This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 272 Chanel Wants to Take a Shortcut

"Brother Che! Help!"

Kana Uzumaki raised her head, her chubby little face filled with grievance, her big eyes blinking, and she even squeezed out two tears.

"Kana?"

Nishikawa Tetsu reluctantly pulled his leg out and handed her a tissue.

"What are you doing at the construction site? It's dusty everywhere, and your new clothes are all dirty. And... what are you up to now?"

"So what if my clothes are dirty! This is a matter of life and death!"

Kana plopped down on the chair next to her, grabbed another bottle of cola from Nishikawa Tetsu's table, and gulped it down.

"Hiccup~" This is a normal physiological reaction when you're feeling fast.

"Brother Che, please give me some ideas! Does your research institute have any super powerful scientific ninja tools that can send enemies flying in a flash, or conjure hundreds of clones in an instant? I need one!"

As she spoke, Chanel gestured wildly, as if she could already see herself dominating the exam hall with high-tech weapons.

"Scientific ninja tools?"

Nishikawa Tetsu raised an eyebrow, looking suspiciously at this lazy girl who usually couldn't even be bothered to throw away kunai.

"What do you need that for? Are you planning to rob a dumpling shop?"

“That’s not the case!”

With a bitter face, Kana recounted the whole story, from Kushina's unauthorized registration of her for the Chunin Exams to Tsunade's attempt to entice her with 100,000 ryo of pocket money, to her pouring out all the details.

"...That's how it is."

As Chanel spoke, she became increasingly aggrieved, her eyes welling up with tears.

"Brother Che, do you think I'm pathetic? I just graduated! I haven't even done many missions, and they actually want me to fight with people from other villages."

"Those guys around my age are fine, but those bearded uncles and tall aunties look really tough. How could I possibly beat them!"

"I don't care! You have to give me a cheat code! I want a super weapon that lets me win with just one press of a button, without needing hand seals or chakra!"

"Oh, so it's for the Chunin Exams."

After listening, Nishikawa Tetsu nodded in sudden understanding, then leaned back in his chair with a playful smile.

"But, Kana..."

Nishikawa Tetsu drew out his words, his tone tinged with schadenfreude.

"Don't you know that the first special rule of this joint Chunin Exams is: to ensure fairness among candidates from all countries, the use of any highly lethal or auxiliary scientific ninja tools is strictly prohibited during the exams?"

"Why?!!"

Kana's eyes widened instantly, and she froze in her chair as if struck by lightning.

"No...it can't be used?!"

"Of course not." Nishikawa Tetsu shrugged. "These are rules jointly established by the five major ninja villages. Apart from traditional ninja tools such as kunai, shuriken, and explosive tags, other scientific ninja tools such as electromagnetic guns, electromagnetic cannons, or even advanced windproof goggles are not allowed in the examination room. Violators will be disqualified from the competition."

"How could this be..."

Xiang Nai seemed to hear the sound of the 100,000 taels of pocket money growing wings and flying away. Her whole body instantly slumped down, like a cabbage that had lost its water.

"Then...what should I do? I'm really going to get beaten to death!"

Kana was so anxious that she jumped up and down, grabbing Nishikawa Tetsu's sleeve and shaking it desperately.

"Brother Che! You're so smart, you must have a way, right? Is there any secret technique that can instantly make someone stronger? Or a dumpling that can make your chakra surge when you eat it?"

Seeing Kana's desperate attempt to find a cure, Nishikawa Tetsu stroked his chin, his eyes becoming deep.

"As for ways to instantly become stronger... well, there are ways."

"Really?!" Kana instantly perked up, her eyes sparkling with hope.

"certainly."

Nishikawa Tetsu pointed in the direction of the research institute.

"Orochimaru's enhancement potion, once drunk, will not only increase your chakra levels, but also strengthen your body and improve your resistance to attacks."

"Wow! That's amazing?!" Chanel exclaimed excitedly, her mouth practically watering. "I want ten bottles!"

"but……"

Nishikawa Tetsu suddenly changed the subject, his tone becoming wistful.

"The potion was a strange fluorescent green color and it was bubbling with black bubbles."

"The taste... is probably like squeezing rotten eggs and canned rotten herring that have been sitting for a month into juice, mixed with sewer sludge."

"More importantly, after drinking it, your tongue will turn purple, and for the next three days, every breath you take will smell like a dead rat."

"How about it? Want to try it? I can give you a bottle for free."

"..."

Chanel's smile froze completely.

She imagined the scene, and then thought of Orochimaru's pale, cold face, and her stomach churned.

"vomit--"

Chanel covered her mouth, her face turning pale as she retreated repeatedly.

"No...no! I'd rather die than drink that stuff! I'd rather be beaten into a pulp than become a monster that smells like rotten eggs!"

"Then there's nothing we can do."

Nishikawa Tetsu helplessly shrugged and earnestly advised:

"Kana, there are no shortcuts on the path of a ninja. Even if you use scientific ninja tools, you still need to lay a solid foundation."

"Instead of thinking about these crooked ways, we should take advantage of this last month or so and honestly go to the training ground to train with Kushina and Lady Tsunade."

The enhancement drug he mentioned was different from the cell-activating drug he had previously injected. Cell-activating drugs require the recipient to have a corresponding physical capacity to withstand them. Xiang Nai is still young, and even as a member of the Uzumaki clan, her physical condition wouldn't be able to withstand it.

Moreover, cell-activating agents need to be injected regularly, and Nishikawa Tetsu hasn't had one in a long time, partly because he finds it troublesome, and partly because he doesn't need it anymore.

"But...training is so tiring." Kana said with a pained expression. "I think I'll go find someone else. Maybe Uncle Jiraiya or Uncle Sakumo has some quick-learning swordsmanship or ninjutsu..."

I strongly advise you not to.

Nishikawa Tetsu grabbed Kana, who was about to slip away, and his expression became extremely serious, even threatening.

"Think about it, you're a direct disciple of Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin, and Kushina, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!"

"You know better than I what kind of temper these two have, right?"

Nishikawa Tetsu leaned close to Kana's ear and said in a sinister tone:

"If you dare to secretly ask someone else how to become stronger behind their backs... if they find out you look down on the ninjutsu they taught you and go learn someone else's..."

"Think about it, could you withstand either Tsunade's monstrous strength or Kushina's Adamantine Sealing Technique?"

"hiss--"

Chanel gasped, the image of those two women wreaking havoc flashing through her mind, sending shivers down her spine and making her shake her head violently.

"I'm not looking anymore! Absolutely not looking anymore!"

Chanel looked dejected, having completely resigned herself to her fate.

"Waaaah... I'll go back to training, okay? Che-gege, please remember to send more medical teams with you during the matches, I'm afraid Jingyin won't be able to heal me alone..."

Watching Kana leave the construction site dejectedly, looking back every few steps, Nishikawa Tetsu finally couldn't help but burst into laughter, clutching his stomach.

"This girl has good talent but insists on being lazy; she's not stupid but insists on taking shortcuts."

"How can I repay Kushina's efforts if I don't push her a little?"
