Nine-Tails Fat as a Pig
Final.
Jiraiya left, looking utterly dejected. His departing figure was so bleak and lost, as if he had suffered a devastating blow.
In the living room, only Hinata and Hanabi remained, blinking their big eyes and staring at Naruto on the sofa.
Quite a while.
Naruto slowly opened his eyes, and the icy chill gradually dissipated as he opened them, leaving only a glimmer of Tomoe pattern in the depths of his eyes.
"Brother-in-law, have you finished your training? Did you gain a lot?" Hanabi stared at Naruto, her curiosity about Naruto abilities growing, especially his Kekkei Genkai, which made her feel apprehensive.
"Hmm, not bad." Naruto nodded, but his gaze was fixed on Hinata.
"Hinata, you should train as much as possible in the future. You can learn the Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm, the Rotation, and even Ninjutsu."
"Okay, sure." Hinata nodded obediently.
She could feel her physique improving dramatically, and even her talent had made a qualitative leap. With this improvement, practicing Gentle Fist was very easy.
However, she only possesses fire and lightning attributes, so if she were to practice Ninjutsu, she could only practice two types. Therefore, she hesitated and wanted to say something, but at that moment, a Chakra Paper was handed to her.
"Huh?"
Hinata stared blankly at Naruto, not understanding why he was giving her Chakra Paper. She had already tested her Chakra attributes before.
"You'll understand once you inject Chakra; that bloodline is no ordinary thing," Naruto said meaningfully.
"Okay."
Hinata seemed to understand something and quickly began injecting Chakra into the Chakra Paper as Naruto instructed.
In a very short time, the Chakra Paper showed significant changes.
Originally, she only had lightning and fire attributes, but now she had gained several new attributes, a change that made her eyes widen in astonishment.
"I... I actually gained so many attributes? Naruto, thank you, thank you so much."
Hinata understood the help that bloodline had given her, and gratefully grabbed Naruto's clothes, wishing she could give him a hug.
However, with Hanabi watching nearby, Hinata felt embarrassed to do so and could only look at Naruto quietly with her beautiful eyes, her little face full of gratitude.
"No need to thank me, you're mine anyway, don't even think about running away in this lifetime." Naruto took the initiative to put his arm around Hinata, smiling as he embraced her slender body.
"Um."
Hinata's face was flushed, and she was so shy she wanted to faint, but she still bravely looked at Naruto and let Naruto hold her.
Opposite.
Hanabi watched this scene, blinking her big eyes, feeling like she was being showered with dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
She pouted and turned to walk towards the kitchen, but her mind was still on the Bloodline Orb.
She wanted such good food too, but Naruto wouldn't give it to her, which left her feeling helpless. But when she got to the kitchen and saw all the delicious food, she quickly came up with a solution.
"Hmph, if you don't give me the Bloodline Orb, I won't leave. I'll stay at your house Tenten and eat you out of house and home."
Hanabi quickly came up with a solution and was quite satisfied with it, even humming a song in her delight.
In the living room.
Naruto put his arm around Hinata and said something, instructing her to train in all aspects of her abilities according to his requirements, and even offering suggestions on her future Ninjutsu learning and Kekkei Genkai.
Hinata nodded her head obediently, like a chick pecking at rice, listening attentively to Naruto's words.
In spiritual practice, only you truly know your own path and should not follow the opinions of others.
However, Hinata didn't have such thoughts at all. She listened to Naruto the whole time without even a word of questioning him, which clearly showed that she valued Naruto's words very much.
You know what?
With Naruto's help, Hinata's progress in the days that followed was rapid.
In just one month, Hinata easily learned the Eight Trigrams Palm and the Rotation, and even mastered several other Ninjutsu, including the Shadow Clone Technique.
Such rapid progress stunned Hanabi, leaving her speechless.
This day.
The rooftop of the villa.
Naruto sat on a recliner, quietly resting on the rooftop. Occasionally, his eyes, adorned with Tomoe, would glance at the sky while checking his accumulated Experience Points. He hesitated, wondering whether he should Upgrade System now.
But at that moment, Hanabi came running up, swaying her little waist.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you're here! Come and eat some oranges, your favorite oranges!" Hanabi mischievously handed over the fruit plate, blinking her big eyes at Naruto.
