"Kiyoshi is back."
Mikoto nodded.
As usual, tonight is the ti for a secret gathering.
"It's getting late, I'll head back first. I'll treat you this ti."
After chatting for an hour, Mikoto paid the bill and took her leave.
Kushina was left sitting there alone, feeling bored. Her social circle currently consists of just three people.
Minato had introduced his three students to Kushina, but she wasn't very familiar with them.
She sat there blankly for a while, then went ho.
…
Kiyoshi's house
Back ho, Kiyoshi took out an ordinary katana and began training, trying to inject Wind chakra into it.
He had already entrusted soone to reforge his previous sword with the ninja cat clan.
The request was to add more chakra tal to the sword and to embed the red stone in the handguard.
Kiyoshi had obtained 500,000 ryo from the Land of Demons. He had used almost 400,000 ryo to invest in a new sword.
Once the war really occurs, there won't be much ti to send weapons for maintenance.
So Kiyoshi wanted to increase the strength of his weapon as much as possible in one go, to prevent it from being damaged too quickly.
Buzz...
An ear-piercing cutting sound began to linger around Kiyoshi's katana, and Kiyoshi tried to maintain the balance on it.
As he expected, he triggered [Apprentice Wind Release Ninja (White)], currently at 5% progress.
Kiyoshi's learning ability was now much faster than before.
Even learning a C-rank ninjutsu that he doesn't know from scratch won't take much ti.
'Wind Release, besides cutting, should also be able to increase my speed.' Kiyoshi thought to himself.
Currently, he only knows the ordinary Body Flicker Technique, and at most, he can make his speed faster by stimulating his body's cells with Lightning chakra.
Now that he has Wind Release, his speed can continue to increase.
Wind chakra can form a layer of compressed airflow to wrap the body, reducing the air resistance.
As the sun began to set, Kiyoshi was already covered in sweat.
He didn't know how many days and nights he had continued such training.
Since coming to Konoha, Kiyoshi has spent most of his ti in training.
Before reaching the Six Paths level, he didn't plan to stop and rest.
At this ti, a new green Trait appeared in front of Kiyoshi.
"You have triggered the Trait: [Fatigue Resistance (Green)]."
[Fatigue Resistance (Green)]
[Requirents: Repeat multiple tedious training sessions to establish a subconscious habit.]
[Progress: 1%]
[Effect: Your muscle mory can optimize the efficiency of movents, reduce unnecessary energy consumption, increase endurance in long-term battles, and your fatigue is reduced by 20%.]
[Note: Can be upgraded.]
"Endurance? I wonder how it's calculated with stamina."
Kiyoshi wiped his sweat, and took off his chain armor, revealing his strong upper body.
He already had [Muscle mory (White)], which increased his muscle mory by 10% compared to ordinary people.
But it cannot wash away incorrect muscle mory.
Many of the body's movents and exertion thods are incorrect, such as simple running, squatting, etc, but it is not usually noticeable.
Once it goes on for many years, it will form hidden injuries.
This new green trait's function of reducing fatigue by 20% is secondary.
What is important is that the preceding text says "muscle mory can optimize the efficiency of movents".
Kiyoshi opened the trait panel and found that the previous [Muscle mory (White)] had turned gray and beco locked.
It seems that in addition to synthesizing to upgrade, traits can also be upgraded based on his behavior.
In the future, one day, his brain may not even need to think.
Various parts of his body might directly respond to stimuli through conditioned reflexes, maximizing the speed of movent and reaction ability.
This is a bit like Ultra Instinct.
Kiyoshi closed the trait panel.
Sotis the speed of instinctive reaction far exceeds conscious action because it does not need to be thought about at all.
In this way, Kiyoshi can react imdiately if soone is attacking.
His ability to protect himself will greatly improved.
Knock... Knock
Just as Kiyoshi wanted to continue training for a while, he heard soone knocking on the door.
