Chapter 99: Chapter 100: Neji's Inner Thoughts
Kato Megumi was chatting with Pakkun, while Yamashiro Runya watched his girlfriend with a silly smile from the side.
Xia Mu took the opportunity to call Yamashiro Aoba aside.
"Aoba-sensei, I wonder if you could introduce me to your two partners?"
"My partners? You mean Mitarashi Anko and Genma Shiranui? Why do you suddenly want to meet them?" Yamashiro Aoba was puzzled.
"Hehe, I heard they were once the Fourth Hokage's guards."
Xia Mu lowered his voice, "I've studied the Fourth Hokage's achievements. The Flying Thunder God Technique is incredibly fast and invincible. I think your two partners must have learned it, and I want to ask them to teach me."
Yamashiro Aoba was impressed with Xia Mu again after hearing this: "You know quite a lot, and you have exceptionally good judgment!"
This evaluation wasn't said casually, but truly fit Xia Mu's current situation.
Xia Mu did know quite a lot, whether it was about Might Duy, Sakumo Hatake, or things related to the Fourth Hokage, he seemed to know something about them. And his judgment was indeed very good. What he chose to learn were all very powerful things, including the Eight Gates, Hatake Swordmanship, and now he was even eyeing the Flying Thunder God Technique.
This wasn't something ordinary people could know. Even if some people had heard of it, they wouldn't know where to learn it.
But Xia Mu knew, and it felt quite magical.
Xia Mu smiled sheepishly: "My judgment is indeed good, otherwise how could my girlfriend be so cute and beautiful!"
Yamashiro Aoba couldn't help but roll his eyes under his sunglasses. This guy was pretending to be confused when he clearly understood. He knew he didn't mean that, and this wasn't how you pretended to be stupid.
Fortunately, he wasn't actually against Xia Mu's actions.
As a ninja, you naturally have to do everything you can to make yourself stronger as quickly as possible. As long as it's not harmful, being a little thick-skinned is fine.
As a teacher, he was naturally willing to help with this.
Anyway, he didn't have much to teach Xia Mu now. Since Xia Mu could learn the Eight Gates and Hatake Swordmanship, learning the Flying Thunder God Technique was also possible. Perhaps his disciple's future strength could surpass the Hokage.
"Raiton and Genma did learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, but their talent wasn't enough, and they ended up only creating the Flying Thunder Formation Technique, which felt a bit wasteful. Your talent is good, and you learned the Summoning Technique early, which shows your aptitude in Space-Time Ninjutsu isn't bad. Perhaps you really can learn the Flying Thunder God Technique well. I'll talk to them first and see if they're willing to teach you, but teaching Ninjutsu isn't something done casually. They might test you, so you need to be prepared."
"Don't worry, Aoba-sensei, I'm always prepared! Bring on any test!"
Xia Mu smiled happily. Since Yamashiro Aoba was willing to help, he was one step closer to getting the Flying Thunder God Technique. He was really looking forward to it.
In the evening, Xia Mu again used the excuse of sharing good news to quietly slip into Tenten's room. He was already very familiar with this kind of thing, but because they were in their puberty, they sometimes couldn't sleep when they slept together. They always couldn't help but want to get closer to each other, and had to restrain themselves.
It was truly a bit of an ordeal.
Another day, Yamashiro Runya was again specially trained by Yamashiro Aoba, while Kato Megumi went to the hospital to help. It was said that a senior there was willing to teach her the Chakra Scalpel.
As for Xia Mu, he was in a state of being left to his own devices.
Yamashiro Aoba didn't have much to teach Xia Mu. Before, he had specifically taught Xia Mu Mind Reading, and didn't expect Xia Mu to learn it in a short time. This made Yamashiro Aoba feel both pain and happiness.
Having an excellent student is a very happy thing, but a student who is too excellent is also quite troublesome.
So, Yamashiro Aoba let Xia Mu play on his own, and told him to find his teacher if he needed a sparring partner.
Xia Mu didn't bother Yamashiro Aoba, but shamelessly went to Team Guy with Tenten, then accepted challenges from Xiao Li and Neji. After winning, he went to challenge Kai.
Team Guy had a stronger training atmosphere, perhaps because Kai drove it.
Kai himself was a training fanatic. Besides training, it was training. He basically didn't think about other things, it wasn't that complicated. So, being with Team Guy felt very fulfilling.
Moreover, Xiao Li and Neji were both relatively warlike, and fighting them multiple times could continuously accumulate combat experience.
Most importantly, his cute girlfriend Tenten was by his side. There was nothing happier than this.
At this time, it was Tenten's turn to fight Xiao Li, but to test their Taijutsu, Tenten didn't use her Ninja Tools. For a while, she was fighting back and forth with Xiao Li.
And Kai, as the referee, kept posing and cheering from the side. It was quite lively.
··· Flowers please ···
Xia Mu drank the water Tenten gave him and watched Tenten fight heartily. Her heroic figure was very charming.
At this moment, Neji suddenly spoke: "Xia Mu, can we talk?"
Xia Mu was surprised, but nodded: "Okay, what do you want to talk about?"
"It's nothing much, I just have some things I don't want to keep buried in my heart and want to confide in someone."
Neji's expression was a little melancholic, "I've been defeated by you multiple times, and among the younger generation of Genin, I've only been defeated by you. Especially when I saw you fighting a strong person like Orochimaru before, I truly admired you. After thinking about it, perhaps confiding the things in my heart to a strong person like you will allow me to get some advice from you. I hope you don't mind."
Those things in his heart?
.... .... ....
No, are you planning to tell me about the Cage Bird Curse Mark?
Aren't you planning to expose the ugliness of the Hyuga Main House during the Chunin Exams?
Xia Mu was even more surprised, but since Neji, with his cool personality, had said this much, Xia Mu really couldn't refuse, so he nodded.
