"Well done!"
Seeing Naruto's attack, Shinji used the breathing method to cover his whole body with Chakra, forming a flowing shield, and then turned his body around.
The shockwave emitted by Naruto was dispersed and interrupted by Shinji when it got within half a meter of him.
Whoosh—
A wind suddenly rose on the training ground, and in an instant, dust filled the air.
In the field, Shinji revealed a smile.
Just now, the system's reward had arrived.
[Disciple Naruto has diligently practiced, successfully mastering Quake Punch, and his strength has increased.]
[Reward: Chakra +1500, Yang Chakra Body progress increased by 10%.]
With the influx of Chakra, even the Yang Chakra Body, which had been constantly being refined, increased its progress again. Everything was developing in a good direction.
"Sensei." Naruto's weakly said.
Shinji was startled, and immediately came to Naruto's side. After helping Naruto up, he used Chakra to check Naruto's body, and only then did he exhale a breath.
"Sensei, is Naruto okay?" Shikamaru asked worriedly.
This was the first time they had seen Naruto in such a state.
Shinji shook his head, and took Naruto to lie down under a big tree with Hinata.
Only then did he say, "This is the first time he entered the Flawless State. He didn't control it well, and his cells were overloaded. He'll be fine after some rest."
Hearing Shinji say this, Shikamaru and the others finally felt relieved.
Shinji patted Naruto helplessly, saying in an annoyed tone, "I told you to use Eternal Fist to hit it, I didn't tell you to hit it at full power."
Naruto, lying on the ground with his eyes closed, said a little sheepishly, "Hehe, I forgot for a moment."
"Alright, rest well first." Shinji was helpless, and could only stand up and say this.
"You all go train on your own. I will watch over the two of them here."
He instructed the other disciples on the field, and turned around and sat down under another tree.
As for Hinata, she probably woke up just now. It's just that when Shinji put Naruto next to her just now, Naruto's hand accidentally landed on her hand. Now she's probably too shy to open her eyes.
But it's fine, Hinata has been busy helping others these past few days. She might as well get some good rest.
—
Just as Shinji was looking through the panel, Shikamaru's voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Dad? Uncle Choza? Why are you guys here?"
Shikamaru, who was training with Choji, was surprised to see Shikaku and Choza standing at the entrance of the training ground.
Shinji, who had already gotten up, came before Shikaku and Choza, and said with a smile, "Shikaku-senpai, Choza-senpai, hello."
Shikaku withdrew his gaze from his son and the other children training on the training ground, turned around, and said to Shinji with a smile, "Shinji, I'll call you that, do you have time to talk with us?"
Shinji nodded, not objecting. He said to the disciples on the field, "You guys just continue training."
Coming under a nearby tree, Shikaku finally spoke, "Shinji, we received the scrolls you asked Shikamaru to give us last time."
Shinji was startled, he had almost forgotten about this matter himself.
"Yes, Shikaku-senpai, do you have any questions?"
Shikaku said with a serious expression, "No, to be honest, those scrolls are so great that the three clans don't know how to thank you."
To be honest, when he first saw the scrolls, if he hadn't restrained himself, he would have almost thought that his son had revealed the foundation of the clan's secret techniques to Shinji. Only after carefully understanding them later did he feel relieved.
After all, the foundation of a ninja clan is the inheritance of its secret techniques. No matter how broad-minded he, Shikaku, was, he wouldn't dare to reveal everything about secret techniques. Besides, he wasn't.
Shinji shook his head and said, "No need, these are just some suggestions I gave based on my usual observations of Shikamaru and the others' coordination."
They were just suggestions. Otherwise, he wouldn't have given them directly to Shikamaru.
"That may be true, but I can honestly say here that Shinji, you will be an honored guest of our three clans in the future."
"Inoichi couldn't come because he still has intelligence decryption missions."
After Shikaku finished speaking, he explained why Ino's father didn't come along.
"No need, Shikaku-senpai, after all, Shikamaru and the others are my disciples. This is something I should naturally consider for them."
After all, a master is both a teacher and a father. In terms of inheritance, it means the successor of one's mantle.
Choza, who was standing beside him, laughed heartily and patted Shinji's shoulder affectionately. "Hahaha, I told you, Shikaku. Shinji often comes to my house, he's not the type of person who would think about doing something just because of this kind of thing."
Shikaku felt helpless when he heard this. Wasn't he just afraid of owing too big a favor that he couldn't repay?
Now, Choza just blurted everything out.
Shinji suddenly understood why Shikaku had such an attitude. So he thought he would demand something from the Ino-Shika-Cho clans because of this.
Shinji said a little helplessly, "Shikaku-senpai, what you've done loses the demeanor of Konoha's number one strategist."
If it were before, he might have had such an idea. However, with his current status, there was really no need.
The friendship of the Ino-Shika-Cho was already worth the price of admission. Plus, having spent time with Shikamaru and the others, he genuinely cared about these disciples. He only hoped that they could escape those fates.
"I was abrupt. Come to my house when you're free and have a drink together."
Shikaku also laughed heartily, it seemed he was a bit too cautious.
"Okay, I'll go if I have time." Shinji nodded in response.
Although the Ino-Shika-Cho couldn't compare to the Uchiha and Hyuga, in Shinji's opinion, they were more worth associating with than the former two great clans.
Shinji had never thought about having deeper contact with the Uchiha.
As for the Hyuga clan, honestly, if it weren't for the new generation producing three individuals capable of revitalizing the clan like Neji, Hinata, and Hanabi, Shinji would have probably avoided them like the plague long ago.
What kind of good person has a brain like that?
Instead of expanding the clan, they restricted their own clansmen, dividing them into Main Family and Branch Family relationships.
To be honest, if Shinji himself had been reborn into the Hyuga Branch Family, he would definitely live with the goal of destroying this clan.
With his life held in someone else's hands, of course, he would get rid of them. He wasn't Hashirama reborn.
Choza, who was beside him, asked Shinji familiarly, "Oh right, Shinji, when can you give me the energy storage capsules you mentioned last time? I've been stuck there recently."
Since the medicinal baths, his Akimichi clan's business had grown bigger and bigger. This made Choza very happy, after all, their clan members were all big eaters, and the money they earned basically all went into their stomachs.
Shinji nodded. "Okay, I'll get it ready and give it to you as soon as possible."
He also had a share in the Akimichi clan's medicinal bath business, otherwise, with just his Chunin and teacher's salary, it would never be enough for Naruto and Choji's food expenses.
