In the 54th year of Konoha (this book is based on the 48th year of Konoha when Naruto was born), January 10th, a full week has passed since Giyuu officially began to practice the breath of fire. There is still more to go before the start of the Ninja School.

50 full days.

In the mountain stream of Nanga River, Yiyong took off his shirt, and his immature body was like red and hot lava, motionless under the wash of the waterfall, allowing the cold water and the hot body to touch each other, and lump after lump rose up.

The hazy mist that only exists in the sky.

Experience has proven that practicing the breath of fire, which has completely opposite characteristics, in this place where water breathing is extremely efficient can effectively weaken the vitality of the latter's extremely violent natural energy flowing through the body.

At present, Yiyong has been able to initially adapt to the intensive transformation of the body, especially the bones and muscle tissue, caused by the breathing of inflammation——

It is a feeling of burning an iron embryo in a flame, smelting it and then repeatedly forging and shaping it. It is more painful than breathing through water, but it is also more enjoyable after completing a set of breathing cycles, as if it has been suppressed for a long time.

Those who are thirsty drink a large glass of sour plum juice.

Now that Yiyong is in a waterfall, he can maintain his breath of fire for 7 consecutive hours without making any mistakes. But if he is far away from the water source, this time will be reduced to 3 hours, and the distance will reach "24 hours."

There is still a clear gap between "normal" without making mistakes.

It now appears that the reason why the breath of fire has always been a family skill of the Purgatory family on earth is not because the fire pillars of the past generations have a sectarian view or cherish their broomsticks.

In fact, only swordsmen who have experienced many years of training can have the physique and patience to withstand the pressure of this kind of practice, otherwise it is easy to spontaneously combust and die.

And in the ninja world, a place with extremely abundant natural energy, practicing Yanhu is even more dangerous.

Compared with the mental and physical energy that can be stably extracted from the body, it is more than ten times more difficult to use the micro-manipulation ability that penetrates the world to control the violent natural energy. Therefore, Yiyong can only use the patience of a water column to control violent natural energy.

Adjust and control bit by bit...

While he was concentrating on breathing, on the river not far away, four shadow clones holding bamboo sticks were individually training the first eight sword styles of Breath of Fire.

As for the last type, the Nine Type Purgatory, it is similar to the Eleven Type Nagi of Shui Hu. It can only be used after reaching the normal level and then combining it with chakra.

There was a sound of flapping wings, and the red-eyed crow that Shisui left for Giyuu to observe the surroundings flew over and landed on the top of Tanbian's hut.

After it called hoarsely twice like a timer, the four clones stopped in unison, like four identical statues, standing still and motionless.

A minute passed, and after Giyuu's body made a clear exhalation, one of the clones immediately seized the opportunity and said: "The time is up, if we keep practicing, you won't have the strength to go to Naruto."

Yiyong's real body opened his blue eyes and nodded slightly. Then he formed a hand seal, and all the clones immediately disappeared. However, Yiyong himself seemed to be pushed hard from behind, and was almost hit by the waterfall.

fall--

The four clones have been practicing swordsmanship for a full eight hours from 4 o'clock in the morning to now. The pain and fatigue have quadrupled on the main body. I really don't know what words to use to describe it.

Yiyong walked out of the waterfall with a gloomy face and completely submerged his body into the water. His swollen muscle tissue continued to tighten under the cold but stable stimulation. The discomfort all over his body was slightly relieved, and then he was able to think about sorting out the experiences of his clones in practicing the sword form.

Five minutes later, his body gradually rose from the water and floated to the surface. His eyes were staring straight ahead, and a strong white air escaped from his mouth and nose.

"Breath of Fire·One Type·Shiranui."

A twisted space more than eight meters long passed through the air, accompanied by a water ravine of the same length below that violently separated to both sides, and Yiyong's body instantly appeared at the end of the water ravine.

Then the water surface returned to its original state.

"Shiranui, it can be used as a teleportation technique."

Yiyong glanced at the air behind him that was distorted by the high temperature, "But the traces are obvious, so it can only be used for a frontal attack."

[I don’t know what this type will be like if Changzhong participated in chakra refining...]

Then, he repeated his old trick and suddenly appeared at the door of the hut. Yiyong took off his wet pants and changed into a more life-like clothes that he had prepared long ago.

Then he once again separated a shadow clone - anyway, his current chakra was far higher than four months ago - and began to sit on the small table, studying the homework assigned to him by Itachi, which was about the changes in the form and properties of water attribute chakra.

principle.

【"You can use it better only if you understand it, otherwise it will be difficult to create something new that is completely suitable for you."】

That's what Itachi told him.

