Konoha: I have a gravity training room

Chapter 3 Cultivation

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Xia Mu made seals seriously.

"Clone Technique!" Bang! Success!

"Transformation!" Bang! Success!

"Substitution Technique!" Bang! Success!

Xia Mu was a little stunned, because it was really the first time for him to perform the Three Body Technique, and he didn't expect to succeed in one try.

It seems that the improvement of the Thousand Hands bloodline not only increased his chakra amount, but also improved his cultivation talent. Who else is there?

However, Xia Mu was not proud.

It's just the Three Body Techniques, which genius can't learn it in no time?

Uchiha Weasel mastered the Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu the first time he learned it. Compared to that, my talent is nothing.

"I've learned the Three Body Techniques. Logically, I've met the graduation requirements, but I still have to go to Ninja School."

Ninja schools not only teach chakra extraction techniques and three-body techniques, but also other knowledge.

For example, the history and geography of the ninja world, the historical development of Konoha Village, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, etc. In addition, there are the most important professional courses, including clue tracking, clue analysis, hiding skills, trap setting, rope-escaping skills, etc., which are all very useful basic knowledge. If you don't master these basics well, it's best not to be a ninja.

Oh, Naruto is an idiot, so he's an exception.

After all, Naruto is the protagonist and the Jinchūriki, so it is natural that he cannot die.

Try changing someone else, a passerby who can't even see through ordinary traps. He will definitely die right after graduation. Even Tsunade's brother can be killed by the trap, let alone others.

Xia Mu does not think highly of himself, and he still values ​​the knowledge he learned in the ninja school.

Even if you have learned all the knowledge in school, you can still go to the library and there is plenty of knowledge to learn. Anyway, it is impossible to graduate early.

Another most important point is that Konoha Village is very dangerous, especially during this period, before the Uchiha clan was exterminated. This was the time when Danzo and the Root were most rampant.

Don't think that Danzo was too busy dealing with the Uchiha to pay attention to other people. That would be a big mistake.

The Root's Wood Release experiments have never stopped, and Danzo has a great demand for experimental subjects. If he knew that a genius with a very pure Senju bloodline appeared in the village, he would definitely take action, and even the Third Hokage would not be able to protect him.

So, if you don’t want to die, just stay alive and don’t waste time!

Just pretending to be mediocre, who can't do that?

As long as we wait until we are about to graduate, the Root will have lost its function due to the Uchiha clan extermination and will be disbanded by the Third Hokage, and Danzo will not dare to act recklessly. Only then will we be relatively safe.

Xia Mu shook his head, temporarily getting rid of all the mess, and began to concentrate on practicing the Three Body Technique.

Learning is one thing, becoming proficient is another, which is important in combat.

As long as you are proficient enough, you can even use the Three Body Technique without even forming any hand seals. This way you can often catch your opponent off guard in battle, so it's always a good idea to practice more.

"It's impossible not to form hand seals for the time being, but we can try to study one-handed hand seals. As it happens, the first of the month is in two days, and the special laboratory will be open soon. I will make one-handed hand seals my first research project. Although time is a bit tight, it's worth a try. The first thing to achieve is fine chakra control."

After all, the purpose of making hand seals is to mobilize chakra and make chakra flow and change along a predetermined route, so as to achieve the purpose of releasing ninjutsu.

Therefore, the more subtle and precise the control of chakra is, the less chakra is consumed in the spell, and the hand seals can be simplified.

Even like Hashirama Senju, he could just clap his hands and whatever he shouted would come true.

As for how to train chakra control, isn't this an open-book exam? What else can it be besides climbing trees and wading in water?

As soon as Xia Mu thought about it, a towering tree hundreds of meters high appeared in front of him. The environment of this laboratory would change according to his wishes, so it was very easy to create a tree.

"Alas, it's a pity that I can't conjure up a living creature, otherwise I would have ten Kamisato Ayaka first!"

He complained and began to gather chakra at his feet before running towards the tree.

Sure enough, not long after, he fell down.

The amount of chakra is too huge and it is really difficult to control. It is like a glass of water that you can handle at will, but it is difficult to control a truckload of water.

Fortunately, Xia Mu's talent seemed to have really improved. After several attempts, he was able to walk freely on the tree with his hands in his pockets. It felt so wonderful.

He moved his mind and conjured up a forest, then ran around in the forest like a nimble mountain dog.

"It seems that I am really talented. I am much better than Erzhuzi. I learned to climb trees easily. Next, it's time to tread water."

Xia Mu created a vast ocean with his mind and then jumped onto the surface.

