Torifu nodded. "Yeah, I wasn't very full just now, but it's okay to eat a little less at night. Let's just go home." The group quickly returned to the Kumotsuru Clan Compound. However, they had eaten a little too much and couldn't sleep right now. It was also a lot of burden on their bodies, so they were all just wandering around in the courtyard. Minato used this time to practice his jutsu to speed up his stamina consumption. From the looks of it, he was still at the same stage as before, and there was no significant progress in his Flying Thunder God Jutsu.
But Torifu wasn't worried at all. Minato was only ten years old, and it was a given that he would learn the Flying Thunder God Jutsu. It was just a matter of time. Torifu was very confident about this. His arrival in this world hadn't had much of an impact on Minato. It was just that he had a different Sensei. As for what Jiraiya knew, Torifu knew all of it and was even more proficient. So there was nothing to worry about.
The two children had a lot of energy. They were jogging and playing hide-and-seek in the courtyard. They were much more cheerful than when they first arrived at the Kumotsuru Clan Compound. Soon, everyone's energy was almost depleted. Minato was the first to go back to his room to sleep. He might have to go on a mission tomorrow and would need to wake up early. Then the two children also went back to rest. Only Amado and Torifu were left in the courtyard.
Amado was enjoying the moon and drinking tea in the pavilion, while Torifu was lying in a lounge chair by the door. Mosquitoes occasionally flew by, but they couldn't pierce Torifu's skin. A moment later, Torifu also went back to his room to sleep. Amado was a night owl. But Torifu couldn't do that. He hadn't pulled an all-nighter since he came to this world. If he did, it was because of a mission that he couldn't get back in time for. His daily routine was very regular.
But his younger brother, who had grown up with him, obviously hadn't learned this good habit from Torifu.
Early the next morning, Torifu woke up, immediately put on his clothes, and went to the washroom to wash up. He had something to do today, so he woke up earlier than usual. However, someone was even earlier than him. He had heard a noise in the courtyard when he was washing up. He opened the door and saw that it was indeed Minato. Minato's expression was serious as he continuously practiced throwing kunai. But his technique was already very proficient. He could hit the target with every throw, but he still seemed dissatisfied with it.
Striving to surpass oneself was a good thing. Torifu chose not to disturb him. Instead, he went back into the room and sat at the table, picking up a blank piece of paper and drawing something on it. At first, it was just a rough outline, but gradually it became clearer. It seemed to be a dress with a trail, a lady's long gown. Torifu only simply outlined the shape, and then he drew another set next to it. This one was obviously for a man.
"Phew, Madam Beni should be able to understand my idea. It's a little different from the previous Kumotsuru Clan clothes, but overall, it's the same." Madam Beni had been making clothes for Torifu for a long time, so she should be able to understand what Torifu meant. However, he might need to give her a detailed description of this abstract sketch.
After he finished everything, Torifu put the sketch away. He definitely couldn't go now. All the embroidery workers were women. There was no way they would be up at this time, and it wasn't work time yet. He could only go outside and watch Minato to pass the time.
"Big Brother, you're awake." Minato hadn't noticed Torifu just now. This time, when Torifu came out for the second time, Minato saw him. He immediately stopped what he was doing and walked toward Torifu.
"How was your sleep last night?"
Minato smiled and nodded. "It was very good, Big Brother. I had already digested all the food before I went to sleep."
"I came out to practice throwing kunai after I woke up this morning. I want to find the feeling and see if I can get some enlightenment."
Torifu patted Minato's head. "You're a little impatient. You can't be too impatient when cultivating jutsu or developing jutsu. It will be counterproductive." Since Minato's Flying Thunder God Jutsu had stalled, he had become a little anxious because the stories Big Brother had told him about geniuses who had become mediocre after learning the Flying Thunder God Jutsu had also made him a little nervous. He didn't want to become an ordinary, unremarkable ninja, which was why he was practicing so desperately. Fortunately, he wasn't getting nothing out of his daily practice. It was just that his progress was very slow.
Even though Torifu helped him break down the movements on the scroll and simplify the chakra steps over and over again, it was impossible to speed up Minato's cultivation. Minato also knew that he was a little impatient. He understood the reasoning, but his heart just couldn't calm down.
"Don't put so much pressure on yourself recently. Kushina hasn't seen you in a while. She mentioned you to me some time ago. Find some time to go play with her."
Speaking of Kushina, it had indeed been a while since he last saw her. Since he became a ninja, they hadn't seen each other for a long time, even though they had the best relationship. Minato nodded. "Okay, Big Brother. I'll find a time to go see her in the next few days."
Torifu smiled. "It just so happens that Elder Tobirama is there. You can go and ask him to teach you the Flying Thunder God. After all, he is the creator."
When he heard this, Minato's eyes lit up. He was right. Tobirama was the creator of the Flying Thunder God. If he had something he didn't understand, he could just go and ask him, right? Why was he so busy at home doing things he knew were meaningless? When he thought of this, Minato was no longer so stubborn. "Then I'll ask Sakumo Sensei for a day off today and go see Kushina in a bit."
Torifu couldn't interfere with this matter. It was up to Minato to decide. When Yahiko heard the two of them talking in the courtyard, he also pushed open the door and came out. He looked very energetic. "Sensei, what are we training today?"
But Torifu immediately poured a bucket of cold water over his head. "Today, you still have to cultivate chakra, and you have to continue to cultivate chakra in the future, preferably on a daily basis."
"Huh? No way..." Yahiko was a little discouraged. Cultivating for two hours was already boring enough. Now, cultivating for a whole day was a little scary.
"Where's Konan? I don't see her."
Yahiko replied, "I heard the sound of running water in her room just now. She's probably washing up. She'll probably be out in a bit."
As expected, as soon as he finished speaking, Konan pushed open the door and came out. Her blue hair was very noticeable. Speaking of which, in Torifu's family, he had white hair, Amado had black hair, Minato had yellow hair, Yahiko had reddish-orange hair, Konan had bluish-purple hair, and Naori had dark purple hair. Wow, among so many people, only Amado had a normal hair color. Was this a genuine "punk rock" family?
