Kurenai's Invitation

Late at night, in the bedroom

Ryosuke was sorting out today's harvest.

A gold talent entry, plus an idle function after the system update.

In addition, the Shadow Clone, who had been observing several training grounds with his Byakugan and Sharingan copied three new ninjutsus today.

A C-rank Water Prison Technique, a C-rank Heart Beheading Technique, and a B-rank Fire release ninjutsu that surprised Ryosuke the most—Fire Dragon Flame Bullet.

The Water Prison Technique was copied from a Chūnin who seemed to be a ninja of the Sarutobi clan.

Ninjas of the Sarutobi clan basically do not practice outside, instead they all practice in the training ground inside the clan.

It is rare to see someone come to the public training ground, and Ryosuke was considered lucky to be able to see him.

And the other heart beheading Technique was copied from the opponent of the Sarutobi clan's ninja.

That's right!

Ryosuke was able to copy three new ninjutsus today all because of these two Chūnins fighting in the No. 2 training ground when they were bored and had nothing to do.

This allowed Ryosuke to get three ninjutsus for nothing.

And there is a B-rank Fire release ninjutsu among the copied ninjutsus as well.

This B-rank Fire release ninjutsu was also copied from the Chūnin of the Sarutobi clan.

As expected of a ninja of the Sarutobi clan.

Even if it's just a Chūnin, his arsenal of ninjutsu is much richer than other civilian ninjas, even Jōnin.

For a B-rank Fire release ninjutsu like Fire Dragon Flame Bullet, ordinary civilian ninjas will have to complete who knows how many tasks and they also need to accumulate many contributions in order to exchange for just one such ninjutsu.

But these ninjas from prominent clans can be bestowed with such ninjutsu by the elders of their clan as long as they just show some talent.

In contrast, their treatment can be said to be very different and even worlds apart.

Ryosuke also copied something like shuriken throwing techniques conveniently.

He is not a Grandmaster shuriken thrower per se, nor does he have much interest in it.

Generally speaking, Genins rely more on this aspect of skills in battle.

But after reaching the level of Jōnin, ninjutsu, genjutsu or taijutsu are basically used to determine the outcome.

Shuriken throwing?

Not everyone can be as fancy as the Uchiha.

For the most part, a normal Genin's shuriken throwing skills can only be described as mediocre.

This is also the shuriken throwing technique copied by Ryosuke.

"Maybe next time I can replicate Sasuke's shuriken throwing technique." Ryosuke thought suddenly.

Although Sasuke's shuriken throwing is not as fancy as his brother's but it's still enough for him to outperform most mid-genins.

But Ryosuke didn't take this matter too seriously. After all, his current strength is already comparable to a special Jōnin.

He doesn't really have to learn shuriken throwing or something.

It's optional.

Anyway, it may not be useful.

"The biggest gain today is the talent entry [50-50], and the second is the improvement of physical fitness after a day of practice."

The advantage of poor foundation is that the improvement effect in the early stage will be particularly obvious.

It's very motivating.

It's like losing weight.

If a person can see weight loss every day, the motivation will naturally flow.

But if the weight can't be reduced no matter what, they will naturally give up over time.

...

Ryosuke slept comfortably.

Waking up the next day, Ryosuke was not sore from the crazy exercise the day before.

If it were someone else, they would not even be able to sit up. But Ryosuke was not a normal person.

Not only was his whole body comfortable, but he even felt more flexible and lighter in action than yesterday.

With just one day of training, the effect was terrifying.

If other taijutsu-type ninjas knew about this, their eyes would turn red from jealousy.

"Mom, I'll not come home for dinner tonight. I'm going to have a picnic with my classmates."

While eating breakfast, Ryosuke thought of the plan of having a picnic with Ino and the others the day before yesterday, so he told his mother, Mizuki in advance.

"Having a picnic with your classmates? Would you like your mother to buy some things for you in advance?" Mizuki asked with concern.

"No need, Mom." Ryosuke quickly finished his breakfast.

"We will prepare it ourselves, and we can catch some hares and pheasants in the forest."

Hares and pheasants in the forest?

Mizuki subconsciously remembered that when she was young, she also went to a picnic with her classmates, and she had also said that she wanted to catch wild animals to eat.

In the end, everyone went home hungry.

"Is it really possible?" Mizuki asked worriedly.

After all, she also had personal experience in this regard.

"Don't worry, Mom."

"Well, then you should pay attention to safety and don't go to those dangerous places."

Seeing her son's insistence, Mizuki didn't say anything more, she just reminded her son to be careful.

After all, even in the village, some places are actually not safe.

"Mom, I'm going out to practice."

"Be careful on the road!"

Mizuki turned around and shouted.

The place of training was still No. 4 training ground, the same place as yesterday.

Ryosuke first created five Shadow Clones and let them practice on their own.

Then he walked in front of a tree, and continued the hellish training.

When people are doing something seriously, they always feel like time passes quickly.

Before he knew it, it was noon again.

Ryosuke temporarily stopped exercising. He took a bath in the river and changed into the coat he had taken off earlier.

Then, he left the No. 4 training ground.

"What should I have for lunch today?"

"How about eating Ichiraku ramen again?"

"Maybe I will meet other well-known ninjas in the village there."

Ryosuke was thinking about what to eat for lunch while walking.

At this time, the sunlight in front was suddenly blocked by something.

Ryosuke looked up and found that Kurenai, whom he met a few days ago, was standing in front of him and looking at him.

"Little brother, we meet again."

Kurenai smiled and said to Ryosuke.

"It's Sister Kurenai." Ryosuke yelled sweetly.

"Did Sister Kurenai just come back from grocery shopping?"

Ryosuke noticed that Kurenai was carrying a lot of bags in her hand, which contained some vegetables and meat.

Obviously, she had just come back from the market.

"Yes, there will be guests at home at noon, so I've to prepare more food."

Noon?

Ryosuke looked at the sun that was already hanging in the center of the sky.

It's already noon, isn't it?

She just bought the materials and is going back to cook now, isn't it a bit late?

Kurenai seemed to see what Ryosuke was thinking.

She stuck out her tongue, and said cutely, "I accidentally got the time wrong, so I'm a bit late."

"But fortunately, I am very familiar with them, so there are not so many rules."

"How about you, Ryosuke? Are you going home for dinner?" Kurenai asked.

Ryosuke shook his head.

"I won't go home for lunch."

"Then you must not have eaten yet, right?"

Kurenai smiled and stretched out her hand, shaking the bag in her hand and said, "Then Ryosuke, would you like to help sister carry the bags? Sister can treat you to dinner."
