Wok Shadow Ninja

Chapter 364: The Prince Who Wants to Be a Ninja

"Petrification?" Ino first examined Choji's petrified left leg.

Just as Sakura had judged, it was caused by a massive loss of life energy in a short period. It could be fixed by replenishing it with medical ninjutsu.

Ino's medical skills couldn't be said to be low; it was just that their expression was a bit strange at times.

She always had trouble controlling the ratio of yin and yang chakra.

To prevent over-treatment, she only used a little bit of Yang Release chakra, then stimulated the fat in Choji's body, letting him use the Yang Release chakra stored by his family's secret technique to provide life energy to his own left leg.

His left leg returned to its original state, and the fat accumulated for over a month was also consumed.

Sakura, on the side, used her feminine charm to comfort Michiru and Hikaru. When she casually turned her head, three question marks appeared in her mind.

Who is this handsome guy wearing Choji's clothes? His facial lines are so sharp, with a pointed chin, a high nose bridge, and his eyes are full of melancholy. He looks like a male god who is in no way inferior to Sasuke!

While Ino was studying the petrification glove, she quietly slipped over and asked in a low voice, "Where's Choji? Is his leg okay?"

Ino saw through her thoughts at a glance. This girl was a "face dog," a love-struck brain whose IQ plummeted when she saw a handsome guy.

She sighed. "He couldn't be saved. His leg is crippled."

In reality, Sakura didn't even hear what she said specifically. She just said "oh," and then asked, "Who is that handsome guy over there? He looks so charismatic!"

Ino was speechless. Doesn't this count as "Choji, you only lost a leg, but Sakura lost her love"?

"That is Choji." To shatter Sakura's romantic fantasy, she said decisively.

Sakura's mouth fell open, as if she had been touched by the petrification glove. Her whole body froze there, and she didn't say a word for a long time.

Ino couldn't be bothered with her. She quickly swung her sword and cut off the horse-faced ninja's right arm.

The black palm emitted bursts of purple light. The yellow vertical pupil on the back of the hand looked left and right. It seemed to have realized that it had been separated from its original user. Countless fine needles appeared inside the glove. The horse-faced ninja's severed hand was converted into nutrients and was sucked dry in less than three seconds. All that was left inside the empty glove was a severed bone hand.

"Amazing! What is this thing?" Shikamaru also came over, squatted on the ground, and examined it carefully.

Ino used the tip of her sword to pick up the glove and look at it closely. There was undoubtedly chakra inside this glove, and it used chakra as its energy source.

Connecting it with Koji Kashin, whom she had fought before, a term appeared in her mind: Scientific Ninja Tool.

The flesh touched by the glove would be petrified. This was not petrification in the traditional sense, but a loss of energy caused by the absorption of life energy.

Ino used the breathless horse-faced ninja for an experiment. She used the tip of her sword to pick up the glove and placed it on the horse-faced ninja's chest.

Nothing happened. The light yellow vertical pupil on the back of the glove showed signs of closing.

"Can't it absorb? Or does it have to have a controller?" She wouldn't rashly put on the glove. She carefully examined the eye on the back of the glove.

Ino thought of the frogs on Mount Myōboku who had practiced Sage Mode and accidentally turned into stone statues. Was there some connection here?

The Sage Modes of the three great holy lands were all different. Ino didn't know about Ryūchi Cave. The Sage Mode of Shikkotsu Forest could only be used by the Slug Sage; it was a Sage Art belonging to mollusks. From beginning to end, the Slug Sage had no clansmen; they were all her clones. Naturally, there was no need to research a Sage Mode for outsiders or humans to master.

Mount Myōboku had many disciples and grand-disciples. Their Sage Mode had been practiced by many humans in history and had a relatively mature set of training methods.

The yellow vertical pupil on the back of the petrification glove looked very much like that of some kind of frog or toad.

Ino guessed that it should be a certain frog or toad that had practiced Mount Myōboku's Sage Mode, then lost control of the Sage Art chakra and went berserk, turning into a stone statue. Its eye was then gouged out and, through technological means, made into this petrification glove.

The Kara organization recruited these three as outer members and had them collect children in the Land of the Moon. As a reward, they gave them the petrification glove.

Considering that she had just fought a big battle with Koji Kashin, and his Sage Mode was incredibly skilled, Ino estimated that the accuracy of this guess was as high as seventy percent.

She sealed the glove, preparing to take it back to the village to study.

"Can I go to school in your village? Can I learn ninjutsu?" Hikaru put on new glasses and clothes, seeming to have returned to being that aloof, sharp-tongued boy. His words were unusually direct.

Sakura was still immersed in the pain of "lost love." She pouted. "You have to ask our Jounin about that."

Choji was still stuffing his face to replenish his fat. He also pointed in Ino's direction, meaning, You have to ask her. We can't make the decision.

Shikamaru glanced at Ino. You fooled him into buying "school district housing," and now you're getting your just deserts, right?

Ino sat on a chair on the side, eating. Facing Hikaru's question, she said, "Ninjas and ordinary people are different. Ninjas need to train hard. As long as you learn the ninjutsu of a hidden village, you are considered a member of the village. When the Kage gives an order, you have to carry out various missions like killing and arson. Have you thought about this problem? If you refuse a mission, you are a rogue ninja, an enemy of all ninjas."

She explained the bloody side of the ninja profession very bluntly.

Hikaru was stunned.

"Do I have to kill people?"

"If a mission is given, you have to go."

"If I encounter a mission I don't want to do, do I still have to carry it out?"

Ino smiled brightly. "You little brat have been annoying me, but to carry out the mission, didn't I still go and save you? To save you, I tore down half of your royal capital. This is a mission-first ninja. The mission is important; my personal joys and sorrows are not."

A sentence from Hikaru made her frown. "If I encounter a mission I don't want to carry out, can I hire other ninjas to do it? Can I hire you to do it? Is that not allowed?"

Prince Michiru, who had been silent, immediately jumped out when he heard them talking about his area of expertise. "I have money, any amount of money is fine! Please help Hikaru!"

Ino really wanted to refuse, but after seeing the fat prince write a "one billion ryo" check without a second word, she suddenly felt her voice was very dry.

Give Tsunade thirty million, give Jiraiya twenty million… this matter doesn't seem impossible to arrange, right? At most, she would treat Iruka to another bowl of ramen and insert a transfer student into his class. It shouldn't be a big problem.

Ino tried her best not to look at the check. She asked in confusion, "You are a prince in the Land of the Moon. Why do you want to be a ninja and suffer this hardship?"

Hikaru's childish voice made the fat prince's face full of tears. "I want to protect my father, to protect everyone."

Ino sighed. "I don't know if you have the talent of a ninja. I'll spend some time guiding you these two days. If you have the talent, and your father allows it, I will take you back to Konoha Village."
