Konoha: Starting with a sign-in for Hashirama cells

"Huh?" Naruto snapped out of his daze and looked blankly at Sakura, who had caught up with him and reminded him.

Gradually, thoughts related to cultivation were suppressed and replaced by memories related to Sakura, which erupted like a geyser.

"..." Naruto.

Chapter 31 has no other merits.

The dog leash couldn't be fastened.

Naruto resisted fiercely.

Sakura herself felt that the dog leash alone wouldn't be enough to restrain Naruto.

Let alone a mere dog leash, even if you used a chain ten times stronger, it would be difficult to change Naruto's habits if he didn't cooperate.

Therefore, Sakura stopped insisting on keeping the dog on a leash and simply told Naruto that if she found out he was secretly staying up all night to train behind her back, he would be dead.

Naruto nodded solemnly in agreement, but his mind was wandering.

Daily basic exercise.

Wear load-bearing equipment when performing tasks.

The training volume for the main body is already sufficient, so it's appropriate to relax a bit.

The real bulk of cultivation comes from the shadow clones.

The Nine-Tails can transmit chakra to its shadow clones from a great distance.

With this advantage, Naruto doesn't need to replenish the shadow clones regularly; the shadow clones can be completely self-sufficient.

When the number drops to one hundred, use the Nine-Tails' chakra to increase the number back up, and Naruto can simply sit back and reap the benefits.

Naruto doesn't need to worry much about training; it's already been planned out meticulously.

Having mastered the Rasengan, the focus shifted to training chakra nature transformations, in the order of lightning, wind, fire, water, and earth.

That's it. By combining it with the Rasengan, we can develop an S-rank ninjutsu with the corresponding attribute.

One step at a time.

Aside from the considerable mental pressure and frequent moments of mental confusion, he doesn't have any major health problems and isn't afraid of being discovered by Sakura.

At this moment, Naruto was thinking about how to borrow money from Hinata and how to sign in.

Now that he's graduated, the third generation shouldn't be spying on him all the time, right?

Even so, we still need to be careful. Before we have fully matured, it is better to be cautious than to make a big mistake.

Having acquired certain abilities of inexplicable origin—ninjutsu, secret techniques, forbidden techniques, or even bloodline limits—it's best not to use them openly and to keep them hidden.

Or use it secretly so no one sees it.

"Each person only has one chance to sign in. To maximize your benefits, it's best to be targeted in your approach."

What does it mean to target specific groups?

For example, if you want to get a white eye by signing in, in order to ensure that you get the white eye without fail, you must first master all of the other person's abilities except for the white eye.

Apply the rule that the same ability will not be checked in repeatedly.

If all other abilities of the person you're checking in with are known beforehand, then the only thing available for checking in with is the eye roll.

This is the only way to guarantee a 100% success rate in obtaining a specific ability.

Otherwise, it's just a matter of luck.

If the person you sign in to is Uchiha Madara, you'll be incredibly lucky and get the Rinnegan; otherwise, you'll get any jutsu below rank B.

Why mention eye rolls?

This brings us to the advanced form of the Byakugan, the Tenseigan, which is the highest form of eye technique comparable to the Rinnegan.

Based on the premise that a large number of Byakugan can be fused to form the Tenseigan, if one could repeatedly obtain Byakugan through quantitative changes, could one then obtain the Tenseigan?

Naruto had been fantasizing about this for a long time, but he hadn't thought about it deeply back then, feeling that it was still a long way off and that thinking too much about it would just be a waste of time.

Now that there is no covert surveillance, the possibility of the Third Hokage continuing to spy is extremely slim. Most importantly, Hinata likes him.

Hinata can be relied upon to achieve the goal.

"I hope I can sign in again with the Byakugan. Please, it has to be possible. It's very important to me," Naruto thought anxiously.

Then, unsurprisingly, I had insomnia again.

Sakura also suffers from insomnia.

In the dead of night, unable to sleep, her mind was exceptionally clear.

It felt like a dream.

Well, it all happened pretty much like that, all in a blur. I moved into Naruto's house and started living with him.

