Naruto: The Tavern Speech Begins to Make the Land of Rain Great

Inside Yamada Tavern,

"Lord Watanabe, when will you be giving your next lecture?"

Mr. Yamada bowed obsequiously, his face contorted into a smile.

Watanabe Toru took a sip of tea, a smile on his face that was never off-putting, and said calmly.

"We'll see."

Watanabe's ambiguous attitude did not change Yamada's mind. Instead, he took out a set of keys from his pocket and handed them to Watanabe.

"Lord Watanabe, it must have been hard for you to come all this way. This is a house not far from my tavern. I'll entrust it to you for safekeeping."

Yamada chuckled and continued.

"That way it will be more convenient for you to give a speech at the pub next time."

Watanabe Tetsu smiled, thinking to himself that Yamada was a cunning old fox.

You accepted the benefits, but you also incurred a favor, letting the other party get on board.

But he didn't refuse.

At this critical juncture, the more friends you have, the better.

"Then I'll accept it."

Watanabe Toru accepted the key.

not to mention...

Watanabe Toru thought of three small figures.

This house might be able to accommodate the three of them.

The ensuing conversation consisted of meaningless pleasantries.

It's nothing more than Yamada praising Watanabe Tetsuya from all sides, saying that he is a top talent and will one day achieve great things.

Don't forget about Yamada and the like when the time comes.

Watanabe Tetsu also said that he would take good care of Yamada's bar business, and that he would definitely consider Yamada if there were any projects in the future.

As for what the project is?

That's too many...

Water conservancy development in the Land of Rain? Chain pubs, fast food restaurants, agricultural parks…

Or go to the Land of Fire and open a casino, specifically targeting one person's money to make money.

After saying goodbye to the enthusiastic Yamada, Watanabe Tetsu discovered that Yahiko and Konan had already returned home.

But it's alright, meeting so early might not necessarily have a positive effect.

He knew that his speech today would have an indelible impact on the two children.

It's a good thing to let them go back and reflect.

Perhaps... we might even catch a fish along the way?

Watanabe Tetsu looked at the large house not far away.

This is the house that Mr. Yamada gave him.

It was said that I was entrusting it to him for safekeeping, but in reality, it was no different from giving it away.

The house was very new, which allowed Watanabe Toru to move in immediately.

Once inside the room, I realized...

Yamada is very thoughtful; he provided all the furniture.

Watanabe Toru plopped down on the large sofa, relaxing his tired body.

But he didn't sit idle; he casually checked his own panel.

Toru Watanabe

Age: 21

Overall Strength: Chunin

[Bloodline Limit: None]

[Secret Technique: None]

[Specialization: Proficient-level Water Release Chakra Nature Transformation, Proficient-level Water Release Chakra Form Transformation]

[Skills: Water Instantaneous Movement Technique, Water Dragon Bullet, Water Clone Technique, Instantaneous Movement Technique, Clone Technique...]

Don't be fooled by this shabby panel; Watanabe Tetsu saved up for a long time to get it!

You should know that when he first transmigrated, there wasn't even a chakra refining system.

During the month and a half that he gave speeches, he continuously used faith points to purchase ninjutsu.

Ultimately, he was able to evolve from a defenseless commoner into a Chunin.

This is already a huge improvement.

But Watanabe Toru opened the panel not to admire it, but rather...

[System version upgraded to 2.0, character ability extraction module unlocked]

Gaining the trust and faith of a main character will allow you to extract some of their abilities.

[Unlocked Characters: Konan, Yahiko]

[Should I draw character ability (2)?]

"open!"

With a shout of "Open!", two dazzling lights appeared before our eyes.

A purple light arrived first.

[Mastery of Water Release Chakra Nature Transformation]

[Source: Yahiko]

The other beam of light was blue.

Paper Shuriken

[Source: Xiao Nan]

Not bad.

A smile appeared on Watanabe Tetsu's lips.

This reward was something he truly hadn't expected.

His mastery of Water Release chakra nature transformation greatly enhances the power of his Water Release ninjutsu.

