Rika Orimoto (59.5%)
Ryomen Sukuna (51.1%)
Choso (33%)
Land God (58.8%)
Hanami (15%)
Shiratori Rin had already Awakened five Cursed Spirits, among which Rika Orimoto, Ryomen Sukuna, and the Land God had all reached the Jonin Rank.
However, he estimated that Rika Orimoto and Ryomen Sukuna's strength should be stronger than an ordinary Jonin.
Otherwise, Ryomen Sukuna wouldn't have killed Sand Ninja as easily as cutting watermelons.
He remembered that the System had also said that Cursed Spirits formed from special emotional values were stronger than ordinary Cursed Spirits.
He was truly looking forward to Ryomen Sukuna's strength reaching 100%!
Among the current five Cursed Spirits, if ranked by strength, it should be Ryomen Sukuna first, Rika Orimoto second, Land God third, Choso fourth, and Hanami fifth.
Hanami's strength was at the bottom because its current Rank was too low.
Although Hanami's Rank was low, as a Special Grade Cursed Spirit, Hanami's potential was high!
If they were at the same Rank, then the strength ranking would change again.
In addition to the five Cursed Spirits' Ranks increasing, Shiratori Rin's own abilities had also greatly improved.
With a Heavenly Restriction Physique, his Body Refining cultivation in the future would be twice as effective.
Tomorrow, he would look for crows in the Village and inject Curse Power into their bodies.
He would make the crows his monitors installed in various corners of the Amegakure.
Shiratori Rin closed his eyes and contentedly fell into a dream.
Five AM.
Shiratori Rin got up, washed up, and went out.
He looked dazed.
"System, did I really sleep?"
"I feel like I just lay down?"
"Dear ~ You slept from 9 PM last night until 5 AM today, you've already had eight hours of sleep ~"
Shiratori Rin: "…"
Is that so?
Then why did he still feel so sleepy?
"No!"
Shiratori Rin corrected the System in his mind: "Children need to maintain twelve hours of adequate sleep!"
"…"
"Dear ~ You are already 23 years old ~"
Shiratori Rin held out a child's hand: "My body is only eight years old!"
"Dear ~ Then why don't you go reason with Hanzou ~"
"Let's not."
One must know when to yield and when to stand firm. Shiratori Rin still wanted to extract emotional value from Hanzou.
The heavy night sky of Amegakure pressed down on Shiratori Rin.
It wasn't even dawn yet, and he had to start training.
He was even more miserable than students in Henan in his previous life.
In the familiar training ground, Hanzou's figure had already appeared in his sight.
So early?
Hanzou was also a ruthless person.
Shiratori Rin thought he had gotten up early enough, but he didn't expect there to be an even earlier bird.
Besides Hanzou, many Ninja were already training on the training ground.
Had this group of Ninja evolved past the need for sleep?
Even Koreans couldn't evolve like them.
Shiratori Rin entered work mode. He accelerated his pace towards Hanzou, a look of guilt on his face: "Teacher, I'm late."
Hanzou said sternly: "Don't let it happen again."
Shiratori Rin nodded quickly.
"Start training."
Hanzou swept a glance at the training ground and said to Shiratori Rin: "Run around the training ground. You cannot stop until I tell you to."
He wanted to first figure out Shiratori Rin's physical limit.
Senba Suzume only knew that Shiratori Rin had great talent in Ninjutsu learning, but knew nothing about Shiratori Rin's stamina.
Hanzou was not a fool who only valued Ninjutsu.
He was very clear about how important Body Refining, which was often overlooked by Ninja, truly was.
Even though he mastered various Ninjutsu and powerful poisons, he never stopped Body Refining cultivation.
As Hanzou's Disciple, Shiratori Rin naturally had to possess powerful Body Refining like him.
"Yes!"
Shiratori Rin nodded.
He also wanted to experience Fushiguro Toji's Heavenly Restriction Physique.
Fushiguro Toji was forced into a contract by the world from birth, sacrificing all his Curse Power in exchange for the ultimate Peak of human physical strength.
You ask why Shiratori Rin, who possessed a Heavenly Restriction Physique, didn't need to sacrifice Curse Power?
Of course, it was because Shiratori Rin had the System, a cheat!
