Naruto: Can't learn ninjutsu? I'll just practice immortality!

"When you reach the stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation, you won't have to worry about food." Asakawa Naoki comforted himself in his heart.

In the first stage of cultivation, you need to eat more, extract essence from food, and then refine it into mana.

In the second stage, Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation, you don't need to seek from within, but seek from outside, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from the outside world to refine it into mana.

According to the description in the basic Qi Refining Art, when you break through to the second stage, you will have very little demand for food. When you practice to perfection, you can even practice fasting, that is, eat the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and no longer need to eat ordinary food to maintain your life.

"However, there seems to be something in the ninja world that can replace food." Asakawa Naoki had a flash of inspiration in his mind.

"Bingliang Pill!"

In the early days of Naruto, Bingliang Pill can be said to be a very important prop, which can not only restore the ninja's chakra, but also temporarily increase the chakra limit.

Inuzuka Kiba ate Bingliang Pill with Akamaru to defeat Naruto; Yakushi Kabuto also ate Bingliang Pill to defeat Tsunade to improve his combat power.

In the later period of Naruto, perhaps because of some bugs in the Soldier Pill, it almost never appeared again.

But this is the real ninja world, and Soldier Pill does exist.

However, the Soldier Pill in this world does not have such an amazing effect, and it is impossible to increase the upper limit of chakra.

As for restoring the chakra of ninjas, it can only be said that there is an effect, but not much.

Because Soldier Pill is actually a kind of food similar to compressed biscuits, which is small in size, high in energy, and easy to absorb. In the previous life of the Celestial Empire, it is a carbon bomb.

So the effect of Soldier Pill in restoring the ninja chakra, in the final analysis, is actually the physical strength restored after the ninja eats food.

This recovery is very slow, just like eating. Even because it tastes bad, ninjas are generally unwilling to eat Soldier Pill if they can eat.

But in this world still in the midst of war and strife, compressed food such as Soldier Pill is indispensable, because sometimes the war is urgent and there is no time to eat, and eating two Soldier Pills is just enough to fill the stomach.

Before lighting the Fire of Essence, Asakawa Naoki had never thought of using Bingliang Pills.

Because his speed of tempering his spirit was limited, he only needed to eat a little more for three meals to meet the needs of a day's practice.

But now it is different. After lighting the Fire of Essence, his body is constantly practicing, and he cannot eat often during the mission. Bingliang Pills are not only easy to carry, but also contain a lot of energy.

Thinking of this, Asakawa Naoki looked at the two people sitting opposite him who were learning ninjutsu.

"Rope Tree, Masamura, do you have Bingliang Pills?" Asakawa Naoki asked casually. It would be better if he had them, but it would be okay if he didn't. He would definitely have some for sale at the front line.

"I don't have any." Masamura Oki shook his head and said.

"What do you want this for?" Nawaki asked curiously, taking out a pack of pills from his clothes and handing it to Asakawa Naoki, and then said:

"This is what my sister prepared for me. Although it is very resistant to hunger, it tastes terrible. No one will eat this if there is dry food."

"Thank you, I just want to try the taste of the Bingliang Pill." Asakawa Naoki took out a Bingliang Pill.

The Bingliang Pill in his hand is about the same size as the marbles that Asakawa Naoki played with when he was a child in his previous life. There are dozens of them in a pack. From the outside, it looks black and tastes strange. I don't know what it is made of.

For the time being, I can't see what it is, so Asakawa Naoki ate one first.

The taste can be said to have no taste at all, a little hard, and it tastes weird, like many kinds of delicious food mixed together, but in the end it becomes very unpalatable.

Just like bananas are delicious, red dates are also delicious, but when the two are mixed together, there will be a rancid smell.

With this taste, it's no wonder that ninjas are reluctant to eat Bingliang Pills unless they have to.

However, Asakawa Naoki didn't care much about the taste. He chewed it twice and swallowed it directly, and drank a few sips of water.

The Bingliang Pill went into his stomach and quickly filled Asakawa Naoki's hunger.

"It's quite resistant to hunger." Asakawa Naoki felt it, and the energy of a Bingliang Pill after digestion was close to that of a bowl of ramen. No wonder many ninjas can eat two pills in one meal without eating.

"If you like it, I'll give it to you." Rope Tree said indifferently, and then he thought of something and reminded:

"By the way, my sister told me that you can't eat too much of this thing."

"Generally speaking, you can only eat two pills in one meal. If you eat too much, your body will not be able to bear it."

"I know, I will pay you back with the mission reward when I get to the front line." Asakawa Naoki said.

Although Rope Tree didn't care about this little money, he couldn't help but care.

It's a pity that his savings have been almost eaten up, but there is still some reward for this mission. If the reward is not enough, he can onlySlowly return it.

"I've already said you don't have to be polite." Rope Tree said helplessly.

During the daytime of the first day, the caravan was relatively safe because it was close to Konoha. Almost no one dared to attack the caravan openly within Konoha.

"It's getting late. Let's rest here tonight."

The head of the Chamber of Commerce found a flat ground as a place to set up camp. After feeding the horses, several members of the Chamber of Commerce also began to set up tents under his command.

In fact, according to what Asakawa Naoki and his friends learned in the Ninja School, the location of the camp should be a higher place with a better view.

But now the head of the caravan despised them and did not discuss with them when choosing the location. After thinking for a while, Asakawa Naoki and his friends finally did not object.

When the caravan set up tents, Asakawa Naoki and his nine people were half responsible for vigilance and half for camping.

After lighting the bonfire and eating dry food, the caravan members went into the tents to sleep, but Asakawa Naoki and his friends could not rest so early.

"Let's keep watch separately at night." Asakawa Naoki suggested.

"Agree," Namikaze Minato said, "We have three teams. How about taking turns to keep watch every night?"

"Agree." Uchiha Mikoto nodded.

Although the three teams did not have an obvious captain, after the bell-grabbing test, Asakawa Naoki, Namikaze Minato and Uchiha Mikoto had become the leaders of the teams. No one else objected to the plan agreed by the three of them.

"Then let our team be responsible for keeping watch today." Asakawa Naoki said:

"Then let our team keep watch tomorrow." Namikaze Minato said.

"The day after tomorrow, we will take care of it." Uchiha Mikoto agreed.

"Then you should go and rest first." Asakawa Naoki said, then looked at Nawaki and Masamura Oki, and then said:

"I will keep watch in the first half of the night tonight. The second half is more difficult to keep watch, so I will leave it to you two to keep watch together."

"Got it!" Nawaki and Masamura Oki said in unison.

However, seeing how excited Naoki was, Asakawa Naoki doubted whether he could fall asleep in the first half of the night.
