Naruto looked as though he wanted to throw a punch at him, waving his fists.
Kakashi immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Sin.
If sin could truly be measured in numbers, then personally killing one's most important teammate would surely carry no small sin value.
"Better not try it." Kakashi repeatedly waved his hands.
Having witnessed Sasuke's strength, he had no desire to be critically hit by Naruto.
"Did Kakashi-sensei do something wrong too?" Naruto's eyes widened.
"Naruto..." Kakashi's voice seemed a little subdued. "After all, I've been to war."
On a battlefield, who could truly be innocent?
If you did not kill, you would be killed.
Looking at Kakashi's expression, Naruto suddenly remembered the Konoha Memorial he had seen earlier.
He fell silent as well.
"Naruto." Shen Mo's voice came at that moment. He spoke slowly, "I already said that unless someone is a true Saint, everyone has more or less a dark side. The gauntlet's judgment of sin is related to actions, to one's heart, and even to the user's own will. Since you drew this item, how you use it and judge it will depend on you."
To Shen Mo, gauntlets like these were practically standard equipment for a protagonist's power-up.
When facing an enemy, they could throw a critically hit punch.
Especially when combined with Naruto's talk-no-jutsu, just imagining the scene felt rather exciting.
Naruto seemed thoughtful, but one look into his eyes showed that he still did not fully understand.
He had seen too little.
The Naruto of now was not yet the Naruto who would go through so many things later.
"If you want to test your strength, Naruto..." Kakashi suddenly thought of something. He formed hand seals with both hands, then slammed them onto the ground. "Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall."
The ground trembled slightly as a wall made of earth rose directly from the ground.
Shen Mo could tell at a glance.
This Earth-Style Wall was different from ordinary ones. Its surface was relatively loose, while the deeper layers grew harder. It had clearly been specially made for testing force.
"Try punching this wall," Kakashi said to Naruto.
"Punching a wall?" Naruto looked disgusted. "That can't critically hit."
"Enough talking. Take off the gauntlet and throw a punch first." Kakashi's face darkened.
Did this Naruto really want to hit someone that badly?
The others were curious as well.
They watched Naruto take off the gauntlet, assume his stance, and punch the wall.
He only left behind a fist mark.
For a Genin, that was about it.
Then he put the gauntlet back on and threw another hard punch.
Boom!
The impact was clearly duller than before, and a small round crater nearly thirty centimeters wide appeared in the wall.
He really had become much stronger!
And—
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Naruto. He could see that it was not merely Naruto's right hand that had gained strength. From the force generated at his waist to the explosive power of his arm, his entire body had been enhanced.
What principle was this?
"My strength really got bigger!" Naruto himself was extremely delighted.
"Hmph, still weak." Sasuke snorted from the side.
Yet the envy in his eyes was nearly impossible to hide.
This was only the first chest!
Why could he not draw special equipment?
If he had a sharp sword capable of dealing critical hits, it would definitely be immensely effective against that sinner who had murdered his father and mother.
"Keep going, Naruto." Shen Mo smiled from the side.
The Justice Gauntlet's boost to strength was only an added benefit, but Naruto's own strength was not that great to begin with.
Still, Shen Mo was naturally happy to see everyone marvel at how powerful the equipment was.
Having tasted the benefits, Naruto predictably became excited.
"Opening Chests, Opening Chests!"
He ran over in a skipping, jubilant manner, muttered something under his breath, and reached toward one of the chests.
Shen Mo's heart gave another jolt.
Fortunately.
In the end, Naruto picked up another chest beside it.
It seemed that his good fortune was like Tsunade's gambling luck. It was powerful, but not that powerful every single time. Otherwise, Tsunade would not keep gambling; there would be no point if she lost one hundred percent of the time.
Shen Yun also breathed a sigh of relief.
The chest opened this time only contained an Experience Aura for physical training. After using it, Naruto's physique improved slightly.
Aside from Hiruzen Sarutobi and Kakashi, who found it extremely miraculous since it was their first time seeing one.
Sasuke and Tsunade both let out a sigh of relief without prior agreement.
Because they both knew that Experience Orbs like these were fairly common.
The next few chests contained incomplete fist techniques, incomplete body-tempering methods, Experience Orbs...
None of them were ordinary items.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze became increasingly grave.
Those fist techniques and Secret Arts, if their complete forms could be gathered, would be of no small help to Konoha's ninjas as a whole. Could Level 1 Chests already contain such extraordinary things?
Then, in the seventh chest.
Naruto drew another orb.
"An orb!" Naruto was quite happy.
Compared with those incomplete manuals he could not yet practice, an orb could tangibly increase his strength.
But just as Naruto was about to absorb it.
Shen Mo stopped him.
He seemed to be examining the orb carefully.
Sasuke, standing nearby, suddenly had a bad feeling, because the same scene had happened once yesterday.
"Mr. Shen Mo." Sasuke swallowed, his voice even stuttering slightly. "Could this orb be..."
"That's right." Shen Mo nodded. "It's a Skill Orb."
"Gasp—"
Sasuke could not help sucking in a breath.
A Skill Orb!
Of all the many chests he had drawn yesterday, the most precious item had undoubtedly been the Skill Orb for Flying Immortal Beyond the Heavens.
Naruto had actually drawn a Skill Orb from a Level 1 Chest!?
Even though Sasuke had never played games, he had the urge to curse, True Emperor, go die!
Wasn't it said that there might not even be one in five hundred chests?
"What? What's a Skill Orb?"
Naruto seemed to realize that he had drawn another good item. He grinned from ear to ear. Even though he did not yet know what it was, his mood had already brightened completely.
"Don't worry." Shen Mo patted Sasuke's shoulder and comforted him. "It is rare, but the orbs in Level 1 Chests are usually not powerful. Naturally, they cannot compare to your Flying Immortal Beyond the Heavens."
Sasuke lowered his head, not feeling comforted in the slightest.
When it came to drawing prizes, one did not fear bad luck; one feared comparison.
Who knew how many people had been driven mad by others showing off their luck, even spending wildly as a result.
"Flying Immortal Beyond the Heavens was the move Sasuke used at the end?" Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed to understand something.
"Correct." Shen Mo nodded. "A Skill Orb essentially grants a skill that can be used directly. Sasuke's Flying Immortal Beyond the Heavens was created by a master of Swordsmanship. Though Sasuke had clearly not reached that level himself, he could still use such a move. That is what a skill is."
Although Naruto's was also a Skill Orb.
Its actual value was not high.
It had only cost one thousand Trading Points. Shen Mo had given it out merely to provide an example.
Skills required no Cultivation, and they were both mysterious and powerful. Their appeal was enormous.
