Sunset in the west.

Another day has passed.

Naruto finished the last strengthening training and did some arm stretching exercises with a happy smile on his face.

After a year of training, he no longer felt sore all over his body after one day's training.

Sure enough, you can see it if you try hard.

"Naruto, starting from 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.

After hearing this, Naruto's eyes lit up and he asked excitedly: "System, I...can I finally get into contact with that kind of horizontal training method?"

"No,"

Naruto's eyes darkened.

Just listen to the system say again:

"Although after a year of physical training, your body is no longer as weak as it was a year ago, it is still weak and you still cannot practice that domineering horizontal training method."

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

"Be patient, Naruto, you are now in the most important stage of laying the foundation. As a so-called tall building rises from the ground, building the foundation is particularly critical. Once the foundation is solid, you will get twice the result with half the effort by practicing the horizontal training method in the future."

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

As for the specific content of the second level, the system did not make it clear.

But Naruto listened to the always kind and kind system. When he talked about the second level, there was a hint of happiness in his tone.

Naruto always felt a little shuddering.

However, for the sake of my friends, I, Naruto, will accept everything!

The next day, the biological clock woke up Naruto. Naruto washed up quickly, had breakfast, followed the system's instructions, took all the money at home, and went to the street.

A year later, Naruto came to the street again.

However, this time, Naruto did not wear a mask.

"Isn't this the little nine-tailed fox? He hasn't been seen 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 eaten it secretly."

"Stealing food? When you said stealing food, I thought of it. Keiko next door said that her chickens always disappeared inexplicably. I guess they were stolen and eaten by the nine-tailed devil?"

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

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

Although Naruto had expected this to happen before he went out, once it actually happened and he was immersed in it, Naruto still felt very uncomfortable.

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

But he finally let out a breath and said nothing and walked silently.

The system felt Naruto's sadness and comforted him: "Calm down, Naruto, you have to think about it, these people will eventually become your friends!"

Listening to the system's sinister consolation, Naruto gathered strength in his heart, clenched his fists heavily, and nodded in his heart: "System, you are right, I can't be angry with my friends."

Relieving his emotions, Naruto asked in his mind: "System, what on earth do you want me to do with so much money?"

Speaking of this, Naruto felt a little heartbroken. After all, he was frugal and had saved such a small amount of money for five or six years. Now, is he about to leave me?

"Let's go buy medicine."

"Buying medicine? What are you buying medicine for? I'm not injured?" Naruto was puzzled.

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

"Am I injured?" Naruto was even more confused. How could I be injured when I was so good? Who hit me?

He looked around at the people who hated him and thought to himself, these people will only attack me verbally, and no real physical attacks have ever happened.

As for hitting himself, Naruto thought about it, but quickly gave up on this ridiculous idea.

Hit yourself?

I'm not stupid!

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

Naruto looked at the prescription. He recognized the names of some herbs, but he didn't know what the names of the herbs meant when combined.

Taking the prescription, Naruto walked into a drug store.

The owner of the drug store is a middle-aged man with a beard and a fierce look. At this time, he is sitting on a chair behind the bar, slapping flies boredly.

"Boss, I want to buy medicine."

"Okay, guest, you want to buy..." The guest came, and the middle-aged uncle quickly stood up to greet him. But halfway through the greeting, the middle-aged uncle saw the face of the man who came to buy medicine. He immediately changed his words:

"I'm sorry, I don't have the medicine you want to buy."

This attitude made Naruto feel aggrieved. Didn't he say that customers are God?!

"Boss, 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: "I said no, no, go, go, don't stop me from doing business." He drove Naruto away like the god of plague.

Isn’t it myrrh?

It's because I am Uzumaki Naruto!

Naruto, knowing full well, left the drug store.

After that, Naruto visited several drug stores, but no one was willing to sell medicine to Naruto.

After finding nothing, Naruto returned home dejectedly. He apologized to the system and said, "I'm sorry, I'm so useless. I can't do such a simple thing well."

"No, Naruto, you have done a good job. You see, when the first drug store rejected you, you did not give up. Instead, you continued to the next drug store. When you were rejected again, you still did not give up.

, visited all the medicine shops in Konoha."

"Naruto, it can be seen from this incident that you have grown a lot. You would have given up before. Now, Naruto, you are a man of great perseverance."

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

"Of course, you are the most powerful person in the future. You are a big shot who can suppress even the Hokage with your backhand!"

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

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

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

At this moment, a book fell into Naruto's arms.

The book cover is exquisite.

Naruto picked it up and took a look. It was a "Compendium of Materia Medica" published by the People's Posts and Telecommunications Press in 2016. The author was Li Shizhen.

"Compendium of Materia Medica?"

"Li Shizhen?"

Naruto has never read this book and does not know who Li Shizhen is.

"Li Shizhen, that is a great person!"

The system said.

"Is a great person as great as Hokage?" For Naruto, the greatest person he knew was undoubtedly the Hokage of all generations.
