Meanwhile.
Hinata enjoyed a delicious lunch at Naruto's place and then happily left with two boxes of food.
One box contained Braised Pork, and the other contained Roasted Chicken Wings. They were both incredibly delicious and appetizing, making her appetite soar.
Carrying these goodies, Hinata returned home and saw her father and sister chatting at the dining table.
"Hinata, you're finally back. Did you bring the Braised Pork?" Hyuga Hiashi asked urgently.
"Yes, I did. Naruto heard you liked Braised Pork, so he gave me extra. He also included a box of Roasted Chicken Wings. They're especially delicious."
Hinata said, placing the two dishes on the table and opening them. The fragrant aroma instantly filled the room, attracting Hanabi's attention.
"It smells so good, I'll try some first."
Hyuga Hiashi was already starving and immediately picked up a roasted chicken wing to try. Once he started eating, he couldn't stop.
Nearby.
Hanabi, full from eating and drinking, saw this and felt like she'd been tricked. However, she rarely ate meat, so she was doubtful. "Is it really that delicious?"
"You'll know once you try it," Hinata smiled and gestured.
"Then I'll try some."
Hanabi didn't take it seriously, but slowly picked up a piece of Braised Pork and put it in her small mouth.
But once she ate it, the one who hadn't taken it seriously instantly brightened up, and then she was surprised. "It's really delicious, such a special flavor, I've never tasted anything like this before."
Hanabi quickly ate the Braised Pork, then looked at the Roasted Chicken Wings with deep anticipation. She picked up a piece and tasted it, and the crispy, tender chicken instantly won her over.
"It's really delicious! Sister, you said Naruto sent all of this? Did he make it?" Hanabi asked, curious.
"Of course, he's a great cook. Besides these, he makes a lot of other delicious things," Hinata explained with a smile.
"I didn't expect this Naruto to be so amazing. I must meet him sometime. Hmm, now I need to eat quickly."
Hanabi saw her father eating heartily, having already devoured a large amount in just a short time. She was worried she wouldn't get any and quickly joined the feast.
Unfortunately, she had eaten too much earlier, and after a short while, she couldn't eat anymore. Feeling frustrated, Hanabi could only glare at her father.
"Father, why did you encourage me to eat so much earlier? Were you afraid I would eat these delicious foods?"
"I was just worried you wouldn't be full. If you want to eat these delicacies, just eat them. I won't stop you," Hyuga Hiashi said, and started eating again.
"Me."
Hanabi was incredibly frustrated. She was already stuffed and couldn't possibly eat any more. She could only look away from the delicious food in annoyance, turning her attention to Hinata instead.
"Sister, tell me about Naruto. Why does he cook so well?"
"I'll tell you later. I need to speak with Father about something."
Hinata suddenly remembered the task Naruto had given her and turned to Hyuga Hiashi. "Father, Naruto wants you to help him get some weighted training equipment."
"Weighted training equipment? That's easy. I'll arrange it later," Hyuga Hiashi nodded without hesitation.
"Also, find some Earth Release ninjutsu scrolls. Something that can increase the gravity," Hinata added.
"Earth Release ninjutsu scrolls? That's a bit difficult."
Hyuga Hiashi hesitated. Ninjutsu was tricky to learn, and Earth Release techniques that involved gravity were mostly from the Land of Earth, making them quite difficult.
"Father, just do your best. Naruto is my best friend, and there's also delicious food," Hinata chimed in, supporting the idea.
"This…"
Hyuga Hiashi thought about the information he'd gathered today, the change in attitude towards Naruto from the Leaf Village's higher-ups, and the delicious food in front of him. He was silent for a couple of seconds before saying, "Alright, I'll do my best."
"Good luck."
With her father's promise secured, Hinata finally relaxed. This was the first time Naruto had asked her for help, and she was determined to support him, otherwise, she would feel terrible for Naruto's efforts.
In good spirits, Hinata pulled a stuffed Hanabi to the living room, and they huddled together, whispering secrets about Naruto.
Meanwhile…
Naruto's home.
Several Shadow Clones bustled around the room, some painting, others carving, and still others studying various skills and knowledge.
Meanwhile, Naruto sat cross-legged, examining his data panel.
He hadn't interacted with many people today, only a few, but since they were all important figures, he'd gained over a hundred Experience Points.
This many Experience Points were enough for him to exchange for ten drops of Saiyan blood. Moreover, he already had 90 drops, so he was only 10 drops away from 100.
Naruto was filled with anticipation because he'd always felt that something unknown would happen when his Saiyan blood reached 100 drops.
Taking a deep breath, Naruto used up all his Experience Points to exchange for Saiyan blood.
[Ding! Exchange successful. Obtained 10 drops of Saiyan blood.]
A warm current flowed through his body, and all his blood boiled at this moment, cheering, leaping, and welcoming a new life.
At this moment, he seemed to have transformed. His hair darkened significantly, and the angles of his face became more distinct. The muscles on his body became stronger and more powerful, filled with a sense of explosive force.
Feeling the explosive power contained within him, Naruto spread his hands and exclaimed in surprise, "Such strong power! This is simply a leap in progress."
Naruto murmured. His power was already very strong originally, and after this transformation, it had increased several times over.
Of course, his perception had also improved significantly, and his original range of perception had suddenly expanded several times.
He still needed to test the specific range of his perception, but he knew that this perception ability was definitely super powerful.
[Ding! Saiyan blood has reached 100 drops and condensed into a bloodline. Current bloodline is 10% Saiyan. From Pseudo-Saiyan, upgraded to Hybrid Saiyan.] [Ding! Upon reaching 100%, all blood can be instantly changed, completing the transformation.]
Ding!
Naruto: Hybrid Saiyan
Bloodline: 10% Abilities: Enhanced Shadow Clone Technique, Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, Three Techniques, Kunai Throwing Mastery, Chakra Control Mastery. Experience Points: 9
"10% Saiyan bloodline? One-tenth?" Naruto murmured, thinking of Pan from the Dragon Ball anime.
That girl was also a Hybrid Saiyan, with a bloodline concentration that wasn't too high, about a quarter. But she was very talented, had impressive combat power, and wasn't born with a tail. She also couldn't go Super Saiyan to this day.
Naruto knew clearly that Saiyans were different, and their bloodlines had different levels.
Like how Goku lost his mind when he became a Great Ape as a child, but Vegeta could maintain his intelligence. If Goku hadn't been lucky enough to come to Earth, he wouldn't have achieved what he did.
Therefore, the benefits brought about by different bloodlines were also different.
Naruto always felt that his Saiyan blood was somewhat extraordinary, especially the constantly increasing perceptual abilities, which were more convenient than Kagura's Mind's Eye.
He vaguely felt that his 10% Saiyan bloodline might be stronger than Goku's, which could bring him great help.
"Give it a try," Naruto said.
Naruto closed his eyes, preparing to give it a shot. But he immediately opened them again, his eyes filled with surprise.
