Konoha: I have a gravity training room

The seven second-grade students were so angry that their faces turned red when they heard this.

Well, you guys are all trying to shift the blame, don't you think you're not wrong? Even if we were the ones who scolded the fox demon first, it was that fat guy who started it first!

Iruka looked at the seven second-year students with sharp eyes, and they immediately shrank their necks.

It is natural for children to be afraid of their teachers. What's more, the teachers have the power to report to the Hokage, so they dare not disobey.

Finally, the leader gave a weak explanation: "Iruka-sensei, we were actually upset because we lost to Hyuga Neji in the previous class. We happened to see the fox... ahem, this little yellow-haired guy passing by, and we got upset and cursed at him. Then this fat pig, ahem, this potato chip-eating classmate came out to try and stop the fight. We were so angry that we cursed him, but he actually started it. They really were the ones who started it!"

Iruka stared at the man for a long moment, making sure he was telling the truth and roughly understanding what he was saying.

He rubbed his eyebrows with a headache for a moment.

Student fights are actually a small matter and can be solved with some guidance and punishment, but Iruka wants to be a good teacher and wants to work hard to guide these children.

Especially when it comes to Naruto, it's not that simple.

He said seriously, "I will tell the Hokage about this matter, and he will decide how to deal with it. Before I report it, let me ask you, do you know you are wrong?"

The seven second graders nodded quickly: "Teacher, we know we were wrong!"

Xia Mu looked directly at Iruka and said in a serious tone, "Teacher, fighting in school is wrong, but I won't admit my mistakes. Shikamaru and Choji are my friends, and they will be my partners after graduation. I will never stand idly by and watch them being bullied."

Shino put his hands in his pockets: "Same."

Shikamaru scratched his head: "Tsk! Trouble! Iruka-sensei, regardless of whether it's right or wrong, go tell Hokage first."

Choji, Kiba Inuzuka and Naruto also looked unwilling to admit their mistakes, especially Choji. He thought it was natural for him to beat the other person who called him a fat pig, so he was not wrong.

Iruka had a headache even more, and finally had to punish these people to do a handstand, while he himself went to the Hokage Building.

In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen used the telescope technique to look at the scene on the school training ground through a large glass ball, and casually took out the student list from the drawer.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was naturally familiar with Shikamaru, Chouji, Kiba Inuzuka and Shino, after all, they were all from big families.

But this is the first time Xia Mu noticed it.

Looking through Xia Mu's information now, I didn't find anything unusual. He was just an ordinary orphan who had some talent in throwing ninja tools, and was average in other aspects.

However, Xia Mu was able to become friends with so many children from prominent families, and now he said this. Either he was deliberately trying to gain favor, or he was truly loyal. It was hard to judge, and I would have to ask Iruka. Of course, a mere six-year-old child was not worth any suspicion.

At this moment, Iruka arrived and quickly explained what had happened.

"Hokage-sama, this is the situation. How do you think we should handle this fight? If possible, I want to deal with it seriously and make them realize their mistakes."

"Well, Iruka, your intentions are good, but we can't just arbitrarily decide right or wrong."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said slowly and without any hurry, "Iruka, what do you think of these kids? For example, this one named Natsuki is quite loyal. When he becomes a ninja in the future, he will probably cherish his companions."

Iruka immediately recalled memories related to Natsuki. "Speaking of which, Natsuki is usually quite well-behaved and very attentive in class. He's also very proactive in studying after class, often going to the library to read. He's also very active in outdoor classes and is quite good at kunai and shuriken throwing. He suddenly got into a fight today and refused to admit his mistake, which really surprised me."

Sarutobi Hiruzen listened and nodded repeatedly. He didn't find anything strange about Natsuki, so he skipped it.

It's just a throwing technique, no matter how good it is, it's useless, Uchiha can surpass it just by opening his eyes, so he is not a genius worthy of attention. The fact that he can make friends with so many family members must be due to his personality.

He thought about it and felt that it would be better to punish him, otherwise it would be troublesome if other students followed suit.

So he decided, "Iruka, go back and punish them by making them run 10,000 meters and copy the Will of Fire ten times. Hand in the copied Will of Fire within five days, with your handwriting sloppily rewritten."

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

Iruka received the order and left in a hurry.

Not long after, the office door was slammed open, and a middle-aged man with a bandage on his right eye and his right arm in a sling rushed in and said angrily:

"Huruzen, you know what's going on, the Jinchuriki has gone crazy and started fighting! Listen to me now, hand him over to me for training, otherwise it will be troublesome when he loses control! Just hand him over to me, and I will definitely train him into an excellent war machine!"

