In Konoha's Forest of Death, a small figure was lying on the stone platform, doing push-ups.
"912, 913, 914..."
Naruto looked completely stress-free, but his body couldn't help but tense up, and his mood suddenly became tense.
Soon, it will be a thousand!
"Naruto, the weighted rock technique is about to be released next, so be prepared."
Hearing the familiar voice in his head, Naruto's blue eyes trembled and he whispered: "Come on Menma-san, I'm ready!"
After the words fell from the bottom of his heart, Menma, who was in the sealed space, stopped talking and silently used the Earth Release and Jueyan Jutsu that he had collected from Iwagakure Village.
"Uh-huh!"
Naruto's body sank suddenly, and his sore arms subconsciously relaxed.
"Hold on!"
Menma shouted in a low voice: "Think about how you usually do it, adjust your breathing rate and muscle condition!"
Naruto's muscles ached, and a large amount of sweat slid down his cheeks, but he still gritted his teeth and looked extremely determined.
"Breathe~breathe~"
On the surface, there seemed to be no change at all, but Naruto was actually trying his best to keep his breathing rate stable while exploring the limits of his body.
In the sealed space, Menma narrowed his eyes slightly.
"As expected of the son of destiny, his talent is truly terrifying."
Naruto's performance in the ninja school was already very impressive, and he was slightly better every time he competed with Uchiha Sasuke.
No matter how much stronger Sasuke got, Naruto could always win every move, and it seemed like a narrow victory every time.
Although this surprised the Third Generation, Iruka and others, it was actually not beyond common sense.
But behind the scenes...
Relying on the physique of the Uzumaki clan, the resilience brought by the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, and the Asura chakra that is integrated day after day.
Menma's training for Naruto was also extremely strict. Recently, he used Earth Release and Weighted Rock Jutsu to increase the weight he could bear, constantly beating his body.
No one would know how exaggerated Naruto's current physical fitness was.
“When heaven is about to entrust a man with a great responsibility, he must first strain his mind and will, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and mess up his actions. Therefore, tempting his heart and forbearance will benefit him beyond his ability.”
In layman's terms, if you can't practice to death, practice to death.
After all, Menma cannot stay in Konoha to be Naruto's teacher. Konoha can only be a stage for Naruto to dance in the future. He should be allowed to collect his own debts.
Menma himself had more important things to do.
Snapped!
Looking at the useless fox snoring loudly beside him, Menma stretched out his hand and popped its huge snot bubble.
"Uh-huh?"
Kyuubi's expression was still a little dazed, obviously he hadn't woken up from his drowsiness.
This so-called strongest tailed beast is considered useless.
But having said that, isn’t this useless fox a little embarrassed?
Menma smiled helplessly and asked: "Ku Lama, how many tails can Naruto withstand at most with his current physical fitness?"
"...Tsk."
Kyuubi gradually woke up and glanced at Menma impatiently.
Then he observed Naruto carefully, and after a moment he said, "As long as I don't resist, I should be able to reach the Three Tails without any injuries and still maintain my sanity."
Menma rubbed his chin and said, "It's actually okay if the four and five tails are forcibly turned on, but I'm afraid they will be burned by your chakra and their sanity will be weakened."
Although Kurama did not reject it, if the physical body was not strong enough, if the seal was opened, the huge Nine-tailed Chakra alone would be enough to burst Naruto's life.
Moreover, the hatred inherent in the Nine-Tails Chakra will also affect Naruto's sanity and weaken his ability to judge the battle situation.
This is why Menma trained Naruto so intensely.
If you want him to build up his body to the point where he can perfectly carry the Nine-Tails chakra in the shortest possible time, he must take strong medicine to have some hope.
But all this is thanks to Naruto's extremely powerful vitality.
No matter how tiring you are after training, you will be exhausted and full of energy after you wake up.
Otherwise, if it were someone else, he would have been defeated by this kind of training intensity.
"But having said that, Naruto's absorption of Asura's chakra is getting slower and slower now. Has he reached some kind of critical point?"
Menma frowned, a sense of urgency rising in his heart.
His arrangements in Konoha are basically ready, and now only the last wind is needed to blow up the flame.
His physical forging process has been mostly completed.
Even if the remaining power is far less than the peak period, the chakra characteristics carried in the soul are still retained, so the ninjutsu that was once usable can still be used after gaining a body.
His chakra attributes are all attributes.
This is rare, but not unique.
The second generation Hokage Senju Tobirama, the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, one of the three ninjas Orochimaru, Hatake Kakashi and others, these people all have chakra of all attributes.
Chakra attributes will also be carried into the new body along with the soul.
Otherwise, every time Orochimaru reincarnates, he may have to find a container with all attributes of chakra.
Ninjutsu wasn't a problem, but Menma was stuck on the most critical step.
——The formula of the power of all things, and the physical template.
The former, as the name suggests, is the formula for the forces of yin and yang to achieve a balanced state.
White Zetsu's body and Hashirama's arms rely on this formula to achieve a balance of yin and yang.
However, the components of Hashirama's arm are too complex, and it will take Menma some time to figure out the connection between them.
As for the latter's physical template, Naruto's cells can be used as the basic structure. After all, they are peers.
However, he had to wait until Naruto completely awakened his immortal body before he could barely qualify.
"Hashirama cells can be used to guide Naruto to fuse the Asura chakra in his body faster, but..."
Naruto's current compatibility with Hashirama's cells is too poor. Once implanted, Hashirama's cells will be completely devoured by them within minutes.
But there are no solutions.
Menma's thoughts were racing in his mind, and he raised the corner of his mouth with an arc while looking at Naruto outside.
"call!"
I saw Naruto dragging his extremely heavy body. Even though his breathing had become extremely rapid, he still kept rising and falling, insisting on doing push-ups.
"It's a great improvement."
Menma said: "Naruto, I have prepared your birthday gift. When do you want to get it?"
"Ah? Of course the sooner the better!"
Naruto was stunned when he heard this. After he reacted, his expression suddenly became excited and his body became stronger.
I have been waiting for this gift for a long time, but I didn’t know what it would be!
Is it some advanced ninjutsu?
Just like the time and space ninjutsu that "swishes, swishes, swishes" that Mr. Fox said?
"Don't worry, the old man is still watching to see if you go to school. I will take you there after school today."
Upon hearing this, Naruto's face suddenly dropped.
He raised his eyelids slightly and glanced vaguely at the top of his head, his eyes full of complaints.
