Naruto: I'm Not a Pokémon

Chapter 214 A real-life version of Minecraft

In a secret space.

Kaito slowly woke up. Although he still felt a little sore, he was obviously much better than before he fell into a coma.

However, Kaito's limbs were still sore and weak at this time, like a salted fish thrown ashore, and every cell in his body was sending out signals of hunger and thirst.

He wanted to take a deep breath, but he didn't even have the strength to breathe, and could only make a hoarse hissing sound.

On the contrary, the mental damage that had previously caused him to pass out had actually recovered a lot.

"Hiss~ Is it such a big side effect to open two acupressures?"

In fact, Kaito had misunderstood. The side effects of Acupressure were only a small part of the reason for his current condition.

The main reason is the depletion of body energy.

Before, when rescuing Ao and the others, Kaito had activated the 'chakra' amplification.

Later, when facing Minato, he continuously activated the enhancements of 'nerve reflexes' and 'physical flexibility'.

Although the following battles with Minato were basically close combat and no high-powered ninjutsu was used, he was seriously injured many times and had to use "Roost" repeatedly to recover from his injuries, desperately squeezing out the chakra and cells in his body, and always maintaining a high level of mental concentration.

The fact that he was able to hold on until the end and actively release the 'Acupressure' before fainting was the result of his high spirits during the battle and forcibly ignoring the negative state of his body.

After taking two breaths, Kaito noticed that it was already late at night in the "secret space", with the moon hanging high in the sky and the stars shining brightly.

"So there is a night in the secret space? It seems like I haven't laid down and looked at the stars in a long time."

"Why does the starry sky look like twinkling Minato!"

Thinking of this, Kaito suddenly laughed out loud. Although this laugh pulled some over-tired muscle, making Kaito feel even more uncomfortable, it still couldn't stop his inner joy.

'Haha, I'm also a strong man who almost killed Minato! Isn't this better than that idiot Obito, who had a skill like Kamui but was hit in the back by Minato?'

In fact, although Kaito was too close to Minato at the beginning, he couldn't escape.

But after the first round of fighting, when he almost succeeded in injuring Minato with a sneak attack, Kaito was somewhat inflated and wanted to see if he could find an opportunity to really kill this bastard who had been disgusting him.

Otherwise, if Kaito really relied on his speed to increase the distance quickly and then took the opportunity to form a seal with one hand, he could have retreated to the 'secret space' earlier.

It was not until the very end, when Kaito almost killed Minato, that he felt relieved and began to think about escaping.

"I'm still a little disappointed, but after delaying for so long and injuring Minato, at least Ao-sensei and Kono and the others should have successfully retreated, right?"

Just when Kaito was still daydreaming, Blue's head suddenly popped out from above his head.

"Quack~Σ(Q.Q)"

Seeing Blue's anxious look, who was about to cry, Kaito smiled and comforted him weakly.

"Ahem. I'm fine. I just feel a little weak. I can't move for the time being."

Kaito had just finished speaking when his stomach made a rumbling sound.

"Uh, besides feeling exhausted, I feel a little hungry."

Kaito doesn't know if it was a psychological effect, but he only felt physically weak before, but when the voice reminded him, he immediately felt extremely hungry as if he hadn't eaten for a day and a night.

"Blue, go get me something to eat. Forget it, just bring some Military Ration Pills."

Since the secret space was opened, Kaito has been busy and has only come in a few times. However, the little frog is very concerned about this place and keeps replenishing supplies in the secret space, so there must be food.

However, Kaito's current condition is probably due to energy deficiency caused by excessive consumption of the body. Maybe it would be easier to absorb if he took the military ration pills directly.

In just a few seconds, Blue returned to Kaito's side in a flash, carrying large and small bags of supplies.

Seeing Kaito's lazy look, the little frog simply picked out a few ordinary military ration pills and some special military ration pills from the ninja tool bag and fed them directly into his mouth.

Kaito felt his strength and chakra recovering a little. Although he was still in a state of weakness, at least he could move his head a little.

"I'd better get some high-calorie, specially formulated military ration pills to restore physical strength. Previously, I only focused on chakra recovery, but the ordinary military ration pills have never been improved."

"Ahem. Blue, give me some water."

With the careful care of Blue, Kaito was finally able to sit up a little with his help, no longer having to lie on the lawn like a salted fish.

However, as soon as Kaito sat up, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

Although Kaito was lying on the lawn in the secret space, a cave made of mud and wood boards had been built in front of him? A mud house?

Even the roof of this mud house is covered with a layer of green grass, which makes it not so out of place with the endless wilderness around it.

What's even more outrageous is that there is a small stream on the side that is diverted from the central river of the secret space, as well as a not-so-small reservoir.

Inside the door of the earthen house, he can vaguely see various sundries and several large wooden boxes piled up.

'What is this? A real-life version of Minecraft?'

'Oh no!'

Kaito looked at Blue, who was standing beside him with a look of "praise me", with astonishment on his face, and asked in a horrified tone.

"How long have I been unconscious???"

Although the little frog felt a little aggrieved that his masterpiece did not receive praise from his owner, he still subconsciously stretched out his hand and pressed a finger down.

'Two hours? Definitely not!'

"I was unconscious for—two! days!!!"

"Quack~┑(￣Д￣)┍"

Blue withdrew his hand and nodded.

After getting a positive answer, Kaito raised his head again speechlessly.

"No wonder I was so hungry, it turns out I haven't eaten for a whole day and a night. No, it's actually two days and two nights!"

"Speaking of which, if I just disappeared for two days, wouldn't Ao-sensei and the others think I'm dead?"

However, Kaito was aware of his current condition. Although the ninjas of Konoha would not wait for him, he was too exhausted to even move his fingers to form seals, let alone go out to report the news.

If he goes out like this, any ordinary wild beast might be able to carry him away.

"I should have brought the summoning scroll on board. This way, at least Blue could have lifted the summoning jutsu and helped me get back to report my safety."

It's a pity that Blue's summoning scroll had long been transferred to a secret space for safekeeping, and now he couldn't even go back to the village to communicate directly.

Kaito looked at the little frog squatting obediently beside him and said helplessly.

"Blue, please go out and help me check the situation. If there is any problem, just cancel the summoning jutsu and come back. Got it?"

Fortunately, Blue only needs a thought to cancel the summoning jutsu and return to the scroll, which is even more convenient than Kaito using his own seals and the "secret power" to return here. Kaito is not too worried about his safety.

"(｀-′) Quack!"
