Konoha's Hextech Ninja

His physical attributes soared to over 800. If he could increase them by another 100 points, he would have crossed the threshold of becoming a Jonin.

And the chakra limit has increased dramatically.

Consequently, attributes such as attack power and spell power also increased to varying degrees.

However, this improvement is not entirely due to the [Lost Chapters], but also to the small amount of attributes randomly distributed daily by the [Red Envelopes].

The [Red Envelope] Hextech gacha system not only gives you money every day, but also a small amount of random attributes.

Although the amount given each time is small, it can add up over time and should not be underestimated.

Perhaps due to different worldviews, the nature of some attributes has also changed.

For example, the attribute 'Skill Speed' reduces skill cooldown time in the game, but in this world, it increases the casting speed of ninjutsu.

Besides these two things, the natural development and high-intensity training over the past two months have also made my body slightly stronger. Although the increase is not much, probably only five or six points in the 'Constitution' attribute, it is still an extra gain.

"We've taken another step closer to Emperor Ruitian."

Yagami Yoruichi smiled with satisfaction.

Although the first complete major component has not yet been synthesized, the increase in strength is already quite obvious.

If the [Seraph's Embrace] can be synthesized, the increase in strength will be even greater.

However, among the three individual pieces needed to synthesize [Seraph's Embrace], Yagami Yoruichi currently only has [Tears of the Goddess] and [Lost Chapter]. She is still missing a [Demon Codex] worth 850 gold coins and the synthesis fee of 450 gold coins, which means she is still short a total of 1300 gold coins.

[Red Envelope] The average amount of gold coins given per day is about 20 points, and it takes about two months.

It's definitely too late for this semester; we'll have to wait until winter break to gather them all.

"It takes about four or five months to get a piece of equipment, and you can get a full set of six items in less than three years, which is about the same as I estimated before."

Yagami Yoruichi nodded to himself.

Yoruichi Yagami is only six years old now, and she will only be nine years old in three years. She can afford to wait.

"However, it would be great if we had a few more powerful Hextech units to speed up the development process."

A thought flashed through Yagami Yoruichi's mind.

So far, aside from the 'Emperor Rui' template given in the newbie gift pack when the system was first activated, the only other time I chose Hextech was when I enrolled in the Ninja Academy.

The system notification at the time was 'Job Promotion'.

In other words, the next opportunity to choose Hextech should be when you graduate from the Ninja Academy and officially become a Genin?

Should I apply for early graduation?

The thought only flashed through Yoruichi Yagami's mind for a moment before she extinguished it.

The ninja world is far from safe right now; even genin have to go to the battlefield.

As a late-game character, the best strategy before you can develop your character is to stay safely in the Ninja Academy and focus on leveling up.

Graduating early might accelerate development, but the risks also increase exponentially, making it not cost-effective.

After all, the real world isn't like a game where you can resurrect from the fountain after you die.

If you are killed by the enemy, then you are truly dead.

"Let's not think about that anymore, let's train first. My chakra control and water-style nature transformation have improved a lot. Today is the weekend, so I have plenty of time to study the Water Chaos Wave ninjutsu."

Yagami Yoruichi quickly packed her things and headed out to the Konoha training grounds.

Chapter 21 The Legendary Otsutsuki Ichiraku?

Chen-Chou-Mao.

"Water Release: Water Chaos Wave!"

A high-pressure jet of water shot out from Yagami Yoru's mouth, heading towards the jungle ahead.

Dozens of large trees were submerged by the floodwaters, but only two trees directly in front of them were knocked down. The rest only swayed a few times and had some bark peeled off, without suffering more severe impact.

"No."

Yoruichi Yagami shook her head slightly: "Spitting water out of the mouth is too restrictive."

"What if I release my chakra directly outside my body to form a stream of water instead of spitting it out of my mouth?" A thought popped into Yoruichi Yagami's mind.

Most ninjas prefer to release ninjutsu through their mouths because it is the easiest way to convert ninjutsu through the throat and mouth.

But this step is not actually necessary.

If one has a high enough level of control over chakra and mastery of its nature transformations, one can perform the chakra manipulation through other parts of the body.

For example, the ninjutsu 'Water Release: Water Wall' creates a large amount of water around the body for defense.

The Water Barrier, improved by the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, can create whirlpools in the water flow, providing comprehensive defense against attacks from all directions.

"By the way, the water formation wall of Tobirama Senju, that seal..."

Yagami Yoruichi suddenly recalled the strange hand seals used by Senju Tobirama when he used Water Release: Water Wall in the original work.

The standard Water Escape - Water Formation Wall technique requires five hand seals in the following sequence: Yin - Si - Zi - Si - Yin.

Tobirama Senju's Water Release: Water Formation Wall only has two hand seals, and the way these two seals are formed is completely different from the twelve standard hand seals.

"What are these two seals again?" Yagami Yoruichi recalled the scene from the story and tried to form two special hand seals of Senju Tobirama.

However, because one only knows the hand seal movements but does not understand how chakra is circulated during hand seals, such hand seals are merely empty shells and will not have any substantial effect.

