Practicing Naruto

Chapter 3 Naruto and "Compendium of Materia Medica"

Sunset West Mountain.

Another day has passed.

After Naruto finished the last strengthening training, he did lower arm stretching exercises, with a happy smile on his face.

After a year of training, he no longer feels sore all over his body after the first day of training.

Sure enough, try to see.

"Naruto, starting tomorrow morning, you don't need to do this kind of physical training anymore." At this time, the voice of the system sounded in Naruto's mind.

Hearing this, Naruto's eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly: "System, I... can I finally get in touch with that kind of horizontal practice method?"

"Do not,"

Naruto's eyes dimmed.

Just listen to the system say again:

"Although after a year of physical training, your body is not as weak as it was a year ago, but it is still weak, and you still can't practice that overbearing horizontal training method."

"If you practice forcefully, you might die from a burst of blood."

"Be patient, Naruto, you are now at the most important stage of laying the foundation. The so-called high-rise building is built on the ground, and foundation building is especially critical. Once the foundation is solid, if you practice horizontal practice in the future, you will get twice the result with half the effort."

Then, the system explained to Naruto that physical training is only the first level of foundation building, and the following is the second level of transition.

As for the specific content of the second level, the system did not say clearly.

But Naruto listened to the always honest and kind system, when he said the second level, there was a hint of happiness in his tone.

Naruto always felt a little shuddering.

However, for my friend, I, Naruto, will accept everything!
The next day, the biological clock woke up Naruto, and Naruto washed up at a very fast speed, then had breakfast, obeyed the system's instructions and brought all the money at home, and then went to the street.

After a year, Naruto came to the streets again.

However, this time, Naruto didn't wear a mask.

"Isn't this the nine-tailed fox kid? I haven't seen him for a year, where did he hide?"

"He must have done something bad. Look at him, a six-year-old child has grown so tall. He must have stolen it."

"Stealing? I thought of it as soon as you said stealing. Keiko next door said that her chickens always disappear inexplicably. I guess they were stolen by the nine-tailed ghost?"

"Hahahaha, the nine-tailed fox eats chicken, this is an eternal truth."

Sure enough, once people don't like a person, even if he does nothing, the whole body is wrong.

Although Naruto had expected this to happen before going out, once it actually happened, Naruto would still feel very uncomfortable when he was personally on the scene.

He clenched his fists in resentment, wanting to shout loudly to those who spoke maliciously about him: "I didn't do anything, I'm not a bad boy!"

But he finally let out a sigh of relief, and still walked silently without saying anything.

The system felt Naruto's sadness, and comforted him: "Calm down, Naruto, think about it, these people, they will all be your friends in the end!"

Hearing the system's sullen comfort, Naruto mustered his strength, clenched his fists heavily, and nodded in his heart: "System, you're right, I can't be angry with my friends."

To ease his emotions, Naruto asked in his heart: "System, what are you asking me to bring out with so much money?"

Speaking of this, Naruto felt a bit of heartache, after all, it was because he saved so little money for five or six years, and now, is he about to leave me?

"Let's go buy medicine."

"Buy medicine? Why buy medicine, and I'm not injured?" Naruto was puzzled.

"It will be soon." There was a hint of excitement in the system's steady voice.

"I was hurt?" Naruto was even more puzzled, how could I get hurt when I was doing well, who hit me?

He looked around at the people who hated him, and thought, these people would only attack me verbally, but the actual physical attack has never happened.

As for hitting himself, Naruto thought about it, but quickly dismissed this ridiculous idea.

Beat yourself up?
I'm not stupid!

"Naruto, take all the medicines on this list." A prescription suddenly appeared in Naruto's hand.

Naruto looked at the prescription, it was the names of some herbal medicines, he could recognize all the characters, but he didn't know the meaning of the combined herbal medicine names.

Holding the prescription, Naruto walked into a pharmacy.

The owner of the pharmacy was a middle-aged man with a beard and a ferocious look. At this moment, he was sitting on a chair behind the bar, fanning flies boredly.

"Boss, I want to buy medicine."

"Okay, customer, you want to buy..." The customer came, and the middle-aged uncle hurriedly stood up to greet him, but halfway through the greeting, the middle-aged uncle saw the face of the person who came to buy the medicine, and he immediately changed his words:
"Sorry, I don't have the medicine you want to buy here."

This kind of attitude makes Naruto feel very wronged. Doesn’t it mean that the customer is God? !

"Boss, but you haven't read the prescription yet, how do you know there is no medicine?" Naruto raised his head and asked stubbornly.

The middle-aged uncle waved his hand and said impatiently: "If you say no, you won't. Go, go, don't stop me from doing business." He drove Naruto away like a plague god.

Isn't there no medicine?
It's because I'm Uzumaki Naruto!

Knowing well, Naruto left the pharmacy.

After that, Naruto went to several drugstores, but no one was willing to sell medicine to Naruto.

Naruto returned home dejectedly, and said to the system apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm really useless. I can't do such a simple thing well."

"No, Naruto, you have done a good job. You see, when the first pharmacy rejected you, you didn't give up, but went on to the next pharmacy, and you were rejected again, you still didn't give up , visited all the pharmacies in Konoha."

"Naruto, it can be seen from this incident that you have grown a lot. Before that, you must have given up! Now, Naruto, you are a person with great perseverance."

Hearing the system's generous praise, Naruto blushed and scratched his head in embarrassment, "Am I really, really that good?"

"Of course, you are the future master of horizontal training, and you are a big shot who can suppress even Hokage!"

"But I didn't get the medicine..." Thinking of this, Naruto still couldn't help feeling a little frustrated.

"Don't be discouraged, Naruto, we can't buy it, we can pick it ourselves." The system said.

"That's right!" Naruto's eyes lit up, why didn't he think of this method, but I don't know herbs, how can I pick them?

Just then, a book fell into Naruto's arms.

The book cover is exquisite.

But it is a "Compendium of Materia Medica" published by People's Posts and Telecommunications Publishing House in 2016. The author is Li Shizhen.

Naruto picked it up and saw that there were Chinese characters on it that he didn't know.

"System, what is written here?"

The system gives him the role of translator.

"Compendium of Materia Medica?"

"Li Shizhen?"

Naruto murmured, it turned out to be a medical book, it just happened to be useful for his training, otherwise the system would not teach him to read and recognize characters.
