Konoha: Starting with a sign-in for Hashirama cells

In short, you can never have too many Chakra Fruits, which are such wonderful things.

After settling the two devices, Naruto took the unconscious Rei and Iwaki and set off to find Ino.

Ino suffered greatly from the curse of Li Shi's pupil technique, not only in terms of physical damage, but most seriously in terms of her soul.

Judging from the situation, he almost died at the hands of the Li family and did not return.

Using his Rinnegan with nine tomoe, Naruto carefully examined Ino's condition and then rubbed his temples.

Ino's current predicament is closely related to him.

Initially, it was because of his request that Ino went to other dimensions to search for the Otsutsuki.

Is Ino's luck good or bad?

Naruto also asked Sasuke for help, and he himself dispatched a large number of Wood Release clones to search for the Otsutsuki clan.

As a result, he and Sasuke found nothing. After searching for so long, they didn't even see a single hair of the Otsutsuki. On the other hand, Ino directly encountered a group of Otsutsuki.

He almost died at their hands.

"Sigh." Naruto sighed. He had to admit he owed a huge favor, and he was worried about how to repay it.

Thinking about these things, Naruto raised his hand and placed it lightly on Ino's head, extracting and channeling his own God Tree chakra into Ino.

Help her repair her damaged body and soul.

Soul and spirit are linked; the soul is a superior attribute of the spirit, so there's no need to consider spiritual issues.

Once the soul is repaired and restored, the mental state will naturally improve as well.

In less than five minutes, Naruto had used up a large amount of chakra.

As a beneficiary, Ino received extraordinary benefits.

The Divine Tree Chakra is the highest level of energy, encompassing everything, including good and bad, and concepts such as mutual generation and restraint.

There's nothing the Divine Tree Chakra can't do, only things you can't imagine.

If life can be created out of nothing, then Ino's little injury is nothing to worry about.

Suddenly, Ino opened her eyes and sat up reflexively, her body tense. Chakra spread out of her body, forming a chakra cloak that effectively protected her.

Judging from their posture, they are ready for battle.

These were all instinctive bodily reactions, actions taken before Ino's consciousness could even register them.

This shows what Ino has been through while she was away.

Naruto was silent for a moment before saying, "It's alright now, we're safe."

Chapter 309 Going Further

I saw Naruto.

Behind Naruto, two unconscious people floated in mid-air; they were the two Otsutsuki he had encountered in the other world.

The sensed chakra reactions, soul reactions, and life reactions all proved that it was indeed Naruto's true form.

Ino was relieved and dispersed the chakra she had extracted.

"My body!" Ino exclaimed in surprise. Only she knew the extent of her trauma, a serious injury that almost killed her.

“Before I became the Divine Tree, my chakra was the best healing energy,” Naruto said.

"After I truly became the Divine Tree, my chakra underwent a complete qualitative change."

"The strongest attack, the strongest defense, the strongest healing, and the strongest support—all four of these factors exist simultaneously."

"It's not difficult for you to recover."

Hearing Naruto say this, and seeing Naruto raise his hand and extract some of the Divine Tree Chakra, Ino felt the overwhelming vitality surging from it and suddenly realized what was happening.

“You’ve already captured them, so why bring them here? Is it to make me…” Ino’s gaze shifted to Li Shi and Liu Shi.

"Yes, I'll need your help to refine them into Chakra Fruits," Naruto nodded.

"You're so much stronger than me, yet you still can't refine a Chakra Fruit?" Ino wondered.

"That's a field I've never been exposed to before; it's something I can't master just by studying," Naruto explained.

"That's not right. I ate the Chakra Fruit called Urashiki, so I naturally acquired this ability," Ino said, puzzled.

"You also ate the chakra fruit of Isshiki Otsutsuki, and you ate it twice."

"There's no reason why I have the ability you don't."

Naruto remained silent.

Seeing that Naruto had nothing to say, Ino paused for a moment, then suddenly realized something, her mouth slightly open, but she didn't seem inclined to probe any further.

He got out of bed, placed his hands on Li Shi's body, and activated both the Rinnegan power and the Bloodline Limit simultaneously, turning Li Shi into a Chakra Fruit.

Its size is roughly the size of a child's head.

The crimson color resembles fresh blood.

