Konoha's lexicon of ninjas

Chapter 8 The script is wrong! (Please vote and give me your monthly tickets to continue reading)

Student days are always carefree, and time slips away unnoticed.

July arrived in the blink of an eye, and with the release of exam results, summer vacation was also here.

In the final exam, Xingxia Xiuyi ranked tenth in his class.

He scored full marks in all written tests, but his scores were low in the two sections on ninja tool throwing and practical combat.

Those ahead of him were all talented individuals like Kakashi and Sarutobi Asuma, who were also from ninja clans.

Don't be fooled by their seemingly inattentive attitude in class; they might be getting private tutoring and one-on-one lessons in private!

Obito Uchiha naturally became the worst student.

There's no way around it; I'm completely incapable of passing the theory exams.

Rin Nohara had done her best to give him a chance, but unfortunately Obito Uchiha was useless; he couldn't even cheat.

……

As soon as they left the school, Shizune called out to Hoshino.

Shizune asked, "Shuichi, what are your plans for summer vacation?"

Hoshita Hideichi smiled and said, "I've already arranged to train with Guy and Kakashi."

Kai, flashing a bright white smile, confidently and proudly declared, "We've already come up with a training plan, called the Summer Operation!"

"Why don't you join us, Mute?"

Shizune looked at Hoshino Shuichi, her clear eyes filled with a hint of expectation: "Is this okay? Isn't it too much trouble?"

Hoshita Shuichi immediately smiled and nodded, "Of course, you're most welcome!"

"Starting tomorrow, we'll meet outside the school at 9 a.m. Hmm... it would be best to bring your lunchbox with you."

Shizune nodded quickly: "Understood, I'll definitely be there on time... See you tomorrow."

See you tomorrow! *2!

Silently waved goodbye and left with a joyful air.

Xingxia Xiu thought that having a pretty girl to cultivate with would be quite nice, to avoid aesthetic fatigue.

Should we invite Kurenai Yuhi and Rin Nohara as well?

Hoshita Shuichi couldn't help but stroke his chin, but then shook his head inwardly: "Forget it, women will only affect my concentration in cultivation."

"Let's go, Kai, today's training officially begins!"

Hoshino Hideichi gave a shout.

Might Guy grinned and said, "Shuichi, let's have a competition and see who gets there first!"

At that moment, Kakashi appeared: "I'll give the order!"

Hoshino Hideichi immediately bowed down: "No problem."

Kai then made preparations.

Behind them, Kakashi acted as referee: "1, 2... 3, start!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xingxia Xiu instantly activated his body, exerted force with his legs, and propelled himself forward with a surge of air.

Might Guy reacted a beat slower, but followed closely behind. Moreover, his explosive power was stronger than that of Hoshino Shuichi. He leaped forward and actually caught up with Hoshino Shuichi.

The two leaped and bounded through streets and rooftops, running as fast as they could towards the training ground.

Kakashi followed behind, his gaze fixed on the two ahead, secretly analyzing: "Their reaction speed is astonishing, and it keeps improving, but Shuichi's explosive power can't compare to Guy's..."

Might Guy had already overtaken Hoshino Shuichi, but as they were about to reach their destination, Kakashi's gaze sharpened.

Kai's speed decreased, but Hoshino Shuichi overtook him.

"Hidden strength?"

Kakashi sped up: "No, Guy's speed decreased because his stamina dropped. But Shuichi, although Guy overtook him earlier, his speed remained unchanged. His stamina shouldn't be stronger than Guy's. His recovery ability?"

Kakashi learned to study and analyze others from Shuichi Hoshino.

……

Soon, the three arrived at the training ground one after another.

Might Guy, bent over and panting heavily, gave Hoshino Shuichi a thumbs-up: "As expected of Shuichi!"

Hoshino Shuichi, slightly out of breath, chuckled, "I just allocated my energy more efficiently."

Without the advantage of being "physically strong," he would definitely have lost.

Kai's training volume is much greater than his.

After all, Hoshino Shuichi had to spend time learning other things, while Guy focused on physical skills.

In this situation, Kai's progress clearly surpasses his.

With a faster recovery speed and a more reasonable distribution of physical strength, he won against Kai by a slight advantage.

With both talent and hard work, what can compare?

Of course, hang it!