Yiyong couldn't refute, so he agreed, but there is no progress in this part so far, but at least he can understand what those terms mean.

After leaving the mountain stream, Yiyong regained his water breathing so that no one would notice him. He chose a small road and returned home.

The house was cold and empty.

In order to satisfy his father's wish that "you must beat the Hinata family" in the entrance exam, Sasuke is studying hard in an office of the police force, and can receive personal guidance from his father every day. Although he misses Giyu very much, he can be with his father.

Being close to each other is quite satisfying.

[At least in terms of fire escape, I am much stronger than Yiyong!]

This is what he thought, "Next time I train with Yiyong, I will definitely scare him."

Wish him good luck.

While Itachi was outside the village, he continued to perform tasks that could help him enter the Anbu. The specific contents were kept secret.

According to my mother, she should be working with three subordinates who have become chuunin to protect a noble from the City of Fire to the Land of Rain.

Yiyong looked at the empty living room and kitchen, thinking of the mansion he was given as a gift when he was a water column, and the nights he spent tossing and turning on the bed. A familiar feeling of loneliness surrounded him.

The next moment, Giyuu remembered Naruto's seemingly meaningless "I'm back" when he came home and opened the door.

He also understood what that really meant.

"Don't keep him waiting."

Yiyong said to himself, dispelling his faint emotions, walked all the way to the storage room at home, and dragged out the induction cooker and rice cooker that had been eliminated for many years.

When he came back from Naruto's house last time, his mother offered to let him take it over, but she just told him not to disturb Naruto for too long.

Yiyong cleaned the two electrical appliances, then returned to his room to find the recipe he had copied before - because the original text was too ugly and it was inconvenient to forward it to others - and then set off from home.

…

When Giyuu walked to the door of Naruto's house, he was sure he heard a painful groan.

【Have you had diarrhea again?】

Giyuu frowned, [Didn’t the Hokage say he would let merchants sell things to him?]

"Dong dong."

He could hear Naruto walking, so he probably wasn't in the bathroom, so he put down his things and knocked hard on the door.

"Is he a volunteer?"

Uzumaki Naruto's voice was joyful, but a little tight, which was consistent with Giyuu's guess that he was unwell.

"Open the door."

Yiyong said calmly, "It's me."

"Can you wait a moment? I want to use the toilet."

His tone became more nervous, and then there was the sound of the toilet door closing suddenly.

Yiyong was worried that his physical condition was serious and he still had to speak harshly, so he grabbed the door handle and turned it off with a click.

[If it doesn’t work, take him to the hospital first.]

After the door was forced open, a familiar room came into view, but the mop fallen on the floor and the wet floor were new, indicating that Naruto was cleaning before he arrived.

Then, an unbearable smell penetrated Giyuu's nostrils. If it were Tanjiro, he would have said that his throat hurt from choking.

【But this taste seems to be very familiar...】

The faucet in the toilet rang.

The sound of running water, which was light and heavy and then stopped, meant that Naruto was not sitting on the toilet, but hurriedly flushing something, and even made an inaudible breath, obviously to avoid being heard by Giyuu.

Voice.

Yiyong did not force the toilet open, but quietly walked to the refrigerator, opened the door, and took out a carton of milk.

"The production date is December 1, and the shelf life is 45 days."

Yiyong's eyes became slightly sharp, "There are still 5 days to expire."

[So, from expired milk to expired milk? 】

There are sixteen boxes of milk in a carton, and there are exactly sixteen boxes in the refrigerator, which means that these are the milk that Naruto just bought today or yesterday.

The scene when the Third Hokage made his promise to Naruto flashed through his mind, and the corners of his mouth turned down slightly.

In the Demon Slayer Corps, he hates those people who are irresponsible but talk nice.

If Naruto feels that he is old and unable to manage so many things, and retreats to the second line like Master Lintaki, why is he doing this, failing to do what he promised, and disappointing people in vain. Doing things perfunctory is better than doing nothing at all.

Even more annoying.

Yiyong closed the refrigerator door, but the bathroom door opened.

He cast his gaze over and found that Uzumaki Naruto's first look when he saw him was not surprise, but that Itachi shrank back subconsciously as if he was discovered by him in the kitchen. Then Naruto asked in surprise: "Giyu, you

How did you get in?"

This was what Sasuke said when he stayed up late reading a novel and turned his head to see his mother standing silently behind him. It was full of guilt, as if there was something that could not be known to others.

Then, Naruto glanced at the door where heat was constantly pouring out, and let out a nervous exclamation.

"I will change the lock on the door for you."
To be continued...
