Chapter 79 Mute: The taste of this Devil Fruit is too... Kakashi's confusion, Naruto's sen
Chapter 79 Mute: The taste of this Devil Fruit is too... Kakashi's confusion, Naruto's sense of detachment.
"No, every day."
Looking at Tian Tian's hand seal speed, Rock Lee's eyes widened, and he looked like he'd seen a ghost: "When did your hand seal speed become so fast?"
He'd seen the hand seals used to be performed every day before.
That kind of speed is impossible.
"This level of proficiency."
Hyuga Neji also said with a solemn expression, "If they practice ninjutsu, it would be like adding wings to a tiger."
He had never seen such a fast hand seal formation speed.
With this kind of hand seal speed, one could probably perform the legendary one-handed hand seal, right?
"hey-hey."
Hearing what everyone said, Tian Tian chuckled.
If she hadn't opened the jar at Lin Mo's place, she wouldn't have been able to form hand seals so quickly.
In two days, I can open the jars again. Just thinking about it makes me excited.
"It seems that Tian Tian is not only putting in hard work on physical skills."
Might Guy gave Tian Tian a thumbs up and praised her, "She has worked hard on her hand seal speed, which is amazing and beyond my expectations."
"Great, Tenten, I don't need to worry about your ninjutsu anymore."
"With this speed, your hidden weapon skills are far superior to your physical skills. You can work hard on your physical skills in a short time."
"Next, I will instruct you in physical techniques."
With this speed of hand seal formation, it's more than enough, and there's no need to practice any more in the short term.
Because he had seen some Chunin, and even Jonin, whose hand seals were not as fast as Tenten's.
If those who are slow at forming hand seals knew this, they would probably be shocked!
"Yes, Teacher Kai!"
Upon hearing Matt Kai's words, Tian Tian immediately responded loudly.
She also really hopes to become stronger.
"Great, let's start with weight training, then begin the workout."
"Neji, Lee, you two should come too."
As Might Guy spoke, he turned to look at Neji Hyuga and Rock Lee.
"Understood, Teacher Kai!"
Lee Locke was immediately filled with enthusiasm and stood up straight, excitedly walking to the side to begin training.
Hyuga Neji, with a solemn expression, decided to begin practicing hand seals.
He also has a talent for ninjutsu, so while training in taijutsu, he cannot neglect ninjutsu either.
The speed at which hand seals are formed is indeed a crucial factor.
If you can form hand seals quickly, then the ninjutsu you release will be faster than others.
After Might Guy finished speaking, he walked directly towards the direction where Kurenai Yuhi was hiding.
That was behind a big tree.
"Why are you here instead of training your students?"
Might Guy looked at Kurenai with great curiosity: "I remember you're not exactly free either."
Although the students in Kurenai's class all come from large families, it doesn't mean they can be lazy; rather, they need to be even more diligent.
Whether it's the Inuzuka clan, the Aburame clan, or the Hyuga clan.
"I just stopped by to see Tian Tian, the kid, since I was passing by and wanted to check on the students this morning."
Kurenai gazed at Tenten, who was training, and exclaimed in amazement, "I just didn't expect to see such a surprise right away. Her hand seal speed is so fast! Did you teach her?"
"How is that possible?"
Might Guy was speechless: "To be honest, my hand seal speed can't even match what Tenten is showing so far. I don't know how this kid was trained."
"Putting aside his taijutsu, he's almost as strong as Lee, and his ninjutsu hand seals are incredibly fast right now."
"The amount of hard work they've put in is ridiculous."
There are absolutely no shortcuts when it comes to physical skills or hand seal speed.
It's all about training.
He was curious, did they not sleep at home all day?
"Is her physical talent really that strong?"
Upon hearing Might Guy's words, Kurenai Yuhi's eyelids twitched.
As a Jonin who was familiar with Might Guy, she knew very well how strong Rock Lee was in taijutsu among Might Guy's students.
Because that child doesn't have the talent for ninjutsu, only the talent for taijutsu.
Therefore, he devoted all his energy to physical training and can be considered Might Guy's personal disciple.
