Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

After leaving the ninja academy, Kurenai gradually returned to her original personality and started talking more. She would either threaten to beat up that fat kid next time or complain about Guy's bizarre behavior.

The two arrived at the entrance of the Shancheng Hot Pot restaurant, which was still very popular. Even though it was not yet mealtime, the restaurant was still half full.

The two entered the store, greeted the staff familiarly, and then found a secluded corner to sit down.

Aoba smiled and said, "Uncle Kitano, I'm still the same as always."

Kurenai Yuhi: "I'd like tomato soup today, thank you."

"Okay, just a moment, I'll be right there."

Uncle Kitano smiled and placed the cutlery in front of the two of them, then went to prepare the ingredients.

Soon, plates of Yun Gu beef were placed in front of Qingye.

Qingye skillfully picked up a few slices of beef and put them into the soup, then put them in her mouth after the countdown on the chip.

This way of eating not only preserves the texture of the beef, but most importantly, it aids in digestion and absorption.

It's funny, but Aoba originally opened the hot pot restaurant just to achieve beef freedom.

Cloud Valley Beef is a specialty of the Land of Lightning. Only cattle raised in the Land of Lightning's environment, which is characterized by constant thunderstorms, have this unique taste.

Although Aoba pays attention to food, he is not the kind of person who is overly extravagant. The reason is that, according to the analysis of the chip, eating more beef will make the body grow faster, especially the Cloud Valley beef from the Land of Lightning. The various proteins and amino acids in it can not only promote physical development, but also enhance physical fitness.

If he bought beef individually, he estimated he would go bankrupt in less than a year. That's why he had the idea of ​​opening a hot pot restaurant. Besides being able to purchase in bulk to minimize costs, it also helped him achieve beef freedom.

What he didn't expect was that he still underestimated the Chinese cuisine of his previous life. Just one dish, hot pot, became a hit, and incidentally, his true identity was also exposed to the Third Hokage.

night.

As usual, Aoba entered the ninjutsu data on the scroll while reviewing the day's events.

On the first day of school, the ninja academy teachers will definitely report the students' general situation to the Hokage.

As for his conflict with Little Fatty, it was certainly under the 'watchful eye' of the ninja academy teachers.

It's better to proactively expose our strength and create a deterrent effect than to face continuous trouble later.

Otherwise, what's the point of "special recruitment"? Rather than being passively "exposed" and constantly provoked, it's better to expose oneself proactively.

There was no conflict in his behavior patterns. He just wanted to keep a low profile because his parents were ninjas who sacrificed themselves, and he didn't want to become a ninja. It wasn't directly related to gaining strength.

However, the fact that he was able to learn the chakra refining technique and the Three Body Technique scroll left by his parents on his own proves that he is a genius.

His lifestyle and behavioral patterns must have been presented to the Third Hokage in more detail.

After regaining his memories, Aoba stopped treating himself like a child and quickly learned the etiquette and manners of the ninja world, thus behaving unlike a child.

As for why such a big change occurred, the simultaneous death of both parents and a drastic change in personality are normal phenomena in the ninja world.

Becoming more mature and responsible are all positive changes.

It's better than those who become extreme and anti-village.

Otherwise, where did those ninjas who retaliated against the village and defected come from?

Disguise and infiltration are compulsory courses at the Ninja Academy, and intelligence analysis is an essential subject for examination.

Those time-travel novels where characters constantly act young or like children are practically insulting other people's intelligence.

It's ridiculous that someone who has never studied acting is trying to act young in front of a group of big shots.

Even those movie stars and TV drama kings would have to kneel down. Their body language and facial expressions might fool some kids or recent graduates of the lower ninja class.

But trying to fool a group of Jonin who have emerged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood is practically suicide.

A native of Konoha, a descendant of heroes, with potential and the backing of a Jonin, he is definitely a pillar of the village's future.

If you want to do something, just show it openly and honestly. Hiding it will not only make you look like a clown, but even if you can hide it, people will not approve of you when it is exposed. They will only think that you have ulterior motives.

A month later.

The Hokage's office.

"Oh? So he cheated using illusion magic?"

"Yes, it's confirmed, Hokage!"

Upon hearing the report from the Anbu, Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up the pipe beside him, took a puff, and immediately a cloud of smoke billowed around him.

Then the third generation stared into deep thought at the two exam papers on the table with almost identical answers.

He knew Araki's strength; being able to cheat right under his nose was also a skill.

It's one thing for him to be able to cheat using illusion magic, but to write almost identical answers to the theoretical exam about his understanding of the Fire Consciousness—is he trying to make sure everyone knows he cheated?

"Owl, Kurenai Yuhi should be back in the village by now. Have him come over."

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

……

"I'm back... Oh, Father?"

When Yuhiko opened the door, she was pleasantly surprised to find her father had returned. She took off her shoes and prepared to run over.

Aoba, who was walking behind, was about to greet them and go inside when she suddenly sensed the unusual atmosphere and quickly changed her mind, saying, "Excuse me, I suddenly remembered I have something to do at the shop, I'll take my leave now!"

Aoba turned around quickly, but before he could take a second step, he heard Uncle Shinku's suppressed and deep voice behind him.

"stop!"

At the same time, Aoba also found that he suddenly could not move his body.

"Oh no!"

[Illusion: Golden Binding Technique]

Although the illusion scroll provided by Uncle Shinku does not contain the hand seals or techniques for this ninjutsu, it does mention the reaction and effects of the target.

Aoba, who had already finished analyzing the scroll, instantly realized that he had fallen under a spell.

【Golden Binding Technique】A D-rank ninjutsu, it is the most basic ninjutsu among genjutsu. Its effectiveness varies from person to person depending on the user's strength and mastery of the technique. The stronger the user, the more powerful the technique will be.

It is especially effective when strong people are against weak people, and is jokingly referred to by Qingye as a god-level skill for crushing noobs.

I never expected that I would be using it on myself before I even learned it.

"system!"

Aoba quickly issued commands in his mind, and the chip took over part of his body, while cooperating with Aoba's consciousness to dispel the alien chakra.

[Illusion: Dispel]

Huh?

A surprised gasp came from inside the room.

Just as Qingye dispelled the illusion and hadn't even taken two steps, a hand landed on his shoulder, as if weighing a thousand pounds, rendering him unable to move.

A bead of cold sweat instantly slid down his forehead.

Aoba turned her head stiffly, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace.

"Mr....Mr. Shinku, it's been...so long."

"Hmm, it has been quite a while. It seems that Aoba has not slacked off while I was away. He is quite good at using illusions and breaking them as well."

"No, no, it's mainly because Uncle Zhenhong taught me well."

"Oh, I don't even remember teaching you that."

Kurenai Yuhi revealed a 'kind' smile.

"Scrolling, scrolling, Uncle Shinku's summary of experience is particularly insightful..."

"Alright, then come in and explain to me properly how you used illusion magic to cheat on the exam!"

Kurenai Yuhi sat on the sofa with a tense face, still wearing her Jonin vest and ninja tool bag, looking at the two little ones kneeling on the floor with a rather serious expression.

Upon hearing their "explanations," Shinku's lips twitched, and she nearly broke down.

"What do you mean by 'I'll revise the sentence next time, and I won't just copy it verbatim'? Is that what I meant?!"

……
