Chapter 60: Kakashi: Can I Just Have One Bite?

Naruto reached into the system space and pulled out a Cosmic Meatball.

Under the influence of the external world's rules, the weight of the meatball caused his hand to suddenly drop, nearly making him faceplant into the dirt.

The ground beneath him even cracked from the sheer weight.

Back in the sealed space, this thing had felt like nothing at all.

But now that he had brought it out, Naruto could finally feel just how heavy the Cosmic Meatball really was.

If it had been Sasuke, that weakling, he would've probably collapsed on the spot.

Naruto's mind began to wander.

With weights like this...

Wouldn't he never need training gear again? He could just carry around Cosmic Meatballs for his workout.

Although, he did wonder if this thing had an expiration date in the outside world.

Naruto casually tossed the meatball to Uzumaki Naruko. If you ignored the cracked ground beneath his feet, it would almost look like an ordinary, glowing green piece of food.

When Naruko caught the meatball, her body sagged under the weight, and her smile immediately vanished.

"Boss..."

"You even mess with your own clones?"

Her tone carried a hint of playful annoyance as she rolled her eyes at him.

The effect was pretty lethal coming from such a beautiful girl.

Seeing her reaction, Naruto quickly turned his gaze to Uzumaki Stark.

"By the way..."

"How can I summon you guys again the next time I use Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu?"

At this point, Naruto had realized...

His shadow clone technique had gone way off course.

Maybe this was just one of the side effects of the jutsu?

Tobirama-sensei, I've got it!

No wonder Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu is labeled a forbidden technique!

Naruto's biggest concern, though, was accidentally summoning another unreliable clone like Vortex Jiggs the next time he used the technique.

So far, Uzumaki Naruko and Uzumaki Stark seemed dependable.

"Just think of us when you cast the jutsu."

"As long as you keep your mind focused and don't let it wander..."

"You won't summon any weird clones."

Naruko explained, lifting the Cosmic Meatball and inspecting it from different angles.

Naruto bit his lip, saying nothing.

So, all those unreliable clones are my own fault?

Naruko's explanation made Naruto a little skeptical. Sure, he'd admit to thinking about Jiggs earlier, but he absolutely refused to admit he had secretly thought about himself in women's clothing.

"Boss, I'm going to eat it."

Naruko said as she popped the entire meatball into her mouth in one go.

In the next second, Naruto noticed her face turning red.

"How is it?!"

"Is this thing safe to eat or not?"

Naruko first shook her twin-tails side to side, then nodded repeatedly, leaving Naruto utterly confused.

What the hell does that even mean?!

"I feel like my strength is increasing..."

Naruko muttered, lightly pounding her fist against her chest. Then, with a strained expression, she added:

"Water..."

"I'm choking... cough cough!"

Naruto slapped a hand over his face and let out a long sigh.

How reckless can you be?!

People in games always chew their food before swallowing! And here you are gulping it down in one bite, no wonder you're choking!

Seeing how much Naruko was struggling, Naruto finally pulled out a bottle of water.

He didn't want the memory of one of his clones choking to death.

However, just as he was about to hand her the water, he heard the sound of a clone bursting.

Ready to curse his clone for choking to death, Naruto paused.

After receiving Naruko's memories, he realized she hadn't choked to death...

She had exploded from being overstuffed by the Cosmic Meatball.

Realizing that bringing out system items and eating them without caution was a bad idea, Naruto summoned several more shadow clones, including Naruko again.

It's worth noting that this time, without any wandering thoughts, the new clones were more... normal.

After that, Naruto laid out a cloth on the ground and began placing various stat-boosting foods, allowing his clones to sample them one by one.

Not far away, the rest of Team 7 watched as Naruto suddenly turned their training ground into a picnic spot, completely baffling them.

Weren't they supposed to be training??

Why did their teammate's activities always look so... weird?

Kakashi, leaning against a tree, twitched his nose, his stomach grumbling in response.

He closed his book and flipped down from the tree, casually telling Sasuke and Sakura,

"You two keep training."

"I'm going to grab a bite to eat."

Meanwhile, on Naruto's side...

After preparing his Death Experience menu for the clones, Naruto walked over to Uzumaki Stark with a wide grin and scratched the back of his head.

He pulled out the oversized iron gate he usually wielded.

"Upgrade my weapon for me!"

Uzumaki Stark glanced at the huge gate in Naruto's hands, a look of exasperation crossing his face.

Boss, can't you ever use a normal weapon?!

Sighing, Stark saw Naruto's eager expression and eventually gave in, taking the iron gate from him.

Sigh...

Without me, this team would fall apart.

"What kind of upgrade are we talking about?"

Naruto's eyes gleamed as he replied with a grin.

"Make it sturdy, able to fly, and let's add 'Undead Slayer' to it."

"Oh, and make sure you write 'Just This, Just This' on the front."

"And if possible, make it play a sound whenever it hits an enemy..."

"Hmm... how about it says 'You're Breaking Down!' every time it makes contact?"

Uzumaki Stark paused for a few seconds before responding, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Boss..."

"Are you sure using a weapon like this won't get you killed?"

The difficulty of crafting it wasn't the issue. But just imagining Naruto wielding this iron gate during a fight with Madara...

Madara would be grinning maniacally, throwing punches, only to see four large characters on the gate—Just This, Just This?

At that point, wouldn't Madara die from sheer rage?

And that wasn't even the worst part.

If Madara went into his red-hot mode, he might even hear the gate taunting him...

You're Breaking Down?

Wow...

The taunt potential was off the charts.

"What's there to worry about?!"

"I'm the guy with the Immortality Totem!"

Naruto said triumphantly, pulling the small golden idol from his pouch as if to prove his point.

Boom—

But when the item materialized, the entire Uzumaki team went silent.

Because...

The Immortality Totem stood a full meter tall.

Naruto stood there with his mouth agape, stammering for a good while, unsure what to say.

Items from the system changed when adapted to this world's rules...

But why was the Immortality Totem so massive?!

Staring at the totem that was nearly as tall as he was, Naruto's mind conjured up an image of him fighting enemies while carrying the thing on his back...

Wouldn't that be a bit too ridiculous?

He could already picture himself outshining even Pain in terms of bizarre appearances.

"Oh! Naruto!"

"These foods look pretty good."

At that moment, Kakashi strolled into Uzumaki Team's food experiment area, casually picking up a multicolored steak.