Tenten's talents include space-time ninjutsu, taijutsu, and ninja tool manipulation, right?
When did such strong physical skills become possible?
"yes."
Hearing Kurenai's words, Might Guy sighed, "I sparred with Lee yesterday. If Lee hadn't taken off his weights, we would have been evenly matched. It's unbelievable."
"Especially when I gave Tenten some weight yesterday, I found that her physical fitness is very strong, even Chunin can't compare."
"So, this child has shown yet another talent?"
Kurenai rubbed her chin, squinted her eyes, and said, "Could I take her with me for a few days? I really like her."
I like both Tian Tian's personality and his talents.
His family background is impeccable; he's practically her ideal successor!
"no."
Might Guy shook his head and said, "What you are proficient in is illusion magic. Tenten does not have talent in illusion magic. She has talent in physical skills, so naturally she should practice physical skills."
"The Chunin Exams are about to begin, and I plan to have her participate, so she will definitely need to increase the intensity of her taijutsu training."
"A talent for illusion magic."
Hearing Might Guy's words, Kurenai Yuhi sighed softly.
Yes, I am proficient in illusion magic, which is a very rare talent.
Children with a talent for illusion are extremely rare.
She has yet to find a suitable child to inherit her mantle.
The reason she said that to Might Guy was because she saw the speed at which Tenten could form hand seals.
This can increase the practice of illusion techniques, and see if it's possible to find a path in illusion magic.
However, Tian Tian's illusionary talent has not been displayed; instead, his physical talent has been shown, which is in no way inferior to that of Rock Lee.
With the Chunin Exams approaching, Might Guy couldn't possibly let himself lead the opponent.
"So, if you want to find suitable students, you simply can't."
Matt Kai laughed heartily, "But I believe there will definitely be more in the future, after all, you're still young, by the way."
As they were talking, Might Guy suddenly remembered something and said with a smile, "I can't leave right now. If you have time, you can go find Kakashi and ask him when he's free tonight. Just tell him I'm asking him to continue the match tonight, and whoever loses has to treat."
If it weren't for his daily display of physical talent, he could have gone to find it himself.
"OK."
Hearing Might Guy's words, Kurenai Yuhi nodded.
He then said goodbye to Matt Kay and left.
Although there is no mention of Winston Kakashi, there are only a few places in total, provided that the ninja squad led by the Jonin does not leave the village.
They've all been roughly divided up.
For example, Shino Aburame and others led by her, and Rock Lee and others led by Might Guy.
You can find it by asking around.
I'll train some more this afternoon, then go eat some snail rice noodles tonight, and see if Tenten goes to Hinata's place.
And at this very moment.
the other side.
The training ground of Team 7 in Konoha.
A clearing in a dense wooded area.
Naruto Uzumaki took the money bag Kakashi handed him, his face contorted in a grimace: "Just 150,000?"
"The 100,000 is the money you need to pay back to Teacher Iruka, and the other 50,000 is a loan from me."
Kakashi calmly said, "I don't think you'll pay me back, so for the next few tasks, I'll deduct your payment and then distribute the remaining amount to you after I've paid you back in full."
Naruto Uzumaki: "??????"
"How could this be?"
Naruto's face turned green: "I don't have any money from the mission? I need to pay back the money first? What's the difference between this and an advance payment?"
"It's no different from an advance payment."
Kakashi looked at Naruto with a strange expression: "According to my calculation, this fifty thousand dollars is enough for you to eat, drink, and raise your summoning beasts."
"All right."
Hearing this, Naruto sighed.
Anyway, something is better than nothing.
As for repaying the money, it's impossible.
I'll pay back the money when I have enough money in the future.
The 150,000 yuan I have is enough to open a jar.
He decided to sneak off to the shop owner's place to open the jar that night.
"Then let's start the mission now. I've already taken on some E-level missions, and I can complete five a day."
The next second, Kakashi took out three mission assignment sheets and slowly said, "Although the reward is not much, the main consideration is your cooperation, working together to deal with the target, capture the target, or assigning tasks according to your respective responsibilities. Once you're ready, let's set off now."
