Konoha: Starting with a sign-in for Hashirama cells

"I was wrong. Naruto's healing ability has nothing to do with the Nine-Tails' chakra; it's entirely Naruto's own ability."

"!?" Jiraiya.

"Chakra with incredible vitality?" Jiraiya murmured.

"It possesses cellular vitality comparable to the First Hokage, and is born with chakra of all five natures," the Third Hokage said.

“Previously, I took advantage of an incident to pass on several Wood Release secret techniques, along with other ninjutsu, to Naruto.”

"In the qualifiers, he demonstrated a high level of understanding of soil properties. If we can elevate the understanding of water properties and then integrate the two, we can achieve the desired results."

"Naruto has a great chance to restore the glory of the First Hokage. Compared to the First Hokage's Wood Release, the power of the Nine-Tails is nothing."

“Minato and Kushina’s child is definitely not simple, it’s just that he has this hobby,” Jiraiya said strangely.

"..." three generations.

Chapter 66 The Sister-in-Law Moves In

"It's so painful!" Naruto sighed as he lay in the bathtub.

It is a little past 12:30 a.m. at the moment.

An afternoon and a whole night of intensive training and beatings confirmed one thing for him: he did indeed possess a passive instinct to automatically evade attacks.

When this passive instinct is triggered, the body will react on its own to evade the attack in the most effortless, efficient, and quickest way.

It seems to have an extremely keen sense of danger, able to identify it autonomously, and take different responses according to the degree of danger.

Normal dodge.

Chakra bursts out to dodge.

Lightning Release chakra stimulates cells, accelerating bursts of evasion.

If danger is truly unavoidable, while trying to evade it, one will control chakra, perform an earth-type transformation, and concentrate it on the attacked area.

To minimize the harm one suffers and reduce the danger to the lowest possible level.

At the moment of being attacked, Naruto was able to maintain the stimulation of his cells with Lightning Release chakra while simultaneously controlling Earth Release chakra to strengthen his defense—something even Naruto himself couldn't do.

The awareness can't keep up.

Assess the level of risk.

Chakra is refined, transformed into lightning, and stimulated to accelerate cell activity.

Extract chakra, transform it into earth, and strengthen the defense of the attacked parts.

The danger was dealt with just the right amount, without any waste.

To have him handle so many things in such a short time.

It’s as difficult as climbing to heaven.

The advantages are obvious.

With this passive instinct, it would be almost impossible for him to ambush Naruto; he could even evade and dodge attacks that were unseen.

As long as the speed difference isn't too great, it will be difficult for him to lose.

The downside is that you can only dodge, and at most you can add defense. Does that count?

It's easy to use, it's incredibly easy to use, but the problem is that the triggering conditions are too strict.

It must be that Naruto completely, thoroughly, and absolutely relinquishes control over his body; it must be unconscious for this passive instinct to be triggered.

Even after enduring so many beatings today, he only unintentionally triggered about thirty attacks. The number of attacks he suffered was far more than tens of thousands.

The success rate is shockingly low.

"Nine-Tails, is there any other way?" Being beaten is such a primitive way to suffer, and Naruto would never choose this if there were any other way.

"There's nothing we can do," Nine-Tailed Fox said.

"You already know the triggering conditions. For things involving consciousness and the soul, there's no other way but to get beaten up and let the body remember that feeling."

"It was tough, but it was worth it."

Naruto couldn't help but sigh again, then suddenly froze: "What did you just say?"

"It was tough, but it was worth it." - Nine-Tailed Fox

"The sentence before that." Naruto.

“You already know the trigger conditions. This kind of thing involves consciousness and soul, except…” Naruto interrupted Kurama, jumping up excitedly.

"I've got it! I've thought of a way to master passive instincts without getting beaten up anymore."

"Oh! What is it?" Nine-Tails opened its eyes curiously.

"Spirit Transformation Technique," Naruto said, enunciating each word clearly.

"I don't know much about the techniques used by you humans. What are the effects of this technique?" Nine-Tails asked.

“Separate the soul from the body,” Naruto said.

Nine-Tails was taken aback, then realized: "That really is the most suitable technique for you."

