Upon seeing him, Xiaoying's eyes lit up, and a blush immediately spread across her pretty face.

"Mr. Bits, it's been a long time. What a coincidence."

Risaku: Yay! That's amazing! This must be destiny!!

Looking at the handsome man walking towards her, Ino quickly recalled that he was the Fifth Raikage she had met at the gates of Konoha a few days ago.

She was immediately startled and turned to look at her best friend in surprise, wondering how Sakura, a genin from Konoha, knew such an important person.

Hinata also recognized Beethoven's identity, and then, as if she had thought of something, her face turned pale and she carefully hid behind the two girls.

Hinata still remembers being kidnapped by the Cloud Village ninja when she was a child, so she is somewhat afraid of 943 Beethoven, who is the Raikage.

But at the same time, her gaze toward Bits held a hint of curiosity and longing.

How did this man, who doesn't look much older than her, become the Raikage?

If she could have half of his abilities, perhaps her father wouldn't be so disappointed in her.

"It has been a long time since we last met. I heard that your Team 7 participated in the Chunin Exams. I was thinking of going to the third round to cheer you on."

Hearing what Bitz said, Sakura was very excited, but when she thought about how she had been eliminated, she immediately lowered her head in disappointment.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, I was eliminated in the second exam."

"Really? I'm sorry, I didn't expect it and I hurt your feelings."

"No, no, I'm very happy that you still remember me."

Seeing the two talking so familiarly, Ino's doubts deepened.

Especially when Ino saw Sakura looking shy and unable to meet the other person's eyes, a thought suddenly occurred to her, and she had a guess that she herself could not believe.

Immediately, Ino nudged Sakura with her elbow, pretending not to know Beethoven, and asked her:

"Hey, Sakura, who's this handsome guy? Why don't you introduce him to me?"

"Don't talk nonsense. This is Mr. Bitz, the Daimyo and Raikage of the Land of Lightning."

"Oh, Mr. Bits, no, sir. It seems you two have a good relationship."

Ino's teasing tone immediately made Sakura blush. She glanced at Beethoven, and seeing that he didn't react much, she pulled Ino away and quietly explained how the two of them met.

Upon learning that Class 7 had quietly carried out such an interesting mission, Ino felt a pang of envy.

She also wanted to be this handsome man's tour guide and receive some good advice from him.

As she thought about it, a glint of something unreadable appeared in her eyes, but she concealed it well and didn't let Sakura notice.

"Hey Sakura, the other person you mentioned you like, could it be Mr. Beetz?"

Shh, don't say it, or someone might overhear.

Sakura shyly covered Ino's mouth, and although she didn't say anything, this action already answered the question.

Ino's heart sank, and she couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

I'm sorry, Sakura, it seems we're destined never to be true best friends.

After all, I really like this man!

I humbly beg all my esteemed readers to give me more flowers and monthly tickets, and I desperately request that you urge me to update more frequently and provide rewards. I would be eternally grateful.

!

After the two female mice finished their whispered conversation, Beetz curiously asked Sakura:

"Sakura, are these two beautiful ladies also your friends?"

"Yes, this is Yamanaka Ino, and this is Hyuga Hinata. They are both my classmates who graduated in the same year as me as genin."

Sakura answered almost every question from Beetz. Ino, watching from the side, secretly shook her head.

Immediately, before Beetz could speak, Ino greeted him first:

"Lord Daimyo, I am Yamanaka Ino. It is a great honor to meet you."

Hinata, who had been pretending to be mute, suddenly appeared.

Compared to the more casual Ino, her manners were more in line with Beetz's stereotypical image of a well-bred lady.

Hinata first crossed her arms in front of her abdomen, then leaned forward at a 45-degree angle, bending her knees slightly, and greeted him:

"Your Excellency, I am Hinata, the eldest daughter of Hyuga Hiashi, the head of the Hyuga clan in the Land of Fire. I pay my respects and wish Your Excellency good health."

These words instantly made Sakura and Ino realize the gap between them.

Sakura: Is this the young lady from a noble family? She's amazing!

Ino: Hinata, isn't she taking this a little too seriously?

Even Bits was somewhat speechless. He carefully recalled the etiquette lessons he received when he succeeded as the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning, and replied as meticulously as possible:

"Rise, and give my regards to Lord Hiashi."

"Yes, I will obey your orders. I thank you on behalf of my father."

Hinata then bowed again before standing up.

The three people: "..."

Seeing Hinata's serious expression, Beetz didn't want the conversation to continue in this awkward manner.

He coughed lightly and quickly said:

"Anything is fine. Compared to the title of Daimyo of the Land of Lightning, I still prefer the title of Raikage."

Don't call me Daimyo-dono, just call me Mr. Bits, like Sakura does.

Although Ino is also the eldest daughter of the Yamanaka clan, she also cannot stand overly formal ways of speaking.

So she immediately chimed in, and changed the subject:

"Well, Mr. Bits, what brings you to the training ground?"

"Since you're free anyway, do you want to train with us?"

