Arashi rubbed his stomach and leaned back in his chair, looking utterly satisfied. "Ah, that was delicious. I'd heard about Ichiraku Ramen's reputation back in the Land of Whirlpools, and I finally got to fulfill that dream."
Xinyu laughed. "Look at you. Now that we're done eating, let's not keep taking up space. Where are you planning to go?"
"Lord Torifu told me not to focus blindly on studying and that I had to keep up with my strength too, so I'm planning to go take a look at the Trial Tower this afternoon."
Xinyu nodded after hearing that. "I see. The Trial Tower is very popular, you know. Look at this Bracelet of mine—it's a reward I got from inside."
"It can increase the power of Water Release ninjutsu and reduce Chakra consumption. You should try your best to get a good result too."

"So there are that many tricks to it?"

Arashi quickly nodded. "Okay! I understand."

Arashi, meanwhile, headed straight for the Trial Tower.
It was right after lunch, a time when everyone should have been resting, but there was still a long line in front of the Trial