At first, I would accidentally step into the water and get my shoes wet, but I soon mastered the trick and could run freely and even roll around on the water.

He felt it was not exciting enough, so he used his mind to make the water surface turbulent, increasing the difficulty of treading water.

I don’t know how long this training lasted. I didn’t leave the gravity training room until I was starving. I reluctantly left and went home to cook.

"I've been practicing for eight hours, and apart from feeling hungry, I don't feel tired at all. Furthermore, even after eight hours of non-stop chakra consumption, I still have some left. The Thousand Hands bloodline is truly powerful. However, a new problem has arisen. My appetite has tripled, and I'm afraid ten thousand taels won't cover my expenses for a month!"

Xia Mu's eyelids twitched as he looked at the table full of food that he had finished by himself.

He really wanted to put the problem of making money behind him, but the reality did not allow him to do so, otherwise he would starve!

It was getting late, so Xia Mu hurried to the yard to put away the bacon and dried sweet potatoes. Looking at the shiny bacon, he thought that there seemed to be no bacon in the island country's food culture, so he guessed that there should be no bacon in the Naruto world either.

"Perhaps, we can sell the formula, but the question is who to sell it to? Besides, there's no guarantee that anyone will want it. Even if we sell it, it's a one-time deal and won't have much impact."

Xia Mu felt a little discouraged after thinking about it. After packing up, he returned to the gravity training room again.

At present, I will focus on the research project of single-handed seal making. Ten thousand taels can only last for a few days, and I will think about making money later.

Two days passed quickly.

In the past two days, apart from buying vegetables and meat, Xia Mu basically stayed at home, or in the gravity training room. After two days, his hand seal speed had become very fast, four seals per second at full speed. It was not as fast as Uchiha Itachi's six seals per second, but it was enough.

The purpose of practicing hand seals is to familiarize yourself with the changes in chakra in the body when making hand seals. The purpose is to master the changes, not for hand speed.

Wait until the night of the first day, and then try to make seals with one hand to achieve the same chakra changes. I think I will be able to use the Three Body Technique, and then I will have learned the seals with one hand.

Xia Mu didn't dare to experiment at this time. Chakra is like internal force. If you use it recklessly, you will hurt yourself.

It is best and safest to wait until a special laboratory is established before conducting experiments.

Chapter 4 Making Friends

This day is the first day of the Ninja School.

After breakfast, Xia Mu walked towards the Ninja School alone. On the way, he met many children accompanied by their parents, whose chattering was a bit annoying.

Of course, there are also some orphans who are alone.

Xia Mu didn't care much. After arriving at school, he directly found his class on the bulletin board and took a look at the names of his classmates.

"Oh wow, Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, Hyuga Hinata, Nara Shikamaru, Akimichi Chouji, Yamanaka Ino, Haruno Sakura, Inuzuka Kiba, Aburame Shino, are they really going to be in the same class as this year's Xiaoqiang? That's good, it's a good opportunity to make some friends. After all, these people will basically be the top leaders of Konoha Village in the future, so it's important to build good relationships in advance.

However, you should be cautious when making friends in the early stages. Some people are worth making friends with, but others should be ignored for the time being. Otherwise, you will get yourself into trouble."

For example, Uchiha Sasuke.

The relationship between the Uchiha and the village is very tense now. Sasuke's good brother is a psychopath. If you have too good a relationship with Sasuke, you might be affected.

For example, Uzumaki Naruto.

This guy is a Jinchūriki, so you can't approach him rashly, or you'll easily be targeted by the Sandaime and Danzo. Furthermore, he's a fool and a loudmouth. Being friends with someone like him will only make you stupider, and you'll also be annoyed.

As for the others, Haruno Sakura and Yamanaka Ino are flower maniacs, Hyuga Hinata is too shy, and Inuzuka Kiba's dog can urinate, so they all gave up first.

The only ones worth making friends with are Shikamaru Nara, Chouji Akimichi and Shino Aburame.

Among them, the most reliable one has to be Aburame Shino.

In the original work, Aburame Shino has always been strong and intelligent. Whether it is reconnaissance, defense, attack, or protection, she can basically do it. She also attaches great importance to the friendship of her companions and is someone who can be trusted.

Who wouldn’t want to make friends with such a reliable person?

So, Natsuki quietly found a secluded spot, scanned the entire place, and began looking for Aburame Shino.

However, it was probably because Shino's presence was too low, and Natsuki couldn't find her after searching for a long time. Instead, all the students had arrived and were gathered together by several teachers.

Then, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen appeared from a high place, causing a commotion.

