Chapter 181 Times have changed

Unexpectedly, what troubled Luo Yi the most in the next two years was the gift he prepared for the little girl every year.

After all, the diamond bow I gave her when she was 8 years old raised the bar too high, after all, it was the first time I celebrated Hua Huo’s birthday.

So when he was 9 years old, he was given a narrow belt for wearing a yukata. The pearls decorated on it were flawless aurora shell pearls that Luo Yi fished out from the sea himself. He named them "clam cloth beads".

On the eve of his 10th birthday, his father-in-law suggested that he should prepare something more ninja-style and practical, so he made a pair of closed-toe ninja shoes by himself.

But the last one is the gift that Huabi uses least frequently.

In the girl's own words, "Those shoes were a bit soft, and wearing them gave me a weird feeling as if my feet were being 'held' by someone."

In order to find raw materials of suitable texture, he sacrificed a cow, a sheep, and a muntjac.

Hanabi happily ate the remaining raw materials.

...

This is Luo Yi's fourth year in the ninja world.

In the three years since he returned, his studies, training, and work have all gone smoothly. He has a real sense of growth, and he has completely adapted to this world and his young body.

And a weird second puberty.

"Ahem... Well, Hanabi, from today on, we won't be able to take a bath together anymore." After thinking for a long time and failing to come up with a suitable reason, Luo Yi had to get straight to the point after dinner.

"Hey! Why?" The little girl's reaction and resistance were greater than expected.

"Well, I think I'm about to become a man, so it might not be a good idea to take a shower with him again." Be as tactful and subtle as possible.

"Shock! So the previous Luo Yi was a woman?" Hua Huo was horrified.

"Shouldn't you go back to school to learn some language comprehension skills?" Luo Yi seriously doubted whether there was something wrong with his education policy. "What I mean is, I'm going to grow from a boy to a man. Even if we are engaged, we will be laughed at if we take a bath together at this age."

"Who would laugh at us? Father and sister didn't say anything, right?" Hua Huo tilted her head curiously, and then looked at the boy in front of her with even more curiosity, "Besides, how did Luo Yi judge that he had grown from a boy to a man? It seems that there is no part of his body that has become taller or bigger..."

"Ahem! Don't speak so loudly! Also, don't scan me with your rolling eyes!" Luo Yi almost choked to death on his own saliva and used the Tao-Seeking Jade to cover his key parts.

There is no doubt that there are serious problems with his educational approach.

Next, he had to doubt the moral integrity of the ninja world. Can children of the opposite sex over the age of 10 really bathe together? Will he really not go to jail?

Konoha's trainee interrogator issued a soul-searching interrogation beside his own hot spring.

Due to Lao Luo and his final stubbornness, they finally took baths separately and could only agree to resume the habit of bathing together after Hua Huo turned 18 and got married.

This made it even more difficult for the girl. She soaked in the hot spring with a puffed up face like a puffer fish that was about to explode, and she complained almost every day.

It was not until she reached puberty not long after that, when some knowledge engraved in her genes awakened, that she vaguely realized that he was truly thinking about her.

My little fiancé is such a nice guy.

Luo Yi, who was inexplicably given a nice guy card, sneezed while soaking in the hot spring.

...

"Good morning, Waluoyi. Today we will start arranging the examiners for this year's Chunin Exam. Have you been assigned any extra work?"

"Well, good morning. Probably not. Considering the disastrous situation last year, if I were to help with the Chunin Exams, what would I do with the missions that required quick completion?"

"Hiss... the memories of the dead are beginning to attack me."

At the second jonin base of Konoha Village, northeast of Daimyo Prefecture, a jonin who stayed here today greeted and chatted with me.

Luo Yi is the only special jonin who is not a jonin but has an office in the jonin base.

The reason why he did not get promoted to Jonin was that he did not want to serve as a guiding jonin to lead ninja school graduates, thus affecting the time for missions with Hanabi; it is worth mentioning that the little girl and her sister Hinata successfully passed the Chunin exam last year and became two new Chunins of Konoha Village.

Even more impressive is Neji, who was promoted to jonin not long ago. If nothing unexpected happens, he will become the leading jonin of this year's graduating class.

But something unexpected happened.

"Oh yes, did you hear, Naruto and Jiraiya-sama are coming back today."

