"You've been playing around with all these messy things lately. Have you been a lot lazy in your recent practice?"
After glancing around the house, Liuli sounded dissatisfied.
In her opinion, Shiraishi's bizarre research was just a waste of time.
"It's just a personal interest. I actually prefer doing research to practicing."
With that said, Shiraishi picked up a small bag from the table and threw it to Liuli.
After Liuli took it, he frowned.
"What's in here?"
"Good stuff, it's my specially made Bingliang Pills. The efficiency of restoring chakra and physical strength is better than those on the market, and it's easy to digest and won't put a load on the human digestive system."
Bingliangwan has the effect of restoring physical strength and chakra, and has always been an emergency food that ninjas often eat when they are out on missions.
However, due to the bitter and unpleasant herbal taste, many people are not willing to take Bingliang Pills to solve the problem of insufficient physical strength and chakra unless absolutely necessary.
Coupled with the fact that it is not easy to digest, eating too much can easily cause indigestion in the human body.
"boast."
Liuli snorted, but still put the bag filled with special military ration pills into the ninja tool bag tied to her leg.
"Why do you want to make Bing Liang Pills?"
"Because you can't wait to graduate from ninja school. You just need it."
Shiraishi said with an expression that saw everything through.
Liuli glanced at Baishi but said nothing.
Shiraishi paused and then continued to ask: "By the way, when do you plan to graduate?"
Liuli replied: "Although your guess is very reasonable, it is a pity that you guessed wrong this time."
"guessed wrong?"
A faint smile appeared on Liuli's face and she said: "Yes, I personally would like to graduate from school early, but the elders in the family are not happy for me to do so. Graduation at this time means going to the frontline battlefield. For a newcomer, For genin, the mortality rate is very high."
Shiraishi understood, nodded and said: "I see, out of the protection of geniuses, just graduate naturally. There is no need to complete your studies in advance. This is a natural result."
Once you graduate from school, it means saying goodbye to your comfortable days.
Normal graduation requires six years of study at the ninja school.
Now Shiraishi and Liuli are only third-year students, and they still have a few years to consolidate and grow before graduating normally.
It is not ruled out that there are geniuses in the ninja school who think they are outstanding and graduate early, and then are arranged to go to the frontline battlefield.
Shiraishi believes that the upper echelons of Konoha should have set a rule that children under the age of ten are not allowed to graduate from ninja school early during the war...
But thinking about it this way, Shiraishi knew that he had taken it for granted.
During the Warring States Period, it was common for children as young as four or five to go to the battlefield.
Although the situation in the ninja world is a little better now, it is still not uncommon for children under the age of ten to go to the battlefield.
After graduating from the ninja school, they are already qualified ninjas and cannot be treated as children.
But in this way, their values will have more or less problems, and they will easily go on the path of extremes.
"Liu Li, the elder of your family wouldn't want you to graduate as a ninja again, would he?"
Shiraishi suddenly noticed something.
Ruri, who is already eight years old, already possesses the strength of a chuunin. In a few years, if she works hard, she may not be able to achieve the strength of a jounin.
Of course, he may be lacking in combat experience, but his ninjutsu and basic abilities are definitely not lacking.
Liuli received elite teaching from the Uchiha clan since she was a child.
At the starting line, he was already a long way ahead of the civilian ninjas.
After graduation, experience can be slowly accumulated, but the lower limit of strength is very important for fledgling ninjas.
The more strength you have on the battlefield, the more chance you have of survival.
When Liuli heard what Baishi said, she immediately rolled her eyes at him.
Does this guy think Jonin is a cabbage on the street?
The gap between jounin and chunin is wider than the gap between chunin and genin.
The so-called jounin are ninjas who are excellent in one or several fields.
Even though Liuli is arrogant, she dare not say that she can improve a certain field to the level where she can become a master in the next few years.
The Jounin selection is simply not comparable to the difficulty of the Chuunin selection.
After chatting for a while at Shiraishi's house, at six o'clock in the evening, the two went to the Ichiraku Ramen shop to eat ramen and solve the dinner problem before saying goodbye and leaving.

"Sorry, something suddenly happened over there, so I came a little late."
In the dense forest behind the school, it was already dark at this time.
The person who agreed to meet Shiraishi here was Ayane.
Two years later, she has also changed from a first-year student to a third-year student, and is a little taller than before.
