Konoha: I have a gravity training room

She probably didn't realize that a certain man was holding her shoulders and treating her as prey.

Afterwards, Xia Mu gave Tiantian more detailed suggestions, such as strengthening physical exercise to increase physical strength and chakra volume, such as strengthening the control of chakra, and trying to use chakra to climb trees and step on water, etc. In short, there are many basics that Tiantian cannot achieve now, but they are also what a Genin needs to have.

Allowing them to have daily contact and exercise now will only benefit them in the future.

The final result was that the three of them agreed to practice together on their days off, and the location was at Tiantian's house. Although the training ground here was small, it was enough for the three children to practice.

As for spending money to post tasks to collect powerful ninja tools, Xia Mu suggested to postpone it. Tiantian is too young and too weak to collect now. However, he can first entrust the collection of information on various ninja tools, as well as information on various summoned beasts. They will be useful when he becomes a ninja in the future.

Tiantian was very convinced of Xia Mu and naturally obeyed him.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xia Mu and Shino didn't want to stay any longer and chose to say goodbye.

There was reluctance written on Tiantian's face. Perhaps it was because it was a rare opportunity to have friends to play with and who gave her so much help, so she really wanted to stay with them for a while longer.

She ignored her father's sour face and sent the two of them out the door.

Looking at Xia Mu's handsome face and thinking about what happened in the past two days when I met Xia Mu, I couldn't help blushing for a moment.

"Then I'll be leaving. After you've tried illusions and medical ninjutsu, remember to tell me and Shino. We'll both give you advice." Xia Mu smiled and waved his hand.

"Well, pay attention to safety on the road."

Tenten also waved to Natsuki, but when he looked at Shino, he thought of something and made a secret gesture.

Shino was stunned and returned a gesture without being noticed by Natsumu. Then he followed Natsumu away. After he and Natsumu separated at the intersection, he turned back.

Tiantian is still waiting at the door.

"Tiantian, what are you hiding from Natsuki?" Shino asked puzzled.

"this..."

Tiantian blushed and said awkwardly, "Shino, maybe I'm being too sentimental. Let me ask you, does Xia Mu like me?"

Shino was surprised: "You actually figured it out?"

Tiantian pouted: "I'm not stupid, it's strange that I can't see it. Xia Mu came to my store yesterday, seemingly to sell ninja tool designs, but as soon as he entered the store, he went straight to me, asked my name, and praised me for being cute. It was even more obvious today. We have only known each other for two days, but he was so proactive in helping me. His eyes were almost glued to me, and sometimes he even touched me..."

At this point, Tiantian's face turned even redder.

Children in the ninja world are all precocious. Uchiha Itachi went to the battlefield to kill people at the age of four, and girls wanted to marry handsome boys at the age of five.

Tenten is no exception. She didn't originally think she was cute or pretty, but just thought she was ordinary. She had a dream of becoming Tsunade, but she had no talent. She could be said to be as ordinary as could be. She never thought that any outstanding boy would like someone like her.

But today, she could feel Xia Mu's eyes on her.

Moreover, Xia Mu was very capable, as if he knew a lot of things. He was very eloquent when making suggestions, and all of them were very practical, making her feel as if the clouds had cleared and she could see the sun, and see the way forward.

How could she not be happy that a boy like this liked her?

Seeing Tenten like this, Shino knew that Natsuki had made up his mind, so he said bluntly, "Although Natsuki should have told you, since you've discovered it, I won't hide it. Natsuki really likes you, and he designed those two ninja tools specifically to get to know you."

Tiantian covered her face and her head almost smoked like Hinata.

But Tenten is not Hinata after all. She is much more generous and brave.

Just like she said in the animation, she hates weak people. So she herself is not weak, but strong and brave at heart, and will work hard for her inner pursuit.

This is something that the other three village beauties can't compare to!

Shino asked, "So Tenten, what do you think of Natsuki and how will you respond to him?"

Tiantian's face flushed but he said solemnly: "Shino, I understand what you mean, and I don't want to disappoint Xia Mu's love. I plan to spend some time with him. After all, he and I are still young and have not known each other for long. But don't worry, I won't hurt him, and I will sincerely respond to his sincerity!"

Shino was satisfied and almost shed tears of brotherhood.

It's not easy for him to be a matchmaker, and his previous efforts have not been in vain. Xia Mu and Tiantian now owe him a big favor.

"Thank you, Shino. I can see that you have been helping Natsuki." Tiantian thanked him again.

"You're welcome. Xia Mu and I are good friends, and now I'm also good friends with you. It's only natural for friends to help each other. I should congratulate you and Xia Mu."

Shino said this, put his hands in his pockets and turned around gracefully, completely disappearing into the darkening night.

Chapter 24 New Ninja Tools

Half a month later, Tiantian sat by a small river with a depressed look on his face.

