Alone and Infinite

My friend number 4 is getting married (the playboy comes ashore).

On the 5th

then

Wife No. 7's cousin got married

What is the meaning of marriage?

In the past, if I didn't want to go to these things, I wouldn't go; my parents could go.

After marriage, you are a separate family unit. People will start calling you directly, and your name will be on the wedding invitation.

I don't want to go, but I have to bite the bullet and go.

Well, that brings us to the end of the map of the Yan Kingdom.

Ask for leave!

Chapter 275 The Wind Rises

Just as the Bronze Star team was discussing how to pin the blame on Konoha...

The other apostles who chose the Hidden Mist also embarked on this path without prior agreement.

Based on the apostles' almost unanimous mentality—if you can eat meat, don't drink soup.

They began using various methods to try and pinpoint the perpetrators of the village massacre to Konoha.

Soon, all sorts of 'evidence' were laid out in front of Elder Yuan Shi, the de facto ruler of Kirigakure.

The old man looked out the window at the misty sky and fell into deep confusion.

He thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. What reason could Konoha have to massacre a village that sold fish?

Could it be that it's affecting the fishermen of Konoha? But surely that doesn't warrant massacring the entire village?

It was so thorough. Master Yuan had read the report; even earthworms were gone. It was truly barren.

The most crucial question is: Does Konoha have fishermen?

After pondering for a while, Master Yuan picked up the two reports again.

Compared to other reports, these two reports are quite interesting. They were submitted by the Chunin Squad and the Special Jonin Squad, and are therefore more credible.

"There seems to be unusual activity in the three ninja villages of Iwasago, Kumo, and Iwasago, and their gathering direction is Konoha?"

Having experienced two Shinobi World Wars, Master Genji instinctively sensed the impending storm.

A meaningful smile appeared on his wrinkled face:

"Interesting. Mei Terumi!"

A female ninja with emerald green eyes, long, wavy reddish-brown hair, and pink lips emerged from the shadows.

The light inside the room first shone on her body, and then illuminated her pretty face.

Two glimpses of white skin, peeking out from the blue strapless dress, seemed to gleam under the lights, accompanied by trembling steps.

"Master Yuanshi."

"Go investigate the other three villages and see if there are any unusual movements as reported in the intelligence."

If there is.

A cold glint flashed in Yuan Shi's cloudy eyes as he grinned, revealing his toothless, withered mouth.

"Then the murderer could also be included."

No, it must be Konoha!

"Yo, Kakashi!"

Li Xia raised his hand and greeted Kakashi, who was leaning against the wall.

Then he pulled a small booklet from his pocket and said in a low voice:

"I heard you have a collector's edition of the 'Intimate Paradise'?"

Kakashi's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he clutched his pocket.

He received this book, "Intimate Paradise," as a birthday gift when he turned 18.

It was also his favorite, a treasure that he absolutely could not show to anyone else.

"no!"

"Don't be so stingy."

Li Xia glanced at the genin below who were preparing for battle, but there was nothing worth noting.

Then, in a mysterious tone, he said to Kakashi:

“I have a behind-the-scenes version here, with many drafts that the teachers rejected at the time. I’ll exchange this with you to look at them.”

Behind-the-scenes footage? A discarded draft?

Kakashi couldn't help but lean closer and whispered:

"Really?"

"Why would I lie to you? An exchange?"

Kakashi thought about it, and just like in the side story, he ultimately succumbed to the temptation of Icha Icha Paradise.

"Change it! But only here. After the exam, we'll change it back!"

To be fair, Jiraiya wasn't very good at writing serious novels.

But he's really good at writing borderline stories; I wonder how many sources he's gathered.

In short, it is beautiful without being vulgar, evoking romantic thoughts and inspiring contemplation.

"What are you looking at?"

A rough voice rang in their ears, and Li Xia and Kakashi looked up at the same time.

They noticed that Kai, sporting a watermelon-shaped haircut, had somehow appeared and approached them.

His two thick, almost excessively thick eyebrows twitched up and down, and his expression was full of curiosity.