The paper shuriken can also be used as a surprise attack.

When there are no extra shuriken, one can secretly produce a piece of paper and infuse it with chakra.

Then...

Sneak attack!

An enemy without information is likely to fall into a trap.

Watanabe Toru raised his hand, and with a thought, a drop of water condensed in his palm.

Compared to the previous skill-level water-style chakra nature transformation, the condensation speed this time has increased from two seconds to one second.

Don't underestimate a second; a second can make or break the difference between instantaneous action and the need for preparation.

It's fair to say that gathering a single drop of water was an easy task for Watanabe Toru.

Watanabe Toru stared intently at the single drop of water.

What exactly is the water element?

Is it two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom bonded together?

Why can chakra turn into water?

Watanabe Toru closed his eyes and recalled the definition of chakra.

Chakra is a product of the balanced mixing of physical and spiritual energy.

The principle of Water Release is to materialize chakra into water and then release it.

So, why can chakra materialize as water?

This is something that Watanabe Tetsu has always struggled to understand.

Chakra seems to be a universal medium that can be transformed into various substances.

Like... a currency of energy.

Physical and mental energy is transformed into chakra, which then manifests as various substances and states.

It can be a flame in plasma state or water in molecular state.

Therefore, a change in property can be understood as manifesting as a certain substance, while a change in form is manifesting as a certain state.

Taking Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet as an example—

The manifestation of chakra as water molecules is a change in nature, while its manifestation as a dragon is a change in form.

So...

Watanabe Toru recalled a ninjutsu from Naruto—

Rain Tiger's Freedom Technique.

By creating rainwater and infusing it with chakra, they can achieve large-scale surveillance.

Watanabe Tetsu had been craving this ninjutsu for a long time.

With its improved properties, it undoubtedly finds it easier to produce rainwater.

Now is undoubtedly a good time to learn this ninjutsu.

Watanabe Toru had a thought, and the system shop opened.

[System Shop]

[Faith Points Balance: 21235]

[Rain Tiger's Freedom Technique: 20000 Faith Points]

[Whether to purchase]

Buy!

Watanabe Tetsu gritted his teeth. He was definitely reluctant to squander all the faith points he had accumulated over the years.

But the ninjutsu from the system shop can be mastered immediately after purchase, which is just too good to pass up.

Moreover, the Rain Tiger Free Technique is itself a large-scale sensory ninjutsu.

This is extremely rare in the entire ninja world.

Of course, there was another major reason why Watanabe Toru bought this ninjutsu—

Large-scale combat.

Indeed, the Rain Tiger Freedom Technique is very suitable for large-scale battles.

It can keep track of the movements of friendly forces and enemies at all times and make immediate adjustments.

This is an extremely powerful feature in large-scale warfare.

Watanabe Toru took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the door.

Watanabe Tetsu gradually mobilized his chakra, which surged out from his body.

The twelve earthly branches are: 酉, 子, 丑, 申, 子, 巳.

The smooth hand seals didn't seem like it was the first time using it.

"Rain Tiger Freedom Technique!"

With a low shout, raindrops began to condense in the air.

Then, raindrops slowly fell.

Watanabe Toru closed his eyes, as if he could feel the life in every raindrop.

There is one Chunin and two Genin on the southeast side, one Jonin on the southwest side, and...

Watanabe Toru seems to have a god-like perspective, able to clearly perceive everything within the range of the rain.

Although it's impossible to see every scene like one with superhuman vision,

But being able to sense the chakra of everyone touched by the raindrops is useful enough.

Feeling that most of his chakra had been depleted, Watanabe Toru stopped the Rain Tiger Free Technique.

Although the Rain Tiger Free Technique consumes a great deal of chakra, with this ability, Watanabe Toru could truly say that he is capable of...

The entire sealing squad, move five meters to the left!

but...

Watanabe Tetsu recalled the three powerful chakra signals he had sensed in the northeast corner earlier.

A smile curved his lips.

The three from Konoha are coming soon.
