Naruto pressed a hand to his forehead, barely suppressing the urge to blast Uzumaki Qiao Feng into oblivion.
After marking out an area on the ground, he began tossing out system's items under the arrangement of Uzumaki Stark.
Kakashi, who was instructing the other two, glanced in Naruto's direction and was so shocked he stopped mid-action.
Those bizarrely dressed shadow clones of Naruto's were making him question reality.
'What is this kid up to now?!'
Why does he always have to come up with something completely outside the box?'
'And seriously…'
'Whose shadow clones even look like this?'
Remembering the clone with a white cloth wrapped around his head, Kakashi could only sigh at how much wilder Naruto's antics had gotten.
Especially the twin-tailed clone...
It left Kakashi utterly frozen.
'Confirmed.'
'Naruto had definitely been sneaking peeks at things he shouldn't have.'
'Otherwise, there was no way he could've conjured up a clone like that.'
"Kakashi-sensei!"
When Sakura saw Kakashi had a perverted look on his face and making strange noises from time to time, her face turned red with anger.
They had just started her Genjutsu training...
And he hadn't even finished explaining half of it before he started grinning in Naruto's direction.
Sakura suddenly felt very tired.
Although it's fun to be with Sasuke, but if she was being honest...
She seriously suspected she was the only sane person on this team.
Following Kakashi's gaze, Sakura's eyes landed on the golden-haired beauty and she instantly turned to stone.
Sasuke, who was busy practicing his Lightning Release, noticed the odd expressions on the two's faces and glanced toward Naruto, then subconsciously said, "So big."
After saying that, he couldn't help but glance at Sakura.
Kakashi nodded in deep agreement.
"True."
"Only men can understand a man's heart."
Sasuke's comment hit like a critical strike, leaving Sakura both speechless and emotionally shattered.
The fragile heart of a young girl had just suffered a devastating blow.
"Wh-what are you two even talking about!?"
"Why the hell would Naruto make such a… such a lewd clone?!"
After witnessing the forbidden love between Haku and Zabuza, Sakura became completely wary of Naruto.
But who could've predicted he'd pull something like this?!
And most importantly…
Sasuke actually spoke just now!
This was something that had never happened before in all the time she'd known Sasuke!
Even though she had caught Sasuke wearing women's clothing before, this did not affect his image in her eyes.
But isn't it a bit too much for Sasuke to look at Naruto's clone and shout 'So big'??
Sakura looked at the golden-haired girl in the distance and almost burst into tears.
"Sasuke! Kakashi-sensei!"
"Weren't we supposed to be training?!"
The girl's furious shout finally snapped the two men back to reality. Kakashi stroked his chin, still looking somewhat nostalgic, while Sasuke took one last glance before turning back to his Lightning Release training.
He didn't dare keep looking, for fear that he would neglect his training.
It can't be helped…
Who made Naruto's clone so stunning?
Don't be fooled by Sasuke's wooden appearance. He actually understood a thing or two about relationships between men and women.
Of course, he was still clueless a few days ago.
But ever since Naruto gave him the novel, Sasuke's mindset has changed a little bit.
However, Sasuke believes that the most important thing at this stage is to improve his strength so that he can kill that man with his own hands.
Seeing the two men's lingering expressions, Sakura fell into deep self-doubt.
If she weren't so outmatched, she would've already tried to take Naruto down with her.
Now that she thinks about it carefully…
If Naruto really went after Sasuke, she stood absolutely no chance.
'No!'
'Once we return to the village, I must have a good chat with Hinata!'
Since Naruto was a lost cause, Sakura decided to enlist Hinata's help.
'Hinata probably doesn't want the man she likes to be with Sasuke either, right?'
After Kakashi recovered, he taught her how to train Genjutsu, and then asked Sasuke to help Sakura with the tree walking.
As for Kakashi himself...
He climbed back onto a tree branch and pulled out his little book.
He had almost quit, but after catching a glimpse of Naruto's clone, he simply couldn't control his hands anymore.
