Before starting to consume the orbs and strengthen himself, Naruto decided to sleep, as it was the right choice in his opinion. Time outside of the dimension was frozen, so he could spend hours there without affecting the real world.
As he thought, Naruto lay down on the grass near the lake and soon fell asleep. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a familiar scenery. In front of him were three large rabbits - one black, one grey, and one white - grazing peacefully. But when they sensed Naruto's presence, the rabbits showed their teeth.
Naruto didn't hesitate: "Shadow Clone Jutsu!" In an instant, five clones identical to him appeared and ran toward the rabbits.
Meanwhile, Naruto manifested his chakra, trying to feel the presence of other creatures in the area.
When Naruto no longer detected any other presence in the area, he breathed a sigh of relief but remained on alert. Meanwhile, his shadow clones had already advanced toward the three large rabbits and defeated them with quick and precise attacks. The strength of each clone was formidable, too much for the rabbits to resist if they attacked seriously.
After the fight, the clones collected the orbs, but unfortunately, they were still only receiving red orbs. Naruto felt a bit frustrated but continued to focus on collecting as many red orbs as possible to strengthen himself.
Naruto was determined not to be discouraged, even after another round of red orbs. He raised his hand to the air, excited, as his clones dissolved around him.
"All right, now I'm going to act with style!" he said, making the seal to create more shadow clones.
In an instant, about a thousand clones appeared around him. "All right, guys. Let's make an effort and conquer this thing!" Naruto shouted with excitement, and the clones responded in unison.
The energy explosion caused reactions in nature, with the sounds of birds and animal movements.
Naruto didn't care about attracting attention. His goal was to kill anyone who came after him. But what if a monster from another map appeared again?
Well, he couldn't be helped, after all, he had already died even when he was discreet. And even when he tried to be discreet, he ended up being found by some unfortunate who killed him more than once.
Naruto walked through the map, his eyes attentive, looking for a rare beast that was worth more than the rabbits. As time passed, he realized how valuable the shadow clone jutsu was in this place. He was gaining red orbs at an impressive speed.
In just one hour, Naruto managed to gather about three thousand red orbs. But that's not all. From the shadow clones that died, he received information that he had killed wolves, black dogs, armored dogs, and a red lion. Some had the misfortune of encountering a lightning-using horse, a giant lizard, and a black anaconda - all were tough opponents that his shadow clones couldn't defeat.
The beasts he faced were fast and their instincts were superior, making it almost impossible for Naruto to avoid their attacks. Because of this, he ended up losing several shadow clones.
Naruto was ecstatic with his harvest of red orbs, even though he had lost several shadow clones during battles against dangerous beasts. "Alright, it's time to test this!" he murmured, excitedly replenishing with more shadow clones.
But then, something strange happened. Naruto sat down on the ground and began to meditate, assuming a strange appearance with aspects of a toad. He was turned into a statue once again, unable to speak.
The waiting shadow clone began to laugh loudly: "Hahaha! It worked!" After laughing for a few seconds, he took Naruto's statue and hid it in a safe place before dissipating.
Meanwhile, Naruto in statue form received the information from the dissipating shadow clone and was overjoyed. "With this, I can act safely until I am strong enough to not resort to this approach..." he thought, excited about the possibility of acting more safely.
But there was a downside: once the shadow clones disappeared completely, he would no longer be able to create new shadow clones.
However, that was not a small detail that was not worth considering in his opinion. At the moment, there were approximately a thousand shadow clones working to gather orbs, there was no reason for him to feel distressed in such an advantageous situation.
Several hours later, approximately nine hours, all of Naruto's shadow clones had disappeared.
Was Naruto unhappy about this?
Of course not!
Why? Well, he had gathered so many orbs that he didn't even know if he would be able to use them all within a year!
Naruto was radiant with joy and pride in himself, after all, he had achieved an incredible amount of orbs during the nine hours his shadow clones worked tirelessly. He had no more reason to feel distressed in such an advantageous situation.
In total, he had gathered about 20,000 red orbs, 2,000 purple orbs, over 100 divine wind art orbs, and about 50 divine fire art orbs. The amount was so absurd that he was left speechless.
Time seemed to pass slowly for Naruto, who could hardly wait to return and start strengthening himself with all the orbs he had collected. He didn't even have to worry about how many purple orbs he would use, after all, he had enough to spend. The happiness and satisfaction Naruto felt were palpable, and he could hardly wait to start using the orbs.
Seconds turned into minutes, and soon they turned into endless hours, until finally the moment he had been waiting for arrived.
His mind blanked out for a moment, and when he woke up, he found himself in a familiar landscape. "I'm back!" exclaimed Naruto, raising a fist to the sky in celebration.
After so much time in statue form, he was eager to get back in action and start using the orbs he had accumulated. Although the experience was strange, Naruto felt he had learned something about the nature of chakra.
Scratching his head, he decided not to dwell on it too much. Sitting in a Zen Meditation position, Naruto began using his red and purple orbs in a deep meditation.
As Naruto remained in his Zen meditation, his thoughts flowed with clarity and focus. The property of the purple orbs was more powerful than he ever imagined, and he felt almost addicted to its miraculous sensation.
But for Naruto, this addiction was not a bad thing. On the contrary, how could it be? Using purple orbs not only increased the clarity of his mind but also strengthened his mental power. If he continued like this, he knew he would eventually be able to resist even the most powerful genjutsu in the world!
Or...
At least, that's what he hoped.
And as he continued meditating, he felt his mind becoming stronger and more powerful, ready to face any challenge that might arise.
