Naruto: They are all reborn.

Chapter 7 Little Ugly

"Well……"

Shi Xu let out a soft hum, his consciousness gradually returning from the state of being disconnected.

The fragrance of the herbs caught his awakened mind, and the warm water enveloped him tightly. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the bathroom ceiling.

"Did I... fall asleep?"

He raised his hand above his head and stretched vigorously, his muscles sending signals of soreness and weakness through him.

Just then, Tsunade's voice came from outside the door.

"woke up?"

"Yes, she's awake."

No sooner had she finished speaking than the bathroom door was violently pulled open, and Tsunade walked straight in.

Shi Xu froze for a moment, instinctively covering her private parts, and stammered, "T-Teacher, what are you doing... Ouch, I'm not dressed yet..."

"I've already seen it all, what's there to hide?" Tsunade rolled her eyes and reached her right hand into the water to touch and pinch his body.

It was just to check my physical condition after the intense training; there was no other meaning.

"Hmm...it's been so long since I've squeezed something like this, and...it feels really nice."

In her previous life, Tsunade had no intention of bringing Kushina and Toki together. Every time Toki fainted during training, she would carry him back, take off his clothes, and wash him clean.

Uzumaki Toki: "..."

He was just wondering who helped him take off his clothes, and now he knows the answer.

But one thing at a time!

Just because Tsunade has seen him doesn't mean he can calmly accept being naked in front of her! He's not a real child!

"Teacher, could you leave me a pair of pants next time?" Shi Xu asked tentatively.

Tsunade shook her head: "No, that will affect the absorption efficiency of the medicine. Just stay soaking."

"oh."

After that sound, the two remained silent until Tsunade pulled her hand out to indicate that it was done.

"Everything is fine. You can come out after soaking for another half hour. I'll go prepare dinner first."

"Um."

Shi Xu nodded weakly, then sank down, burying half her face in the water, trying to escape reality in this way.

The half bowl of tonic he drank earlier was to replenish his body's deficiencies, but in order for the tonic to be fully absorbed and effective, he needed to be trained in physical techniques.

After extensive physical training, muscle soreness and swelling are inevitable. This medicinal bath aims to relieve muscle fatigue, speed up recovery, and combined with the physique of the Uzumaki clan, one will wake up tomorrow with a brand new body.

In this dangerous world, strength is the foundation for survival. As for taking off clothes... well, so be it, it won't kill you.

After the medicinal bath was over, Shi Xu got out of the bathtub, washed herself clean, and then went outside.

He spotted Kushina at the corner of the corridor and waved, "Kushina-neechan."

However, Kushina ran away as soon as she heard his voice, her movements hurried and rushed, as if she had something urgent to deal with.

It wasn't until dinner that Tokio finally seized the opportunity to ask, "Kushina-neechan, is there anything I can help you with?"

"no."

Kushina answered immediately, shaking her head hastily, her cheeks almost the same color as her hair.

"……All right."

Although she had some questions, Shi Xu didn't ask any more. After finishing dinner, she went back to her room to rest.

The following week proceeded in the same routine: during the day, Rin Nohara and Kakashi would tutor him; after school, Kushina would lead his training; and after waking up in the bathroom, Tsunade would examine his body…

Shi Xu's physical fitness is improving at an almost visible rate, and he feels like he is surpassing himself by a large margin every day.

However, the training content arranged by Kushina was increasing day by day, and it seemed that she would not stop until she was exhausted. If it weren't for the various tonics and the physique of the Uzumaki clan, her body would probably have been ruined long ago.

Ninja Academy.

"Shi Xu, how come you're so tall?"

Nohara Rin stood on tiptoe and used her hand to measure the height difference between the two of them.

A week ago, he was only about half a head taller than me, but now he's a whole head taller. His body has also broadened considerably, unlike before when he was practically just a skeleton.

Seeing the two acting so intimately, Obito felt very uncomfortable.

He crossed his arms, deliberately feigning disdain: "Tch, what's the use of being tall? You'll just fall over in no time."

"How did you know?" Nohara Rin retorted.

It would have been better if she hadn't said it; the fact that she did made Obito feel even worse.

Lin, why are you taking his side?!

After much hesitation, Obito still didn't dare to question Rin, and instead directed his anger at another person involved.

"Shi Xu, have you ever participated in any real combat drills?"

"Real combat?" Toki shook his head, then said, "But I'm very interested in real combat training. Obito, how about you come and try it out with me?"

Seeing that he had taken the initiative to challenge him to a duel, Obito was overjoyed: "Alright, come on, I'll teach you, this is the Seal of Opposition..."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Seeing the two of them so excited, Nohara Rin couldn't help but sigh. She decided to bring Kakashi over as a referee to keep an eye on things and prevent any accidents from happening.

The group then walked to an open space.

Kakashi raised his hand and announced, "Uzumaki Toki, Uchiha Obito, form the Opposing Hand Seal."

After completing the hand seals, Obito unleashed a straight punch aimed directly at his face, swift and powerful.

Get out of the way.

This was the only thought in Shi Xu's mind. His body moved with his will, taking half a step back to dodge the punch. His right hand formed a hook and he threw it at Obito's chest.

He had never learned any martial arts routines, but he had watched many kung fu movies in his previous life, so he could imitate them and do a few moves.

Obito remained calm. He used his left hand to push Shi Xu's fist inward, while simultaneously stepping forward with his right foot behind Shi Xu. He then grabbed Shi Xu's upper body with his right hand and hooked his foot back.

With a "thud!", Shi Xu was swiftly and cleanly knocked to the ground.

"Phew! I won!"

Obito jumped up excitedly, clenching his right fist and swinging it out fiercely.

He had often suffered setbacks at Kakashi's hands, so now that he had finally won and could also vent his anger, how could he not be happy?

Nohara Rin stepped forward and extended her right hand to Toki, who was sitting on the ground: "The ground is cold, get up first."

Shi Xu was still reviewing the battle and thinking about how to fight next time: "Um... thank you."

Kakashi stepped forward and patted Obito on the shoulder: "Hey, don't get too excited, let's look back."

"Um?"

Obito, confused, turned his head and saw Nohara Rin pulling Toki up from the ground.

Holding hands...

This scene was magnified infinitely in Obito's view.

click-

In that instant, Kakashi seemed to hear something shatter.

Obito seemed to have lost all his energy, collapsing weakly to his knees and looking up at the sky.

"What...did I do?"

Kakashi narrowed his eyes slightly, squatted down, and whispered in his ear, "Don't be discouraged. At least you gave him a push from behind, which was quite helpful."

Click, click—

Now it's shattered even more completely.
