Soon, spring turned to winter.

Another year has passed.

Heavy snow covered Konoha Village, and the streets were covered with many snow tracks.

While pushing forward with his experiments, Kiyoshi also continued his daily spiritual practice.

The feedback from the combined power of his two kaleidoscope eyes was much stronger than he had imagined.

Even now, Kiyoshi still possesses a power of vision that nourishes his physical body, causing it to continuously undergo transformation.

"Teacher Kiyoshi, I... got into the top ten again."

Hinata's voice was soft, but it couldn't hide her joy.

Her little face was rosy, with some baby fat still showing, and she looked at Qing Si with anticipation.

Kiyoshi reached out and ruffled Hinata's soft, light blue short hair, his gaze sweeping over the excellent grades on her report card.

Under his tutelage, Hinata's strength is vastly different from that in the original story.

"Very good, Hinata."

Kiyoshi praised him.

Hinata lowered her head slightly and whispered in response as her soft hair slid through her palm.

"It's all thanks to Teacher Kiyoshi's excellent teaching..."

Feeling the warm touch from above her head, Hinata's face turned even redder, and her earlobes seemed to blush crimson.

She squinted her eyes contentedly, like a kitten being stroked.

Hinata always felt that Kiyoshi's praise warmed her heart more than any compliment from the clan leader, Hiashi Hyuga.

In her eyes, Hinata's mansion was too quiet and too cold, while in Seiji's courtyard there was always wind, light, and a figure she could look up to.

So after receiving her report card, she went to find Kiyoshi immediately after school.

Kiyoshi is her teacher, as everyone in the Hyuga clan knows.

Therefore, she also enjoys the privilege of "being allowed to come home late".

"Theoretical knowledge is solid, but practical experience is equally important."

Kiyoshi put down the report card and his gaze fell on the snowless, empty space in the courtyard.

"Let me see if you've improved the Fire Release ninjutsu I taught you recently."

Perhaps because Kiyoshi had always focused on teaching Hinata physical skills and had never neglected her nutrition, the girl's body developed very well.

Although still young, she has already developed a good figure and is taller than her peers. Wearing well-fitting long clothes and trousers, she exudes a unique charm that is between childishness and naivety.

"Yes, Professor Kiyoshi."

Hinata nodded seriously upon hearing this. She took a deep breath, walked to the center of the courtyard, took off her heavy coat, revealing the fitted ninja uniform underneath that allowed for easy movement.

She steadily began to form hand seals: Si-Wei-Shen-Hai-Wu-Yin!

The movements were fluid, and the hand seal was completed in just a few seconds.

Unlike the traditional Hyuga clan, who only know Gentle Fist, Hinata now also knows ninjutsu.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

She gathered her chakra and exhaled it forward.

A blazing fireball roared out. Although it was not as large as the Uchiha clan ninja, the flames were solid and the temperature was quite high.

The fireball burned steadily, instantly evaporating the falling snowflakes and leaving a clear trail of heat in the air that lasted for several seconds before slowly dissipating.

After releasing her tension, Hinata breathed heavily, her chest rising and falling gently with her breath. She nervously turned to look at Seiji, awaiting his evaluation.

Kiyoshi looked at the condensed fireball, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.

Hinata's attributes lean towards Gentle Fist and Lightning Release ninjutsu; Fire Release is not her strongest area. The fact that she has trained to this level shows how much effort she has put in behind the scenes.

"very good."

Kiyoshi stepped forward and patted her shoulder reassuringly once again.

"Your chakra is gathered very steadily, and your form control is also excellent. As a reward, you can go to my library and choose a B-rank Fire Release ninjutsu or taijutsu manual to study."

"Really? Thank you, Kiyoshi-sensei!"

Hinata opened her eyes wide in surprise, her smile as warm as the sun after the snow melts.

"You have mastered the entry: [Ninja Teacher (Purple)]".

[Entry: Ninja Master (Purple)]

[Requirement fulfilled: Hinata learns a C-rank Fire Release ninjutsu.]

【Progress: (Completed).】

【Effect:

Your teaching ability has increased by 100%.

Your own Fire Release talent has been increased by 100% on top of its original value.

[You can simplify most of the hand seals when releasing ninjutsu]

【Note: You can continue to advance later. 】

"We previously created an entry for 'Teacher (purple),' but it seems there are many other categories now."

Kiyoshi secretly said.

From this perspective, teaching illusion magic, physical skills, and even other areas could also potentially earn one an entry.

