Parting, May You Become a Hope Flower That Never Withers

"Master, please let me go. I was wrong to offend you before, sob sob sob." The Hydrangea completely broke down, numb. This person is a pervert.

She now deeply regrets it; damn it, how could she have believed this man's lies?

I'll definitely never have to go to jail again. Staying here would have been worse than being in jail. Pain! It hurts so much, and yet every injury I get heals instantly.

"I'm not that petty. Stand up." Naruto kicked the Kusanagi Sword in front of the Hydrangea. "Practice for another half hour, and you'll be free."

"Really?" she asked through gritted teeth.

If it's only half an hour, she can just hold on and drag it out. She had roughly calculated that the flow of time here was normal.

Every second she lay on the ground meant one less second of training time. However, she didn't dare risk her life; dying would be a serious problem.

Otherwise, she would definitely use death to buy time.

In fact, Hydrangea do not die within the Evil God Altar. Even if pierced through the heart, they can instantly revive without leaving any scars.

Because this is Evil God Altar, not comparable to the protection of Hidan's Taint Evil God.

The reason I didn't go all out was twofold: first, it wasn't necessary—training a tool is not about torturing it; second, it really hurt, and could easily cause psychological trauma.

"Really," Naruto nodded and said.

Half an hour later.

Hydrangea collapsed to the ground, her wounds slowly fading. She couldn't remember how much blood she had lost, but her body had certainly been worn out by the combat training.

Even more incredible is that every time her wound heals, her Chakra level is instantly restored to full. Her faith in the Evil God wasn't that strong until Naruto severed her hand with a single strike.

At that moment, she felt her faith level had reached its peak, and she almost wanted to kneel down and kowtow to the Lord Jashin. Fortunately, the Evil God did not abandon her, and she was healed in an instant.

But the cruelest part ended there; nothing more terrible happened.

With a snap, Naruto snapped his fingers, pulling her out of the Sealing Space. Hydrangea opened her eyes; it was the familiar living room again.

Her eyes widened suddenly, as if she hadn't breathed at all, and she arched her body, gasping for air. A few seconds later, she lay back heavily on the sofa.

"Let's continue tomorrow," Naruto's voice rang out.

With a click, the door slammed shut. Startled, Hydrangea clamped her legs together and sat bolt upright, her mind buzzing.

This isn't the human world, it's hell!

After a moment of sadness, realizing that this is just how life is, the Hydrangea fell asleep instantly.

The next day.

On the top floor of the High Tower in the Land of Rain, Naruto yawned as he transferred Chakra to Nagato. He had also stayed up until midnight last night to help Hydrangea grow stronger quickly.

Accompanying someone throughout the entire process is also exhausting, to the point that I struggle to get out of bed in the morning.

He thought to himself that things couldn't go on like this, and he still had to find a sparring partner for Hydrangea and throw them into the Sealing Space Evil God Altar together.

Having estimated that he had given away another tenth of his Chakra, Naruto stopped, yawning, his face full of exhaustion.

Nagato was also somewhat moved. He looked up at Naruto and spoke.

"This is too harmful to your body, let's stop here."

"No need, I'm perfectly fine." Naruto waved his hand, yawned, and left. "I have something to do, so I'll be going now."

After Naruto left, Konan happened to return. She folded her paper wings by the rooftop window, took a few steps, and landed. The playing card she threw out was stained with blood, suggesting she had gone out to chop wood again.

"What's wrong?" Konan asked, noticing Nagato's worried expression.

"Naruto looks very tired after transferring Chakra to me. If he keeps pushing himself like this, he won't be able to hold on," Nagato said, frowning.

"We can't let him continue doing this, otherwise..."

Hydrangea House.

"Get up and get ready for training, hurry up," Naruto said.

"I won't get up! Just kill me, whatever you want." Hydrangea refused to get up no matter what, and curled up on the sofa, covered by the blanket.

"Why would I kill you?" Naruto laughed in anger. "I'm helping you grow, and I'm not asking for your opinion right now."

With a snap, he snapped his fingers.

Evil God Altar!

With a clang, the Kusanagi Sword Hydrangea blankly at the sword at her feet, then knelt down and spoke to Naruto.

"Master, please, I won't resist. Please, send me back to jail!! Waaah, I really know I was wrong."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think I'm that kind of person?" Naruto said seriously, throwing away his sword and pulling out his Flying Thunder God Kunai.

"Fine, I'll lower the difficulty for you. You can use the divine weapon Kusanagi Sword, and I'll just use this ordinary kunai."

I don't want to fight! You damn bastard, die!

Hydrangea was practically screaming inside, but her expression remained numb. Looking at the black kunai in Naruto's hand, she thought for a moment, then nodded.

The Kusanagi Sword is indeed incredibly sharp; to deal with kunai, just be careful not to get too close.

With a ding, Naruto's figure disappeared.

"Where is he?" Hydrangea was stunned for a moment, and involuntarily gripped the sword in her hand tighter.

