Woodleaf Village was the largest village in the Country of Fire. It was densely populated, and the streets were bustling during the day.
The village was filled with all kinds of buildings. They gathered together and looked very lively.
However, very few commoners knew that there were many rooms and buildings under their houses, or more accurately, deep underground.
Only a few people in the entire Ninja Realm knew about those underground buildings.
At this moment, in the hall of the underground building, there was a person sitting alone on the high platform in the center, looking down at the people below the steps.
There was no doubt that he was the leader and possessed supreme prestige.
"Recently, there has been a nine-tailed aura emitting from the village. It seems that the little guy is no longer suitable to be a pillar of strength.”The leader spoke in a deep tone," We have to speed up the plan to control Nine-tails!”
"In a few days, send someone into the Ninja Academy to participate in the next Genin group!”
"Understood!"
Someone below replied respectfully.
Outside of Woodleaf Village was a vast forest that stretched as far as the eye could see.
At this moment, in the depths of the forest, there was a young man running back and forth, working hard to cultivate.
"After meditating and cultivating for the past few days, my spiritual energy has increased quite a bit. What I lack now is physical energy.”The young man was none other than Naruto Uzumaki. He had been training his physical strength for a very long time, and his entire body was soaked in sweat.
"Huff huff!" After another kick, the huge tree in front of him actually let out a cracking sound and finally collapsed.
"This tree is only as thick as two people hugging it. It took me half a day to break it with just my physical strength…It seems that he's still far from it!"
After breaking the giant tree in front of him, Naruto stopped and rested for a while. At the same time, he secretly communicated with the system in his heart.
After this period of interaction, he was able to communicate with the system at any time. When he encountered something difficult to understand during cultivation, he would ask the latter.
"Is this so-called weight-bearing cultivation really useful?”Naruto asked the system, his eyes looking at the bandages on his arms. The bandages contained more than 100 pounds of weight.
Then, he lowered his head and looked at his legs. There were also bandages and heavy objects tied to them.
"It's too cumbersome to cultivate with these things!”He frowned and complained.
"The weight on your body is still considered light.”The System responded in his mind," According to my calculations, you need to carry a weight of more than a thousand pounds for the second stage of physical cultivation.”
"A thousand jin? How could he carry that kind of weight?!”Naruto knew that although he could still move with more than 400 pounds on him, he would find it difficult to move if he added even a few dozen pounds.
Because the weight he was carrying now was his limit, and the consequences of exceeding his limit were often terrible.
"My calculations aren't wrong. With your physique, you should be able to carry more than a thousand pounds of weight if you continue to train.”the system answered with certainty.
Although Naruto felt helpless, he didn't have any doubts.
The system's words had long been proven to be correct. Otherwise, Naruto would not have been able to successfully control the power of the Nine-Tails.
"Hu! I'm almost done resting. Yes, I'll continue practicing!”
Naruto took a deep breath and walked toward another giant tree in the distance with a determined gaze.
After half a day of cultivation, Naruto finally stopped when the sky turned dark.
After resting for a while, he began to meditate and cultivate his spiritual energy. At the same time, he tried to further control the power of the nine tails.
Now, he only had control of the first tail. There was still a long way to go.
The night sky was filled with stars. It was a moonless night.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
About a thousand meters away from Naruto, there was a figure shuttling through the forest. At the same time, the distant Kiyoha Village suddenly became alert.
"Humph! You found out so quickly?" The figure stood still and snorted coldly in Mu Ye's direction.
If Naruto was here, he would definitely be able to recognize this person as Shui Mu.
At this moment, Mizuki was carrying a huge scroll on his back and a little girl on his waist.
The girl's mouth was simply sealed, but she could not struggle out of Shui Mu's palm.
"I have to speed up. I originally calculated that Mu Ye and the others would only discover it after an hour…This is going to be troublesome." Shui Mu turned around and fled in a different direction. He did not look too flustered." Fortunately, we caught this girl from the Hinata family. Even if we were caught, we could use her to save our lives."”
"It was just a kidnapping, but I didn't expect it to save my life. Haha!”
Shui Mu was a little proud of himself. He walked quickly, wanting to get to the meeting place as soon as possible.
After running for about a thousand meters, he suddenly sensed that there seemed to be someone in front of him. He couldn't help but slow down and quietly approach.
"Eh? It's that nine-tailed little ghost." Shuimu saw Naruto meditating in the distance and his eyes flashed with confusion." Why is he here?”
"Humph! However, it just so happens that I also want to settle the score with you!”Shui Mu sneered. He recalled his conversation with Naruto a few days ago and was still angry." How dare you talk back to me, you little brat. You won't even know how you died this time."”
He reached his right hand behind his back and took out a handful of Kunai. A sharp light flashed in front of Hatata's eyes.
"Oh?" Hinata followed Mizuki's gaze and saw the youth sitting cross-legged in the middle of the field not far away. His iconic yellow hair was particularly eye-catching.
Shui Mu was extremely cautious, or rather, vicious. Even though his opponent was a teenager, he was still carefully prepared to attack from behind in order to kill him in one blow.
He secretly gathered his strength, his right hand holding Kunai tightly, his legs slowly squatting down, his entire body accumulating explosive strength.
When this explosive power reached its peak, he exerted strength in his legs and in the next moment, he could burst out with extreme speed. He rushed to Naruto's back with lightning speed and stabbed Kuna into his heart.
However, just as he was about to jump up, he was suddenly hugged by someone. His body's momentum was interrupted, and his plan of a sneak attack was completely foiled.
"You!" Shuimu turned his head and saw Hatata hugging his right leg tightly. He was instantly enraged.
"Get lost!" He raised his hand and swung it, throwing out Kunai. At the same time, he kicked with his right leg.
"Woo!"
Hatata spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string.
At this moment, Naruto, who was meditating not far away, opened his eyes.