Using the same method, they also refined the Ryushiki into a Chakra Fruit.

"Thank you," Naruto said.

"You're welcome." Ino gave Naruto a strange look, thought for a moment and said, "I'll rest for a month or two before I set off again to help you find the Otsutsuki."

"No need, I can find it myself," Naruto quickly replied.

This time they almost lost their lives, so how could they dare to let Ino take any more risks?

"Don't misunderstand, it's not just for you. In my own continuous journeys through different worlds, I've witnessed all sorts of different customs and traditions," Ino said.

"That psychological satisfaction is still quite enjoyable."

"My main purpose is tourism; helping you find the Otsutsuki is just a side thing, understand?"

"Customs and traditions in another world, different customs and cultures. Do you think I've never been to another world or another dimension?" Naruto was speechless.

"Most of the alternate dimensions are desolate and lifeless, where even life does not exist."

"Even if there is life, it is still uncertain whether it is human or whether civilization has taken shape."

"Where are you going to enjoy yourself?"

"What else could it be besides being boring and tedious?"

"Just because you haven't encountered it doesn't mean I won't," Ino retorted stubbornly.

“Alright, let me see your memories, do you dare?” Naruto said.

"Memories aren't something you can just casually look at; it's a matter of privacy, you know." Ino stepped back, creating distance between herself and Naruto.

"Anyway, I have a lot of Wood Release clones working outside, so one more or one less won't make a difference," Naruto said.

"Just do what you like, and don't worry about this anymore."

"Who are you to me? Why should I listen to you?" Ino pouted.

"I already told you I'm not doing this for you, I'm doing this for myself. I like traveling, and I like other worlds, so this won't do."

The two stared at each other.

Seeing that Naruto didn't continue, Ino, standing behind him, opened the Yomotsu Hirasaka gate and walked backwards inside.

"That's settled then. I'll go home and check on my parents, and then I'll meet up with Sakura and Hinata."

"By the way, how's 'Kizuna' doing? I haven't logged in for a while, I'll go play it."

Time flies, and it's gone before you know it. If you do this and dawdle a bit, two months will pass by in no time.

Ino doesn't have any plans; she knows what Naruto wants and what he needs.

Having the ability to travel to other dimensions, there is naturally no reason for me to delay.

Sakura and Hinata helped Naruto become Hokage, while she was responsible for finding the Otsutsuki clan to help Naruto's strength reach a higher level.

Just as Ino retreated into the spatial black hole, and the Yomotsu Hirasaka was about to close, Naruto suddenly stepped forward and stretched out his right hand.

He grabbed Ino's arm and pulled her out amidst her astonishment.

"Naruto?" Ino was stunned.

“I said, don’t risk your life for me anymore,” Naruto said.

"How many times do I have to tell you before you understand, you self-deluded fool." Ino slapped Naruto's hand away and rolled her eyes.

"It's not for you, it's for myself, understand?"

After saying that, Ino was about to go back into the Yomotsu Hirasaka, which was still open, when Naruto suddenly grabbed her chin and held her face still.

"I'll say it again, you're not allowed to risk your life for me again. If you don't listen, I'm ignoring you," Naruto said softly.

They were so close, their noses were almost touching. Ino screamed inwardly, instinctively raising her hands to block Naruto's shoulders, preventing them from getting any closer.

"Ignoring you or something, you're not a child anymore, why say things like that?" Ino's eyes darted around, shifting between left and right.

“To me, you’re just a kid. You’re disobedient, and there will be punishment. Do you want to get a beating?” Naruto said.

Taking into account his past life experiences, his statement is correct; the age difference between the two is indeed that significant.

"What do you mean by this?" Ino didn't dare to look Naruto in the eye, so she simply closed her eyes and pretended to be calm.

"You were the one who asked me to help you find the Otsutsuki, and now you don't want it anymore? Are you worried about me? Afraid something will happen to me?"

Naruto did not answer.

"Afraid to admit it?" Ino continued.

"To be honest, I risked my life to bring back two Otsutsuki for you. Aren't you a little touched and want to repay me with your body?"

"Hehe, what does this mean? It means that I still hold a place in your heart, and my efforts have not been in vain."

"You think you can order me around and make me obey you? Given our current friendship, you're not qualified, unless you take it a step further."

"You know what I mean, right? Hmm?"
