A warm current rushed into Kaze's body, flowing through every part of it and gradually transforming his physique.
Wherever it passed, the pain and fatigue vanished immediately, replaced by indescribable comfort.
(╯▽╰) So cool!
Seeing Kaze with a mysterious smile on his face, Sakumo thought to himself that something was wrong.
This kid isn't getting addicted to the electric current, is he?
Woohoo!
Kaze jumped up from the ground, patted his butt, and bowed solemnly to Sakumo.
"Thank you, Sakumo - sensei, for your careful teaching these days. I'm extremely grateful."
"Well, it seems you've achieved a breakthrough," Sakumo showed a faint smile, helped Kaze up, and patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't thank me. It's also the result of your own efforts."
There's no doubt that Kaze's cultivation talent was the worst Sakumo had ever seen in his life.
But his tenacious will was comparable to that of a kid named Might Guy, which quite impressed Sakumo.
"Well, my mission is accomplished," Sakumo smiled and also encouraged him.
"Cultivation is like rowing a boat against the current. If you don't move forward, you'll fall back. I hope you'll practice more of what I've taught you in the future and don't slack off."
Kaze clasped his fists at Sakumo and replied seriously.
"I will, Sakumo - sensei. I'll surely keep your teachings in mind."
After saying goodbye to Sakumo and leaving the training ground, Kaze felt extremely relaxed.
Now that his cheat was back online, and he had obtained Hashirama cells and the Flying Thunder God Technique, he couldn't be happier!
Hashirama cells could raise the upper limit of his body and might even improve his lousy talent.
And with the mastery of the Flying Thunder God Technique, with his current average attribute of 22.5, he was already powerful enough to beat most Jonin!
"At fifteen, being half - step to the level of an Elite Jonin. That's pretty awesome, right!" Kaze said to himself proudly.
"Sure enough, hard work pays off!"
[Host, Naruto was approaching the Six Paths level when he was your age!] The System kindly reminded him.
Kaze casually blocked the System and continued to mutter to himself contentedly.
"After working hard for so long, it's time to relax and reward myself."
"So, should I go to see Ayako or Hanabi, who has a figure like Hinata's?"
"Damn it, Minato!"
While walking around the training ground, Kaze unexpectedly saw Minato training alone in another training ground.
"Kaze, come and train with me."
Seeing Kaze, Minato happily waved at him.
"Ah, no thanks. I was just about to have some fun and relax!"
Although Kaze refused verbally, his body honestly walked into the training ground.
"Come on, Kaze. I'll show you something awesome."
Minato imitated Kaze's tone and at the same time put his hand into his clothes.
"What awesome thing?"
"
Kaze curiously leaned in and placed his hand on Minato's shoulder.
Minato took out a kunai from his bosom, with a yellow talisman paper with a jutsu formula pasted on the kunai.
Isn't this a Flying Thunder God Kunai?
Could it be...
"Hey, watch this, Kaze!"
In Kaze's surprised gaze, Minato let out a mischievous laugh and forcefully threw the kunai in his hand forward.
"Flying Thunder God Technique!"
The next moment, Minato's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot and instantly appeared beside the kunai, firmly grasping it.
"So, what do you think, Kaze? My..."
"What the hell?!"
Minato proudly looked back at Kaze, only to find that Kaze had vanished, leaving only a dotted outline of a human figure in place!
Where did Kaze go?
"Unexpectedly, Minato, it seems you've also mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique."
Minato suddenly turned around, and there was Kaze, right behind him, grinning at him!
"Kaze, could it be that you...?!"
As if realizing something, Minato quickly looked at his shoulder, and sure enough, he saw a Flying Thunder God mark on it.
"You've also mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique!"
Minato was greatly shocked.
He had practiced hard for so long and finally mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique.
But Kaze, who never practiced the Flying Thunder God Technique during normal training, had also...
"Could it be that Kaze's talent has always been above mine?" Minato was a bit dazed.
So, was Kaze just pretending to be unable to learn anything all this time to amuse him?
Pfft.
Seeing Minato doubting his own existence, Kaze secretly felt pleased.
If only Minato had met him a day earlier, he wouldn't have been able to show off like this.
It was just a coincidence!
"Alright, alright. Look at that frowning face of yours. I just learned it recently. It's not as amazing as you think."
Kaze put his arm around the dejected Minato and consoled him, "Your talent is far better than mine, Minato. I just took a shortcut."
"Re...really?" Minato looked at Kaze, half - believing and half - doubting.
"Of course it's true." Kaze said with a bit of helplessness.
Through the system interface, he could see that Minato's average attributes were around 25. That was the level of a Jonin.
Even with the help of the system, he couldn't catch up. Isn't Minato's talent amazing?
"If I had this kind of talent and paired it with the system, I'd have soared long ago!" Kaze thought to himself.
"Let's go."
Since Kaze had come, Minato had no more interest in training. The two of them left the training ground together.
"By the way, Kaze." Minato played with a kunai and said.
"Kyu said she wants you to bring Kaori over to her place for a meal in the next few days. She'll cook herself."
Hearing what Minato said, Kaze shivered. Every pore on his body was filled with resistance.
"Come on. Didn't we just have a get - together half a month ago?"
He still vividly remembers the last time Kushina made those terrible dark dishes.
He couldn't understand how a carbon-based life form could come up with such absurd dishes.
There were dishes like stir-fried herring with durian and passion fruit mixed noodles... The most normal one was pickled avocado with tomatoes.
But since everyone was scrambling for these dishes, Kaze didn't get enough to eat at all and just stared blankly the whole time!
Minato stopped sharpening his kunai and said somewhat hesitantly.
"It seems that Tsunade is coming. She wants to meet Kaori and specifically told you to come with her."
"Specifically told me to come?" Kaze twitched the corner of his eye: "Is that big soft touch (referring to someone easy to take advantage of) addicted to picking on me?"
However, thinking that every time he lost a game, Tsunade would comfort him with her broad-mindedness.
Kaze decided that because of Tsunade's attitude, even if he was hungry, he had to accompany her nicely!
Minato looked back in confusion: "Big what?"
"Ahem, nothing." Kaze coughed twice nervously and changed the topic.
"Well, has Tsunade ever eaten the food cooked by Kushina?"
"Probably not," Minato said with a strange look on his face. "If she had, she might not want to come."
Sigh.
Kaze heaved a heavy sigh, stroked Minato's head and said.
"Good buddy, I'm afraid you'll have a tough time in the future."
