Chapter 31 - Testing Defense

Naruto and Hinata spent a long time together.

They cooked together, ate together, and chatted together until the sun began to set, when Naruto walked her home.

Back in his house, Naruto sat cross-legged, checking the experience points he had gained today.

"A total of 200 experience points. I've absorbed Sasuke and Sakura's experience. Kakashi will be done tomorrow. Looks like I need to find new targets."

Naruto frowned, pondering who his next target should be.

"Kurenai Yuhi, Asuma, and Might Guy's classes are worth a try. Their experience points might not be as high as Sasuke's, but they shouldn't be underestimated."

"Then there are Anko Mitarashi, Uzuki Yugao, and Hayate Gekko. Oh, and the Sannin. Their experience points would definitely be high. Too bad they're not in Konoha. Don't worry, they'll be back eventually."

Naruto analyzed silently, selecting his future goals one by one before beginning to exchange for Saiyan blood.

[Ding! 200 experience points consumed. Successfully exchanged for 20 drops of Saiyan blood.]

A surging warmth flowed through his body, and even greater power surged within him. Naruto's hair darkened slightly, and the aura around him became more substantial.

"I'm getting stronger and stronger. These weighted training clothes feel like thin clothes now, hardly any weight at all."

Naruto frowned. He'd only been wearing the weighted training clothes for a day, but he hadn't expected them to become ineffective so quickly. This made him feel frustrated.

"I'll have to find a way to get heavier weighted training clothes later. Let's check my personal data first." Naruto said, opening his data panel.

Ding! Naruto: Mixed-blood Saiyan Bloodline: 14% Abilities: Ki Blast, Kamehameha, Multiple Shadow Clone Technique Experience Points: 3

"Saiyan bloodline at 14% already! Getting closer to 50%... I'm really looking forward to seeing myself at 50%. Time to train."

Naruto flipped through the scroll of ninjutsu, but he couldn't find any techniques related to gravity. He figured Hinata hadn't gathered any yet.

Thinking for a moment, Naruto created a few shadow clones and had them practice the ninjutsu. He, himself, began to focus on physical training.

He was already too lazy to train in ninjutsu. Having shadow clones do it was enough. After all, a Saiyan's physical strength was the foundation of everything.

He'd pretty much mastered things like tree-climbing and water-walking, as well as Chakra nature transformation, back in the Ninja Academy. He could leave the rest to the shadow clones.

Now, he was more inclined to improve his physique. As long as his body was strong enough, any attack would be a joke to him.

He'd even already thought it through: he'd train his body at night and go out to earn experience points during the day. This training method would definitely allow his strength to rapidly increase.

"That's the plan!"

Having made his decision, Naruto began his physical training inside the house.

He first used a finger to support his body and practiced handstands. Finding it too easy, he then found heavy objects to lift and continue training, but still didn't find the training difficult.

"If there was a Gravity Chamber, that would be great. What a pity, what a pity."

Naruto felt a little regretful, but then he remembered Hinata was helping him find gravity-related ninjutsu, so he wasn't regretful anymore. Instead, he plunged back into the training of his physique.

This training lasted for a whole night.

Early morning, the sun was bright, the birds were singing, and the flowers were fragrant.

Naruto took a cold shower, shirtless at the breakfast table, while feeling the even stronger power contained within his physique.

I wonder what level I'm at now? I remember that in Dragon Ball, Goku wasn't afraid of bullets when he was a child. How old was he then? 11 or 12?

Naruto couldn't quite remember, but it definitely took Goku a long time to get to Earth from space. The two of them were probably only a year or two apart in age.

"He wasn't afraid of bullets back then. What about me? How good is my defense now? My bloodline is still weak, but if it's the Broly bloodline, the boost should be huge."

Naruto muttered to himself, taking a kunai from his tool bag and looking at his wrist.

"Let's try it."

Naruto held the kunai and scratched his arm, then examined the result.

"No effect? Not bad, not bad. Let's add more force."

Naruto's eyes lit up slightly as he looked at his wrist, which didn't even have a scratch.

Then, he held the kunai and scratched his hand again, using significantly more force this time.

Screech!

A feeling of toughness, like a blade scraping against thick leather, surged through Naruto's senses. He looked at his unscathed left hand, at his wrist that didn't even register pain, and felt increasingly aware of the uniqueness of his bloodline.

"Let's try again, see what kind of defense I can achieve."

Naruto kept applying pressure, dragging the kunai back and forth across his wrist, even increasing the force he used.

Crack!

The kunai snapped. Naruto looked at his uninjured left hand, a joyful smile spreading across his face.

"I really didn't expect the bloodline enhancement to be this significant, and I've only had this bloodline for a few days?"

Naruto was now itching for a fight, eager to see just how strong he had become.

But considering the experience points, he decided to wait. Fighting could happen anytime, but experience points waited for no one, especially since the world had already changed.

If the plot is gone, how do the plot characters recover experience points? If the plot characters die, then the experience points are completely gone. Does Impure World Reincarnation exist?

Naruto was curious, but he decided to quickly raise his bloodline to 50%, at which point he would be invincible.

Naruto thought silently, quickly finished his breakfast, and began to put on his weighted gear because someone was coming.

"Naruto, are you up? Kakashi-sensei said he's teaching us important combat skills today."

A girl's voice came from outside, that familiar loud voice, who else could it be but Sakura?

"I know."

Naruto replied, then put on his new clothes, and after tidying up, he walked out the door.

"Huh? Naruto, that outfit suits you. It looks good on you."

Sakura, who had been waiting outside, was a little surprised when she saw Naruto.

She found that Naruto looked much more pleasing to the eye. She couldn't quite pinpoint what it was, but she figured it was just that his clothes matched well.

"Let's go," Naruto said, not bothering to respond to her as he headed towards the edge of the village.

"Hey, wait a minute. You don't even know where the teachers are. Why are you in such a hurry?" Sakura grumbled.

"That's not a problem. Don't forget my sensory abilities," Naruto replied.

"I know you can sense things, but the teachers are far away. Do you really know where they are? Is your sensing range that big?" Sakura asked doubtfully.

"Outside the village, by the river to the northwest," Naruto said casually.

"Huh? You actually know?"

Sakura was stunned when she heard this. She hadn't expected Naruto's sensory abilities to be so extensive; it even made her envious.

"Not bad, Naruto. Your sensory range is so wide. How did you do it? Can you teach me?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Because you're too dumb."

"Naruto!!"
