Naruto: If I ask you to practice gentle fist, will you drive a Gundam?

"Naruto! I want you to die now!"

Seeing Jiraiya's serious expression, Naruto became even more confused:

"Dead? What does that mean?"

Jiraiya explained:

"Try to create powerful chakra from the fear of death! Use your body to feel and master it! If you don't want to die, do everything you can to stay alive!"

Jiraiya finished speaking, and before Naruto could figure out the meaning of his words, he stretched out his finger and gently touched Naruto's forehead protector.

In an instant, Naruto's entire body was blown away by a huge force.

"Uhhhhh!"

Naruto screamed and retreated quickly, and soon he was right on top of the cliff. Only then did he understand what Jiraiya meant by "I want him to die".

Naruto's entire body had flown off the cliff, his limbs flapping helplessly up and down, trying to grab something but unable to grab anything, and then he began to fall to the bottom of the cliff.

"Whoaaah!"

Naruto let out a heart-wrenching scream as he fell.

If this scene was seen by someone who didn't know the truth, they would think that Jiraiya and Naruto had some deep hatred and wanted to harm him.

But Neji knew that Jiraiya did this to put Naruto into a huge crisis, so as to stimulate his survival instinct and burst out the Nine-Tails Chakra in his body to save himself.

According to the original plot, Naruto did not disappoint Jiraiya, and finally summoned the toad boss Bunta deep in the cliff.

So, when Ningji saw these things, he just pretended nothing happened and meditated quietly nearby. The natural energy around his body was not affected by Naruto's screams at all, and there was not even the slightest fluctuation.

Neji, who had previously activated the Sage Mode, could only vaguely sense the natural energy, which was far from the standard ratio.

But now, with the toad oil provided by Jiraiya, Neji can clearly sense a powerful external energy.

Different from the physical and spiritual energy that has been deposited in the body for many years, this external energy is very agile and full of vitality.

With every breath I can feel these lives flowing into my body, and not just through my respiratory tract.

Thanks to his mastery of Baguazhang-Kaiten, Neji is able to release chakra through the skin all over his body. Conversely, with just a little adjustment, he can absorb external energy through the skin all over his body.

Ordinary people can usually only extract natural energy through the respiratory tract, so it may take one or two months or even longer to reach a relatively proficient level.

Then, Ningji, who has mastered the art of Kaiten, can absorb external energy through the skin all over his body, so his training speed is naturally incomparable.

Feeling this vigorous energy flowing into his body through his skin meridians, Neci suddenly felt very comfortable, as if all the pores in his body were opened, and the dirt in his body was being emptied bit by bit. His body and nature were merging into one, accelerating his body's metabolism.

At this time, Naruto had fallen deep into the cliff. Although his figure could no longer be seen, his screams were still very loud. Jiraiya, who was standing on the edge of the cliff, looked down and couldn't help sweating.

"Heh, look at that boy Naruto, he's yelling so loudly and he seems to be having a great time!"

Although Jiraiya was looking towards the bottom of the cliff while speaking, he seemed to be talking to Neji.

However, Neji, who was concentrating on refining chakra, did not respond to Jiraiya's words at all.

Not getting an answer from Neci, Jiraiya turned his head curiously, only to see Neci meditating with full concentration. He seemed to be not at all concerned about what happened to Naruto, and was not at all disturbed by Naruto's shouting.

Not only that, Jiraiya discovered that faint facial lines had slowly appeared at the corners of Neji's eyes, which looked like a pair of eye shadows and were very beautiful.

"Oh? You can already make the face appear? You are quite capable."

Previously, I was curious about how Neci activated the Sage Mode, but seeing how quickly Neci mastered the Sage Arts, Jiraiya couldn't help but sigh, is this the learning speed of a genius?

To outsiders, Jiraiya might be a master of ninjutsu or a legendary ninja, but only he himself knows that when he was young, he was just a loser in the class. However, the loser in that era would be one of the best in the school today.

After all, the era of ninjas is declining, and their overall strength is actually declining.

Moreover, even while Naruto was yelling, he was still able to maintain such focused concentration. For a child of this age, this kind of mentality is really amazing.

"Humph, Byakugan boy, don't you worry about Naruto's life or death at all?"

Jiraiya finally couldn't help but ask curiously.

Hearing Jiraiya's question, Neji did not stop refining chakra, but kept his eyes closed and replied calmly:

"Didn't you tell me? No matter what happens, you have to stay focused. And you must have a reason for doing this. Instead of letting your mind wander, you should just do what you are supposed to do."

Neji responded calmly, before returning to his silent state and meditating.

After hearing what Neji said, Jiraiya was speechless. He thought to himself, who is our teacher? Why do you feel like a little kid is calmer and more experienced than me? How can you be so patient?

Jiraiya has seen too many young geniuses like Neji, but generally, children with outstanding talents will be too ostentatious and unable to practice diligently, and instead perform mediocrely when they grow up. This is why some people who are the last ones in their youth have unlimited potential when they grow up.

This was probably the reason why Jiraiya was not optimistic about Neji at the beginning.

But now, seeing that Neji was not only gifted but also humble and able to calmly refine natural energy, Jiraiya was shocked.

At this time, a voice prompt came from Ningci's system:

[Jiraiya's bond value has been detected to increase, currently 10%! ]

Hearing this reminder, Neji suddenly felt panicked.

Neji often saw this favorability system when he played some small games in his previous life. Generally, when the favorability reaches a certain level, you can do certain things.

Upon learning that Jiraiya had increased his bond value, especially in such a deserted setting, Neji wondered if this old pervert would have any thoughts about him.

At this time, the next sentence of the system made Neji feel much more at ease:

[When the bond value reaches 100%, you can invite them to the facility to assist in the work! ]

By the way, the system of favorability and bond value suddenly popped up when the scientific research base was being built. When the favorability reaches a certain level, you can invite them into the facility. To put it simply, you can capture these ninjas to work for you.

Just this moment of distraction caused fluctuations in natural energy, which did not escape Jiraiya's eyes.

"Haha, you may say that but you will still be distracted. After all, he is a child!"

Jiraiya thought to himself that he thought Neji was distracted by the conversation just now.

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the bottom of the cliff!

Neji knew that it was Gamabunta who appeared.
