Chapter 26: Spiral Pellet Training Begins, Meng Ling is Deceived

  "Hmm, didn't expect to be so tired. Why didn't you remind me earlier? Sigh, it's still over an hour until 6 am, might as well sleep a bit more. *sigh* I'm exhausted." Meng Ling rubbed her slightly sore waist and complained somewhat discontentedly.

  It seems that in her own spiritual world, everything Dreaming does will appear as uncomfortable symptoms on her body in the present. This is also why the mysterious female voice reminded Dreaming to grasp time well.

  At 7:00 in the morning, Meng Ling rubbed her sleepy eyes and went out listlessly. She had nothing to do this afternoon, but she had promised to play with Ming Ren this afternoon.

  For what happened in the afternoon, Meng Ling could only sweat profusely. After all, Meng Ling's actual age had long passed his childhood, and his extraordinary experiences as a child in the previous world made his life different from that of his peers. Now, in the world of Naruto, Meng Ling and Naru ate ramen for the first time yesterday, and she felt the freedom and carefree feeling of her childhood for the first time in her life. To be honest, even now, Meng Ling is still very attached to that feeling.

  But as soon as it comes to playing, Meng Ling's heart still has some resistance.

  "Just think of it as playing with Xiao Ming, but let's forget about the ninja game, it's simply a different world version of 'Home Sweet Home'. After making up her mind, Meng Leng went straight to a ramen shop. She had breakfast there and even helped Ramen Uncle deliver an express delivery. During this time, Meng Leng also bought many palm-sized balloons at a roadside stall. Only after doing all these things did Meng Leng start practicing in the third training ground."

  Why did Mugen choose the third training ground? The reason is simple, because ten years later, Naruto faced Kakashi-sensei's survival training here.

  "Ten years, it seems my time isn't much either. I hope that within these ten years, I can reach the level of a Shadow." Meng Ling looked around and after confirming no one was there, she began her two most desired cultivations - cultivating Spiral Sphere and Eight Gates Concealment Technique.

  In the plot of Naruto, the only advanced ninja training method that has been revealed to readers is Rasengan and Senjutsu. However, Meng Ling did not sign any spiritual contract with the Toad clan, and he knew that the exotic beasts and divine beasts he had signed contracts with were existences that appeared in ancient Chinese and foreign myths, absolutely incomparable to the toads that signed contracts with Jiraiya. So, for now, Meng Ling would not go to practice Senjutsu. Excluding Senjutsu, Meng Ling could only learn Rasengan. Because this ninja technique is extremely powerful.

  Meng Ling wants to cultivate the Eight Gates of Formation because it can increase his chakra, and if he combines it with the Chinese ancient art of colliding holes that he knows, Meng Ling will definitely be able to use the perfect Large Jade Spiral Pill and even stronger "Wind Escape - Spiral Pill Sword" in the future.

  "I still don't know the exact positions of the Eight Gates, so I'll ask Kakashi-sensei's 'opponent' about it later. For now, let's focus on training with Rasengan. Shadow Clone Jutsu!" With a loud "Bam!", three clones of Meng appeared around him. Since Meng's chakra wasn't abundant, creating three clones was already his limit. If he created any more, he wouldn't be able to sustain them.

  "Alright, now let's start with the first stage of training, one step at a time." Meng instructed her own clone. After watching Naruto train the Rasengan, Meng had come up with her own training method. She knew that if she started by training the "One-Person Rasengan", it would be a huge waste of time. But if she trained in the "Two-Person Rasengan" like Naruto did first, and found the key to it, her training speed would definitely increase greatly. So Meng decided to learn how to release chakra like Naruto first, then gradually perfect her own Rasengan, even improving upon it.

  "Got it." Meng Ling's three clones responded in unison, each taking a few balloons and heading to the small stream by the third training ground. After preparing these water balls, Meng Ling herself followed her clones to start the first stage of Spiral Sphere cultivation, bursting the water balls.

  That's another dividing line

  In the morning, Meng Ling spent a perfect time in cultivation. Although she still can't make the water ball explode, at least she can now break it. Thinking back to when Naruto was training for the Rasengan, although he was a bit lucky, his efficiency was extremely high. In Meng Ling's opinion, she is also a genius who can often make unexpected moves, but in critical situations, Naruto's unpredictability is often the key to turning the tide. So, after all, Naruto is also an existence that "plays dumb and eats old tigers", and Akatsuki was defeated by his "unpredictability".

