After saying that, Jiraiya ran out wrapped in a towel.
A moment later, a scream came from the women's bath next door.
The next second, Hyuga Ranmo saw Jiraiya escape from the bathhouse.
Hyuga Ranmo laughed at the sight.
He carefully put the scroll away, wrapped it in waterproof kraft paper, and got up to go home!
As the sun set, Hyuga Ranmo closed the door, drew the curtains, took out the small scroll, and carefully and slowly opened it…
Wood Release.
Wood Dragon Technique, Bright God Gate, Cutting Technique, Tree Binding Eternal Burial, Tree Sea Descent, Great Forest Technique, Four Pillars Prison, Linked Pillars Family, Tree Root Explosion Burial, Wood Release Clone Technique, Wood Human Technique, Flower Tree World Descent, Ranking Technique, All Cloth Bag Technique…
Later, there was also the Sage Art Wood Release used to cultivate Sage Techniques.
True Several Thousand Hands, and the Top Transformation Buddha used by a Thousand True Hands!
This was truly a treasure! Hyuga Lanmo hadn't slept a wink all night, spending the entire night studying the Wood Release training manual written by Hashirama Senju himself.
And before dawn the next day, he had already gone to the back mountain to begin training Wood Release ninjutsu from scratch!
He didn't return to Konoha until it was fully light.
Jiraiya hadn't returned all night.
As soon as he arrived home, he saw Ayame standing at his door, holding a basket, seemingly waiting for him.
"Ayame," Hyuga Lanmo greeted her.
"Lanmo, I made some cakes, I brought some especially for you, try some..." Ayame happily handed him the basket.
Hyuga Lanmo took it, opened the cloth covering it, and beautiful flower-filled cakes were arranged on a plate.
"Thank you, Ayame..." He picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.
"So delicious!"
"Delicious, right?
I made them myself!"
Ayame smiled happily.
Ayame didn't attend the ninja academy; she heard that her father would send her to a regular school next year, so she was still at home.
They used to play together a lot, and Uncle Ichiraku took good care of him.
But since Hinata Ranmo left Konoha with Tsunade, they hadn't seen each other often, and with him going to the Ninja Academy, the chances of them meeting were even fewer.
Ayame hadn't seen him in a long time either, so she came to visit.
He had to go to school, so Ayame put all the cakes in a paper bag and placed it in his schoolbag: "Study hard, and we'll play together again when we have time!"
"Okay!"
Hinata Ranmo nodded happily, took the schoolbag from her hand, and went to school!
School was the same as usual today. Hyuga Ranmo entered the classroom, and Hyuga Hikaru was talking to someone…
"Hahaha, did you guys see that yesterday?
That Tsuchikage came to our school and even talked to Hyuga Ranmo, asking him if he had kidnapped the Tailed Beasts of Iwagakure?
He even said he destroyed most of Iwagakure?
I was hiding behind the bushes at the time, and I heard their whole conversation.
It scared me half to death.
I thought, Hyuga Ranmo couldn't possibly be that powerful, right?
Later, the Hokage left the school with the Third Tsuchikage, so I went to ask the teachers about it.
And guess what happened?"
"What happened?"
The students all looked at Hyuga Hikaru nervously.
They had heard about what happened yesterday, but they didn't know what had happened afterward.
"It's all fake!
That Third Tsuchikage mistook him for someone else!
I knew it! How could Hyuga Ayame be so powerful?
And destroy most of Iwagakure?
He's only just learned to gather chakra and throw shuriken accurately.
He doesn't even know where Iwagakure is, how could he possibly go there? Haha, it's all fake!" Hyuga Hikaru laughed loudly.
At this moment, Hyuga Ayame entered the classroom, and everyone turned to look at him.
Inuzuka Hana walked over.
"Ayame, did that Tsuchikage really mistake him for someone else?"
He nodded.
It seemed the Third Hokage had kept quiet.
This kind of thing shouldn't be publicized, whether for official or private reasons.
It wouldn't benefit Konoha, so keeping quiet was the best course of action!
After all, revealing that a Jinchuriki had been kidnapped could easily cause misunderstandings.
The class bell rang, and Uchiha Itachi, who hadn't appeared in class for several days, appeared and sat down next to him.
"You're back?
Aren't you going to your individual class today?"
Hyuga Ayame asked.
"The teacher let me come back today.
It seems there's some kind of event at school!"
Itachi Uchiha replied.
Sure enough, a short while later, Teacher Aoba Yamashiro rushed into the classroom.
"Students, line up and assemble!
We're going to the playground for the school assembly!"
Soon, students from all grades of the ninja academy had arrived at the playground, which was packed with people.
On the platform at the front, the Third Hokage and several school teachers appeared.
They sat down, and the Third Hokage began to speak.
"Students, to celebrate the end of the Third Shinobi World War, our school has decided to hold a competition to test your current strength.
We have set up three awards for this competition.
The first place winner will receive a collection of five chakra ninjutsu secrets, the second place winner will receive a scroll of Fire Release and Water Release ninjutsu, and the third place winner will receive a scroll of Earth Release.
In addition, there are cash prizes: 50,000 for first place, 10,000 for second place, and 3,000 for third place.
I hope everyone will do their best.
Students from each class, please proceed to the competition venue in five minutes!"
After the Third Hokage finished speaking, he stepped down from the platform and left the school.
As soon as the principal left, the lower-grade students surrounded Yamashiro Aoba.
"Teacher, what do we do?
It's a school-wide competition, we're sure to lose!"
"Yeah, we're not even ninjas yet, we don't even have headbands, do we still have to participate?" a student asked worriedly.
"This time, everyone in the school has to participate.
Except for those with missions, no one can refuse the competition for any reason.
So, students, we can't back down! Let's do this: participation is what matters.
The teacher will be with you, let's all work hard together!"
Yamashiro Aoba raised his fist and said.
Hyuga Ranmo frowned slightly and glanced back at Uchiha Itachi.
He didn't seem to find this situation a bit abrupt.
So many students from the whole school came to West Mountain, and everyone waited outside the woods because the school teachers were going to explain the competition details later.
A moment later, an elderly teacher ascended the platform and addressed the crowd: "The first checkpoint is the Western Mountain Forest.
The first two hundred to reach the summit will advance to the next stage.
The competition begins..."
With that, the teacher waved his hand, and everyone rushed into the forest.
Hyuga Ranmo followed leisurely behind Yamashiro Aoba, showing no fighting spirit whatsoever.
Soon, everyone disappeared from sight, leaving only the lower-grade students.
Teacher Yamashiro, however, was full of fighting spirit, constantly encouraging everyone: "Everyone, you must do your best! Even if we're the last to reach the top, we must keep pushing forward!
Uchiha Itachi, hurry, catch up! Now is the time to charge forward! Go!"
