Chapter 207: Practicing Immortal Arts

As the few people and the toads continued to go deeper into the Medicine King Palace, Fukasaku and Shima gradually gained a more comprehensive understanding of this mysterious Medicine King Palace. At the same time, a certain desire for the Medicine King Palace quietly grew in their hearts.

Naruto naturally saw what the two toads were thinking. His signature golden hair swayed gently in the breeze. After scratching his head, he said with a sincere and hearty smile on his face: "Grandpa Fukasaku, Granny Shima, I can tell from the looks in your eyes that you are very interested in the things in the Medicine King Hall. The Medicine King Hall is now in Myoboku Mountain and you can come over anytime."

At this point, Naruto paused for a moment, his eyes sparkling with anticipation, and then he said more enthusiastically: "Of course, if you are willing, I really hope you can stay here. This Medicine King Palace is so big, and Kimimaro and I sometimes feel it's a bit lonely here."

Fukasaku and Shima looked at each other, and they saw surprise, emotion, and a hint of hesitation in each other's eyes. Fukasaku jumped in front of Naruto, his small green bean-like eyes were full of satisfaction, and his beard trembled slightly as he said, "Naruto, you are such a kind and generous child. We are indeed very curious about many things in the Medicine King Palace. As soon as we came in, we were deeply attracted by everything here and wanted to study it in depth. However, this Medicine King Palace is an opportunity you have finally obtained. It is really a pity for us to enjoy the resources inside and live here."

Shima also echoed, "Yes, Naruto. This is yours. How can we enjoy these benefits for no reason? We have lived in Myoboku Mountain for so long, we can't just take advantage of you."

Naruto waved his hands hurriedly upon hearing this. He looked extremely anxious, and the golden hair on his forehead swayed with his movements. "Grandpa Fukasaku, Granny Shima, please don't think like that. In my heart, you are just like my family. From the very beginning when I came to Myoboku Mountain, you have been caring for me and raising me. When I encountered difficulties in my training, you always silently protected me and gave me help and support. I have always been full of gratitude to you, and this gratitude has long been deeply rooted in my heart and cannot be erased."

Naruto's eyes were full of sincerity. He took a step forward, his voice a little excited: "Although I got this Medicine King Hall by chance, in my opinion, it not only belongs to me, but also to you. Every blade of grass, every brick and every tile here should be shared with you. I sincerely hope that you can treat this place as your own home, as comfortable and at ease as in Myoboku Mountain. If you have any ideas or suggestions, you can implement them as if you were at home. I hope we can live here together."

Tears of emotion welled up in Fukasaku's little eyes. He wiped his eyes with his little paws, his voice choking a little: "Naruto, we are so moved by your kindness. We have lived for so long, but have never met a human child as kind and loyal as you."

Shima's eyes also reddened. She gently patted Naruto's shoulder and said, "Little Naruto, since you said so, we will treat this place as our home. We will also do our best to make this home better."

Naruto smiled happily, and that smile was as warm as the sunshine.

In the following days, the Medicine King Hall became very lively. Gamakichi and Gamakyuu also rushed to meet Naruto after hearing about his return.

On this day, Naruto was concentrating on sorting out and studying the martial arts books in the golden pagoda.

At this time, Fukasaku came to Naruto mysteriously. With a sly light in his eyes, he jumped onto the table in front of Naruto, scratched his head with his little paws, and said, "Little Naruto, it's been a long time. When are you going to learn fairy arts from me? You can't forget about fairy arts because of the treasures in the Medicine King Palace. Practicing fairy arts is very important for you to improve your strength."

Naruto raised his head, his eyes still a little confused. He was too focused on studying the classics just now, and he didn't react for a while. But soon, he showed an awkward smile. Although Naruto wanted to learn fairy arts, it was not so urgent for him. The fairy arts combat power bonus in the original work was indeed great for Naruto at that time, but for Naruto now, it was just an additional means to fight the enemy.

"I'm sorry, Grandpa. I've been too busy organizing things these days. I forgot about it for a moment. Let's do this. Tomorrow, I'll wait for you in the square early in the morning." Naruto said apologetically. He scratched his hair with a sincere look on his face.

Fukasaku nodded slightly, his eyes showing understanding: "Alright, little Naruto. Then you must be on time, and you can't delay the practice of senjutsu any longer. This senjutsu is of great significance to you. After you learn it, your strength will have a qualitative leap."

"I know, Grandpa Fukasaku." Naruto answered with a firm look in his eyes, "I can't wait to start practicing senjutsu, but the things in the Medicine King Hall are so attractive that I was careless for a moment. But I have made preparations, and I will definitely follow you to learn senjutsu tomorrow."

Fukasaku gave a few more instructions: "Then you should have a good rest tonight and adjust your condition. Practicing immortal arts is not easy and requires you to concentrate all your energy."

The next morning, Naruto dragged his sleepy eyes and yawned to the square. While rubbing his eyes, he secretly regretted that he should not have slept so late last night to study those classics.

In the square, the morning sun shone softly, and the Medicine King Hall looked even more mysterious and solemn under the morning light. A light breeze blew by, bringing a slight coolness, which also made Naruto a little more awake.

Fukasaku had been waiting in the square for a long time. Seeing Naruto's sleepy look, he muttered in dissatisfaction: "Little Naruto, you don't look like you are serious about learning fairy arts. The practice of fairy arts requires your full commitment. How can you be so half-hearted like this?"

Naruto scratched his head awkwardly and said quickly, "I'm sorry, Grandpa Fukasaku. I was too immersed in organizing materials last night and ended up staying up late. But I'm ready now, so please start teaching me."

Fukasaku shook his head helplessly: "Kid, you are just too impatient. But since we are here, let's get started. First of all, you have to know that the essence of senjutsu is to integrate the power of nature into your own chakra, which is not an easy task. You need to learn to sense the natural power around you first, like this."
