Konoha: Start by signing in with Hashirama's cells

The passive effect of the spirit transformation technique, soul perception, did not sense any soul reaction, which means that this Sakura is a shadow clone.

"Thank you for last night," Naruto said, "I slept well and all my mental fatigue disappeared."

The shadow clone Sakura froze and said with difficulty: "Do you know what I did?"

"I was asleep, how would I know?" Naruto said, "It was the Nine-Tail that told me. It said it sensed the Five-Tail and knew you were here and stayed for two hours."

Hearing this, the shadow clone Sakura secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"So, what did you do?" Naruto asked.

Shadow clone Sakura was silent.

"Can't tell?" Naruto became even more curious.

"It would be better to let the real person answer this kind of thing," said the shadow clone Sakura.

"It's okay if you feel embarrassed, but I don't have to know." Naruto waved his hand.

"This kind of deep sleep can indeed help me relieve mental fatigue, but it takes too long and is not suitable for me."

"It's not even eight hours, it's longer. How long do you sleep a day now?" Shadow clone Sakura.

"Two or three hours." Naruto.

Shadow clone Sakura wanted to hit Naruto, but she knew she didn't have the power to do so.

"What are you doing Hinata? You're not taking care of your body like this. What if something happens and your body collapses? What will we do then?" Complainingly, the shadow clone Sakura took the initiative to dissolve herself.

Not long after, there was a flash of pink light, and the real Sakura appeared.

"It seems that the young lady is not very good at taking care of people. If it were me, I would never let you do whatever you want." Sakura said.

"Hinata listens to me in everything. She is different from you." Naruto said.

Sakura was sullen and didn't respond.

"Where have you been? Your skin looks sticky." Naruto raised an eyebrow.

Sakura turned her head away, not looking at Naruto, and said in a muffled voice: "Wet Bone Forest, I heard from Master that it is the Myoboku Mountain that you have contracted with, and it is one of the three great fairy places."

"The Wet Bone Forest, so that's where you're mainly training now." Naruto.

Sakura nodded: "I have asked Master what technique can greatly improve combat ability, and the answer I got was fairy technique."

"Senjutsu..." Naruto said, "I relied on the Nine-Tails' help and took shortcuts to master the Senjutsu. You should be able to do it, too."

"Help? How?" Sakura was stunned. She learned from Naruto that it was the Nine-Tails that helped absorb natural energy. She quickly asked the Five-Tails in her body.

"The Five-Tails said no," Sakura shook her head.

"It can't sense natural energy. That should be a special ability of the Nine-Tailed Fox, just like the Five-Tailed Fox's ability to control steam."

Naruto was surprised to hear this statement.

He thought that Jiu Lama could only sense evil, but he didn't expect that sensing and absorbing natural energy were also Jiu Lama's unique abilities.

Bringing this topic to light, Sakura said, "I can't tell you what I did last night."

"If you want a deep sleep, you can come to me anytime. I will adjust the time."

"Is it medicine?" Naruto guessed.

"Yes and no. It requires some techniques." Sakura said unnaturally.

"Don't try it yourself. It's easy to get into trouble. This is no joke. The best thing to do is come to me and I'll help you check it out."

"Hmm? Princess Fengyun is waving at you?"

Naruto looked in the direction he was looking and saw Xiaoxue, who had just finished filming a few shots, waving at him while putting on makeup.

"Okay then. Next time I need you, I'll come to you. But don't stay too long. Five hours at most."

Seeing Naruto walking towards Princess Fengyun, the two whispered something, Sakura's eyes flickered slightly: "Maybe, we can keep going like this."

The childhood sweetheart who I have been with day and night since childhood saved me from the despair and darkness where there was no hope at all.

Sakura can't give up Naruto.

But you can't interfere as a third party. Naruto and Hinata are engaged, not in a relationship. The nature of the relationship is different.

What can I do if I don’t want to give up, but there is no possibility of going further?

Finding a new relationship? Ha, that's harder than giving up Naruto.

"Even though it's like drinking poison to quench thirst, I also want to..." Sakura.

"Be careful and don't let anyone, including Naruto, know about it, and nothing will happen." Riying said, "This is our secret."

"Well, it's a secret that can't be revealed." Sakura.

seal.

Leave a shadow clone here.

Taking out the small slug from the ninja tool bag, Sakura said, "Slug-sama, thank you for your help."

