Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

"Shadow clones?"

Shinku paused for a moment, then said, "That's an option."

Putting aside how many A-rank ninjutsu Aoba has mastered, his current strength is actually stronger than many Chunin, and he is qualified to learn Shadow Clone Jutsu.

"Although Shadow Clone Technique is only Rank B, it consumes a lot of chakra, and the fatigue accumulates when it's dispelled. You're also carrying the gourd right now, isn't that too much of a strain?"

"No pressure, no pressure."

Aoba counted on her fingers and said, "Look, I have to go to school, do my hospital internship, manage the accounts of the hot pot restaurant, and occasionally deal with emergencies like today. I'm still a child! I need to be in two places at once to help me share the burden."

In fact, Aoba had a lot on her mind.

With shadow clones, we can send them to class, run errands, and even have them take over when listening to the leaders speak at meetings.

My true self? Of course, I'd be lying at home drinking tea and reading the newspaper, while casually figuring out how to quickly fill the gourd with chakra.

This is the ultimate secret to slacking off!

"Okay, I'll give you the roll after we finish eating."

"But be careful not to ruin your health."

"Deal! Uncle Zhenhong, you're so handsome!"

Shinku: Heh~

……

The next day, at the Konoha Ninja Academy.

When Aoba walked into the school gate, the originally noisy playground instantly became much quieter.

Countless gazes were focused on him, or rather, on the thing behind him.

It was a huge gourd.

It is dark red all over, with a rough texture on the surface. It looks heavy and is almost half the height of Qingye.

"Huh? Isn't that Yamashiro Aoba? What's he doing carrying a gourd?"

"I don't know, it looks really weird."

"Could there be something delicious inside?"

Listening to the whispers around her, Qingye has gradually gotten used to it over the past two days. As long as she doesn't feel embarrassed, it's others who feel embarrassed.

When Qingye walked into the classroom carrying the huge gourd, the entire classroom instantly fell silent.

All the students' eyes were focused on the gourd behind him.

"What is that?"

"What a huge gourd..."

Whispers filled the classroom.

Aoba walked to her seat and sat down with a blank expression.

"Aoba!" a familiar voice rang out.

Aoba looked up and saw Might Guy approaching excitedly.

"What's that gourd on your back? It looks amazing!"

"It's just a container."

Aoba casually replied.

"container?"

Kai blinked. "What are you pretending for?"

"Sand."

"Oh! I see!"

Might Guy stared at the gourd behind Aoba, his eyes burning with fervor. "Is this also a training burden? This is amazing! I can't lose either! I'm going to run five hundred laps around the track handstand!"

After saying that, Kai stood upside down and shot out like a whirlwind.

Aoba's lips twitched.

No sooner had Kai left than Obito Uchiha, wearing goggles, darted out from the side, reaching out curiously to touch the gourd.

"Don't touch it," Aoba said calmly.

"Tch, you stingy person, it won't break if you touch it."

Obito pursed his lips, but still reached out his hand.

Just as his fingertips were about to touch the surface of the gourd.

Shasha...

A stream of dark red sand suddenly gushed out of the gourd's mouth, coiling around Obito's wrist like a living snake.

"Wow! What is that?!"

Obito was startled and quickly pulled his hand back, taking several steps back and almost falling on his backside.

The surrounding classmates also gasped in surprise.

The fine sand swirled in the air, as if in defiance, before slowly retreating back into the gourd.

Aoba pushed up his sunglasses, looked at the still-shaken Obito, and a mischievous smile curled at the corner of his mouth: "I told you not to touch it, it's wary of strangers."

"This...this is alive?"

Obito's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

People around also subconsciously moved away from Aoba.

After all, they are ninjas, and it is quite common for them to keep some ninja beasts, but this is the first time I have seen something so bizarre. People are still afraid of the unknown.

On the other hand, Asuma stared at Aoba's gourd for a long time.

He is, after all, the son of the Hokage, so he knows more than others, but only a little more.

That gourd was Aoba's ninjutsu. Although he didn't know exactly how to use it, it must be a very powerful ninjutsu that the old man praised.

"Damn it, Aoba, that guy's gotten stronger again!"

Asma could only keep encouraging himself in his heart.

It works well; no one bothers him anymore.

As for why Aoba always carried the gourd, it was to make it easier to inject chakra into the sand.

Previously, before it was exposed, Aoba could only seal it in a scroll and inject chakra every once in a while.

Now that it's been exposed, Aoba no longer hides it; carrying it on her back is convenient.

Every grain of sand in this gourd has undergone special treatment, mixed with his biological cells, and is constantly nourished by his chakra. Through long-term erosion and nourishment by the chakra, it has an extremely high affinity for him.

It's like playing with walnuts; only after playing with them for a long time will they develop a patina and acquire a certain spirit.

Once attacked, without Aoba's intervention, the chip will automatically take control of the sand, forming an effective defense in the shortest possible time.

It's like Gaara's "Sand Shield," but the core is different.

Gaara relied on the chakra left by his mother, while Aoba relied on technology and ruthless skill.

Moreover, this gourd has a trump card that only Qingye knows.

If he wanted, he could spread out the sand instantly to form a floating platform.

In other words—he can fly.

In an era when most ninjas were still fighting on the ground, the implications of controlling the air were self-evident.

Can't beat them?

I'll just take off and run away, what can you do about it?

Besides, who says that only Gaara can carry a gourd?

It's Konoha year 45 now, and Gaara hasn't even been born yet!

If I release it first, then I'm the original!

Several days passed like this. Aoba didn't skip class or even go to the hospital. Just when Aoba thought that the Third Generation Old Man would "forget" him, Araki-sensei called him to his office.

Araki-sensei's expression was somewhat complicated. He took a form out of his drawer and handed it over.

"This is... an application form for early graduation."

coming.

Aoba's face remained completely expressionless.

Though late, will it arrive?!

He knew this must be an order from the Hokage, so he didn't make things difficult for Araki-sensei.

I said "thank you" and took the form.

His gaze swept quickly across it.

[Graduation Direction: Conventional Combat Formation], [Logistics Support Department], [Special Talent Pathway]...

His gaze lingered on the "Special Talents Pathway" section.

A brilliant idea formed in his mind.

So he picked up his pen and, without hesitation, put a checkmark in the "Special Talents Path" column.

And in the "Detailed Description of Talents" that followed, he neatly wrote down five words: Medical Ninjutsu.

How clever I am!
