Ninja Pot Shadow

The three of them were busy with training, part-time jobs, and school every day. Shikamaru made an excuse to go out for a stroll and took the opportunity to tell Ino the news.

Haiyi felt that this had nothing to do with his daughter; it was Sasuke's reckless training that ruined him.

He didn't tell Ino about the series of events that followed, so Ino had no idea that Sasuke's current state was directly related to her.

She recognized the business opportunity.

The students are so enthusiastic and friendly, it's not unreasonable for me to take advantage of their kindness and make a little money, is it?

Thanks to the Yamanaka family's tireless promotion, Konoha Village practically needed to buy flowers for everything.

Buy flowers when a baby is born, buy flowers when a child starts school, buy flowers for teachers on holidays, buy flowers for graduation, buy flowers when visiting a sick person, and even when someone dies... you still need to buy flowers!

They were the only flower shop in the entire village, yet they always presented themselves as very poor.

Ino, without even bothering to greet Shikamaru and Choji, hurriedly changed the signboard in front of the shop.

She wrote on the signboard, "Buy 99 carnations and get a lucky rabbit foot as a gift. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery, good luck, and a long and blessed life!"

And you know what? As soon as the signboard was changed, the number of people buying flowers immediately increased by 50%, with most of them being Sasuke's female fans.

When Ino encounters female fans who don't want to spend money, she makes suggestive remarks.

Do you even love Sasuke? If you do, send him flowers! He's sick, so pitiful. Just dating him without sending flowers is just being a jerk!

After a barrage of flower meanings, you're tempted to buy 999 roses? Want 99? Or 9 will do!

If you buy 99 carnations, she'll give you a lucky rabbit foot for free. If someone buys the rabbit foot alone, she'll also give you two flowers with it. She earns a lot of commission every day.

While selling flowers, Ino was also researching her cooking techniques.

A bumper harvest!

The acquisition of the blame is directly related to the scale of the trouble and the people involved. If she could pin a huge blame on the Sage of Six Paths, she estimated that her own stats would be maxed out in no time. But she dared not...

The riddle-guessing only involved some students from the ninja academy, and it was normal that the black pot was filled with about half a pot of saliva. But what happened next was not normal.

The energy inside the black pot was increasing rapidly, and it had already accumulated enough to fill two pots. Ino was completely bewildered.

She bears some responsibility for Sasuke's injury, but who gets the rest? Some powerful figure? Is someone like Indra still alive? Does the world even know of Indra's existence? Probably not.

If she couldn't figure it out, she wouldn't think about it anymore. Since she already had two pots, she certainly couldn't waste them.

Ino's current attributes are 7 Ninjutsu, 3 Taijutsu, 3 Illusion, 6 Wisdom, 2 Strength, 5 Speed, 6 Spirit, and 5 Seals, for a total of 37. Her skills include Yin Release Level 2, Water Release Level 1, and she has mastered the B-rank secret technique Mind Confusion Technique, the C-rank secret technique Mind Turning Technique, the C-rank Water Release: Water Prison Technique, the C-rank Water Release: Water Chaos Wave, and the D-rank Water Release: Mist Concealment Technique.

According to Ino's analysis, the three attributes of "patience", "refinement" and "speed" are the most important.

The Kage of each village, including the Sannin, Akatsuki, Kakashi, and others, except for Kisame who was still diligently performing hand seals when overpowered characters were rampant later on, all had a "ninja" stat of 10, which is an essential attribute for a strong person.

"Essence" determines whether chakra can be transformed into chatunra.

"Speed" represents the speed at which they escaped... Payne had just floated up when they dashed out of the village in a flash, and that was it!

All three attributes are important.

Chapter Thirty-Six: Skill Point Allocation Planning

Ino's speed has always been quite high; in fact, it could be considered one of her strengths.

The original Ino had never really trained properly; her mind was always filled with thoughts of Prince Charming or her best friend, and no one knew what she was thinking about all day.

After Ino transmigrated, her training in speed was only average, yet she was able to fight to a draw with Uchiha Sasuke, who trained diligently every day, in close combat. What does this mean? It means that this body was originally very fast.

The 5 points of "speed" are basically innate attributes, a treasure bestowed upon us by our mountain bandit ancestor. We may not have bloodline limits, but we're naturally fast! In chaotic times, the Nara family is known for its wisdom, the Akimichi family for their harmless appearance, and the Yamanaka family has survived to this day because of their speed! Right? The title of "Mountain Boar" isn't given lightly!

Ino estimated that if she trained properly for a while, with her feminine agility and the gifts from her genes, she could increase her speed to 6 or 7.

In the future, we will definitely need to increase the "speed" to 10, but the timing of this upgrade is important.

Unless you become a dead person, you can't escape the Infinite Tsukuyomi no matter how fast you run. You can't just run all the way to the moon, can you? Let's leave that aside.

