Chapter 47: Plan Ahead, Naruto's Double Insurance!
With the passage of time, under the perseverance of high-intensity training, not only has Naruto and Sasuke's physical tenacity and strength been greatly improved, but the increasing physical exertion due to age and increasing training volume has also made Naruto and Sasuke's main means of replenishing physical energy-appetite steadily improving at an alarming rate. The most obvious evidence of this is the delicious lunch that was wiped out in a short period of time.
If it had been placed more than a month ago, this huge pile of food stacked like a hill would not only be enough for Naruto and the others to eat while still having most of the leftovers, but it would also be enough for dinner for the two of them or even breakfast the next day for a day or two! And now, the same amount of food was eaten by the two of them with their open bellies, but it was only barely enough for Naruto and Sasuke to eat just enough to eat.
Because of this increasingly conspicuous change in nutritional needs, Naruto, who could only eat the cheapest herbs used to make Soldier Food Pills to slightly speed up Chakra's recovery, and occasionally grabbed some game from this No. 3 training ground to supplement nutrition and beat his teeth, from time to time sighed how naΓ―ve and ridiculous he thought that when he first came to this world, he thought that he could continue to grow his strength rapidly by just practicing diligently.
Ever since he met Uchiha Fugaku and had a secret conversation, Naruto now not only has someone tailor-made nutritious and delicious meals for him and Sasuke every day, which is used to assist in the number of high-quality military food pills provided by the cultivation, but also enough for Naruto and Sasuke to nibble on as a snack jelly bean!
Even though Naruto already possessed the technique of multiple shadow clones, a powerful ninjutsu auxiliary cultivation that can be called a cheat for experience...... But if Naruto had not been orphaned by his best friend inherited from his father's bond, he would not have been able to have the solid and powerful backing of Uchiha Fugaku, and he would not have been cared for and pampered by the head of the Uchiha Fugaku clan as his own, and he would not have generously helped Naruto for his cultivation needs...... Without the support of such convenient and superior resources, Naruto's current cultivation speed would have to be drastically reduced by several times, to say the least!
"Ah, now it seems that no matter what world you are in, you can really do whatever you want with money...... Tsk, it's clear that Sasuke and I are both second-generation officials, or that my Hokage Daddy is bigger than Sasuke's Daddy's official position, but this can be called a difference in treatment between heaven and earth, isn't it...... Alas, people have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away, the ancients don't deceive me......" Thinking of this, Naruto patted his round little belly and lay down by the campfire to keep warm, while secretly crying and sighing silently in his heart, after a pause, he turned his head and looked at the small fan lying on his back with his belly open and no image, "By the way, Sasuke, you seem to have said it before...... Except for the last shuriken that you threw after you landed, the other five were thrown in the air after jumping up? How did you come up with the idea of doing this? β
"Whew, whew...... Well? Oh, you said that...... "After a short rest, Sasuke not only had already replenished all the lost body temperature, but the warm campfire baking and the satiety satisfaction of tasting delicious meals made Sasuke comfortable to the point of drowsy, after hearing Naruto's inquiry, he rubbed his sleepy eyes to cheer up, while trying to support his body to sit upright, after pausing for a while, he raised his little face with his hands on his hips, and responded quite proudly, "Hehe, that's of course, as a genius of the Uchiha clan, Of course, it is possible to find that an air attack from above can hit the target more effectively and directly! β
"No, that's what I want to complain about...... Your surprise to me is a little too big, Sasuke........." Looking at the triumphant little fan in front of him, Naruto's face was even more indulgent, but the corners of his mouth twitched slightly involuntarily. "No matter how talented you are, your Uchiha clan's talent is too bewitching, isn't it...... Or is Uncle Fuyue's genetics too good? β
Originally, although Naruto was amazed by Sasuke's rapid progress in shuriken cultivation under his independent exploration, Sasuke was not too surprised by this result because Sasuke had the excellent bloodline of the Uchiha clan, and secondly, he had been influenced by the proud talent shown by his brother Uchiha Itachi since he was a child......
