Naruto: The Infinite New World

Chapter 12: Another Lesson

Life at the ninja academy is meaningless.

At least for Uchiha Kin, this is the case.

He had already memorized the knowledge from the Ninja Academy, but the Will of Fire was thrown into the trash, as was his combat experience.

He believes more in the value of practical experience.

The commotion brought Jin back to her senses, and she looked up as the setting sun shone on her face.

I also saw Inoue Satoru with a dark expression.

Just ignore him.

Minato Namikaze, who was about to push Jin awake, awkwardly withdrew his hand.

Jin woke up right on time.

There was absolutely no need for him to call out to him.

"We're going to eat barbecue, Jin, do you want to come?"

Jin glanced at Kushina, who was waiting beside him with her ears perked up, and Minato Namikaze, who was smiling brightly in front of him. Although the two of them were still in the stage of innocent crush, he didn't want to be subjected to their public displays of affection.

but.

"Are you treating?"

That's a different story if someone else is treating.

Minato Namikaze was genuinely embarrassed. He couldn't afford to treat anyone to a meal. He was just from an ordinary commoner family, and he was the only one in his family to become a ninja.

"My treat!"

Kushina Uzumaki slammed her hand on the table; after all, these were her only two underlings.

Unbeknownst to him, Jin had become one of Kushina's underlings.

But just as Kushina said she was paying...

Jin has already disappeared from his seat.

"Huh!?"

What about people?

"Hey, what are you guys waiting for?" Jin waved as he appeared at the classroom door. "Let's go get some barbecue!"

If someone is not proactive in their work, there's something wrong with their thinking.

This was done even though someone paid for it.

Minato Namikaze: ...

Uzumaki Kushina:.

Why are your movements so practiced, and... so fast!

"Wait!" Hinata Kiyoshi walked up to Namikaze Minato with a dark face.

"I want to go too."

Hyuga Kiyoshi had been curious for a long time about why Minato Namikaze's strength had increased so rapidly, and this time he was determined to find out the secret.

"I'm not inviting you." Kushina Uzumaki turned her head away; she wasn't familiar with Kiyoshi Hyuga.

To be precise, apart from Minato Namikaze and Kin Uchiha, no one in the entire class would take the initiative to approach her.

She wouldn't be taken advantage of.

Hyuga Kiyoshi looked at Kushina with a cold smile and waved his hand.

"It's my treat."

The Hyuga family is wealthy and powerful; even if he's a branch family member, they can still afford to treat him to a barbecue.

"That's so extravagant and domineering."

Jin patted Hyuga Kiyoshi on the shoulder, startling him so much that he almost used Gentle Fist to attack.

Wasn't this guy at the door? When did he get here? How come he appears and disappears like a ghost?

wrong.

Hinata Kiyoshi stared intently at Kin, who was eager to eat the barbecue.

This guy is something else.

Inoue Satoru, his face dark, watched as the students completely ignored him and walked out of the classroom.

He was filled with deep doubt.

"Am I... really suited to teaching students?"

Jin is indeed not simple.

Moreover, Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki were not simple characters either.

Inside the barbecue restaurant, Hinata Kiyoshi looked at the plates stacked up like a small mountain.

His heart was aching slightly.

That's an amount of food most people couldn't handle; he could practically hear his wallet screaming in despair.

"I'm sorry, wallet, I can't save you." Hinata Kiyoshi silently mourned for his wallet.

The Hyuga clan is a family of men; they never go back on their word.

And this was in front of the despicable Uchiha.

The Hyuga clan is the best in Konoha!! (Voice cracks)

"Boss, another one, please." Jin raised his hand and called out.

Hinata Kiyoshi's face fell. Actually, people don't need to be so stubborn.

Kim is fighting with Kushina over the grilled meat on the grill plate.

The two stared intently at each other, as if two electric arcs were colliding.

This is a formidable rival.

The chopsticks frantically picked up slices of meat at the same time, the two pairs of chopsticks like swords on a battlefield, quickly harvesting the roasted meat.

Minato Namikaze glanced apologetically at Kiyoshi Hyuga, and hurriedly picked up a piece of meat amidst the aftershocks of their battle.

Since he started practicing basic internal energy cultivation, his appetite and strength have been increasing day by day.

Although he can't keep up with the two competitors, he's still a potential big eater.

Hinata Kiyoshi looked at those plates with heartache; they represented his entire savings account.

However, he didn't understand at all.

The dinner table is a battlefield.

I picked up a piece of meat, intending to put it in my mouth, but it came out empty.

"Where's my meat?!"

Seeing the three men with shifty eyes, puffed-out cheeks, and constant chewing of the meat in their mouths, the three who went the worst showed no intention of stopping to explain.

Okay, so this is how you play it?

"Roll your eyes! Activate!"

Hinata Kiyoshi volunteered to fight, forcefully inserting his chopsticks into the battlefield with a gentle fist-like motion.

He had already grasped the meaning of war at the dinner table.

Those who can't get meat are only fit to eat white rice.

When Jin finished eating and drinking and was picking his teeth...

Kushina glared angrily at Hyuga Kiyoshi.

"You fouled!"

Who uses taijutsu to activate their bloodline limit while eating?

There's no such thing!!!

Hinata Kiyoshi turned his head from looking at the mountain of plates and saw that Kushina's face was already covered in tears.

"You have a problem with that?"

