Konoha: I have a gravity training room

Chapter 7 Chakra Paper

Fortunately, Iruka was a good teacher and could tell that Natsuki wasn't lying.

So he warned: "You are still young, so you should practice in moderation. Don't stay up late to practice. Now you should listen to the class carefully and don't sleep anymore."

"Okay, teacher. Thank you."

Xia Mu hurriedly thanked him, then rubbed his face and finally became much more sober.

Next, he listened to the class carefully and took notes seriously. Iruka saw this and let him go with relief.

After class, Xia Mu started yawning again.

Shino asked curiously, "Did you really practice until very late last night?"

Xia Mu yawned and nodded: "Yeah, I was so excited that I didn't stop. By the time I stopped, it was almost dawn."

Shino became even more curious after hearing this, but out of politeness he did not ask. Although he did not know Xia Mu's background, he knew that it must be some family secret technique that allowed Xia Mu to practice without sleep all night. It would be against the rules to ask more questions.

Xia Mu was stunned at this time, and suddenly looked at Shino, as if he thought of something.

He smiled and said, "Shino, do you have much pocket money?"

Shino was puzzled, but he said, "It's not a lot. If you need money, I can lend it to you."

Xia Mu shook his head: "I won't lend it to you because I don't have the money to pay it back. But come to my house with me after school this afternoon. I'll show you something that you'll definitely be willing to buy. Of course, it's okay if you don't buy it. I mainly want to treat you to a meal. You're my first friend."

"it is good."

Shino agreed readily.

Although he was curious about what Xia Mu said, since Xia Mu was unwilling to talk about it here, he didn't ask.

Moreover, Xia Mu said that he was his first friend and invited him to his home for dinner, which made him very happy, and the rest was not worth caring about.

Soon, the morning classes ended.

Xia Mu first went to the window of the Hokage Building to collect this month's orphan subsidy. He happened to see Naruto also collecting money, so he nodded to the little yellow-haired boy as a gesture of friendship to his classmate.

Unexpectedly, when Naruto saw this, he smiled widely and nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice.

He was disliked so much by others that it was rare for someone to show kindness to him. It was like a godsend to him, and he was naturally very happy.

But for Xia Mu, although Naruto is stupid, impulsive, boastful, noisy and disruptive, he is also a poor little guy. It is indeed not appropriate to make friends with Naruto now, but it is okay to be friendly.

The subsidy was 1,800 taels, just enough for a bowl of Ichiraku ramen every day.

It really can keep the orphans from starving to death.

Xia Mu withdrew the money and went straight to Ichiraku Ramen Restaurant. He wanted to try how delicious Ichiraku Ramen was.

After Naruto withdrew the money, he found that Natsuki was gone, but he was in a good mood, so he decided to treat himself to some Ichiraku Ramen for lunch.

Unexpectedly, I saw Xia Mu again at Ichiraku Ramen Restaurant.

"Uncle Ichiraku, give me a bowl of ramen!"

Naruto sat down next to Xia Mu and asked cautiously, "Hey, what's your name? Just now in the Hokage Building, you nodded to me, right?"

Xia Mu just took a bite of the 60-tael ramen and felt that it tasted pretty good. Even though it was not as exaggerated as Naruto boasted, and it was not really to the taste of flower growers, it should be the best in Konoha Village. Otherwise, why would so many ninjas come here to eat? They couldn't all be attracted by Ayame, right?

Oh, Otsutsuki Ichiraku’s daughter Ayame is really pretty.

Hearing Naruto's question, Xia Mu nodded: "My name is Xia Mu, just now it was a friendly nod between classmates."

Naruto grinned, "My name is Uzumaki Naruto, and I'm the man who will become Hokage in the future! Natsuki, do you like Ichiraku Ramen too? Ichiraku Ramen is definitely the most delicious food!"

That's because you are ignorant and poor. The barbecue at Yakiniku Q is much more delicious than ramen!

But Xia Mu didn't dare to say it, because Uncle Ichiraku was right in front of him. If he dared to say that Ichiraku Ramen was not delicious, he would definitely be kicked out.

And Xia Mu actually regretted nodding and greeting Naruto. He didn't expect that just a small gesture would make Naruto come straight up to him, and it was just as noisy as expected.

Fall down, fall down, there is no way out!

I can’t even eat noodles properly!

"Yes, yes, Ichiraku Ramen is the best." Xia Mu said perfunctorily.

Uncle Ichiraku was just serving Naruto some noodles. He smiled with his squinting eyes when he heard this. I wonder if his squinting eyes were the Rinnegan.

