Natsuki dared to adjust the gravity to ten times because he had some confidence, but it would take a long time to adapt, and even after adapting, he would be far from Son Goku because he couldn't destroy planets.
It's still because the combat power in this world isn't high, and that's not Natsuki's fault.
Furthermore, Natsuki didn't dare to recklessly open the Seventh Gate in the short term.
"It's fine even without opening the Seventh Gate. I'll first use the techniques of the Sixth Gate's Morning Peacock as a reference to develop some other moves, and also adapt to the rhythm of long-term combat while the Sixth Gate is open."
The Morning Peacock move is very strong, but it's not necessarily applicable at all times, so there's a need to develop other moves. Even if the development isn't successful, it can be considered adaptation training, so there's no loss no matter how you look at it.
In addition, the Akatsuki, Uchiha Madara, and those guys are very strong and not easily defeated, so preparations for long-term combat are necessary.
And the Eight Gates is just a temporary burst of power. Once you can't hold on, you'll fall into a passive state. It's best to adapt to fighting in the Eight Gates state for a long time, striving to last longer.
After making his plan, Natsuki lay down leisurely.
For the past few years, he had basically been thinking about getting stronger all the time and had never truly relaxed.
Oh, that's not entirely true. He also felt very relaxed when he was with Tenten. Compared to the loneliness and overthinking when he was alone, it was indeed happier to have someone accompany him.
Natsuki was very fortunate to have pursued Tenten, allowing him to find a home in this world.
Tenten is really a very good girl. Being cute and pretty is secondary; her personality is gentle and considerate, and she occasionally makes jokes and teases, so he never feels bad when he's with her.
Natsuki truly liked her and was determined to protect her.
"Team Guy has been formed for a month now, it's probably time for an out-of-village mission, isn't it? I should prepare more things for our Duola A Tian."
Thinking this, Natsuki fell asleep.
But early the next morning, someone actually came knocking, making it impossible for Natsuki to sleep. He knew it wasn't Tenten because Tenten had a key, and it wouldn't be Shino because Shino would send his bugs in.
"Who is it, so early in the morning!"
Natsuki opened the door with messy hair and saw the little blond kid standing eagerly in front of him.
For a moment, he was utterly speechless: "Naruto, what do you want from me so early in the morning?
I was just dreaming about marrying Tenten and having kids, and you ruined it!"
Naruto said anxiously, "Natsuki, Natsuki, I've gone a month without playing cards, isn't it time you gave me Lord Third's character card?"
Oh, so it was about that. Natsuki had completely forgotten about it.
But that's no reason for you, you little blond kid, to knock on my door so early in the morning!
Natsuki went back inside with a dark face, got the huoying ka (hokage card), came out, threw it to Naruto, and waved him away: "Alright, alright, here's the huoying ka (hokage card) for you. I still need to catch up on sleep, go play by yourself!"
Naruto left happily, but Natsuki was no longer sleepy at all.
He decided not to sleep anymore and instead prepared some things needed for camping outdoors, such as a flashlight, flint, raincoat, dried meat, hot sauce, and so on. Anyway, he took out everything he could think of.
When Tenten arrived, she saw Natsuki organizing these messy things and immediately felt confused: "Natsuki, what are you doing?"
Natsuki quickly pulled her over, pointed at the pile of things, and said, "Your team has been formed for a month now, right? I figured you should be going on out-of-village missions soon, so I wanted to prepare some more things you'll need for camping in the wild. See what you need, or just take everything; anyway, your scrolls can hold anything."
"Now that you mention it, it does seem like we'll be leaving the Village soon."
Tenten didn't refuse. She directly took out a scroll and started putting things away, "Then I'll take everything. After all, we don't know what situations we'll encounter, and we're not sure which things will be useful."
After putting away the things, the two of them instinctively looked at each other, then hugged.
Mmm, today's kiss tasted like meat buns.
Afterwards, the two separated with slightly swollen lips. Natsuki went to school, while Tenten went to the Hokage Building.
However, to Tenten's surprise, they really did receive a C-rank mission to suppress bandits outside the Village today. For a moment, she couldn't help but marvel at her boyfriend's foresight.
Although they had half an hour to go home and prepare after receiving the mission, preparing in advance was better than being in a rush.
Tenten also went home, prepared some more things, then informed her father, and asked her father to remember to inform Natsuki, and then rushed towards the Village gate.
Just as Natsuki arrived at the classroom, he saw Naruto sitting in his seat with a dejected look on his face.
"What's wrong with him?" Natsuki suppressed a laugh, actually having already guessed.
"Don't you know?"
Shino's tone remained unchanged, "Naruto came early this morning, showing off the huoying ka (hokage card) he had in his hand. He didn't expect the other classmates to also take out their huoying ka (hokage card)s, and there were even other new character cards. Only then did he learn that the Ninja Tools shop had updated the character cards yesterday, and everyone had already lined up to buy them. He was just showing off to no one."
Speaking of this, Shino almost couldn't help but laugh.
Naruto had been enduring not playing cards for Natsuki's Hokage Card, even covering his ears when others talked about cards, just afraid he couldn't resist. As a result, he also missed the news of the character card update.
Furthermore, to completely cure Naruto's game addiction, and also for fun, his friends consciously kept it a secret.
This led to today's farce.
How to put it, looking at Naruto's current state is quite pitiful, but it's his own fault. Who told him he could get addicted to playing cards? It wouldn't do if he wasn't properly treated.
"Natsuki, how could you do this!"
Naruto walked over with a mournful tone, "The character cards were updated, why didn't you say anything?"
Natsuki looked innocent: "I said it a month ago. I said at the time that Lord Hokage allowed me to sell Hokage character cards, and that I would announce updated card characters after a while. See, didn't I say it very clearly? You only remembered the Hokage Card and didn't pay attention to what I said at all!"
Naruto was speechless but still felt wronged.
After all, he had been looking forward to it, and then waited until today to show off his unique Hokage Card, wanting everyone to gather around him. As a result, he ended up making a fool of himself.
He really wanted to cry, didn't he!
"Alright, alright, you have to think about the good side, at least you didn't spend any money!" Natsuki could only comfort him like this.
"It's true that this Hokage Card doesn't cost money, but other character cards have also been updated. Everyone is playing with new cards, and my old deck is embarrassing to use!"
The Ninja Slayer card game is actually quite expensive. At least for a poor guy like Naruto, he had to grit his teeth and decide to go hungry to buy it.
Although Shikamaru, Choji, and the others definitely have new cards, it's not difficult for Naruto to play cards. But Naruto prefers to take out his own cards and invite others to play together. This is a matter of face.
For example, if he were to ask someone: "Classmate, do you want to play the card game?"
And the classmate says: "Do you have cards?"
Just this one sentence is enough to make Naruto depressed for half a day. This is the feeling of losing face.
