Blood research

"You've been playing around with this messy stuff a lot lately. How's your training going? You've been pretty lazy in your training recently."

Looking around the house, Ruri's tone sounded dissatisfied.

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

"It's just a personal interest. I like researching more than practicing."

With that, Shiraishi took a small bag from the table and threw it to Ruri.

After Ruri took it, she frowned.

"What have inside?"

"That's good, it's my special pill. The efficiency of restoring chakra and physical strength is a little better than on the market, it's easy to digest and it doesn't put a strain on the human digestive system."

Pills have the effect of restoring stamina and chakra and have always been an essential food that all ninjas often consume when performing outdoor tasks.

However, it is full of bitter and unpleasant vegetable taste, when it is not the last resort, many people are not willing to take grain pills to solve the problem of insufficient physical strength and Chakra.

Along with the fact that it is not easy to digest, overeating can easily cause indigestion in the human body.

"to brag".

Ruri huffed but still put the bag full of special grain pills into the ninja bag strapped to her leg.

"What do you plan on doing with these pills?"

"Because you can't wait to graduate from Ninja School, that's all you need."

Shiraishi said with a penetrating expression.

Ruri looked at Baishi but didn't speak.

Shiraishi paused and continued to ask, "By the way, when are you going to graduate?"

Ruri replied, "Although your guess is very reasonable, it's a shame you got it wrong this time."

"Did I guess wrong?"

Ruri said with a slight smile on her face, "Yes, I would very much like to graduate from school early, but the elders in the family are not happy for me to do so. The frontline battle is very chaotic and the rate of mortality is very high."

Baishi understood and nodded, "Genius protection, just graduate with the flow. There's no need to finish school early. This is a natural result."

After finishing school, it means saying goodbye to the easy days.

Graduation normally requires six years of study at the Ninja School.

But now Baishi and Ruri are just third-year students and they still have a few years to consolidate and grow before graduation.

It is not excluded that there are geniuses in the Ninja School who think they are great and want to graduate early, so they are organized to go to the frontline battlefield.

Shiraishi believes that Konoha's upper class should establish a rule that children under the age of ten cannot graduate from ninja school early during the war...

During the Warring States Period, children as young as four or five used to go to the battlefield.

Although the situation in Ninja World is a little better now, it is still common for children under the age of ten to take to the battlefield.

They are already skilled ninjas who graduated from ninja school and cannot be treated like children.

But this way, their values ​​will have some problems and they will easily embark on a radical path.

"Ruri, will the eldest in your family want you to graduate with the strength of jōnin?"

Shiraishi suddenly realized something.

Eight-year-old Ruri already possessed the strength of chūnin, and within a few years, if he continued his hard work, he might be able to possess the strength of a superior ninja.

Sure, combat experience may be lacking, but ninjutsu and basic skills are not lacking.

Ruri received elite education from the Uchiha clan from an early age.

At the starting line, she was already ahead of the civilian ninja.

After graduation, the experience can slowly build-up, but the lower strength threshold is very important for beginner ninjas.

One more force on the battlefield, one more chance for survival.

Ruri rolled her eyes at him when she heard Baishi say that.

Does this guy think jōnin level is easy to reach?

The difference between jōnin and chūnin is even bigger than the difference between genin and chūnin

Jōnin is all excellent ninjas in a certain field or multiple fields.

Despite Ruri being arrogant, she didn't dare say that in the next few years she could improve in a certain area to the point of becoming a jōnin.

We talked a little at Shiraishi's house and waited until 6 pm, the two went to a cafeteria to eat ramen together to solve the dinner problem, then they said goodbye and left.

"Sorry, something happened to me all of a sudden, I'm a little late."

In the dense forest on the hill behind the school, it was already dark by now.

It was Ayane who agreed to meet Shiraishi here.

Two years later, she also changed from first to third year, a little taller than before.

Ayane, hands clasped behind her back, slowly turned around when she heard the sound coming from behind her.

She is wearing white clothes with the Hyuuga clan family crest. Her lower body is dark blue pants. The straight black hair is kept around the waist. There are no impurities in her white pupils and the smile on her face gives people a kind of innocent and beautiful feeling.

"It doesn't matter, I didn't wait long. But Shiraishi-Kun was a little late because of Ruri. Sometimes I envy her."

Although the Uchiha clan is responsible for Konoha's security team, her work style has always been forceful and forceful, which will give people a sense of arrogance and dominance. Also, their excessive respect for force has caused their clan to offend many ninjas and civilians, but at least this family is not as cruel and cold-blooded as the Hyuuga clan, who treat their people like slaves.

For this reason, Ayane, who is also a wealthy family, is very jealous of Ruri's personality and free life.

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

"Yeah, you got it right again."

Shiraishi scratched her head lightly in distress.

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

Ayan smiled. Although she hadn't touched Shiraishi on the surface since the incident, she secretly knew all about Shiraishi.

For example, her hidden strength has reached the level of Chūnin.

He had a very close relationship with the genius Ruri Uchiha.

Also secretly carrying out some experiments of unknown purpose.

The feeling of belonging to the village is almost nil and, fortunately, soon he will leave the village and become a traitor.

And these things, as the exchange between the two deepened, Shiraishi didn't hide his plans from Ayane.

Shiraishi believes that as teammates both should show confidence.

At least part of their plan and purpose must be revealed to Ayane so that she can feel at ease.

"Yea". Shiraishi felt that the time for private contact was limited and he couldn't get too involved in this sort of thing. He got straight to the point and said, "There's nothing wrong with you, right?"

"No, after all, I'm just an insignificant member of the division. The family doesn't spend a lot of energy on people like me."

It was originally a self-deprecating remark, but when it came out of Ayane's mouth, it became very flat.

Two years later, she naturally managed to contain some of her floating anger.

However, there is still a trace of sadness and sigh hidden in her pure white pupils.

With that, Ayane took a small package from her ninja bag, wrapped it in a cloth ribbon, and placed it in Shiraishi's hands.

"Thank you very much."

Shiraishi took the package and said softly.

"That's what I'm supposed to do, but if you just study the blood, will that be enough?"

Ayane asked this question.

As the experiments become more and more regular, Shiraishi has already started to carry out heavier experiments.

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

All are precious materials that Ayane has carefully collected.

Because Ayane and Shiraishi understand one thing, if they leave Konoha in the future, they must unlock the bird in the cage and let Ayane return to freedom.

Otherwise, once Ayane's rebel status is confirmed, the clan members will use a spell to kill Ayane on the spot.

What Shiraishi wants to do is find a way to unlock the seal.

Allowing Ayane to regain her freedom.

Ayane's hidden concerns can be seen. After all, this is a matter of life and death. Shiraishi understands Ayane's nervous and restless state of mind.

"Blood is just one of the conditions to start with, but it is something that must be used. Unlocking the curse of the bird in the cage will not be easy.

Shiraishi only intends to use the blood collected by Ayane to make some comparisons to get more accurate data and find a very small cut.

If only by studying blood one can obtain the secrets of the Hyuuga clan, it wouldn't be one of the greatest clans in Konoha.

"Also, we can't get more material right now, we can only hope it will come slowly in the future."

When Shiraishi said that,

Collecting that blood has already made her give her best. As for the complete human body material, she knows she's going to fail and possibly get arrested.

"It's almost time. Let's part ways here. Stay longer, maybe someone will notice."

Shiraishi was worried that news of his secret contact with Ayane would be revealed so that not only Ayane but also himself would be thoroughly searched.

No doubt it will be problematic if things turn out this way.