Although she slept in the bed and Naruto slept on the floor, the outcome of them living together was inevitable.

Sakura herself didn't know what she was thinking or why she had this idea that even if she lived with Naruto, she should correct his bad habits.

"Sakura, to be honest, the person you like isn't Naruto, is it?" Ino's words from last night resurfaced in my mind.

Sakura shook her head vigorously.

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

She's very loyal; she already likes Sasuke, so how could she like Naruto as well?

Besides, Naruto isn't as handsome as Sasuke. At most, he's a bit gentler, easier to talk to, more humorous, more cheerful, and more empathetic and considerate of others.

Aside from these, it doesn't have any other advantages.

Thinking this way, and convinced that she wasn't a fickle girl, Xiaoying felt relieved.

Suddenly, Sakura heard a noise coming from Naruto's side and tensed up instantly.

What? Why aren't you sleeping in the middle of the night? What are you planning to do? Could it be...?

Sakura's heart raced as she stealthily grabbed the scissors under her pillow with her left hand, bracing herself for a sudden attack.

Sakura only breathed a sigh of relief after Naruto finished using the toilet, drank some water, and came back to lie down on his makeshift bed on the floor.

Time passes slowly.

At five o'clock in the morning, Naruto got up and quietly climbed out of the window to the rooftop.

Sakura, who was feeling a little sleepy, woke up again, gripped the handle of the scissors tightly with her left hand, and then relaxed when she saw that Naruto was going to do his morning exercise.

It's inevitable that Sakura will be nervous because it's her first time sharing a room with a boy and she has no prior experience. She believes she will gradually get used to it.

My eyelids felt heavy, and I gradually fell asleep.

After finishing his morning exercise, washing up, and having breakfast, Naruto glanced at Sakura, who was still fast asleep, and scratched his face.

I thought to myself, "Wow, this guy can really sleep! And he sleeps so soundly. Does he really think this is his own home?"

He stuck a note on the wall explaining that breakfast was in the pot and could be eaten after heating it up. Naruto strapped on his weights, went out, and jogged toward the Hyuga clan's territory.

Let's see if we can run into Hinata.

Unfortunately, no.

"Perhaps I should learn the Chakra Sensing Technique first." Naruto pondered, creating a shadow clone before immediately dispelling it.

In this way, the memories are transmitted to the shadow clones who are cultivating on the back mountain.

Incidentally, shadow clones also get tired and need rest; they can't train indefinitely.

Fortunately, Kurama (the Nine-Tails) was there to keep an eye on things and occasionally transfer chakra to the shadow clones, ensuring they wouldn't disappear while they were asleep. Once they woke up, they could continue training.

at the same time.

The Hyuga family's front door was opened a little.

A small head peeked out, its pure, white eyes gazing at the receding figure.

With the aid of hand seals, he activated his Byakugan, and instantly, the veins around his eyes bulged out.

Ignoring the obstruction of clothing, the weights strapped to Naruto's arms and legs could be seen directly through the fabric.

"I need to work harder too, I can't let myself fall too far behind." Hinata clenched her little pink fist, cheering herself on.

Even if I can't stand by Naruto's side.

Even though Naruto already has Sakura as his girlfriend.

Even if the two are already living together.

Even if...

Well, it's still a blow.

Hinata looked like a wilted eggplant, listless and unwilling to go out. She just wanted to stay home and do nothing.

Chapter 32 Pretending to Meet

After not running into Hinata even once in four days, Naruto realized something was wrong.

Fortunately, the shadow clones were quite capable, having mastered the Chakra Sensing Technique, which he used to pinpoint Hinata's location.

Since we can't meet by chance, let's create opportunities to meet by chance.

then…

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

"Why?" Naruto looked up at the sky in confusion.

What exactly happened that Hinata has been staying at home for a month without going out?

The Hyuga family, being a prestigious clan, has a curfew. Members must be home by 9 PM, so anything after 9 PM is out of the question.

The best time to bump into Hinata is from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Naruto would use his sensory jutsu to sense Hinata's life force and chakra responses whenever he had a chance.
