After some Healing Jutsu, Haruno Sho couldn't resist giving the Little Loli's perky bottom a firm pat.
"Slap!"
"Ah! Big Brother Xiao! Naughty..."
Her bottom stinging, Fujimoto Izumi immediately cried out in embarrassment and anger, then tried to get up to engage in another close combat with Haruno Sho.
"Haha, go wash up inside!"
"I'll give you another massage later!"
Catching the Little Loli's hands in front of him with one hand, easily subduing her until her face was flushed with embarrassment, Haruno Sho laughed heartily as he pushed her towards the house and gave her some instructions.
"Hmph! Just you wait..."
Fujimoto Izumi turned around, raised her small fist threateningly at him, then obediently walked towards the washroom in the inner room.
The Little Loli was now the top student in taijutsu in her class. Because of Haruno Sho's prior instructions, she hadn't displayed overly astonishing Ninjutsu talent at the Ninja Academy.
For safety, concealing one's abilities was very necessary, unless one didn't want to stay in Konoha Village anymore... Although Danzo was greedy, he wouldn't bother with an ordinary civilian Ninja student without outstanding Ninjutsu talent, even if she might be a taijutsu genius!
But in his Root organization's training camp, there were plenty of children seemingly stronger than Fujimoto Izumi, so it wasn't worth causing trouble for Ninja Academy students in the village over such matters.
Because it wasn't worth it!
"Mm! Mm! Mm... Hmph hmph..."
Haruno Sho was currently using special Medical Ninjutsu to massage his Apprentice. A soft green light appeared on his hands, slowly kneading the Little Loli's muscles, soothing the tissues that had produced a large amount of lactic acid due to intense exercise, and promoting her growth.
"Slap!"
Perhaps influenced by the noise, Haruno Sho couldn't help but give her little bottom another pat.
"Ah! Big Brother Xiao..."
Fujimoto Izumi's face flushed red with shyness again, but her body was soft and she had no fighting ability at the moment, so she could only grumble in a small, aggrieved voice.
"Alright! Stop humming and hawing. It's just a massage, isn't it? Why are you moaning so soulfully?"
After playfully scolding her, Haruno Sho handed his Little Loli Apprentice another special drink.
"Can I not drink it, Big Brother Xiao...?"
Seeing the strangely colored concoction, Fujimoto Izumi immediately remembered its odd and unpleasant taste, so she instinctively wanted to refuse.
"Izumi, drink it obediently! It's good for your development, you know..."
"Don't you want to become a powerful Female Ninja like Tsunade Hime?"
"Only by drinking more of it will you have that hope!"
"Otherwise, you definitely won't be able to surpass her later..."
Haruno Sho, of course, couldn't spoil her; his attitude was firm, but he also persuaded her kindly.
She's just a child... coaxing her will do... "Ugh... it tastes so weird! Can't you improve its flavor?"
Seeing that she couldn't resist, the Little Loli grumbled her suggestion, then closed her eyes and poured it into her mouth.
"Ugh! So disgusting..."
"Ah~ I feel so sleepy!"
After drinking the strangely flavored drink, the Little Loli immediately made an exaggerated expression as if she was about to vomit, and then sleepiness quickly overcame her, and she began to doze off.
"Then take a nap!"
"Good rest is also part of growth!"
In Haruno Sho's seemingly blurred words, Fujimoto Izumi quickly fell into a dream.
"Izumi, sleep soundly!"
"I, your teacher, only need a little bit of your blood..."
After confirming that his Apprentice had completely fallen asleep, Haruno Sho pulled out a syringe and quickly collected some blood samples from Fujimoto Izumi.
Then, his Healing Jutsu activated, and the needle mark on the Little Loli's arm vanished without a trace.
Perfect!
Haruno Sho had performed such operations countless times over the past few years, so his movements were very practiced.
To ensure smooth execution, he would first exhaust his Apprentice, then use medicine and genjutsu to put her into a deep sleep state. This way, he conducted his secret experiments without anyone knowing... Over the past three years, his gains had been considerable!
First, relying on the large quantities of blood and flesh samples obtained from Fujimoto Kai, he successfully produced a large amount of Senju serum.
After dilution, it was classified from low to high concentrations and then fused with his own serum in experiments.
The results were unexpectedly smooth; the two serums actually fused successfully with ease, forming a new serum.
This greatly surprised Haruno Sho!
He had always suspected that his bloodline was not simple, but in the past, he lacked sufficient information to investigate.
He was a child from a single-parent family; his mother, Haruno Ei, a Chunin, gave birth to him out of wedlock.
His mother had never voluntarily mentioned who Haruno Sho's father was until he asked her.
However, the result was silence, and she said that the person had already died in battle and told him not to think too much about it.
So, the young Haruno Sho didn't ask again, but unexpectedly, his mother also suddenly sacrificed herself when he was five years old, dying during a mission.
The Anbu did not explain the situation to him, only providing a notification, and they couldn't even bring back his mother's body... Being a Ninja truly is a dangerous profession!
