Chapter 21: I Can Teach You
"Big Fox, what do you think?"
After Naruto finished speaking, he left the choice to the Nine-Tailed.
The Nine-Tailed's eyes widened.
From its birth until now, it had always acted on impulse.
That was until it met Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, suffered the harsh beatings of society, and was locked in a small dark room, never to see the light of day again.
Konoha likely no longer possessed Wood Release.
But the Sharingan and Sealing Jutsu were still there.
The Nine-Tailed recalled its last escape; it was almost exactly as Naruto described.
The moment it got out, it would be controlled by the Sharingan.
It was simply infuriating!
"Hmph, brat, understand that I am not afraid of you. A fellow like you isn't even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth."
The Nine-Tailed snorted coldly, shook its body, and said, "I am only agreeing because your conditions are decent."
Fine, fine, fine.
Whatever you say is right.
Since his goal had been achieved anyway, Narutodidn't care about the Big Fox's awkwardness.
"Then it's a deal. See you later, Big Fox."
Naruto smiled and reached out his hand.
The Nine-Tailed looked at the brat who was like an ant, controlled the force of its claw, and gave him a fist bump.
"Remember, I am called Kurama, not Big Fox."
"Got it, Big Fox."
Naruto took the opportunity to pat its orange fur and slipped away before it could get angry.
Emerging from the Sealing Space, he felt refreshed.
The feeling of blockage in his body had vanished, replaced by a sense of a massive upgrade.
Without the Nine-Tailed's interference, not only did his Ninjutsu learning speed improve, but even his Chakra refinement and physical recovery abilities saw a certain boost.
Carefully sensing the changes,
Naruto estimated it wouldn't be long before his Chakra capacity underwent an explosive growth. ]|I{•---» «---•}I|[
His Wandering Shadow Clone Plan had reached the stage where it should be implemented.
After some thought, Naruto arrived at Cat Grandma's ninja tool Shop.
Konoha had many well-known ninja tool shops.
For instance, the wealthy Tenten, who in the future would even use the Six Paths Sage's ninja tools as shop treasures.
Cat Grandma was also one of them.
It could be considered a ninja tool shop exclusive to the Uchiha Clan.
Of course, even if you weren't an Uchiha, you could still buy things here.
As long as you paid.
She was called Cat Grandma because she was the contact person for the Ninja Cat Clan.
If the Uchiha Clan or other Ninjas wanted a NinjaCat, they had to sign a Summoning Contract through her.
Naruto, naturally, wasn't here looking for a cat.
Toads from one of the three great holy lands of Summoned Beasts were much more powerful than Ninja Cats.
Furthermore, toads were very compatible with him.
After all, they were good at laying low.
He considered himself a master of playing it safe, being extremely steady.
He would never face Ōtsutsuki Kaguya or Uchiha Madara head-on until he reached max level.
"Cat Grandma."
Naruto lifted the door curtain and saw an old woman wearing dark gray cat-ear decorations.
Like Hiruzen Sarutobi, she held a tobacco pipe.
And all around were cats of various colors.
It was simply a paradise for cat lovers.
An alternative kind of cat cafe.
Unfortunately, Ninja Cats were too intelligent to let strangers pet them.
Cat Grandma glanced at him; he was a stranger and didn't seem like a Konoha Ninja.
He wasn't wearing a Ninja headband either.
Besides being a ninja tool shop owner, she actually had another identity.
An intelligence broker.
Out of professional instinct, she analyzed Naruto.
"Customer, what would you like to buy?"
Naruto, who really wanted to pet a cat, held back his restless hands.
Don't reach out; if you reach out, you'll get caught.
He understood the personality of cats well enough.
"shuriken, Kunai, caltrops, exploding tags, senbon, and a longsword."
Naruto listed the commonly used ninja tools.
Cat Grandma took a puff of smoke and revealed a smile.
It looked like a big order.
As for Naruto's identity, she didn't care.
Unless someone wanted to buy information about him.
"Hina."
From behind her, a white Ninja Cat jumped out.
On its forehead was a mark resembling the character for 'King', making it look somewhat like a little tiger.
"Customer, please follow me, meow."
Naruto raised an eyebrow.
This verbal tic was quite cute.
No matter what Hina said, she added 'meow' at the end.
By the time Naruto finished his purchase, only the sound of 'meow meow meow' remained in his mind.
It repeated constantly.
He tapped his head and released his Transformation Jutsu.
To prevent his identity from leaking, he hadn't used his original face.
After all, these were bought for the Shadow Clonethat was about to head out.
In case it caused trouble one day, he didn't want it traced back to his original body.
"Sigh, out of money again."
Naruto sighed.
Money is like time; you just can't keep it.
The money he got from the Inuzuka Clan was spent entirely.
Speaking of which, Naruto vaguely remembered that Cat Grandma's granddaughter would be Inuzuka Kiba's girlfriend in the future.
Good grief.
It turns out his money went in a circle and ended up back where it started.
Naruto recalled some FGO voice actors in his previous life whose spending on gacha was higher than their salaries.
Kanou Yoshiki's plan was successful.
A salary recycling program.
You might as well just pay out in Saint Quartz.
Naruto returned to the Treehouse and officially began his Wind Release Ninjutsu cultivation journey.
On the other side.
Neji opened his eyes.
Feeling the emptiness within his body, he couldn't help but feel a bit discouraged.
Although he could clearly sense the existence of Natural Energy, no matter how he tried to entice it,
That energy always lingered outside the door and wouldn't enter.
It was acting very much like a perfect gentleman.
"I'm out of Chakra."
Neji calculated the time; it had probably only been an hour.
His Chakra was still too little.
Suddenly, he looked up.
The continuous thumping sounds coming from nearby made him curious.
Hinata was on his left.
It could only be Naruto.
What was that guy doing?
Neji stood up, walked a few steps, and soon Naruto's figure came into view.
"This is...?"
He couldn't help but widen his eyes.
The Naruto before him had fists like thunder, every move and stance exuding power.
What kind of fist technique was this?
He had actually never seen it before.
Amidst his surprise, he began to observe carefully.
He felt more and more shocked.
Neji was definitely a genius when it came to fist techniques.
After all, he could secretly learn the Main House's secret technique, Rotation.
So his discernment wasn't poor either.
Setting aside Chakra, this fist technique didn't seem inferior to their Hyuga Clan's Gentle Fist.
How could that be?!
The Gentle Fist was called the number one Taijutsu in the Ninja World!
Neji turned around and woke Hinata.
"Follow me."
It was the first time Hinata had been called over by Neji like this.
She hurriedly followed him and saw Naruto, who was practicing his punches.
"Hinata, have you ever heard of such a fierce fist technique?"
Neji analyzed the Eight Extremes Fist without blinking.
The reason he called Hinata was because she was from the Main House; she must have heard of or seen more information than he had.
"No."
Hinata stared blankly at Naruto.
As a Taijutsu powerhouse clan, they naturally collected intelligence on all sorts of Taijutsu in the Ninja World.
But she was certain that this fist technique was not among them.
"I really don't know where Naruto learned it from."
Envy flickered in Neji's eyes.
He wanted to learn it too.
As a member of the Branch House, his learning of the Gentle Fist was incomplete.
Now seeing the Eight Extremes Fist, which was not inferior to the Gentle Fist, he was naturally envious.
Naruto stopped his movements.
He had long noticed the two of them pointing and whispering behind his back.
It was within his expectations.
Naruto turned around and smiled, "If you two want to learn, I can teach you."
Thanks to the big boss `Jiusi` for the tip.