……

Shuichi Hoshino's summer vacation began with a competition.

Time flew by and it was already afternoon.

Training ended earlier than usual today, but it was only 4 p.m.

However, instead of going home immediately, Hoshino Shuichi wandered around the most bustling area of ​​Konoha.

He's determined to find a way to make money this summer, not necessarily to get rich, but to earn as much as he can.

"Write a book?"

Upon seeing the bookstore, Hoshino Hideichi had an idea, but immediately rejected it.

He's not like Jiraiya, who has so much time to write books.

There isn't even enough time for studying and practicing!

Making money is for becoming stronger; we can't put the cart before the horse.

"Therefore, it would be best if it were related to ninjas..."

Hoshino Shuichi pondered to himself, his gaze sweeping over the shops on both sides of the street.

Learn medical ninjutsu to heal the sick and save lives, and then work part-time at Konoha Hospital?

However, medical ninjutsu is not so easy to learn.

Suddenly, Hoshino Shuichi's gaze fell on a shop selling ninja tools, and he stepped inside.

"Little brother, do you want to buy kunai?"

The one who spoke was a generous young woman. Hoshino Shuichi glanced at her, then stared at her youthful face full of collagen, her eyes sparkling, and her lips rosy. He blinked and asked, "Sister, besides kunai and shuriken, do you have anything else here?"

The shop is small, and what you can see are all kinds of kunai and shuriken.

There were also long, rectangular boxes on the wooden frame, which might contain knives or similar items.

The young woman leaned forward, her ample bosom nearly slapping against Xingxia Xiuyi's face. She pointed to the wooden frame and said, "Of course."

"Little brother, are you looking to buy a wakizashi?"

The aroma of milk was enticing. Hoshino Shuichi sniffed, then shook his head.

The young woman blinked: "Explosive tags?"

"Little brother, you're still a student at the Ninja Academy, right?"

"Explosive tags are very dangerous for you!"

Hoshino Shuichi immediately reached out and grabbed the young lady's slightly cold and soft hand. Taking advantage of his age (not yet six), his delicate appearance, and his bright, dark eyes, he pleaded, "Sister, you're so pretty, please sell me one?"

The young woman smiled at Hoshino Shizuka and said, "Even though you praised me, I still can't sell to you."

"But what are you going to do with it?"

"Tell me, and maybe I can help you."

Hoshino Shuichi lowered his head and put on an acting performance: "Sister, I want to learn how to make explosive tags so I can make money."

The young woman was stunned.

Hoshita Shuichi tilted his head back, his eyes brimming with tears: "Sister, I came to the Ninja Academy from an orphanage, so I want to earn money..."

What a pitiful yet sensible little guy!

The young woman hugged Hoshino Shuichi tightly, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

However, even after letting go, she still said, "Even so, I still can't sell it to you. It's too dangerous for you."

"But I can still help you, sister."

"Why don't you come help out at the store during the summer vacation? I can pay you a salary."

The script is wrong!

Hoshita Hideichi was speechless, and quickly said, "Thank you, sister, but I believe I can learn it. You know, I was the top student in the theory exam at school. If you don't believe me, you can go to school and find Mr. Kimura."

"sharp!"

The young woman first praised him, then smiled and said, "I believe you, but making explosive tags isn't that simple."

"First, you need to know about talismans, and second, you need to possess Fire Release chakra!"

"And the materials for explosive tags are also very expensive."

Hoshino Shuichi immediately changed tactics, saying with a haughty expression and tone, "Sister, I also know about talismans."

"Furthermore, I inherited my father's fire attribute and my mother's wind attribute."

"Sister, if I learn how to make explosive tags, I can have you provide the materials, I can make them, and then sell them in your shop. You just need to give me a fixed reward for each explosive tag."

What a clever little guy!

Looking at Hoshino Hideichi's appearance, Tenyun couldn't help but marvel inwardly. He thought for a moment, then got up and took out an explosive tag from the drawer. He waved it in front of Hoshino Hideichi and said with a smile, "This explosive tag costs 1000 taels, while the materials used to make it usually cost around 300 taels."

"Little brother, if you can figure out which talismans were used in this explosive tag, I can teach you how to make explosive tags, and I will give you 200 taels for each explosive tag you make, as you say."
