Ninja Pot Shadow

Inheriting from cells is not an option for Ino. She is already twelve years old, almost thirteen, and it is impossible for her to return to infancy. Even if she could go back, the one in sixty success rate is too low.

She could only try to meet the conditions for using Wood Release and see if she could force it out using the cooking pot technique.

The problem is that she doesn't know what she lacks, and Kazamatsuri Moegi in front of her is an excellent target for observation.

Kazamatsuri Moegi is probably a descendant of the Senju clan scattered in the village, which is a fairly reasonable explanation. But why does Tsunade, who is a direct relative of Hashirama Senju, not have Wood Release, while Wood Release appears on a side branch here?

Could it be that Kazamatsuri Moegi's talent is stronger than Tsunade's? Does she have more chakra than Tsunade? That's completely impossible! There must be something unknown about this.

Secret medicines, secret techniques, some kind of chakra fusion trick, or simply some special bloodline awakening method passed down from ancestors—these were the only things Ino could think of.

She was observing from the shadows while Naruto was still bragging to the three kids from Konohamaru's army.

Shikaku told them not to leak Mizuki's secret and to keep it strictly confidential. Ino and the others kept their mouths shut and no one told anyone. Naruto didn't take it seriously at all and was vividly describing Mizuki's conspiracy.

How the other party tricked him into stealing the Book of Seals, and how he and Iruka-sensei wisely discovered Mizuki's conspiracy.

Ino and her friends had nothing to do with the entire story.

Eight-year-olds like Konohamaru are going through a rebellious phase. When you tell them stories about students beating up their teachers, their eyes light up.

When the conversation turned to how he specifically defeated Mizuki, Naruto's topic veered off-topic. When Ino, who was hiding in the shadows, heard him talking at length about "wanting to be voluptuous," "wanting to be curvy," and "wanting to seduce," she was speechless.

Konohamaru was truly ruined by Naruto; no wonder he'll later utter the famous line, "The way of the ninja is my girlfriend"...

Konohamaru and his bespectacled sidekick, Ise Udon, were both excited about the Sexy Jutsu. Kazamatsuri Moegi, however, couldn't take it anymore. "Big brother! I'm a girl! Don't you even consider me a girl? Saying these things in public, have you even considered my feelings?!"

People in the ninja world tend to mature early. Originally, eight-year-old Moegi had some interest in Konohamaru, after all, he was the one who wrote "My village chief grandpa" in his essays. But now? Heh, since you guys are so good at playing around, you should go live with your big brother Naruto!

"Bastards! Idiots! A bunch of perverts!" Moegi didn't even spare "Big Brother Naruto," slapping each of them hard across the face, leaving the three bewildered individuals behind as they angrily left on their own.

The little girl walked home with her head down, feeling more and more wronged. As she walked, she didn't notice and bumped into an older girl.

Half an hour later, Ino was applying medicine to Kazamatsuri Moegi in her own flower shop.

Moegi's hand was slightly scratched when she fell. Ino took the opportunity to grab the little girl's hand and examine it carefully from all angles. She saw that her recovery ability was really average, just ordinary, at the level of a normal person. It definitely didn't have the recovery ability of the First Hokage, who could stand up as if nothing had happened after lying on the ground for two minutes after being stabbed seventeen or eighteen times.

If Ino can connect with a "close friend" who is sixteen years older than her, then an eight-year-old girl is even less of a problem.

She talked about ninja academies, some shopping and bargaining tips, and even used chakra to control water flow and perform two little magic tricks. In Moegi's words, she went from being "Yamano-senpai" to "Ino-neechan".

"Alright, don't get it wet when you get back, you'll recover quickly." Ino smiled as she bandaged Moegi's neck.

"Thank you, sister," Meng Huang said politely.

Ino poured her a cup of tea, and the two chatted and laughed, quickly becoming acquainted.

"My sister is the top student in this year's graduation exam? That's amazing!" Moegi is also a student at the Ninja Academy, four grades below Ino and the others. No one knows who the second-place student is, but the name of the first-place student is well-known to these students. Many teachers compare Ino with the previous year's top student, Hyuga Neji. With so many comparisons, the students naturally have a deep impression of her.

With curiosity, Moegi asked, "Big sister, who's stronger, you or Neji-senpai?"

"Haha," Ino laughed, her tone particularly modest: "I haven't fought him, so it's hard to say. I estimate... I probably wouldn't be a match for him. After all, Neji-senpai is a year older than me and a genius of the Hyuga clan. I'm just good at studying."