Here, the real Sakura, under the reverse summoning of the Slug Sage, heads to the Wet Bone Forest, which is no longer in the Ninja World.

On the other side, Naruto smiled when he learned that Xiaoxue was worried about her safety.

"The kunai I gave you yesterday has a mark I left on it. No matter how far away you are, I can come to you in an instant. You can rest assured."

"I'm not a ninja, so why would I carry that kind of thing with me?" Xiaoxue was speechless.

"Besides, there is a possibility that external objects may be replaced. Is there any more reliable protection measure?"

"Safer..." Naruto thought for a moment.

"You won't need to do that now that I'm here. After the mission is over, I will arrange for a clone to be responsible for your safety and charge you regularly."

"How does the clone's strength compare to yours?" Xiaoxue said.

"Although not as strong as me, it is enough to handle most situations." Naruto said.

"I'm not spending money to hire a clone. I want you. The clone sounds unreliable." Xiaoxue said.

"Okay, but you have to raise the price. My appearance fee is not low." Naruto said.

Xiaoxue had been terrified of Fenghua Nutao for ten years. She didn't dare to joke with her life. She thought about it and said through gritted teeth, "At most 50%."

"Deal." Naruto said.

In a few words, the effort remains the same, but the profit increases by 10%.

Delicious.

Are you kidding? His shadow clone can use Kurama's chakra, can enter Sage Mode, and has combat power that far surpasses the Five Kage, but he still can't protect Xiaoxue?

Chapter 118

On the sixth day of sailing at sea, the temperature began to drop significantly.

The closer you get to the Snow Country, the colder it gets.

In the cabin where Naruto lives.

There was a flash of golden light.

Naruto, wearing only a pair of swimming trunks, appeared out of nowhere.

With his teeth chattering and shivering, he sat in front of the rechargeable heater, putting on all the quilts and clothes he could.

"Huh, winter swimming has many benefits, but it's too painful and too hard to stick with." Naruto sighed and picked up the thermos cup.

Blow on the boiling hot water, take a sip, and your body will gradually warm up.

"I can't see any benefit. I just see that you are looking for trouble and asking for trouble." Jiu Lama couldn't help but say.

"You are not a human being. You won't understand even if I tell you." Naruto said.

"I won't mention the benefits to my body, the main thing is that I can use this method to hone my endurance and willpower."

"You see, this is my first time trying winter swimming, and I don't want to do it a second time. I want to give up."

"The more this happens, the more I must persist. I must defeat the fearful, shrinking, and timid me. What do you call this? This is called defeating myself."

There are few people at the stern of the ship to begin with, and even fewer people will come here after the temperature drops sharply.

Suddenly, Naruto appeared out of nowhere, and it turned out that he had left the Flying Thunder God Mark here.

Without giving himself time to hesitate, he jumped down, splashing water and completely submerged in the freezing cold sea.

Refining chakra and spreading it throughout the body can have a certain effect in dispelling cold, and at least it won't be so unbearable.

But that would defeat the purpose of exercising the body and tempering the will.

Naruto's requirement for himself is to dive as deep as possible without the help of chakra and practice under the pressure of water.

You don't need to do any special movements, normal swimming is the best exercise.

Immortal mode.

Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.

As well as the subsequent Kurama Mode and Six Paths Sage Mode, they are all gain states.

Based on one's own strength, it can be amplified exponentially.

Assuming the state gain is ten times, ten times two is twenty, ten times three is thirty, ten times five is fifty, and ten times ten is one hundred.

Even if you just improve your basic physical fitness a little bit, there will be exaggerated gains.

That is to say, the physical foundation determines the gain effect.

That was the first time, Naruto only dived to a depth of five meters and lasted less than a minute.

The second time, he gritted his teeth, ignored any personal feelings, held his breath, and dived down desperately until he reached his limit.

He took off the Flying Thunder God Kunai pinned to his swimming trunks, stayed here, formed a seal with one hand, flew to the stern of the ship, took a breath, then locked the mark again and returned to the previous depth.

He grabbed the kunai, re-pinned it on his swimming trunks, and continued to dive.

It was so painful, so cold, I really wanted to give up, the pressure was so great. Besides, if Naruto hadn't come here, he wouldn't have known that he had a fear of the deep sea.

There was water all around, and it was pitch black. From time to time, something I didn't know what it was would swim past me. It was so scary.
