Chapter 193 New Devil Fruit (Subscription Request)

Under the scorching sun,

Today, the old cat was not exercised to the point of fainting during training, and was carried home by Liangjie.

Instead, he walked home with him in a clear mind.

Although his steps were a little staggering, he was still normal, and even a little cheerful.

He seemed very satisfied with his performance today.

When the two arrived at home, the housekeeper Liang had already placed all kinds of prepared lunch on the dining table in the dining room. The rich aroma of the food was tempting, and the two people who were already hungry could not wait.

With a bruised face, the old cat quickly jumped onto his baby seat.

But just when he picked up the bowl and chopsticks and looked at the empty table, he seemed a little uncomfortable, "It seems... a bit deserted."

On this originally lively table, there are only him and Liangjie.

"There is no way, they all have their own things to do."

Liangjie replied casually.

As the head of the Hyuga clan, his father certainly didn't have much free time for such a big event in the ninja world recently.

Early in the morning, he was called to the Hokage Building to hold the third meeting to discuss.

Even if he himself didn't want to participate in this matter, and had no intention of launching more actions with Konoha, his father was still the head of the Hyuga clan after all, and the roots of the Hyuga clan were temporarily in Konoha, so he had to show up and watch.

So Hinata not only had to prepare for the early graduation assessment recently, but also had to help pay attention to the affairs of the family.

Although the elders of the clan helped to solve the affairs of the clan, as the heir of Hyuga Hiashi, she still had to make first-hand decisions on many things, screen out completely unreasonable plans, and wait for her father to be free before making the final decision.

Even Hanabi, the youngest in the family, had to go to the Ninja School to study.

All of a sudden, the only two people who were the most leisurely in the family were the two of them.

But actually, Ryosuke himself is quite used to it. It is not the first time for him to be alone like this.

Like before, he often took leave to practice hard at home, so he can easily adapt to this boring and lonely life.

"Really..."

Laomao nodded, but did not say anything else. He silently put the food on the table into his stomach.

Both of them ate quietly, and no one spoke.

This lunch was quickly eaten in this calm atmosphere. After the meal, Lao Mao skillfully returned to his room to rest.

Ryosuke was also preparing to return to his room.

Continuous and high-intensity fighting consumes a lot of energy. If it is an ordinary person, such a concentrated and full-strength entanglement will probably be exhausted in a few minutes.

Laomao can persist like this every day, relying on his own talent and will.

Of course, Laomao's will was forcibly raised by Ryosuke.

As for Ryosuke himself, although he did not exert his full strength, he also spent a lot of energy because he had to observe Laomao's physical condition while training him.

"Master Ryosuke."

But just as Ryosuke passed by the courtyard and was about to return to his room from the corridor, the voice of the housekeeper Aliang sounded from the door of the inner courtyard, "There is news from the clan to report."

News from the clan?

Ryosuke paused and looked at Aliang who was delivering the message.

"A senior ninja is waiting at the door of the outer courtyard. I didn't invite him in without your consent."

Aliang explained quickly.

"Okay."

Ryosuke nodded, as if he remembered something, and walked towards the outer courtyard.

After so many days, it's time for another devil fruit to be delivered, right?

He thought so in his heart, and when he walked to the outer courtyard, a clan member wearing a senior ninja forehead protector was standing solemnly at the door of the outer courtyard.

"Master Ryosuke."

The respectful words came from the mouth of this senior ninja.

In his hands, he was holding a small exquisite wooden box in his palms and handed it to Ryosuke, "According to the mission instructions of the clan leader, after buying this fruit at Jinde Auction House, I will supervise the packaging throughout the process and escort this wooden box back to the village. After returning, I will directly hand it over to you without passing through the hands of a third person."

I think the wooden box should contain the devil fruit just mentioned.

"Thank you for your hard work, Sosuke Jonin."

Ryosuke's bright white eyes glanced at the situation in the wooden box, and a smile appeared on his face.