"Don't even think about slacking off."
At this point, Kakashi paused, turned to look at Naruto Uzumaki, and said in a low voice, "The sooner you finish, the sooner you can go back. If you don't finish, you might have to go back in the middle of the night, and you still have a mission tomorrow."
"That won't do."
Sakura Haruno's eyes widened upon hearing Kakashi's words.
For girls, getting enough sleep and taking care of their skin are the most important things.
If I go back late at night, it will affect my skin.
Naruto's expression also changed drastically.
Because I went back late at night, the shop owner had already closed, and I couldn't even open the jar myself.
He was hoping to get some good stuff from the shop owner to make himself stronger.
Only Uchiha Sasuke remained completely calm, saying nothing, seemingly unconcerned about returning home late at night.
"And don't even think about slacking off."
Looking at Naruto Uzumaki, who was glaring at him angrily, Kakashi said with a deep gaze, "Because even these lowest-level missions require assessment and scoring. This assessment score will accompany you throughout your ninja career. It will be required when you take the exams for Chunin and Jonin, and when you take on certain positions and accept missions."
"Is it that serious?"
Upon hearing this, Sakura Haruno's expression froze.
Are these low-level tasks really worth the trouble?
"Alright, I hereby announce that the mission begins."
Kakashi ignored Sakura Haruno's words and left.
Seeing this, Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno immediately followed.
time flies.
Before we knew it, it was noon.
Naruto Uzumaki stared at the captured black cat with a dark expression on his face.
"Do we really need to be this meticulous just to catch a cat?"
They used stealth, locked onto the target, and employed ninjutsu to finally surround and capture the black cat.
You could just run after it and catch it!
"This is about ninja cooperation. These details are the most important for your future teamwork, so don't underestimate them."
Kakashi calmly said, "Ninjas are not just brutes; they also represent strategy. Cooperation requires coordination, and if this coordination is not trained, it will be fatal in future missions."
"Naruto, do you understand?"
As he spoke, Kakashi fixed his gaze on Naruto.
Naruto Uzumaki: "."
Hearing Kakashi's words and seeing Kakashi's gaze fixed on him, Naruto's face darkened: "I know, I know, why are you suddenly so serious?"
"Ugh."
Seeing Naruto's reaction, Kakashi sighed inwardly.
These three people still need time to get along.
Although Sasuke Uchiha was incredibly calm and analytical, he never truly integrated into this small team.
They cooperate simply for the sake of cooperation, without caring who the target of the cooperation is.
As a Jonin, he was able to see the problem with the three of them through this small mission.
Naruto Uzumaki seems carefree, but he is also meticulous and cooperative, yet there is also a sense of detachment about him.
This sense of detachment wasn't as strong as Sasuke's, but it still existed.
Of the entire team, only Sakura Haruno didn't seem to feel alienated and wanted to integrate into the group.
Although Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha cooperated, they never truly regarded Sakura Haruno as a comrade.
Although he knew that this would take time to adjust, the fact that the team performed so well on their very first mission was beyond his expectations.
In his eyes, this was completely unacceptable.
Most importantly, why does Naruto Uzumaki feel detached towards Sakura Haruno?
Sasuke Uchiha understood that it wasn't something that could be corrected in a short time, and it would take time to bring him back to his senses.
However, Sakura Haruno was a girl that Naruto Uzumaki liked. From Sakura Haruno's initial reluctance to get close to Naruto, to her attempts to get closer, Naruto Uzumaki maintained a "certain distance".
This distance could never be a hindrance.
Sakura, who was previously useless, is now the most normal one.
"Let's eat first."
With a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, Kakashi calmly said, "Let's eat and rest for half an hour before starting the next mission."
"Yay!"
Upon hearing this, Naruto Uzumaki was overjoyed and immediately took out instant noodles from his backpack.
Sakura Haruno: "."
Uchiha Sasuke: "."
Kakashi: "."
The three of them twitched slightly at the corners of their mouths as they looked at the instant noodles in Naruto's backpack.
