Training Plans for Each Disciple Before Departure
Time flies, and before we knew it Four Great Nations Joint Chunin Ninja Exams, were about to begin.
Before leaving the village, Hagoromo gave her disciples one last holiday assessment and training.
After all, the Ninja Academy was already in session during the Chunin Ninja Exams.
In the training ground, the disciples who had finished their assessments stood in front of Hagoromo.
Each person had a distinct mental outlook, and Hagoromo felt quite accomplished.
"Alright, you all did very well in this training assessment."
"Just don't be arrogant, because while you're making progress, your companions are also making progress."
Upon hearing Hagoromo's words, Naruto and the others exchanged glances.
After all, that statement is indeed correct.
They had already realized this during their sparring match; they had both been holding back during their usual training and sparring sessions.
If we had come with the same level of strength, we might have both suffered heavy losses.
Even Sasuke's left eye grew to Mitsudomoe after drinking Hagoromo's potion.
It just hasn't really come to light yet.
During the battle just now, Naruto almost fell victim to a trap.
Hagoromo was also curious, since she hadn't asked before, and this evolution was due to the system's potion.
There were virtually no rewards to speak of.
After all, this was simply to improve Sasuke's bloodline purity; the advancement of his left eye to Mitsudomoe was merely a residue of the drug's power.
Only... the left eye.
I imagine that Sasuke in the future will also have his left eye upgraded to the Six-Tomoe Rinnegan.
Hagoromo couldn't help but wonder, was it fate or the Indra Chakra within Sasuke?
However, unlike Naruto, Sasuke does not have Minato Namikaze's spirit within him that can track him.
For the time being, Hagoromo has no choice but to continue waiting.
We'll try again once the Sealing Jutsu proves effective.
After all, Minato Namikaze was only able to track him down using Sealing Jutsu.
Hagoromo withdrew his gaze and stopped thinking about it. This holiday confrontation was quite effective, and almost every disciple had given him a significant boost.
[Holiday training mission completed.]
[Disciple Naruto Uzumaki, overall rating A+, received a reward of 2500 Chakra increase and 1% increase in Yang Release Chakra]
[Disciple Sasuke Uchiha, Overall Rating A, Reward: Chakra increased by 2000, Yin Release Chakra increased by 2%]
[Disciple Shikamaru Nara, Overall Rating A, Rewards: Chakra Increase of 2000, Shadow Binding Technique Improved Version (Increases Maximum Range)]
[Disciple Choji Akimichi, Overall Rating A, Reward: Chakra Increase of 1800, Chakra Temporary Boost Potion (Harmless Version)]
[Disciple Ino Yamanaka, Overall Rating A, Rewards: Chakra Increase of 1000, Improved Mind Body Switch Technique (Increased Control).]
[Hinata Hyuga, Overall Rating A, Rewards: Chakra Increase of 1800, Byakugan Purification Potion (Purple).]
[Disciple Neji Hyuga, overall rating A+, received a reward of 2100 Chakra increase and Improved Gentle Fist Mental Cultivation Method.]
The dazzling array of rewards pleased Hagoromo quite a bit, especially considering the considerable amount of Chakra they contained.
However, aside from Naruto and Sasuke, the second reward for the other disciples was given to themselves.
This piqued Hagoromo's curiosity. She wondered if it was because she was afraid these people would fall behind the Child of the Prophecy, or something else entirely.
But it's already pretty good.
At least Hagoromo didn't have much research into secret techniques, but he could provide Shikamaru and the others with training opportunities later on.
With a flick of her Hagoromo, Yu Yi released a scroll, which immediately unsealed Hagoromo.
Aside from Naruto and Sasuke, the rewards for this holiday training were given directly to the disciples.
"These are the training programs the teacher has arranged for you to follow up on. Just take a look at them carefully."
"Choji's medicine is a temporary Chakra booster; it has no effect after ingestion, so Teacher is giving you the second stage of Gluttony Form."
"Remember to give the recipe to your father."
Upon Choji quickly opened the scroll in his hand, which read "Butterfly Dance: Gluttony Frenzy".
'In Butterfly Dance Mode, the second stage of enhancement is activated. The butterfly markings on the body turn crimson, and a series of ultra-high-speed punches create shockwaves that cover a fan-shaped area.'
"So strong!"
Choji couldn't help but speak up.
Seeing this, Shikamaru and the others also opened theirs, and the new techniques inside were all quite impressive.
"As for Hinata, drink that potion, and then practice the improved version of Gentle Fist with Neji."
Hagoromo spoke to Hinata.
Yes, teacher!
Hinata opened the bottle without saying a word and drank it down in one gulp.
Hagoromo then turned to look at Sasuke and Naruto, who were filled with envy, and smiled, saying:
"As for the two of you, you'll continue your attribute training, but the teacher might sign Summoning Contract with you when he returns."
Naruto and Sasuke were stunned at first, then overjoyed.
It's no secret that their teacher's summoned beast is Sansan.
Furthermore, Hagoromo had shown Naruto and the others his Sage Mode, except for Naruto and Sasuke, who had relatively more Chakra.
The rest of the team had virtually no chance of signing a contract with Sansan.
"No problem, teacher!" Naruto smiled and opened his mouth, responding loudly.
Sasuke was also very excited, after all, getting the help of a summoning beast was a completely different story.
As for Sansan, she remained lying in place, only raising her eyelids slightly when she heard Hagoromo speak.
Although he has only one body, it is not impossible for him to be distinguished into other individuals.
It's just that the separated parts are not as strong as the original body.
This was something that Sansan and Hagoromo had come up with not long ago, since they were already planning to have Naruto and Sasuke sign it together.
Don't end up not even being able to summon a summoning beast.
"By the way, teacher, how long will this trip take?"
Naruto asked with a curious expression, after all, his teacher was Jonin this time.
Moreover, they were going to other ninja villages, which made Naruto a little scared.
With Hagoromo's narration over this period of time, coupled with Minato Namikaze's teachings, this became a valuable resource.
Even someone as carefree as Naruto knows that the outside Shinobi World is no joke.
When ninjas from different villages meet, they often fight to the death.
"I'm not sure, but it will probably take about two months."
Hagoromo shook her head and said that the matter of the teaching class would be handled by Shadow Clones, while Naruto and the others would be left to Sansan to look after.
"Oh, it's been that long?"
Naruto was a little disappointed; he had thought it would only take a few days, like before.
"That's right, after all, it's the first joint examination of all the major ninja villages, so it's bound to be a bit lively."
Except for Kirigakure, which did not participate, all four other Four Great Nations participated.
Hagoromo estimated that Kirigakure was already facing serious problems on its own.
We don't know the exact time now, but it's possible that the future Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi, will discover that the Fourth Mizukage is being controlled by Genjutsu.
This Kirigakure into chaos.
After all, the Kirigakure had been slow to respond to the Four Great Nations Joint Chunin Ninja Exams.
Even Hiruzen Sarutobi had his doubts.
