"Hey, how about going to eat Ichiraku Ramen together?"
Naruto looked at the others and said with a smile.
"Hmph, I'll reluctantly accompany you." Sasuke said proudly with his arms crossed.
"Um... no problem." Hinata gently bit her lip and replied.
Ino was more open, she directly held Naruto's arm with both hands, showed a bright smile and said, "Ah, ramen, I haven't eaten it for a long time, it's not bad to eat it occasionally!"
Karin: ?o?o? Just follow them for a meal and it's done.
"Well, that's fine, it's quite good to eat ramen, it's not troublesome." Shikamaru said casually.
The group of people left amidst laughter.
Finally, Naruto took a deep look at the direction of the high-levels and Jonin in the arena. He could clearly feel the existence of Orochimaru, but he didn't burst out, pretending to be one of them.
The reason why Orochimaru hasn't taken action now and is just hiding among the Jonin is probably just observing the situation and preparing for the next thing. Since he wants to kill the Third Hokage, and let him die heroically for Konohagakure, he must strike a deadly blow at a critical moment, and now, there are too few people.
If Naruto hasn't guessed wrong, in the final assessment a month later, Orochimaru will appear in his most peak state, and then create a situation where no one else can save the Third Hokage.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, you only have one last month left, cherish it well.
...
In the afternoon, on the familiar training ground, Naruto and the others started their daily practice again. Hinata was developing the Byakugan ability with a targeted approach, Ino was absorbing elemental power, Sasuke was secretly trying in his hand how to best control and use the electromagnetic field...
Shikamaru, on the other hand, was receiving individual tutoring from Naruto.
"So, how do we start?"
Shikamaru asked with one hand on his waist.
Although they are very afraid of trouble, this does not mean that he is stupid. Practicing Naruto's new system will definitely give them stronger power, thereby avoiding a lot of trouble. It is foolish to save trouble in a short time and let it be more troublesome in the future.
He could see that although Naruto is different from before, he is still Naruto, and he is still quite friendly to himself. This feeling... it's as if Naruto has suddenly grown up, as if he has undergone some kind of transformation.
Combined with Hinata's divine empty strike, Sasuke's Susano'o, Ino's Taijutsu and Water Release, Shikamaru seriously suspects that the new system has a special ability to transform people.
"Alright."
Naruto simply patted Shikamaru's shoulder, used his own elemental power to activate Shikamaru's Spiritual Perception State, and then said.
This way of instruction is the fastest. When facing people whose strength is far weaker than his own, Naruto can casually operate with elemental power in their bodies. If it comes to in-body micro-operation in actual combat, forget it, directly using the wind blade in the body to blow people up is more reliable.
"Is it done already?"
Shikamaru couldn't understand what Naruto had done, but soon felt a strange feeling, as if the whole world had become clear, and his brain had also become very cool...
My perception and detailed operation abilities have been greatly improved. If there are no excessive side effects, this state is simply a divine technique!
"Carefully savor what changes have taken place in your body, and try to operate with chakra next time. If you succeed, you can be considered to have learned this technique. If you fail... you might die." Naruto said with a kind smile.
"Tsk, it's so troublesome."
Shikamaru could hear that this was a joke, but if he made a mistake, the side effects would probably not be small. It's better to succeed in one go, and he needs to practice seriously.
"The whole technique is called Spiritual Perception State, you can try to know more detailed things." Naruto said with a smile.
"Oh, I see."
...
Not long after, Shikamaru changed and practiced the Spiritual Perception State, and Naruto also took advantage of this gap to teach Karin how to enter the Spiritual Perception State, and then gave Sasuke a look.
Karin ran over happily, looking at Sasuke with a smile on her face. Sasuke, who originally wanted to concentrate on practicing controlling electromagnetic force, had a cold face, crossed his arms and said arrogantly, "Tsk, what a troublesome guy, learn well, don't embarrass me!"
"Okay!" Karin nodded happily.
"The so-called practice of elemental power is..."
Sasuke began to explain in detail, although he looked impatient, but he was thinking about how to express it in the simplest way that people can understand, so that Karin can learn as quickly as possible.
"Is absorbing elemental power like this?"
Karin tried and asked.
"Yes, very good, only absorb one kind of elemental power you like the most, don't absorb too much, otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble."
Sasuke nodded slightly and said, "Your learning progress is okay. Although it's not as good as mine, you can already be proud of yourself. After all, not everyone has the strong talent that I have."
"Um, yes, yes, yes." Karin said.
Her cultivation talent is actually very good, her innate perception is very strong, and she can easily perceive the existence of elemental power after opening the Spiritual Perception State, which is a full bonus to her bloodline.
