The Boundless Journey, Starting From Bofuri

Ebina’s wild thoughts went unnoticed by Takeru, busy in the kitchen handling ingredients with the others.

"Takeru, is Miki a follower like me?" In the kitchen, Karin directly asked Takeru.

"Yes." Hearing her, Takeru was somewhat surprised, unsure how she knew.

"Actually, when I saw Karin-senpai, I also felt something special." Miki quickly added.

"So that’s how it is?" Hearing both, Takeru spoke in surprise. Followers having a special sense was new to him, but it had its benefits, which prevented conflicts from not recognizing each other. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

With their help, dinner was quickly ready. Takeru was also surprised by Miki. He remembered Miki couldn’t cook during the task world, but now, she handled cooking skillfully.

"When you weren’t here, I learned some cooking from Megu-nee. I wanted to cook for you personally." Seeing Takeru’s confusion, Miki blushed and explained.

"Is that so? Thank you." Hearing her, Takeru nodded with a light laugh.

Since the three went shopping today, they bought many ingredients. Takeru used some for dinner, while the rest went into the large fridge.

Then, Takeru took out a giant strawberry and some fruits Miu and the others bought to make a salad as dessert...

As dishes were served, the waiting Ebina unconsciously swallowed.

"Alright, let’s eat!" After placing the last dish, Takeru smiled and spoke to everyone.

"Let’s eat!" Hearing Takeru, Miu put her hands together, said the phrase, then quickly started eating.

"Delicious!" After putting a fried shrimp in her mouth and chewing, Miu brightened up and cheered.

"Eat more if you like it. There’s plenty." Seeing Miu enjoy it, Takeru smiled.

Ebina eyed a piece of braised pork rib. Putting it in her mouth and feeling the taste, she closed her eyes, savoring it.

Karin and Miki rarely had Chinese cuisine, and after tasting, they were quickly captivated.

After dinner, Miki and Ebina washed the dishes. Takeru brought out the pre-prepared salad. Tasting it, everyone was surprised.

Especially Karin and Miki, who are trying the giant strawberry for the first time.

After finishing a large bowl of fruit, everyone showed satisfied smiles. Ebina gently rubbed her stomach... even with her large appetite, she was somewhat full.

Knowing her appetite, Takeru always prepared ample food.

After dinner, Ebina sat for a while, then got up to leave. Although she wished to stay like Karin and Miki, she knew this wasn’t her home and she couldn’t be so willful...

After seeing Ebina off, Takeru, at the doorstep, created a shadow clone. His main body went to the single apartment, then directly entered the Reincarnation Space.

Inside, without overthinking, Takeru opened the training space and entered.

Having ample time this time, Takeru didn’t activate fivefold time flow but threefold... which cost 120 points per hour.

After activating it, Takeru directly used Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.

Instantly, twelve Takeru appeared. The main body sat down to training Chakra, while the others began studying Ninjutsu.

Inside the training space, Takeru could experiment freely. After the clones distanced themselves, each began training separately.

Eight Gates, Water Release, Fire Release, Earth Release, Lightning Release, Wind Release, Sealing Techniques, Genjutsu, Sharingan, Chakra Control, Rokushiki, Teigu development, etc.... clones started their own training.

As for the clone in the main world, after returning home, it trained with everyone. At home, large-scale techniques were impossible, so it practiced hand seals.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Seeing Takeru continuously forming incomprehensible seals.

"I’m training hand seals for Ninjutsu." Hearing her, Takeru calmly explained.

"Ninjutsu?" Hearing Takeru, Miu became interested.

"Yes. But you should focus on your Nen now, don’t waste your talent." Seeing Miu’s greed, Takeru quickly advised.

"Hmph, I know already!" Hearing Takeru, Miu said discontentedly.

Though Miki had the Chakra Extraction Technique, she wasn’t familiar with seals. But she followed Takeru’s advice: increase Chakra first, then consider other things.

Watching his seals, Takeru, with coordination and control far surpassing ordinary people, could match seal speeds of Sasuke and others who trained for years in the Ninja World.

But for Takeru, this was insufficient. At least surpassing Itachi’s seal speed was Takeru’s first small goal. With high base attributes, Takeru believed it wouldn’t take long.

Time slowly passed over several days.

During this period, though Takeru’s main body mostly stayed in the Reincarnation Space’s training area, he occasionally emerged.

Compared to monotonous training, Takeru enjoyed life. After all, Takeru’s initial goal was having strong strength to live well in this world, so he didn’t want to prioritize training over life.

However, one thing was excellent: in just three days, Takeru spent 6,000 points in the Reincarnation Space and 1,000 points to exchange for the Three Basic Ninjutsu.

Though costly, Takeru’s achievements were gratifying.

With numerous shadow clones, all Takeru’s Ninjutsu reached beginner or intermediate levels. The Senjutsu Chakra Extraction Technique, aided by the Advanced Skill Enhancement Scroll, directly reached advanced level.

Additionally, Takeru could now directly open six of the Eight Gates. The immense power gave Takeru an illusion of being able to destroy the world.

Moreover, Takeru could easily maintain six gates for over an hour, then feel weak for a few hours, with no other damage...

Even maintaining for just an hour, Takeru wouldn’t enter a weak state. Mainly, the Senju bloodline and Hyper Regeneration talent made his recovery too formidable.

However, the Eight Gates weren’t all benefits. In that state, Takeru’s speed and power surged dramatically, making self-control difficult. A slight lapse could cause massive destruction.

So, during training, besides developing the Eight Gates, Takeru adapted to it. He wouldn’t use it unless necessary, to avoid losing control.

Of course, opening just the first three gates was manageable, and Takeru wouldn’t rampage and could control speed and power.

Besides the Eight Gates, there was Ninjutsu. With Senjutsu Chakra, ordinary B-Rank Ninjutsu could easily cause disaster-level damage... equivalent to S-Rank Ninjutsu in the Naruto World. A-Rank was even more terrifying.

Takeru tried Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique, which could fill a 50-meter cube container, and it’s not even at full power. That means Takeru could summon lake-level water at once.

Besides developing Ninjutsu power, Takeru focused on control and practicality.

In Takeru’s view, besides attack, Water Release could serve many purposes in daily life...

Earth Release, besides attack and defense, could also be applied in life.

After all, Takeru didn’t lack attack methods, so Ninjutsu development wasn’t just about power but more about practicality and flexibility.