Naruto finally stopped making noise and concentrated on eating noodles, panting as if he had been hungry for three days and three nights. If nothing unexpected happened, Naruto was indeed hungry, and one bowl was definitely not enough to fill him up.

Xia Mu didn't act out of kindness and offer to treat Naruto or anything like that. His relationship with Naruto wasn't that good yet.

He himself is a poor orphan.

"I'll leave after I finish eating."

Xia Mu finished all the noodles, turned around and left Ichiraku Ramen Restaurant.

Naruto glanced back at Xia Mu's back, and suddenly felt unhappy. He asked sullenly, "Uncle Ichiraku, Sister Ayame, does Xia Mu hate me too?"

This little yellow-haired boy was actually quite sensitive. After all, Xia Mu had taken the initiative to greet him just now, thinking they could become friends. But now Xia Mu didn't wait for him after finishing his noodles, but hurried away. Perhaps he was also concerned about his fox demon identity?

Chang Pu said gently, "How could that be? If he really hated you, how could he have the patience to talk to you? He looks listless, so he must be in a hurry to go back to sleep."

"Oh, yeah, I remember Xia Mu fell asleep in class this morning. He said he practiced until very late last night. He must have gone to catch up on his sleep. I hope he doesn't hate me for falling."

Naruto comforted himself and his appetite returned, and he continued to eat with a slurp.

Xia Mu had no idea what Naruto was thinking, so he walked all the way back to school and even bought a piece of chakra paper from the Mandiantang Ninja Tool Shop on the way.

I mastered the Rasengan yesterday, and now I need to integrate my own chakra attributes into it, so I need to know what the attributes of my chakra are first.

Take the newly bought chakra paper and input your own chakra.

The next second, part of the chakra paper became wet, part of it shattered, and part of it wrinkled.

"Water and earth mines? What happens if water attributes are integrated into the Rasengan? Can earth and thunder attributes be integrated into the Rasengan?"

Xia Mu was a little distressed, but it was clear that he couldn't come up with any results just by imagining things; he needed to conduct experiments. Furthermore, this experiment was quite dangerous, so he had to wait until the first of next month.

In the original work, it was very dangerous for Naruto to master the Rasenshuriken, and he would hurt himself when using it in the early stages.

Xia Mu didn't want to take any risks. Even if he had Senzu Beans, he couldn't waste them. One hundred Senzu Beans sounded like a lot, but they had to be used at critical moments.

"Oh, by the way, I need to prepare a few more research projects, otherwise it might end up like last night."

Xia Mu thought about it as he returned to the classroom and fell asleep.

Chapter 8 Shino is a Guest

The first outdoor class is in the afternoon.

Iruka asked everyone to run 3,000 meters first, intending to test the little guys' strength.

Naruto was so competitive that he ran as fast as he could, trying to leave Sasuke behind. However, Sasuke, following his older brother's example, was determined to be the best in the class and naturally refused to fall behind.

Especially to Naruto, Sasuke really doesn't want to lose.

Xia Mu ran slowly among the crowd, pretending to be tired, but in fact he was watching the show leisurely.

By the time they finished the 3,000-meter run, he hadn't sweated much at all, while Naruto lay exhausted on the ground like a dead dog, and his ranking wasn't very good either.

You see, even with the Whirlpool Constitution and Nine-Tailed Fox Charging, it’s useless because you’re too lacking in nutrition.

This body is incredibly weak.

The first place was naturally Sasuke. This cute and handsome guy glanced at Naruto with a smug look on his face, then stood aside coolly, accepting the girls' screams and flattery.

Naruto was so angry that he jumped up: "What the hell is this arrogant Sasuke!"

Natsuki saw the girls split into several camps: one led by Yamanaka Ino, one led by Haruno Sakura, and the rest were scattered groups. Although all of these camps were Sasuke fans, they didn't see eye to eye with each other and were likely to fight at any moment.

Ino and Sakura had such a good relationship before, but now their friendship is broken into pieces.

They would curse at each other from time to time, it was really a big show.

The key point is that Naruto has turned into a dog and approached Sakura, saying all kinds of nice things to please her, but Sakura's eyes are full of Sasuke, and she just thinks Naruto is annoying.

Oh, and a certain cute little girl was constantly rolling her eyes at Naruto, but unfortunately Naruto didn't notice.

"These girls are so troublesome!" Shikamaru said unhappily.

Shikamaru was munching on potato chips, oblivious to his surroundings.

Xia Mu and Shino looked at each other and shrugged again. It was none of their business anyway, so there was no need to interfere. If they felt it was noisy, they could just cover their ears.

Next is the Kunai throwing tutorial.

