Kawaki lowered his head and said nothing.
Kiyomi looked at him, feeling a little uncomfortable.
She knows what Kawaki is thinking.
He was worried about Wei.
"Kawaki." Kiyomi said suddenly.
Kawaki raised his head and looked at her.
"Let's train together tomorrow." Kiyomi said.
Kawaki was stunned.
"Train together?"
"Yes." Kiyomi nodded, "Teacher Sasuke is teaching me Lightning Release. You can also learn together."
"I don't know Lightning Release." Kawaki said.
"Then learn it." Kiyomi said, "Anyway, it's not bad to learn one more ninjutsu."
Kawaki looked at her, the emotions in his eyes slowly changing.
"Okay." Kawaki said.
Kiyomi smiled.
"Then it's settled."
Boruto and Chocho looked at each other and both smiled.
They continued to eat barbecue and chat.
The atmosphere gradually became more relaxed.
After eating the barbecue, the four of us walked home together.
When we reached the fork in the road, Kawaki suddenly stopped.
"Thank you." Kawaki said.
"Thank you for what?" Boruto was stunned.
"Thank you for always treating me as a friend." Kawaki said.
"Isn't this natural?" Boruto said, "We are friends."
Kawaki smiled.
This is the first time Kiyomi has seen Kawaki smile.
Although the smile was faint, it was indeed a smile.
"Then I'll leave first." Kawaki turned and left.
Kiyomi looked at his back, feeling a little sour in his heart.
Kawaki has been enduring so much, but never said anything.
"I must help him." Kiyomi clenched his fists.
Six o'clock the next morning.
Kiyomi arrived at Training Ground on time.
Kawaki is already waiting there.
"You came quite early." Kiyomi said.
"Yeah." Kawaki nodded.
The two waited for a while, and Sasuke also came.
"Kawaki?" Sasuke was stunned for a moment when he saw Kawaki, "Why are you here?"
"Kiyomi asked me to train together." Kawaki said.
Sasuke glanced at Kiyomi.
"Yes." Sasuke said, "But the training will be very hard."
"I know." Kawaki said.
"Then let's start." Sasuke said, "Run a hundred laps first."
Kiyomi and Kawaki start running.
Kiyomi has become accustomed to this kind of training intensity, so running is not too strenuous.
But this was the first time for Kawaki, and he started to pant after the twentieth lap.
"Can't keep up?" Kiyomi ran next to him.
"It's okay." Kawaki gritted his teeth and continued running.
Kiyomi looked at him and said nothing.
She knows Kawaki's character, and the more painful she is, the less willing she is to speak out.
After running one hundred laps, Kawaki collapsed directly on the ground.
"Rest for five minutes." Sasuke said.
Kawaki lay on the ground, gasping for air.
"How's it going?" Kiyomi squatted next to him.
"I'm more tired than I thought." Kawaki said.
"You just get used to it." Kiyomi said, "The first time I ran, I collapsed after the fiftieth lap."
Kawaki looked at her.
"You are better than me."
"No way." Kiyomi waved his hand, "It's just that we trained earlier."
Five minutes passed quickly.
"Get up." Sasuke said, "The next step is Taijutsu training."
Kiyomi and Kawaki stand up.
"You two attack me together." Sasuke said.
"Together?" Kiyomi was stunned.
"Yes." Sasuke said, "Let's see how you cooperate."
Kiyomi and Kawaki looked at each other.
"Then come on." Kiyomi said.
The two of them rushed towards Sasuke at the same time.
Kiyomi attacks from the front, Kawaki flanks it from the side.
But Sasuke easily dodged it.
And he hit Kiyomi on the back with a backhand palm.
Kiyomi flew out and fell to the ground.
Kawaki took the opportunity to attack Sasuke's bottom plate.
But Sasuke jumped up and kicked Kawaki on the shoulder.
Kawaki also flew out.
"The cooperation is too poor." Sasuke said, "Come again."
Kiyomi and Kawaki got up and rushed forward again.
This time they changed their tactics.
Kiyomi used long-range attacks to contain Sasuke, and Kawaki took the opportunity to get close.
But it was still easily resolved by Sasuke.
An hour later, both of them fell to the ground unable to move.
"That's it for today's Taijutsu training." Sasuke said, "Next is Lightning Release's training."
Kiyomi struggled to stand up.
Kawaki also stood up, but his legs were still shaking.
"Kawaki, what are your Chakra attributes?" Sasuke asked.
"Fire and wind." Kawaki said.
"Fire and wind?" Sasuke frowned, "Then you can't learn Lightning Release."
"Can't learn?" Kawaki was stunned.
"Lightning Release needs Lightning Release Chakra." Sasuke said, "You don't have the thunder attribute, so you can't learn it."
Kawaki lowered his head.
"Then what should I study?"
"Wind Release." Sasuke said, "I can teach you some Wind Release Ninjutsu."
"Wind Release?"
"Yes." Sasuke said, "Although I'm not good at Wind Release, I can still do the basics."
Kawaki nodded.
"Then I'll trouble you."
Sasuke starts teaching Kawaki the basics of Wind Release.
Kiyomi continues to practice Chidori.
She concentrated on Lightning Release Chakra and tried again and again.
Finally, the ball of light she condensed was larger than yesterday.
"Not bad." Sasuke looked at her, "I'm making rapid progress."
"Thank you." Kiyomi wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"But it's not enough." Sasuke said, "Chidori needs at least three times the amount of Chakra."
Kiyomi gritted his teeth.
"I will continue to work hard."
Training lasted until noon.
After the end, Kiyomi and Kawaki left Training Ground together.
"Are you okay?" Kiyomi looked at Kawaki.
Kawaki's face is very pale and his walking is a little unsteady.
"It's okay." Kawaki said.
"Would you like to go to the hospital?"
"No need." Kawaki shook his head, "I'm just tired, just take a rest."
Kiyomi looked at him, but in the end he didn't insist.
"Then you have a good rest." Kiyomi said, "We will continue tomorrow."
"Yeah." Kawaki nodded.
After the two separated, Kiyomi walked home.
Halfway there, she suddenly felt someone was following her.
She stopped and turned around.
"Who?"
No response.
But Kiyomi is sure someone is following her.
She pretended not to notice anything and continued walking forward.
When she reached a small alley, she suddenly turned around and rushed into the alley.
Sure enough, a dark shadow followed in.
"Finally showed up." Kiyomi took out the kunai.
The dark figure took off his mask.
She is a young woman with silver hair.
"Who are you?" Kiyomi asked.
"My name is Tina." the woman said, "A member of Kara Organization."
"Kara Organization?" Kiyomi held the kunai tightly, "What do you want to do again?"
"Don't be nervous." Tina waved his hand, "I'm not here to fight."
"Then what are you here for?"
"Let me give you some information." Tina said.
"Information?"
"About Kawaki." Tina said, "His wedge is about to fully awaken."
Kiyomi's face changed.
"What did you say?"
"His wedge is already 70% awakened." Tina said, "In another month at most, it will be fully awakened."
"Impossible." Kiyomi said, "Kawaki has been suppressing the wedge."
"Suppression?" Tina smiled, "Do you think suppression is useful? Wedge's awakening is irreversible, and suppression only delays time."
Kiyomi gritted his teeth.
"What should we do?"
