Naruto: I, Naruto, don't want to try anymore.

Chapter 24 Teaching

"Listen carefully, chakra generally refers to the product of the mixture and refinement of physical and mental energy produced by 130 trillion cells in the human body."

"Before it is refined, this power is what we often call physical strength, or energy."

"In other words, having plenty of physical strength means having plenty of chakra, while when you are physically weak and mentally exhausted, the amount of chakra you can refine will naturally be reduced."

Lazy people all share a common trait: exceptional execution ability.

Only by finishing the work at hand can one better slack off and be lazy.

Therefore, Naruto did not hesitate to grant Koyuki's request to learn ninjutsu.

Around noon, Feng Hua Xiaoxue had just woken up when he dragged her out of bed.

"So, the better your physical strength, the more chakra you have?"

"Not necessarily. It also depends on your chakra control talent. Those with higher talent will naturally have better refining effects, but that's not something you need to worry about right now."

Right there in the open space outside the city where the barbecue was held last night, Naruto sat on a fallen tree trunk, his hands clasped together under his chin.

"For you right now, the most important thing is to successfully refine your chakra, and the time spent in this process will also reflect your ninja talent to some extent."

Fuuka Koyuki asked curiously, "Naruto, how long did it take you back then?"

I don't want to undermine your confidence.

Naruto chuckled: "People are used to calling those whose talent and abilities far surpass those of ordinary people geniuses..."

"So you mean you're a genius?"

Koyuki pouted. Although Naruto was probably right based on what the three Konoha ninjas at the izakaya had said, she still couldn't help feeling a little unconvinced.

"What I mean is, genius... is merely the threshold to my understanding."

Naruto shook his head slightly: "In ninja terminology, 'chakra' is usually used to refer to the amount of chakra, which is calculated from 1 to 10. A standard Jonin has about 6 to 8 chakra, and I personally like to call this range 'one ka'."

"And what about you?"

"By traditional standards, it's undoubtedly 10 points."

Naruto Versailles spread his hands: "If we have to quantify it, it should be at least one hundred calories."

In the anime, Kakashi says that Naruto's chakra would be 100 times greater if he didn't suppress the Nine-Tails. This is a translation error. The correct translation is that if Yamato hadn't suppressed the Nine-Tails' chakra, it would have been 100 times greater than his.

Of course, he was just trying to make himself look good.

Leaving aside the Nine-Tails, in the original work, Prince Naruto's Spiral Multi-Rinse involves dozens of Rasengans. Judging from Kakashi's defeat after two Chidori attacks, Prince Naruto must have at least a dozen, if not a hundred.

Needless to say, the Nine-Tails would go berserk if Naruto said that out loud, and would storm back to Konoha overnight to tear down the gates...

However, Kakashi can't be blamed for this, since he's never seen a tailed beast before.

He was supposed to meet the Three-Tails, but he talked too much and said some heartfelt things to Rin, which prevented the Three-Tails from appearing.

Based on Naruto's own perception, the so-called one hundred times should only be a very conservative estimate.

After all, Kakashi himself does not possess sensory abilities, and the amount of chakra the original prince possessed was indeed not particularly exaggerated.

Both being reincarnations of Ashura, Prince Naruto, even with half of the Nine-Tails, barely caught up with Hashirama.

Now that Naruto has inherited the Asura Sage Body and has the Nine-Tails helping him exploit bugs, his chakra reserves will only be even more terrifying.

When Hashirama is resurrected by Edo Tensei one day, he can laugh and say: "This amount of chakra is already a third of mine!"

"Since you've chosen to be honest about your identity, then I have nothing to hide from you."

Naruto gently patted his stomach: "I once sealed within me a being that could easily destroy the Land of Fire. To seal such a being, one must first possess an excessive amount of chakra."

"That's why those Konoha ninjas are so eager to find me."

"It was once sealed..."

Feng Hua Xiaoxue looked puzzled: "So, it's no longer there?"

Naruto shook his head slightly: "No, the seal has been broken now."

"..."

Feng Hua Xiao Xue remained silent.

Although she didn't know much about ninjas, she was aware of the power gap between the Land of Fire and the Land of Snow.

The Land of Fire is widely recognized as the most powerful nation in the ninja world, and the power to easily destroy such a nation...

No wonder this guy is so calm no matter what, he doesn't seem nervous at all...

It turns out he wasn't the one who should be nervous at all!

"Is...is this real?"

The wind, flowers, and light snow still seem a bit unbelievable.

"I hope you don't take it seriously."

Naruto had no intention of proving himself: "It's better to take revenge myself."

Upon hearing this, Feng Hua Xiaoxue finally snapped out of her shock.

"You're right!"

The girl gently patted her cheeks, and her gaze became firm again.

"I should avenge my father with my own hands!"

"Great, that's very energetic!"

Naruto clapped his hands, then held up one finger: "One week! I'll give you one week. If you can refine chakra within that time, I guarantee you, at most two years, you will be able to take revenge yourself."

"But, if not..."

Naruto raised his eyelids slightly and said calmly, "As a friend, I will help you avenge yourself, but your ninjutsu training ends here, and don't even think about the throne. After experiencing a coup, I think you should know very well what the ultimate fate of power without the backing of strength is, right?"

In the original series, Kazahana Koyuki eventually inherited the throne, but Naruto didn't think it was a good ending.

What can a queen who has no confidants and is powerless do?

What's the use of this throne?

To add some spice to the relationship?

It's completely useless!

Fuuka Koyuki nodded emphatically, understanding Naruto's meaning: "I'll do my best! Please train me as much as you like!"

That sounds weird...

Naruto nodded slightly: "Remember this, the key to refining chakra is to focus, but not to be too impatient. You need to maintain a calm mind and active body..."

Kazeka Koyuki nodded repeatedly, firmly remembering the key points Naruto had mentioned, and then began her training under Naruto's supervision.

Soon, an hour passed quietly.

Naruto lay on the ground, looking up at the sky. Not far away, Fuuka and Koyuki were making loud noises, but their chakra refining was not progressing at all.

Then, another hour passed.

Naruto, who was dozing off under the shade of a tree, suddenly raised his eyelids and glanced in the direction of Fuuka Koyuki.

Has the chakra been successfully activated?

She's quite fast, but unfortunately, this girl doesn't seem to have much chakra.

Of course, Naruto wasn't disappointed. After all, he came from an ordinary background, and his physical abilities couldn't compare to those of ninjas. Even Might Guy, with his level of training, almost didn't make it into the Ninja Academy...

It's already quite good that they were able to extract it, and in terms of speed, this is a very high starting point, much earlier than he expected.

If all goes well, it should be extracted by tonight.

I never expected him to be a genius!

Queen, star, ninja...

Hmm, the identity buffs are quite numerous...

(PS: My writing style leans towards slice-of-life, but of course it won't all be slice-of-life. Yesterday, a reader said that the last few chapters were a bit boring, so I'm asking for everyone's opinion here so I can control the pacing of the plot.)

Also, the storyline of Kazeka Koyuki has ended. Readers who found it boring don't need to worry, there's going to be more action soon. Why not guess who the next girl will be?