He spent so much money, he can't just skip a bite.

Kushina gave an awkward smile and turned her head away.

I have some money here.

Minato Namikaze took out his only pocket money.

Hyuga Kiyoshi looked at the 100 ryo in Namikaze Minato's hand and was moved to tears.

Minato Namikaze truly deserves to be number one on the popularity charts.

They will lend a helping hand when he is in his most difficult time.

Just as his trembling hand reached for the money, his expression suddenly changed.

Minato Namikaze was his lifelong rival, how could he be bought off like this?!

"I will never fall into your trap."

Hinata Kiyoshi reluctantly refused.

"Huh?" Minato Namikaze scratched his head, not understanding what Kiyoshi Hyuga meant.

"Hurry up, it's time to pay the bill."

Jin, who doesn't want any dough at all, is still urging him on, picking his teeth with a toothpick.

"While we're at it, let's go to the training ground. I'll teach you something."

He already has a new trump card; those four moves can be used now.

The four forms also have subsequent training directions.

Unfortunately, he was limited by his cheat-like abilities.

Hinata Kiyoshi looked puzzled, but still went to pay the bill.

With the barbecue restaurant owner forcing a smile, Hinata Kiyoshi emptied his wallet.

Looking at the grin on Hyuga Kiyoshi's face, which even his ninjutsu couldn't suppress, you could tell just how much money Hyuga Kiyoshi had spent.

Holding the few coins left in my wallet, I felt utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally.

"I wonder if my cousin could take me in for a few months."

This was several months' worth of his expenses, gone in a single meal.

Who are these three gluttons?

As I stepped outside, I saw the three of them talking about something, and I silently clenched my fists.

He felt like he was being taken advantage of, and as he approached the three, he heard Uchiha Kin sigh.

"There are fewer and fewer people on the streets."

Despite being on a commercial street, there were only a handful of people, and even the four of them couldn't make up two hands to count them.

Hyuga Kiyoya had overheard the ninjas in his clan discussing this, and he spoke of it.

"I heard that the ninjas from the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind are trying to invade the Land of Fire, so all the ninjas in the village have gone to scout and defend."

Minato Namikaze sighed, "The people in the village are afraid that ninjas from other countries will invade, so they dare not go out."

Kushina Uzumaki remained silent. Of the four people present, only she knew the cruelty of war; her home had been destroyed.

They could all sense the smell of war.

"Let's hurry up and get stronger, because the year we graduate, we might be entering the battlefield."

Although Jin spoke vaguely, he was certain in his heart that they would inevitably be drawn into the war.

"So what are you going to teach us?" Hinata Kiyoshi asked Kin curiously.

Jin glanced at him, then rested her head on Diejia's palm.

"Come with me and you'll see."

Seeing that Minato Namikaze and Kushina didn't seem to suspect anything, Hyuga Kiyoshi followed Gin forward, seemingly understanding but not quite.

After walking through several streets, the area became increasingly remote.

They even ventured into the forest.

"Why did you come to such a remote place?"

The answer was Minato Namikaze.

Last time it was by the stream, how did it end up in the forest this time?

Jin chuckled: "I've found a secret base where we can train from now on, just the few of us."

When he said "us," his eyes swept across the bushes.

Kushina and Minato both noticed Gin's subtle actions.

Both of them fell silent.

Since they began practicing basic internal energy cultivation, their senses have become increasingly acute, and the two of them had already discovered the several ANBU members who had been following Kushina.

Kushina understood the situation but pretended not to know. Minato Namikaze, though not understanding, knew that this was not something a ninja academy student like him could interfere with.

A dilapidated training ground deep in the forest.

Minato and the other two sat on the ground, while Kin stood on a tree stump with his hands behind his back.

"Starting today, I will teach you four physical techniques."

"Physical techniques?" Hyuga Seiichi was quite disdainful upon hearing this; he had thought it was something else entirely.

"You seem unconvinced. Want to give it a try?"

Jin smiled as he looked at Hinata Kiyoshi.

Hyuga Kiyoshi, who didn't even submit to Namikaze Minato, immediately stood up and assumed a fighting stance.

"This is you...."

Before he could finish speaking, Jin was already face to face with him, his smiling face looking extremely annoying.

"One of the four techniques: shaving."

Hyuga Kiyoshi didn't stop, immediately unleashing the Gentle Fist.

His hands moved so fast that they even left afterimages.

But Jin swayed back and forth in his soft fists, like paper, and could not be hit at all.

The less he could reach Hyuga Kiyoshi, the more impatient he became, and his attack frequency increased.

"This is one of the four styles: paper drawing."

After practicing the paper drawing, Jin suddenly stopped and straightened his body, giving Hyuga Kiyoshi an opportunity to quickly strike Jin's pressure points with both hands and feet.

Each strike hit the chakra pathways in his body, yet Jin remained standing, without a single injury.

She even winked at him.

This guy is even more infuriating than Minato Namikaze!!

but.

Hinata Kiyoshi stopped and took two steps back, his hands behind his back were red and swollen.

Why is this guy so hard?

All that could be heard was Jin's calm voice.

"One of the four styles, the iron block."

After saying that, he raised his hand and pointed at a tree branch next to him. When he lifted his finger, a deep hole appeared on it.

"One of the four techniques: Finger Pistol".

"These are the four physical techniques I'm going to teach you."
