Ever since Naruto had reached the Core Formation Stage, his strength had soared.
That was especially true of his understanding and use of the Divine Powers and ocular techniques he already possessed!
For instance, he had combined the spatial Divine Power of his Kamui Sharingan with the second and third variations of the Flying Thunder God.
His hand could now pass through space and appear right in front of an enemy!

Han Li asked hesitantly.
"That's right, Brother Han! That's why I came with you. I wanted to give you a surprise!" Naruto answered with a grin.

Elder Gu had been quite wealthy!
And he had carried so many Spirit Stones on him!
Apparently, he was in the habit of keeping all his possessions with him. In
