ninja clothes, changed into her usual clothes, and strolled down the street, looking for a place to eat.
When passing by Shueisha, she found that the booklet called "Sasuke's Youth Story" had already been put on the shelves.
She was even more surprised to find a tall man wearing an "oil" forehead protector, a red coat, and clogs in the store.
This guy with a wretched expression, is it Jiraiya? Why did he return to Konoha Village? Is it to see Naruto?
Ino had already stepped into the bookstore, it would be too suspicious to turn back now, luckily she didn't use the Transformation Technique today.
The Transformation Technique can fool ordinary people, but the obvious chakra flow on the face cannot be hidden from a master like Jiraiya.
Glancing from the corner of her eye, she found that Jiraiya was flipping through "Sasuke's Youth Story". There is no benefit in getting to know Jiraiya now, but there is no harm either. It is better to know than not to know. After all, the core idea of Konoha Village and the entire ninja world is still "choose capable people from acquaintances, and choose acquaintances from capable people".
Ino immediately put on a fan girl expression, with full of expectation, and asked the shop assistant: "Boss, is there the latest Sasuke's Youth Story?"
The clerk was very happy. This book is not a big hit, but there are indeed many people who buy it, including but not limited to the daimyo's wife, rich woman, young woman, young girl, the Nine-Tails boy and the hermit and pervert not far away.
In his opinion, Ino can also be classified as a young girl, and he has seen many such fans.
"Yes, this book is selling very well now, and we don't have much stock left, 1,500 Ryo a copy."
Ino twisted twice, pretending to be very embarrassed: "I'm still a student, I like the books published by your Shueisha very much, but I don't have much money, can you give me two copies for free? If you can give me three thousand Ryo, I will help you promote and give you a good review!"
Clerk: "???"
He was confused, and it took him a long time to understand. Good guy! We have to pay you extra? He subconsciously wanted to refuse, but seeing Ino's pitiful appearance, he couldn't bear it.
He was stunned for a moment.
Ino looked at him pitifully, but her real target was not him at all.
Sure enough, the hermit and pervert not far away laughed loudly: "What a cute little girl, well, as the Toad Sage of Mount Myoboku, let me ask you a few questions. If the answer satisfies me, I will pay for you, how about it?"
Ino showed an expression of being wary of a pervert, and took three steps back vigilantly: "...Uncle, just ask."
Jiraiya rubbed his chin, thought about his words, then held up the "Sasuke's Youth Story", with Sasuke's cover facing Ino: "I've seen many women of different ages come to buy this book these days, come and give me some advice, do you think a fifty-year-old woman likes this paralyzed face or a mighty and domineering man like me?"