Kai is Neji's tutor, and because of Neji, they have met quite a few times and are fairly familiar with each other.

"It's nothing, it's just a territory you've never entered before."

Li Xia looked down on the naive boy in front of her with righteous indignation, while Kakashi next to her almost burst out laughing.

And she secretly remembered this, deciding to use it when arguing with Kai in the future.

"I'm done reading."

After scanning the entire book directly with the Scott Combat Power Tester, Li Xia returned the book to Kakashi.

They then turned their attention to the battle below. The previous squabbling between weaklings was really boring, except that Naruto's loud fart that sprayed teeth in his face was quite effective.

The list on the big screen scrolled rapidly before stopping.

Neji Hyuga VS Hinata Hyuga

Kurenai and Kai's expressions turned serious.

Many people in Konoha are not very familiar with the Hyuga's so-called main family and branch family.

But the two teachers in charge of the class were aware of it.

Especially Kai, who watched Neji coldly wrap himself up all day long.

What could he do? He could only hope to melt him with his youth and passion.

"Hinata, how about..."

Kurenai pursed her lips, her pretty face showing worry.

Unexpectedly, Hinata clenched her fist and first glanced at Naruto Uzumaki, who was loudly cheering her on.

Then he glanced at Li Xia next to Kakashi.

"No problem, teacher!"

Surprisingly, their battle wasn't as 'fiery and brutal' as Kurenai and Guy had imagined.

Neither of them even rolled their eyes, and each adopted a posture they had never seen before.

Yes, that's the starting stance of Baguazhang.

These two little ones have been practicing together frequently for over twenty days, and have sparred countless times.

Moreover, Neji gradually realized that the person he should hate was definitely not a specific individual.

For example, Hinata should hate the "caged bird" system.

To resist this system requires constant effort. If one becomes the Hokage, who would dare to implant such a control technique into the Hokage's mind?

Therefore, after realizing this, Neji had gradually begun to change.

No longer clinging to the so-called fate, they began to fight against it.

"strangeness."

Kai stroked his chin. The two looked more like they were sparring than competing, but he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.

After Hinata decisively admitted defeat, Guy quickly stopped thinking about it.

Because next up would be his beloved disciple Rock Lee facing off against Gaara.

Li Xia also shifted his gaze downwards, preparing to watch live this battle, which could be considered one of the top five most exciting battles in the entire Naruto series.

"Li You! I approve!"

Kai gave Xiao Li a thumbs up, his big white teeth gleaming under the light.

A smile gradually spread across Xiao Li's face as he sat on the head of the statue, removing the weight inscribed with 'roots' from his feet.

"It's just some extra weight; even if we take it off—"

Temari and Kankuro gave each other a dismissive smile.

"boom!"

Smoke and dust billowed high into the air, and everyone stared in disbelief at what looked like two hand grenades had been thrown.

"Kai, how much weight do these two carry?"

Ah Kai waved at Xiao Li again and shouted, "Burn, youth!"

He then smiled contentedly and said, "One foot weighs about 100 pounds."

One hundred pounds?

Li Xia clicked her tongue. This weight was definitely not low for 12-year-old Li.

That's the advantage of the extraordinary world; energy is just so useful.

Unfortunately, carrying heavy loads is of little use to me.

Weight training is primarily a method for developing muscle strength and endurance.

The apostle's body is already at the peak of current gene expression.

Just like a normal human body has five attributes, 10 is the limit for humans.

People with five points can train to improve their attributes, but apostles with twenty or thirty points in their attributes cannot.

This is because they have already reached their limit, and can only break through the upper limit by gradually optimizing their genes through adding points.

That's why every time you add points, it feels painful; when you make an extreme breakthrough, it's like having your marrow replaced.

Adding weight can also cause the body to relax abruptly, making it difficult to get used to immediately.

This is similar to how the gravity in the derivative world changes, and the Hall of Light gives the apostles time to adapt to the gravity within the space.

"By the way, Kai, if any unfavorable factors arise later, remember to stop the exam immediately."

Um? What's the meaning?

Kai thought for a moment, his eyebrows twitching:
