That afternoon, I arrived at the village's training area. Waiting for me was Hinata with her bow and arrow.
As she waved, Hinata said with a shy smile, "Aizen, you came~"
"Didn't I promise I would come?" I replied with a warm smile.
"Yes, you did." She giggled in response, looking very happy.
Extending my hand, I patted her head with a gentle smile.
"I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long," I said.
She blushed even more at my gesture but didn't avoid my hand, and I could feel that although shy, she was happy.
"N-Not very long..." She stuttered a bit and blushed more deeply.
I let out a light chuckle and said, "I see, so shall we begin?"
When I withdrew my hand, I could see a slight disappointment on her face.
However, she composed herself and said, looking at me with her beautiful eyes, "Yes, let's."
Then she began to prepare, and in the meantime, I created 10 lightning clones and 5 wind clones.
The moment she made all the preparations, I said, "Start."
"Yes!" She nodded firmly and quickly pulled an arrow and shot at one of my clones that was escaping towards the forest.
"Whoosh!"
Very quickly, my clone changed direction, but to my surprise, the arrow changed direction and hit my clone's ear.
"Bang!"
When the arrow hit, my clone dispersed into gusts of wind blades, even affecting the other fleeing clones. Hinata took advantage of this and pulled another arrow and shot.
However, even when the arrow changed direction, what I noticed when looking in detail this time was that by wrapping the arrowhead with chakra, a small explosion happened, causing the arrow to change direction, although losing a bit of speed, it was still fast enough.
The main problem with this strategy was that once I figured it out, my clones wouldn't fall for the same trick, avoiding it by using Speed Style, moving very quickly in a zigzag.

'I believed that by reaching all my attributes to the maximum, something would happen, but...' I murmured in my heart a little disappointed. 'It seems I was mistaken.'
For almost an entire month, I held back and did not hastily increase any of my attributes. The good thing was that since they were at the maximum, the less remaining, the easier it seemed to raise each attribute to the maximum.
A good example was the most recent attribute, Spiritual Power. At first, it was difficult to increase, even using several clones, but after my other attributes reached their maximum limit, it became easier. From a maximum of 0.1/0.2 points I could gain per day, it increased until today I managed to increase it by 1 point, raising it to the maximum as well.
Thinking now, even with my attributes so high... I am still at the level of a common Jonin at most.
Jonins like Kakashi, Kurenai, Might Guy, etc., have at least one attribute above 300.
Even my father has more than two attributes above 300.
As for my mother, she has only one.
Okay, I got a little off track...
Returning my thoughts to what to do from now on, since I have 10 gold hammers and 1 silver one, it is possible to break the limit of all my attributes. However, I want to focus on only two for now, as it seems faster to elevate if I concentrate on just one.
Of course, I understand that in the long run, elevating several at the same time is more advantageous. However, at the moment, my goal is to reach the 300 mark with one of my attributes.
And that attribute would be my Chakra.
Although I have a decent chakra reserve, honestly, it's a bit disappointing because to keep creating several clones, I need to rely on nutritional pills. If I manage to increase my chakra reserve, I won't need to depend so much on these pills and will have more coins to spend on other things.
In just these few days, I've spent more than 500 weekly coins... A large enough amount to buy another Asauchi...
'By the way, I avoided paying attention to this before, but...' I thought. 'Several jutsus are already at 99.9%, just one step away from reaching 100%...'
The problem was that this last step was difficult to achieve, no matter how much I raised the corresponding jutsus.
'Thinking now... There's something I want to test.'
Creating a yin-yang wind clone, I asked him to call Kumo.
At the same time, I surrounded the entire dojo with genjutsu. Using my genjutsu to the maximum, for those who looked from the outside, it would seem like I was just training, but only those who entered the dojo would be able to see what was really happening.
Minutes later, the dojo door opened.
"Big Brother, are you looking for me?" She asked cheerfully as she approached with a smile.
"Yes, but before that, I need to talk about something important with you. So, sit down for a bit. It's going to be a bit long what I need to say, and I need you to keep what I'm going to say a secret, okay?" I said.
"Okay." She stopped smiling, adopting a more serious, even a little nervous expression, as she sat down in front of me.
"Well, where do I start..." I paused before saying, "Do you still remember that when you were little, you had a weak body, right?"
"Of course I remember." She nodded in agreement.
"Well, I hid this until now, but..." I said slowly. "I have a special Kekkei Genkai, and it made me able to break the 'chains' that limited your body from getting stronger, allowing you to get stronger and not have any more health problems."
Yakumo widened her eyes, bringing trembling hands to her mouth in surprise. "You did this for me?" she asked, her voice trembling.
"Yes," I confirmed.
She looked at me with gratitude and admiration. "I don't know how to thank you, Big Brother. This means a lot to me."
She then stood up and hugged me tightly, tears of emotion streaming down her face.