Karin is good at two elements, earth and water. She doesn't like the earth element, so she directly absorbed the water element. Now her progress is very fast, and she feels that her future is very bright.
...
"I've sensed it, that thing, there are many different colored light spots in the air, are those what you call elemental power?" Shikamaru asked.
"Yes, choose the one that suits you best for cultivation, don't absorb other elements excessively. The body of an ordinary person may have abnormal side effects after absorbing multiple elemental powers, don't be greedy." Naruto warned.
"What about Hinata?" Shikamaru asked.
Now that he has opened the Spiritual Perception State, he can also see the flow of various elements, naturally knowing that Hinata has absorbed the full attribute elemental power, so he is curious.
Shikamaru's spiritual talent is very good, and it is precisely because his spiritual talent is good that his thinking is active and he is good at considering various things. Spirit and thinking complement each other. His chakra volume is small mainly because his body is not good, lacking enough physical energy.
"Look carefully, Hinata is not using her own body to absorb elemental power, but using her eyes, using Byakugan to absorb full attribute elemental power, the improvement she is getting now is actually the feedback of Byakugan."
Naruto paused slightly and continued, "Even if she absorbs too much full attribute elemental power, Byakugan can help her solve the problem and deal with the excess elemental power, but you are different, you don't have Byakugan, you can only absorb one kind."
Shikamaru glanced at Sasuke, approached Naruto, and asked in a very small voice, "So, do you mean, Byakugan and Sharingan, um..."
"Both Byakugan and Sharingan have the ability to enhance observation, allowing users to easily obtain the ability to absorb elemental power, which is very helpful for cultivation."
"In addition, being able to absorb multiple elemental powers does not mean being strong. Although Hinata can absorb full attribute elemental power, none of her seven elements can beat Sasuke's Raiton. She can only mainly develop her own Byakugan ability." Naruto explained.
"Oh, I see."
Shikamaru almost understood.
Absorbing full attribute elemental power is a thankless task for ordinary ninjas, but Hinata mainly uses elemental power to develop Byakugan, so as long as she piles up chakra and elemental power, she can do it. Skills all rely on Byakugan, ordinary ninjas play like this will be wasted.
Sasuke also has Sharingan, and there is a high probability that he can also use Hinata's gameplay, but he is taking another path, focusing on one point, reaching the peak, and exerting the power of the lightning element to the extreme, which can also exert a very strong effect.
...
"Um, Sasuke, I have a bit of a headache."
Karin gently rubbed her head and said.
"Ah, you should have used chakra to open the Spiritual Perception State, right?" Sasuke was shocked and quickly observed Karin carefully and asked.
"Yes, I didn't have elemental power before."
Karin replied.
"That's right, using chakra to open the Spiritual Perception State requires more energy and will also consume more mental energy, but it's not a big deal, just rest more." Sasuke said with relief.
"Oh, no wonder I feel so tired."
Karin quietly approached Sasuke, blushed slightly and asked, "Can I, lean on you for a little rest? Just a little rest will do."
"Ah?"
Sasuke instantly showed a face full of disdain, turned his head away and said dismissively, "Tsk, what a troublesome person, looking at your pitiful sake, just this once, next time it won't be so simple, got it?"
"Mm-hmm."
Karin cheerfully moved closer, found a comfortable position to lean on Sasuke, and felt very happy in her heart.
Others couldn't understand Sasuke's words, but she could. That so-called 'next time it won't be so simple' actually has a profound meaning.
What he meant was, if she asks again next time, he won't agree so simply. And Sasuke always sticks to his words, rarely going against what he has said.
But Karin still looked very happy, why is that?
It's simple, if Sasuke doesn't necessarily agree when she asks, then she doesn't have to ask, as long as she picks a good opportunity, he won't say anything if she takes the initiative to lean on him. So, Sasuke's words can actually be simply translated as: Don't ask me next time, otherwise I'll get angry, hmph!
The progress is going very smoothly, perfect!
Sasuke looked at Karin next to him, feeling the sensation of being relied upon, and felt very comfortable in his heart. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise subconsciously, but he still deliberately restrained himself and looked away.
Seeing this, Karin took advantage of the situation and directly hugged Sasuke's arm, rested her head on his shoulder, and fell asleep comfortably.
And Sasuke, because of the close touch and warmth of Karin, his heartbeat couldn't help but speed up. He wanted to pull his hand out and have a quiet moment, but when he saw Karin's peaceful and comfortable sleeping face, he couldn't bear to disturb this tranquility. He could only roar silently in his heart: "Ah, I can't stand it, what a troublesome person! Hmph!"