"Behind you." Naruto patted Hydrangea on the shoulder, and the latter suddenly turned around and slashed, but missed.

For the next hour, Hydrangea suffered inhuman torture. She finally remembered the legend that had circulated on the battlefield twenty years ago: the Yellow Flash.

With a thud, Hydrangea's gaze glazed over. The lost blood returned to her body, the wound on her neck healed, Chakra to full blue.

"Congratulations, you lasted a full hour." He put away his kunai, a faint smile on his face.

"No... no, it wasn't you... who insisted on torturing me for an hour?" Hydrangea was almost too weak to speak, but she still desperately tried to refute.

"You're wrong, this isn't torture." Naruto walked up to her, knelt down, and said seriously, "Hydrangea, do you have a dream?"

"Dream, dream?"

"Yes, what kind of person do you want to become? Do you choose to be a Mui Genin, get married, have children, and grow old, or do you choose to become a powerful ninja like an angel?"

"Angel?" Hydrangea's unfocused pupils gradually sharpened as she recalled her dream of becoming a female ninja like the Angel.

She even specially learned the Paper Ninjutsu, which had little power, just so she could get closer to the person of her dreams and become a powerful and beautiful ninja!

I want to become...

"Very good! Hydrangea." Naruto grasped her hand. "You have a great talent for summoning Ninjutsu, which has already been shown in training."

"Keep it up! A good summoning ninja should be even stronger than Summoning Beast."

One day later.

Hydrangea felt like she was about to be ruined. She couldn't remember how many times her throat had been slit or her heart pierced. Even the initial fearful cuts were now considered minor injuries.

Unless it's a fatal wound, she might even launch a final counterattack.

The training was brutal, but the results were remarkable. At least in a single day, Hydrangea progressed rapidly; given more time, she would grow to a terrifying level.

He accompanied Hydrangea during her training sessions and had to do extra training at night. It wasn't just Hydrangea who was suffering; Naruto was also having a hard time, not so much from exhaustion, but mainly from not being able to sleep well.

The next day, Naruto got up early again, even though he was very sleepy.

It's nothing more than habit.

He washed up and went out as usual. Before leaving, he found a bag of fresh tomatoes in the kitchen. After stuffing a few into his pocket, he hurriedly left.

After systematically transferring one-tenth of his Chakra, Naruto looked even more tired than yesterday, as if all his energy had been drained.

Konan looked worried, and Nagato also had a furrowed brow.

If Jiraiya asks about this and finds his junior brother acting like he's overindulging in excessive sexual activity, how would he explain it? Could it have damaged his physical constitution?

Konan looked at Nagato, Nagato also didn't know what to say.

Suddenly, a loud bang came from the stairwell, followed by Naruto's violent coughing. He coughed desperately, as if he didn't want to breathe anymore.

Konan and Nagato sensed something was wrong and rushed over, only to see Naruto leaning against a wall, coughing up blood.

"Cough cough cough!!! Damn it, I can even choke on a tomato."

Konan wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Nagato with a serious expression. He shook his head and said...

"I already advised him yesterday. He's the kind of person who likes to show off, so there's no point in talking to him now. Why don't we send him away tomorrow?"

The next day.

Naruto, with dark circles under his eyes from staying up all night, stood there stunned, looking at Nagato and Konan, and asked.

What does "enough" mean?

"My body is really fine! I can't speak for anything else, Chakra level is definitely effective. Cough cough!!! Sorry, I choked on my saliva."

Konan and Nagato looked incredulous and absolutely refused to let Naruto replenish Nagato's Chakra.

"I appreciate your kindness, Naruto, but you really can't push yourself any further," Nagato said in a hoarse voice. "I already have enough Chakra."

Upon hearing this, Naruto wanted to say something more, but Konan interrupted him with a look.

He sighed and gave up.

"Alright."

Seeing his slumped shoulders and resigned demeanor, Konan was slightly moved. He truly was a disciple who had inherited Jiraiya's peaceful will.

Even though he was wicked and despicable, his soul remained a burning light. It was the last ray of light they encountered after enduring countless hardships and darkness.

"This is for you." Konan handed Naruto a bouquet of Paper Flower.

"Didn't we send it before?" Naruto, somewhat surprised.

"Hmm?" Konan shook her head. "Last time it was a flower of gratitude, this time it's a flower of hope for parting."

She raised her head, a genuine smile appearing on her face, like Nikko breaking through the clouds after a storm.

"May you become an everlasting flower of hope."

No delays, stayed up all night updating, going to sleep now. The chapter I took leave to write the day before yesterday is now complete.

I'll continue updating tomorrow after I wake up. You can tell I have an outline, right? The million-word plot is definitely on track. There are many female leads, but it's not chaotic. The ambiguity is just to portray the characters and the plot. The plot will be gradually unlocked. Ino will appear soon. There's no such thing as a plot hole that will end before the story concludes.

Please give me your support.
