Chapter 33 Give and Take (Ch 33)

Aburame Shiwei asked Shino to show the guests around and he would arrange the meals.

Shino was actually a little nervous because it was the first time that a friend came to visit her home. Even though she had a good relationship with Natsuki, she was still very concerned.

He took the two of them to see the insectary and the vegetable garden.

The Aburame clan is famous for their insect-controlling skills, so it’s normal to raise insects at home, but it’s not very friendly to people with trypophobia.

Natsuki and Tenten weren’t scared, after all, they were very familiar with Shino.

Every time they practiced together, Shino would release a bunch of bugs, and after a while, they naturally got used to it.

However, watching the densely packed insects chewing on the leaves and making crunching sounds is not pleasant at all. People who are not from the Aburame clan will only find it creepy.

Afterwards, Shino took the two to the training ground in the backyard.

Xia Mu also talked about business: “Shino, I have created a six-style ninjutsu, including the paper painting I taught you before, and the shaving that is similar to the instant body technique that I figured out. The remaining four styles are iron block, moon step, finger gun and storm kick, which should be able to greatly make up for your shortcomings in physical skills. Now you can separate a few insect clones to fight me, and I will demonstrate them to you one by one.”

“Okay. I’m looking forward to it.”

Shino didn’t refuse, just like Natsuki didn’t refuse when he threw a bunch of ninjutsu scrolls to her.

He raised his hand and a group of insects appeared, gathering into three insect clones, all holding kunai and rushing towards Xia Mu.

“shave!”

Xia Mu disappeared from the spot in an instant.

When he reappeared, he was already behind one of the insect clones. The index finger of his right hand suddenly turned extremely black and poked directly into the heart of the insect clone.

“Point the gun!”

This insect clone exploded, but the other two insect clones came forward with kunai in hand.

Xia Mu didn’t even try to dodge, but just made a few seals. When the kunai fell on his body, only the sound of metal colliding was heard, but there was no damage at all.

“This is the Iron Block! Next is the Moon Step! And after that, the Storm Kick!”

Xia Mu stepped directly on the air and actually ran in the sky, which stunned Tian Tian and Shino. Then he swept his foot in the air and kicked out an arc-shaped slash, which directly chopped the two insect clones into pieces.

There was no need for demonstration of paper painting, as Shino had already learned it.

After Xia Mu landed, he met Tian Tian’s bright eyes, looked into Shino’s reflective sunglasses, and smiled: “This is the Six Styles. Although it requires the use of water and earth attribute chakras, even if you don’t have the corresponding chakra attributes, you can still learn it. Next, I will tell you the principles of the Six Styles…”

Not long after, Xia Mu explained the principles and practice methods of the Six Styles in detail, without hiding anything.

In addition, there are some precautions. For example, iron blocks and finger guns require the use of the Iron Transformation Technique. The body will absorb the characteristics of iron, which is more dangerous. Therefore, you must use the shadow clone to practice first, and the Iron Transformation Technique cannot be used for more than one minute, otherwise it is easy to hurt the body, which will not be worth the gain.

Shino nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and it was obvious that he was very satisfied with Rokushiki.

After he learned it, he was no longer afraid of the enemy fighting him with physical skills at close range. Just one move of the iron block was enough to make the enemy return empty-handed.

“By the way, Shino, once you have learned it, give the Six Styles to Uncle Zhiwei and let him arrange it himself.” Xia Mu suddenly said.

“this……”

Shino disagreed, “Natsuki, this is the result of your research…”

Xia Mu chuckled: “Haha, it’s true that this is my research result, but it was also achieved with the strong support of the Aburame clan. Don’t think I don’t know that the ninjutsu you gave me was approved by Uncle Zhiwei. I’m not shy with you, but I have to thank Uncle Zhiwei, otherwise what kind of person would I be!”

Shino opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

He understood Xia Mu’s thoughts and knew that what Xia Mu was doing was right.

Even if those ninjutsu are not taken seriously by the clan, they are still assets of the clan. As the son of the clan leader, if he gives them to outsiders without permission, it will definitely cause criticism. Not only will he, the son of the clan leader, be criticized, but Xia Mu may also be implicated, and even the clan leader may be questioned.

But if Natsuki gives back this six-style technique that can make up for the Aburame clan’s weakness in physical techniques, the voices of doubt and criticism will naturally disappear, and they will even be praised.

In addition, if Natsuki returns the favor, his relationship with the Aburame clan will only get better.

However, this made Shino feel uncomfortable, because his original purpose was to help Natsuki, not for anything in return. Even if Natsuki shared the Six Styles with him, he could accept it with peace of mind, but he didn’t want to watch Natsuki’s research results being shared with others.

This will make him feel that there is something else mixed in with friendship.

Tiantian seemed to see what Shino was thinking, and quickly said, “Shino, don’t think too much. In fact, the Six Styles is just a small part of Xia Mu’s gains. He has more important results that he hasn’t brought out yet. He doesn’t dare to tell you yet, for fear that you will think he is selfish and won’t share with you.”

“Oh, are there more important results?”

Shino didn’t quite believe it and thought he was just trying to fool her.

Xia Mu could only whisper: “Based on the ninjutsu you provided, I have comprehended the changes in the nature of chakra and integrated it with the changes in chakra form. At present, the power of the move is too great and needs to be improved, so I can’t use it for the time being.”

Zhinai was shocked when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed.

He didn’t expect that Xia Mu had already completed the fusion of chakra form change and nature change, which is something only a senior ninja can do.

In comparison, the Six Styles are not worth mentioning.

He asked uncertainly, “Really?”

Xia Mu was extremely sure: “Of course it’s true, but I can’t teach you.”

Shino waved his hands quickly: “It’s okay, it’s okay. I mainly practice the art of controlling insects. I can’t learn that kind of thing. But it’s fine this way. Then I will spread the six styles among the clan without hesitation.”

Xia Mu was relieved when he heard this, as he was afraid that Shino would be upset.

But he still reminded her: “It has to be kept secret for now. Don’t say it was created by me. Wait until I become a ninja first. Otherwise, I’m afraid I’ll see a dark ninja at my bedside one day.”

Of course Shino understood and nodded very solemnly.

Tiantian also had a serious look on her face. She had been with Xia Mu for such a long time, and naturally Xia Mu had told her to hide her weaknesses. Thinking that the so-called dark ninjas were those guys lurking in the dark who would kidnap geniuses, Tiantian couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

Her future boyfriend is such a genius, she hopes he won’t be targeted by her.

Not long after, Aburame Zhiwei called the three of them to eat.

Although the Aburame clan raises insects, they do not eat them, simply because they all like insects.

Shino is very obvious in this regard. For example, when they occasionally encounter insects passing by, Shino will not let his companions step on the insects, as that would make him uncomfortable.

But the vegetables are grown well. In addition to raising insects, I also eat them myself.

Moreover, they are quite experienced in cooking vegetables, for example, Shino’s mother is very good at it.