When Pain came to Konoha, you could have run ahead of time. Once you saw him float into the sky, don't listen to his nonsense, just run! There's a 60-70% chance you could have escaped.

Orochimaru's plan to destroy Konoha was actually not dangerous; in fact, it could be said to be quite safe. Many of Konoha's top combatants barely had to lift a finger during that battle.

Might Guy was about to go support the Third Hokage, but Kakashi stopped him, saying, "We must trust the Third Hokage." As a result, the two Kage-level ninjas stood back to back and a few Sound Ninja grunts were just flailing around aimlessly, watching helplessly as the Third Hokage used the Reaper Death Seal.

The 15th generation Ino-Shika-Cho trio also made a cameo appearance in the later stages of the Konoha destruction plan. Goodness, these three battle-experienced Jonin, relying on their family secret techniques and skillful teamwork, managed to hold their own against a few Sunagakure soldiers for a long time, resulting in a close and evenly matched battle. Can you believe it?

The rest of the Hyuga and Aburame clans, including many of Danzo's Root ninjas, remained untouched. The plan to destroy Konoha was practically a one-man show by Orochimaru and the Third Hokage. Ino estimated that she would learn from the spirit of the Fifteenth Hokage's Ino-Shika-Cho trio, team up with Shikamaru and Choji, and just fight some random soldier to be considered to have participated in the battle.

Speed ​​is important, but it's not a necessary attribute at this stage. Just max it out before Pain arrives.

Her body has entered puberty, and her strength, physique, speed, and other qualities are improving slightly every day. It would be a waste to use pot points to increase these attributes now.

Six points of "essence" is barely enough. Kakashi has six points, and Asuma, she remembers, should have seven. In this battle, if she hadn't been backstabbed by Indra's chakra, her chakra would have been more than enough. She drinks potions at home every day, and with the natural growth during puberty, she feels that her "essence" should be able to grow a little more on its own.

The two items, "speed" and "precision," are not urgent at the moment.

"Water Escape" is currently at level 1. With more practice, it can be upgraded to another level, but there's no rush.

The maximum value for basic attributes is 10 points, while the maximum level for stealth techniques is 5.

1级对应下忍，2级是中忍，3级是特别上忍，4级是上忍，5级是影。这里2级升3级需要2个锅点，3级升4级需要3个，4级升5级需要4个。

If Ino were to raise her "Ninjutsu," "Spirit," and "Seal" to level 10 and her "Water Release" to level 5, the power of her Water Release would probably be similar to that of the Second Hokage. Of course, this "similar" only refers to Water Release. The Second Hokage practiced Water Release more to deal with the Uchiha clan's Fire Release. In battle, he mainly relied on the Flying Thunder God Technique to kill enemies.

“阴遁”从2级升3级需要2个锅点，“忍”从7点升8点也需要2个锅点，在这两个选项上，井野权衡了一下。

The "Yin Escape" technique and spiritual energy are directly related to the success rate of her family's secret techniques, the Mind Disruption Technique and the subsequent Mind Transformation Technique. In her view, this Mind Disruption Technique, which uses her own spiritual energy to interfere with, modify, and influence the will of a powerful life form over a long period of time, is comparable to the Alter God.

Kotoamatsukami is a Mangekyou Sharingan eye technique that requires a massive amount of mental energy. The cooldown time for each use is extremely long. The Mind Disorder Technique also requires an unbelievable amount of mental energy. Among the Yamanaka clan, 99.9% of the clan members cannot reach this level.

Ino had "seen" the strength of Indra's chakra. To be honest, she felt that even after painstakingly practicing Yin Release and leveling it up to level 5, the accumulated mental energy she had couldn't reach the point of controlling a god with her mind. Humans have limits; how could a human possibly control a god? Was she supposed to tell Inoichi, "Dad, I'm not going to be human anymore!"

It seems that the only way out is to find a good friend, then kill him with your own hands to gain immense spiritual energy.

Ino didn't want to become mentally ill, so she came up with the idea of ​​relying on ninjutsu.

She set her sights on Kato Dan's "Spirit Transformation Technique," which should be able to greatly enhance spiritual energy and is very compatible with the Yamanaka family's secret techniques. However, Kato Dan has been dead for many years, and as his family's secret technique, the village has not included the Spirit Transformation Technique. If she wants to learn this technique, she will have to find a way from Tsunade and Shizune in the future.

If Tsunade and Shizune don't have the Spirit Transformation Technique, she'll have to resort to the most troublesome method: Impure World Reincarnation, and have Dan Kato personally teach her...

After some deliberation, Ino placed the two pots in the "Ninja" area. The two pots combined to form a powerful energy, increasing her "Ninja" from 7 to 8.

In just a moment, she felt that her understanding of ninjutsu, the inspiration she had when learning ninjutsu, and the power she had when casting ninjutsu had all increased to varying degrees.

