Konoha: I have a gravity training room

Next comes treading water.

Tenten gathered chakra beneath her feet and carefully stepped onto the water, which immediately covered her ankles.

Xia Mu instructed, "The water flow is unstable, so it's different from climbing a tree. It requires a higher level of chakra control. You need to concentrate and try to keep your feet steady on the water. Then practice it over a long period of time to make it a habit."

"Well, I'll try my best."

He tried hard to keep his balance every day, but the next second he got distracted and fell into the water.

Fortunately, she was not a spoiled person. She stood up again without saying a word and continued to practice hard.

Xia Mu created a shadow clone and practiced physical skills with Shino, mainly to help Shino master the hand seals with one hand and the use of paper painting techniques in battle.

Of course, in order to ensure that he was not monitored or peeped at by anyone, Shino arranged insects around.

As for Xia Mu himself, he took out a piece of paper and placed it in his palm, and began to comprehend the changes in the water attribute of the chakra.

He had tried it before in the gravity training room, but the training room would change according to his thoughts. He could not achieve the purpose of enlightenment by making the paper wet whenever he wanted.

Therefore, one can only practice in the outside world.

Fortunately, I have my future girlfriend and good friends by my side, so I don’t feel bored or lonely.

It was soon noon, and Xia Mu specially sent his shadow clone home to prepare some nutritious food and brought it over. Although it would be fun to grill fish after training by the river, training is very tiring, and eating grilled fish alone is not enough.

I have been working hard every day without stopping, and now I am exhausted and sweating profusely.

Xia Mu felt distressed when he saw this, but he did not try to dissuade him.

If you want to become stronger every day, you have to endure all the hardships of training. If you can't even bear this little bit of hardship, forget about your dreams. Just be a quiet girl.

This is Tiantian's choice. Xia Mu not only cannot stop him, but should also encourage him.

"Xia Mu, this spicy and sour beef is awesome!" Tiantian showed off his fandom and gave a thumbs up.

The fatigue from practicing can cause poor appetite. Eating some spicy and sour food at this time can stimulate the taste buds. Beef can better supplement protein, so it will taste delicious every day.

Shino was so busy eating that he had no time to talk.

After the meal, everyone felt better.

Tiantian leaned against a tree trunk, staring at the swaying river surface in a trance. "Treading water is really hard, but I've gotten the hang of it. I should be able to master it in the next two days."

Shino immediately increased the difficulty: "Tenten, just being able to walk on water doesn't mean you've mastered it. The water here is calm, so treading water is easy. To fully master treading water, you have to run on turbulent water."

"Huh? Running in rough water?"

Tiantian was dumbfounded. It was difficult for her to just learn to tread water, let alone something so difficult.

Xia Mu hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid, I will practice with you."

Tiantian blushed slightly when she heard this, and gave Xia Mu a sweet smile. Perhaps she was really tired, as she leaned against the tree trunk and dozed off, with her head tilted and resting on Xia Mu's shoulder.

Xia Mu didn't expect there was such a benefit, and he felt very happy.

At this time, Shino made a gesture.

Xia Mu immediately turned his head and saw a cute little blonde girl walking towards him with a gossipy smile on her face.

It’s Ino!

Seeing that Ino was about to speak, Xia Mu immediately made a gesture to silence her.

When Ino looked, she found that the girl with two buns was sleeping on Xia Mu's shoulder. She immediately covered her mouth with her hands and smiled. She didn't say anything to disturb her, but she didn't leave either. Instead, she walked over and sat down.

"Xia Mu, is this your girlfriend? She's very cute."

Ino teased in a low voice, her eyes full of gossipful smiles.

Xia Mu glanced down at Tenten who was sleeping soundly and replied, "Not yet, but soon. Ino, you're quite the gossip. You just saw Tenten and I shopping together and you spread the news all over the class. You're really free-spirited."

Ino scratched her face with her index finger. "Don't be shy, don't be shy. What's there to be shy about? Besides, I saw you holding hands, your faces were still red. Now she's sleeping next to you, and you still say she's not your girlfriend? Her name is Tenten, right? This bun hairstyle really suits her."

Chapter 28 There is no possibility between you and Sasuke

Natsuki accepted all of Ino's compliments.