Kiyoshi gave the white snake a look. The white snake imdiately understood. It quickly crawled over, and skillfully opened the door with its tail.
"Snake!"
The mont the door was opened, a white snake ca into Ginka's view.
She was startled by this sudden sight, and subconsciously took a step back, a trace of panic flashing across her face.
Seeing this, Natsu behind her quickly lowered her head, trying to suppress the smile at the corner of her lips.
When she had co to Kiyoshi's house last ti, she had seen this snake on the table. So, she was already prepared in her heart.
"Ginka-sama, that is Kiyoshi-kun's summoned beast."
Soon, Natsu recovered the expression on her face and explained to Ginka.
Hearing this, Ginka cald down and looked along the white snake's figure.
She saw the white snake slowly crawling into the house after opening the door.
It stopped at the corridor between the inner room and the yard, biting a piece of raw at, its movents skilled and natural.
'Sure enough, it's a dosticated summoned beast...'
Ginka thought to herself, then reorganized her appearance and stepped into the house.
With her footsteps, Kiyoshi's figure gradually beca clearer.
He was standing in the center of the courtyard.
His upper body was naked, sweat dripping down his solid muscles, shimring in the sunlight.
His chest rose and fell slightly with his breath, and the muscles on his arms were very distinct.
Kiyoshi's figure was strong but not bulky, every muscle seed to be carefully carved, full of beauty.
Each muscle was in the right place, neither large nor small, nor arranged unevenly.
Ginka's eyes stayed on Kiyoshi's body for a mont, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised.
She hadn't expected Kiyoshi, whom she had never really t, to have such a strong physique.
Then... Ginka shifted her gaze.
She has a fiancé. Staring at other n will lead to the spread of gossip, especially in the feudal and rigid Hyuga clan.
"So it's Ginka-san visiting. Please co inside and sit down."
Kiyoshi was naked on his upper body, and his lower body was covered by a pair of loose trousers, which made him look very slender.
He was already much taller than his peers.
With his Lightning Release body training thod, it is impossible for muscle deformation caused by incorrect training thod to occur.
Moreover, the blood of the Yotsuki clan also allows Kiyoshi to have a talent for this.
Even if he is not a ninja, he can be an actor to make a living.
"...Yes."
Ginka and Natsu walked into the inner room.
They politely took off their shoes and went in wearing white socks.
"Please have so tea."
Kiyoshi used a tea bag he had gotten from Miroku. During the days of treating the daimyo, Kiyoshi had taken so things away for various reasons.
Including a whole tea set.
"Yes, thank you."
Ginka politely accepted the tea.
She knelt in front of the low table, maintaining good noblewoman etiquette. Natsu stood behind her.
Kiyoshi put down the second cup of tea and motioned for Natsu to co and take it.
Natsu looked at Ginka, and after finding that there was no objection, she knelt beside Ginka and took the tea.
"Kiyoshi and Natsu are classmates, right?" Ginka smiled.
First, she played the emotional card of Kiyoshi and Natsu being classmates.
"That's right."
Kiyoshi nodded, sitting cross-legged opposite Natsu and Ginka.
There was only a low table between the two.
Kiyoshi wa not used to kneeling, he preferred to sit cross-legged, or sit on a stool.
"This is the gift we brought."
Ginka gave Natsu a look. Natsu gave the pastries she was carrying to Kiyoshi.
"A small token of our appreciation."
Kiyoshi nodded slightly. Ginka couldn't figure out Kiyoshi's attitude.
She tentatively said, "I think we had so misunderstandings in the past, Natsu should have said that too."
Kiyoshi said, "Misunderstanding, um... through Natsu's efforts, we have resolved the misunderstanding."
"Ah ha, I see."
It seed like Ginka had suddenly realized sothing.
It seems that Natsu is still good, not as stupid as other branch house mbers.
Natsu grasped the hem of her skirt tightly. A bad mory flashed in her heart, and her expression slightly changed.
