Konoha: Starting with a sign-in for Hashirama cells

“The money, it was supposed to be three million, but it suddenly jumped to fifty million, you…” Naruto.

"It's alright," Hinata whispered.

"It's complicated to explain in detail, but to put it simply, I will become the master of this house in the future. Fifty million is a lot, but it's nothing to me."

Who owns this house?

Naruto raised an eyebrow, glanced at the Hyuga clan's gate, then at Hinata, and vaguely understood something.

It seems that his encouragement had an overly positive effect on Hinata.

"Is this a good idea?" Naruto asked, his expression complicated.

His original intention was simply to encourage Hinata, to help her cheer up and be more confident.

Perhaps in the near future, she will become the first woman in the ninja world, besides Kaguya Otsutsuki, to possess Six Paths-level strength.

did not expect…

"Is it good?" Hinata asked curiously.

He stole a glance at Naruto's handsome and cute face, then quickly lowered his head, saying guiltily, "I, I, I'm fine. Don't worry, if you need money, you can come to me anytime."

Naruto rubbed his temples, thought for a moment, and said, "If I want to play with you, can I do it anytime?"

The die is cast, and it's not the right time to let Hinata change things.

All he could do for Hinata was to invite her out, give her more encouragement, cheer her on, and encourage her.

At the same time, he himself must work harder to become stronger, become the strongest in the ninja world as soon as possible, and then propose marriage to Hinata and give her the life she wants.

"Play? Ask me? Uh, of course! I'm free anytime!" Does this count as a date? Hinata thought absentmindedly.

"There's one more thing," Naruto said with a smile. "You left in such a hurry before that I didn't have a chance to say it. It's like this, I'd like to shake hands with your clansmen."

"Shake hands?" Hinata asked, puzzled.

"I can't say the reason right now. I have no other request, just a handshake," Naruto said.

Twenty minutes later, after saying goodbye to Hinata, Naruto went home, took off his women's clothing, hid the outfit, changed into his usual clothes, and went out again.

Accustomed to walking through deserted alleys, Naruto walked upside down, pondering the reason for his failed sign-in.

Yes, it failed.

With Hinata's help, he shook hands with four members of the branch family, and the result was consistent: there was no option to sign in.

"Hamura's chakra encompasses all the abilities of the Hyuga clan, so it is impossible to obtain it from other Hyuga clan members."

"Checking in Hamura's chakra consumed a lot of the system's energy. It will be impossible to check in again until it is restored."

After thinking it over, there are only two possibilities.

To find out which one it is, just ask someone who has no connection to the Hyuga family.

Chapter 41 Not in the Mood

The training ground.

With a deafening roar, a tree that required two people to encircle fell to the ground.

Rolling around, Sasuke narrowly escaped the attack, panting heavily as he stared intently at Naruto, who was slowly lowering his foot beside the tree.

"What is that? Lightning?" Sasuke couldn't help but ask.

"This? It's just a chakra manipulation technique." Naruto extended his right hand, a clearly visible arc of electricity flashing and disappearing in an instant.

"By stimulating cells and activating them, the speed can be greatly increased."

This technique is not easy to learn.

If Naruto hadn't signed for the Lightning Blade from Kakashi and maxed out his proficiency, he doesn't know how long it would have taken him to master it.

After all, shadow clones don't have cells; they're just a bunch of chakra condensed into one entity, so they can't learn techniques related to cells.

Naruto himself had to try things out little by little, constantly making mistakes, until he finally found the correct range of cells to stimulate.

Incidentally, the cell stimulation technique is merely a byproduct of the resection.

A large amount of lightning chakra was gathered in his hands, with only a small portion of it spilling out and distributing to other parts of his body, bringing terrifying acceleration.

Upon personally wielding the Lightning Blade, Naruto immediately realized that it was remarkably similar to the Raikage's Lightning Release Armor Technique.

The only difference is that the Raikage has a strong physique, which allows him to ignore the paralyzing side effects of Lightning Release chakra to a certain extent.

If it were someone else, they certainly wouldn't dare to stimulate all the cells in their body, let alone maintain it for too long.

Putting aside whether there's enough chakra, the body definitely can't hold on. That numb feeling, like being under anesthesia, unable to obey commands or move, is truly painful.

Naruto's situation is better, not because his physique is strong enough, but because his self-healing ability is terrifying.

The front foot was paralyzed by lightning chakra, but the back foot mobilized ordinary chakra and was able to quickly remove the paralysis.

