I'm in Konoha, and I have ten skill slots.

Naruto turned to look at Shigure, his eyes filled with a mixture of excitement and awe.

He hadn't expected Shigure to be so powerful, able to fight the Jonin teacher to a standstill, and even seeming to have ended in a draw.

This is too strong.

"Shigure, you were able to fight the teacher to such an extent, could you teach me swordsmanship?"

Upon hearing this, Shigure smiled and said, "Teaching you is no problem, but your chakra is most likely not of a specific type, so... you won't be able to learn it!"

Sasuke was about to speak when he saw that Shigure agreed, but he stopped when he heard the second half of Shigure's sentence.

He must be a fire-attribute ninja, so he probably... can't learn this swordsmanship.

"Alright, let's go have lunch first!"

"The mission starts tomorrow!"

As she spoke, Shigure walked directly into the village.

At the same time, open the skill bar.

[Great Sage: Analysis complete]

[Because the host does not possess the Sharingan, Lightning Release: Lightning Blade cannot be used.]

[Congratulations, host, you have acquired a new skill: Lightning Release]

Although he couldn't use Raikiri, Shigure had just unlocked the Lightning Release nature transformation through Kakashi's Raikiri.

Excellent!!! Chuan.

Chapter 66 Ice Release Test: The Ice and Snow World

"Want to eat? How about Shigure go for Ichiraku Ramen?"

Shigure pulled her gaze away from the system and looked at Naruto, who had extended an invitation to her.

"Okay!"

Looking back at Sasuke, who was about to leave, Shigure called out to him, "Sasuke, want to come along?"

Sasuke paused for a moment upon hearing this, then frowned.

"Then let's go together!"

Before Sasuke could answer, Shigure made the decision for him.

However, Sasuke did not dislike Shigure's actions.

To deal with this arrogant brat, you don't need to give him a choice; just make the choice for him.

Upon arriving at Ichiraku Ramen, Shigure said, "It's my treat, three bowls of ramen, please!"

Naruto, who was still calculating whether he had enough money to feed the three of them, laughed when he heard this.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony?"

"No problem, don't worry! I brought enough money for you to eat!"

After Shigure finished speaking, Naruto's eyes flashed with a terrifying light, as if he had transformed into an evil dragon.

Sasuke sat to Shigure's right, gazing at him.

"You're so strong, why don't you show it at all at school!"

Shi Yu smiled at this question.

"Why should you show it when you're in school!"

In reality, Shigure's changes only began in the last month or so, so there wasn't much of a chance for her to show off!

As graduation exams approached, we hadn't been tested on anything.

"You're trying to hide yourself? To avoid being noticed!" Sasuke said.

Shigure didn't understand why Sasuke thought that way.

"Hmph! You're clearly incredibly strong, but you don't show it at all, so no one notices you!"

Sasuke clenched his fist slightly. "But now I've noticed Shigure. I won't lose to you, and I'll catch up soon!"

Hearing this, Shigure nodded and gently patted Sasuke's shoulder. "I believe you can do it!"

As the reincarnation of Indra, Sasuke's speed in becoming stronger is also very fast.

"I should be the one who catches up with Shigure first!"

Naruto spoke at this moment.

Sasuke had no intention of arguing with Naruto. "We'll see!"

With just that one sentence, the two began to secretly compete with each other.

They've even started competing to see who can eat ramen the fastest.

Seeing the two people frantically inhaling, Shigure panicked a little.

Shigure probably knows Naruto's appetite. If it were just Naruto alone, Shigure wouldn't panic, but with Sasuke added in, it's a different story.

Are these two guys planning to eat themselves into bankruptcy?

……

After leaving Ichiraku Ramen, Shigure looked at his empty wallet with a sense of wanting to cry but having no tears.

Those two bastards, Shigure suspects they did it on purpose!

The days ahead are probably going to be tough!

"Hey!"

After sighing, Shigure walked out of the village.

Going outside the village was naturally for cultivation, even though he had already gained a preliminary understanding of his current combat strength.

The rain won't stop there.

I should be able to remain undefeated against Kakashi now.

So basically, the only enemies you need to be wary of are Kage-level ninjas.

But that's not enough.

I need to become stronger.

Upon arriving at the small waterfall, Shigure unfastened the ninja sword from his waist and casually stuck it into a nearby rock.

He then jumped onto a boulder in the middle of the river.

Raise your hand to begin forming a hand seal.

"It's been hanging there all day, let's see how powerful Ice Release: Freezing Time is!"

Ice Release activated!

Within a few breaths, everything within a radius of nearly forty meters began to rapidly condense frost.

And gradually a layer of solid ice appeared.

Its power has increased significantly, and the freezing range has reached a precise forty meters.

Not bad!

You've made progress again.

Shigure thawed from the ice and then looked in the direction of the ninja sword Zangetsu.

I am about fifteen meters away from the Ninja Sword Zangetsu.

Shigure formed a hand seal with one hand while his gaze was fixed intently on the ninja sword.

The next second, a layer of frost instantly covered the ninja sword, and then visible ice crystals appeared continuously from bottom to top.

The ninja sword was frozen in three seconds, and frost quickly formed on the ground around the sword's location.

In less than ten seconds, everything within a forty-meter radius was gradually frozen again.

Shigure nodded with satisfaction after dispelling the ninjutsu.

"Not bad! At a distance of fifteen meters, the freezing moment can instantly cover the target object with frost. Anyone who reacts a little slower will only struggle for a moment before being frozen directly."

"Then next up is... Ice Release: Ice and Snow World!"

Shigure closed his eyes and simultaneously switched the two Ice Release ninjutsu from his skill bar to Ice Release...

Then, using Ice Release will be possible without consuming any resources.

The rain maintained its frozen state, and the ice crystals within a forty-meter radius would not melt.

And the next second!

His eyes snapped open, and the icy world activated.

An invisible wave of chakra erupted, and the surrounding ice froze even more intensely, while countless snowflakes emerged.

It drifted down from the sky.
