Alex: "Huh... I guess I have become proficient with the basic abilities thanks to the Uchiha ninja back then (your sacrifice won't be forgotten). now I just have to build up in it and get creative with the eye of hypnosis. Let's practice some more on these ten bandits. "
saying that Alex absorbs the 6 brain dead bandits and proceeds to practice his eye of hypnosis. Mastering the ability to take control of the entire body of the person.
[1 WEEK LATER ]
[3rd POV ]
A week or so has passed since Alex had his confrontation with the group of bandits.
Since then Alex has become even more proficient in using his Sharingan as well as his ninjutsu and kenjutsu.
Having been travelling towards the Yamanaka clan's residence. Alex has encountered many chakra beasts and Bandits, but they don't have much value to him. As he had grown past the stage where assimilating them gave a significant boost to his chakra reserves.
[6 DAYS AGO]
[ALEX'S POV ]
"Hmm...ok, I think I have got the hang of it."Said Alex watching a bandit dancing in front of him with Sharingan in his eyes.
"But it requires a lot of concentration...well, I just have to develop my Hive Mind I guess."
After mastering his eye of hypnosis. Alex decided to leave the cave and head towards the Yamanaka residence. Absorbing the bandits Alex noticed that he didn't get any significant chakra or physical boost from them.
*Sigh*
"There goes the easy way to get stronger quickly. Now I won't get much from absorbing civilian-level individuals."
Sighing Alex came out of the cave.
[PRESENT TIME ]
[Naruhito's POV ]
Arriving at a town called Oiwake, Naru headed towards a local inn and booked a room for the night.
"The Yamanaka residence is right beside the city. The innkeeper said that they have a flower shop with different types of plants. Hmm, I should check that out. "
Naru walked through the city eating dango and came near the flower shop. After looking at the Yamanaka symbol, he entered the shop and looked around at different flowers and plants.
The receptionist, who was a young lady with pale yellow hair and blue eyes, looked at Naru and felt a little strange as to why a samurai would come to a flower shop. Nevertheless, she put up a professional smile on her face and went up to Naru and asked "Hello sir, how can I help you today? Are you interested in buying any of the flowers?"
Turning to the girl Naru said "Yes, actually I was told that the Yamanaka have different kinds of plants with various effects if it is possible. I would like to buy some of them."
Hearing what Naru said the girl thought for a moment and said "Yes sir, we do sell those kinds of plants but they are not present in the shop. you have to come with me to the garden where they are kept separate also they might be a bit costly."
Naru just shrugged in response after hearing her. After shaking down so many bandits on top of the loot that he previously had. He was not worried about money. He replied "Sure, please lead the way"
After that Naru followed the girl to the secluded area of the garden used to show the samples of plants for sale.
Arriving at the place the girl said "This is where all the plants for sale are the Name and price of the plant are written below the pots as well as their effects if you have any queries or if you are looking for anything specific you can ask me."
Looking around Naru thought 'Hmm....so they have this area for showing the samples and the other parts are off limits for outsiders so that they can grow the plants using their secret clan methods.'
"I'll just look around and see what I like I'll tell you once I am finished. "said Naru to which the receptionists nodded and said, "ok, I'll be at the reception if you have any queries."
Saying that the girl left Naru to look at the plants. After looking around for some time, Naru selected some plants that caught his attention.
After calling the receptionist and paying the bill Naru left the shop and went to his room at the inn.
Arriving at the inn Naru quickly closed all the doors and windows and checked if anyone was spying or trailing him. After seeing that he was completely alone. He sighed and started to place the plants that he had bought earlier, which had cost him quite a fortune.
After placing all the plants on the floor, Naru looked through them. He had bought 5 different types of poisonous plants with varying degrees of poison, from diarrhoea-inducing to instant-kill plants. After that, he bought 3 different plants used to paralyse the prey and 2 for causing drowsiness. He also bought different carnivorous plants that produced a sweet smell and looked a little similar to his appendages when he started out.
And lastly recalling the talk with the receptionist
Naru: "Here it's the 22 thousand ryu that I owe you." said Naru as he handed the money to the girl.
The girl happily took the money excited about the sale she had made and the potential bonus from the clan.
Naru seeing the girl excitedly counting the money asked: "Actually I wanted to ask, if there was any other plant with unique features that you knew about then please do tell."
Hearing this the girl pulled her head out of the money and said "Well if you are asking for a unique ability then I think there was one plant that I had heard in my clan library.....I think it was called The Eye Medicine Plant but its location is unknown. Though I think it's just a myth."
Hearing her Naru was stunned...how could he forget about the illusion indusing eye medicine plant present in the valley of judgement.
Thanking her Naru left the shop only to hear the girl shouting: "Thank you for visiting, Please come back again."
[PRESENT TIME ]
Shaking off all the useless thoughts away. Naru started to assimilate the plants he had bought. Excited to see the results.
