Naruto: Start By Punching Trees And Shocking Kurama!

The power of Chakra can basically be said to be omnipotent, such as using Chakra to preserve consciousness or Chakra reincarnation.

But when it comes to versatility...

Nothing beats the Gelel's Stone.

This thing can make wells never run dry, accelerate crop growth, and even grant immortality.

Just look at that ferret, Nerugui.

It might look like an ordinary ferret, but thanks to the Gelel's Stone, it has lived for over a century.

It is said that Nerugui was already around when old man Kahiko was just a kid.

It can be said that a ferret is passed down through many generations, and the ferret remains even after the person is gone.

Hmm… almost like the fox spirit inside Naruto.

Aside from the fact that the Gelel's Stone's power makes its users hideously ugly, there don't seem to be any major downsides.

In short, Naruto found the stone incredibly powerful but also utterly unscientific.

After hearing this, Shikamaru and Sakura couldn't believe that such a power existed in the world.

But after seeing the advanced technology in the fortress, Sakura had no choice but to accept it.

And then came the excitement.

'If I could study this kind...'

'I will definitely be able to catch up with Naruto and Sasuke!'

On the other hand, Shikamaru feels that the Gelel's Stone is undeniably powerful and useful, but once such a thing appears in the world, it will inevitably spark endless conflict.

To sum it up in one sentence...

It's so troublesome!

…

In the sealed space, Kurama, had been diligently studying, suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes gleamed with brilliance.

'The Stone of Gelel...'

'Isn't this the Spirit Stone of the Shinobi World?!'

'And there's an entire vein of it!!'

'Why the hell didn't Naruto mention this sooner?!'

'This spirit stone's vein, this Immortal Emperor is determined to obtain it!'

Moreover, Kurama felt that he needed to let this fairly good Jinchuriki live a little longer.

…

"Does that mean that cult leader has found the vein?"

Shikamaru quickly deduced the result based on the current clues.

But his words instantly made the two former Cult Leaders very dissatisfied.

"Could you stop calling it a cult every five seconds?!"

Naruto and Sakura spoke at the same time, their fists clenched tightly.

Ever since they met Temujin, Shikamaru had been going on and on about 'cults'.

'The existence of the Cult Mechanicus/Scientific Truth Society is not something we want to see at all!'

'Why do you keep using this matter to point fingers at us?!'

"Alright, alright…"

"I'll stop."

"Now put down whatever you're holding."

Shikamaru waved his hand, signaling his two teammates to calm down and not to act rashly and accidentally murdered their companion

He even secretly warned himself in his heart...

'Damn it!'

'Next time, even if Hokage-sama ordered me, I will never go on a mission with Team 7!'

'Look at this mess!'

'It started with finding a lost animal…'

'And now it's about saving the world?!'

…

"Squeak, squeak—"

At this time, the ferret Nerugui leaped from a corner and landed neatly on Naruto's shoulder, then kept rubbing its cheek with Naruto's chin.

"Huh?"

"Why's this thing still here??"

Shikamaru was surprised to see the ferret, while Naruto scratched the ferret's chin and asked seriously, "Nerugui, do you know where the vein is?"

"Oi, Naruto, you really think it can understand you?"

Sakura asked strangely. She always felt that it was a bit absurd to pin their hopes on a small animal.

Shikamaru felt the same as her.

'Was Naruto out of his mind…?'

This caused Naruto to look at his two teammates in shock.

"Are you two stupid?"

"Don't you understand the intelligence of Summoned Beasts?"

The Shinobi World was full of bizarre creatures… dogs that forced people to touch their paws, dogs that fused with humans, yakuza toads, etc.

Naruto thought there wouldn't be much wrong with allowing himself to communicate with an immortal ferret.

Sakura and Shikamaru were speechless by this.

'As expected of a guy who has never attended a single class in the Academy!'

'He didn't even know the difference between Summoned Beasts and animals...'

Shikamaru covered his face. He no longer had the energy to complain about his teammates.

But just when Sakura wanted to say something, Nerugui suddenly rushed out dozens of meters from Naruto's shoulder, and kept nodding to the three people.

It seemed to be telling the three to follow it.

"See?!"

"I told you it understands!"

Naruto said proudly, glancing at the two of them with a smug look.

"And you two call yourselves Academy's geniuses?"

"How come you don't know this common sense?"

Shikamaru: "..."

Sakura: "..."

The two top students felt very humiliated when they were mocked by the class dunce.

Ignoring their reactions, Naruto followed Nerugui without hesitation. Shikamaru and Sakura exchanged a glance before chasing after him.

The three of them trekked through dense forests, crossed mountains, and guided by Nerugui, finally arrived at a valley.

"Wait!"

"Something's wrong."

Shikamaru suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky.

It is still afternoon, but the sky is becoming increasingly blue.

And there is a hint of green in the deep blue.

This situation is definitely not a normal natural phenomenon.

The abrupt change made the three and one ferret pause and observe.

'Strange…'

'Was this the Gelel's Stone's energy leaking out?'

Naruto was already thinking about whether to call for backup.

After all, if Haido had truly controlled the power of the entire Gelel's Veins...

He may not be able to kill the opponent in one second.

Just as they looked up at the sky, Haido's arrogant voice instantly rang out throughout the world.

"Hahahahahaha!"

"AHAHAHAHAHA!"

"You filthy, insignificant insects!"

"I will turn you all into nourishment for the Gelel's Empire!"

"Shinobi… Your era ends today!"

Somehow, Haido had amplified his voice to resonate across the entire Shinobi World.

At the moment his words fell, a beam of dark green light shot out from the bottom of the valley and shot straight into the sky.

At this moment, the entire Shinobi World was boiling because of him. The Shinobi from the Five Great Shinobi Villages looked up at the sky at the same time, their expressions inexplicably nervous.

Bang…

In the Hokage's Office, Tsunade smashed her desk in anger.

"GODDAMMIT!!"

"AGAIN?! SERIOUSLY?!"

"When is this going to end?!"

"Why the hell does someone always want to destroy the world?!"

Tsunade really couldn't take it anymore.

'It's only been a few days since the last incident happened!!'

'How come an unknown and powerful guy suddenly appeared and declared war on the entire Shinobi World using some powerful technique?'

'He even had the audacity to say the era of Shinobi is over?!'

'What kind of nonsense was this?!'

Tsunade pulled the corners of her eyes hard, closed her eyes slightly, and asked Shizune beside her "Tell me..."

"Did Uzumaki Naruto leave the village again?"

When Tsunade heard that someone wanted to destroy the Shinobi World, she subconsciously thought of the former world destroyer from Team 7 and suspected him.

There's nothing can be done, since these guys already have criminal records.

Shizune was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then she stammered and spoke after a while, "Tsu… Tsunade-sama..."

"It seems he went out on a mission with Shikamaru and Sakura..."

"But..."

"I'm sure this has nothing to do with them... right?"
