Konoha: Starting with a sign-in for Hashirama cells

"With the training notes that Sakura had given me earlier, plus a large number of shadow clones, working day and night, the shadow clones have mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique and can use it with one hand."

"I've been keeping this from Naruto, wanting to surprise him, but I never expected..."

“Whichever shadow clone possesses the Flying Thunder God technique, you can simply absorb that one,” Ino said.

"Absorbing the memories of nearly a thousand shadow clones in one go, and the amount of memories from each individual shadow clone is so much, how can I possibly handle this?"

“One memory can’t compare to hundreds or thousands of memories,” Nine-Tailed Fox said.

"That's too reckless." Ino sighed, "Why do this? You could have taken it easy. What if something happens because you don't take care of your health?"

"Why? I think it's partly because Sakura is in danger, but also because of your request," Kurama said.

"Sakura is Naruto's best friend, and you are the first girl to confess to Naruto."

“I have been inside Naruto’s body all along. I know exactly what kind of life he has lived from childhood to now. It’s nothing but loneliness.”

"Even if he doesn't say it, he must care a lot. His dream of becoming Hokage is also to stop being ignored and to attract attention."

"You not only noticed him, but you also secretly admired and liked him."

"Although I don't know why Naruto chose Hinata, he and Hinata didn't have much interaction at the Ninja Academy."

"The only thing I'm certain of is that you, the girl who showed interest in him before Hinata, must hold a very important place in his heart."

"I see." Ino remained silent.

“Just now, the shadow clone that Naruto left behind to take over his daily life has already left,” Kurama said.

"Could I ask you for a favor later?"

“Daily routines don’t matter, but training is absolutely essential. He has worked so hard for so long, and I don’t want to see it go to waste. It’s closely related to his dream.”

“Leave it to me.” Ino nodded.

The Nine-Tails' chakra supply was redirected to support the shadow clones who successfully escaped Konoha. These shadow clones in the back mountains were completely cut off from their chakra source.

One after another, the shadow clones disappeared.

Those shadow clones that still had a little chakra weren't idle; they seized the time to train and gain more experience using it.

Memories flooded into Naruto's consciousness like a torrent.

Ino, who was possessing Naruto in her soul form, could clearly feel Naruto's soul trembling and rippling with very obvious waves.

The pressure was all on Naruto; Ino was unaffected.

She used her own soul to embrace Naruto's soul, helping to stabilize it so that Naruto could digest the information more quickly and awaken.

"Am I the first girl to confess? Does that mean I was ahead of Hinata? Then why did they choose Hinata and not me?" Thinking about this question, Ino looked up at the moon, lost in thought.

“Your stamina should have recovered. Now try refining your chakra,” Kurama said.

Ino composed herself, channeled her spiritual energy, and combined it perfectly with Naruto's physical energy, successfully extracting a small amount of chakra.

The perfect Hashirama cells have completely integrated into Naruto and become a part of his body.

The chakra was refined and created using Ino's spiritual energy, and its properties were transformed into Ino's earth and water.

Other attributes require practice before they can be used.

The rich vitality contained within the cells remains unchanged.

"This is!" Ino was utterly astonished as she felt the injuries to her chakra meridians being rapidly healed by this chakra.

"No need to make a fuss. Where do you think Naruto got his Wood Release? It comes from his terrifying life force, comparable to that of the First Hokage, Hashirama," Kurama said casually.

"By the way, Naruto cares a lot about Hinata, and the two are engaged. If Hinata knew that you were living inside Naruto, she probably wouldn't feel good about it."

"I don't want to upset Hinata or cause trouble for Naruto, so please don't make any mistakes and play the role well."

“Playing Naruto is no problem, but… I have to ask, did they have any intimate interactions?” Ino asked hesitantly.

"I don't understand your human behavior, what constitutes intimacy." Nine-Tails.

“Mouth, like this, together, or imprinted on the face, on the forehead,” Ino said.

"Yes." Nine-Tailed Fox.

"..." Ino.

"No, no, no! I can't act like that! Asking me to do that to Hinata... absolutely not!" Ino shook her head vigorously.

ten minutes later.

Naruto's house.

in the living room.

In front of the low table.

Ino, who was only halfway through eating the tomato and egg noodles cooked by Hinata, was restless.

"What's wrong? Is it not to your liking?" Hinata asked quickly.

Ino shook her head and whispered, "I can't hold it in anymore, I need to go to the toilet."

Why blush when you're just going to the toilet? Hinata wondered, then said, "There's no one in the toilet."