Shino was standing not far away and winked at Xia Mu who had just arrived, but he was wearing sunglasses and it was impossible to tell what he meant.

Xia Mu nodded dazedly, then quickly walked over to sit next to Tiantian and asked softly, "Tiantian, what's wrong?"

Tiantian's voice was filled with grievance. "I've tried illusions and medical ninjutsu, but I don't seem to have the talent. I asked my teacher half a month ago, and he taught me a D-level illusion, but I still haven't mastered it. I took the teacher's letter of introduction to the hospital to learn medical ninjutsu. The test was to save a fish, but the fish ended up being sashimi..."

Ah this...

Although I had expected this, I don’t know how to comfort her now that I hear it.

Xia Mu turned around to look at Shino, but saw that the brother was standing in the distance with a calm expression, as if he was keeping watch for the future couple.

But this attitude means that Xia Mu can handle it himself.

Xia Mu was helpless and organized his words to comfort him, "Tiantian, although you have no talent in these areas, it's a good thing that you discovered it earlier. You don't need to waste time on these things in the future. Just focus on ninja tools and space-time ninjutsu. Compared to other children of the same age who are still confused, you are ahead."

Seeing Xia Mu worrying about her every day, she felt warm in her heart and quickly adjusted her mood.

Then he smiled at Xia Mu and said, "It's okay, Xia Mu. I'm just a little depressed. I used to think I at least had some talent. But now it's not bad either. Just like you said, at least I've determined the direction I'm going. I don't need to be confused anymore."

Xia Mu stared at Tiantian's eyes seriously, which made the girl shy.

However, he realized that Tiantian was not forcing himself to smile, but had adjusted his mood and would not be disturbed by the feeling of loss. Only then did he feel relieved.

Of course, he also knows how to change the subject.

"By the way, I have recently figured out two new ninja tools. Come and take a look." Xia Mu took out the documents.

"Oh! Do you have a new idea?"

Tiantian took the document curiously and looked through it. Shino also came over at this time. It was obvious that they were both very interested in the new ninja tools designed by Natsuki, just like the two special shurikens before were very good.

After reading it, both of them looked at Xia Mu in surprise.

He was obviously frightened by Xia Mu's strange idea.

Xia Mu felt his nose had grown longer. He held his head high and said proudly, "Hey, isn't my design interesting? The steel wire gloves have a steel wire mechanism installed on the back of the hand. During combat, you can use chakra to activate the mechanism at any time, and the steel wire will shoot out. Just imagine, if you were to clash with the enemy with a kunai, and the back of your hand suddenly shot out steel wire, it would be equivalent to a sneak attack. Most people would have no way to dodge it!"

There's also this gun-lance ninja tool, which is different from those matchlock and flintlock rifles. Because it's activated by chakra and the bullet is small and light, its firing rate is more than twice that of a thrown shuriken, and its range is also very long. Furthermore, it's easy to master with practice, and accuracy is not a problem.

Most notably, the idea of ​​painting a space-time ninjutsu symbol on the magazine allows for the ability to summon bullets at any time, eliminating the need to worry about running out of ammunition. You can even prepare special bullets like smoke bombs, poison bombs, flash grenades, or even bullets with detonating talismans. If you prepare them ahead of time, you can summon them whenever you need them.

Hey, look at it every day..."

Xia Mu talked freely, but as he was talking, he found that Tiantian and Shino were looking at him with strange eyes, and he was stuck for a moment.

I couldn't help but feel uneasy. His design should be pretty good, so why didn't these two say anything?

After a long while, Zhino finally said, "Xia Mu, I really want to pry open your head and see how it looks."

Tiantian also said with a smile: "Yeah, yeah, how could someone be so clever? The designs of these two ninja tools are amazing!"

"You guys really, stop scaring me!"

Xia Mu breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the two were amazed by his intelligence. He thought there was something wrong with the design of his ninja tools.

Tiantian stared at Xia Mu, his big eyes blinking with emotion.

In her opinion, Xia Mu designed the new ninja tools specifically for her.

The gun lance ninja tool, in particular, takes into account her limited physical strength and chakra. Compared to throwing shurikens, using a gun lance is obviously easier, and its shooting range is much longer than throwing shurikens, which can greatly enhance her strength. More importantly, the idea of ​​drawing the space-time ninjutsu symbol in the magazine position is completely based on her talent.

This guy is really something, why does he like her so much!

She is very distressed!

Tiantian felt sweet in her heart, and decisively put the design draft away. She subconsciously pulled Xia Mu's sleeve and said with a smile: "So, how much do you want to sell it for?"

Xia Mu scratched his hair: "Well, you are a professional, how about you give it as you see fit? It's okay if you don't give it."

"That won't work!"