During her previous battle with Sasuke, the reason why Ino was able to suppress the Great Fireball Technique in a short time was not only due to the elemental advantage, but also because Ino's "ninjutsu" was superior to Sasuke's.

Now that her "ninjutsu" has increased from 7 to 8, if Sasuke uses the Great Fireball Jutsu on her again, her Water Chaos Wave will suppress him instantly.

The "Ninja" rank of 8 is already very high in the ninja world. Kabuto Yakushi, who never left Konoha, was at about the same level.

After adding points, she felt she had some new ideas about the ninjutsu she had already mastered. At this point, she could easily learn even the Jonin-level ninjutsu. She planned to find an opportunity to talk to Inoichi about learning the Shadow Clone Technique.

There's no need to create too many shadow clones; four will suffice. One will train in taijutsu, one in secret techniques and Yin Release, one in water release, and one in hand seals. Her weaknesses will be quickly overcome.

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Kakashi and Sasuke

In the evening, Shikamaru and Choji returned to the mountain flower shop, bringing Hinata, Kiba, and Shino with them. The group discussed buying some flowers to visit Sasuke.

Seeing that everyone was going to visit, Ino felt it would be inappropriate for her, as a classmate, not to go. So she agreed to go to Konoha Hospital with them. However, she still had to pay for the flowers they bought. Even close brothers and sisters should keep their accounts straight. They took out their money one by one. She didn't even spare Hinata, let alone Shikamaru and Choji.

"You, give me the money!" She reached out her hand to Shino Aburame.

Wearing sunglasses and with most of her face covered by a hood, Shino Aburame, standing in the corner, exclaimed in surprise: "This doesn't make sense! You only noticed me when I asked for money? What kind of special ability is this?"

Ino herself was also quite puzzled: "Yeah, isn't it a coincidence? I don't know how it happened, but I saw you at a glance. Don't try to fool me, hurry up and give me the money."

"……it is good."

……

It's not wartime now, so there aren't many patients in Konoha Hospital.

Ino came to visit as if nothing had happened, but seeing Sakura crying her eyes out in the ward, she couldn't help but take a second look.

Sasuke lay listlessly on the hospital bed, his eyes completely devoid of life. Ino was startled. What was going on? Had he reached the ultimate form of the Mangekyou Sharingan and gone blind?

She immediately realized the crisis: if Sasuke went blind, who would Naruto turn to for support? Could Naruto ever reach his former heights again? And who would seal away Kaguya Otsutsuki in the future?

This is also one of the reasons why she was hesitant to fight Sasuke, fearing that if she used too much force, she might kill the savior and then suffer the consequences herself.

"Hey, why are you so listless? This isn't the Uchiha Sasuke I know," she said.

Sasuke turned to look at her.

Ino looked closely and realized that the school heartthrob wasn't blind; his eyes were just hazy, like he had cataracts. In reality, he still had vision and wasn't blind.

She was a little confused: "...How did you become like this?"

Sasuke remained arrogant: "None of your business!"

Ino has never learned medical ninjutsu, nor has she ever had the experience of opening her eyes. At this moment, she doesn't want to meddle in other people's business. It's best if it has nothing to do with me. If you say it has something to do with me, I'll find it troublesome.

She casually said something polite: "Hmm, you look pretty energetic. Okay, get some rest..."

"Hey!" Sasuke suddenly called out to her, saying, "Use that secret technique on me again."

"Now?" Ino didn't want to be slashed by Indra's chakra again, so she shook her head: "I refuse. That kind of secret technique is not suitable for use in a classmate competition. Besides, you need to take care of your health now, not fight me."

"Are you afraid?"

"...Hehe, think what you want, whatever you think, I don't care."

Sasuke looked like everyone owed him five hundred dollars, so Ino had no interest in wasting words with him and started talking about serious business with Shikamaru outside the ward.

"Sigh! Have you talked to Uncle Lu Jiu about renting the house?"

Shikamaru leaned against the wall and said lazily, "I said we can handle this ourselves, but the clan won't provide too many houses. After all, renting out too many houses will cause some troublesome issues."

Ino was very interested in collecting rent, while Shikamaru was too lazy to do anything. After some discussion, Shikamaru handed over the houses that Shikaku had assigned to him to Ino to manage, and the two split the profits 60/40, with Ino taking a larger share.

"Don't set the rent too high," Shikamaru cautioned.

Ino waved her hand: "Okay, okay."

Ninjas are definitely a high-income group in this world, but most of them live a very frugal life, and the common people at the bottom are even worse off.

Konoha Village is located within the Land of Fire. The weather here is favorable, the land is fertile, and the income situation is slightly better, but that's about it. A group of commoners wearing straw sandals and cloth clothes rent out their houses, but they don't actually earn much money.

Ino sighed heavily, realizing how poor she really was.

……
