Ninja Pot Shadow

Mitokado Homura carefully questioned Shikaku: Was any evidence found at the scene? Besides a statement that was somewhat far away, was there any direct physical evidence? Upon hearing that there was none, the old man was relieved. As long as there was no direct evidence, it was fine. Ninjas did have an unspoken rule against targeting political figures, but as long as there was no direct evidence, everything was alright.

You think it's true just because you say so? You can just pick any ninja to accuse Danzo of murder? Don't be ridiculous.

Koharu Utatane's idea was quite ninja-like. She thought this matter was not insignificant, but not that serious: "Hiruzen, since the person is already dead and the daimyo doesn't mind, let's leave it at that. Tango was just a daimyo's retainer. There are sycophants like that everywhere. We'll send someone to the funeral and promise to continue investigating this matter. I think that's enough."

Her implicit message was clear: Who was Tanhe? To put it nicely, he was a high-ranking official; to put it bluntly, he was just a dog of the daimyo. Even if Danzo had killed the person, so what? Did he expect Danzo to pay for the life of his daimyo's dog?

The Third Hokage thought further ahead than she did. He believed that the relationship between the Daimyo and the ninja village was deteriorating, but what could he do?

Ino, this time traveler, has firmly sided with the ninjas. Could the Third Hokage betray his class and his own village?

He pondered for a moment and then gave the order: "Shikaku, you go to Tanhe's funeral. Kakashi, you lead the Anbu to search for Danzo's whereabouts. Report back to me when you find him."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

A high-ranking official who could participate in the daimyo's council died suddenly and inexplicably.

The large pot landed squarely on Danzo's head.

The Daimyo, Konoha, and even Orochimaru, a mere bystander, all believed that Danzo was behind it.

……

Danzo learned about this news from the newspaper.

He had known about the events at Otogakure from the beginning, and at this moment he was leading the Root ninjas to ambush Konoha on their way back to Otogakure.

Orochimaru's plan to assassinate the Third Hokage, according to Danzo's plan, would most likely succeed, and the Third Hokage would be close to death.

Orochimaru will definitely pay a heavy price for killing the Third Hokage. Taking advantage of his serious injury and return to the village to recuperate, the Root ninjas can swarm in and have a high chance of capturing or killing this rogue ninja.

When Danzo returns to Konoha with his great achievements, he doesn't believe anyone will stand in his way of becoming the Fifth Hokage.

At this point, he laid a trap on the road, waiting for the snake to take the bait.

When he had nothing to do, Danzo would practice calligraphy and read newspapers. He saw the news of Tanhe's "sudden death" in the newspaper.

Danzo had no particular thoughts on this. The two radicals were indeed at odds. Tango was dead, but he had no intention of investigating the real culprit. What did it have to do with him? On the contrary, he thought Tango's death was a good thing, a quick and swift death. Why didn't that bastard die sooner?! He wondered who killed him, and it was truly gratifying!

Chapter 146 Great Harvest

While Danzo was reading the newspaper, Ino officially recruited the bandit Buggy as her subordinate. She also captured the traitor Touka during the chaos in the prison. At this moment, she threw him to the ground and let Buggy kill the villain with one slash.

Karin was carrying Ino's letter, which was a mission to deliver a message. Karin's strength was indeed lacking, but she was a genuine ninja and could go to Takigakure.

Buggy, being an ordinary civilian, is no match for him. If he doesn't take the secret passage and instead swims across the Takigakure Waterfall, he won't be able to get across without holding his breath for seven or eight minutes.

Ino sends Buggy to Takigakure to find Karin, and Karin will continue to be in charge of the work thereafter.

Meanwhile, she took Morino Ita, who was suspected to be a rogue ninja, back to Konoha Village. On the way, they encountered Shizune, a senior sister with long, white legs.

"You came all this way just to see me, Shizune-neechan? You're too kind. We're practically family." Ino was quite pleased. See, even our "commuter" program has a pick-up and drop-off service. Tsunade is quite kind after all.

But then Jingyin's words made her realize that she had been deluding herself.

"No, no, I came... to find him."

Shizune pointed at Morino Ita, meaning that this was the target.

"Are you taking him back to the village?" she asked Ino.

“Yes, I suspect this guy is a rogue ninja from Konoha. Since I’ve encountered him, I’ll naturally take him back.” Ino spoke with an air of unwavering loyalty to Konoha.

Shizune looked around, then pulled her aside and whispered, "The current leader of Date is Mr. Jirocho from the Land of Tea, and Jirocho and Lady Tsunade have always been on good terms..."