"So soon? That's right, it's time..."

Luo Yi experienced the three years that flashed by in the comics without skipping a single second.

Fortunately, her appearance has not declined. Her height has reached 154cm, a little bit taller than Hanabi, which is in line with her height when she graduated from junior high school.

Then there is the strength. In Urashiki's words, he has the foundation to practice bloodline net such as "Yozen Hirasaka".

It's okay to skip the bloodline elimination stage directly.

Counterintuitively, unlike bloodline limits, stronger bloodline elimination will not have a negative impact on the ninja itself, such as the third Tsuchikage Ōnoki who practiced Dust Release; more advanced bloodline nets can have the ability to subvert the laws of nature after practicing.

The prerequisite is to have the capacity to accommodate the power, which is manifested externally in physical fitness.

...

"Long time no see, Luo Yi! You've grown taller!"

"It's been a while since we last met. You too, seem to have gotten much stronger."

"hey-hey…"

Less than two hours later, Luo Yi saw the image of Naruto from Shippuden that he and most readers were most familiar with near the village gate.

Jiraiya hasn't changed much, judging from his appearance.

Kakashi also came to greet them. As a gift, he received the sequel to the "Intimate" series, "Intimate Tactics", which is said to be the sequel to "Intimate Violence", the sequel to "Intimate Paradise".

Luo Yi took a peek and was shocked by the sultry culture inside. How could something like this sell so well that three copies were published in a row?

It seems that the hopelessness of the ninja world has nothing to do with his time travel, he is innocent.

"Kakashi, as we agreed before, Naruto will be handed over to you." Jiraiya's book was not given away for nothing, and then he said, "Luo Yi, can I have a word with you for a moment?"

"Brother Jiraiya, can you lend me one to talk?" Luo Yi, who said one thing but meant another, felt a little itchy when he saw Lao Xi couldn't wait to start reading the book.

Naruto & Kakashi: “?”

A little away from the crowd.

"Luo Yi, I am very grateful to you for Nagato's matter. I am saddened by the days when he went astray. I always thought that he, Yahiko and Konan all died in the civil war in the Land of Rain." Even though he had written it in the letter, Jiraiya felt that he should still thank him in person.

"After all, he is my nephew, I can't just leave him alone." Luo Yi smiled and told him not to take it to heart, then changed the subject, "So, facing Xiao now, what are your plans?"

Being able to live two years in apparent peace was something I would never have dared to imagine before.

But beneath the surface of calm...

The time left for Nagato to reorganize the organization has come to an end. Many negative changes are irreversible, such as Akatsuki's goal changing from "fighting for peace through non-violent means" to "forcing peace through nuclear deterrence."

There are a lot of violent elements among the organization's members. Even if they are asked to suddenly change from their usual diet of meat and fish to a vegetarian diet, they will not be able to correct it even if they are given two years.

Unexpectedly, it was Urashiki who showed them a way out: although the Outer Path Demon Statue is the remains of the Ten-Tails Divine Tree, it is not the only one.

This means that if you don’t collect the tailed beasts, there are people and organizations that collect them!

Thus, the story line was connected back to the main track in an incredible way.

Akatsuki still wants to collect the tailed beasts to revive the Ten-Tails. Obito becomes desperate because Akatsuki does not change its actions. Following Black Zetsu's advice, he lies dormant, preparing to wait for the Ten-Tails to actually arrive and then swoop in to take it for himself.

Jiraiya was skeptical about this almost mythical plan, and his attitude towards Akatsuki and Nagato was inevitably ambiguous. "At least on the surface, they are still enemies of the ninja world. If an encounter occurs, blood will inevitably be shed and even people will die."

Just like Itachi's treatment, the guardians in the darkness are destined to be caught in a dilemma. This is the price they pay for the mistakes they have made.

"That's enough. In fact, they will still carry out dangerous actions." Luo Yi did not comment.

For him, the important thing is that Jiraiya will not die due to lack of information, and Nagato will not kill his former mentor again.

"Let's stop here for now. The new Kakashi team is still waiting for you to test them. I heard that you have developed some new and powerful ninjutsu in the past two years."

"Yes, the one I am most proud of is the Tailed Beast Painless Abortion Technique."

"what?"
