Even though Tenten's voice was very soft, Hinata and Naruto both heard her.
Hinata just looked at Bai Xuan's back with admiration and didn't speak.
Naruto, however, couldn't help but echo, "Bai Xuan's strength is really great, he's truly amazing."
However, not long after, a hint of shock unconsciously appeared in their eyes.
Because they saw Bai Xuan take out a small katana.
And then,
This small katana seemed to transform into a silver moon in Bai Xuan's hand.
This silver moon rapidly circulated over the wild boar, continuously cutting and slicing.
In just a moment, the huge wild boar was divided into many small pieces by Bai Xuan.
Such speed, such knife skills, were truly magnificent.
While Bai Xuan was processing the wild boar, Hayate, who was by Bai Xuan's side, told Bai Xuan an important piece of news.
Chapter 9: Shadow of Crows
"You saw a group of Chakra-infused crows in the forest."
When Bai Xuan learned of this information, a hint of thought flashed in Bai Xuan's eyes.
Crows are not uncommon animals.
But crows with Chakra should be Summoning Beasts raised by Ninja.
In Konoha Village, Bai Xuan knew of two Ninja who raised crows.
Uchiha Shisui, and Aoba Yamashiro.
(Note: The encyclopedia says that Uchiha Itachi's crow Ninjutsu was taught by Uchiha Shisui, and these crows were also adopted and cared for by Uchiha Itachi after Uchiha Shisui's death. Uchiha Shisui is not dead yet, so there are only two Ninja in Konoha currently raising crows.)
Although Aoba Yamashiro is just a minor character, he is also a Special Jonin of Konoha.
As for Uchiha Shisui, there's no need to mention him; he's widely known as Shisui of the Body Flicker, and some even call Uchiha Shisui the Strongest Genjutsu Ninja of the Uchiha.
Although in this world, the title of "Strongest" doesn't seem to be worth much.
But Bai Xuan acknowledged Uchiha Shisui's strength.
A Mangekyo Sharingan wielder, his ocular Ninjutsu, Kotoamatsukami, known as the "Strongest Genjutsu," can directly invade the opponent's brain without being detected, and permanently and completely modify the opponent's will.
Although the cooldown time is a bit long and the consumption is a bit large.
But this effect is truly powerful!
"Who exactly raised these crows?"
"The crow Ninjutsu displayed by Uchiha Itachi seems to be quite good; it's powerful yet practical, and stylish yet versatile."
"It just so happens that I also want to subdue a flying Summoning Beast."
"I think crows are quite good."
"This forest belongs to the Konoha interior, so it's not considered dangerous."
"Since the owner of these crows raised a group of crows, they shouldn't mind giving one, or some, to me."
"Otherwise, I'll just buy them directly with money."
"Or,"
"Directly post a mission to acquire one, or some, Chakra-infused crows."
After quickly thinking it over in his mind, Bai Xuan immediately instructed Hayate, "Remember the scent of those crows; we'll come back next time."
"Woof."
Listening to Bai Xuan's command, Hayate barked seriously, then wagged his tail cheerfully, staring intently at the processed wild boar meat in Bai Xuan's hand.
Seeing Hayate's posture, a faint smile appeared on Bai Xuan's face.
What a foodie.
But he's also obedient and loyal.
After quickly putting away the small katana, Bai Xuan returned to the barbecue grill with the wild boar meat.
Fortunately, Bai Xuan's barbecue grill was large enough, and it cooked quickly.
Bai Xuan quickly applied oil and seasonings to the wild boar meat, then placed it directly on the grill.
A new round of barbecue thus began.
While waiting for the meat to cook thoroughly, Uzumaki Naruto, after a moment of contemplation, directly spoke up, "Bai Xuan, I feel like you're really amazing."
"I also want to become as strong as you; can you teach me?!"
As he spoke, Uzumaki Naruto looked at Bai Xuan with anticipation, waiting for Bai Xuan's answer.
Looking at Uzumaki Naruto's expression, Bai Xuan calmly said, "To become stronger, you have to endure a lot of hardship."
"I insist on exercising every day, eating and drinking my fill, replenishing energy, and taking in nutrients to possess this kind of strength."
Although Bai Xuan said this on the surface, looking at Uzumaki Naruto's "craving for power" face, Bai Xuan couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
You are Ashura's reincarnation; when the time comes for the decisive battle against Kaguya, the Six Paths Sage will naturally give you a cheat.
Perhaps you don't need to cultivate, don't need to work hard, and you can still gain power.
Even without talking about the future, there is a Nine-Tailed inside your body right now.
As long as you can borrow and withstand the Nine-Tailed's power, you can also gain immense power in an instant.
As for whether Uzumaki Naruto can withstand the Nine-Tailed's power?!
Feeling the powerful vitality contained within Uzumaki Naruto's Sage Body, Bai Xuan felt there was no big problem.
Listening to Bai Xuan's words, Uzumaki Naruto's expression became serious, and he then nodded heavily and replied, "Don't worry, I, Uzumaki Naruto, am not afraid of hardship!"
