NOVEL WEB Chapter 4: 4
Start with the little things around you.
Villagers, bosses, friends, rivals...
Not only should you push yourself, but you should also push others!
I'd rather exhaust myself than exhaust others!
I, Naruto, want to outdo everyone here!
...
"System, start the lottery draw!" Naruto rubbed his hands together and commanded in his mind.
The system's roulette wheels immediately began to spin.
Three seconds later, the pointer stopped.
[1. Multiple Shadow Clone Technique: Note: This Shadow Clone can create an independent character, or a tool character, and the Host can obtain it on demand.]
[2. Elementary Wood Style Physique: Note: Elementary Wood Style physique contains amazing resilience and vitality, but cannot display Wood Style.]
Seeing these two rewards, Naruto was taken aback for a moment, feeling that this system... seems a bit crafty!
Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, Elementary Wood Style…
Aren't these two skills just perfect to help me push myself even further?
First, the Multiple Shadow Clone.
The first large-scale ninjutsu learned by Naruto in the original series, it's essentially a talent multiplier.
Having several Shadow Clones is like having several multiples. At most, thousands of clones can be created at one time, enhancing cultivation talent by thousands of times!
But.
Because Naruto in the original series was too reckless to make good use of this technique.
Otherwise, with Jinchūriki's recovery ability + Multiple Shadow Clone, how could there be any ninjutsu he couldn't learn?
Forget about Sasuke, with a multiplier of tens of thousands, even Uchiha's physique wouldn't match!
Then there's the second one, Elementary Wood Style.
The original Naruto had fast recovery, almost unlimited physical and mental strength due to the Nine Tails Jinchūriki physique, and now with the Elementary Wood Style...
Goodness...
Naruto doesn't even know what exhaustion feels like anymore!
He had a hunch that even if he stayed up all night for twenty or thirty days, he wouldn't have any mental or physical problems!
No need for any breaks, just pure productivity!
Silently accepting the two abilities, Naruto felt his mind clear for a while.
There was a refreshing feeling all over his body.
Hands together.
**Puff puff puff——**
A fine sound exploded.
In the room, there were suddenly 4 identical Shadow Clones.
"The current Chakra can only split up to 4 clones..."
Silently stroking his chin, Naruto began to think about how to arrange the lives of the five of them.
After a few seconds, he settled on a plan.
"No. 1 and No. 2, make dumplings at home."
"No. 3, go to the Land of Sound and the Land of Grass to buy supplies."
"No. 4, go outside to exercise and run. Although my physical and mental strength is very high, my physical fitness and responsiveness still need to be trained."
"What about you?" The 4 Shadow Clones stared at Naruto and asked.
"Me? Of course, I'm here to make dango together!"
...
Early morning.
The dark blue heavy sky is gradually withdrawing.
Naruto's home.
After a busy night, Naruto had prepared 800 skewers of dango for the day.
"Phew~~"
"It's really exhausting, but it's finally done."
Naruto No. 1 Shadow Clone stretched his back and let out a long breath.
No. 2 also wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Can we take a rest? I've been making dango all night, and I want to sleep."
Hearing this, Naruto frowned, and his expression suddenly became serious.
"Sleep? Can you sleep at this age?"
The two Shadow Clones looked dumbfounded.
What the heck! Five or six-year-old children, why can't they fall asleep?
With his hands behind his back, Naruto paced in front of the two of them, explaining in an orderly manner: "In business competition, every second counts, and every second should not be wasted, because maybe the enemy has already opened up while we are resting."
"Only by taking the first step and setting up the booth in advance can we lead the opponent and win in the end."
"Do you understand?"
The two Shadow Clones shook their heads.
"Anyway, don't rest. He opens the door at 8 o'clock, and I leave the stall at 5 o'clock. I win at the starting line!"
[Ding! Successful involution! You have obtained 100 involution points!]
...
Early morning.
The breeze is blowing, and the air in Konoha is extraordinarily crisp.
On the street.
There was no sound at all, except for Anbu on duty and the guard, almost no one could be seen.
And at this time.
At the village's edge.
With a ray of red and white light lit up, the Tanaka Maruko Shop opened quietly.
"I can't believe this nonsense!"
"He said he'd open the stall at 7 o'clock, so I'll open at 6 o'clock today!"
"I refuse to believe he can be earlier than me!"
Tanaka Ichiro stood at the door of the store, staring with bloodshot eyes, and roared angrily.
But the next second.
"Huh? Boss, you opened the door so early?"
Hearing this harmless voice, Tanaka Ichiro's body trembled all over, and goosebumps crawled all over his back in an instant!
Turning around, he was dumbfounded on the spot.
Because it was Naruto who spoke!
This guy is out!
Squatting down on the side of the road selling dango with a leisurely look!
"You, didn't you say the stall would open at 7 o'clock?"
"Why are you here at 6 o'clock?"
Tanaka Ichiro roared wildly.
Naruto frowned slightly: "What 6 o'clock? Uncle, I've been here since 5 o'clock."
"I'm so... poof!"