Hearing the voice coming from behind, Ayane, who had her hands intertwined behind her back, slowly turned around.
She wore a white dress with the crest of the Hyuga clan and dark blue trousers. She had long straight black hair that reached her waist. There were no impurities in her pure white pupils. The smile on her face gave people a kind of... The beautiful feeling of brightness and innocence.
"It doesn't matter, I just arrived not long ago. But Shiraishi-kun probably delayed a little time because of Liuli. Sometimes I really envy her."
Although the Uchiha clan has always been vigorous and resolute in their work style because they are in charge of Konoha's security force, giving people a sense of arrogance and domineering, and coupled with their clan's excessive emphasis on strength, they have offended many ninjas and civilians, but At least this family is not as ruthless and cold-blooded as the Hyuga clan, who would keep their own people as slaves.
Because of this, Ayane, who also came from a wealthy family, was very envious of Ruri's free personality and life.
It would be nice if she was born into the Uchiha clan.
"Yeah, she lectured me again."
Shiraishi scratched his head in slight distress.
"Don't say that. I think it's just proof of your friendly relationship."
Ayane smiled. Although she had no contact with Shiraishi on the surface since that incident, she secretly knew everything about Shiraishi.
For example, his hidden strength has reached the chuunin level.
He has a very close relationship with Ruri, the Uchiha genius.
He also secretly conducted some experiments with unknown purposes.
His sense of belonging to the village is almost zero, and he is considering leaving the village and becoming a rebel ninja in the near future.
As the communication between the two deepened, Shiraishi did not hide these things from Ayane.
Shiraishi believes that since they are partners, they should be honest with each other.
At least he should reveal part of his plan and purpose to Ayane to make her feel at ease.
"Yeah." Shiraishi felt that the time for private contact was limited and he couldn't dwell too much on this kind of thing, so he got straight to the point and said, "Is there nothing going on over there?"
"No, after all, I am just an insignificant member of the branch family. The Zong family will not waste too much energy on people like me."
The words that were originally meant to be self-deprecating turned out to be very bland when they came out of Ayane's mouth.
Two years later, she has naturally been able to control her fluctuating anger a little.
Despite this, there was still a hint of sadness and sigh hidden in her pure white pupils.
With that said, Ayane took out a small package from her ninja bag, wrapped it in a cloth belt, and placed it in Shiraishi's hand.
"Thanks a lot."
Shiraishi took the package and said softly.
"This is what I should do, but just studying blood shouldn't be enough, right?"
Ayane asked this question.
As the experiments become more and more formalized, Shiraishi has begun to embark on more weighty experiments.
Studying blood is an important link.
The blood is Ayane's own, and also belongs to other branch members of the Hyuga clan.
These are all precious materials that Ayane carefully collected.
Because both Ayane and Shiraishi understand one thing. If they leave Konoha in the future, they must break the seal of the caged bird and let Ayane regain her freedom.
Otherwise, once Ayane's identity as a traitor is confirmed, the clan members will definitely use spells to kill Ayane on the spot.
It was this part of the experiment that Shiraishi wanted to do.
Unlock the caged bird curse seal used by the Hyuga clan to control the branch families, allowing Ayane to regain her freedom.
If you think about it carefully, Baishi's current ability can be said to be impossible.
It seems that he can see Ayane's hidden worries. After all, this is a matter of life and death. Shiraishi understands Ayane's nervous and uneasy mentality.
"Blood is only one of the conditions for getting it, but it is not something that must be used. How to unlock the curse seal of the caged bird, the answer does not lie here."
Shiraishi just planned to use the blood collected by Ayane to make some comparisons to obtain more accurate data and find a very small entry point.
If one could obtain the secrets of the Hyuga clan just by studying blood, it would be looking down on the blood-stained ninja clan that has been passed down for many years.
"Besides, we can't get more materials now. We can only wait and work slowly in the future."
Hearing Shiraishi say this, Ayane felt relieved.
She had already tried her best to collect this blood. As for the complete human body materials, she knew without even thinking about it that she would definitely end up failing and being arrested.
"It's almost time, let's separate here. If you stay any longer, someone might notice you."
Shiraishi is worried that the news of his secret contact with Ayane will be exposed. In that case, not only Ayane, but also himself will be thoroughly investigated.
It would undoubtedly be very troublesome if things turned out like that.