"Hehe, hello kids, I'm the Sandaime Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, and I'm very happy to meet you all here today. You are the young shoots of Konoha Village, the future of the village...blah blah blah..."

The Sandaime spoke with saliva flying, his eyes shining, and it was obvious that he believed what he said.

The freshmen below also looked excited.

Xia Mu was speechless, but he had to pretend to be excited. After all, all the children in Konoha Village admired the Hokage and the will of fire. If they behaved differently from others, they would be considered different.

Regardless of whether the Will of Fire is correct or not, it is the political correctness of Konoha Village and everyone must obey it.

Otherwise, just wait to be called in for tea by the Anbu!

Xia Mu's face was frozen with excitement, but the Sandaime kept talking, making it difficult for him to maintain his excited expression, and he even wanted to yawn on the spot.

Damn, to sum it up, isn't it just "where the leaves dance, the fire lives on", is there any need for such a long speech?

Fortunately, the Hokage was quite busy, so I finally finished the story.

Xia Mu breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his stiff cheeks quietly, and began to follow the group of freshmen to find his class. When he arrived in the classroom, he immediately took a look and finally saw Aburame Shino.

Logically speaking, the Aburame clan's attire of big hoods and black sunglasses should be very eye-catching, but each of them has a very low presence, and sometimes it is difficult to notice them even when people are standing next to them. This is very strange. It is probably related to the family-inherited insect technique, but there is no need to explore the reason.

Anyway, Shino is very bothered by this, so just keep an eye on his presence.

Xia Mu walked over and said with a smile, "Hello, is anyone sitting here? Can I sit here?"

Let's get straight to the point, no beating around the bush. When making friends, you need to be sincere and not use so many tricks. Even if he has a purpose, as long as he is sincere, Shino will not dislike him.

Aburame Shino was stunned. She couldn't see his eyes clearly under his sunglasses, but he nodded quickly: "There's no one here, you can sit."

"Okay, then we'll be desk mates."

Xia Mu sat down decisively, took out a paper bag of dried sweet potatoes from his pocket and handed it over, "My name is Xia Mu, this is the dried sweet potatoes I made myself, if you don't mind, let's have some together."

The easiest way to make friends: share food!

And you don't need anything luxurious. On the contrary, things you make yourself are more sincere and can most impress people like Shino.

Aburame Shino took a look at the dried sweet potatoes, and saw Natsuki taking one and eating it, so he also reached out and took one and put it in his mouth. The slight sweetness made his expression relax a little.

"My name is Aburame Shino, please guide me."

See, isn’t this what it means to be friends?

Xia Mu was in a good mood. After showing off one dried sweet potato, he took another one. Suddenly, he felt someone was watching him. He turned around and saw a fat face, which scared him.

This is a fat man with a Naruto-style blush on each of his chubby cheeks, and a pair of small eyes staring at the dried sweet potatoes.

Who else could it be other than this foodie, Choji Akimichi?

Behind Choji, pineapple-headed Shikamaru held his hands behind his head, looking helpless at Choji.

Xia Mu was very happy. It seemed that he had made the right decision to bring dried sweet potatoes this morning. He actually attracted these two. Isn't this a good opportunity to make friends?

He handed over the dried sweet potatoes: "Do you want some too?"

"Eat! I want to eat!"

Shikamaru didn't hesitate and took one and put it in his mouth, a look of satisfaction immediately appearing on his face.

Dried sweet potatoes are not that delicious, but for foodies, being able to eat something that tastes good is the greatest happiness. Besides, since Shikamaru eats potato chips all day, he is happy to change the taste suddenly.

Seeing this, Shikamaru also took one: "Then I won't hesitate."

Xia Mu took the opportunity to introduce himself: "My name is Xia Mu, and this is my deskmate and my new friend Shino. Oh, you ate my dried sweet potatoes, so we are friends now."

Shino nodded and greeted, "My name is Aburame Shino, please guide me."

"Nara Shikamaru."

"Akimichi Chouji."

The two of them also said their names. There was no need to say much, as this was enough to make them know each other.

After Xia Mu distributed the dried sweet potatoes again, there was only one left in the paper bag. Suddenly, a chubby hand grabbed it quickly, and the target was naturally the last dried sweet potato.

Xia Mu immediately reached out and grabbed the fat hand, laughing and said, "Chouji, you can't snatch it!"

Choji narrowed his eyes and said, "I must eat the last portion of snacks. This is my ninja way!"

Shikamaru rolled his eyes and said, "Hey, Choji, when we were eating barbecue yesterday, you said you couldn't refuse food that was placed in front of you. That's your ninja way. Your ninja way is improving very quickly."