“It doesn’t require the soul to completely leave the body. As long as the soul’s control over the body is severed, the passive instinct can be triggered,” Naruto said.

"Then, I will wait for the right opportunity to take control of my body and launch a counterattack against the enemy."

"It can also make up for the weakness of being passive and unable to attack."

The more I thought about it, the more excited I became, and I wasn't sleepy at all.

Naruto quickly dried himself off and put on his pajamas.

Turn on the living room lights.

Take out paper and pen, lie down in front of the low table, and silently write down the cultivation method of the Spirit Transformation Technique.

When Naruto was reciting it before, and when he copied it for Sakura, Kurama didn't pay attention because it didn't need it and wondered what it was for.

At the moment, Kurama is very concerned about whether Naruto can master this passive instinct, so he is paying a little more attention and observing.

"Simply put, it consists of two steps." Naruto said to Kurama, who habitually twirled a pen in one hand and rested his chin on the other.

"The first step is to close off your five senses and experience and sense the deepest part of your spirit."

"The second step is to try to control it, allowing the soul to leave the body."

"By the way, is it okay if I only block out the sense of touch?"

"Anything is better than having no way to go. Let's take it slow." Seeing that Naruto had a new direction and no longer needed to be beaten or feel pain, Kurama felt relieved, closed its eyes again, and said casually.

“There are a lot of medical ninjutsu and human body knowledge points in here, but I don’t understand them. I’ll ask Sakura for help tomorrow…” Naruto paused for a moment.

"Never mind, I'll do it myself."

There was no suitable candidate; otherwise, it would have been much simpler to have someone else cultivate the Spirit Transformation Technique and then he could sign in.

Considering the cooldown period for sign-in, waiting for others to sign in takes too long, so it's better for him to learn on his own.

Learn what you can learn on your own. Use your precious sign-in opportunities to acquire skills that you can't learn otherwise; that's the most cost-effective way.

Silent all night.

What interrupted Naruto's focused study was the knocking on the door.

Naruto stopped taking notes, stretched his sore shoulders, and tidied up his things, putting the important notes into his ninja tool bag.

I went to open the door.

The first thing that catches the eye is a mature older woman.

Traditional maid outfit.

White eyes.

He wore a headband with leaves.

Hyuga branch family members will all wear headbands on their foreheads to cover the Caged Bird Seal.

Then, shifting the gaze to the lower right, one sees seven-year-old Hanabi standing there with a stern face and an air of authority.

"..." Naruto.

“Naruto Uzumaki,” the branch family maid said.

“I am,” Naruto said.

"Lady Hanabi, I'm entrusting this to you. I wonder how much you know about our Hyuga clan?" said the branch family maid.

"The main family and the branch family are divided by the Caged Bird Seal. Lady Hanabi does not yet have the Caged Bird Seal, which will attract the covetous eyes of those with ulterior motives. It is very dangerous and requires extra protection."

"If there is anything beyond your control, or if Lady Hanabi goes missing, please do not delay and notify us immediately."

"This contains Lady Hanabi's change of clothes and daily necessities."

"As for the expenses, the clan chief has given instructions that you are fully responsible for them."

"..." Naruto.

"Is it alright? You're just moving here like this, without any guards accompanying you? Or are you hiding in the shadows?" Naruto asked.

“There are no guards.” The maid from the branch family shook her head. “I don’t know the specifics either. I’ll just say what the clan chief instructed.”

Watching the branch family maid leave, Naruto turned his head and said, "How did you convince your father? There weren't even any guards!"

"Hehe, I don't know either." Hanabi shrugged: "Father disagreed yesterday, but suddenly agreed this morning."

That's strange," Naruto raised an eyebrow.

Chapter 67 One in a Million

According to Hanabi, she went back yesterday to explain the matter to her sister and clarified the pros and cons. Hinata immediately went to find her father without any hesitation.

Unsurprisingly, the proposal was rejected, and the whereabouts of the 50 million was also revealed.

Even when Hinata used eye drops to fake her tearful appearance, it did not move her father in the slightest.

They are determined not to allow it.
