Konoha: The young son-in-law of the Hyuga family

under the venomous sun,

It is rare for an old cat today to be carried home by Ryosuke without being tempered to the point of passing out during cultivation.

Instead, he consciously walked with him on the road home,

Although the pace is a bit staggering, it is still normal, and even a little cheerful,

He seemed very satisfied with his performance today.

And when the two arrived at home, the butler A Liang had already prepared all kinds of lunches on the table in the dining hall. Some can't wait.

With a bruised nose and swollen face, the old cat quickly jumped onto his baby seat.

But just picked up the bowl and chopsticks, looking at the empty dining table, he seemed a little unaccustomed, "It seems... a bit deserted."

He and Ryosuke are the only ones left on this lively dining table.

"No way, they all have their own things to do."

Ryosuke replied casually.

As the patriarch of Hinata, his father certainly doesn't have a lot of free time for such a big event in the ninja world recently.

Early in the morning, he was called to the Hokage Building for the third discussion meeting.

Even if he himself is unwilling to participate in this kind of thing, he has no intention of launching more actions with Konoha at all, but his father is still Hinata's patriarch after all, and Hinata's roots are temporarily in Konoha, so he has to show his face and watch.

Therefore, Hinata not only has to prepare for the assessment of early graduation, but also helps to keep an eye on the affairs of the family.

Although the clan elders help to resolve matters in the clan, as the heir of Hyuga Nichizu, she still has to make first-hand decisions on many things, screen out completely unreasonable solutions, and wait for her father to be free. Make the final decision.

Even Hanabi, the youngest in the family, is going to study at the ninja school.

All of a sudden, only the two of them are the most leisurely people in the family.

But in fact, Ryosuke himself is quite used to it. It is not the first time he has experienced it when he is like this person.

Like before, he often asked for leave alone to practice penance at home, so he could easily adapt to this boring and lonely life.

"Really……"

The old cat nodded, but didn't say anything else, and silently filled its stomach with the delicious food on the table.

Both of them ate quietly, and neither of them spoke.

The lunch was quickly finished in this peaceful atmosphere, and after the end, the old cat went back to his room to rest skillfully.

Ryosuke was also preparing to go back to his room.

Continuous high-intensity fighting consumes a lot. If it is an ordinary person, such a concentrated and full-strength entanglement will weaken within a few minutes.

The old cat can persist like this every day, relying on his own talent and will,

Of course, the old cat's will was forced by Ryosuke.

As for Ryosuke himself, although he didn't exert his full strength, it was also because he had to observe his physical condition while exercising the old cat, so he put in a lot of energy.

"Master Ryosuke."

But just when Liangjie passed by the courtyard and was about to return to his room from the corridor, the voice of housekeeper A Liang sounded from the door of the inner courtyard, "There is news from the clan to report."

News from the family?

Ryosuke paused, and looked at Ah Liang who was sending the message.

"A Jōnin is waiting at the gate of the outer courtyard. Without your consent, I did not invite you in."

A Liang quickly explained.

"it is good."

Ryosuke nodded, seemed to remember something, and walked towards the outer courtyard.

After so many days, it's time for another devil fruit to be delivered, right?

Thinking so in his heart, when he walked to the outer courtyard, a clansman wearing a ninja forehead was standing solemnly at the gate of the outer courtyard.

"Master Ryosuke."

Respectful words came from the mouth of the ninja.

And in his hand, he was holding a small exquisite wooden box in the palm of both hands, and delivered it to Liangjie, "According to the mission instruction of the patriarch, after the kinder auction house auctioned this fruit, I will supervise the packaging and escort the wooden box. When the box returned to the village, it was directly handed over to you after returning, without passing through the hands of a third person."

Come to think of it, what was contained in that wooden box should be the devil fruit I just talked about.

"Thanks for your hard work, Sosa Jominin."

Ryosuke glanced at the situation in the wooden box with his translucent white eyes, and a smile appeared on his face.

On the other side of him, Hinata Cano seemed very excited, straightened his body and shouted proudly: "Everything is for Hinata!"