But this is all based on the premise that Naruto thinks that Sasuke is standing still and shooting at the target!
At Sasuke's age, Naruto thought that being able to shoot on the spot and achieve four out of five targets with shuriken and hitting the heart unbiasedly was already the current limit of the small fan...... Throwing five shuriken in a row in the time when the body is stuck in the air and falling, not to mention how short and difficult to control this time is, hitting targets in motion and being targets in five different directions, during this period, you need to think about the amount of data calculated compared to when you are still in place, it can be said that the amount of data is several times more, which way is more difficult and natural is obvious at a glance.
It is said that the tiger father has no dog son, even if the talent has been covered and buried by the genius aura of his brother since he was a child and becomes more and more mediocre and ordinary, and there is no amazing achievement of Itachi God who entered the shadows at a young age, but he can calculate and correct the trajectory of the shuriken shot in just a few breaths and put it into action, which proves that the potential of the small group fan is not too inferior to that of the brother, and it is still amazing and glamorous enough to bear the burden of being called a genius!
"My good boy, is Sasuke's talent going to take off...... Continue to practice at this rate, and when it comes to the twelve-year-old middle ninja exam, don't say anything to find a way to protect Sasuke and not give Orochimaru a chance to plant the Heavenly Curse Mark on Sasuke...... I'm afraid that when I met Orochimaru for the first time in the Forest of Death, Sasuke alone could directly clean up Orochimaru, right? Could it be that Sasuke is the protagonist?! That's a ......."
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and between broken thoughts, Naruto subconsciously raised his hand and rubbed the soft bun face of the little fan full of question marks in the unknown place, and after pausing for a moment to calm down, the smile in his eyes gradually deepened and spread.
"Great...... That way, I can save a lot of work. β
Knowing that Sasuke's potential far exceeded his own expectations, in addition to making Naruto feel frustrated that he was more popular than a human being, he was more sincerely happy for Sasuke...... with satisfaction.
Originally, Naruto just wanted to know how much Sasuke's strength could surpass the original book after training since childhood...... But now that Sasuke is showing more and more surprises, Naruto has to face up to the terrifying potential of this young fan who relies on worshipping him.
No one is perfect, even if he knows the direction of most of the events in the future and the reasons for the birth of the mutation, but under the butterfly effect brought about by the change of history, Naruto does not dare and cannot guarantee that he can rewrite the fate of all his partners 100% perfectly with his own strength! This is also the reason why Naruto always honestly followed the original line and kept a low profile before he met Sasuke.
Once Naruto makes the wrong choice at a turning point that may be quite different from the original book, it will definitely take someone strong enough to pull him back from the wrong path in time! And Sasuke, who has now proven his amazing potential, clearly has what it takes to stop Naruto at some point in the future! As long as Naruto can continue the deep bond of mutual trust that has arisen between Naruto and Sasuke...... Sasuke Uchiha, one of the strongest men in the world who will stand at the pinnacle of ninja combat power in the future, will definitely become Naruto's second insurance and help when he turns the tide and changes the fate of this world!
As for the first level of insurance......
"Huh? It's really said that Cao Cao Cao is here......"
The shadow clone memory that suddenly came to his mind made Naruto aware of the rapid approach of an acquaintance, and while his thoughts were interrupted, he patted Sasuke's head to signal for him to stand up, patted away the dust from his body, turned around, and smiled at the slender and gentle figure that was gradually approaching through the light revealed through the hole.
"Good afternoon, Itachi-san."
Itachi Uchiha, the great hero who has always loved the village and is willing to die for his brother, is the most suitable first insurance candidate chosen by Naruto after arriving in the Hokage world!
Sasuke Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha......
This pair of Uchiha brothers, who obviously love each other deeply in the original book, but end up facing each other due to many intrigues and tribulations......
The tragic fate of killing each other in this life will not only be broken and shattered by Naruto, but it will also become a double insurance used by Naruto to restrain and prevent himself from making big mistakes at critical moments!
