Old Master, have you ever been beaten by a Pokémon?

Sakura angrily threw a punch, knocking Naruto to the ground, then leaned over and held his head, forcing him to apologize to Liu Tianci: "You idiot, how can you be so rude to your senior? He is our leader now, you have to respect him!"

Hinata watched this scene from the side and couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle. Although Yu Liu, who was dressed as a boy, also wanted to laugh, she forced herself to hold back her smile and tried to keep a serious expression.

Seeing this, Liu Tianci smiled and waved his hand, signaling everyone not to worry: "Okay, okay, let's go." Then, he led Naruto, Sakura, Hinata Hyuga, Uncle Shennong and his apprentice Yu Liu who was dressed as a man, and the group set off in a mighty manner, embarking on the journey to Shennong and Yu Liu's hometown.

While crossing a river during his journey, Naruto encountered a sudden crisis and was bitten by a poisonous piranha lurking in the river. In a panic, he accidentally pushed Yu Liu into the turbulent river. Seeing this, Liu Tianci jumped into the water without hesitation and quickly rescued Yu Liu.

However, Yu Liu's wet clothes unexpectedly revealed her long-hidden secret - it turned out that she was a woman who had been dressed as a man before. At this moment, she no longer concealed it and faced everyone with her true identity.

Yu Liu is a kind-hearted girl. Seeing Naruto injured, she even wanted to imitate the ancient method and suck out the venom with her mouth. But Liu Tianci knew that doing so was not only dangerous, but also might put Yu Liu in danger, so he quickly stopped her.

He then used his water and wood energy to gently but effectively draw the poison out of Naruto's body, relieving him of his pain.

Seeing this scene, Liu Tianci couldn't help but feel a little helpless towards Naruto. This "bad thief" Naruto not only had Sakura, his secret crush, by his side, but also Hinata, the girl who secretly loved him.

Liu Tianci secretly made up his mind to protect every member of the team and not let Naruto harm other innocent girls again.

When the group arrived at Shennong's hometown, they were shocked to find that this peaceful village had also been invaded by the air ninjas. In the chaos, Shennong was seriously injured and died in order to save his apprentice Yu Liu.

On his deathbed, Shennong acknowledged Yu Liu as his apprentice and taught her some precious medical skills, which showed his deep recognition and expectation for her.

Naruto witnessed all this. He looked at Yu Liu and said with a hint of concern: "…You haven't told him yet? Do you want to tell him about your feelings and emotions?"

Tears sparkled in Yu Liu's eyes, and she nodded gently: "Well, this is the first time I have been praised, the first time I have received such sincere praise, and the first time someone told me how to do it."

Naruto listened quietly, and was also moved in his heart: "So that's how it is."

Yu Liu took a deep breath, as if to pour out all her emotions: “This is the first time… I started to care about whether I am beautiful or not, and care about what he thinks of me.

Teacher, his image occupied my entire mind. For the first time, I longed to be liked and admired by others. I... I have always... The person I like most is you, teacher. "

However, Liu Tianci noticed something was wrong. He noticed that although Shennong was seriously injured, his face was unusually calm, as if there was no sign of death.

He was suspicious and thought there must be something fishy going on. So he decided to wait and see what Shennong was up to.

Afterwards, everyone devoted themselves to the task of finding survivors. In the ruins, Naruto accidentally discovered a mysterious object that resembled a prehistoric site.

Just as they were exploring curiously, a hideous masked snake monster suddenly appeared. It possessed Shennong's female disciple and launched a fierce attack.

In this sudden attack, Sakura was unfortunately knocked unconscious, and Naruto witnessed Sasuke being severely injured by the snake monster. Anger and determination instantly surged in his heart, and Naruto resolutely transformed into a half-tailed beast, showing his amazing power.

However, facing the powerful snake monster, Naruto's strength alone seemed to be unmatched. At the critical moment, Liu Tianci arrived in time to rescue him, and Naruto was able to recover from the Nine-Tails state because of the amulet with a seal given by Jiraiya.

After a fierce battle, the basilisk finally disappeared without a trace because the girl woke up. However, in this chaos, Sakura failed to see Sasuke from beginning to end.

Her heart was filled with worry and loss, but she knew that now was not the time to be depressed, she had to be strong and move on with everyone.

Afterwards, the earth suddenly underwent an astonishing change. The original ruins seemed to be endowed with magical power. They rose up in an instant and turned into a towering city in the sky, floating above the endless sky.

Liu Tianci made a prompt decision and led Naruto and Yu Liu to the headquarters of the Sky Ninja. However, Sakura and Hinata were forced to stay on the ground for various reasons. They looked up, their hearts full of worry and anxiety.

At the Sky Ninja headquarters, everyone discovered an astonishing fact - Shennong, the powerful man who was once thought to have passed away, was resurrected! He stood in front of everyone with a deep gaze, as if he could see into people's hearts. Shennong began to explain the mystery of dark chakra, which is a powerful and mysterious force that can give people extraordinary abilities.

As he finished speaking, his body began to change. A deep and dark aura burst out from his body, and his body gradually twisted and deformed, eventually transforming into a hideous-looking man. This scene shocked and disturbed everyone present.

It turns out that Shennong performed a forbidden technique called "Flesh Regeneration". This forbidden technique is based on the activation and regeneration of the flesh, and incorporates the dark chakra of Zero Tail to create a power beyond imagination. Through this technique, the cells in Shennong's body can be reversed, achieving instant rejuvenation, as if time has gone back.

The miraculous thing is that under the influence of this power, the damage to the body can not only be restored, but also transformed into regenerative enhancement, allowing the caster to obtain an unprecedented ultimate body.

What's even more shocking is that this power can even allow him to completely open the eight gates of the Eight Gates of the Ninjutsu and reach a state of near immortality.

However, Shennong was not satisfied with his own strength, and he began to attack Yu Liu with words. Those words were like sharp blades, piercing Yu Liu's heart again and again.

In the endless pain and despair, Yu Liu finally regained consciousness from the blow. She mustered up the courage to express her feelings to Shen Nong, but was coldly rejected by Shen Nong.