He can also be regarded as the group of people in the clan who have been in contact with the center of power, and he is also very clear about the increasing status of Hyuga in Konoha, in the country of fire, and in the ninja world.

He was even more excited when he came into contact with this rumored family legend head-on, and it was difficult to suppress the emotions surging in his heart.

"Well! Everything is for Hinata!"

Ryosuke replied with a smile, "As for the reward for this mission, I will let Xingcai Jonin deliver it to you later."

"I don't need a bounty, I can..."

Cang Zuo Jonin tried his best to show his loyalty and will, but before he could finish speaking, Ryosuke interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"One yard counts for one yard. Although you are doing something for the family, since it is a task, there must be rewards."

Looking at him gently, Ryosuke's voice is like a spring breeze, which makes people feel comfortable, "They all belong to the same family, so I won't say too much if I'm polite, I have other things to do, so..."

"I understand, then I will leave first."

Hinata Sosa nodded and left excitedly.

Is this the person who will take this fruit next?Looks good.

He kept looking at his back until the other party disappeared from his eyes, then Ryosuke turned around with a smile.

The Hinata Sosuke whom I just met is one of the suitable candidates selected by Hinata Nichizu,

Whether it is loyalty or strength, they are worthy of these devil fruits.

In order to test his loyalty more, Hyuga Hyuzu had already explained the origin and ability of these fruits when he sent him to take photos of the fruits and escort them.

A devil fruit that is enough to make an ordinary person directly become a Chunin, and it also has the ability to make a Jonin to a higher level.

This temptation is not low, and the whole task is completed by him personally, if he wants to be malicious, he has enough time.

This is a small test. Although it may not be accurate, it is not redundant.

After all, although the original plan to clean up the internal troubles was quite effective, it is still unknown whether there are any fish that slipped through the net. Even Ryosuke doesn't know if there are any former traitors in the family.

But if among the people selected by Hinata Hyuzu, there is really a remnant internal strife, then the temptation of this devil fruit will definitely be much greater than others.

At that time, if someone really takes this fruit and flies away, the family will immediately send someone to clean it up.

Although it is a bit of a loss to catch a family borer with one fruit, it is still worthwhile for long-term development.

And if everyone honestly sends back the fruits according to the content of the test, then Liangjie and the others don't mind giving them the fruits so that they can add a fighting force to the family.

A small test, no matter which of the two paths these people choose, it is not a loss for Ryosuke and the others.

Stepping directly to the study, Ryosuke put the wooden box containing the devil fruit in the dark compartment that had been prepared.

This time he will not just find a place and leave it like last time.

After finishing the Devil Fruit carefully, Ryosuke turned around and left the study.

He didn't open the wooden box to check or study the fruit inside. His recent test on the old cat still has some results.

For example, he has figured out that he has no way to identify the ability of the devil fruit except for observing the physical changes of the user after taking the fruit.

He can't research anything without destroying the fruit,

However, it is not yet such a luxury to destroy the devil fruit for research, so it is meaningless for Ryosuke to stay here.

When I came outside, less than 10 minutes had passed since the lunch break started.

Usually, after lunch, Liang Jie would give the old cat a rest time of about half an hour, but today he didn't plan to give him such a long rest time, or in other words, he didn't plan to in the future.

"Wake up."

Like a devil's call, Ryosuke just came to the old cat's house, knocked on the door and opened it.

inside,

The old cat, who was still lying quietly on the bed, jumped up with a swish, and instinctively made a gesture of fighting back.

And after seeing Liangjie standing at the door, he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead again in a daze.

"Boss, why do I feel like I just fell asleep? Has time passed so quickly?"

For the rest time, the old cat cherishes every moment very much, but today he instinctively noticed that the time seemed to pass a bit too fast.

Glancing at the clock in the room, Ryosuke reported to him with a chuckle: "No, it's just been 9 minutes and 28 seconds."

"That……"

The old cat was a little puzzled.

