This Naruto is too easily persuaded.

Soon, there was some activity in the thread.

1st Floor: [I Want to Be the Pirate King]

"Huh? Why think so much? As long as your fists are strong enough, isn't it enough to knock the enemy away? You need to be well-fed to have the strength to fight, go eat some meat!"

Naruto looked at the line of text, and his lips twitched slightly.

"Eating meat... Is this thing a single-celled organism?"

If eating meat could solve the problem, then teeth wouldn't have been beaten and vomited blood to save themselves.

Fortunately, after a check-up at the hospital, he found nothing serious, otherwise he would have blamed himself for the rest of his life.

This suggestion can be ignored.

Immediately afterwards, Aizen also replied.

@The Person Standing at the Sky:

"If it were me, I would never put myself in a situation where I need to deal with unexpected situations."

True masters will nip all variables in the bud before the battle even begins, through planning, intelligence gathering, and subtle hints.

The moment you prepare to draw your sword, the battle should already be over.

The reason you're panicking is because your arrogance has made you overlook your control over the weak.

Naruto gave a wry smile.

Although Aizen's words were profound and went straight to the heart of the matter, they were too distant for him at the moment.

"Controlling everything... but I can't even control someone like Shuimu right now, how can I talk about controlling the situation?"

Even Aizen-sensei didn't have any good advice?

Naruto sighed and continued scrolling down.

2nd Floor [Dark Knight]:

Fear stems from the unknown, and chaos stems from loss of control.

My child, the biggest mistake you made was that you only had one plan.

True preparation involves gathering all intelligence about the opponent in advance and developing targeted tactics to address every weakness of the enemy.

You can't rely on improvisation; you always need a plan B and a plan C, or even all the backup plans from A to Z.

Always assume the worst-case scenario; don't rely on luck, only on your own strength and your contingency plans.

Naruto's expression gradually turned serious as he read the words.

"Insufficient preparation... At least there should be a Plan B and a Plan C, ideally progressing from A to Z..."

He recalled the scene where he was caught off guard by Shui Mu's attack.

If you pre-plan that Mizuki will transform, or prepare a sneak attack in advance, and pre-plan your retreat route if the sneak attack fails, would Kiba be spared from getting hurt?

【Ding! 】

[Suggestion included: Backup plan]

[Task Requirements: Have at least three backup plans in case of emergencies]

[Mission Reward: C-Rank Treasure Chest]

"This is very useful; I must write it down."

Naruto immediately took out his notebook and began to take notes.

Just then, a long comment with a completely different style appeared.

3rd Floor [The Cautious Warrior]:

"After reading your description, all I can say is that it's a miracle you survived. The mistakes you made are so numerous that they're suffocating me!"

You actually probed the enemy without knowing anything about them? You didn't finish them off after they fell?

You said you used a wide-range ninjutsu attack at the end? Then let me ask you, did you confirm the body? Did you personally see his heart stop beating, his brain burned, and every cell in his body turn to ash?

If not, how can you be so sure he's dead? What if he has regenerative abilities? What if he has a substitute?

You asked how to prepare?

True preparation isn't done before the battle begins, but before the fight itself!

Even against the weakest opponent, you must max out your strength, acquire the best equipment, and prepare hundreds of potions for immediate use!

In battle, use your special move right from the start, and afterwards, use flames repeatedly to clean up the battlefield, making sure to eliminate all potential threats!

"True caution means leaving no room for any possibility of an accident occurring!"

【Ding! 】

[Recommendation included: Extreme caution required]

【任务要求：1、将自己实力提升至『影级』（0/1），2、将敌人挫骨扬灰（0/10），3、购买并储备过量的忍具与药品（0/1）】

[Mission Reward: S-Rank Treasure Chest]

"An S-rank... mission?"

Naruto's pupils dilated in shock as he stared at the gleaming gold mission level.

This was the second time he had encountered an S-class mission.

Compared to the previous task, this is the task he is most likely to complete.

Looking at this "cautious hero's" almost neurotic cautious speech.

Naruto didn't find it funny at all; instead, he felt a sense of shared misery, and... pity.

What exactly did he go through to become so cautious to a pathological degree?

It must have been a pain that he never forgot.

"That's right... If I had done what he suggested, first using shadow clones to probe, and then bombarding with ninjutsu..."

Shuimu probably didn't even have a chance to drink the medicine.

Moreover, even if he drinks the drug, he will have no resistance.

Naruto closed the light screen, the confusion in his eyes completely disappearing, replaced by an almost obsessive calmness.

"I understand."

"I'm not strong enough, not cautious enough, and my firepower... is too weak!"

"I need to become stronger, more cautious, and better equipped!"

……

The next morning.

Konoha Commercial Street, Ninja Tool Specialty Store.

"Welcome! How can I help you?"

The owner warmly greeted the guests as they entered.

When the shop owner saw that it was Naruto, his smile froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered.

After all, the current Naruto is well-dressed and has a refined demeanor, completely unlike the annoying person he used to be.

Naruto pushed up his glasses, his gaze quickly sweeping over the store's furnishings before finally settling on the counter.

"Boss, I need explosive tags."

"Explosive tags, how many do you want? Students these days are really rich, one costs 300 taels."

The boss casually asked, as he was about to go and get a few loose detonating tags.

"I want them all."

Naruto said calmly.

"Oh, okay... Huh? What did you say?"

The boss doubted he had misheard.

His hand froze in mid-air, staring wide-eyed at Naruto, feeling utterly incredulous.

"I said, I want all the explosive tags in your shop."

Naruto pulled the frog wallet out of his pocket—

The amount of money inside was frightening. In addition to the hundreds of thousands of taels he had saved himself, there was also a sum sponsored by Sasuke.

Of course, most of the money comes from the rewards for completing daily E-level tasks.

For some reason, the monetary rewards were unexpectedly greater than those for other items.

Naruto has now saved up over three million taels of silver in cash.

The little frog was able to fit everything because he had exchanged all the paper money for 100,000 taels of silver.

Even so, the little frog's belly was bulging.

Although it hurts a little, I have to spend this money for the sake of the S-rank mission and my life!

"Also, give me five boxes of smoke grenades, five boxes of flashbangs, ten pounds of ration pills, and a set of the best chainmail and tactical vest..."

Naruto, like a middle-aged woman buying produce at a market, spouted out numbers that left everyone speechless.

Naruto used the money that could have bought a decent house to purchase an excessive amount of equipment.

"Um... Naruto-kun, excuse me for asking, but you need so many explosive tags... are you going to blow up the Hokage Rock?"

This is hardly the amount of equipment a reserve genin would receive.

You wouldn't need this many resources to fight a small-scale skirmish.

"It's just a backup plan."

Naruto gave a gentle and harmless smile.

"After all, graduation exams are just around the corner, and it's better to be prepared than not to face such strong classmates."
