"Good timing!"
Upon seeing this, Hagoromo immediately used his breathing technique to cover his entire body with Chakra, forming a flowing shield, and then turned around.
The shockwave that Naruto emitted was dissipated and interrupted by Hagoromo when it was within half a meter of Hagoromo.
Call--
A sudden gust of wind swept across the training ground, instantly filling the air with sand and dust.
On the field, Hagoromo smiled.
Just now, the rewards on the panel arrived.
[Disciple Naruto Uzumaki diligently trained and successfully mastered the Eight Gates of Entry Inch Power Eight Gates, increasing his strength. Rewards: 1500 Chakra, Yang Release Chakra Body progress increased by 10%.]
With the increase in Chakra, even the Yang Release Chakra Body that had been constantly being refined also accelerated its progress.
Everything is moving in a positive direction.
"Teacher~"
Naruto's weak voice came from behind. Hagoromo was startled for a moment, then came to Naruto's side.
He helped Naruto up, used his Chakra to examine Naruto's body, and then let out a sigh of relief.
"Teacher, is Naruto alright?"
Shikamaru asked with concern, after all, this was the first time they had ever seen Naruto in such a state.
Hagoromo shook her head, then carried Naruto to the bottom of a large tree and lay down with Hinata.
He then said, "This is the first time I've entered a 'Seamless State,' and I didn't control it well. My cells are overloaded. I just need a rest."
Hearing Hagoromo say that, Shikamaru and the others were relieved.
Hagoromo patted Naruto helplessly and said irritably, "I told you to use your Inch Force, not your full strength."
"Hehe, I forgot for a moment."
Naruto, lying on the ground with his eyes closed, said somewhat embarrassedly.
"Alright, get some rest first."
Hagoromo had no choice but to stand up and say this.
"Go and cultivate on your own. Your teacher will keep an eye on them from here."
After giving instructions to his other disciples, Hagoromo turned around and sat down under another tree.
As for Hinata, she probably woke up a while ago.
Just as Hagoromo placed Naruto next to her, Naruto's hand accidentally landed directly on Hinata's hand.
Now I'm afraid I won't even dare to open my eyes.
That's good, though, Hinata has been busy helping others these past few days.
Let's take a good rest while we're at it.
--
Just as Hagoromo was flipping through the panel, Shikamaru's voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Dad? Uncle Choza? What brings you here?"
Shikamaru, who was training with Choji, was surprised to see Shikaku and Choza standing at the entrance of the training ground.
"Hello, Shikaku -senpai and Choza -senpai."
Having already stood up, Hagoromo went directly to Shikaku and Choza, and said with a smile.
Shikaku withdrew his gaze from his son and the other children training on the field, and turned to Hagoromo with a smile, saying:
"Hagoromo, I'll call you that then. Do you have time to talk to us?"
Hagoromo nodded, offering no objection.
He turned to his disciples on the field and said, "You can continue your cultivation."
Once they reached a tree not far away, Shikaku finally spoke:
"Hagoromo, we received the scroll you asked Shikamaru to give us last time."
Hagoromo was taken aback; he had almost forgotten about this matter himself.
"Yes, does Shikaku- senpai have some doubts?"
"No, to be honest, those scrolls were extremely useful, so much so that our three families don't know how to thank you enough."
Shikaku said with a serious expression.
To be honest, when I first saw the scroll, I was almost speechless.
They almost thought their son had revealed the family's secret techniques to Hagoromo, but they were relieved after learning more about it.
After all, the foundation of a ninja clan lies in the inheritance of secret techniques.
Even with his Shikaku dared not reveal anything about secret techniques.
Besides, he isn't.
"No need, these are just some suggestions I gave based on my observations of Shikamaru and the others' teamwork."
Hagoromo shook her head and said, "After all, the scroll only contains suggestions."
Otherwise, he wouldn't have given it directly to Shikamaru.
"That's true, but I can say this frankly: Hagoromo, you will be an honored guest of our three clans in the future."
"Inoichi couldn't come along because he had an intelligence declassification mission to complete."
Shikaku speaking, he also explained why Ino's father hadn't come along.
"No need, Shikaku. After all, Shikamaru and the others are my students, and it's something I should consider for their sake."
After all, a master is both a teacher and a father.
In terms of inheritance, it means being a successor to the mantle.
"Haha, I told you Shikaku Hagoromo comes to my house often, he's not the type to think about doing something like this."
Choza, standing to the side, laughed heartily and patted Hagoromo's shoulder affectionately.
Hearing this, Shikaku felt helpless. He was just worried about owing someone a huge favor that he wouldn't be able to repay.
As a result, Choza revealed the truth.
Hagoromo suddenly realized why Shikaku had such an attitude.
The original thought was that he would use this kind of thing to demand something from the Ino-Shika-Cho Clans.
"Shikaku, what you've done is unbecoming of Konoha's top strategist."
Hagoromo said with a hint of helplessness.
In the past, he might have had this thought.
However, given my current status, it's really unnecessary.
The friendship Ino-Shika-Cho Clans— is already worth the price of admission.
In addition, after spending time with Shikamaru and the others, he truly cared about these disciples.
I just hope they can escape those fates.
"I apologize for being so abrupt. Come over to my place sometime, let's have a drink together."
Shikaku also burst into laughter, realizing that he had indeed been a bit too cautious.
"Okay, I'll come over when I have time," Hagoromo nodded in response.
Although the Ino-Shika-Cho Clans are not as powerful as the Uchiha and Hyuga, Hagoromo believes they are more worthy of friendship than the two major clans mentioned earlier.
Uchiha Hagoromo intended to have any deeper contact with them.
As for the Hyuga Clan, to be honest, if it weren't for the emergence of three such individuals in the new generation— Neji, Hinata, and Hanabi— who would have made the clan so prosperous, it would have been impossible.
Yu Yi probably avoided this Hagoromo long ago. What kind of good person would be so stupid?
Instead of expanding the family, they restricted their own family members, dividing them into the Main Family and Branch Families.
Honestly, if Hagoromo were reborn into the Hyuga Branch Family...
They were definitely living with the intention of annihilating the entire family; their lives were in someone else's hands.
If I don't get rid of you, you'll really think he's Hashirama Senju reincarnated.
"By Hagoromo way, when are you going to give me the energy storage capsule you mentioned last time, Yu Yi? It's been stuck there lately."
Choza, standing to the side, asked Hagoromo familiarly.
Since the medicinal bath incident, the business of the Akimichi Clan has grown bigger and bigger.
This made Choza very happy, after all, his clan were all big eaters, and the money they earned was basically all fed into their stomachs.
"Okay, I'll get it ready and hand it to you as soon as possible," Hagoromo nodded.
He also had a share in the Akimichi Clan's medicinal bath business; otherwise, he wouldn't have earned his salary Chunin plus a teacher.
That's hardly enough food for Naruto and Choji.