Anyway, Tiantian is very cute.

but...

"Ino, why are you here? Shouldn't you be helping out at the flower shop on your day off?" Xia Mu expressed confusion.

"Hehe, I came here just to see your girlfriend."

Ino looked very proud. "I knew you were coming here this morning, but I was too busy to come. I saw you with the lunch box and followed you. I'm very interested in your love story. Tell me how you won Tenten. I can use it as a reference when I pursue Sasuke in the future."

No wonder you are so active. Besides gossip, you also want to learn from others!

Xia Mu really has nothing to say about Ino, who is obsessed with looks.

Maybe she herself doesn't understand that what she likes is not Sasuke, but the handsome guy. Otherwise, why did Sakura suffer so much when Sasuke left, but she didn't react much?

Because she likes Sasuke's face, not his heart!

Many people who travel through time like to pursue Ino. In fact, Ino is indeed very beautiful, and she has a great figure when she grows up, but the key is that the time traveler must be very handsome, otherwise Ino will not be interested.

Anyway, Xia Mu is not handsome enough.

Xia Mu didn't want to say much, and he and Tiantian hadn't confirmed their relationship yet.

Fortunately, Shino came to the rescue in time: "Ino, although I shouldn't comment on other people's affairs, as a classmate, I still advise you..."

Ino was stunned: "Oh, Shino, you are here too."

These words are so hurtful!

Doesn't Shino know that she can't stand being ignored? This girl is really brave!

Shino couldn't help but mutter, but luckily Ino quickly apologized: "Sorry, sorry, I was just busy looking at Xia Mu's girlfriend, so I didn't notice you. Tell me, tell me, what do you want to persuade me?"

Fortunately, Shino didn't take it too seriously and continued, "Ino, you are the daughter of the Yamanaka clan leader. You will inherit the position of clan leader in the future, and your family will probably accept you as a son-in-law. Sasuke is the son of the Uchiha clan leader, and even if he is only the second son, he will not be allowed to marry into the family. Therefore, there is almost no possibility for you and Sasuke."

Ino was a little stunned and stunned.

She probably didn't think much about it because she was young, but now that she thinks about it, it seems to be true.

So, what about her previous obsession with Sasuke? And why did she fall out with her best friend Sakura? Doesn't that mean she's failed in both love and friendship?

For a moment, Ino seemed to have suffered a great shock, and her whole body was wilted.

Seeing this, Xia Mu couldn't help but persuade him: "Ino, as a classmate, I also advise you. In fact, I think that you may not like Sasuke. You like handsome guys. Your feelings for Sasuke are not as deep as you think. Think about it carefully, isn't it?"

Ino felt her mind was in a mess at this moment.

She was clearly here to gossip about Xia Mu's love story and to learn from him, so how did it turn out like this?

Shino said that it was impossible for her and Sasuke, but Natsuki said that she didn't actually like Sasuke. What was going on?

Xia Mu continued: "Think about it carefully. If one day you meet a super handsome guy who is much more handsome and better than Sasuke, will you give up Sasuke and fall in love with this handsome guy instead?"

Super, handsome guy?

Ino fantasized subconsciously and didn't even notice that her mouth was drooling.

It seems like that's the case, so she actually just likes handsome guys, not just Sasuke. Then why is she and Sakura arguing with each other?

However, Yamanaka Ino also has to save face. If she admits it just like that, wouldn't people think she is superficial?

So she bit the bullet and said, "Ahem! It's not like what you said. I'm still quite loyal. Even if I meet a guy who is more handsome than Sasuke, I will just take a few more glances..."

Her voice grew lower and lower, and she couldn't even convince herself.

Natsuki and Shino looked at each other, and it was obvious that the little girl was saying one thing and thinking another.

Unless she really meets a handsome guy, like in the original novel, after Sasuke ran away, Ino met Sai, who called Sakura ugly but praised Ino as a beauty. Sai was also really handsome, so it was natural for Ino to fall in love with someone else. What's more, there was no romance between her and Sasuke.

It’s no use trying to persuade this girl!

Xia Mu scolded with a smile: "If you have figured it out, go find Sakura and reconcile. You don't want to lose a precious friendship, do you?"