She rattled off a long explanation, hoping Ino wouldn't be so rigid. Anyway, the village didn't know; if you don't say anything and I don't say anything, wouldn't that smooth things over? Right?

She spoke very cryptically, and only briefly mentioned the relationship between Jirocho and Tsunade. Ino didn't even understand what their relationship was. Surely she wouldn't give herself a young master? It's like an old cow eating young grass. Jiraiya is really too pitiful.

Noticing the gossipy look in her eyes, Shizune waved her hands repeatedly, lowering her voice even further: "No, no! They're not like that. Mr. Jirocho is just an ordinary person. It's just that his club helped Lady Tsunade pay off her gambling debts a few times..."

In the end, Shizune looked troubled and extremely embarrassed.

Ino pretended to suddenly realize, "Oh, I see! So he's Tsunade's big spender!"

She has never understood many of the local NGOs. They do shady things, extortion, and all sorts of extortion, yet many powerful figures and governments of some small countries recognize these dynamic social organizations. Some prominent figures are even good friends with the leaders of these NGOs. In short, it is a very strange and abnormal phenomenon.

With Shizune intervening, Ino didn't insist on bringing Morino Date back to the village.

"My older brother... how is he now?" Morino Date avoided the ordeal of going back to the village to see her older brother, her intelligence returning, and she just wanted to ask about her brother's current situation.

Shizune and Tsunade have been away from the village for many years, and she doesn't know anything about Ibiki Morino's current situation. The two were classmates, and even if you include Kakashi, Asuma, Kurenai, and others, these people are all ninjas from that year or two. Shizune's ninja number is 010800, and Ibiki Morino's is 010913. The two are basically from the same year, or even if they weren't, they probably knew each other when they were young.

Upon hearing Morino Ita's question, Shizune couldn't help but look at Ino, wanting to know how her old classmate was doing.

"Morino Ibiki? That's pretty good, such a big rock." Ino gestured, indicating it was about the size of a millstone: "Your older brother used to practice his strength by holding this kind of rock all the time, and then he would use it to smash people. Within a hundred meters, he could hit them every time!"

Mute: "..."

Morino Date: "..."

This Morino Ibiki doesn't sound very bright; he's completely different from the tough, true man they've always imagined.

Ino chuckled, spouting nonsense: "He occasionally practices with big rocks to cultivate his mind; he's very busy with work."

Ibiki Morino was actually considered a strong special jonin, capable of fighting the Animal Path for several rounds. However, in Boruto, this tough guy has become completely useless, only capable of smashing people with a large rock, and has even forgotten his ninjutsu...

Tsunade is currently in the Land of Tea. Ino, Shizune, and Morino Ita are going to find Tsunade together.

On the way, she began to tally up her haul.

It has to be said, the King of Pots really has a lot of prestige.

By blaming Danzo, Ino gained five blame points, the most she's ever received.

With the two points she had saved up before, she now has seven pot points, more than she has ever been so wealthy.

First, take out three pots and add them to the "essence." Chakra is something that the more the better.

7 o'clock is a watershed moment. Before 7 o'clock, the stages of 4 to 5, 5 to 6, and 6 to 7 can be achieved with just one pot point, which is a level that ordinary people can reach with hard work. After 7 o'clock, it is the area of ​​talented people, or what can be called geniuses. It requires two, three, or four pot points to add up, and each improvement is huge.

With the three pots added, Ino's "essence" reached 9 points, just one step away from Chatonla.

She felt her body cells were full of vitality, and the chakra that suddenly filled her body made her feel like she was about to explode!

Ninjutsu talent is hard to quantify. When her ninjutsu level reached 10, she just felt that her understanding of ninjutsu was very profound. How profound exactly? She couldn't say.

The chakra is different.

More is more, and less is less.

Between 7 and 8 o'clock, investing two pot points is equivalent to doubling the original 7 points of chakra. Now, between 8 and 9 o'clock, investing three pot points feels like it's tripled the original 8 points.

There's just too much! The chakra is so abundant it's almost uncontrollable.

She originally planned to use the remaining 4 pot points to increase her chakra to 10, but now that 9 points are showing signs of getting out of control, she dares not add so many at once. She needs to spend some time adapting to the surge in chakra, and only add more points after she can control the chakra freely.

It's estimated that it will be difficult to adapt to the surge in chakra during this month leading up to the Chunin Exams. Wouldn't it be a waste to leave those 4 points unused?

