Chapter 26 Departure from the Grass Country
Naruto didn't go through too much trouble with the training plan for Fuuka Koyuki.
The entire Naruto storyline's portrayal of battles boils down to two points: more is better! Bigger is better!
Who the hell uses ninjutsu as a respectable person? Aren't they all piloting Gundams?
Of course, this is a joke, but it's not hard to see from the battles in Naruto that raw strength is the most important foundation for a ninja.
The two strongest characters in the original story were both genin, but that didn't prevent them from sealing Kaguya.
It's not that ninja skills aren't important, but they seem too pale and powerless in the face of absolute power.
What is most important for the current weather conditions of light snow and gentle breezes?
It's definitely not shurikenjutsu.
So Naruto's plan for Koyuki was: climb trees and wade in water.
It's a cliché, but it works!
It doesn't matter if you have little chakra. As long as your chakra control is high enough, one mini Rasengan shuriken is enough to send the wind and waves on their way.
This can be considered a miracle in another sense.
That's exactly what Naruto did. No matter what methods you use, I'll just unleash a Rasengan!
One shot isn't enough, then two will do!
So, during the few days of waiting for the film crew to depart, Fuuka Koyuki's only goal was to climb the big tree in the yard that Naruto had encouraged to grow.
Naruto, on the other hand, would lie on the side of the wall and sunbathe every day without fail.
Of course, he wasn't doing nothing either.
Every morning, he would create a wood clone containing 90% of his chakra, and then create dozens or even hundreds of shadow clones outside the city that consumed less chakra.
Half of these shadow clones were responsible for training, and the other half for practicing guitar. Their fatigue levels were completely within Naruto's tolerance range.
After a week, Naruto was able to play more than a dozen beginner-level guitar pieces fluently.
Most importantly, they have already developed a basic feel for the instrument.
As for the wind, flowers, and snow, they barely met the standard for stepping on trees.
This speed was slower than Naruto had imagined, but considering that the opponent had only recently come into contact with chakra, it was still acceptable. Unfortunately, he had not yet fully mastered climbing trees.
After all, he had only just begun refining chakra, so his proficiency was still lacking.
However, the progress is encouraging. Perhaps this cramming-style education has worked. After Naruto casually taught her a transformation technique, Kazahana Koyuki was able to use it successfully after only watching it once.
Finally, with the actors and props in place, the crew set off for the Land of Grass.
A dozen or so horse-drawn carriages made a grand procession. The actors looked both excited and nervous, after all, they were going to film in another country.
Aside from the five great nations, most of the smaller ninja countries in the ninja world are not entirely peaceful, and battles and wars are almost commonplace.
Therefore, some members of the crew were somewhat worried about this overseas filming trip, but this feeling did not affect their professionalism.
"Go! Shishimaru! Our people need us!"
"Damn it! Don't underestimate the bond between us..."
During a rest stop on the road, Feng Hua Xiaoxue and the other actors were rehearsing their lines. Naruto only sat next to them and listened for a couple of lines before he got goosebumps all over.
Goodness, this is truly a movie made from the world of shonen manga; the dialogue is incredibly authentic.
As for Kazeka Koyuki, her pretty face quickly flushed red, seemingly because Naruto was watching from the side.
Finally, amidst everyone's astonished gazes, she stomped her foot in embarrassment and anger, then turned and crawled into the carriage.
"Hehe... It seems like Yukie isn't feeling well. Let's talk about rehearsing later."
Director Okamura Tensai chuckled and waved to Naruto: "Naruto-kun, would you like to come and sit down?"
Naruto nodded, walked over, and sat down next to the director.
Okamura Tensai put his arm around Naruto's shoulder, looking smug: "Let me introduce you, this is Uzumaki Naruto. Don't let his young age fool you, he's our company's rising star! He can already compose songs independently at such a young age!"
"Really? That's amazing!"
"I've been wanting to ask before, where did you find this cute little brother? Turns out he's a new employee at the company..."
The actors quickly surrounded him, their faces full of enthusiasm.
"But why would a singer be with the film crew?" someone asked curiously.
"It was Yukie-san's request," Santao explained.
He didn't say much about Naruto's ninjutsu skills, although Naruto hadn't intended to hide them either.
However, as a former minister of the state, San Taifu knew what he could and could not say.
"Is that what Yuki-e requested..."
After San Taifu finished speaking, the people around him immediately showed a subtle expression that could only be understood but not explained.
"Hehe, speaking of which, Yukie has had a tough time too..."
"Yeah, after all, she's the youngest in the crew. She'll probably be happy to have someone her age to talk to, right?"
"It could also be shyness."
"Ha ha ha ha…"
Everyone burst into laughter, and in the carriage next to them, Feng Hua Xiaoxue's pretty face was flushed.
"How's it going, Naruto-kun?"
Okamura Tensai put his arm around Naruto's shoulder and looked at him meaningfully: "Any thoughts on the filming?"
"What are your thoughts?"
Naruto pretended to be stupid.
"My thoughts on making a film..."
Perhaps because Naruto was young, Okamura Tensai's fox tail wasn't hidden too well. With that half-hidden look, Naruto could tell what he was up to at a glance.
"I don't have any particular thoughts."
Naruto shook his head; he had no interest in acting.
Moreover, those few lines from "Wind, Flower, and Snow" made him cringe so badly he almost had cancer.
"But I really think Naruto, you're perfect for the role."
Okamura Tensai clicked his tongue and shook his head: "Regardless of age, height, or appearance, and the fact that you know ninjutsu, it greatly reduces the difficulty of filming..."
"No, that's too embarrassing."
Naruto shook his head repeatedly. "Are you kidding me? You really think I'm a child?"
"I'm also thinking of adding a new character to the story, whose identity is a childhood friend ninja who hides in the shadows and silently protects the princess."
Okamura Tensai sighed, "What a pity. This role was tailor-made for you, Naruto. If it had been well-received, you could have easily become the main character in the next installment..."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Feng Hua Xiaoxue suddenly popped out of the carriage.
Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, she strode up to Naruto and stared intently at him.
"Give it a try!"
"..."
With a bang, Naruto exploded into a piece of substitute wood in front of her. Feeling betrayed, the girl went berserk on the spot, searching for him all over the set, seemingly intending to tear him apart.
"Women are terrifying when they're angry..."
From the treetop, Naruto leisurely glanced at the commotion below, chuckled softly, and then turned to look at the end of the road.
A ninja squad appeared in his senses ahead. Judging from the amount of chakra, there should be four Chunin, one of whom was slightly stronger.
The ninjas of Kusagakure...
Those despicable scumbags.
Oh no! I was sleepy and wanted to take a nap, but I overslept! I woke up at 11:30! Oh no! My consistent updates over the past few days!!!
