Kurayoshi didn't know that Sarutobi had come, and he wouldn't care if he did.

He was now immersed in his practice, and the twenty clones plus the main body each carried flammable paper to carry the chakra.

Although the output is not high, the twenty-one simultaneous outputs add up to a lot, and it is a continuous and uninterrupted output.

This kind of consumption is difficult for even the immortal body to last.

Kurayoshi held out for an hour and a half, but he couldn't hold on anymore and had to stop to rest.

And the paper, nothing has changed.

Kurayoshi couldn't help but sigh: "The road is long and obstructive!" ”

Ever since he understood how to use the Golden Finger, he had made visible progress every time he cultivated, but this time there was no change.

But he wasn't angry.

The road is long and the line is coming.

As long as you go all the way, there will be a harvest eventually.

As the strength became stronger and stronger, the things that he practiced in the future became more and more profound and difficult to learn.

This is an inevitable phenomenon.

"Drink some water!"

Ryohei came over with a kettle.

Kurayoshi thanked him, took a big sip, and then let out a sigh of relief, and his face, which seemed tired from cultivation, was much more energetic.

Ryohei took the kettle that Kurayoshi had returned and continued, "Hokage-sama came here just now. ”

"Oh."

Kurayoshi's faint response seemed to have been expected.

Ryohei hesitated, and said what Ape Fei had just explained.

After listening, Kurayoshi lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he looked up at Ryohei, "Don't worry about it, it's done as he said." ”

Although, he is not interested in the Hokage and power, but living in Konoha and living as a ninja, it is inevitable to deal with these people.

In this life, there is always a time to ask for others, one more friend and one more way.

He's just a civilian who isn't even a ninja, and it's not because others are willing to put down their bodies and befriend you because they want to get you something.

If you think very highly of yourself because you have a golden finger, look down on others, and cut off contact with others, it is arrogant.

The arrogant will not end well in the end.

What's more, he has a good relationship with Ding Ci, Shikamaru and others, so there is no need to be so estranged from the people in the village.

"Hmm!" Ryohei nodded, "Then I'll go to Nara's house now to ask for medicinal herbs." ”

"There's no rush for this, I guess the Hokage hasn't done it yet, you can show me the change in the nature of the chakra later, and I'll take a closer look with the writing wheel."

"Okay."

After resting for a while, Kurayoshi felt that after the chakra recovered, he continued to practice.

He thought of a lot of ways to be more efficient.

But at the end of the day, it only made the paper smoke a little.

Kurayoshi was not angry either, and continued the next day.

Then the third, fourth, fifth......

In the blink of an eye, two months have passed.

As the weather cools down, the lush green forests turn red, and the autumn leaves dance in the wind.

Kurayoshi lifted the shadow clone and endured the fatigue brought by the doppelganger's cultivation for a day, and at the same time gained a lot of enlightenment.

And then—

"Peng!"

As the chakra was delivered, the paper in his hand was ignited at once.

"Congratulations, congratulations."

Ryohei clapped his hands and walked over with a faint smile on his face.

After two months of getting along, his temperament has become more and more easy-going, and he is completely two people from the cold image of the root in the past.

Kurayoshi shook his head slightly, "It's just the first stage." ”

It's just the easiest paper to burn, and it's just ignited, not instantaneous.

Next, it is necessary to ignite things that are filled with moisture and do not burn easily.

Only by reaching this step can the metal weapon be given a change in nature and form.

Ryohei also shook his head slightly, "Everything is difficult at the beginning, now that you have mastered the change in the nature of fire, you just need to work hard to make the flame more vigorous." ”

"Yes." Kurayoshi smiled, "However, the vacation is over, and I have to go to school tomorrow." ”

"Don't you continue to ask for leave?"

"You have to combine work and rest."

"Really?"

Ryohei was a little suspicious, he felt that Kurayoshi was trying to be lazy.

"Really."

Kurayoshi nodded sincerely.

Actually, he just didn't think it was necessary.

There are many wonderful things in a person's life, and it would be very sad if there was only practice.

There are still four years to go before graduating from school, and occasionally relaxing, walking and chatting with familiar people can relax the body and mind, which is good for physical and mental health, and also good for spiritual practice.

Moreover, October 10th is just a few days away.

Kurayoshi prepares to pay tribute to his parents before continuing.

……

The next morning, the sun was shining.

Kurayoshi got up early and walked to school.

The street is full of traffic and bustling.

"Konoha is getting more and more prosperous." Kurayoshi couldn't help but sigh.

In the past two months, because of his practice, he has been in a hurry, never stopping to take a good look at the nearby scenery.

At this time, slowly walking on the street and watching, there is a feeling of being separated from the world.

"Kurayoshi, Kurayoshi-kun......"

Behind him, a crisp silver bell-like voice came from afar.

Kurayoshi doesn't have to look to know who it is.

He turned around, and sure enough, he saw the purple and golden figure.

Although it is still small, I can faintly see a little bit of my posture in the future.

The little girl ran all the way, panting slightly.

Kurayoshi smelled the faint scent of cosmos flowers on the other party's body.

"Good morning, Ino." Kurayoshi greeted with a smile.

Ino was fascinated by the smile, stunned, and reacted.

The little face of the red flutter was a little shy.

"That, that...... Kurayoshi-kun, do you want to take a leave of absence to practice today? ”

"No, I'm going to school today, it's been a long time since I've said hello to Naruto Shikamaru."

"yes, let's go to school together!"

"Hmm!"

Kurayoshi nodded slightly, and the two of them headed to school together.

On the way, neither of them spoke.

However, Ino secretly looked at Kurayoshi from time to time, and then turned back as if he was afraid that Kurayoshi would find out.

Ino wanted to say something to Kurayoshi, but he was too nervous to say it.

Seeing that the school was getting closer and closer, Ino seemed to have made up his mind and shouted, "Kurayoshi-kun! ”

"Huh?" Kurayoshi looked at him suspiciously.

Looking at the faces close at hand, the gentle and handsome aura made Jing Ye's heart beat.

She clasped her hands in front of her chest, a little nervous, "Kura, Kurayoshi-kun, I ......"

Before he finished speaking, a child in a yellow outfit covered in walked out of the fork in front of him, as if he hadn't woken up.

"Naruto!"

Kurayoshi's eyes lit up, and he ran over screaming.

Looking at the figure that ran away, Jing Ye's heart was empty.

was disappointed, and breathed a sigh of relief.

However, looking at Naruto, who was chatting happily with Kurayoshi, it became more and more unpleasant.

"Naruto, this bastard, he won't come sooner or later, but now it's ......" Ino hated it.

After that, the three of them went to school together.

Entering the classroom, there were already a lot of people inside, most of them were chasing and fighting, and there were also guys sitting quietly in a daze.

Because he didn't come to school for two months, Kurayoshi attracted the attention of the whole class as soon as he came in.

Whether they know each other or not, they all come over curiously and ask questions.

Suddenly, Kurayoshi felt a strong gaze.

Looking down, I saw Sasuke sitting in his position, staring at him with blazing eyes.

"In the past two months, I have become stronger, and this time, I will definitely win."
