Naruto: The Strongest Training System

Chapter 42: Going Home

"Hmph, I'm going back."

Orion glanced at Guy, feeling a bit aggrieved, then turned around directly and walked back towards his home without looking back.

Right now, the gap in strength between him and Guy was simply too large. Orion wasn't surprised by this result at all, but it didn't make him feel discouraged. On the contrary, it strengthened his resolve to improve his strength.

It seems Guy usually trains at this training ground. In that case, I'll add challenging Guy to my daily training routine. This way, I can both experience the extent of my strength improvement and increase my practical combat experience. It's killing two birds with one stone.

He walked out of the training ground and looked up at the sky. A crescent moon hung in the sky, accompanied by a few stars. They illuminated the earth, ensuring that the pedestrians heading home wouldn't be unable to see the road.

"The starry sky at night is really so beautiful!" Orion stopped his steps and watched quietly for a while.

He hadn't had this feeling in a long time. Orion couldn't help but feel a bit emotional. On Earth, he could only look up at the night sky when he was a child in the orphanage. After growing up, he was so busy with work that he basically had no time to look up and leisurely watch the night sky.

Since coming to the world of Naruto, he had basically stayed at home. This was the first time he had leisurely watched this night sky.

"Sigh, time to go home. It's already so late. I wonder if Mother has come back home today."

After walking for about ten minutes, he finally arrived at his front door. Orion gently pushed open the main door, and after walking in, he closed it behind him.

After closing the door, Orion suddenly noticed that the lights were still on in the living room. a trace of warmth appeared in his heart. He guessed that his mother must have returned by now, discovered that I wasn't at home, and was waiting for me to come back.

So, Orion walked towards the lit living room. In the living room, two people were sitting on the sofa. One was his mother, Kushina Uzumaki, and the other was his father, Minato Namikaze.

Orion wasn't surprised that his mother was at home, but he really hadn't expected his father to be here as well. Because his father was the Fourth Hokage, he often stayed at the Hokage's office and didn't come home. But now, he was at home, and even waiting for me in the living room.

I guess it must be because of the incident that happened this morning. My father, Minato Namikaze, already knows. After all, this is Konoha, and there are many Anbu patrolling the area. It's not strange that he knows.

Kushina Uzumaki, sitting on the sofa, saw Orion walk over and immediately asked, "Ori, where have you been? I was so worried when I came back and didn't see you. By the way, have you eaten dinner? I made your portion. If you haven't eaten, I'll go heat it up for you."

Seeing his mother's concerned eyes, Orion's heart was also a little touched. Orion, who had never experienced a mother's love, was now feeling it in the world of Naruto. Perhaps this transmigration is God's compensation to me!

"Mom, I haven't eaten tonight. I'm so hungry right now!" Orion rubbed his stomach and said to his mother with a somewhat awkward smile.

"Okay, Mom will go heat up the food for you. Ori, you sit at the dining table and wait a bit. You can eat soon." Hearing that her son was hungry, Kushina immediately took the food to heat it up.

There was a table and a few chairs in the living room of this courtyard. Usually, after Kushina finished cooking, they would eat here in the living room.

I sat down on a chair, wanting to rest for a bit. The stamina I had exerted while training outside hadn't fully recovered yet. I had about only one-tenth of my stamina left, so I was still very tired when I got home.

After his mother left with the food, his father, who was sitting on the sofa, spoke up. "Ori, I know about what happened this morning. Your mother knows too. When your dad was your age, my strength was not as good as yours!"

Orion didn't say anything, and the atmosphere in the living room became awkward. Minato spoke again, "What I want to say is, no matter what you do, your dad will protect you and won't let you get hurt in the slightest. But if your own strength can become strong enough that you don't need my protection, that would be for the best."

When he said this, Minato's eyes were very resolute. From this, one could tell that he was not joking.

"Mm, I know."

The living room fell silent again. Orion didn't know what to say now, so he didn't speak.

Minato had already said what he needed to say. Anyway, no matter what, Orion was his son. No matter what happened, I would bear it for him and not let him get hurt. Other things could be a bit more casual.

After speaking, Minato left the living room. In a little while, he was gone. I didn't know if he had gone back to the Hokage's office at this time.

Soon, Kushina, who had just left to heat up the food, returned. She put all the heated food on the table and handed a pair of chopsticks to Orion. Because he hadn't eaten anything in the evening, Orion finished the heated food in no time.

After he finished eating, the bowl was taken away by his mother. She probably took it to be washed.

Orion returned to his room. His exhausted body lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling. His mind was filled with everything that had happened today.

In the morning, after buying the ninja tools, he had a conflict with Hyuga Hefeng from the Hyuga clan. He then ran to the outskirts of Konoha with the tools and weights to train his ninjutsu and taijutsu. Finally, when he was heading home at night, he was attracted by the sound of Guy's training and even had a fight with him.

Although that fight ended with him being purely虐 (nüè - abused/tortured) beaten, he still learned a lot from Guy. His methods of using taijutsu, small tricks, and so on were all more perfected.

It seems I should go find Guy for a fight whenever I have the chance in the future. This way, I can see my gains in battle, and I can also discover my own shortcomings in battle, as well as increase my practical combat experience.

No matter which of these it was, it was a great help to the current me. Although I had the help of the system and my strength could improve quickly, if I had practical combat with Guy, my strength should increase even faster.

Just like that, lost in his random thoughts, Orion slowly drifted off to sleep.

The night passed in the blink of an eye.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone through the window onto Orion's face, he finally woke up.

Last night, Orion had slept very soundly. After all, he had gone through that level of intense training yesterday, and when he came back, he had another fight with Guy. His whole body was very tired, so he fell asleep not long after lying on the bed.

After waking up today, the stamina that had been almost completely depleted in his body had been restored. Orion clenched his fist and felt his body was full of strength, as if it was a little bit stronger than yesterday.

Besides the complete recovery of his physical strength, the chakra in his body had also completely recovered now. Not only was it fully recovered, but his total chakra amount had also been increasing while he slept last night.

Orion closed his eyes and sensed the chakra within his body. Today's chakra amount had increased by nearly double compared to yesterday's. It seemed the growth rate of this chakra was still very fast.