  "It's about time, isn't it? Let's stop here for today. It's not a good thing to stand someone up on the first meeting." After dismissing her shadow clone, Mei Ling stretched out her petite body and left the third training ground, heading straight for Naruto's place.

  About ten minutes later, Meng Ling arrived at the building where Naruto lived. She didn't take the stairs, but flew directly up to the floor and soon came to Naruto's room door.

  "Bang bang bang......"

  "Is that you, Naruto? Are you home?" she asked softly, tapping gently on his door.

  "Silence..."

  "Minato, are you at home?" Meng Ling was somewhat puzzled.

  "Still, quiet..."

  "Huh? What's going on? Did I come too early?" Meng Ling was somewhat perplexed. But after thinking about it, she still felt that something wasn't right, so she came up with a very immoral method - to slip away without unlocking the door.

  "Body of Sand." Mēng Líng hummed a low note outside the door, and her entire body immediately transformed into a sand-like physique composed of sand grains. Gradually, she turned into a patch of yellow sand that flowed in through the gap under the door of Míng Rén's room.

  When she arrived at Naruto's room, Meng Ling had just converted her body back to its original ordinary appearance. Her eyebrows furrowed as she saw a big pile of scrolls, instant noodle boxes, clothes and even - stinky socks scattered all over the floor in Naruto's room. At this time, Naruto was lying on his messy bedspread, snoring loudly.

  "I finally understand now, why one of the three legendary Sannin, Jiraiya-sama always comes to see Naruto through the window. It's a really good method." Looking at Naruto who was sleeping soundly on the bed, Mei Terumi walked quietly to his side and took a deep breath.

  "Get up, idiot." Meng Ling had wanted to shout loudly in her usual manner, but unfortunately, she seemed to have forgotten that she was currently in a female body. As a result, the voice that came out was sweet and sticky, and instead of waking up Naru, it startled herself.

  "Hey, wake up. Hey." After collecting her emotions, Meng Leng let out a long sigh and pushed Ming Ren who was still fast asleep.

  "Oh no, don't, I haven't eaten enough yet, bring me another bowl." But to his surprise, Naruto still didn't wake up, and directly turned over, burying his head under the pillow.

  ...... Seeing this, Meng Ling didn't say a word, but the expression on his face was clearly very bad, and a large pile of "#" symbols appeared above his head.

  "Get up quickly!!!"

  "Boom......" All that could be heard was a loud noise, and Naruto on the bed had already been thrown against the wall by Naruto. Although he hadn't used much strength, the pained Naruto still woke up.

  "What's going on? Is it an earthquake or something? It hurts." The just-woken Naruto looked around blankly, but completely failed to notice that there was someone else in his room.

  "Yo, Naruto-kun, slept well?" Seeing that Naruto seemed to have not noticed her, Meng Leng secretly wiped the sweat in her heart and still greeted him.

  "Huh? Isn't that Mei Ling? How did you get in?" Fortunately, Naruto's reaction wasn't extremely bad, his first question hit the point.

  "There's something in this world called a window." Meng Ling raised her hand and pointed to the window behind her with her thumb.

  "Oh, I see. I just had a dream that you turned into sand, and it really gave me a fright." Meng Ling said with some embarrassment.

  "Huh?" Upon hearing this sentence, Meng Leng finally believed that the sixth sense also existed in this world. Otherwise, it was as if Naru had really seen himself turn into a sandy physique at that moment.

  "Alright, those are no longer important. Now shouldn't you properly explain the reason for your absence?" Meng Ling asked with her hands on her hips and a huff.

  "Hmm, this... I don't think I stood you up, the agreed meeting place was my home, Meng Ling." Naruto said in a low voice.

  "Uh..." After hearing this sentence, Meng Ling was suddenly speechless. Indeed, the meeting place she and Ming Ren had agreed on yesterday was Ming Ren's home, and now it was already afternoon, so it didn't count as standing him up at all.

  "But you left me standing outside for a long time, shouldn't you make it up to me?" Seeing that she was in the wrong, Meng Leng immediately launched her favorite move - finding fault in others.

  "This...". Naruto was somewhat at a loss, but Mugino saw Naruto's current appearance and felt a bit more comfortable in his heart. After all, he had been taken advantage of by the number one fool in Konoha.

  "No need to say anything else, you're treating me to ramen today." Meng Ling said generously.

  "But..."

  "There's nothing to hesitate about, it's decided then." Meng Ling said as she immediately pulled Ming Ren's hand and walked out, causing Little Ming Ren's heart to skip a beat.
