Naruto: After traveling through time, I became the disciple of the first generation

Chapter 1778: Taking and Reflecting

"Dad, I heard you're going to work in the mountains after you recover? Why aren't you pursuing your ninja dream anymore?"

Hinata Yuan coughed after hearing this: "Haha...you kid, are you still thinking about this? This is just your father's dream, not reality."

"The reality is that my father needs to take care of our family's livelihood. He has to have enough food and clothing before he can think about other things."

"Also, you have a much brighter future than your father. You are the only hope for our family's future, so your father will fully support your dream."

Hinata Yuan looked at his dazed son and placed his hand on his head. "Of course, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Even if it doesn't work out, the worst that can happen is that you can just live an ordinary life like your father. That's fine too."

But Taro shook his head: "Father, I want to pursue my dream of becoming a ninja. I don't want to live a dull life."

This sentence made Hinata Yuan smile: "Very good, since you have such a dream, then father must support it."

Just then, his wife came back from getting firewood. Hinata Yuan glanced at his wife, and she immediately understood what he meant.

She took the wooden box from her arms and handed it to her husband.

Hinata Yuan adjusted his sitting posture, which made Taro a little puzzled.

"Stand in the middle of the room and stand straight."

Upon hearing his father's order, Taro immediately followed it and stood in the middle of the room.

"Son, our family hasn't had a good life since our father was injured."

"But now, our family is under the care of Master Qufeng. Father has been assigned to work in the mountains. We will never have to worry about food and drink in the future. Master Qufeng has also paved a path for you on your journey to becoming a ninja."

Taro was a little confused after hearing this: "What? Master Qufeng paved the way for me?"

Hinata Yuan no longer kept the suspense and directly opened the wooden box.

A refreshing fragrance instantly filled the entire room.

Taro saw a glowing plant in the box in his father's hand.

This was the first time he had seen such a magical thing and he had no idea what it was.

"This is a chakra herb. Master Qufeng said that taking it will increase your cultivation talent and chakra. You won't have any obstacles before you become a Kage-level ninja!"

"As for Kage-level ninja, as long as you are willing to work hard, it is not difficult to achieve it!"

Taro was completely shocked after hearing what his father said. He really didn't know how to describe his current mood.

"Father... t-is this true?! Then I can have a brighter future!"

Hinata Yuan looked at his excited son and he was also very happy.

Over the years, there was little he could do for his son. Even teaching his son would be a bit difficult for him given his ability, because Taro was so talented.

And now, he, as a father, can finally exert his strength, although he has to rely on the power of Lord Qufeng.

"That's right. If you take this chakra herb and practice diligently, you will definitely become a pillar of your family and Konoha Village in the future!"

Such a great temptation is simply fatal for children of this age. Even adults can rarely refuse it, let alone children.

But Taro asked, "Father, this was actually given to you by Master Qufeng, right? It's for you to fulfill your dream of becoming a ninja."

Hinata Yuan shook his head: "The help that Master Qufeng gave to my father was to get a job in the factory in the back mountain. I have been disabled for so many years and have been eliminated from the ninja society. There is no possibility of returning."

"But you are different. You are still a flower and will definitely shine in the future. So don't think too much. This chakra herb is yours."

With Hinata Gen's constant encouragement and guidance, Taro slowly walked forward and took the chakra plant.

"This is a treasure. Go back to your room and eat it to improve your talent. Don't ever mention it to anyone again!"

Taro naturally knew about this matter. He followed his father's instructions, returned to the room and immediately ate the glowing herb.

A sweet taste spread in his mouth, then went down his esophagus and seeped into his limbs.

Streams of heat continued to surge through his body, increasing the strength of his cells and his own chakra storage.

During this process, he just felt his body was heavy and hot.

There was no pain at all. The overall feeling was like taking a hot spring bath, which was quite comfortable.

When Taro opened his eyes again, his mother was watching him.

"Taro, are you awake? How are you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Taro stood up and flexed his fists and feet, but didn't feel any discomfort.

"Mom, I don't feel unwell at all. I even feel very energetic. This chakra herb is amazing!"

A small blade of grass can change a person's talent and even the fate of a family.

This magical thing must have been given by Lord Qufeng after careful consideration.

Taro has already decided that if Lord Qufeng needs him in the future, he will definitely go through fire and water for him!

"Chakra increased?"

Seeing his mother's expectant eyes, Taro nodded heavily: "Yes! Mother! I can now have the chakra of a Genin! Maybe I can apply to graduate from the Ninja Academy."

Taro is only eight years old now and has just attended the ninja school for two years. He can only be awarded the title of Genin after graduating at the age of twelve.

However, there are some gifted ninjas who already possess the strength of a Genin, and naturally obtain the title of Genin after applying for graduation.

Now eight years old, Taro already has Genin chakra, which is barely qualified, but he is not so good in other aspects.

Including the village history, ninjutsu, and taijutsu, none of them have reached the standards, so the application for graduation will probably be rejected.

When the mother saw Taro's appearance, she couldn't help but hit him on the head with the small wooden stick in her hand.

"Look at you, your tail is up in the air. How did your father teach you that?"

Taro recovered immediately after hearing this, and the increase in chakra made him a little too proud of himself.

"You're still applying for graduation. Have you learned all three body techniques? Can you use them proficiently? Are you good at physical techniques? What's your level of soft fist?"

His mother's questioning completely shattered Taro's last bit of pride.

Yes, he is still a very weak student and is far from meeting the standards of a Genin.

"Don't let pride cloud your mind. This chakra was given to you by Master Qufeng to make your future path smoother, not for you to use like this."

After hearing this, Taro immediately bowed to his mother and apologized: "Mom, I know I was wrong. I lost my mind for a moment. I won't do it again."
