Chapter 60 Half a year later, Kakuzu
"Only three days' worth of food?"
"You'll soon understand why it's three days."
Naoto entered the dining room and, following the gaze, noticed that it was piled with various high-energy foods not far away, including dried meat jerky, specially made military rations, and even several large barrels of nutrient solution.
three days later.
Naoto finally understood the meaning of Shisei Aburame's words.
The amount of food he consumed in those three days was equivalent to the amount he had consumed in the previous sixty days. And once that food entered his body, it was almost immediately absorbed and transformed by those white tentacles, becoming new energy reserves.
The price he paid was that he did almost nothing else for the past three days but ate the whole time.
Of course, he did not gain immortality or the ability to have five hearts, but he did gain the potential for unlimited growth in physical attributes and the ability to awaken his own five elemental attributes through energy.
However, this growth is relatively slow and has an upper limit: the upper limit depends on the strength of one's control over one's mental power.
However, as the body gradually becomes stronger, mental strength will also passively increase during training, but the speed is very slow.
Looking at Naoto, who had fully recovered, Aburame Shisei said, "Every drop of dew requires a massive amount of energy. However, your physical condition is quite good, and you recovered faster than I expected."
Actually, there are even better methods. The original Earth Grudge could extend its tentacles to pluck out other people's hearts, while the new version can extract the human body's bio-energy.
The most suitable material for human cell breakthroughs naturally comes from the life substances condensed from human cells.
Therefore, these white tentacles can absorb the life force of dead corpses or dying people.
However, Shisei Aburame doesn't want to give Naoto too much of a shock at the moment.
Naoto wiped his mouth, then suddenly remembered something: "Oh right, didn't you say you wanted to spar? Now you can."
A rare smile appeared on Shiseido's face.
He said, "You seem very confident."
"You'll know once you try it."
Underground training ground.
Two figures crossed paths, the chirping of insects mingling with the sound of wind breaking.
Ten minutes later, Naoto knelt on one knee, panting heavily. His clothes were covered with tiny tears, marks left by insect bites.
Aburame Shicheng stood not far away, his expression calm.
"Your current chakra reserves already surpass those of most elite Jonin. The level of chakra refinement is also quite good, but there's still a gap between you and top-tier powerhouses."
He walked up to Naoto and held out his hand: "Do you know where the difference lies?"
Naoto grasped his hand and stood up: "What's the difference?"
"Your spirit," Shisei Aburame said, looking into his eyes. "Your ninja way isn't firm enough. You have the strength, but your will hasn't fully caught up. This needs time to hone, and experience to mature."
Naoto was silent for a moment, then nodded. Anyway, he came from a great ninja village and knew so much, so what he said should be correct.
Aburame Shisei continued, "However, you are only using about 40% of your physical potential right now. There is still a lot you need to learn in the coming days."
Upon hearing about learning, Naoto instinctively resisted. For the next few months, Naoto remained in the underground palace, spending almost 90% of his time there.
This time, however, the learning was no longer about brain-teasing knowledge, but rather about ninjutsu, which he was more interested in.
Aburame Shisei's teaching was not the kind of cramming, but a gradual and progressive guidance.
He taught Naoto the knowledge and skills of various ninjutsu, the theory of chakra transformation and attribute transformation, and even some basic sealing techniques.
Aburame Shisei compiled some knowledge into a booklet and placed it in front of him, saying, "Although I don't know the Five Elements Escape Technique, I am, after all, from a great ninja village, and I know all the necessary theories. As for whether you can learn it, that depends on yourself."
Naoto nodded and studied very diligently. He knew that this kind of knowledge was something that no amount of money could buy.
After March, winter will pass, and in the blink of an eye, it will be spring of Konoha 37.
In the underground training ground, Naoto was finally able to fight Aburame Shisei to a draw, of course, without Aburame Shisei using his full strength.
"That's about it."
Aburame Shisei retracted the insects from his body: "You can currently utilize about 60 to 70% of this body's strength. The rest, you'll need to figure out on your own in actual combat."
Naoto nodded, then asked, "What about the barrier? When are you going to open it? You promised me that once I helped you complete your experiment, you would open the barrier outside the village and give the ninjas and villagers their freedom. But now, the village has been sealed off for almost two years, and they're like a powder keg about to explode..."
"Do you know why they've become like this?"
"They want freedom."
"Wrong!" You Nu Zhicheng shook his head and said, "It's because their lives are too difficult. As the old saying goes, 'When people are well-fed and clothed, they think of lust,' and that's exactly their state now."
Naoto didn't quite understand, as the old saying goes, but he understood what Aburame Shisei was saying.
However, he still didn't quite understand why, after people got a better life, not everyone enjoyed comfort; some people, especially ninjas, became increasingly irritable.
"Don't worry, I will keep my promise. In three days, I will open the village's barrier, allowing the villagers and ninjas to come and go freely. However, you must also promise me that you will not reveal any secrets here, and that you will not let anyone know my true identity. In addition, I need to keep a close watch on the village and prevent any spies from infiltrating."
Naoto nodded emphatically and swore, "Don't worry, I won't reveal any information about you. I'll also protect the village and prevent any spies from infiltrating."
"I believe in you, and I hope you can do it completely."
After Aburame Shichen finished speaking, he let him leave the underground palace. Naoto has now mastered the Five Elements Escape Technique, as well as the form and attribute changes of various escape techniques. Apart from not having immortality and five lives, he can be considered a mini-Kakuzu.
Dealing with ordinary Jonin and some elite Jonin is no problem at all.
Aburame Shisei told him to go ahead and do it, which was almost equivalent to letting him take over the village, but his security was only on the surface.
Now that the barrier is about to be opened, he naturally needs to set up a new defense system, since he will soon need to start researching condensation.
In addition to checking for any harmfulness, we should also try to make the most of the condensate.
As for whether Naoto will turn against him, there's no need to consider that right now, because from the day we met, he has been the easiest target to control.
Because he was not only upright and kind, but also inherited Captain Sato's will to protect the village.