"Danzo, that's a mess!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said sternly, "Naruto is not crazy, nor is he out of control!"

Shimura Danzo ignored him and continued, "Huruzen, why are you so stubborn? What Jinchūriki wouldn't be crazy? You can't control it at all. If the Nine-Tails erupts again one day, you will have an unshirkable responsibility!"

"Shut up Danzo, I'm the Hokage!"

"You! Hiruzen, you're going to regret this!"

Bang! Shimura Danzo slammed the door and left angrily.

Xia Mu didn't know about the big drama in the Hokage's office. He pretended to grit his teeth and stand on his head, but he was actually observing the seven second-year students.

These people said that they lost the battle to Hyuga Neji, and when they were angry, they happened to meet Naruto, so they took their anger out on Naruto. They didn't expect that Naruto was implicated by his brother-in-law.

But, Hyuga Neji?

I don’t know how strong he is now, and I don’t know if I can win.

Among the Twelve Guardians of Konoha, only Team Gai is from a higher class, and all three of them are the most miserable. Hyuga Neji is dead, Tenten has been single all the time, and Rock Lee's strength has probably stagnated because of the injury he suffered in the Chunin Exam.

In comparison, everyone in Naruto's generation is living a better life than the other. It's really hard to compare one person to another.

At this time, Naruto suddenly spoke: "Chouji, Shikamaru, Kiba, Natsuki, thank you for helping me."

Natsuki rolled his eyes, "I was helping Shikamaru and Chouji. And you forgot about Shino."

Naruto was stunned. Sure enough, he saw Shino muttering beside him. He was immediately embarrassed. It was not his fault. It was because Shino's presence was too low that he didn't notice it.

So he quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Shino, and thank you."

Shino muttered, "As expected, Naruto didn't notice me, even though I helped a lot."

Naruto didn't know how to respond for a moment, but he was still very happy. Although Natsuki and Shino seemed to be helping Shikamaru and Choji, they were also indirectly helping him, weren't they?

Chapter 14 Transformation: Paper Drawing

When Iruka returned, he announced the punishment given by the Hokage.

Running 10,000 meters is actually a piece of cake, but copying the Will of Fire ten times is too much.

Although the Will of Fire is relatively short, it has quite a few words. If you copy it ten times, your hands will be broken, and you will also be brainwashed. This old guy Sarutobi Hiruzen is really cruel.

Forget it, just accept the punishment obediently.

Xia Mu turned over and started running, and the others followed.

It was not until after school that the 10,000-meter run was finally completed. Everyone was exhausted and panting. Xia Mu had to pretend to be tired and forced himself to sweat.

There's no way. It would be strange if a six-year-old child ran 10,000 meters without sweating or panting.

At this time, Xia Mu saw a little guy with short hair and white eyes peeking in a corner, and he couldn't help being speechless.

Who else could it be other than Hinata, the peeping tom?

When I watched the anime before, I thought this little girl was too shy and timid. Now it makes me even more anxious. Not to mention getting closer to Naruto, she doesn't even dare to speak loudly.

Xia Mu looked at the silly Naruto, then at Hinata who was playing hide-and-seek, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

You guys! Can't I help you?

"Hey! Hinata! Come here!" Xia Mu waved to Hinata.

Hinata was startled and subconsciously shrank back, but popped her head out again after a while. Facing everyone's curious gazes, she blushed for a moment, but still walked over slowly.

The Hyuga family's tutor was there, and since Natsuki called her, she naturally had to come out.

Naruto looked confused: "Hinata, what are you doing hiding in the corner?"

Hinata crossed her fingers and said in a low voice: "Naruto-kun, everyone..."

Xia Mu said directly: "Hinata, Naruto's fists and feet are too bad. He was beaten badly and his injuries are not light. Do you have any medicine? Apply some to him."

"Is Naruto-kun seriously injured? I have some medicine here!"

Hinata suddenly became nervous and quickly took out the medicine, wanting to help Naruto with his injuries, but she was too shy to get close.

Naruto said dissatisfiedly: "Xia Mu, what are you talking about? Whose fists and feet are so bad? I, Naruto, am just giving them a break. Once I unleash my strength, I will definitely beat them to a pulp!"

Look, bragging again.

Inuzuka Kiba: Who are you looking for?

Everyone was speechless, but no one spoke. Instead, they looked at Hinata curiously.