After careful consideration, she combined the three points and added them to the Yin Escape level, upgrading the level 3 Yin Escape to level 4.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Third Hokage will still use the Reaper Death Seal. This time, Ino is not facing the remnants of the Second Mizukage's chakra, nor a summoning beast that has been sleeping for fifty years and is almost stupid, but a genuine god, a native god who has survived the brutal attacks of Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Level 3 Yin Release isn't enough; she needs level 4 to have the confidence to befriend the Grim Reaper.

Chapter 147 Tsunade's Ultimate Technique

Yin Release is different from Water Release and Wind Release.

Relying on the natural environment, Ino can practice her Water Release ninjutsu hundreds of times a day by finding a river. Through such mechanical and arduous practice, she can gradually improve her skill level. Yin Release is different; without complete rest, it is difficult to replenish the lost mental energy. Whether it is Mind Transfer Technique or Genjutsu, she can only practice it three times a day if she is trying her best. With such low practice efficiency, it is too difficult to level up by relying on arduous practice.

Yin Release and Yang Release are a level higher than the Five Elements Release techniques. These two techniques mainly depend on talent, then on chakra, and finally on hard work.

The Uchiha clan has a high level of Yin Release, while the Uzumaki and Senju clans have a high level of Yang Release. Do they train? Train my ass, they're all born with it!

The fact that Haiyi has practiced Yin Escape his whole life, yet his current level is still inferior to Ino's, is clear evidence of this.

But after reaching level 3, she really couldn't see any signs of breaking through the bottleneck. Since there was a limit, she might as well add more!

After adding Yin Escape to the three pot points, I thought about the remaining pot point and decided not to keep it, but to add it directly to "Body".

She could train her "body" herself, but she preferred practicing ninjutsu to kicking wooden stakes while sweating profusely.

The original "body" stat was 4 points, now it's increased to 5 points. It doesn't seem high, but in reality, Temari, Sasuke, and Hinata are currently at about the same level...

Ino has almost passed the stage of easily defeating weaker opponents. The enemies she encounters in the future will become stronger and stronger, so she needs to address her weaknesses.

Strengthen key attributes, maintain your strengths, and then distribute the remaining attribute points evenly.

Ino also planned to learn some taijutsu techniques from Tsunade. The Yamanaka family was not bad in taijutsu; they had accumulated some experience over the years. But after Ino looked through their materials, to be honest, none of them were very good!

In the Chunin Exams a month from now, she might be able to use taijutsu to beat Gaara. In any case, based on her observation, Gaara is clearly not good at taijutsu, even less so than she is.

What's the happiest thing for a noob? It's being matched with an opponent who's even worse than her!

井野现在的数值是忍10体5幻4贤7力3速6精9印6，总属性50。

In terms of escape techniques, he is proficient in Water Release (lv4), Yin Release (lv4), Earth Release (lv2), Wind Release (lv2), and Yang Release (lv1).

The increase in Yin Release level also greatly boosted Ino's spiritual energy. Although chakra is a combination of physical and spiritual energy, it is actually more inclined towards the physical side. If your physical body is weak, no matter how good your spirit is, you won't have much chakra. If your physical body is strong, even if your spirit is weak, you will have an astonishing amount of chakra. Chakra mainly relies on the body.

……

The transportation hubs were occupied by major powers long ago, and the land of tea is also located in the mountains, making it a truly small country.

Even with Shizune leading the way, Ino still had a lot of trouble finding Tsunade.

This woman is truly unpredictable, and finding her is extremely difficult.

"Huh?" Upon meeting, Tsunade first pinched Ino's cheek, then looked her up and down for a while: "Your Yin Release has improved significantly again? It seems you've far surpassed Inoichi and the others... Your chakra has also increased so much, that's really strange. You can't be a descendant of the Senju clan, can you?"

Tsunade felt that Ino's chakra had surpassed hers. She was a true descendant of the Senju clan, and it was quite puzzling that she had been surpassed by an outsider in terms of chakra. According to her guess, apart from Jinchuriki, Ino was now the female ninja with the most chakra.

After a quick check, no traces of prohibited drugs or techniques were found. In the end, it could only be concluded that Ino had entered puberty, her body was developing, and her mental energy was surging, which in turn improved her chakra and Yin Release level.

Because of their chakra, ninjas experience puberty differently than ordinary people.

The degree of improvement during puberty varies from person to person.

For example, Tsunade's grandfather, Hashirama Senju.

Hashirama Senju's mental level was never high, but his chakra kept increasing. Normal ninjas' chakra stops increasing at the age of 15 or 16, but Hashirama Senju was different. Until the day he died, his chakra continued to increase endlessly!
