Naruto: Lama Tobi was exposed by the sky curtain

[Shiranui Ai: You're right. This girl hardly ever thinks about anything; she's a bit silly. Her simple personality makes it easier for her to blend into nature.]

[Shiranui Ye: Hehe, no, I'm not that good.]

[Ai Shiranui: I wasn't complimenting you.]

[Kushina Uzumaki: That shouldn't be the case. Haru is experiencing the same thing, so why does she seem to be finding it so difficult too?]

[Shiranui Ai: No, Haru just looks silly, but she's not actually silly. This can be seen from her mother's genes.]

[Minato Namikaze: That's true. Naruko may be a bit carefree, but she's also very clever and quick-witted.]

[Yakura: What do you mean? So you're saying I'm... stupid?]

[Luo Sha: What do you think?]

[Yakura: Rasa, you're finished!]

[Luo Sha: I was finished.]

[Yakura:......]

I forgot I killed this guy a long time ago. How about I resurrect him like in the video and turn him into a gold-digging machine?

Luo Sha in the Pure Land couldn't help but shiver, a very ominous premonition creeping into his heart.

[Screen continues...]

Two days have passed, but the three of them still haven't made any progress. Xiao Ye has long since run off to play in the sandpit.

Seeing this, Ning Ye also rubbed his forehead.

"It seems this tactic doesn't work for them."

Actually, apart from Xiao Ye, everyone else had tried to integrate with nature before.

Xiao Kong is a single-minded person, and entering a meditative state is very easy for him, so he quickly mastered the basics.

Xiao Wu is cunning and resourceful, but she is good at hiding and disguising herself. With her exceptional illusion skills, she can hypnotize herself to a certain extent, allowing her to clear her mind and learn the basics very quickly.

Xiao Ai has an exceptionally high IQ and successfully deciphered how to empty her mind of brainwave signals. She quickly mastered the technique by micro-manipulating the bioelectrical signals within her body, but unfortunately, only she can use this method.

However, the three of them pursued different paths in their cultivation, resulting in significant differences.

Seeing how difficult it was for Xiao Qing and the other two to cultivate, Ning Ye had no choice but to resort to the simplest and most direct method.

So he used a water whip, made of 100% pure natural energy, to continuously train the three of them, making them scream for several days in a row.

The three were covered in wounds from being whipped, but Ning Ye did not comfort them. Instead, he urged them, "Pay attention to the natural energy on your wounds. Don't drive it away. Try to integrate it into your own body's energy."

Xiao Ye watched with great interest from the side, and even created a natural energy water whip to join Ning Ye's teaching.

…………

After more than half a month of "encouragement," the three of them finally reached the entry level of natural energy.

"Hmm, very good. It seems that this simple and direct method is the most effective."

When the three heard him say that, they had no way to express their grievances or refute him.

Xiao Wu chimed in, not one to shy away from stirring things up, saying, "So that's why I haven't seen you guys around these past few days. You've been going on that special training."

“Dad, you’re being too polite. I could have easily given them some encouragement and motivation.”

Ning Ye looked at this heartless kid speechlessly and said, "If you let me teach them, wouldn't you make Xiao Qing and the others suffer every day?"

Xiao Wu's eyes widened instantly, and she retorted, "Good heavens, Dad, is my image in your heart that of a demon?"

Ning Ye didn't reply to him, just waiting to see what kind of nice things he could come up with.

Xiao Wu continued, "At most, I can use natural energy to conjure up mountains of knives and seas of fire. After they've gone through those, I'll sprinkle some cumin on their wounds. Once the wounds are almost healed, I'll put them in a wok of oil and stir-fry chili peppers and pepper powder to train them..."

"..."x4

Are you sure you didn't cook them all together as one dish?

He described in detail everything from casting the bronze bull with natural energy, to the water-drop torture, and the cycle of wounds healing and then reopening.

Everyone in the ninja world broke out in a cold sweat after reading Xiao Wu's words.

[Ibiki Morino: I have never seen such a torturous way of being treated.]

[Hiruzen Sarutobi: This kid's thoughts are terrifying.]

[Onoki: I don't think even demons can compare to him; he's far more terrifying than demons.]

[Mai Shiranui: Tsk tsk tsk, you guys just don't understand, this is what efficiency looks like.]

[Boruto Uzumaki: I don't know if it's efficient or not, but I know that a normal person would have collapsed long ago after being subjected to this kind of treatment.]

Jiraiya: ......

Hey, Shizuka's son is terrifying!

[Screen continues...]

Ignoring Xiao Wu's words, Ning Ye had Xiao Ye and Xiao Qing have a competition to see the training results and, incidentally, to deepen their adaptability to natural energy.

The result was obvious: all three experienced what it felt like to bask in the sunlight, which greatly improved their ability to adapt to natural energy, even though they were almost burned to ashes by Xiao Ye.

The three people lying on the ground let out sounds of resentment.

"Damn it, I refuse to believe we can't beat even one of them!"

The three of them were younger than Xiao Kong and the others, but older than Xiao Ye. As a result, the older ones couldn't beat the younger ones, and the younger ones couldn't beat them either.

Then they turned their attention to Xiaoying, who was playing on the sofa.

They can't possibly be unable to beat even this little girl, can they?

After getting Xiao Wu's consent, they tried to issue a challenge to Xiao Ying, who was happy that her three older brothers and sisters would play with her, so she happily agreed.

As it turns out, almost everything that unscrupulous guy agreed to was a trap.

…………

Just as Xiao Qing and her two companions arrived at the dueling arena with Xiao Ying, Xiao Wu came over from behind with a shopping bag.

What are you doing with those shopping bags?

"It's nothing, just something to make it easier to take back later."

"ha?"

The three of them were baffled.

Xiao Ying was several years younger than them, and they were too embarrassed to make the first move, so they let Xiao Ying go first.

Xiao Ying asked with a smile, "Do all the older brothers and sisters like plush toys?"

Xiao Qing didn't understand what it meant, but she still answered that she liked it.

Xiaoxi, on the other hand, thought it was too childish and made it clear that she didn't like it.

When Xiaoxi said she didn't like it, Xiaoying's expression changed. Although she was smiling, something seemed off.

"If this brother doesn't like it, that won't do. I'll make you like it."

Xiao Ying opened her palm and fired out a pink light wave that hit Xiao tide directly.

"Hmm? It doesn't hurt?"

Xiaoxi frowned, feeling that nothing had changed about her.

The next moment, an indescribable feeling washed over him. His body began to shrink, and his skin gradually became fibrous, until in no time he had turned into a 30-centimeter-tall rag doll.

"What?!" x3

This sudden turn of events shocked the three of them. Xiaoxi, in particular, felt completely powerless; he felt his chakra was blocked, and could only watch helplessly as Xiaoying picked him up.
