Naruto: I, Naruto, don't want to try anymore.

Chapter 73 Alternative Elixirs

Chapter 73 Alternative Elixirs

Two days later, the group finally arrived in the City of Fire and joined the film crew.

While Inari's power is indeed formidable, it's still too much of a torment for Naruto at this point.

Realizing the burning passion hidden beneath Samui's cold exterior, Naruto wanted to change his target, but every time, Mabui would "just happen" to wake up at the crucial moment.

This is simply unbearable!

So Naruto decided to get rid of the perk of sleeping in each other's arms and sleep in a room by himself.

As the film crew headed towards the Snow Country, he resumed his previous relaxed, lying-down posture.

Occasionally, when he encountered robbers on the road, he would drain their chakra, refine it into pills, and feed them to Kazeka Koyuki.

Thanks to the power of the pill, Feng Hua Xiaoxue broke through her chakra limit in just one week, and her physical fitness also improved a lot.

The original Kazahana Koyuki was at most Elite 4, which is about the same level as some genjutsu-type ninjas.

After taking the drug, according to Naruto's assessment, he barely reached the Elite 6 level, evolving from Kurenai Yuhi to Kakashi in one fell swoop.

During this period, more than a dozen robbers were drained of their chakra. They were all ordinary people who had not refined their chakra. It was not bad that this effect was achieved.

Along the way, the crew was busy, and Naruto also helped with some special effects using ninjutsu, and signed a lot of autographs for some of his older female fans.

Although he has only released two albums in the past two years, the popularity of his songs has earned him considerable fame, and he is recognized wherever he goes.

Naruto wasn't acting like a celebrity at all; he signed autographs and took photos with people who wanted to.

And having enjoyed the respect and admiration of people, he felt that he could probably understand the feelings of the people of his motherland.

As the film crew got closer to the Snow Country, the weather gradually became colder.

Finally, as a heavy snow fell, the crew arrived in the land of snow.

"Naruto, aren't you cold?"

Kazeka Koyuki, wearing a thick cloak, couldn't help but ask when she saw Naruto still wearing that white divine robe.

"It's not cold."

Naruto shook his head. With the complete fusion of the Tailed Beast's body with his own, he was now an unconventional Ten-Tails.

Even if it were snowing, or even if it were raining knives, it wouldn't affect him.

If his chakra accumulation hadn't yet reached a qualitative change, he could have directly drawn upon external natural energy, causing a cataclysmic change and altering the climate of the Land of Snow.

Feng Hua Xiao Xue sighed softly: "The Snow Country is covered in snow all year round, and you will never see spring. There is only ice and snow and bitter cold. You will definitely not like it here."

"I think it's pretty good."

Naruto didn't mind. Although it was a bit absurd that it snowed all year round, he didn't actually hate winter.

"I've heard that many countries don't have winter, and many people have never seen snow in their lives. After you reclaim the throne, why don't you try building a snow park?"

Although the ninja world is not as convenient as modern society, in any world, wealth is actually controlled by a small group of people.

It's unlikely that Harbin's "Little Potatoes" (a nickname for a small, wealthy businessman) could replicate its northward expansion, but if it's just about getting money from the pockets of rich merchants and nobles, that shouldn't be a problem.

"A snow and ice park? That's quite romantic..."

Feng Hua Xiao Xue chuckled, "Then why don't you stay and help me?"

Don't even think about it.

Samui flicked her forehead: "Naruto-sama is the successor to the Raikage, how could he possibly stay in such a small place?"

Feng Hua Xiaoxue cried out in pain, clutching her forehead and glancing sideways at Samyi.

As the teacher who was truly responsible for guiding her spiritual practice, Samui still held considerable authority over her.

"That's hard to say..."

A sly glint flashed in Fuuka Koyuki's eyes: "Shouldn't Naruto make the decision himself?"

"I'm not really interested, but it would be nice to come here for a vacation once in a while."

Naruto raised his hand and briefly sensed his surroundings.

"Although the wind and snow are heavy, the natural energy is abundant..."

As he spoke, he paused slightly, as if realizing something, and raised his hand to absorb a wave of natural energy from his body, using Awashima Myōjin to refine it into a pill.

Looking at the jet-black pill in his hand, Naruto appeared in the Sound Village in a flash and found Orochimaru conducting an experiment.

"Give me two test subjects!"

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Orochimaru was very compliant to Naruto's sudden arrival, acting like a dutiful waiter and bringing him two test subjects.

When Naruto fed the pill to one of the test subjects, he sensed that the subject's chakra increased dramatically.

Moreover, unlike the direct absorption of natural energy, no abnormalities occurred in the experimental subject's body!

"This kind of pill has a different effect than the previous red pill."

Orochimaru licked his lips, intrigued. "So, is this some kind of special chakra-based pill?"

"It's natural energy."

As Naruto spoke, he extracted another portion of Sage Chakra and refined it.

Unlike black pills made from natural energy and red pills made from chakra, pills refined from Sage Chakra are white.

When the pill was fed to another test subject, his chakra level also increased significantly.

"Let's see you unleash a ninjutsu."

He gestured for Orochimaru to release the test subject, who then nervously unleashed an enormous fireball.

"..."

This ninjutsu is so common...

Using the Preta Path to absorb the Great Fireball, it was indeed Sage Chakra.

Naruto looked at the test subject who had taken the natural energy pill: "You should try it too."

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

"..."

He absorbed the chakra again, and the chakra contained a hint of tailed beast chakra.

Orochimaru's eyes were full of curiosity: "Have you made any new discoveries, Naruto-kun...?"

"Um…"

Naruto nodded: "The test subjects who absorbed the natural energy pills possessed the characteristics of tailed beast chakra, and the test subjects who absorbed the sage chakra pills also released sage techniques."

"Lord Orochimaru!"

The Sage Mode test subject looked at Orochimaru with a face full of surprise: "I seem to be able to sense some kind of special energy floating in the air, resonating with the chakra within my body!"

"Oh? Interesting..."

Orochimaru tilted his head: "Then try absorbing it. It's a very strong power, and I have high expectations for you."

"yes!"

The test subject closed their eyes and attempted to draw natural energy into their body.

Perhaps because of the Sage Chakra, he completed this step very easily.

Then, under the watchful eyes of Naruto and Orochimaru, its body gradually turned into a withered brown, and finally transformed into a large tree in silence.

"It was all for nothing."

"Um."

The test subject who had taken the natural energy pill looked at the two people with a face full of terror, as if he were looking at two devils.

Seeing that the two were looking at him, he knelt down with a thud.

"Lord Orochimaru! I...I can't sense anything!"

"It's okay."

Orochimaru chuckled and took the Sage Mode pill from Naruto, handing it to him.

"You can feel it once you eat it."

"..."