"Unfortunately, I adjusted the lunch break time." Ryosuke explained, "Because I feel that your progress in practice seems to be a little too slow. In order for you to become a talent as soon as possible, I decided to spend more time with you. Be polite to me."

"I……"

The old cat put on an ugly smile, and was about to bargain, but faced Ryosuke's gaze, he swallowed silently.

The two left the main house one after the other,

Feeling the grievance in the heart of the old cat following behind, Ryosuke said helplessly, "I have something I need you to do in a while, and then I will give you a month's vacation. No matter when you complete the task, within a month return."

"real?!"

The old cat raised his head in surprise, and couldn't believe the sudden freedom.

"of course."

Ryosuke explained, "This task is quite difficult for you now, but there is still a chance to complete it, but I still want to take advantage of this spare time to teach you more lessons, so as not to overturn the boat in the gutter and let me down. your expectations."

In fact, the progress of Lao Mao's practice is already faster than that of ordinary people.

In just over a week, he has already begun to have the strength to fight against Chunin.

But unfortunately, it is still far from the goal in his heart...

...

"Actually... I seem to have touched something else recently."

Come to Hinata's training ground,

Liang Jie was just about to do it directly, but the old cat standing opposite him suddenly said something.

"Oh?"

He stopped his movements, and looked at the old cat with some doubts, and then his relaxed eyes became serious.

"It was the feeling that rose in my body when you almost broke my skull with a punch last night."

Simply talking about the injury that he had never thought of before, the old cat felt inexplicably sad, "It hurts, it hurts very much. Boss, your fist can always make me feel different degrees of pain."

"Whenever I want to get used to the strength of your fist, you can always improve the strength faster, making me unable to adapt to the pain."

"In order not to hurt so much, I can only observe your movements and learn your skills very hard, but you are like a moving street sign. No matter how I chase after you, you will always be in front of me..."

No kidding, old cats sometimes feel that it would be more comfortable for them to die as a cat, at least they don't have to bear the pain now.

And... in the face of this kind of torture, he has no way to arouse resentment, because this is what he voluntarily owes and what he owes.

There is no way, he can only try his best to satisfy Ryosuke, and try his best to regain his freedom.

And as the old cat explained his inner changes at that time, his body gradually changed, whether it was external or internal.

The old cat tried hard to recall the pain he felt when he was injured, and the intense sense of crisis prompted the rapid development of the ability of the devil fruit and promoted the rapid growth of the body.

Although Ryosuke will hold back every time he guides him to practice, so as not to kill him in the test, but his serious injury is real,

Although these injuries can be cured for him, the pain he felt during this process is absolutely heart-piercing, and if Ryosuke is not satisfied, this pain will continue!

To be honest, this feeling is worse than death!

At least death is just a temporary pain.

But during this kind of test and training, the old cat felt that Ryosuke was holding a blunt knife stuck on his neck and sawing hard, just like sawing wood.

And every time, when the trunk of his big tree was about to break and collapse completely, Liang Jie would help him heal, repair the cracked place, and then continue sawing!

It's torture!

Although the old cat can feel that he is getting stronger in this process, but this kind of torture really makes people feel a little broken.

So much so that he inexplicably felt a new change under the emotion of fear!

鏉ヤ 钖楋纻

As if expected, Ryosuke was not surprised by the change of the old cat, but looked forward to it.

In his body, there is no energy substance to promote this change, but the old cat's body is obviously changing.

The use of devil fruit ability is not like ninja art, there are visible energy substances such as chakra to support the release and consumption of the ability, but the energy in the body or physical strength is used to maintain the use.

It is like a repeater, it can give the ability user special abilities, and the corresponding price is that it will draw and consume the ability user's physical strength in the process of using the ability.

But now this kind of change in the old cat is not consuming his physical strength, but increasing his upper limit of physical strength!

His figure gradually grew taller, and his already strong body swelled and bulged again,

Strips of blue veins emerge on the strong and thick arms like tree roots,

Standing there, the old cat no longer had the short and sturdy appearance before, but turned into a real orc, a "little giant" with a height of two meters!

Transform!One of the special abilities of the animal devil fruit!