Leaning against the tree, Kakashi glanced around furtively. After making sure that no one was looking at him, he took out the Icha-Icha Paradise.
As Kakashi took out the book, he felt an inexplicable sense of guilt.
'Sigh…'
'I'll finish reading today and start quitting tomorrow!'
On the other side, with the help of the team's genius, Team Uzumaki had finally crafted the weapon Uzumaki Yasuo wanted.
"Hey, main body, check out how sick my blade is?"
Uzumaki Yasuo grinned and handed the long sword emitting a faint blue light to Naruto.
After weighting it with his hand, Naruto couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "This blade is a peerless weapon..."
"Three feet and seven inches of tempered steel, weighing exactly seven pounds and thirteen ounces."
"Truly, a divine sword!!"
Uzumaki Yasuo: "..."
Uzumaki Naruko: "..."
Uzumaki Stark: "..."
"That's enough, main body!"
"You were just complaining about me, Uzumaki Qiao Feng, but now you're cosplaying as Uzumaki Blowing Snow?"
Uzumaki Qiao Feng couldn't help but complain from the sidelines, and even Uzumaki Stark chimed in.
"Unbelievable."
"Not a single measurement you gave was even close."
"Kid, science demands precision!"
Naruto ignored the two clones, swung the blade a couple of times, then raised it high and examined it closely.
[Blade of the Unsheathed.]
[Attack: 100]
[Sharpness III]
[Durability III]
[Soulbound: Uzumaki Naruto / Uzumaki Yasuo]
[Skills: Way of the Wanderer, Steel Tempest, Wind Wall, Sweeping Blade, Last Breath.]
Naruto was shocked when he saw the stats of this sword.
'The additional attributes are quite satisfactory...'
'But how the hell did these skills get added???'
'Oh no...'
'Uzumaki Yasuo is really going to be the Wind Swordsman of the Shinobi World!'
Naruto casually tossed the sword back to Uzumaki Yasuo, then looked at Uzumaki Stark with a puzzled look, wanting to hear what his clone had to say.
"Nothing too surprising."
"You also know that things in the system will adapt to the rules of this world after they are taken out."
"I just infused some Wind Attribute Chakra during forging… It's perfectly reasonable, right?"
"But... you have to be careful when using these weapons..."
Before Uzumaki Stark could finish, he heard Uzumaki Yasuo screaming beside him.
"Death is like the wind, always by my side!"
In the next moment, Uzumaki Yasuo lowered his body, holding the hilt of the sword with his right hand, first throwing out a small hurricane to blow up Uzumaki Qiao Feng, and then flashed upward after him.
"SORYE GE TON…"
"Uzumaki Yasuo, you bastard!"
"Wait for me to play my BGM if you dare!"
Bang, bang…
The moment the two clones collided in mid-air, they burst into clouds of smoke and vanished.
The newly forged Blade of the Unsheathed also fell to the ground.
Uzumaki Stark pointed at the fallen sword and shrugged.
"See? If your body isn't strong enough to handle these weapons..."
"You end up like them… instantly obliterated."
Naruto was stunned for a moment, feeling a chill running down his spine.
'Fortunately, I did not take out the Sword of the Cosmos to play with it on a whim, otherwise, I would have been torn to pieces by the power of that sword.'
"Can I solve this problem by eating?"
Even as he said it, Naruto felt a little unsure. Back when he was younger, he'd only dared to eat those ridiculously overpowered buff foods inside the sealed space. After all, it was a Creative Mode in there, so he won't die.
But if he wanted to take it out...
He was genuinely afraid of overdosing and exploding like some low-level cultivator swallowing a god-tier pill.
After all, he is just an ordinary Kyubi's Jinchuriki, not a cube-like man who is as powerful as a god...
"Why not try and find out?"
Uzumaki Naruko stretched out her hand in front of him, playfully licking her lips with teary, expectant eyes. She looked like she was begging for food.
Seeing this, Naruto's face instantly turned bright red.