Meng Huang pouted and said, "I think my older sister is amazing. She has a great temperament and is gentle. She is a role model for us female ninjas."

Smelling the fresh fragrance of flowers in the flower shop and seeing the gentle and beautiful older sister, Meng Huang was still very excited. Isn't this older sister better than that older brother Naruto who has nothing but Naito on his mind?

Chapter 55 Class Assignment Explanation Meeting

"By the way, what is your goal, sister?" Moegi asked seriously.

Ino looked into the distance: "She should become an excellent female ninja like Lady Tsunade."

Being prone to boasting is also a common trait among many ninjas; Naruto, who often says "I want to be Hokage," is a prime example.

You must find a goal and let those around you know your ambition, regardless of whether it's reasonable or not, that's how it is in Konoha Village anyway.

If Ino wants to reach higher levels, she must establish a qualified and plausible persona in the early stages, letting those around her, including but not limited to her parents, teachers, and friends, know her thoughts.

Tsunade was one of her few options.

The Legendary Sannin of Konoha were all excellent teachers. Orochimaru's help to Sasuke was evident to all. Although Jiraiya seemed like a fake teacher when he taught Naruto, saying "I don't teach wind-style chakra nature transformation, Sage Mode, or Tailed Beast Transformation," and only focused on building a solid foundation, he actually filled in Naruto's shabby foundation. Without this foundation, there would have been no later breakthrough.

Tsunade also devoted herself to teaching Sakura. Being the Hokage was so busy that she barely had time to drink, but she still made time to teach the weak Sakura into a capable female ninja.

Ino can theoretically learn all the skills she lacks from Tsunade, including taijutsu, Sage Mode, spirit transformation techniques, and medical ninjutsu.

In the original timeline, Ino also became Tsunade's apprentice, but she didn't learn the skills, thus missing a great opportunity. Now, Ino tells everyone that she takes Tsunade as her role model, so that when she becomes an apprentice in the future, it won't seem abrupt.

The adorable yellow chick nodded like it was pecking at rice: "Yes, yes, I also want to take Ino-neechan as my goal and become an outstanding female ninja like Tsunade-sama in the future!"

Ino was a little disappointed that she didn't say "Tsunade is our relative," but that's normal. The kinship between the two families is probably very distant. Not to mention the child, even the adults probably wouldn't know. The Third Hokage allowed her to play with his grandson, probably because he thought they were just an ordinary ninja family and had no connection with the Senju clan at all.

If the secret that they were descendants of the Senju clan were truly exposed, Danzo would have arrested them long ago. Why would he have waited until today?

This big secret should not have been exposed.

The relationship between the two sides can be gradually improved; Ino is not in a hurry.

She used chakra paper to test Moegi's chakra affinity, and sure enough, the little girl was most affinityd to water, followed by earth, exactly the same as Ino...

Considering that Moegi will become the leader of the 17th Ino-Shika-Cho trio, Ino even suspected that this little girl might be related to her. If they weren't related, why should she be allowed to lead the next generation of Ino-Shika-Cho?

Seeing that the two had the same chakra attribute, Ino decided to increase her investment.

She gave Moegi a scroll of her own learning on water-style chakra nature transformation. The Mist Transformation Technique and the Water Prison Technique were provided to her by the Yamanaka family. Even though there were many people who knew them, she couldn't pass them on due to family rules. Her own learning experience didn't matter; it was her own stuff. She gave one to Sakura that day, and now she was giving one to Moegi as well.

In Ino immediately rose to the position of the big sister in Moegi's heart. This learning scroll was more advanced than the seduction technique no matter how you looked at it, right? She had decided that Ino was the big sister!

"Goodbye, sister! Come visit me sometime!"

"Goodbye, Moe-Girl! Study hard!"

The week-long holiday came to a quick end.

The graduating genin will soon have a class assignment explanation meeting.

At 8:30, Ino arrived at school.

"Did you come as a shadow clone today?" Shikamaru asked her listlessly.

"How could that be? I'm here in my true form. Isn't today the class assignment briefing? Sending a clone would be disrespectful to the Jonin in charge."

The Third Hokage's son, Sarutobi Asuma, was coming to lead their generation's Ino-Shika-Cho trio. Inoichi had already told her this news.