Students from ninja families have naturally learned this long ago, and their hit rates are quite high.

Especially Sasuke, throwing skills are the Uchiha clan's signature skill. He basically hits the bull's eye every time, which makes the girls scream again.

Seeing this, Naruto started yelling again, determined to be stronger than Sasuke, but none of his kunai hit Sasuke, and one of them even almost castrated Iruka, causing Iruka to scold him angrily.

Xia Mu didn't care about others. He followed Iruka's instructions, combined with his own throwing experience from the scroll, and practiced again and again. At first, he could only barely hit the target, but then his hit rate improved. He even hit the bull's eye several times. His improvement was very significant, and he even received direct praise from Iruka.

It's no use for others to envy you. They don't study hard in class and have to argue with each other, wasting precious practice time. Who can they blame?

After school, Xia Mu took Shino to the street to buy some fresh meat and ingredients, and then took Shino home.

"This is my home. It's in a remote location."

Xia Mu pushed open the gate and introduced, "My parents have passed away, and I live alone now. I grow some vegetables myself. I'll go cook first, Shino, you can help pick some vegetables."

It's really rude to order the guests around, but it also shows that he doesn't treat Shino as an outsider.

"These vegetables are growing beautifully," Shino praised, silently taking the basket and picking some vegetables. He became chatty for once, "We Aburame people also grow our own vegetables because we raise insects. Natsuki, your vegetables are much better than mine. Can I give you some leaves to feed the insects?"

"casual."

Xia Mu agreed without hesitation. The rice was already in the pot, the fresh meat was marinated, and he also cut a piece of bacon, so that he had his hands free.

Shino also picked the vegetables and took a piece of tender leaf to feed the insects. Although the two did not speak, the scene was surprisingly harmonious. Even though Shino was wearing sunglasses, Natsuki could see that Shino was very happy.

Maybe it’s because it’s a rare opportunity to make friends, and it’s my first time visiting a friend’s home.

Xia Mu was also straightforward and got straight to the point: "Shino, I was actually studying one-handed seals last night, which is why I didn't sleep all night. And, I succeeded."

"Seal with one hand?!"

Shino was surprised, and the look behind his sunglasses was as if he was meeting Natsuki for the first time.

You know, forming hand seals with one hand is not that simple. Even many jonin can't do it, or have never even seen it. For example, when Hatake Kakashi saw Shiro forming hand seals with one hand during his mission in Wave Country, he was so surprised that he said it was his first time seeing it and he looked like a brat who had never seen the world.

Anyone who can form seals with one hand is naturally a genius.

Especially since Xia Mu is only six years old, he is definitely a genius among geniuses!

Xia Mu stretched out his left hand in front of Shino, made a few seals, and then with a bang, he turned into Shino's appearance. It was a transformation technique that required making seals with one hand.

Shino couldn't help but believe it and praised: "Xia Mu, you are really amazing."

Xia Mu smiled and said, "I invited you to my house not only to treat you but also to teach you how to form a single-handed seal. Of course, it's not free. I've noticed my appetite has grown, and the family savings plus the orphan allowance aren't enough. I'll be starving soon. So, I've got my eye on you, my friend. Do you want to learn?"

"I want to learn. What's the tuition fee?"

Shino agreed without hesitation.

He was actually happy to lend money to Xia Mu, because Xia Mu was his first friend. It didn't matter even if Xia Mu didn't pay it back, because he knew that Xia Mu's life was not good and he was really worried about Xia Mu.

It was probably Xia Mu's self-esteem that was at work. He was unwilling to lend his friend money and was even more afraid that he would not be able to pay it back, so he chose this way to ask for money.

How could he not support her as a friend?

Besides, learning to make seals with one hand would be of great benefit to him. He was so happy that he naturally would not refuse. This could be said to be a win-win situation.

Xia Mu was troubled when he heard this: "How about you just give me some money to tide me over for two months? I don't know how much to charge."

Shino didn't know the market either, so he said, "I'll go home tonight and ask my dad. He'll definitely know what's a reasonable price. Anyway, we'll try to avoid getting any loss."

"That's fine. But Shino, you and your father have to keep this a secret. I don't really want anyone else to know about this."

"Don't worry, I understand your concerns."

Shino really understood.

He knew clearly that Konoha Village was not as glamorous as it seemed, especially after his friend Aburame Tone went to Danzo's so-called Anbu in his place, he knew that there was darkness in Konoha Village too.

Konoha's talents are being targeted by some shady people!

Even though he was the child of the Aburame clan's chief, he was unable to resist. If Qu Gen had not taken the initiative to stand up, he, the clan chief's son, would have been taken away.