Tiantian pouted, "I have to give you money. I heard from Shino that you are now receiving orphan subsidies and you were worried about having no money a while ago. Besides, you are in the growth stage now, so food expenses cannot be reduced. How about this, these two ninja tools are much better than the previous ones. I will give you a total of 100,000 ryo. If you think it is not enough, you can add more."

"Enough is enough! And it's too much!"

Xia Mu was shocked by this prodigal girl. If he were her father, he would probably faint from anger.

These two ninja tools are good, but they are not worth that much money. Forty thousand was too much last time, and she gave even more this time. If you don’t know, you might think she is supporting a man.

Shino on the side nodded repeatedly and couldn't help burping softly, as if he had eaten too much dog food.

However, he was happy for Xia Mu. Not only had Xia Mu's love life made progress, but Xia Mu's poor life had also improved. He finally didn't have to worry so much.

It seems that Xia Mu has a good eye.

Compared to Sakura's love-brainedness and lack of education, compared to Hinata's shyness and weakness, compared to Ino's narcissism and obsession with looks, Tenten's personality is really good.

In addition, Tiantian is a small wealthy woman, which is also a plus. Just like Xia Mu himself said, it is not shameful to be with a rich woman. The key is that this rich woman is beautiful, cute and considerate. Who wouldn’t like her?

Seeing that Tiantian had completely gotten rid of his loss, Xia Mu felt completely relieved.

So he took advantage of the situation and said, "I've made money today. You guys can come to my house for dinner. It's a good opportunity for Tiantian to taste my cooking skills."

It is said that men who can cook are very handsome, and Xia Mu wants to show this advantage in front of Tiantian.

Shino agreed decisively: "Okay! Then I'll go home and get some vegetables."

With that, he disappeared without a trace, leaving Xia Mu no time to call out to him.

Chapter 25 Bring Tiantian Home

Tiantian was very curious about this: "What's wrong with Shino? He looks very anxious."

Xia Mu smiled and said, "He's envious of my cooking skills and is eager to go home and choose the vegetables he likes. Oh, and the Aburame clan is also good at growing vegetables because they raise insects. Shino is the son of the clan leader, and the vegetables at his home grow very well."

Shino is the clan leader's son?

Tenten was even more surprised, as she hadn't expected Natsuki to be friends with the Aburame clan leader's child.

This connection doesn't seem like that of an ordinary person!

Xia Mu saw the girl was in a daze and pulled her forward: "Okay, stop being in a daze, let's go to the market to buy some vegetables, especially some winter melon. Shino likes winter melon the most."

Tiantian looked at her little hand being held, felt the warmth of Xia Mu's palm, and subconsciously held it back.

A smile appeared on the corner of my mouth unconsciously, and I didn't even notice it.

The two of them walked hand in hand in the street market, but because they had to buy a lot of vegetables, they had to let go. The moment they let go, they both felt a little reluctant, and couldn't help blushing when they looked at each other subconsciously.

When the uncles and aunts who were buying vegetables nearby saw this, they all smiled like aunties.

Ah, this young love!

Xia Mu seemed to be immersed in it and didn't notice at all that Yamanaka Ino, who was helping to deliver flowers to the store, was watching him from behind, her eyes full of gossip.

"That's Xia Mu, right? This guy actually has a girlfriend?"

Although Xia Mu is not very handsome and his performance in class is not very outstanding, his classmates are impressed by him because of his previous battle with Sasuke.

Ino is a face-obsessed person and likes Sasuke. Naturally, she is also very curious about Natsuki who beat up Sasuke.

Now that I see Xia Mu holding hands with a cute girl, it would be strange if I wasn’t gossiping.

"This is great news! I have to share this with my friends!"

So, without Xia Mu knowing, the news that he had a girlfriend spread among the girls in the class.

On this side, Xia Mu and Tian Tian were carrying the vegetables they had just bought home. As soon as they arrived, they saw Shino waiting at the gate of the yard with two baskets of fresh vegetables. Even though she was wearing sunglasses, her expectant look was very obvious.

Xia Mu was speechless: "Shino, you are setting up a stall in my house again."

Shino said matter-of-factly, "There are too many vegetables at home to eat, so my dad asked me to bring some more."

"Yes, yes, thank your father for me."

Xia Mu opened the courtyard door, led the two inside, and began to give orders rudely, "Tiantian, you help wash the vegetables, Shino go dig the winter melon, and today I'll make you winter melon and pork rib soup. After you're done, help kill the chicken. I'm going to cook first."

When Shino heard about winter melon and pork ribs soup, although he had never eaten it before, he knew it must be delicious, so he took action immediately.

Tiantian fetched water to wash vegetables while looking around the yard curiously.

"Is this Xia Mu's home? Aside from the quietness of the neighborhood, it's actually quite nice. The courtyard in particular is full of life. I wonder if Xia Mu will be lonely living alone."

Tenten didn't realize that she was actively trying to understand Xia Mu's life.
