Naruto: The Strongest Training System

Chapter 55: A Warm Family

But this past year was not without its gains. The improvement in his strength was very obvious. His physical body had been upgraded from the Genin-level strength of a year ago to the current Chunin-level strength.

His chakra had also seen a significant improvement, from the total chakra of an academy student to the total chakra of a Genin. However, this total chakra amount was not being compared to that of an ordinary Genin.

Instead, it was being compared to a member of the Uzumaki clan. After all, the total chakra of an Uzumaki clan member is several times greater than that of an ordinary ninja. And the current Orion was no exception; his total chakra reserves were also several times that of a normal ninja's.

Besides these two gains, the progress in his ninjutsu and taijutsu was also enormous. After the proficiency of the Basic Three Academy Jutsu reached its maximum value, the system directly rewarded him with fifty thousand points of chakra proficiency. After the Leaf Whirlwind and Leaf Strong Wind reached their maximum proficiency, the system directly fused the two taijutsu, upgrading them into a technique called God's Fighting Technique.

Although the proficiency for the Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palms had been maxed out for a while, it wasn't until today that the system upgraded it into the Taiji Palm. But it was worth it.

The Gentle Fist itself was a relatively powerful taijutsu. Now that the system had upgraded it into the Taiji Palm, it had become an even more powerful technique. One could tell the power of the Taiji Palm from the battle with Guy in the training ground just now.

In addition to these, there was also the maxed-out Rotation, which upgraded into an even more powerful defensive ninjutsu, the Golden Bell Shield. And there was the Eye of God, which had been upgraded to level two. It could be said that if Orion's gains in this one year were compared to other people's, it's estimated that their entire lifetime's gains couldn't compare to his one year of progress.

Just like that, Orion slowly summarized his gains from the past year. Gradually, lying on the soft bed, he began to feel sleepy. When he had just come back, his breathing had been a bit ragged because of the fight with Guy.

But after closing his eyes and resting on the bed for a while, his breathing also gradually began to stabilize. A year of hard training and arduous effort had finally paid off.

In this past year, Orion's mind and concentration had been incomparably focused at all times. He would go out early in the morning and come back very late at night, with not nearly enough time for sleep.

So now, as soon as Orion's spirit relaxed and his concentration was no longer taut, drowsiness instantly rushed in, and he fell asleep with incredible speed.

When one is sleeping, time always passes very quickly. It was as if in the blink of an eye, the sky had already slowly darkened.

"Ori, Ori, come down quickly! The food is ready. Come down and eat dinner."

At the dining table in the living room, Kushina Uzumaki shouted upstairs. But after she shouted for a while, there was no reaction from upstairs at all.

"Hmph, this kid. He's not responding to me. Let's see how I'll deal with him when I go up."

After speaking, Kushina walked towards Orion's room. She climbed the stairs, walked to the outside of his room, opened the door, and went in.

Opening the door, Kushina saw Orion lying on the bed, fast asleep, his face full of contentment.

"Sigh, this kid."

Seeing Orion sleeping so comfortably on the bed, Kushina shook her head helplessly. She didn't have the heart to wake him up at this time.

"He must be too tired from this year of training! Alright, I'll just let this kid rest well. It seems tonight I might be eating dinner alone."

Kushina left Orion's room with a smile, closing the door behind her as she left.

Returning to the living room, Kushina began to eat her dinner. At this moment, a man with short, blond hair suddenly appeared in the living room.

Kushina knew someone had arrived, so she lifted her head and looked at the man standing in front of her.

"Minato, so it's you. You're back. I thought you weren't coming back!"

Kushina looked at Minato Namikaze standing in front of her and revealed a charming smile.

Minato went to get himself a bowl of rice, walked to the dining table in the living room, pulled a chair out from behind it, and sat down.

"Kushina, where's Ori? Why isn't he here for dinner?" Minato asked Kushina, who was sitting across from him.

"Oh! Minato, you mean that kid? He's still sleeping soundly in his room right now! He probably won't wake up until tomorrow morning," Kushina replied to Minato while eating her meal.

"Ori is still sleeping? It seems he's really been working hard to improve his strength this year. But that's a good thing."

"In this world, the ones who die are basically those without enough strength. Although you and I are still here now, there will be a day when we die. If Ori doesn't have the strength to deal with crises at that time, it will be dangerous. So, it's for the best that he can improve his own strength."

On this point, Minato saw things very clearly. In this world, strength was what mattered most. Only those with strength could live the life they wanted. Those without strength could only be like puppets, easily dominated by others.

Perhaps right now, Minato was worried that he and Kushina would die, which was why he said these things. But these words were also mostly just a jest.

However, what Minato didn't know was that in one year, his and Kushina's time of death would arrive. But that was still a matter for a year later.

After finishing dinner, Minato put an arm around Kushina and walked towards their room.

At this moment, Kushina's face instantly turned bright red, knowing what would happen next.

The night passed without a word. The sky gradually brightened. The first ray of sunlight shone through Orion's window, onto his face.

"Mm! So bright!"

Slowly, Orion opened his eyes. After a full afternoon and night of rest, his spirit had also recovered very well, and his eyes were bright and full of energy.

He got out of bed and directly took out a set of his favorite white clothes from the wardrobe. The pants were also white. He put them on directly.

After getting dressed, Orion walked to the bathroom. After washing up, he looked in the mirror. A face that was cute to the extreme, coupled with his long hair, further added to Orion's unique "little shota" aura.

"Ori, Ori, come down quickly for breakfast!"

It was the call of his mother, Kushina Uzumaki. He hadn't expected his mother to be up so early and to have already made breakfast.

"Okay, I'll be right down!" Orion shouted down to his mother.

After that, Orion slowly walked down. When he reached the living room, breakfast was already laid out on the table.

It was sandwiches and a glass of milk. Orion closed his eyes and sniffed. The sandwiches had sausage and egg in them, and there was the mellow aroma of milk. It must be delicious.

So, Orion immediately reached out with both hands, grabbing a sandwich in one and holding the glass of milk in the other.

When his mouth got dry from eating the sandwich, he would take a sip of milk. "So delicious! I'm so full."

After finishing, Orion rubbed his stomach and sighed with contentment.