Naruto Uzumaki's love for instant noodles is truly beyond what most people would expect.
Sakura then took out her bento box, and Sasuke Uchiha also made a simple meal.
Kakashi casually started a fire, took some things out of his backpack, and put them in a pot to cook.
"Sigh, I wish time would pass quickly."
Naruto Uzumaki looked up at the sky while unpacking his instant noodles.
He really wanted to open the can right now.
With 150,000 in hand, enough to open a jar, he couldn't resist running over and opening it right now.
Unfortunately, he knew he couldn't attract too much attention.
I wonder how many people have opened jars at the shop owner's place.
Before you've driven enough, be careful not to attract too much attention.
As random thoughts began to surface in Naruto's mind.
the other side.
The road leading from Konoha Village to Tanzaku Town.
Several horse-drawn carriages were leisurely traveling along.
Jingyin sat in the last carriage, slurping up snail rice noodles.
The person driving this car is a female ninja.
She was only wearing fishnet stockings and no ninja headband.
Beside her sat a plump, elegant woman adorned with jewelry on both hands.
Clearly, this is a caravan.
"Ah Ren, thank you for your help this time. You can relax once we get to Tanzaku Street."
The elegant, plump woman chuckled and said, "I'll treat you to a lavish meal when you arrive."
"Yes, madam."
Upon hearing the words of the elegant, plump woman, the female ninja nodded slightly, her gaze subtly sweeping over Shizune, who was sitting behind her slurping noodles.
Her intuition told her that this woman was dangerous, which was why she stayed close to her master.
But judging from their appearance, they really seemed to be in a hurry to get somewhere, and they seemed quite carefree.
With a cute pink spirit beast by his side, he shouldn't be a bad person.
"Oh, I bought too few."
Meanwhile, Jingyin had finished slurping up her snail rice noodles and looked like she had a headache.
This stuff was so delicious, I didn't expect to finish it all at noon.
If I had known, I would have packed more and put them in the sealed scroll.
"That unscrupulous businessman."
The next second, Jingyin thought of that little jar shop, and her lips twitched slightly.
All the expenses I spent traveling between Tanabata Street and Konoha Village couldn't compare to the jar that Tonton broke.
Shizune subconsciously took out the Operation Fruit, gritting her teeth as she looked at the Devil Fruit that resembled a strawberry and was covered with spiral patterns.
She had never seen this before and had no idea what kind of strange fruit it was.
No fruit looks like this.
Thinking that this thing cost her 100,000 taels of silver, Jingyin immediately took a vicious bite, as if she were biting Lin Mo rather than the fruit, intending to vent her anger.
"What's this smell?"
The next second, Silent's expression changed drastically.
The taste was so unbearable that she found it disgusting.
Subconsciously, Jingyin hurriedly spat it out, saying "Pui pui pui" several times in a row.
"Damn, that's 100,000 taels of silver! And they put such awful fruit in there."
The silence that escaped his lips, coupled with the thought that this thing was worth 100,000, made his face turn green.
This thing is absolutely inedible.
The moment she took a bite, the taste was absolutely awful, and she immediately spat it out.
Looking at this Devil Fruit, Shizune was speechless.
How could there be such an unpalatable thing? Where did this fruit come from?
"No wonder it's called a Devil Fruit, this taste is definitely devilish."
Thinking about what she heard when she left the jar shop, Shizune was speechless.
This taste truly lives up to its reputation as a devil.
Moreover, that unscrupulous merchant even claimed that consuming it would grant incredible abilities, such as the ability to create a surgical space, making it sound very mystical.
It left her speechless.
Shizune shook her head as she thought about the Devil Fruit's abilities.
Just as Shizune was thinking, she suddenly froze.
She felt as if a special power had appeared within her body.
Is it just an illusion?
Silent's expression changed.
She felt something changing within her body; it was vague, but definitely there.
As a special medical ninja, she knew her own physical condition better than anyone else.
Is there something wrong with this fruit?
Silently put the Devil Fruit down.
In that instant, the silent hand suddenly released a blue light.