"I exercise every morning in that forest to the east. If you're willing, you can come along," Bai Xuan nodded in reply.
Tenten, listening to Bai Xuan and Uzumaki Naruto's words, couldn't help but be a little moved.
Actually, Tenten had gone to exercise with Bai Xuan before.
It's just that perhaps because she was too young, Tenten didn't stick with it.
If I try again, maybe I can persevere this time.
Thinking this, Tenten also spoke directly, "Oni-chan, I want to go too."
"This time, I will definitely persevere."
Listening to Tenten's words, Bai Xuan also smiled, "Okay, no problem."
Seeing Bai Xuan, Tenten, and Naruto all going to exercise together in the morning, Hinata couldn't help but feel a little lost.
Because she was the eldest daughter of the Hyuga Clan's main family, and the Hyuga Clan's family rules were very strict; it was basically impossible for her to go out in the morning.
Seeing the disappointment on Hinata's face, Tenten and Naruto seemed to want to say something, like inviting Hinata to join them.
But Bai Xuan spoke first, "Hinata, I know the Hyuga Clan's family rules are very strict."
"You can try to pluck up the courage and communicate with your parents to see if you can gain some freedom."
"But you don't need to rush; we will always be friends. Whenever you're free, you can come and play with us."
As he spoke, Bai Xuan used tongs to pick up a large piece of roasted meat and placed it in Hinata's bowl, smiling as he said, "Eat."
(Remember! "? No. 1 3;, ) "Don't have so many unhappy thoughts; eat more."
"Good food can bring happiness."
Listening to Bai Xuan's words, Tenten and Naruto also reacted, with a hint of understanding in their eyes.
And on Hinata's face, there was even more emotion; she nodded heavily, and Hinata replied softly, "Mm, I understand."
"Thank you, Bai Xuan-kun, I will pluck up my courage."
Seeing Hinata's expression, Bai Xuan also smiled and clipped another piece of roasted meat for Hinata.
And then,
Bai Xuan began to distribute the roasted meat.
Tenten, Naruto, Hinata, Hayate, and himself.
Just like that, time slowly passed.
"Hinata, don't be restrained, and don't be nervous or embarrassed."
"Eat as much as you can, until you're full."
When Bai Xuan said this, Hinata's reaction made Tenten and Naruto show stunned expressions of shock.
Hinata, this girl who seemed quiet, timid, and even a little shy… actually ate so much!
Chapter 10: Wind Release Genius
Looking at Hinata's appetite, Tenten and Naruto seemed to want to say something, but they were stopped by Bai Xuan.
After all, Hinata was already quite timid and hesitant; she usually didn't dare to eat her fill.
If they said something today, Hinata might be too embarrassed to eat like this in the future.
Furthermore, a girl's appetite doesn't seem to be a good topic for discussion.
Hmm, it seems.
Hinata's Byakugan purity is very high; even Momoshiki Otsutsuki on the moon called Hinata the Byakugan Hime.
If it followed the original trajectory, Hinata would have been too embarrassed to eat her fill since childhood.
Hinata, who grew up like that, could still be called the Byakugan Hime by Momoshiki Otsutsuki.
If Hinata could eat her fill since childhood…
The Tenseigan might be very close.
As for the relationship between appetite and the Tenseigan.
Bai Xuan felt that with a larger appetite, more energy and nutrients would be absorbed.
If energy and nutrients were sufficient, humans could also develop faster and better.
Especially special Bloodline Limits like the Byakugan and Sharingan.
They should require a large amount of energy and nutrients to become even stronger and more perfect.
Bai Xuan thought casually while leisurely feeding Hayate.
Soon.
As time passed, the four people and one dog finally ate their fill.
Thus, Bai Xuan began to tidy up the barbecue grill.
After quickly putting things away, Bai Xuan spoke to Tenten, Naruto, and Hinata, "Since we've eaten our fill, let's go."
"Next time we have a chance, we'll continue our picnic."
"As for now, I'll take you home."
Listening to Bai Xuan's words, Tenten, Naruto, and Hinata's eyes seemed to flash with a hint of reluctance.
They hadn't expected that this picnic would end so quickly.
Indeed, happy times are always short-lived.
But it was nothing; next, Bai Xuan took Tenten, Naruto, and Hinata home.
Tenten's house was the closest, Naruto's second, and Hinata's was the farthest.
After all, the Hyuga Clan had its own clan land, and since the Hyuga Clan was also a large clan, this clan land was naturally not small, so it naturally couldn't be too close to the center of Konoha Village.
It was precisely because of this that after Bai Xuan took Tenten and Naruto home, with only Bai Xuan and Hinata remaining.
To save time, Bai Xuan and Hinata rode on Hayate's back.
After a burst of speed, Bai Xuan and Hinata arrived at the entrance of the Hyuga Clan.
"We've arrived," Bai Xuan said to Hinata with a smile.
