The Branch Family Genius: Neji's Resentment
Originally, the Third Hokage had issued a strict order.
Shikaku Nara was about to remind Inoichi Yamanaka that they should go back and seal her memories.
It was Rikuto who controlled the origami crane and stopped them from doing so.
Before parting, Inoichi Yamanaka specifically instructed her again and again not to spread the word.
But he never expected that this girl would completely forget her father's instructions in the blink of an eye.
"So that's how it is!"
A long time--
They were digesting that astonishing information.
Tenten I was filled with amazement, and I felt somewhat dazed.
She looked at Rikuto, her eyes filled with admiration. "Rikuto, you are really amazing!"
The opponent actually possessed the Wood Release of the First Hokage.
Moreover, he could easily summon a forest that covered the entire Training Ground Three, effortlessly defeating the Anbu directly under the Hokage.
It's truly unimaginable.
"It's nothing..."
Rikuto wasn't particularly pleased with himself.
He glanced at the time and said with a smile, "It's almost noon, let's go get some barbecue!"
He really missed the grilled meat from Konoha.
While traveling with Tsunade, Rikuto often sampled barbecue and other delicacies from various regions.
But in terms of taste, if you want the most authentic experience, you have to go to the Akimichi Clan's yakiniku restaurant.
"Good!!"
The two women's eyes lit up.
They nodded happily in unison.
It was a rare opportunity to dine with Rikuto, so they naturally wouldn't refuse.
"Whee..."
The two girls squinted their crescent-shaped eyes.
They held Rikuto's hands, one on each side.
The three of them walked towards the barbecue restaurant.
100% return rate.
Two years have passed.
But the two girls still harbored longing for Rikuto.
However, it only increases day by day, showing no signs of abating.
Even Tenten, who is usually a bit reserved, let go of her inhibitions.
Following Ino, she grabbed Rikuto's arm.
At first, her pretty face blushed slightly.
But she quickly relaxed.
The Rikuto naturally enjoyed it. (bccf)
When taking Tenten and Ino out.
I glanced at a few inconspicuous corners, intentionally or unintentionally.
But I didn't pay any attention to it.
"You're pretty quick!"
Less than half an hour.
Inside the Akimichi Clan's barbecue restaurant.
Rikuto looked at the huge plate of roasted meat piled up in front of him and his lips twitched.
As for Tenten and Ino, although it was unclear whether they were competing with each other, they were basically subconsciously piling the grilled meat onto his plate, while they themselves barely ate any.
It left him somewhat dumbfounded.
"You guys..."
He took a portion from each of them.
He put it back on the plate in front of the two women.
He tapped Tenten and Ino on the head and admonished them, "That's no fun! You need to eat more to grow!"
"Um..."
The two women exchanged a glance, their pretty faces slightly flushed.
He savored the portion of roasted meat that the Rikuto had returned, slowly and leisurely enjoying it.
"Brother Rikuto, are you going out again this time?"
Ino stared longingly at Rikuto.
Tenten, standing to the side, also stared at Rikuto with unblinking eyes, full of anticipation.
"I'll probably stay for about ten days..."
Rikuto smiled and said, "It's still a bit too early to come back to the village now!"
Is that so?
The two women were somewhat disappointed.
But they heard that Rikuto planned to stay in the village for about ten days this time.
I couldn't help but feel a little happy.
"But Ino, have you mastered the Secret Techniques of the Yamanaka Clan?" Rikuto asked with a smile, patting Ino's little head.
"Of course..."
Ino patted her chest proudly and said, "With the training methods and cultivation insights summarized by you, Brother Rikuto, I've been working hard every day to improve my Chakra control, and I've now mastered most of the family's Secret Techniques."
"Hmm, our Ino really is a little genius..."
Rikuto was not stingy with his praise.
The little girl was overjoyed, her crescent-shaped eyes squinting with delight.
He looked at Tenten: "Tenten, what about you?"
"Not only Rikuto No. 1, but also that flying puppet, Suzaku, I can already control them with ease..." Tenten Tian said confidently, smiling, "Of course, to truly master them, I need even more training!"
In order not to disappoint the Rikuto.
For the past two years, she has been putting in a lot of effort in her training and has never let up.
Now they can control those two puppets quite well.
"Brother Rikuto, Tenten is currently at the Ninja Academy, and she's a famous puppeteer genius!"
Ino, standing to the side, said with a smile, "Even the teachers praised it highly!"
"Oh, not at all, it's just because of the Rikuto..."
Her face was Tenten flushed.
What kind of genius is she?
At most, it's just a matter of putting in some effort.
The true genius is the Rikuto who mastered Puppet Technique and even puppet-making skills without a teacher.
"Don't underestimate yourself. Believe in yourself. Sooner or later, you'll become a renowned puppet master in the Shinobi World!" Rikuto patted Tenten's head and encouraged her with a smile.
He has been dedicated to training this Chinese-style girl into a true puppet master.
No, perhaps you could call him a future Gundam master!
Chapter 120 The Genius of the Branch Family, Neji's Resentment [First Update]
"Forget it, I'll go see the Third of old men..."
I enjoyed a delicious barbecue with Tenten and Ino.
Rikuto then escorted the two women back.
Amidst the two girls' reluctant gazes, they agreed to meet at their "usual spot" that afternoon.
From afar, one could see Konoha Ninja skilled in Hokage Rock Earth Release techniques repairing the cracked Hokage Rock and clearing the green bushes from the Third Hokage's head.
I took some time to go to the Hokage Building and met with the Third Hokage.
The name "Little Medical Sage" Chiya Rikuto had already spread widely in Konoha.
As a direct disciple of Princess Tsunade, one of the Sannin ninjas, and nominally a grand-disciple of the Third Hokage, no one would make things difficult for her, and she quickly went to report.
"Rikuto, it's rare that you, young man, still remember to come and see this old man..."
Inside the Hokage's office.
Looking at the incredibly young boy before him, the Third Hokage smiled and spoke.
"Lord Hokage, you jest. You are not only the Hokage, but also Sister Tsunade's teacher, and nominally my grandmaster as well..."
Rikuto wore a smile and appeared humble and polite.
Completely devoid of his morning arrogance, he said somewhat embarrassedly, "'Respecting teachers and elders, and caring for the young' is a long-standing fine tradition in the village... I've just gotten back, I've been too busy, haven't I?"
This is something we have to mention.
After the deaths of the First Hokage and the Second Hokage.
Over the years, the Hokage lineage has taken the fine tradition of "respecting teachers and valuing the Way" to its extreme.
However, it has developed in the exact opposite direction.
They are all ruthless, treacherous, and treacherous disciples who kill their masters to prove their Dao.
In comparison.
He was a rebellious disciple of a man who only wanted to become the Fifth Hokage.
She seems to be incredibly kind, a pure white lotus rising from the mud, untainted by its surroundings.
Thinking of this, Rikuto couldn't help but straighten his back.
His brows radiated righteousness and grandeur.
Full of confidence.
"..."
The Third Hokage's lips twitched upon hearing this.
If it weren't for what happened that morning, he might have truly believed that this was a humble, polite, and respectful young man.
"Ahem... That's right, where leaves dance in the air, fire never dies out..."
Once they started talking...
The Third Hokage began to speak eloquently and at length.
He instilled in the Rikuto his winning formula— the Will of Fire —which had been invincible in his years of ruling Konoha and dealing with those hot-blooded rookies!
Two hours later.
Rikuto walked out of the Hokage Building with a face full of black lines.
