NOVEL NEXT Chapter 10: Chapter 10: Just Sell It
Every time Reiji fell, he would get back up with an increasingly determined look and try again, becoming more skilled at walking on the wall little by little.
On his tenth attempt, Reiji managed to walk on the wall for fifteen steps before the chakra in his feet disappeared again, causing him to fall once more.
Kushina, who this time did not laugh, looked at Reiji with an expression of admiration that was beginning to etch itself on her face.
In her heart, Kushina began to realize that even though he often forgot, Reiji was someone who did not easily give up.
Reiji was now lying on the floor, panting heavily.
Sweat poured down from Reiji's body, soaking his clothes until they felt sticky against his skin.
After a long training session filled with ups and downs, Reiji's body felt heavy, but there was a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.
"Brother Reiji! How could you do that so quickly?" Kushina's voice, full of admiration, startled Reiji.
Kushina was now standing beside Reiji with sparkling eyes, looking amazed as if witnessing a miracle.
Reiji looked at Kushina in confusion. "Quickly?" he asked, still panting.
"Yes! On your twenty-fifth attempt, you managed to walk around the entire living room wall without falling! That's incredible!" Kushina exclaimed enthusiastically, nearly jumping with joy.
Reiji was taken aback. "Eh?" He hadn't even realized he had achieved that.
"So, how did you do that?" Kushina asked with curiosity, leaning her face closer.
Reiji smiled, holding back laughter. "You just have to work hard and... not give up," he replied with a slight smile, feeling proud of his efforts.
"That's a lie!" Kushina exclaimed, pinching Reiji's stomach.
"Ahk! Hey!" Reiji squirmed in pain, then rubbed his pinched stomach.
"Hmph! Brother Reiji is annoying!" Kushina shouted in an annoyed tone, then ran to the dining room where Karina was sitting with a pile of Explosive Paper in front of her.
Reiji looked at Kushina with a tired expression, then whispered to himself, "Why is that girl so much like her sister...?"
Reiji shook his head, then tried to calm himself before getting up and joining the dining table to enjoy his meal.
At the table, Reiji observed Karina, who was seriously applying ink to the Chakra Paper.
Kushina seemed to be sitting quietly next to Karina, enthusiastically counting the number of Explosive Papers she had finished making.
After finishing his meal, Reiji prepared to practice walking on the wall again, this time with a renewed spirit that strengthened him.
As the afternoon began to approach, Reiji finally stopped his training.
Sweat still drenched Reiji's face, but now his body felt lighter.
Meanwhile, Karina wrapped up her activities, packing away the food containers that Reiji had finished eating.
"Hey, aren't you taking home the Explosive Papers you made?" Reiji asked, confused by the pile of paper left on the table by Karina.
Karina turned with a flat expression. "For what? That's your Chakra Paper and Chakra Ink, right? If you need money, just sell it. I only used it for practice," Karina said calmly, without a hint of hesitation.
Reiji stared at Karina for a moment, then nodded, understanding her point. "Hm... you're right. Tomorrow I'll sell it," Reiji said with a slight smile.
Karina shrugged without expression. "Whatever, let's go home, Kushina," she called.
"Okay, Sister!" Kushina replied, joyfully jumping over to Karina.
Reiji could only smile at the closeness of the two sisters, which, despite often teasing him, made his home feel more alive.
Watching Karina and Kushina leave, Reiji stepped toward the dining table.
His eyes were fixed on the pile of Explosive Papers scattered in front of him.
With a burning curiosity, Reiji began to examine and pay attention to every detail.
