Naruto: Chronicles of A Fire Ninja

Chapter 97: Resource

The receptionist took the money and went inside a room, then came out with two pages, handing them to Kaida.

"This is a list of all the resources you can get using contribution points."

"Thanks." Kaida took the list and started reading it. The first page consisted of all the consumable items with their prices:

**Chakra Enhancing Elixirs** (80 CP): Potions or elixirs crafted from rare herbs and ingredients that naturally boost chakra reserves and increase physical strength temporarily. These elixirs are brewed by skilled medical ninjas and consumed before battles or training sessions to enhance performance.

**Endurance Tonics** (150 CP): Specialized tonics formulated to improve stamina and endurance without causing fatigue or exhaustion. These tonics contain ginseng, royal jelly, and special mushrooms known for their energy-boosting properties.

**Muscle Enhancing Salves** (120 CP): Topical ointments or salves infused with herbal extracts and chakra-infused compounds that stimulate muscle growth and increase physical strength. Applied directly to the skin, these salves temporarily boost strength during combat or training.

**Focus Pills** (300 CP): Concentrated pills or extracts derived from rare plants or animals that enhance mental focus, concentration, and reaction times. These pills improve combat prowess and strategic thinking without negative side effects by sharpening the mind and heightening awareness.

**Adrenaline Stimulants** (120 CP): Synthetic compounds or extracts derived from natural sources that mimic the effects of adrenaline, increasing adrenaline production to enhance strength, speed, and agility. These stimulants are administered through injections or inhalants and provide a temporary surge in physical performance.

**Regenerative Elixirs** (100 CP): Healing potions or elixirs infused with regenerative properties that accelerate tissue repair and recovery from injuries. By speeding up the body's natural healing processes, these elixirs allow ninjas to train harder and recover faster, increasing overall strength and resilience.

**Enhanced Nutrition Supplements** (60 CP, 30,000 Ryo): Specialized dietary supplements fortified with vitamins, minerals, and chakra-infused nutrients that promote muscle growth, bone density, and overall physical health. These supplements are tailored to ninjas undergoing intense training or combat situations, providing essential nutrients for optimal performance. Can be consumed daily.

**Vitality Infusion Brew** (150 CP): A potent brew crafted from rare herbs and chakra-infused ingredients that revitalizes the body and boosts vitality. Consuming this brew before battles or intense training sessions replenishes energy reserves, increases physical strength, and enhances performance without negative side effects.

**Spiritual Empowerment Tonic** (500 CP): A mystical tonic brewed from sacred plants and imbued with spiritual energy that fortifies the mind and body. Drinking this tonic heightens spiritual awareness, strengthens mental resolve, and amplifies chakra flow, resulting in significant increases in strength and resilience during combat or meditation.

**Harmony Restoration Elixir** (250 CP): An elixir formulated from harmonizing herbs and energy-balancing compounds that restore balance to the body's internal energies. By aligning chakra pathways and harmonizing elemental affinities, this elixir enhances physical strength, agility, and elemental control, allowing ninjas to unleash their full potential without the risk of imbalance or strain.

After reading the list, Kaida turned to the receptionist and asked, "Why are these two resources so expensive?" pointing to the **Spiritual Empowerment Tonic** and **Focus Pills**.

"You know why the Uchiha clan is so powerful, right? It's because of our Sharingan. The power of your Sharingan depends on two things: your spiritual energy, which increases with chakra, and your mental power. The problem with mental power is that it grows very slowly, and if your mental power is weak, your brain will be damaged from all the extra information the Sharingan provides.

Now, as you can see, these two medicines help increase that mental power, so obviously, they're going to be expensive."

Kaida nodded in understanding and once again shifted his focus to the list.

After some consideration, he asked, "Is there a limit on how many times we can take these medicines?"

"Yes, every medicine that's consumable and only has a temporary effect should only be used once a day. Medicines with permanent effects strain your body a little, so people usually take them twice or thrice a week. But those medicines you asked about should only be taken once a week. The **Harmony Restoration Elixir** is crucial if you plan on taking other medicines. It helps maintain balance in your body's energy and should be taken once a month."

"Thanks," Kaida said, making plans for resource gathering.

'I don't need consumables, so I can focus on endurance tonics and enhanced nutrition supplements to increase my physical power. For every two days, it'll cost 280 CP. I can earn around 250 CP in two hours by doing D-rank missions, so that's manageable. The real challenge comes with the focus pills and spiritual empowerment tonic—800 CP a week in total, but they're mandatory.

If I calculate, I can earn 1,750 CP a week, and I'll need 870 CP for physical supplements and 800 for mental ones, leaving me with about 80 CP. I can use the meditation room for some extra missions to save for the Fire Room. With that, I'll need to complete at least 25 D-rank missions daily and take time for physical workouts. So much to do.'

Kaida sighed at the thought of his workload, but then, with a wicked smile, he thought, 'If I can stick to this routine for a year, I'll be at least at the level of an elite jonin.'

With his plan set, Kaida folded the list, put it in his pocket, and left the counter.

"I still need to complete five more missions today. You know what, let's do ten more. Then I'll try the focus pill and see if it's worth the effort."

Kaida selected 10 more missions but waited to start, as he'd promised Hae to be back by lunchtime.

To his surprise, his clones returned within an hour.

"What happened? Why are you back so early?"

"We completed the missions. What did you expect us to do—play?" one clone said.

"That extra chakra was very helpful. We spammed a lot of jutsu and finished quickly," another clone said.

"Great, now we can complete these 10 more missions before lunch," Kaida said with a smile.

"Aren't you being too greedy now?" a clone asked.

"You'll be too when you find out what you can get with contribution points," Kaida said, dispersing his clones.

With the chakra restored from his clones and the hour of waiting, Kaida's reserves were nearly full again. This time, he made 20 shadow clones with 60% of his chakra, intent on speeding things up. The clones knew the plan, divided into teams, and set off.

Kaida submitted his mission reports, received his rewards, and asked, "Can I get the focus pill now?"

"You're at the right place. Do you want one?"

"Not right now. I only have 200 CP, so I'll have to wait a bit."

"Take your time," the receptionist said with a smile.

Kaida sat down, thinking, 'The more chakra I give to my clones, the faster they can complete missions.' He reflected on how his clones had used wind techniques and chakra enhancements to speed up tasks. It consumed more chakra, but the efficiency was undeniable.

Kaida went to receive the rest of his rewards, as the receptionist asked, "Do you want the focus pill now?"