Just then, footsteps sounded again outside the courtyard, accompanied by a gentle yet somewhat familiar female voice.

"Is Kiyoshi home? I brought some newly developed soldier ration pills and would like to ask you to check their effectiveness."

The woman was wearing a knee-length dress and black thermal pants, which made her legs look long and shapely.

It was the gentle and graceful Nohara Rin who walked in carrying a small basket.

When she saw Hinata in the courtyard, she paused for a moment, then gave a friendly smile:

"Ah, Hinata is here too."

When Hinata saw that there were outsiders, especially this senior from the medical class who seemed to have a good relationship with Kiyoshi-sensei, her confidence from when she was practicing Fire Release vanished instantly, and she reverted to being that easily shy little girl.

Her girlish shyness and restraint made her look more like a frightened fawn.

She greeted her softly, "Hello, Sister Lin."

Then, blushing, she ran quickly toward the library, ready to choose her "reward".

Nohara Rin watched Hinata's retreating figure, smiled, handed the basket to Kiyoshi, and said with her lips slightly parted:

"This child seems to be working especially hard in front of you."

"After all, I am Hinata-sensei."

Kiyoshi said.

Where's Mio?

"She went off to play."

"That's it."

Kiyoshi welcomed her into the house. As the door closed, the cold wind outside was shut out, and the warmth inside mingled with the faint scent of medicine.

He noticed that Nohara Rin was coming to see him more and more often, and the turning point was after that time in the office with Tsunade.

Nohara Rin familiarly arrived at the entrance of Kiyoshi's house and bent down.

The black thermal pants suddenly became as tight as black stockings, revealing the rounded curves underneath.

Only after Nohara Rin's fair and delicate soles touched the slippers prepared by Kiyoshi did she straighten up.

Have you been doing experiments lately?

Nohara Lin asked.

She noticed that Kiyoshi had been conducting experiments on "Hero's Water" in the lab lately.

"It wasn't too long, mostly because we used magic."

Qingsi said.

The puppet clones continued to help Kiyoshi deal with the miscellaneous tasks.

He just checks the results every now and then, which is why he seems so busy.

"By the way, how's your research on the White Zetsu's flesh and blood going?"

Qingsi asked.

He remembered that the White Zetsu in the original work was not a simple thing either.

The Book of Formations refers to them as "Children of Chakra".

Those humans, after a long period of having their life force and chakra extracted, and being influenced by the Divine Tree.

They gradually lost their original colors and the ability to reproduce like ordinary organisms.

However, they also gained all sorts of abilities.

For example, mass-produced ordinary White Zetsu can absorb chakra.

Among White Zetsu, there are different levels; some White Zetsu are more human-like, while others are deformed and misshapen.

And the mutated white Zetsu captured by Afei and Kiyoshi is the best of the best.

In the original story, Tobi alone, by possessing Yamato, was able to hold off the Allied Shinobi Forces for a very long time.

If mass production were implemented, and a few exceptionally strong fighters were removed, the 80,000-strong Ninja Alliance would be far from sufficient.

"This thing has a very complex composition. It doesn't feel like a normal living organism, but rather the product of some kind of experiment. It's somewhat like the white android you brought back before."

"Nohara Rin said."

"anything else."

Kiyoshi continued to ask questions, then placed his hand on Nohara Rin's leg and squeezed it, rubbing it between his palms. The black thermal pants had a silky texture, and the legs underneath were incredibly smooth.

Suddenly, Kiyoshi touched the top of the sock, roughly at the thigh.

These thermal pants are also a suspender style.

Kiyoshi loosened the strap of his suspenders, then let go.

A soft, crisp sound struck my thigh.

Nohara Rin's eyelashes trembled slightly, her eyes lowered, and she clenched her hands.

"And... there are some experimental results at Konoha Hospital, the reports are there."

Nohara Lin said.

I'll go take a look when I have some free time.

Qingsi said.

Nohara Rin is getting bolder and bolder.

wrong.

Qingsi shook his head.

It's every girl's right to want to look beautiful. This is normal dressing, so there's nothing wrong with it.

Could it be just a baseless rumor?

Kiyoshi tackled the question with a question in mind, and ultimately rejected the answer.

Hinata is still here.

Nohara Rin leaned against Kiyoshi's side, gently resting against him.

The two were so close that they could feel each other's breath.

The LCD screen in the living room flickered with light and shadow, playing the latest movie trailer for Land of Fire.