"Ino!" Hinata called out nervously, then whispered:

"Isn't this inappropriate? It's rather impolite."

Sakura then stepped forward to comfort her, "It's okay, Hinata, relax. Mr. Bits is very easygoing."

After the two women interrupted her, Hinata reluctantly abandoned the Hyuga clan's rules and accepted this impolite way of getting along.

Bitz secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Hinata was good in every way, except that she was taught by Hiashi Hyuga to be too particular about rules.

However, upon further reflection, he realized that this was actually quite good. Hinata's reaction would be very interesting when he started breaking the rules in the future.

Looking at Hinata, who was as innocent and shy as a fawn, Beetz secretly began to look forward to their time together.

"Cough, training? What kind of training? Do you want to spar with me?"

"Hmm, is that alright? I'm really curious about Lord Raikage's strength~~" The bold Ino extended an invitation to Bitz with enthusiasm, while also giving him a flirtatious wink from an angle that Sakura and Hinata couldn't see.

Of the four beauties of Konoha, Ino is definitely the most uninhibited.

After subtly receiving Ino's flirtatious glance, Beetz thought to himself.

"It's not that I don't want to agree, it's just that I am the Raikage after all, and the gap between me and you is not just a little bit."

"Then, Lord Bits, could you show us some Cloud Village ninjutsu?"

Sakura couldn't let Ino show her face in front of Beetz alone, so she immediately begged Beetz.

"I want to see ninjutsu~", Bits pretended to be reluctant.

Seeing this, Sakura and Ino immediately launched an attack. The two girls stepped forward together, grabbed his arms on the left and right, and pulled him to the pond in the training field.

Ino: "Just showing off a little bit."

Sakura: "Yeah, we promise we'll never steal your techniques."

Hinata: "I... I'm a little curious too."

Looking at the three women's beautiful faces, each with its own unique charm, Beetz thought for a moment and decided to put on a show.

"Alright, since you want to see, I'll show you what I can do."

"Yay! Long live~~" *2

"Thank you, Mr. Bits."

Under the expectant gazes of the three women, Beetz clapped his hands in a mock ceremony, then pointed his palms at the pond and whispered:

"Lightning Release: Lightning Ball".

As soon as he finished speaking, a lightning ball the size of a watermelon, crackling loudly, appeared in his palm.

As soon as Bitts had a thought, the lightning ball shot out and crashed into the pond. Instantly, a visible current covered the entire pond, and a huge explosion occurred in the center of the pond, sending up a water column at least 10 meters high.

"Yeah~" Hinata screamed and reached out to shield herself from the splashing water.

But before the water droplets could fall, Bitts waved his hand, scattering all the water droplets that were falling on the four of them.

"Wow—ah~" The three women were so amazed by Beetz's move that they exclaimed in admiration.

The look in their eyes was now filled with admiration.

Even Hinata, who was initially somewhat afraid of Pisces, unconsciously changed her mind at this point.

Lord Bits is really gentle.

Once the water jets subsided and the pond returned to calm, Sakura quickly asked what was wrong.

"Bitz, how did you do that? You didn't even form any hand seals, you just slapped your hands together and released such a powerful ninjutsu."

Ino: "Yeah, yeah, teach us how to do that."

Hinata: "If it's alright, please give me some pointers as well."

Amid the three women's requests for advice, Bitches slightly curled the corners of her lips.

"It's nothing, just the manifestation of chakra control at its extreme."

If you are familiar enough with the operating mechanism of a ninjutsu and have a high degree of confidence in your chakra control.

Alternatively, the hand seals can be omitted, and the ninjutsu can be used directly. Or, as a compromise, a few hand seals can be simplified.

The three nodded thoughtfully, but this kind of thing was actually not very useful to Hinata, since her Gentle Fist didn't require hand seals. However, she still listened with great interest.

Of the three, only Sakura, who came from a commoner background, was most interested in the techniques that Hitz described. After hearing what he said, she immediately became eager to try them out:

"I... I'll give it a try."

As she spoke, she took two steps forward, walked to the edge of the pool, put her hands together, closed her eyes, and began to circulate her chakra.

"Water Release: Chaotic Waves!"

Suddenly, she gave a soft shout and opened her mouth as if to spit.

Then, the three of them watched as Sakura spat out a thin stream of water that could be used to water flowers.

Sakura: "..."

"Hahaha, Sakura, you're so lame," Ino mocked mercilessly.

"Shut up, I'm just not good enough yet, I'll definitely be able to do it next time!"

Sakura blushed and retorted, then mobilized her chakra again and began to release ninjutsu.

However, she failed to release the water ripples several times in a row, only managing to make the water column a little larger.

For a moment, Sakura felt a little disappointed, and even Ino stopped mocking her.

"Mr. Bits, am I really that useless? I can't even release a ninjutsu properly."

Seeing her dejected appearance, Beetz chuckled and went over to ruffle her smooth, long hair, offering words of comfort:

"Don't be discouraged. This is a technique that even Jonin may not be able to master. To be honest, I'm already quite surprised that you can use it and have even improved this time."