The clever Shikamaru and Shino seemed to understand something. Seeing Natsuki watching the show leisurely, and then looking at Naruto's carefree look and Hinata's shy and blushing look, they suddenly had an idea.

That's it!

No wonder the little girl was peeking!

However, Naruto was completely unaware of this. Seeing Hinata blushing, he leaned over to touch her forehead, thinking that Hinata was sick. Unexpectedly, Hinata's face turned red in an instant and she fainted.

"Hinata? Hinata, what's wrong with you?" Naruto hugged Hinata and shouted, and Hinata fainted happily in his arms.

Xia Mu laughed out loud.

Xia Mu didn't think there was anything wrong with the CP of Naruto and Hinata, and he had no intention of eliminating Boruto from the source.

Hinata has been deeply in love with Naruto for a long time, and it is not anyone else's turn to interfere. We can only blame Xia Mu for awakening his past life memories too late and completely missing the opportunity to intervene.

Moreover, even if there was a chance, Xia Mu still didn't want to intervene.

Not to mention how good Hinata is, just the rules of the Hyuga family are enough to keep people away.

If I marry Hinata, will my future child be branded as a slave like a caged bird?

Just for this reason, Xia Mu refused. Instead of considering this possibility, it would be better not to do it from the beginning. There are other good girls in the ninja world, and it is not necessary to get married.

So, just quietly support your partner nearby, and occasionally help out to save yourself from worrying.

Hinata is under Naruto's care, and everyone has gone their separate ways. They still have to go back to copy the Will of Fire.

Xia Mu returned home quickly, had his meal and digested it, and at seven o'clock he immediately entered the special laboratory to start his research project.

Project 1: Can the transformation into thin paper be used as a paper drawing of the Navy Six Styles?

Project 2: Development of the art of clones for combat.

Project 3: Chakra form changes and chakra lines.

Project 4: Research on the changes in chakra properties and the integration of water-attribute chakra into the Rasengan.

There are quite a few projects arranged, but the first three will not take too much time. The most important one is the fourth one. Xia Mu has no confidence that he can complete the fusion of chakra form change and property change in one night.

It took Naruto a long time to create the Wind Style Rasenshuriken. Even though Xia Mu claimed that he was more talented than Naruto, it would be difficult for him to succeed now that he had no teacher to guide him and had to figure things out on his own.

The most crucial point is that he has never seen the change in the nature of chakra!

If he knew a water-style ninjutsu, even if it was only D-level, he would be able to observe the process of chakra turning into water. Now he was completely in the dark and could only study it with a try-it attitude.

If that doesn't work, I can only trade with Shino again. I believe it won't be difficult for Shino to get a D-level ninjutsu scroll.

"It's no use just thinking about it, let's just get started, starting with the first one."

Xia Mu thought of the shape of thin paper in his mind, and then quickly formed a seal. The next second, with a bang, it really turned into a piece of paper, but it was as thick as a book.

This is a sign of insufficient mastery of transformation techniques, and the inability to change as desired.

Moreover, Xia Mu is not just turning into a piece of paper. Figuratively speaking, he should be turning into a thin paper man, the kind that will sway in the breeze and will be pushed away by the wind instead of being broken by a fist.

That's what paper painting, one of the six styles in One Piece, is like.

The dodge of this move is very good and worth studying. After all, Xia Mu doesn’t have much to study now.

He kept trying, constantly changing while imagining, and finally after half an hour, he successfully transformed into a thin paper man. He also used his mind to create several puppets to attack him. No matter how heavy the puppets' attacks were, the paper man could easily avoid them, and even if he was hit, he would not be hurt.

"Phew! Transformation Technique: Paper Painting, Completed!"

Xia Mu returned to his original form, very satisfied with the success of his first research.

Before he could be happy, he was hit on the head by the puppet and grimaced in pain. It turned out that he had forgotten to cancel these puppets.

He quickly asked the puppet to roll away, rubbed his head and took a deep breath. Even though he was not injured, it hurt, but he did not dare to waste time and continued to work on the second project.

The art of clones is used in the development of combat.

This isn't difficult, but it's worth a try.

The clone technique uses chakra to create one or more phantoms without entity and attack power to disrupt the opponent. It sounds practical, but it has a big disadvantage.

Once the opponent identifies the clone, basically ignore it, the clone technique will be basically useless and waste chakra.

Therefore, the clone technique is only seen in the early stages of the original work, such as during the graduation exam, and also during the battle between Sakura and Ino during the Chunin exam. In short, it is a textbook move that is despised.

Chapter 15 Difficulties

However, as long as the usage is changed, it may be useful.
