Chương 4: Ino: Are you really my mother?

In the Naruto world, there is no "power of existence" to support the use of the Free Technique, so the energy consumed becomes his chakra.

With his current chakra reserves, Yang Cheng wouldn't need to use many of his Free Techniques like Azure Flame.

As for freezing time and space, which is comparable to a profound technique, only Yang Cheng in Shana's world can do so by consuming his own existence power.

Yang Cheng from other worlds would probably have to resort to "paying with his life" to use him.

Fortunately, even without using his trump card, the physical attributes he received from Shana and Pirate Yangcheng have significantly improved his strength.

Moreover, this is just the beginning. Since they were able to reach that space, it means that there are very likely other Yangcheng in other worlds.

When more Yang Cheng appears in the future, or a few more powerful figures arrive, let alone Nizusako, even if aliens like the Otsutsuki come, Yang Cheng can easily pin them to the ground and rub them repeatedly.

"Yo, and Ino, you're a little late today. I don't remember it being your turn to do chores today?"

Yang Cheng has his own home, but because his parents have both passed away, he either eats instant noodles when he goes home alone or eats other things outside.

Ino's mother, Rino Yamanaka, was worried that Yosei's constant consumption of junk food would affect his growth, so she had Yosei come to the Yamanaka family's house for all three meals a day.

Rino Yamanaka had always wanted a son, but unfortunately Ino was boyless.

Yang Cheng's parents died trying to save her husband, and Yang Cheng was someone she had raised since he was a child, so she had long regarded Yang Cheng as her own son.

"He probably made a mistake at the ninja academy, so Iruka kept him behind, right?"

Yamanaka Inoichi, who was also sitting in the living room, put down his newspaper and spoke.

Upon hearing Yamanaka Inoichi's words, Yamanaka Rino turned to look at Ino beside her, her expression becoming somewhat stern as she asked, "Ino, what mistake did you make at school this time?"

I told you that you're already so old, can't you be a little more sensible and learn from Yang Cheng?

In the past, every time I went to a parent-teacher meeting, other parents would ask me, "I'm the one raising and educating both of your children, so why is there such a big difference?"

Ino: (･_･; Are you really my biological mother?) Although Ino was a bit mischievous as a child, compared to the academically gifted Sakura, Ino was indeed a poor student.

But since he was late this time, it was his own fault, and Yang Cheng was too embarrassed to let Ino take the blame for him.

"Aunt Rino, I was the one punished by Iruka-sensei this time because I fell asleep in class..."

Ino, who had been wrongly accused, stood with her hands on her hips, waiting for her mother to apologize.

However, she was stunned the next second because her mother, Rino Yamanaka, showed no intention of apologizing to her.

Instead, she ran up to Yang Cheng with a worried look on her face, cupped his face in her hands, and said with concern, "Yang Cheng fell asleep in class."

What could be the reason? Are you feeling unwell? Or did you not sleep well last night?

"Your auntie already told you to move in here. Your house is all empty and you're all alone; it must be so lonely. We have plenty of spare rooms."

Faced with Rino Yamanaka's almost overflowing affection, no matter how many times it happened, Yosei felt that he couldn't handle it.

"Aunt Rino, I'm fine. It's just that I'm a little worried and anxious because I have my graduation exams coming up soon."

Yosei knew Yamanaka Rino well; if he didn't give her a reason, she would never feel at ease.

"What? It's such a small thing. If you're worried about not being able to graduate, then such concerns are completely unnecessary."

The graduation exam at the Ninja Academy is generally not too difficult, and with Yang Cheng's strength, passing the exam shouldn't be a problem, let alone ranking at the top of the class.

Yang Cheng always thought his talent was mediocre, but in the eyes of Yamanaka Rino, who was also a commoner ninja in the past, his talent and ability were already quite outstanding.

He was able to extract chakra on his own by using a scroll when he was just a few years old, and he had already mastered C-rank ninjutsu when he entered the ninja academy.

You should know that her Ino only recently mastered the Yamanaka family's technique of changing hearts.

Children often become proud or complacent when they achieve something, but Rino never saw such a flaw in Yosei.

Despite being so outstanding, she remains so hardworking and humble, gentle and polite, yet also very reserved and sensible.

Compared to him, Rino always felt that apart from Ino inheriting her good looks, the unfortunate child had not inherited any of her other good genes.

That's right, Ino's incompetence is definitely due to the poor quality of her father Yamanaka Inoichi's sperm.

In any case, it certainly can't be that there's something wrong with Yamanaka Rino's parenting style.

Didn't you see that Yang Cheng, who was also raised by her, is exceptionally outstanding in both personality and academic performance?

You should know that the parents of those ninja school students often patronize her family's flower shop.

Whenever someone mentions how outstanding Yang Cheng is, Yamanaka Rino always looks proud of herself.

That's right. Although Yang Cheng wasn't her biological child, she raised him single-handedly.

Yang Cheng's maturity and excellence are naturally related to the education he received from a young age, so it's normal for Rino to feel proud.

What? You're asking about Ino?

Rino Yamanaka could only say that it was definitely not her fault that her daughter was raised badly; it must be because her father, Inoichi Yamanaka, had spoiled and pampered her too much.

"Iruka-sensei is going too far. It's just that I was too tired and did doze off a little in class. Is it really necessary to make such a big deal out of it?"

When I run into him again, I'll definitely have a good talk with him!

One second Yamanaka Rino was criticizing Yamanaka Inoichi for spoiling and pampering his daughter, but the next second she uttered words that left the Yamanaka father and daughter speechless.

However, Ino and Yamanaka Inoichi didn't dare utter a single word about Yamanaka Rino's double standards.

Because they are quite clear about who the real "head of the household" is!

Yamanaka Inoichi? A hypocritical king.

Even if we include Ino and Harumaru, he is firmly in the position of "youngest brother in the family," while Yamanaka Rino is the true head of the family!

At the dinner table, Rino Yamanaka still couldn't contain her overflowing maternal love, constantly putting food on Yosei's plate and encouraging him to do his best in his graduation exams in a few days. She was looking forward to making the parents proud in front of the other parents at the parent-teacher conference.

I can't count on my daughter, Yamanaka Ino, as long as I don't embarrass her, that's fine.
