Alone and Infinite

If we make good use of this mechanism to accumulate small difficulties or deliberately make the situation more difficult, will we gain additional benefits?

Li Xia was unsure, but he kept the matter in mind, thinking that he might as well give it a try if the right situation came up!

"Okay, let's take a break."

The May sun was already scorching, its intense rays piercing through the sparse branches like sharp arrows striking the shadows, leaving irregular patches of light.

Li Xia sat in the chair, and even though the temperature was hot, there wasn't a single drop of sweat on his cheeks.

With his current physique and the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, being impervious to water and fire, and unaffected by heat and cold, is no longer a difficult task for him.

Hearing Li Xia's voice, Neji and Hinata breathed a sigh of relief, but still obediently finished their entire set of punches before stopping and slowly walking over.

"Not bad!"

Li Xia nodded with admiration in his eyes.

At least in terms of perseverance, these two children have done a good job.

After the two of them wiped away their sweat and calmed their feverish bodies, Li Xia reached out his hand.

"Eat."

Hinata looked at the popsicle Li Xia handed her with surprise, thanked him softly, and then happily put the cold ice cream in her mouth.

"Thank you, sir!"

At this moment, Neji, the "Prince of Duan," still maintained his persona. Even though he really wanted to eat it in big bites, he still took it properly and ate it in small bites with a straight face.

"brush"

Li Xia opened a folding fan and shook it—just that one action.

The image of that lazy, wealthy family scion becomes even more vivid.

He takes character development seriously.

There were several black claw marks on the paper fan.

I don't know why the fans in Naruto are all plain, without anything on them.

Aowu volunteered to make several claw marks with his claws, which he called "Azure Dragon Probing Claws".

"Your stance is already quite standard; the rest is just a matter of perseverance."

Then you will see a different world.

Neji hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice:

"Sir, how long did it take you to achieve what you did last night? Was it really ten years?"

Li Xia nodded.

ten years

Neji's eyes dimmed. Ten years. How long it had been.

The entire Hokage Village has only been established for a little over sixty years, and in those sixty years, Konoha has produced a total of more than 12,000 ninjas.

How many are still alive today? Not even one in a hundred.

A ninja could die on any mission, and if war broke out, he would die even faster.

Not many people can live peacefully for more than ten years.

Looking at Neji's expression, Li Xia knew exactly what he was thinking.

"Ten years is my level, but to see results, it can take a year if you're fast, or two or three years if you're slow."

This skill has no end; only through focus can one go further.

Li Xia closed his folding fan and said calmly:

"I have accepted the position in the secret service arranged by the family, and I will be reporting for duty in a couple of days. Then I won't have time to keep an eye on you like this."

I have taught you what I needed to teach; the secret lies in what you practice.

Hinata put down her ice cream, feeling a little reluctant. Li Xia was a rare teacher who didn't look down on her for being clumsy.

Just like my teacher, Kurenai Yuhi.

Neji felt the same way; he sensed a rare sense of peace in Li Xia.

That kind of peace is hard to explain in words, and he makes no difference between the branch family and the main family.

They seemed completely unconcerned about this vast difference in status.

With mixed feelings, the two children lowered their heads and said earnestly:

"is teacher!"

As dusk settled over the silhouette of Fire Shadow Rock, lanterns along the stone path lit up one by one.

Li Xia strolled leisurely down the street, each world offering its own unique experience.

For him, being able to experience different landscapes in an infinite world is one of the most wonderful things in the world.

The streets were full of pedestrians. Konoha's streets were straight and orderly.

Neji and Hinata walked slowly beside him, introducing him to things along the way:

"Teacher, this is the commercial street, the liveliest place in Konoha!"

Upon hearing that Li Xia was going to report to the Dark Division, the two insisted on inviting him to dinner, and both of them were from unusual backgrounds.

I heard a little bit of information from Hiashi Hyuga.

I know Li Xia has never been to Konoha.

Li Xia stopped at the mask stall and casually picked up a cat-face mask.

After weighing it in my hand, I realized it fit my face perfectly.

Just as he was about to ask the price, Neji had already very sensibly taken out his money and paid.

Li Xia patted his head. This child lost both his mother and father at a young age, and his maturity was heartbreaking.

They also tend to be aloof, wrapping themselves in a cold, impersonal shell.

Naruto Uzumaki only promised to abolish the 'Caged Bird' technique, and Neji gave his life for him.

Therefore, as long as it doesn't involve her own actions, Li Xia doesn't mind letting Neji feel a little more warmth.

After turning a corner, a faint aroma of pork bone wafted in the warm yellow light.

Li Xia stopped in her tracks and looked at the small shop with great interest.

Ichiraku Ramen?

"This is the one!"

Neji frowned slightly as he looked at the not-so-large ramen shop. His idea was to take his teacher to the shop that Guy often went to. The food was good, and there was a good variety of dishes. At least it was a proper eatery.

Ramen always feels a bit unorthodox.

Hinata, on the other hand, looked at Ichiraku Ramen and her face turned slightly red, as if she had thought of something.

"Let's go!"

Li Xia led the way into the small restaurant with blue curtains fluttering in the breeze.

The moment the curtain was lifted, the sizzling sound of hand-beaten noodles being poured into the pot, mixed with the shouts of the shop owner, Uncle Yile, wafted over: "Please come in, sir! The char siu pork is freshly braised today!"

"Isn't this Neji and Hinata? It's been so long!"

Changpu dragged a lacquered tray out of the kitchen and said with delight, her gaze sweeping over Li Xia, but she seemed somewhat surprised.

A complete stranger.

"Tonkotsu ramen, large portion!"

"Uncle, tonkotsu ramen!"

A vibrant sound approached from afar, and the curtain was suddenly flung open.

A figure with blond hair, wearing an orange jacket and carrying a backpack rushed in.

He rubbed his nose horizontally with his index finger, closed his eyes, and took a deep, blissful breath of the ramen aroma from the shop.

"Ichiraku Ramen is so good, I can never get enough of it!"

"Naruto? You're back?"

Not only iris, but even Ichiraku put down what he was doing, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

Naruto opened his eyes and was about to speak when he suddenly saw Hinata and Neji, who were almost burying their heads in his arms.

After a moment of stunned silence, he suddenly scratched his head and exclaimed, "Ah, you are...you are Hinata Hyuga?"

Li Xia watched with interest as Hinata twisted her fingers and stammered a greeting in a voice barely louder than a mosquito's buzz:

"Naruto-kun"

Under Neji's astonished gaze, Li Xia suddenly extended a finger and gently touched a spot on Hinata's spine.

Hinata felt as if she had been electrocuted, and her whole body involuntarily straightened up.

Even the sound grew louder:

"Hello there!"

Neji was startled. How did he do that? Could this be the power he developed from the movements his teacher taught him?

He was getting more and more excited, and couldn't wait to get back to the training ground to train.

Hinata's cheeks were now as red as dyed cloth, and even her neck was flushed.

I felt dizzy and almost fainted.

Naruto was startled by her suddenly louder voice. He paused for a moment, then scratched his head and burst into laughter.

"really interesting!"

As expected of Naruto Uzumaki. With a thought, a faint blue light flashed in Li Xia's right eye.
