Naruto the Genius

Chapter 37 Looking for treasure
The ten people saw Naruto dropping so many smoke bombs, not knowing whether Naruto wanted to attack or escape, so they could only strengthen their vigilance and wait for the smoke to dissipate to prevent Naruto from escaping. As the air flowed, the smoke gradually dissipated, but there was no trace of Naruto. The leader said: "Did he escape by earth escape? I didn't expect him to be able to use earth escape. We must not let him escape next time. We finally found the treasure map, but lost it again just after we got it. How can we report it when we go back?"

The female ninja stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, Captain. Even if he has taken the treasure map and cannot open it for a while, we still have a chance to find him and then find a way to take the treasure map back."

Naruto, meanwhile, had returned to the temporary base he had built earlier, holding the box containing the treasure map. When Sagi Mori saw Naruto coming back, he immediately came up to him and asked, "Did you retrieve the treasure map this time, sir?" Naruto took out the treasure box and said, "This is the treasure map you mentioned." Sagi Mori was very excited when he saw the box and said, "Fortunately, my second uncle didn't find it, otherwise my father would have died in vain."

Naruto said: "If we were a little later, they would have taken it away. By the way, how did you know that there was a treasure map in here?"

Lu Sen smiled and said, "Please look, sir," pointing to the treasure box.

Although Naruto knew the treasure box was extraordinary, he had never observed it carefully. It turned out that the words "treasure map" were written directly on the treasure box, followed by the origin of the treasure and the name of the treasure hider. It turned out that this was the treasure left by the former daimyo of the Grass Country. In order to prevent any accidents in the Grass Country in the future and leave some capital for the descendants to make a comeback, these treasures were the wealth accumulated by several generations of daimyo. The treasure map had been kept in the Grass Country without being used until one day when something unexpected happened. I don't know why it was lost outside, no wonder the Grass Ninja asked Iwagakure to help find it.

Lu Sen said: "Father has had this treasure map for a long time and has been studying it alone. However, the box is made of special materials and ordinary people can't open it at all. Father thought of asking a ninja for help, but the ninja also spent a lot of effort at the time and failed to open the box. Father began to discuss with Second Uncle and others, but he didn't expect them to have evil intentions."

Naruto said: "There is no instructions on how to open the box. This method should only be known by the descendants of the daimyo who holds this secret, so we can only force it open. Sagi Mori, you step back first."

Naruto took out the Thunder God Sword and infused it with a large amount of lightning chakra. It was extremely sharp. After the sword pierced the treasure box, it did not split into two halves as expected. Naruto could feel that the chakra on the sword disappeared immediately. The box was absorbing chakra, and the amount absorbed was very large. In Naruto's memory, only Kisame's Samehada had this ability. In addition, there was a mysterious big box in Kizuna Castle that could absorb a large amount of chakra. But this one was obviously not that big box. The shape and size were not similar at all. It was very likely a replica of the Grass Country.

Naruto tried to inject chakra, and sure enough, no matter how much chakra he injected, it could be absorbed. If it was really a replica, besides opening it with the correct method, injecting a large amount of chakra was also a way, but Naruto didn't know how much chakra was needed.

However, this solved a question for Naruto. The ninjas from the Land of Earth were not unwilling to use earth escape techniques to find the box. It is estimated that earth escape techniques would be absorbed by the box as soon as the chakra was injected into the soil, so it was difficult to perform earth escape techniques. It was probably because of this that they basically confirmed that the box was in the garden. No wonder they spent so much effort to dig it out.

However, it was very troublesome for Naruto to find the correct way to open it now. Maybe he would get nothing after searching for several times. It seemed that he could only use this stupid method. Naruto injected a large amount of his chakra into the box. At this time, the box began to light up, but Naruto consumed nearly 80% of his chakra and the box still did not open. Naruto did not dare to consume chakra anymore. If he encountered an emergency, he would be finished. He could only stop and wait for the chakra to recover. On the second day, Naruto began to inject chakra again as soon as his chakra recovered, but the situation was still similar to the first day. Naruto knew that the ten ninjas must be looking for him. Although this temporary base was very hidden, it was not impossible to be found. The longer the time was delayed, the more disadvantageous it would be for him. It would be great if he knew fairy arts. Fairy arts chakra could be obtained from the outside without worrying about consumption. However, it was definitely too late to learn fairy arts now. In this case, he could only ask him for help first. His chakra was said to be inexhaustible.

Naruto closed his eyes and began to feel the Kyuubi inside him, soon entering his consciousness.

"Boy, what trouble are you in? Do you need my strength?" The voice of the Nine-Tailed Fox echoed in Naruto's consciousness.

Naruto said, "I can't help it. I'm in a little trouble. Please lend me your power."

"Okay, since you need it, I'll lend it to you." After the Nine-Tails said this, Naruto clearly felt the power begin to surge.

For some reason, Naruto felt that the Nine-Tails' attitude this time was much better than before. Although it was not friendly, it was at least not bad. Naruto did not have time to think about it. The red chakra of the Nine-Tails continued to flow out from the seal. Naruto immediately guided the chakra into the box. The treasure box received a large amount of chakra injection and became brighter and brighter. With the continuous injection of chakra, the brightness became higher and higher. Even Naruto could not help but sigh that the Nine-Tails' chakra was much stronger than Naruto's own chakra. It could really be called endless. Although Naruto's chakra has not yet grown to its peak, it is estimated that it is difficult to compare with the tailed beasts.

As chakra continued to be injected, the treasure box began to float upwards with bright light, and the surroundings began to shake. Naruto felt a large amount of chakra inside, and was afraid that something unexpected might happen, so he took Lu Sen to the outside of the temporary base, wanting to wait until the reaction was over before going in. With a bang, Naruto's base was directly opened by the powerful chakra, and the treasure box flew out directly from it and floated in the air, emitting a violent light. A violent chakra storm followed, and Lu Sen was unable to stand steadily and fell to the ground, grabbing the big tree next to him to resist the storm. Naruto also had to use chakra to stabilize himself.

After all, it was a replica. After Naruto injected a large amount of chakra, it could not condense into a monster, so after exceeding the limit of endurance, the chakra must be released, but in this way, the treasure box will be opened. This chakra storm had a huge impact on the surrounding area. Nearly one kilometer of trees were blown down, and a large pit appeared in Naruto's temporary base, which also caused severe vibrations.

As the chakra storm ended, Naruto took the box in his hand, opened it and took out the treasure map inside. After so much effort, he finally opened it. Where is the treasure?
