After becoming a civil servant, Houka began his security guard career, working from seven in the evening to seven in the morning. The Third Hokage's earnest lectures were sprinkled throughout, making life "rich" and "fulfilling."
What pleased Houka most was his progress with the Shadow Clone technique.
After more than half a month of training, he had finally mastered the shape transformation and nature transformation of Chakra.
That evening, Houka got up and began training in the small courtyard.
Chakra gathered in his hand. Through shape transformation and nature transformation, it gradually turned into threads of lightning that crackled and popped, an impressive display. It was just difficult to control, and it didn't make the sound of a thousand birds chirping, either.
Houka thought carefully and remembered that Chidori was a hand-seal technique, requiring the accompanying seals.
"Hmm... What were Chidori's hand seals again? I think they were pretty short..."
Houka racked his brains for a long time but couldn't remember, so he could only use the stupid method and try them one by one.
It was definitely a foolish idea, but fortunately, his Shadow Clones could do the work for him. Otherwise, Houka would have gone crazy.
A quiet month soon passed.
The Chunin tests for Houka, Kakashi, and Uchiha Tenzen finally ended today!
Hatake Sakumo summoned the three of them to the Hokage's office, where they listened to Hiruzen Sarutobi's lecture.
Hiruzen Sarutobi put on quite a show. He took two puffs from his pipe before speaking slowly. "Kakashi, Houka, Uchiha Tenzen, you've been in Anbu for a month now. I've been watching your growth closely this whole time..."
Houka sneered inwardly. MMP! You spent the whole month brainwashing me—no, giving me lessons in loving the village. Who exactly have you been watching?
