Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Flick And Run, Ability Enhancement Potion
"Naruto, I really trouble you this time!
As long as I take care of things here, you can go back and continue the mission."
Yūhi Kurenai stepped forward to adjust Hinata's sleeping position, raising her distinctive red eyes to look at Naruto and smiling softly.
"It's okay, Teacher Kurenai!
I'll go back with you later...
By the way, may I ask, do you have a boyfriend?"
Naruto smiled brightly, playfully rejecting Kurenai's tenderness, and launched his own playful offensive.
"Why do you ask such a question?"
Kurenai's face flushed red, her embarrassment evident.
This brat, could it be...
Thinking of that possibility, Kurenai's pupils widened slightly as she felt even more ashamed and angry; she was not a woman to be trifled with.
"I'm just curious!
I think an outstanding and beautiful teacher like you would have someone special in her life..."
Naruto feigned curiosity, trying to gauge whether Kurenai had started a relationship with Asuma yet.
In the original plot, their emotional connection had always been ambiguous. They had known each other since childhood and had seemed to be close for a long time.
Then came the unexpected pregnancy during the "Shipwind" arc, and eventually, she remained unmarried for life.
This indirectly illustrated Kurenai's character as a strong woman who dressed boldly, had an unrestrained personality, but tended to be conservative in relationships.
A woman like her needed to be approached slowly!
This wasn't a game; you couldn't just win over a female teacher without effort.
"Well, I haven't...
No, that's not the question you should be asking.
Naruto, you can go..."
After realizing Naruto wasn't implying what she initially thought, Kurenai secretly breathed a sigh of relief and spoke in a panic.
*Damn...
How can I say that?
Isn't that self-inflicted?*
Kurenai thought to herself, pretending to be angry to mask her embarrassment.
"Haha...
Teacher, has anyone ever told you that you're really cute?
I like you a lot..."
Naruto, already aware of her feelings, leaned closer and teased her in a whisper before quickly running away.
That brief warm breath left Kurenai frozen in place.
"That little brat thinks I'm cute?
Does he actually like me?"
Kurenai's eyes widened as she stared at the spot where Naruto had just disappeared. A blush crept onto her face, and she murmured angrily to herself.
"Hehe...
Just flirt and run, leaving a deep impression first. That will do for now.
As for Asuma?
Next time I see him, I'll take action!"
After Naruto dashed out of the hospital, he happily muttered a few words to himself before leaving.
Afternoon
When Kurenai returned with the blushing Hinata to the medicine field, she saw that Team 7 had already completed their task and disbanded.
"Shino, Inuzuka, why did you finish your mission so quickly?"
Kurenai asked, looking at her two panting disciples with a straight face.
She had intended to teach Naruto a lesson when she arrived.
"Uh, Teacher Kurenai,
You don't know how annoying Naruto is!
He just distributed hundreds of Shadow Clones and finished the weeding task in less than half an hour.
And then, that's it..."
Inuzuka Kiba looked at the neatly maintained medicine field and complained, his annoyance evident.
Only then did Kurenai remember the terrifying power of Four-Tails Naruto and froze in fear.
It seemed that even if she wanted to teach him a lesson, she couldn't.
"Naruto-kun..."
Hinata, standing beside Kurenai, looked at the adjacent medicine field in despair, gripping the hem of her clothes tightly and whispering like a mosquito.
As the eighth team pondered the situation, Naruto was busy studying ninjutsu in the Forest of Death...
"Hey hey...
I'm not stupid; I should avoid reducing my impression points.
Let it settle for now!
Now that I have access to such cost-effective options, I can definitely take advantage of them.
How could Naruto not know how to utilize these items..."
Naruto held a bottle of purple spray in his hand, spraying it on his head a few times and laughing.
This spray was called [Ability Enhancement Potion], designed to enhance the attributes of the sprayed area, starting at ten times the original effect and capable of stacking.
Whether it's on the body and mind or clothes, shoes, and socks, the enhancement is profound!
Wait, what if I spray it somewhere else?
Naruto's confidence soared; he was sure it could yield incredible results...
Cough cough...
*That was a mistake!
If I spray it on my Kamui eyes, the Distinguished Heavenly Gods, or the Nine Tails, the effects would be unimaginable...*
It only costs 3000 points a bottle—a great deal!
The only downside is that each spray lasts only five minutes, and one bottle can only spray about forty times.
Right now, Naruto still has 37,580 points left.
"This stuff is truly powerful!
A guy like me can finally recall the ninjutsu lessons I learned before.
Understanding and developing ninjutsu feels like hacking!
My brain has upgraded from a simple machine to the level of a flagship smartphone.
So, here we go.
Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"
Excitedly, Naruto clapped his hands together and shouted loudly.
Bang! Bang! Bang! White smoke billowed as five Shadow Clones appeared around him.
As soon as these Shadow Clones appeared, they each began to study one attribute of the Rasengan.
Meanwhile, Naruto focused on realizing the ultimate power of Sharingan: Susanoo!
This ultimate ocular technique, hosted by Mangekyō, had not been fully awakened in Naruto yet, as he hadn't copied the complete powers.
Suddenly, explosions erupted throughout the forest...
Chakra of various attributes danced around him...
There was also a terrifying pressure appearing and disappearing intermittently...
The wild beasts and poisonous insects in the Forest of Death began to tremble in fear...