Ino was a little moved, but she still said stubbornly: "Humph! What do you care! Who wants to reconcile with that broad forehead?"

Okay! You decide for yourself!

At this time, Tiantian moaned and woke up in a daze.

Ino quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I was too loud and woke you up. Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

Tiantian shook his head: "It's okay, I've had enough sleep. You are..."

Ino gave a friendly smile. "I'm Yamanaka Ino, a classmate of Natsuki and Shino. I saw Natsuki bringing food here, so I followed him over to see Natsuki's girlfriend. Your name is Tenten, right?"

Tiantian was stunned and immediately realized that he was mistaken for Xia Mu's girlfriend. Moreover, he seemed to be sleeping on Xia Mu's shoulder just now and was being stared at by this girl. He was very embarrassed for a moment.

Fortunately, Tenten has a cheerful and generous personality, and won't faint from embarrassment like Hinata.

However, she didn't explain, as if she accepted her role as a girlfriend.

"Hello, Yamanaka-san, my name is Tiantian."

"Just call me Ino!"

Ino was actually happy to make friends, "Last time I saw you and Natsuki buying groceries hand in hand, and I was curious where Natsuki found such a cute girlfriend."

Tenten blushed, but she remembered Ino: "You are the daughter of the Yamanaka flower shop owner, right? I think I saw you when I bought flowers."

"Yes, yes, my family owns the Yamanaka Flower Shop. It turns out we've met before..."

"My family runs a ninja tool shop..."

The two girls actually started chatting. Both of them are extroverted, one likes gossip and the other is good at complaining, and they had a lively conversation for a while.

And then, we became friends.

Natsuki and Shino were just surprised and thought that girls were really magical creatures.

"Oh! So Tenten, you are practicing? And you have already started learning to tread water?" Ino was surprised.

"Yeah. I didn't know how to do it originally. It was Natsuki who taught me, and Shino also gave me a lot of help, so now I have to work hard." Tiantian looked determined.

"But you're still so young. Girls like us should learn more about dressing up at this age. Look at your hands, they're so rough."

"It's okay, Ino. My dream is to become a strong woman like Tsunade-sama, and to be famous in the ninja world in the future. Now that I have a dream, I should work hard for it. Besides, Natsuki and Shino have helped me so much, I can't let them down. Natsuki is very powerful, and I want to stand by his side in the future, so I can't be weak!"

"..."

Ino looked at Tenten who was so serious and was speechless for a moment.

Chapter 29 Ino's Determination and Conflict

Although Ino introduced herself as wanting to be a heartthrob, she's not actually that.

Basically every little girl in Konoha Village targets Tsunade, and she is no exception.

However, many of the girls she knew were just talking big, saying they wanted to be the second Tsunade, but few of them worked hard to practice, including her.

Now, for the first time, I meet a girl who works hard for her dream like Tiantian, and she looks like a clown.

Yes, since you have a dream, you should work hard for it.

Moreover, she could see that Tenten really liked Natsuki. Unlike her obsession with Sasuke's handsome face, Tenten wanted to become stronger and be qualified to stand by Natsuki's side.

This may be the true love!

"Tiantian, I really envy you." Ino couldn't help but say.

"Well, actually, I envy you too. You have a good background and powerful family ninjutsu. And children from your ninja family must have better talents than me. So I am envious, but I will work hard to catch up. I will prove that I am not weak either!"

Ino was stunned for a long time by Tiantian's confident look.

Ino was still in a daze until she left, and she was still in a daze all the way home.

Tiantian looked at Ino's distraught look and couldn't help but worry: "Natsuki Shino, is Ino okay? Why is she so dazed all of a sudden?"

Shino saw through it and said, "She must have become like this because of what you said to her every day."

Tiantian was puzzled: "What I said? I didn't seem to say anything bad?"

Shino looked up at the sky. "You said you envied Ino's background, family heritage, and talent, and that you would work hard to catch up. But what you don't know, Shino, is that Ino is just like any other girl. She has everything she needs, but she just doesn't work hard. She was frightened by your determined efforts, and her daze was just a reflection on herself."

Is that right?

Tiantian actually doesn’t understand. Since you have such good conditions, why don’t you work hard and waste your time instead?
