Red Nara

He hadn't personally interacted with the man, but he'd heard the gossip and shopped at the shop, as did almost every jonin in the village.

- Ryo promised to pack them full of equipment," the sannin grinned, "and the rules of the exam are that what you can make, you can use without restriction. After all, it's the samurai who advocate fair competition in equal conditions, and we shinobi use any advantage we can.

Remembering the contents of the seal shop, as well as the price list of custom work, Orochimaru could only agree with his partner's assessment. It was a case where the amount of ryo could be directly translated into combat potential, and who better than the apprentices of a Fuin master to use seals in combat.

- Okay, I'll help your genin, but don't think it's for nothing," Orochimaru gave up, wistfully thinking about his workload, since he wasn't going to abandon his basic research.

- Thank you, Orochimaru! - Jiraiya clapped him on the shoulder with his free hand, smiling in relief. - If you need anything, feel free to contact me.

- I believe you've recently gotten your hands on some Fuin training materials? - The snake sannin hinted to his friend, showing that even when he slept in his lab, he had his finger on the pulse of Konoha life.

- As soon as you get out of your dungeons, you can make any copies you want," the white-haired shinobi sighed in relief, glad that he had gotten off so lightly and wouldn't have to be a guinea pig for some of the ideas of his friend's sophisticated mind.

The past few times had left a lasting impression.

- Fifteen minutes," Sensei announced.

Breathing heavily, Hoshi flopped down on the ground and relaxed on the grass, feeling her muscles throbbing and her clothes soaked with sweat. The last few days had been very busy and difficult in every way - Ryo-sensei had not only been training with renewed vigor for the chunin exam, but he had also been sending the team to the Hokage's stadium construction site every morning, eager to get the required eight C-rank missions, which served as the threshold for team entry, as quickly as possible.

Hoshi had already saved up a decent amount of ryo, which she would have to spend very soon, as her clothes were starting to get a little tight, even though they had been taken with a good amount of extra money and had good elasticity. Add to that the increased wear and tear, and the current closet would soon be thrown in the trash.

Sensei had said that such growth rates would continue for some time, until the body would not reach the limits of the parameters set by nature. Even now, after three weeks of intense training, Hoshi noticed that her thin teenage figure, albeit with already marked where necessary roundness, began to acquire the pleasant outlines of a young girl, and before the breasts, not happy with its volume, grew by half a size, stepping confidently to two!

The same changes were also happening to her partner, making Surizawa feel envious. There was no need to break away from the team! Especially when the services of iryonin during and after training are completely free, just take a fist and work with full dedication!

Kunoichi understood perfectly well that at this age she was forging her own future, and she and her friend worked until bloody blisters and complete exhaustion every day, except for the only day off.