Soon, Hinata realized something and blushed. She whispered, "I won't use my Byakugan to peek, and I'll keep an eye on Hanabi. Don't overthink it, and don't worry about it."

Ino hesitated for a while before finally whispering, "Can you help me if I close my eyes and don't look or touch anything?"

"Huh?" Hinata's face froze.

Chapter 99 Remarks on the launch

In 2019, I tried writing a few books, but none of them were signed. They were all over 400,000 words long. The only one I wrote received a contract offer from the website, but it only has three readers in my favorites.

In comparison, this result is already very good for me.

Because it's a part-time job, I can only write a maximum of two chapters per day, so...

I don't need tips or monthly tickets, just a subscription or recommendation vote would be enough.

A few days ago, I took some time to browse the comments and almost got so badly attacked that I became depressed. My fragile heart is so fragile that I'm a little afraid to read comments now.

That's all for now. It will be available tomorrow. If you like it, please subscribe to support me. Thank you.

Chapter 100 Awakening

It felt like I had slept for a long time, like I was soaking in a hot spring, it was very comfortable.

"It really is soaking in hot water."

Naruto, who had regained consciousness, found himself sitting in a bathtub, steam rising from it. He was speechless and then stunned.

"and many more!"

"Right now, I should have been taken to the hospital by a shadow clone. If I were to wake up, I would be in a hospital room. How come I'm at home? And taking a shower!"

"Oh dear, you woke up earlier than expected," Nine-Tails said. "It seems she did something to your soul that caused you to wake up earlier."

"Her? Come to think of it, how long was I unconscious?" Naruto rubbed his temples as a flood of memories inexplicably filled in, but his headache remained.

"Five days." Nine-Tailed Fox.

"Five days, that's pretty fast. Tell me, what happened during that time?" Naruto asked. "Has Hinata become a Jinchuriki yet? And what about Sakura?"

"The Three-Tails was discovered this morning. Shadow clones rushed over, and with the chakra and natural energy I provided, they were successfully captured," Kurama said.

"In the afternoon, the shadow clone returned using the Flying Thunder God Technique to pick up Hinata. They are currently sealing the Three-Tails, and it's nearing its end."

"Hinata's grandfather was surprisingly a master of sealing techniques."

"It's just that he's old and his body is failing. Otherwise, given enough time to prepare and with some manpower to assist him, he could capture and seal the Three-Tails."

"Really? I was thinking of asking Master for help with this, but I didn't expect Grandfather to..." Naruto asked, "How is it? Is there any problem?"

Sealed space.

Through the perspective of the shadow clone, as if watching a live broadcast, Kurama said, "You can rest assured, first of all, Hinata's physique is extraordinary."

"Secondly, the Three-Tails was suppressed by the five wooden dragons. With such a good sealing environment, Hinata's grandfather was able to handle it with ease."

"That's good," Naruto said.

"As for Sakura, there was no gain," Kurama said.

"We've searched the Land of Fire, and also the neighboring Land of Lightning, Land of Earth, and Land of Wind, among many other places."

"Even with the range of chakra sensing techniques, there is still no news. You should be prepared for the worst."

"What kind of mental preparation?" Naruto asked.

"There are still many places we haven't searched, and those places that have already been searched cannot be detected by chakra perception techniques if they have barriers that isolate perception."

"I mean, Sakura might already be..." Naruto interrupted Kurama before he could finish speaking.

"No, she's not someone who dies young. Even with my influence, she wouldn't have died so soon."

“I mean, it’s possible.” Nine-Tails.

"Even if that's the case, I will..." Naruto got up, stepped out of the bathtub, and dried himself with a towel.

"Please pass on a message to all my shadow clones: choose one of them to dispel, and I need to know the details."

Soon, a flood of memories surged forth, and Naruto frowned, closing his eyes to process them.

quite a while…

"We captured several of Danzo's subordinates, but we couldn't get anything out of them."

Naruto had a blank expression on his face.

The reason we can be sure they are Danzo's subordinates is, of course, based on the seal of the extinction of the root of tongue calamity.

"In that case, we can only keep an eye on the other Jinchuriki and wait for Danzo to make a move in order to find him and Sakura."

As expected of Konoha's roots, they've kept it hidden very well.

Naruto was considering whether Danzo was still in the village and whether it was feasible to overthrow Konoha and dig him out when a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

"Brother-in-law, are you sure you don't need my help?" Hanabi asked in a childish voice from outside the door.
