Chapter 71 Three Years

In the following days, Zhijian Xianren would bring new styles of fruits to mix together every day.

However, from the appearance point of view, it is getting better and better than the first time, and the most important thing is the taste. This kind of blending has also made great progress. Although the fruit itself is good, it is already very good to be able to taste good.

And it is getting fresher and fresher, which shows that Zhijian Xianren attaches great importance to his own craftsmanship.

This made Xia Li believe what Fukasaku Xianren said. Maybe Zhijian Xianren's craftsmanship is really good, but he is not a toad, so he can't appreciate Zhijian Xianren's best craftsmanship.

This is Xia Li's problem, not Zhijian Xianren's problem.

And after getting along with each other for these days, Xia Li also found that Zhijian Xianren is actually very easy to talk to. It's just that he is a little harsh verbally. In fact, he is quite good, a typical sharp tongue and soft heart.

As long as Xia Li gives his compliments every day after eating, Zhijian Xianren will be very happy, and slowly he will no longer mention the matter of insect cooking.

In Myoboku Mountain, Xia Li not only practiced his body, but also studied ninjutsu. Even now, the seals of the substitution technique have been reduced to two. With Xia Li's seal-making speed, he can use the substitution technique in less than half a second.

And the combination of the state of emptiness and the massage of lightning escape has also been improved. It's a pity that the action in the state of emptiness is really difficult. Even if he finds it, he can only blink his eyes.

These are the directions he will continue to work hard in the future. As for Flying Thunder God, the progress of the seal technique is also very good. Xia Li has also begun to decompose the final simplified seal of Flying Thunder God. It won't take too long before he can make his own Flying Thunder God seal.

Of course, it can't be engraved on the kunai like the fourth generation. This needs to be done slowly and can't be rushed.

The rest is that Jiraiya upgraded his library card. Now Xia Li can not only go to the library to read some knowledge, but also successfully read ninjutsu.

Of course, the highest is only B-level, A-level is still confidential, not to mention S-level, and those secret techniques and forbidden techniques are not open to Xia Li.

And this is actually very good, this is the advantage of having a background, what is Xia Li's identity? The apprentice of the three ninjas, the junior brother of the fourth generation Hokage, and the grand-disciple of the third generation Hokage!

Although Xia Li learns very quickly, he needs to learn more and more. Xia Li, who has a clear goal, is distressed and happy about this.

Konoha, Xia Li's home.

Xia Li dragged his extremely tired body out. The reason for going out was naturally to hand over to the shadow clone.

Of course, Xia Li no longer participated in the afternoon training. The third generation also instructed Iruka, and Xia Li's reputation as the great devil was still very useful, so generally no one would bother Xia Li without a clear eye.

In theory, Xia Li only needs to remove his shadow clone, but Xia Li did not do so. Every day after school, he would complete the handover with the shadow clone, and then Xia Li's real body would send Ino home as usual.

As for why he did this, Xia Li always felt that using the shadow clone was a bit strange. After all, when the shadow clone was separated, the thinking of the shadow clone had been out of his control. It was based on Xia Li's thinking at that time.

Even when the shadow clone was released, he could have all the feelings and thoughts of the shadow clone, but... Xia Li still had a strange feeling of being cheated by his past thinking.

Therefore, after the first time of using the shadow clone to accompany him, Xia Li did not continue to use the shadow clone. The shadow clone only needed to learn and have some ordinary communication. For special things like these, the real body should do it.

Xia Li felt that the clone he could accept in this aspect was only the one that was directly controlled by the original body, and whose senses and thoughts could communicate with the original body...

This clone may not be as practical as the shadow clone in many cases, but sometimes it is more practical than the shadow clone~

"Xia Li, why do you look so tired?" Ino asked Xia Li with doubt. In her understanding, didn't Xia Li even participate in the afternoon training?

But it doesn't make sense to say that Xia Li's physique is poor. After all, Xia Li is a first-year, no, second-year demon king!

"I am a little tired." Xia Li also admitted that there was no way. After every day of practice, his body would basically be exhausted. Even if there was a little relief with the thunder escape massage, it was still useless.

Ino looked at Xia Li, and suddenly his face changed, and asked, "Xia Li, are you sick?"

Ino was thinking, Xia Li suddenly stopped participating in the afternoon training. She was also confused at the time. Now think about it, is it because of the body?

Xia Li looked at Ino's worried look and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to pinch his chubby face. Don't say it, at this age, the touch is really good. Now Xia Li has let go. Let's do it this way. If you don't pinch it, the cute time of childhood will expire.

"What are you thinking about? My body is not so easy to get sick."

Suddenly, Ino's face turned red, but he didn't stop it. He asked, "What's going on?"

Xia Li thought about it, but didn't say everything. He just said that the one in school was actually his shadow clone, and his real body had been practicing in other places. Recently, he reached a critical point, so he couldn't go back to school.

"So, is Xia Li a shadow clone now?" Ino curiously pinched Xia Li's palm. Well, it was a little rough, but this was something that could not be helped by long-term training.

"No, I am the real body now. I don't want to use a shadow clone to get along with Ino." Xia Li said.

"Why, isn't that all Xia Li?" Ino became more curious.

"Because, I think that at the moment of getting along, it was not me, even if the memory would be transmitted back later, it would not work." Xia Li replied like this. You can't say that he doesn't want to cheat on himself, right?

Ino didn't say anything, but her red cheeks showed her current mood. Although she was a little confused about Xia Li's thoughts, she was more happy.

Xia Li also retracted his hand at this time and sighed. Sure enough, the touch was better when he was a child. When he grew up, the touch decreased and it was not so cute.

So, he really wanted to raise a daughter who would not grow up. Of course, he could recognize her, but she must be born. He was not the kind of person who changed other people's physical development for his own preferences.

After sending Ino home, Xia Li still found Xiao Li and gave Xiao Li a massage as agreed.

However, during the massage, Xia Li also found that Xiao Li seemed to work harder. It was probably because he was informed of Xia Li's condition. After all, although Might Guy didn't know what happened to Xia Li, as a master of physical skills, he could see Xia Li's progress.

Might Guy was also shocked by this progress. It was said that Might Guy had a glimmer of hope that Xiao Li could catch up with Xia Li.

Now... maybe this hope is gone. What a cruel fact. Might Guy wanted to cry, especially after Xiao Li knew that he still didn't give up, which made him want to cry even more!

After doing all this, Xia Li returned home to rest. His head was dizzy because of the contact with the shadow clone, and his body had no strength. There was no need to force himself anymore.

But what made Xia Li a little desperate was that such days might continue for a long, long time, but he still had to persevere.

Xia Li was actually right, because such days lasted for three years!

PS: That's too much. I can understand that you guessed it if you just said that the time would be skipped, but someone actually said exactly three years... emmm