Opposite him, Hinata Sosuke seemed very excited, straightened his body and shouted proudly: "Everything for Hinata!"

He was also one of the people in the clan who had contact with the power center. He was also very clear about the increasing status of Hinata in Konoha, the Land of Fire, and the Ninja World.

And he was extremely excited to face this legendary family in person, and it was difficult to suppress the emotions in his heart.

"Yes! Everything is for Hinata!"

Ryosuke smiled and replied, "As for the reward for this mission, I will let Xingcai Jonin deliver it to you later."

"I don't need the bounty, I can..."

Sosa Jounin tried very hard to show his loyalty and will, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by Ryosuke waving his hand.

"Let's put it in a different way. Although you are working for the family, since it is a mission, there must be a reward."

Looking at him gently, Ryosuke's voice was as comfortable as a spring breeze, "We are all from the same family, so I won't say any more polite words. I have other things to do, so..."

"I understand, then I'll leave first."

Hinata Sosa nodded and left excitedly.

Is this the person who will take this fruit next? Looks good.

He kept looking at his back until the other party disappeared from his sight, and then Ryosuke turned around with a smile.

The Hinata Sosa who just met was one of the suitable candidates selected by Hinata Hiashi.

No matter his loyalty or strength, he can match these devil fruits.

In order to test his loyalty more, Hinata Hiashi had already explained the origin and ability of these fruits in the process of sending him to take the fruits and escorting them.

A devil fruit that can make ordinary people directly become Chunin, and it also has the ability to make Jonin go to the next level.

This temptation is not low, and the task is completed by him personally. If he wants to have bad intentions, he has enough time.

This is a small test, although it may not be accurate, but it is not redundant.

After all, although the plan to eliminate internal troubles was quite effective, it is still unknown whether there are fish that slip through the net. Even Ryosuke does not know whether there are any former traitors in the family.

But if there are really remnants of the rebellious party among the people selected by Hyuga Hiashi, the temptation of this devil fruit will definitely be much greater than that of others.

At that time, if someone really takes this fruit and flies away, the family will immediately send people to clean it up.

Although it is a bit of a loss to catch a family borer with one fruit, it is still worth it for long-term development.

And if everyone honestly returns the fruit according to the content of the test, then Ryosuke and others will not mind giving these fruits to them, so that they can add a fighting force to the family.

A small test, no matter which of the two roads these people choose, it is not a loss for Ryosuke and his friends.

He walked directly to the study and put the wooden box containing the devil fruit in the secret compartment that had been prepared long ago.

This time he would not just find a place to throw it away like last time.

After carefully preparing the devil fruit, Ryosuke turned around and left the study.

He did not open the wooden box to check or study the fruit inside. His recent test on the old cat still had some results.

For example, he had figured out that apart from letting people take the fruit and observe the physical changes of the user, there was no way to identify the ability of the devil fruit without an illustrated book.

He could not study anything without destroying the fruit.

And it was not yet so luxurious to destroy the devil fruit for research, so it was meaningless for Ryosuke to stay here.

When he came outside, it was less than ten minutes before the lunch break.

Usually, after lunch, Ryosuke would give Lao Mao about half an hour to rest, but today he didn't plan to give him such a long rest time, or he didn't plan to do so in the future.

"Get up."

Like the call of a devil, Ryosuke just came to Lao Mao's house and knocked on the door gently to open it.

Inside,

Lao Mao, who was still lying quietly on the bed, jumped up and instinctively made a counterattack.

After seeing Ryosuke standing at the door, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead in a trance.

"Boss, why do I feel like I just went to bed? Is time passing so fast?"

For rest time, Lao Mao cherishes every moment, but today he instinctively feels that time seems to pass a little too fast.

Glancing at the clock in the house, Ryosuke chuckled and reported to him: "No, it's only been nine minutes and twenty-eight seconds."

"Then..."

Lao Mao was a little confused.

