__________
The main reason was that there was no reference point, so there was no way for Shiwei to know how powerful Gu could be.
Even so, it was enough to excite him.
What is the most important thing in this world?
It's hope!
Shiwei took a deep breath.
He suddenly realized that Shiki really had the potential to become Hokage.
With Tsunade's apprentice, medical ninja, and special bugs, Shiki's future was limitless.
"There is one more."
Shiki took out the white pig Gu.
He got two.
One had been used to practice the White Jade Gu.
This was the only one left.
The white pig Gu no longer had any effect on him, so it would be a waste to keep it.
"This mutation is really bizarre," Shiwei said, looking at the white pig Gu, which was completely different from the Moonlight Gu.
"This is how mutation works," Shiki replied calmly.
"What does it do?" Shiwei asked with anticipation.
"It permanently increases strength. Although there's an upper limit, everyone can use it," Shiki explained.
"What?!" Shiwei was truly shocked this time.
This kind of insect was simply unheard of.
The most important part was the second half of the sentence.
Shiki is here! The clan is saved!
"Dad," Shiki sat at the table and said, "Let's arm wrestle."
Shiwei was skeptical but held out his hand.
He gradually applied more force, but Shiki's small hand didn't move at all.
Not only that, Shiki's expression remained unchanged.
Shiwei's heart raced as he used all his strength, though he refrained from using chakra.
"I won." Shiki smiled faintly and pressed his father's hand down on the table.
"You win! Hahaha!" Shiwei was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
[Achieved the 'Father and Son Game' achievement and received the Brute Force Longicorn Gu as a reward.]
[Brute Force Longicorn Gu: A first-level Gu worm, consumable, can grant Gu Masters temporary great strength.]
Father and son game, nothing wrong with that.
The effects of the brute force longicorn Gu and the white pig Gu are the same, but the duration is different.
The former lasts for five breaths, while the latter lasts for ten breaths.
With one more Gu, Shiwei was quite pleased.
After all, it came for free.
---
"Have you told anyone?"
After laughing, Shiwei's expression became serious.
Since this was related to the rise of the clan, he had to be extremely cautious.
"No," Shiki shook his head. "You're the second person to know."
"That's good."
Shiwei exhaled, "This matter must not be known to outsiders, especially the ANBU and Root."
As expected, Shiki thought to himself.
His father was even more cautious than he was.
After all, the entire clan was at stake.
"I plan to give it to Shino first," Shiki said, adjusting his sunglasses. "Dad, you'll be in charge of selecting the remaining candidates."
"This requires careful consideration."
Shiwei fell into deep thought.
He wanted to let all the clan's ninjas use it, but that would expose them prematurely, which wasn't appropriate.
Tsunade had been able to save Shiki, but it was hard to say what would happen to the others.
Shiwei made a quick decision.
It would only be used within a small circle.
They would wait until Shiki grew strong enough.
"Dad, I need your help with something."
Shiki leaned forward, explaining the matter with Green Kui.
"Did Lady Tsunade tell you?" Shiwei asked, somewhat confused.
That was indeed part of the reason.
But in any case, Shiwei wouldn't directly ask Tsunade about it.
Even if he was exposed, the worst that would happen was a few scoldings from her.
Shiki nodded.
"I'll send someone to monitor him," Shiwei said as he immediately stood up to make arrangements.
Shiki left the room and looked toward Shino in the courtyard.
The white pig Gu could be used by others.
However, it was different from its original form.
The system provided it, and it wouldn't change ownership.
In other words, Shiki still retained control and could take it back at any time.
"Shino."
Shiki called out.
"What's up?" Shino approached him.
"Don't resist."
Shiki took out the white pig Gu.
True energy flowed into it as it rushed directly to Shino's dantian.
"What's this?" Shino asked, feeling uneasy.
Anyone would feel uncomfortable having a foreign object forced into their body.
"How do you feel?" Shiki asked.
Based on his experience, it took three days for the white pig Gu to take full effect.
But Shino, unaware of the details, didn't dare make assumptions.
"Feel?" Shino shook his head, "I don't feel anything."
"Punch that tree with all your strength."
Shiki instructed.
Shino looked confused, but since Shiki didn't explain, he went ahead and followed the instruction.
He punched deliberately, his fist colliding with the tree trunk.
Shino's calm expression turned stiff with shock.
Power surged through him!
He had never felt anything so incredible!
"Don't tell anyone about this," Shiki said, glancing at the shaking tree.
"Yes!" Shino responded excitedly.
It felt amazing to grow stronger out of nowhere.
"See you tomorrow," Shiki waved and walked toward the room.
Shino wanted to say something but held back.
He had many questions, but Shiki didn't give him the opportunity.
Shiki really was becoming more and more mysterious.
Shino looked down at his fist and smiled again.
Whatever it was, it was good for him.

Thursday afternoon.
"Class, tomorrow is the Chunin Exam, so we will have a day off."
Umino smiled and said, "I suggest you go watch the exam if you have time. It will be good for you."
After he said that, he turned and left the classroom.
"Shiki!"
Ino trotted over.
She glanced at Naruto, Hinata, and others, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
After all, she got one step ahead.
"Shiki, are you going to watch the game tomorrow?"
Ino asked expectantly.
Her eyes were bright, like gems.
Not far away, Hinata looked a little lost.
"Sorry, I'm busy," Shiki said in refusal.
"Huh?"
Ino pursed her lips and said, "That's a pity."
The most regrettable thing is that she can't be with Shiki.
She had originally planned to buy some French fries or something, sit in the spectator seats, eat, and chat to enhance their relationship.
Shiki returned home.
"They plan to start at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."
Shiki felt a little emotional.
He really didn't expect that a Chunin and a Genin would dare to steal the Book of Sealing and the Sword of Thunder God.
"Okay then," Shiki said calmly, "We just have to wait."
"Can it succeed?"
Shiki's companion said in confusion, "With their strength, they will definitely be discovered by the ANBU."
"I don't know," Shiki paused, then said, "But I want them to succeed."
His companion couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Is it so sharp?
He already understood what Shiki was thinking.
If they succeed, they will have a reason or can easily obtain the Book of Seals and the Sword of Thor.
