Chapter 27: Silly Audiences are jumping to some very strange conclusion.s.

Today was a rare day off, and the temperature was perfect, making it a very suitable day for a walk.

Hanabi placed her hands in front of her body and took small, mincing steps, gracefully strolling through the streets of Konoha Village.

Hanabi’s strides were very small, each step less than half the length of her foot. Her kimono was very form-fitting, but form-fitting also meant Hanabi couldn’t take large steps.

But Hanabi’s movements made her demeanor appear anything but constrained; it seemed as if the clothes posed no restriction at all, and she was merely taking a leisurely stroll.

Everything felt “completely natural.”

This was an improvement in “acting skills.”

Not an improvement in performance ability, but rather integrating acting into her daily life, into her very existence.

It wasn’t about performing gentleness, nor acting out the “Yamato Nadeshiko” archetype, but radiating that elegant and virtuous temperament from the inside out.

According to Master Jingliu’s arrangement, Hanabi maximized the restrictions of her training mode as much as possible, limiting herself almost to the level of a “weak woman.”

Gravity suppressed her body, and the clothes themselves exerted tremendous restraint and pressure. But this degree was just right for cultivation.

The effect of such a walk was actually better than Hanabi training desperately.

“As expected of Master Jingliu.” Hanabi couldn’t help but sigh in her heart.

“I see. You attach chakra to the soles of your feet. When moving, although you don’t take large strides, your speed isn’t slow—no, is it even faster than walking?”

A voice came from the side.

“Good day. Sasuke-kun.”

Hanabi turned to the side.

Sasuke, hands in his pockets, was observing Hanabi.

After being hinted at by Kakashi before, Sasuke had started paying attention.

Hanabi appeared leisurely, but her speed was astonishing: “Is it weights? No, resistance? Using chakra to finely control your travel distance—is this also training?”

Not changing the action itself, but using chakra to assist movement; Sasuke was somewhat surprised by Hanabi’s control over chakra and muscles.

Since last time, Sasuke had also tied weights to his body. He knew deeply how much weights affected movement; every action was impacted. But Hanabi looked so natural; this control ability was simply astonishing.

“You could say that, but you can’t reach this level,” Hanabi said.

“Why?” Sasuke was very concerned.

“My senses are keener than the average person, so I can perceive the outside world by releasing chakra. This is very precise work; do you understand now?”

Sasuke naturally understood.

Hanabi had been doing this continuously for ten years. Her fine control over chakra compared to his was like heaven and earth.

“And I was actually proud and complacent before.” Sasuke sighed in his heart.

But the title of Uchiha Stress King wasn’t earned in vain.

When a genius has it harder and works harder than himself, Sasuke realized that what he did before was not enough.

“Hanabi, train me.” Sasuke spoke in a deep voice. “That guy Kakashi is too lazy, but this won’t do. I have things I must do, people I must kill, so… please train me!”

Sasuke Uchiha had a mission he must complete: to kill the man who exterminated the Uchiha clan, his own brother.

“Hanabi!” Just as the two were talking, a shouting voice came from the distance.

Both Hanabi and Sasuke recognized such an energetic voice immediately.

“Ah, Sasuke! Why are you with Hanabi?!” The person running over from the distance was naturally Naruto.

Naruto was quite happy to see Hanabi, but after running over, he actually saw Sasuke too.

Naruto instantly became unhappy.

“Since you’re both here—let’s begin,” Hanabi said.

“Huh? What?” Naruto looked bewildered, still out of the loop.

Hanabi ignored the two and headed toward the forest beside the village.

Hanabi’s attention was drawn at this moment by the sudden start of the broadcast screen.

The image wasn’t the current scene, but scenes of Sasuke training, along with scenes of Naruto reading ninja scrolls at home.

Although it was a rest day, the two obviously started training early in the morning.

[Reporting for duty.]

[First!]

[It’s the same weights from the OP.]

[Starting to pad the runtime (water) again.]

[To the person above, I’ve noticed you for a long time. You’ve been complaining about padding since the first episode. Watch it if you like, get lost if you don’t.]

[Don’t pay attention to that kind of person. They’re the type who finish watching MyGO and then post comments saying ‘It’s over/watered down.’ If you engage, you lose.]

[So strange, I feel my wifey is even more charming today, prpr (licking sounds).]

[Quick, pull up the skirt, let me lick the ice cream!]

[I think we should crowdfund to buy Hanabi a pair of boots. Those small feet marinating in boots all day would definitely make the rice taste good.]

[Someone come, drag this Arknights bro away, quick!]

Episode 6 of the original work was already the Land of Waves arc, but the Dimensional Popularity Stage actually added a daily life episode here.

Hanabi was naturally pleased; this meant she could harvest more popularity.

“What are we doing here?” Naruto followed Sasuke and Hanabi to the outskirts inexplicably, still in a confused state.

[As expected of you, still out of the loop.]

[So wifey’s control over chakra is this strong.]

[Looks like training. This episode is definitely a training arc. I guess something big will happen in the next episode.]

[Seven or eight should be the swimsuit episode, right?]

[This is a long-running series; where would there be a swimsuit episode?]

[I saw Molotov Cocktail (Reviewer) saying he wants to roast this season’s new anime; seems he’ll mention Ninja Road.]

[Damn, didn’t wait for Lord Eight’s review but got Molotov Cocktail instead. Bad luck.]

[Grass (Slang for F**k/Damn – similar pronunciation).]

[Just don’t jinx it; I’d rather he stir up drama.]

[Just flame him when the time comes.]

The audience discussed in a clamor. The Lord Eight and Molotov Cocktail they discussed seemed to be well-known anime reviewers (UP hosts) on the video site.

“Of course it’s for training.” Hanabi walked under a tree. “Naruto, Sasuke, your potential is very strong. Even if you encounter a Chunin, your power gives you a chance to hold your own. But your control over chakra is very crude and simple.”

As Hanabi spoke, she walked up the tree.

She just walked up like that, her feet seeming to adhere to the tree trunk.

Naruto and Sasuke’s eyes widened directly.

[Damn.]

[As expected of Lady Hanabi, doing such a thing with ease.]

[Walking up a tree with two feet, ouch, my lost Chunibyo soul is chasing me.]

[If Hanabi turns upside down, will the skirt flip over?]

[Dying of laughter, haven’t you heard of the 2D anti-gravity skirt?]

The netizens were truly talented, their imaginations instantly reaching outrageous levels; even Hanabi was somewhat speechless.

However, the netizens were destined to be disappointed. Hanabi’s kimono was very form-fitting; even if she turned upside down, it wouldn’t lift even a bit.

Hanabi walked from the trunk onto a branch, hanging upside down beneath the branch like that: “This is the first stage of training. If you can complete it within a week, hmm… I know, then I’ll treat you to a trip to a hot spring inn~”

[It’s over, the swimsuit episode is gone!]

[Two-part allegorical saying (Xiehouyu): Hanabi treats guests — GG (Ji/Sent/Gone).]

[Dying of laughter, someone just said the next episode would be a swimsuit episode, now it’s directly banned.]

[Finished, it’s all finished.]

The goofy netizens were saying strange things again.

Hanabi tilted her head.

Why did she feel like she had gained some strange attributes in the hearts of this audience?
