Chapter 20

Early morning.

In the woods of Wave Country.

"I will never be affected by ridiculous killing intent again!"

"I will never be bewitched by the inner demon again!"

Naruto's face was grim, and he was angry and annoyed at his own incompetence.

He could pretend to be indifferent in front of others, but he could never deceive his own heart!

The moment of hesitation between life and death was a sin he could never forget.

Absolutely! There will never be a next time!

Even if it means death!

Naruto punched the tree with his steel fists over and over again, leaving himself covered with bruises.

Until...

Karaka... Boom!

The tree trunk, which was as thick as an adult's waist, was broken by a punch.

Naruto slowly fell backwards, lying flat on the lawn, looking at the high blue sky through the shade of the trees.

It had been a week since Zabuza's last interception, and the bridge in Wave Country was also under construction in full swing.

The members of Team 7 also stood guard as agreed.

Fortunately, the weather has been good recently, and there is no foggy weather.

So Kakashi let Naruto and the others practice on their own when there is no foggy weather.

The previous battle with Zabuza made Naruto deeply realize his shortcomings.

He had too few means when facing senior jonin.

First of all, in terms of ninjutsu, his wind blowing cut is actually not weak, but it is difficult to use it in battle.

Because the speed of the jonin is too fast, it is almost impossible to use ninjutsu slowly in front of the jonin.

Secondly, in terms of physical skills, his physical skills are fast and powerful. But the shortcomings are also obvious. Once he encounters a ninja whose sword skills are not weaker than his own physical skills, he will fall into a passive position.

Because he is a mortal after all, and his steel fist is not good at dodging, he can easily be injured by swords.

If he hadn't used the remaining attribute points, he might have really died last time against Zabuza.

'I lack a trick that can be used quickly, has great damage, and is enough to decide the outcome with one blow! ’

While thinking, Naruto glanced at the attribute panel.

Of all the ninjutsu he had learned, the most powerful one was the B-level ninjutsu, Fubukiri, but he was reluctant to spend the attribute points on the B-level ninjutsu.

He had already tried, and using 4 attribute points still could not strengthen Fubukiri again (proficient), which means that if he wanted to upgrade this again, he would need at least 5 attribute points.

And 5 attribute points were enough to get started with five D-level ninjutsu!

So, he set his sights on those ninjutsu that had not yet been learned.

The ninjutsu that had not yet been learned were the Golden Binding Technique (D-level), Wind Style·Beast Wave Palm (C-level), Wind Style·Great Breakthrough (C-level), Wind Style·Vacuum Sword (C-level), and Wind Style·Wind Wall (B-level), with 11 attribute points remaining.

Well, although they were all very useful, they could not solve the current problem.

If these ninjutsu were simply upgraded to the proficient level, their power would not be as strong as his Konoha Steel Fist.

Ahhh! Why don't I have a Sharingan? Otherwise, I can point out the Lightning Release attribute and learn the secrets of Kakashi.

Naruto shook his head in distress. In Team 7, Kakashi and Sasuke both have Sharingans, and he actually wants one.

With the insight of the Sharingan, he will definitely learn ninjutsu much faster.

Unfortunately, that is just a luxury. After all, even if the Uchiha family is still there, he has no reason to snatch other people's eyes.

'Then, the best way to deal with the bandage uncle at the moment is to rely on Kakashi, but I also have to improve my strength to prevent others from becoming a breakthrough. '

Naruto sighed. He actually wanted to wait another month or two to upgrade his physical skills again, rather than spending it now.

But the problem in front of him had to be solved.

Then add more chakra control.

Maybe if the control is increased, it can drive his other ninjutsu again.

Naruto looked at the chakra control on the panel.

[Chakra Control (Mastery) → Chakra Control (Expert), remaining attribute points: 1]

[Uzumaki Naruto - Age: 12; Level: Genin; Chakra attributes: Wind, Yang (Water, Fire, Thunder, Earth, Yin); Chakra amount: 300 (600); Chakra Control (Expert); Ninjutsu: Multiple Shadow Clones (Mastery), Fubukiri (Proficient), Harem Technique (Master), Instant Body Technique (Expert), Substitute Technique (Mastery); Taijutsu: Konoha Steel Fist (Master); Shuriken (Entry); Available attribute points: 1]

? ? ?

"So! Why is the Ultimate Secret greatly improved!"

Naruto's mouth twitched wildly, and he was a little exasperated.

Continuous training experience poured into his mind, and Naruto knew that he could now stand on the rough water.At the same time, his instant body technique was also upgraded to expert. Because of the improvement of chakra control, his activation speed was faster and the traces became less obvious.

It was just a ninjutsu that was upgraded, but there was no training memory. He needed to spend some time to familiarize himself with it.

This time, there were a lot of training memories that flooded into his mind, and Naruto was a little tired, so his eyes were dazed and he fell asleep on the lawn.

"It's easy to catch a cold if you sleep in a place like this."

With a slightly neutral voice and a gentle push, Naruto slowly opened his eyes.

What he saw was a black-haired lady wearing a pink kimono.

"Who are you?"

Naruto rubbed his confused eyes, sat up and looked at the black-haired lady curiously.

"Bai."

Bai squinted and smiled at Naruto, smiling very gently.

"My name is Uzumaki Naruto."

It was the first time that Naruto saw a girl looking at him so gently, and he was embarrassed to say his name, and then asked.

"Sister, what are you doing here so early?"

"Collecting herbs, what about you, Naruto?"

Bai gently pointed to the medicine basket beside him.

"Practicing."

Naruto grinned.

"Practicing for the dream that I have to fulfill."

"Hmm? Dream?"

Bai looked at the forehead protector tied on Naruto's forehead with some curiosity.

"Is it about ninjas?"

"No."

Naruto looked at Bai, and for some reason, he felt very kind and trusting.

"Not only ninjas, but in order to ensure that everyone can have enough food and no longer be hungry, everyone has the same equal status, and people will not look up to you just because you are a noble, nor will they be bullied just because they are orphans. People have their own independent thoughts, and will not be easily fooled for some inexplicable reasons, thus becoming accomplices of evil."

Naruto smiled and looked at the sky, his eyes full of longing and determination for the future.

"In the future of my dreams, people of my sister's age will study hard for their dreams without worries in school, and everyone can become someone who is needed."

"Not for yourself?"

Bai tilted his head and looked at Naruto. His lofty dreams could not easily move him.

"Because I, no, many people have had bad experiences, so I want to change the world."

Naruto scratched his head and smiled at Bai.

"Haha, sister must think I'm too self-righteous, right?"

"No, I believe you will succeed."

Bai seemed to think of his childhood experience. After a moment of silence, he suddenly stood up and picked up the medicine basket, saying as he left.

"It's getting late, so I'll leave first. Also, I'm a man."

"Huh?!"

Naruto's expression gradually collapsed. He just felt a little moved, but the fire was extinguished before it burned.

Am I destined to be alone?

Wuwuwu...

It hurts, it hurts so much!