It is infused with the perfect Hashirama cells, and the chakra that Naruto extracted from his own cells carries a rich life force and has excellent regenerative ability.

"Want to learn? I can teach you, but you'll need to pay a price. In exchange, you know what I mean," Naruto said, winking.

"..." Sasuke.

"Another date with Sakura?" Sasuke said with a headache, "Why are you so fixated on this? I really don't want to waste time on anything other than getting stronger."

"Hey, I'm not messing with you. There's nothing wrong with our philosophy," Naruto laughed.

"Go on a date with Sakura, make her happy and joyful, and then I'll teach you techniques to make you stronger. This is equivalent to you working hard to become stronger."

This tactic was used on him by the Third Hokage in the past, and now it's his turn to use it on Sasuke.

They use benefits you can't refuse to motivate you to do things.

Tried and tried.

Upon hearing this, Sasuke frowned.

"Is that too difficult? Fine, then forget it. You can keep working on it behind closed doors. I'm leaving." Naruto made a move to leave.

Sasuke looked conflicted.

Seeing Naruto dawdling along and getting further and further away, he sighed and said dejectedly, "I understand, I'll do as you say."

Naruto clenched his fist and silently exclaimed, "Yeah!"

With Sasuke keeping Sakura in check, and if he behaves more obediently and doesn't contradict her, he can try to separate from Sakura as soon as possible.

Then, let's see if we can get Hinata to move in.

The gentle and kind Hinata is very obedient to him, unlike Sakura who will resort to words and actions if things don't go her way.

Thinking of Sakura's violence, Naruto couldn't help but subconsciously rub his side.

Fortunately, this body had a good foundation, otherwise he was really afraid that he would be beaten to death by Sakura.

She was born a beautiful girl, so why is she so temperamental?

When asked who to test the system's sign-in rules, Naruto's first thought was Sakura.

But after using his chakra sensing technique to pinpoint Sakura's location, he hesitated.

Ino and Sakura are together.

He couldn't reciprocate Ino's feelings, yet he feared she wouldn't give up.

If they just go straight there, with Sakura, their best friend, helping them, things could easily get complicated.

Sensing that Sasuke was nearby, and realizing that it had been a while since he had helped Sakura arrange a meeting with Sasuke, Naruto went to find him.

While checking the system's sign-in rules, they also set a trap for Sasuke, making him jump into it himself.

Let's just get straight to the result.

Unable to sign in Sasuke.

What does this mean? It means that checking in with the system consumes energy.

Based on past experience with signing in, low-level ninjutsu has low energy consumption and short cooldown time.

Advanced or top-tier ninjutsu requires greater energy consumption, and the cooldown time will be correspondingly longer.

It has been a month since the sign-in event with the Lightning Blade, and it is unclear how long the sign-in cooldown period with the Lightning Blade is.

Furthermore, Hamura's chakra level is definitely much higher than that of Lightning Blade, and its cooldown time will only be longer.

Naruto originally planned to go to the Land of Waves in the next two or three days to take on the mission, find Zabuza and Haku, and complete the daily check-in.

Zabuza is dispensable; the main thing is Haku's Ice Release Kekkei Genkai.

Seeing that there was still a cooldown period for the sign-in event, and that the time was not short, he lost interest in going to the Land of Waves.

Good steel should be used on the blade. Naruto wanted to wait for the cooldown to subside before prioritizing signing in with the Hyuga clan's Byakugan, hoping to get the Tenseigan out.

Compared to the Tenseigan, all other ninjutsu and abilities pale in comparison.

"When?" Sasuke asked.

He wanted to finish his date with Sakura as soon as possible so he could obtain this technique that could rapidly enhance his strength.

"Whatever. If you're free now, then go now," Naruto said.

No need to ask about Sakura, she's on a date with Sasuke, so it's definitely possible anytime.

Without saying a word, Sasuke turned around and left to find Sakura.

“Sakura isn’t home. She and Ino are at the teahouse in the south of the village, not far from her family’s flower shop,” Naruto said.

Sasuke turned around: "The south side of the village is so big, where am I supposed to find it? Besides, where's the flower shop?"

Naruto slapped his forehead. Oh no, he also had to lead the way.

He led Sasuke through a deserted alley, bringing them close to their destination, and gestured for him to go in by himself.

With nothing to do and annoyed by the cooldown period for signing in, Naruto stretched his body briefly before preparing to continue his training.

But Sasuke, who had just gone in, returned shortly after.

“Sakura said she’s not in the mood,” Sasuke said as he approached Naruto.

"??" Naruto.
