Path of the Giants of the Autumn Path of the Leaf

"no response?"

Ten minutes later, Akimichi Shuijing froze on the spot, his palms already numb.

"Why are you not responding?" Shiina Rin stood up, stretched out refreshed, and patted Akimichi Shuijing's head.

"I didn't expect your massage skills to be quite good. I'm very impressed. Let's go. The rest is over and we're almost on our way."

After saying that, Shiina Rin jumped away with a satisfied look on her face.

Akimichi Shuijing, who stayed in place, looked confused. In the system's task panel, the completion degree of the bond between the two was still 0.

"It shouldn't be!" Qiudao Shuijing muttered.

Seeing that the team was preparing to set off again, he had no choice but to put away his disappointed mood, shake his sore palms, and continue on his way.

The first attempt failed, and Akimichi Shuijing couldn't help but start to wonder if it was because the method was too direct.

Such a tough way to enhance the relationship between master and disciple is almost the same as licking a dog.Although this method is simple and direct, it can only come to nothing in the end.

"Tsk, no wonder they say that licking a dog will not kill him." Qiu Dao Shuijing had a clear understanding in his heart that this direction was wrong.

"Even if you keep consuming it, you will be the one who is exhausted in the end. No, you have to find another way!"

What Akimichi Shuijing didn't notice was that while he was concentrating on analysis, Shiina Rin glanced at him while he was rushing by.There was a trace of inexplicable reluctance and hesitation in his eyes, which disappeared in an instant.

Perhaps because they were deep in the hinterland of Konoha Forest, the team's speed became much faster.

Among the team, only Akimichi Suikage is still a genin, and it is obvious that he is already struggling.However, the team did not slow down to take care of the newcomers, but continued to move forward.

Shiina Rin on the side did not make a sound, turning a blind eye to Akimichi Suikage's increasingly heavier breathing.

The gulf-like gap between the jounin and the genin was instantly revealed. The Ackerman card gave Akimichi Suijing combat experience, but it could not make up for his shortcomings in physical strength.

Ackerman's baptism only purified his body and raised the upper limit of his body, but it did not directly fill up Akimichi Shuijing's physical strength.

To put it simply, each person has a different upper limit of physical strength depending on their physique. The more powerful the person, the upper limit of physical strength must be very high.

This upper limit is innate and determines the height that can be reached the day after tomorrow.

Just like Metkai, even though he is just as accomplished in ninjutsu.But in terms of physical skills, his innate upper limit is very high.This upper limit determines whether it can bear his acquired efforts.

He can keep working hard because his physical talent is high enough and his hard work will not let him down.

Even Kakashi said that Metkai was a genius in the true sense.If placed in fairy novels, Metkai would be the kind of ordinary person without spiritual roots.But he can practice horizontally, use martial arts to enter the Tao, and push the immortals in the sky horizontally.

Before Ackerman's baptism, Akimichi Shuijing's body was also weak.

This is a series of problems caused by congenital and without systematic training at a young age.But fortunately, Ackerman's baptism swept away the problems of Akimichi Suijing and essentially gave him an almost marrow-cleansing transformation.

There is a treasure house hidden in his body, waiting for Akimichi Suikage to develop.

Akimichi Shuijing also knew this very well, so even though he was almost squeezing out all his energy on the way.But he still insisted on rushing on, gritting his teeth to keep up with the team's progress.

The team does not need him to maintain physical security before sneaking into the Kingdom of Forest.

This is a mission trip, and it is also a life-threatening trial for Shuijing Akimichi.

The strong will only become stronger.The weak will be left behind and become abandoned.

The journey lasted from morning to afternoon. When the team stopped again, Akimichi Mizukyou almost lost consciousness.His body stood there like a zombie, and every time he took a breath, his throat felt like he had swallowed a mouthful of lava.

Akimichi Shuijing even felt that his lungs were completely damaged and he was numb from the pain.My legs felt like weights weighing a thousand pounds, and the soreness was almost covered up by the swelling.

From a distance, Akimichi Shuijing watched Shiina Rin walking over with a kettle.

"Open your mouth." Shiina Rin said nothing nonsense and planned to feed him water directly.

After realizing it was Shiina Rin, Akimichi Suikage opened his mouth in a very cooperative manner.Shiina Rin placed the edge of the kettle against his lips and poured some water to moisten his lips and mouth.

Then he slowly fed the water to Akimichi Shuijing little by little. Each time he fed water, he couldn't feed too much at once, but Shiina Rin still repeated this process tirelessly.

Akimichi Mizukyou could hardly move her whole body, and could only look at Shiina Rin sideways from the corner of her eye.

Seeing her careful and patient look, Akimichi Shuijing was almost moved to death, wondering why this sinister and evil woman was so abnormal.

If she were asked to complete her third task, she would definitely finish it in minutes.Akido Shuijing sighed. He suddenly realized that he was too easily moved and was almost deceived by the bad woman's tricks.

In order to prevent herself from falling under the teacher's wire skirt, Akimichi Shuijing told herself silently in her heart.

"This guy looks pink, but when you cut it open, it's completely black."

After the water feeding was over, Shiina Rin patted his shoulder gently, turned around and left again.

Looking at Shiina Rin's relaxed back, Akimichi Shuikage wanted to say thank you, but couldn't.It's like there's something stuck in my heart and I can't speak.

After a short break, the team set off again.

This time, the team passed directly through the Konoha Forest and reached the plain before nightfall.As long as you gallop along the plains, you will soon reach a mountain range and enter the border of the Kingdom of Forests.

After entering the plain, the team's speed picked up again.

Akimichi Shuijing, whose body was numb, was almost gritting his teeth and struggling to hold on. Every minute and every second of the journey was a squeeze to the limit of his physical strength.

It was painful, but he still didn't stop.

The stubborn spirit did not receive any applause, and the team was completely silent, as if everyone was walking in parallel time and space.

Only Shiina Rin occasionally communicated with Akimichi Suikage, and the others seemed not to have said a word from beginning to end.Get on your way!Get on your way!Everyone is like a cold and efficient machine.

This atmosphere is not like Anbu, but rather like... Roots?

Forget it, what are you thinking about?

Akimichi Shuijing laughed to himself inwardly. His already numb body could only move mechanically, and he could no longer express any expression on his face.

The moonlight fell over the plains, and the gauze-like light shrouded the entire vast land.

The scene in front of him became increasingly clear, as if separated by a layer of water.Akidao Shuijing ran forward numbly. The moment he stepped out again, his body suddenly clicked.

It was as if a switch had been turned on, and power was flowing back into his body bit by bit.