"Unfortunately, I adjusted the lunch break time." Ryosuke explained, "Because I feel that your training progress seems to be a little too slow. In order for you to become a talent as soon as possible, I decided to spend more time with you. Don't be polite to me."

"I..."

The old cat put on an ugly smile and was about to bargain, but faced with Ryosuke's eyes, he swallowed it silently.

The two left the main house one after the other.

Feeling the grievance of the old cat following behind, Ryosuke said helplessly, "I have something for you to do in a while. I will give you a month's vacation. No matter when you complete the task, come back within a month."

"Really?!"

The old cat raised his head with some surprise, and he couldn't believe the sudden freedom.

"Of course."

Ryosuke explained, "This task is quite difficult for you now, but you have a chance to complete it. However, I still want to take advantage of this free time to teach you more lessons, so as not to fail and disappoint my expectations of you."

In fact, the progress of Lao Mao's training is already very fast compared to ordinary people.

In just over a week, he has begun to have the strength to fight against Chunin.

But unfortunately, it is still a long way from his goal...

"Actually... I seem to have touched something else recently."

When he came to the training ground of Hyuga,

Ryosuke was just about to start directly, and the old cat standing opposite him suddenly said something.

"Oh?"

He stopped and looked at the old cat with some doubts, and then, the somewhat relaxed look became serious.

"It was the feeling I had when you nearly smashed my skull with one punch last night."

Simply talking about the injury he had never thought of before, Lao Mao felt a little sad in his heart, "It hurts, it hurts a lot, Boss, your fist always makes me feel different degrees of pain."

"Every time I want to get used to the strength of your fist, you always increase the strength faster, making it impossible for me to adapt to the pain."

"In order to not hurt so much, I can only desperately observe your movements and learn your skills, but you are like a moving road sign. No matter how I chase you, you are always in front of me..."

Seriously speaking, Lao Mao sometimes feels that it would be more comfortable for him to die as a cat, at least he doesn't have to bear the pain now.

And... In the face of this torture, he still can't raise resentment, because this is his own will and he owes it.

There is no way, he can only try his best to satisfy Ryosuke and try to regain his freedom.

As Lao Mao explained his inner changes at that time, his body gradually changed, both externally and internally.

The old cat tried hard to recall the pain he felt when he was injured. The intense sense of crisis prompted the devil fruit to quickly exert its power and promote the rapid growth of his body.

Although Ryosuke would hold back every time he guided him to practice, so as not to kill him in the test, his serious injuries were real.

Although these injuries could be cured, the pain felt in the process was absolutely heartbreaking, and if Ryosuke was not satisfied, the pain would continue!

To be honest, this feeling is more uncomfortable than death!

At least if he died, it would only be a temporary pain.

But in this test training, the old cat felt that Ryosuke was like holding a blunt knife, stuck in his neck and sawing hard, just like sawing wood.

And every time, when the trunk of his big tree was about to break and completely collapsed, Ryosuke would help him heal, patch up the cracked place, and then continue sawing!

This is a torture!

Although the old cat can feel that he is getting stronger in the process, this torture really makes people a little collapsed.

So that he inexplicably felt the new changes in his fear!

Is it coming?

As expected, Ryosuke was not surprised by the changes in the old cat, but was looking forward to it.

There was no energy substance in his body to promote this change, but the old cat's body was obviously changing.

The use of the devil fruit ability is not like the technique of the ninja world, with visible energy substances such as chakra to support the release and consumption of the ability, but it is maintained by the energy in the body or the physical strength.

It is like a repeater, which can give the ability user special abilities, and the corresponding price is that it will draw and consume the ability user's physical strength in the process of using the ability.

But now the change in the old cat is not consuming his physical strength, but increasing his physical strength limit!

His figure gradually grew taller, and his already strong body expanded and bulged again.

Blue veins appeared on his strong and thick arms like tree roots.

Standing there, the old cat no longer looked short and strong before, but turned into a real beastman, a "little giant" who was two meters tall!

Transformation! One of the special abilities of the animal-type devil fruit!
