Indeed, it didn't take long for an ANBU to come to Naoki and order him to report to the office. However, it wasn't that Naoki had lost his trust, but that the old man had only formally warned him that he had violated his prohibition, so as not to tarnish his reputation.
After all, the Third was raising Naoki to be the successor to the Hokage position, and he broke the ban and contacted the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki without permission, which would have led to criticism from other powerful people in the village. The Third did not want the talent he had placed his hopes on to be buried like that.
. . . . .
Time passed by and it was time for a new lottery.
Late at night, Naoki sat in his apartment, looking at the bottle of green liquid he had just won in the lottery, with a happy smile on his lips.
This bottle of green liquid is called "Elixir of Life" and has an extremely powerful effect. It is able to replenish vitality and harden the body!
Needless to say about body hardening, like the strange fruit he got in the first lottery, the liquid is designed to harden the body and can comprehensively improve various physical characteristics of a person. As for replenishing vitality, this is what Naoki was most pleased about.
He was seriously injured during the war, and almost died. Tsunade later arrived to heal him, but it also drained a lot of his and Tsunade's life force, most of all his own. The loss of life force was extremely high, he lost most of his original life force.
In other words, if the problem with her is not resolved, Naoki will definitely not live long in the future, and his strength will quickly decline with age.
Naoki had always been worried about this: he wanted to become a jonin at any cost, just to awaken the system and solve this problem later. And this time, in the lottery, he finally got what he wanted most.
Without any hesitation, Naoki opened his mouth and poured the entire bottle into his mouth. In an instant, the elixir turned into a strange power and began to flow through Naoki's limbs and bones. The lost life force was indeed restored at a terrifying speed, and in an instant, he was completely cured. Not only that, with the explosion of life force, all the hidden injuries and illnesses he had accumulated over the years were healed and disappeared.
This is more effective than the most powerful medical equipment in the world!
It was as if he had been completely reborn!
Naoki had never felt so comfortable as he did now. The feeling lasted for about half an hour before it finally disappeared.
At this time, Naoki not only regained his vitality and all his hidden injuries disappeared, but his body was also hardened. His physical parameters doubled again! And it's not just pure physical strength, but also chakra, reaction, etc., everything was doubled!
This upgrade is definitely better than the first fruit!
If the latter turned him from an ordinary jonin into an elite one, then this improvement can already be considered a pseudo-kage level.
"Not bad, not bad. This way, even if I use Rasenshuriken again, I won't have to worry about running out of chakra. I'll even be able to use it twice!" Naoki thought to himself, "More importantly, thanks to training, I'll be able to get stronger now!"
Although the system is incredible and he can constantly benefit from it, in the end it is random. If he is lucky, he can reach heaven in one step and become immortal or a god. But if he is unlucky, he can spin this roulette for the next eternity and still get nothing.
Of course, he wants to remain a normal jonin and continue to be content with what he has, but that doesn't mean he doesn't want to improve his strength, because only by becoming strong enough will he be able to protect himself in the future.
In the past, most of his training problems were due to a lack of vitality, so he did not put all his efforts into training. Now that the biggest problem has been solved, he will naturally have to actively take up training again.
"My life force has increased significantly now. It is probably much stronger than that of ordinary people now. Although it cannot be compared to the Sage's Body, it is definitely close!"
. . . . .
The next day, Naoki woke up in a great mood, when he was immediately given a message that he was being called back for a new mission. There was no way to avoid it, missions were a shinobi's job. In short, Naoki had no reason to refuse.
But this time, the task he received concerned the Hidden Cloud Village.
This is not an easy task!
The mission is positioned as rank A+
