"You've been playing around with all these messy things lately. Have you been a lot lazy in your recent practice?"

After glancing around the house, Liuli sounded dissatisfied.

In her opinion, Shiraishi's bizarre research is just a waste of time.

"It's just a personal interest. I actually prefer doing research to practicing."

With that said, Shiraishi picked up a small bag from the table and threw it to Liuli.

After Liuli took it, she frowned.

"What's in here?"

"Good stuff, it's my specially made Bingliang Pills. The efficiency of restoring chakra and physical strength is better than those on the market, and it's easy to digest and won't put a load on the human digestive system."

Bingliangwan has the effect of restoring physical strength and chakra, and has always been an emergency food that ninjas often eat when they are out on missions.

However, due to the bitter and unpleasant herbal taste, many people are not willing to take Bingliang Pills to solve the problem of insufficient physical strength and chakra unless they have to.

Coupled with the fact that it is not easy to digest, eating too much can easily cause indigestion in the human body.

"boast."

Liuli snorted, but still put the bag filled with special military ration pills into the ninja tool bag tied to her leg.

"Why do you want to make Bing Liang Pills?"

"Because you can't wait to graduate from ninja school, so you can use it just right."

Shiraishi said with an expression that saw everything through.

Liuli glanced at Baishi but said nothing.

Shiraishi paused and then continued to ask: "By the way, when do you plan to graduate?"

Liuli replied: "Although your guess is very reasonable, it is a pity that you guessed wrong this time."

"guessed wrong?"

A faint smile appeared on Liuli's face and she said: "Yes, I personally am very willing to graduate from school early, but the elders in the family are not happy for me to do so. Graduation at this time means going to the frontline battlefield. For a newcomer,

For genin, the mortality rate is very high."

Shiraishi understood, nodded and said: "I see, out of the protection of geniuses, just let it take its course and graduate. There is no need to complete your studies in advance. This is a natural result."

Once you graduate from school, it means saying goodbye to your comfortable days.

Normal graduation requires six years of study at the ninja school.

Now Shiraishi and Liuli are only third-year students, and they still have a few years to consolidate and grow before graduating normally.

It is not ruled out that there are geniuses in the ninja school who think they are outstanding and graduate early, and then are arranged to go to the frontline battlefield.

Shiraishi believes that the upper echelons of Konoha should have set a rule that children under the age of ten are not allowed to graduate from ninja school early during the war...

But when he thought about it, Shiraishi knew that he had taken it for granted.

During the Warring States Period, it was common for children as young as four or five to go to the battlefield.

Although the situation in the ninja world is a little better now, it is still not uncommon for children under the age of ten to go to the battlefield.

After graduating from the ninja school, they are already qualified ninjas and cannot be treated as children.

But in this way, their values ​​will have more or less problems, and they will easily go on the path of extremes.

"Liu Li, the elder of your family wouldn't want you to graduate with the strength of a ninja, right?"

Shiraishi suddenly noticed something.

Ruri, who is already eight years old, has already achieved the strength of a chuunin. In a few years, if she works hard, she may not be able to achieve the strength of a jounin.

Of course, he may be lacking in combat experience, but his ninjutsu and basic abilities are definitely not lacking.

Ruri has received elite teaching from the Uchiha clan since she was a child.

At the starting line, he was already a long way ahead of the civilian ninjas.

After graduation, experience can be slowly accumulated, but the lower limit of strength is very important for fledgling ninjas.

The more strength you have on the battlefield, the more chance you have of survival.

When Liuli heard what Baishi said, she immediately rolled her eyes at him.

Does this guy think that Jonin is a cabbage on the street?

The gap between jounin and chunin is wider than the gap between chunin and genin.

The so-called jounin are ninjas who are excellent in a certain field or several fields.

Even though Liuli is arrogant, she dare not say that she can improve a certain field to the level where she can become a master in the next few years.

The Jounin selection is simply not as difficult as the Chuunin selection.

After chatting for a while at Shiraishi's house, at six o'clock in the evening, the two of them went to Ichiraku Ramen Shop to eat ramen and settle the dinner problem before saying goodbye and leaving.

"Sorry, something suddenly happened over there, so I came a little late."

In the dense forest behind the school, it was already dark at this time.

The person who agreed to meet Shiraishi here was Ayane.

Two years have passed, and she has also changed from a first-year student to a third-year student, and is a little taller than before.

Hearing the voice coming from behind, Ayane, who had her hands clasped behind her back, slowly turned around.

She was wearing a white dress with the crest of the Hyuga clan and dark blue trousers. She had long straight black hair that reached her waist. There were no impurities in her pure white pupils. The smile on her face gave people a kind of

The beautiful feeling of brightness and innocence.

"It doesn't matter, I just arrived not long ago. But Shiraishi-kun was delayed a little bit because of Liuli. Sometimes I really envy her."

Although the Uchiha clan has always been vigorous and resolute in their work style because they are in charge of Konoha's security force, giving people a sense of arrogance and domineering, and their clan's excessive emphasis on strength has offended many ninjas and civilians, but

At least this family is not as ruthless and cold-blooded as the Hyuga clan, who would treat their own people as slaves.

Because of this, Ayane, who also came from a wealthy family, was very envious of Ruri's free personality and life.

It would be nice if she was born into the Uchiha clan.

"Yes, I was preached to by her again."

Shiraishi scratched his head in slight distress.

"Don't say that. I think this is just proof of your friendly relationship."

Ayane smiled. Although she had no contact with Shiraishi on the surface since that incident, she secretly knew everything about Shiraishi.

For example, his hidden strength has reached the chuunin level.

He has a very close relationship with Ruri, the Uchiha genius.

He also secretly conducts some experiments with unknown purposes.

His sense of belonging to the village is almost zero, and he is considering leaving the village and becoming a rebel ninja in the near future.

As the communication between the two deepened, Shiraishi did not hide these things from Ayane.

Shiraishi believes that since they are partners, they should be honest with each other.

At least he should reveal part of his plan and purpose to Ayane to make her feel at ease.

"Yeah." Shiraishi felt that the time for private contact was limited and he couldn't dwell too much on this kind of thing, so he went straight to the point and said, "Is there nothing going on over there?"

"No, after all, I am just an insignificant member of the branch family. The Zong family will not waste too much energy on people like me."

It was originally a self-deprecating statement, but when it came out of Ayane's mouth, it turned out to be very bland.

Two years later, she has naturally been able to control her fluctuating anger a little.

Despite this, there was still a hint of sadness and sigh hidden in her pure white pupils.

With that said, Ayane took out a small package from her ninja tool bag, wrapped it in a cloth belt, and put it in Shiraishi's hand.

"Thanks a lot."

Shiraishi took the package and said softly.

"This is what I should do, but just studying blood shouldn't be enough, right?"

Ayane asked this question.

As the experiments become more and more formalized, Shiraishi has begun to carry out more weighty experiments.

Studying blood is an important link.

The blood is Ayane's own, as well as other members of the Hyuga clan.

These are all precious materials that Ayane carefully collected.

Because both Ayane and Shiraishi understand one thing. If they leave Konoha in the future, they must break the seal of the caged bird and let Ayane regain her freedom.

Otherwise, once Ayane's identity as a traitor is confirmed, the clan members will definitely use spells to kill Ayane on the spot.