[Experience Points +3]
Naruto didn't stand on ceremony, picked up an orange and began to eat it, while asking, "When is Hinata coming back?"
"I should be back soon. After saying goodbye to Kurenai- sensei, my sister officially quit being a ninja, just as you wished, brother-in-law," Hanabi explained obediently.
"Um."
Naruto nodded upon hearing this. It was his suggestion that Hinata not do ninja work, because it was enough for Hinata to stay by his side; there was no need for her to go on missions for Konoha.
"Brother-in-law, what kind of pets are the little fox and the Blackie in the pet room on the second floor? Why don't we let them go downstairs?" Hanabi asked curiously.
"They are homeless pets, too naughty, and not suitable for the first floor."
Naruto gave a perfunctory reply, saying that Nine-Tails and Samehada were too conspicuous and not suitable for too many people to know about, so Naruto didn't let them go downstairs.
"Is that so? There's something strange about them; I have a feeling they're not simple."
Hanabi's quirky questions showed she was clearly smarter than Hinata and not easily fooled; the little girl was even planning to go back and ask her father.
"Alright, stop bothering me. Go clean up." Naruto started to shoo him away.
"Blackie and Little Fox are cleaning now. They're wiping the table and have already tidied up the house on the second floor. It's a pity Little Fox is too picky about food; he won't eat anything."
"It only eats the Energy Chocolate you take out, and it absolutely loves it. Yesterday, it secretly stole the chocolate I had hidden, and I was so angry that I pulled its whiskers."
Hanabi pouted as she spoke, curious about the Energy Chocolate Naruto had taken out, and even more curious about what breeds Blackie and the fox were.
Little did she know that Samehada and Nine-Tails were truly terrifying beings. If she knew that she had plucked two of Nine-Tails's whiskers, Hanabi would probably turn pale with fright.
"You can only eat one Energy Chocolate a month, otherwise don't blame me if you get fat. Didn't you see how fat the fox got?" Naruto said, and with a flash of his right hand, several Energy Chocolate appeared in his palm.
This is a mysterious candy won in a lottery. Besides its delicious taste, it also contains a lot of energy and is a delicacy that any living being can eat, even Tailed Beast.
The only downside is...
Chocolate contains too much energy and can easily lead to weight gain.
That day, Naruto kicked a piece of Energy Chocolate that had fallen on the ground out of the villa. It was eaten by a passing white dog, who then became as fat as a pig.
Even though Naruto has tons of this chocolate, if Nine-Tails continues to eat it like this, it will become as fat as a pig.
Whoosh!
A whooshing sound suddenly came, and a chubby red figure appeared abruptly, standing beside them with unimaginable speed, looking longingly at the Energy Chocolate.
This figure was none other than a miniature version of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, except that it was already quite round, almost like a chubby little pig that had eaten too much. If it continued to eat, it would really turn into a pig.
At this moment, its eyes were fixed longingly on Naruto's palm, on those few pieces of Energy Chocolate, staring at them like a dog with a greedy look, almost drooling.
"The little fox ran up here; this guy loves Energy Chocolate so much!"
Hanabi saw the little fox and wanted to pick it up, but it was too fat. Hanabi looked at its size and gave up.
"You're getting fatter and fatter, are you sure you want to eat?" Naruto looked at Nine-Tails.
He wasn't stingy with the Chocolat, even though it was basically useless to him. He had several tons of it, and yesterday he even won another ton in a random lottery draw, leaving him with not enough space.
Seeing how much the little fox wanted to eat, and remembering Nine-Tails Kurama had worked doing housework for the past month, Naruto couldn't bear to stop it, so he tossed it the food.
Whoosh!
Nine-Tails devoured the Energy Chocolate in one bite, then squinted and lay down next to Naruto, closing his eyes contentedly, though he had gotten a little fatter.
In response to this...
Naruto shook his head speechlessly, then ignored it and brought up the Data Panel, thinking about whether he should Upgrade System now to accumulate more Experience Points, which seemed better.
However, if the ways to gain Experience Points increase after leveling up, wouldn't hesitating now be a waste of time? So Naruto took a deep breath and made his choice.
On the other side.
Training Ground Three
Kurenai glared angrily at Hinata, her anger rising for the first time, looking at Hinata with disappointment and frustration.