Whether for public or private reasons, Ino has to let the main body come over; it's basic courtesy.

With thirty minutes to go before the 9 o'clock briefing, she sat quietly in her seat, waiting.

"Sasuke-kun?!" Sakura pushed open the door, stepped into the classroom, and rushed towards Sasuke immediately.

As always, Naruto stepped forward, trying to attract Sakura's attention with his clumsy antics.

Even though Ino and Sakura no longer argue, Sasuke still has quite a few female admirers in the class, with several girls vying for his attention.

Naruto was furious at Sasuke's popularity with women, so he jumped onto Sasuke's desk and stared down at him, both of them glaring at each other with murderous intent.

Sakura, seeing Naruto challenging her Prince Charming, angrily punched him: "You bastard Naruto, stay away from Sasuke... Ah! This, this is..."

Naruto screamed as Sakura punched his left arm to pieces, splattering blood, muscle, and bone everywhere like a fountain, some of which landed on Sakura's face and clothes.

She was completely stunned. How could this be?

"Do I really have that much power?" Her voice trembled. She knew she had caused a huge disaster, but she didn't know how to make amends. She could only mechanically repeat, "Naruto-kun, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to, I really didn't mean to..."

Sakura was filled with trepidation when she saw Naruto staring at her menacingly. In just an instant, Naruto's hair turned from yellow to red, and his eyes, which used to look somewhat lewd, now exuded an air of great authority.

Naruto's eyes widened, and he said to her, word by word, "Get out of here!"

"Let me explain, let me explain..."

"Get out!"

Sakura's eyes were filled with tears, and she instinctively went to Ino, thinking that Ino might be able to solve the problem at hand.

Ino? Only then did she realize something was wrong—where was Ino?

She looked around again and felt something was wrong; there were just too many suspicious points around her.

Thinking about the knowledge taught by the teacher in class, she concluded that she must have been under an illusion.

Currently, there is someone in the class who has the opportunity to learn illusion magic, and after learning it, deliberately uses it to prank her... She can only think of one person!

"Inoboar! I'll never forgive you! Aaaaaah!"

With her last hope, Sakura closed her eyes and forcefully activated the chakra within her body, forming hand seals: "This isn't real, it's a genjutsu, it must be a genjutsu! Release! Release it!"

The illusionary world receded like the tide, and Sakura opened her eyes to find everyone staring in disbelief.

She spotted Ino's strange expression in the crowd at a glance: "Ino-boo, I'm going to kill you! Huh? What are you all looking at?"

Sakura turned around sharply and realized that she had knocked over a desk when she broke the genjutsu, and right on the desk stood a nasty kid named Naruto.

The desk was knocked over, the annoying kid lost his balance, shifted forward, and ended up face-to-face with Sasuke, finally managing to stay upright together...

Chapter 56 Class 10

The scene was so shocking that the classroom fell completely silent.

Naruto and Sasuke, the two involved parties, were completely dazed. After a couple of seconds of stunned silence, they quickly separated as if they had swallowed flies, their faces pale and both gagging.

Sakura, who had orchestrated this situation herself, trembled uncontrollably, her expression blank, her eyes lifeless, and she seemed completely devoid of any thought.

The onlookers were also stunned by this scene.

Hinata's face turned ashen. She never expected this. So Naruto-kun liked Sasuke-kun. She knew she had no chance...

Kiba Inuzuka stared in disbelief, Shino Aburame frowned in thought, and Choji the fat boy quickly turned his head. Such a terrifying scene was too shocking for his young mind; he was still a child!

Even Shikamaru, who is usually calm and composed, looked like he had seen a ghost.

No one could have imagined that they would see such explosive content on the eve of waiting for class assignments.

Sasuke's female fans all wore heartbroken expressions, and some even clutched their chests, looking pained, as if a huge rock was blocking their breathing.

Ino's gaze was also somewhat vacant, but as the instigator, she was studying her own gains.

Big gain!

She always judges who gets blamed based on influence or the importance of those involved. The bigger the incident and the higher the status of the people involved, the more blame she gets.

She used to graffiti the Hokage Rock by transforming into Naruto and smash people's windows by transforming into Sasuke. These things didn't have much impact. But if the savior smashes your window, would you have a problem with that?

Now, a newly learned D-rank illusion technique, Naraku's Sight Technique, has influenced Sakura. This scapegoat isn't important, but the two people involved in the incident and the resulting impact are extremely profound.
