Shinomiya Yuzuki: "That's right."
Minato Namikaze could only exclaim, "This is unbelievable!" before exiting the shop.
Currently, he doesn't have anything in particular he wants.
The conversation ended, and Yuzuki returned to reality.
He looked up and saw a pair of delicate feet almost touching his face.
Before anyone knew it, Ino had also lay down on the sofa, resting her head on the other armrest.
With Yuuzuki lying in the middle, she naturally became a "human footrest."
Yuyue looked at it for a while, then grinned and said:
"Wow, I never noticed before, your feet are quite pretty."
"Tsk, jade feet."
Upon hearing this, Ino lowered her head and glared at him fiercely, then lightly kicked Yuuki.
She said, both embarrassed and angry, "You're such a pervert!"
Yuzuki suddenly straightened her back and suggested:
"Hey, I have an idea. You have two legs, and I happen to have one mouth, so how about we..."
Ino quickly pulled her leg back, her face full of disgust: "Ugh~ You're really disgusting."
"Um... I meant to get some pickled cabbage to eat, since only pickled cabbage that's been stepped on is authentic."
"I give up, you're so unserious," Ino rolled her eyes.
Chapter 10: Cheat Code? ×, Genius? √
Ino sat up straight, not because she was worried that Yuuki would actually do something strange.
She was simply puzzled; how could Yuyue have become such a different person in such a short time?
"You've changed so much, it feels like your soul has been swapped."
Ino looked Yuuki up and down, her eyes full of doubt.
In the past, when the two of them were together, Yuzuki was always very reserved.
Ino mostly led the conversation, with Yuuki occasionally responding.
Such a proactive and relaxed atmosphere is truly unprecedented.
Shinomiya Yuuki grinned and said, half-jokingly:
"Actually, I've always been like this, but you were younger back then, and I was afraid that if I said it, the secret police would take you away."
Ino rolled her eyes and thought to herself: Nobody believes that. Who can keep up the act for ten years?
Only Yuuyue knew that this change stemmed from her confidence.
Before the days when there were no "cheat codes," he was a true bottom-of-the-class student.
Ino, on the other hand, is the pampered daughter of the Yamanaka family, a typical rich, beautiful, and accomplished young woman.
He knew Ino had feelings for him, but he had neither talent nor connections.
Why ruin someone's bright future?
But things are different now. With this "cheat code," it's safe to say that dominating the small ninja world is still within reach.
Therefore, when facing Ino, he naturally no longer felt awkward or uneasy.
"Alright, enough chit-chat, let's practice the basic Three-Body Techniques first."
Ino stood up and reached out to Yuuki, who was curled up on the sofa, wanting to help him up.
Yuuki smiled and extended a hand, placing it in Ino's palm. Then he suddenly said:
"Ino, watch."
Ino looked at him with a puzzled expression.
The next second, Yuuzuki began to form a hand seal with her other hand, her movements as fast as lightning!
A soft "bang"
A perfect clone appeared to the side
Ino was completely stunned.
She glanced at Yuuki's calm smile, then at the clone that looked exactly like Yuuki.
Speechless with shock
"One...one hand seal?"
To form a hand seal with one hand is something that requires an extremely high level of familiarity with a ninjutsu!
Wasn't Yuzuki always at the bottom of his class?
Suddenly, Ino felt a light tap on her shoulder.
She instinctively turned around
What came into view was Yuzuki's handsome smiling face.
"what?"
"What are you doing here? That..."
Ino turned her head and realized that the hand she was holding had somehow turned into a piece of wood.
Yuzuki on the sofa also disappeared.
"Substitution Jutsu? When was it used? I didn't even see the hand seals."
"Yuzuki, you..."
Ino turned around to ask what was going on, but found no one behind her.
Then, she felt a warm sensation in her palm, and she turned her head again.
The wood in her hand had vanished, and Yuyue's hand was back in hers.
Shinomiya Yuuki remained lying there, watching her with a sly smile.
"hiss--"
Ino abruptly pulled her hand back, rubbing her cheek in disbelief.
She was stunned; she actually saw Youyue transform into a genius proficient in the Three Bodies Technique!
"You know the clone technique, the substitution technique, and the transformation technique! And you're so skilled at them!"
Yu Yue raised an eyebrow and said smugly, "Of course."
He just spent a mere hundred gold coins to max out his proficiency in Transformation and Substitution Techniques.
"What are you so smug about!"
Ino slapped Yuuki on the forehead.
"Then why are you pretending to be a loser? Are you happy to be laughed at by everyone in class every day?!"
Yuzuki shrugged: "You've misunderstood. I was just considering Naruto's feelings."
"Naruto was already lonely, so I'm here to keep him company and make him less lonely. As for those who laugh at him, let them say what they want."
"When Naruto and I are remembered throughout the ninja world, they might still be lingering among unknown nobodies."
The existence of the chat group couldn't be revealed, so Yuzuki casually made up a seemingly reasonable excuse.
A genius who hides his talent from childhood is always more acceptable than a seemingly useless person who suddenly achieves great success.
Ino actually believed it.
She knew that Yuuki and Naruto had been best friends since childhood, but she never expected him to go to such lengths for Naruto...
She looked at Yuzuki, who was leisurely picking her nose.
An image of someone hiding their talent to avoid hurting their friend's self-esteem gradually became clear in her mind.
"I never knew you had such a thoughtful side," Ino said, somewhat touched.
"But is it worth it...sacrificing your reputation for a friend?"
Yuzuki sat up straight on the sofa and smiled easily:
Whether it's worth it or not, I know in my heart.
"Naruto, that kid, may seem carefree at times, but his dreams burn brighter than anyone else's."
"I was just shielding him from the ridicule and sarcasm before he truly shone."
“Furthermore,” Yuuki’s gaze deepened, “true powerhouses don’t care about temporary gains or losses.”
"I'm no longer the loser I used to be. It's time to show everyone my true strength."