"I'll ask the teacher next week," Yagami Yoruichi thought to herself.

The hand seals created by Tobirama Senju might not be known to the ninja academy teachers, but if it is just a niche hand seal method, the ninja academy would not normally teach it, but perhaps experienced ninjas would know about it.

In the ninja world, the twelve basic hand seals are the most common, but there are also a large number of less common hand seals.

For example, many secret techniques passed down by esoteric families use hand seals that differ from conventional hand seals.

"Yo, Yoruichi-san~!"

A voice came.

Yagami Yoruichi looked over in surprise, only to see Umino Ikkaku walking towards him.

"I knew you'd be here." Umino Ikkaku looked at the mess around him, which had been battered by the water, and showed a hint of surprise.

"Ikkaku-senpai," Yagami Yoichi looked at Umino Ikkaku and asked with a smile, "Is your mission over? Did it go smoothly?"

"It went very smoothly. I just got back to the village yesterday. I was thinking you'd be practicing here this weekend, so I came to check on you. You're really diligent."

Umino Ikkaku asked with a smile, "Are you practicing ninjutsu?"

"Yes, my teacher taught me Water Release: Water Chaos Wave." Yagami Yoru nodded, not hiding anything.

"Water Release, huh? That happens to be something I'm not good at. My wife, on the other hand, is quite skilled in it." Umino Ikkaku chuckled, changing the subject and asking, "How's your training going lately? Is there any problem with the training plan I gave you?"

“I have been following the training plan formulated by you, senior.” Yagami Yoru nodded and said with a smile, “Although it is a bit tough, the results are indeed very good. I can feel that my body is growing much faster.”

In two months, through natural physical development and training, Yagami Yoruichi estimated that her 'physical' attribute was around five or six points.

Compared to the system's bonuses, it's insignificant, but for an ordinary ninja academy student, such a rate of improvement is already very fast.

After all, Yagami Yoruichi is only six years old and hasn't reached the stage of rapid development yet.

When they reach their teens, their physical growth enters a period of rapid development, and the growth rate becomes astonishing.

According to the theories of the ninja world, the better one's physical condition is before puberty, the faster one's body will grow during the rapid development period of puberty.

"When I made the plan, I didn't consider that you would also be learning ninjutsu. Since you will be distracted by ninjutsu training, I will reduce the time spent on taijutsu training to avoid excessive physical exertion and affecting your physical development."

Umino Ikkaku offered a reminder, then changed the subject, asking, "You're going to be doing high-intensity training now, which requires a lot of extra money. Isn't the village's subsidy enough to cover your expenses?"

Yagami Yoruichi nodded in agreement.

High-intensity training is certainly very beneficial for physical growth, but the cost is also staggering.

Putting aside everything else, just maintaining the body's nutritional needs requires several times more money spent on food.

If you want to ensure that no hidden injuries are left, you also need to regularly buy medicinal herbs to nourish your body, which will cost even more.

Even just the former has already put Yagami Yoruichi's financial situation in a precarious state.

As for tonic herbs, Yagami Yoruichi simply didn't have the money to buy them.

“My neighbor, Tetsu, is planning to open a ramen shop.” Umino Ikkaku stated the purpose of his visit directly: “I’ve talked to him. If you’re willing, you can help him buy ingredients and deliver them to the shop every morning and evening. He will pay you according to the standard of one D-level mission per week.”

D-level missions offer rewards ranging from 500 to 10,000 taels of silver.

It's just a small matter like delivering goods, so naturally it's unlikely to be fixed, and it probably won't exceed a thousand taels.

Even if it's only 1,000 taels a week, it adds up to more than 4,000 taels a month, which is not a small amount for Yagami Yoruichi.

Buying ingredients twice a day and delivering them to the store doesn't take much time, so this 'part-time job' is quite worthwhile for Yagami Yoruichi.

However, Yagami Yoruichi's attention was not on the work itself, but on the name of the neighbor that Umino Ikkaku mentioned.

Typed by hand?

Could that ramen shop be the legendary Ichiraku Ramen?

In the original work, Konoha was destroyed several times, but Ichiraku Ramen remained unscathed, which can be described as a miracle.

Many Naruto fans even joked that Ichiraku Ramen's owner is "Otsutsuki Ichiraku," which is why Ichiraku Ramen is the safest place in Konoha.

Of course, this is just a joke.

However, Yagami Yoruichi was still very interested in Ichiraku Ramen.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that Ichiraku Ramen opened around this time.

“Ikkaku-senpai, I’m willing to accept this job,” Yagami Yoruichi said without hesitation.

It wasn't out of curiosity about Ichiraku Ramen.

He just wanted to make money.

After all, money is absolutely essential to maintain the demands of high-intensity training.

“I’ve already spoken to him. Go to this place and find someone called ‘Teuchi Ichiraku.’ Just say I introduced him.” Umino Ikkaku handed Yagami Yoruichi a slip of paper with an address written on it. “Since you’re not a formal ninja yet, this is considered part-time work, not a mission, so it won’t be recorded in your mission history. Well, that shouldn’t be a problem for you, right?”