If Shiratori Rin also needed to sacrifice Curse Power to use Heavenly Restriction, then what would he need the System for?
What's more, not having Chakra was already a disadvantage. If he didn't even have Curse Power, what would he collect emotional value for? He might as well be beaten to death!
The Heavenly Restriction Physique brought superhuman five senses, extreme muscle strength, and speed.
Not only that, but the body's self-healing speed after injury was also extraordinary, and his stamina was like a bottomless pit.
Since activating the Heavenly Restriction technique, Shiratori Rin hadn't felt any change in his body.
Today's Body Refining training was a good opportunity for him to test it out.
Inside the training ground, only Shiratori Rin was running in regular circles.
Hanzou stood still, his gaze following Shiratori Rin's movements.
One lap, two laps, three laps…
Ten laps, eleven laps, twelve laps…
As the number of laps continuously increased, Shiratori Rin didn't feel any change in his body.
He felt no fatigue at all.
At this moment, Shiratori Rin finally realized the horror of Heavenly Restriction.
He had practiced Body Refining with Jiraiya in the seaside wooden house. His stamina was good, but it wasn't this exaggerated.
One hundred laps, two hundred laps, three hundred laps…
Sweat appeared on Shiratori Rin's forehead.
Hanzou: "…"
This was not normal.
The Rain Ninja on the training ground all stopped their training. They stood aside, staring dumbfounded at Shiratori Rin, who was still running laps.
"How many laps?"
"Three hundred twenty-eight laps…"
"How many laps can you run?"
"Two hundred eighty-seven laps."
"…"
Shiratori Rin's breathing became ragged.
Sweat continuously dripped from his forehead, and he felt tired, but stronger than the fatigue was excitement.
He still wanted to keep running, run desperately, run until he died.
Heavenly Restriction?
No!
Shiratori Rin thought it should be renamed – Permanent Stimulant.
The more tired he got, the more excited he became!
However, Shiratori Rin still stopped.
Because he was hungry.
Although his body didn't feel tired, the heavy sweating and excessive consumption made him extremely thirsty and hungry, in urgent need of replenishment.
"How many laps?"
The surrounding Rain Ninja asked blankly.
"Four hundred and one laps…"
The Rain Ninja next to him answered just as blankly.
"Reached your limit?"
Hanzou looked at Shiratori Rin, who had stopped in front of him.
Shiratori Rin shook his head, exceptionally honest: "Not tired, but hungry and thirsty."
Hanzou: "…"
Shiratori Rin meant that if he had food and drink, he could continue running?
Hanzou felt there was no need to test further.
Shiratori Rin was a natural Ninja.
With an ultimate Physique and extremely strong Ninjutsu talent, he was destined to become a powerful Ninja renowned throughout the Ninja World!
"Next, we will begin learning Body Refining!"
Hanzou did not give Shiratori Rin any time to rest.
In the short two minutes Shiratori Rin had stopped, he felt his body's strength had completely recovered.
"…"
This was too Heaven-Defying!
Shiratori Rin looked at Hanzou and nodded: "Yes!"
A hint of satisfaction quickly flashed in Hanzou's stern eyes.
Shiratori Rin's resilience made him pleased.
Shiratori Rin was becoming more and more like his former self!
"Ding!"
"The System detected Hanzou's Nostalgia Value +500."
"Ding!"
"Your Cursed Spirit Choso's Rank has increased to 33.5%."
Shiratori Rin estimated that Hanzou was once again giving himself too much credit.
One hour later.
"Hoo… huff…"
Sweat flowed like a stream continuously from Shiratori Rin's forehead and temples, into the corners of his eyes, and then dripped from his chin onto the ground, like a localized light rain.
Ever since Hanzou knew his stamina was good, the intensity of his training sharply increased.
Hanzou abandoned conventional Body Refining exercises and instead used sparring to train Shiratori Rin's reaction speed and enhance Shiratori Rin's combat experience.
After each sparring session, he would teach Shiratori Rin combat techniques and have Shiratori Rin apply them in the next sparring session.
If he didn't have the Heavenly Restriction Physique, Shiratori Rin estimated he would have been beaten to death by Hanzou on the training ground.
Even if he wasn't beaten to death, he would have died from exhaustion.
