Naruto : Even the lazy can be strong

Under the Third's slightly disappointed gaze, Naoki left the office...

In the following days, he continued to guide Itachi and taught him many truly practical things. The boy took his training very seriously and grew at an astonishing rate, which made Naoki sigh. Yes, a genius is a genius, he really couldn't compare to such characters.

Itachi's talent is not worse than Kakashi's. He also has the Sharingan, which makes him even stronger. In three short months, Itachi's strength has increased significantly.

Itachi, who had already reached the level of an average chunin before he began training, gained strength comparable to that of an elite chunin under Naoki's guidance. But it's worth remembering that the average ANBU member is only an elite chunin. And Itachi is not even ten years old now.

After three months had passed, Itachi sincerely thanked Naoki and signed up for the Chunin Exams, which were scheduled to begin in a month.

In the past three months, Naoki also drew three lotteries. Unfortunately, this time, it seemed like his luck had run out, and he failed to draw anything useful in the three draws. Two of them were items that did not belong to Naruto's world. An ordinary dagger from another world that was only slightly harder than a normal kunai. Naoki had no use for it, and he planned to give it to someone in the future. He also received a healing pill that seemed to come from a cultivation world. By swallowing it, one could quickly recover from injuries. The effect was comparable to medical ninjutsu. Although it was somewhat useful, it was still not a precious thing.

The third prize was a ninjutsu scroll belonging to the Naruto world, which had the Doton ninjutsu written on it. However, this ninjutsu is somewhat useful. It is called: Doton - Underground Movement. It seems to be only a C rank, but if used correctly, it can serve as a good means of surprise attack or escape.

Although Naoki did not master Doton, he had a system. After he read and understood the contents of the scroll, he loaded them into the system and mastered ninjutsu in an instant.

However, Naoki is a full-fledged Konoha jonin. In addition to the lightning element, his birth attribute, he also practiced the Suiton technique. Thanks to this technique, he can be considered a shinobi who has mastered three elements.

It's just that among these three elements, "Rayton" was his innate attribute, and the learning process was not difficult, but he spent a lot of time on the water element. Water techniques are generally quite popular, they are often used when performing certain missions. It is not uncommon to have to perform missions near the sea, and there Suiton becomes especially useful.

Well, now there is one technique of Doton, with which you can travel underground, and he learned it with the system, and has never even used it. It is impossible to say how effective this technique is.

Fortunately, Naoki now has the cultivation function. In the future, if he obtains more technique scrolls or learns the principles of mastering them from others, he will be able to master them directly. There is no need to go through the tedious training of changing the attribute.

If he masters more and more ninjutsu in the future, he will naturally become a ninja who masters all five attributes, and possibly master attributes such as Yin and Yang.

. . . . . .

Time moves too quickly, and in the blink of an eye another six months flew by.

Itachi had already become a chunin and was actively carrying out increasingly difficult missions.

Naoki continued to lead his lazy, leisurely life as a jonin. Six lottery draws and nothing particularly good. From time to time, he visited Hinata to cheer up the little girl, who after such visits from him glowed all day like a little sun. You could say that nothing much had changed in his life.

In terms of strength, although there was a tiny bit of progress, his potential was exhausted. It was because of the injuries he had received in the past, especially the last one, the most severe one, that most of his life force and potential were used up during the treatment, so his future progress was limited.

Although the lottery is incredible, it depends only on luck...

And if he is unlucky, he will not become stronger.

Fortunately, he was patient and knew how to wait...

However, on the other hand, Esdeath was doing well. She had been absent from Konoha for over half a year. During this time, Naoki occasionally took advantage of opportunities during missions to discreetly exchange messages with Esdeath.

She founded an organization called the Empire, the members of the organization called her nothing less than the Ice Empress, and she had already gained some fame in the ninja world.

Over the past six months, while the Empire was gathering some information for Naoki, it was also constantly looking for talent.

…

Country of Water.

During a terrible snowfall, a woman known to all of us entered the village.

Her figure seemed to float on the snow and ice, her long icy blue hair fluttering in the cold wind. She was dressed in a bright white uniform and a short white skirt, matching the weather. For her, the low temperature around her seemed to be nonexistent, causing people passing by to cast sideways glances at her.

Soon she came to a bridge. At the other end of the bridge, a little girl lay huddled up, almost completely frozen.
