After a warm farewell from the barbecue restaurant owner and employees, Qingkong and Naruto followed Kakashi's lead to an unremarkable blacksmith shop.
"Boss Murakami, I'm here to bring you business."
As soon as he entered the store, Kakashi spoke to a middle-aged man who was hammering in the corner.
"Oh? It's Kakashi."
"What do you want to buy this time, kunai or shuriken?"
Boss Murakami glanced at him without even looking up.
"Neither. This time, these kids want to buy some wearable weights."
Kakashi turned sideways and pointed at Naruto and the other two behind him.
"A heavy load?"
Hearing this, Mr. Murakami became interested because very few people came to buy heavy objects.
After all, weights are something that only people who practice physical skills can use.
Ninjas focus on the training of ninjutsu, and even if physical skills are involved, they will not go to the extent of purchasing weights to assist in their training.
"That's right! Uncle, we want to buy this, do you have it here?"
Naruto pulled Rock Lee to Boss Murakami and pointed at the weighted iron ring on Rock Lee's leg and neck.
"Oh? Isn't this what I sold to Kai before?"
"It seems you are Kai's student."
Boss Murakami recognized at a glance that the weighted iron ring on Rock Lee's leg was the one Kai bought from him a few months ago.
Because the word "roots" is engraved on it, and Kai asked him to engrave this word specifically, saying that it was to motivate his students to train hard.
"Yes, boss. I'm Li Luoke, a student of Mr. Kai."
"Thanks to your weight ring, my strength has improved significantly."
Rock Lee bowed slightly to him.
Without further ado, Mr. Murakami walked to an iron box, opened it with a click, pointed inside and said to them:
"You should thank your teacher. He paid for it. I just sold it to him."
"You are right. I am also very grateful to Teacher Kai for his efforts for me!"
"It's all here."
Naruto ran over and took a look, and immediately found a dozen iron rings of different sizes placed in the box.
"so much!"
"Well, there are four weighing 1,000 jin, four weighing 800 jin, and six weighing 500 jin. Which one do you want?"
"I want a thousand pounds!"
Naruto answered without even thinking.
"Me too."
Sasuke walked forward, took a look and also chose Qianjin's.
Rock Lee was tied with a thousand-jin weight. If they tied less than a thousand-jin weight, wouldn't it mean that they were not as good as Rock Lee?
At this time, Goku walked forward and took a look, and then he spoke as if he had thought of something.
"Boss, do you have weighted wrist guards and vests?"
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
On the street, Naruto and Sasuke were walking around with ferocious faces, and every step they took made a loud noise.
"This is too heavy!"
Naruto gritted his teeth, his face flushed red, and he felt like he was using all his strength with every step he took.
Previously, after Goku asked the question, Mr. Murakami said that he also sold weighted wrist guards and weighted vests.
So they ended up buying these two things in addition to the iron rings to tie around their legs.
At this time, the weighted vests on him and Sasuke weighed 1,500 kilograms, and the two weighted wrist guards weighed 300 kilograms each.
Jin!! After adding two thousand-jin iron rings, the weight of the load on their bodies reached an astonishing 4,100 Jin.
"Hey, are you two really okay?"
Seeing their performance, Sakura couldn't help but feel worried.
Don't wait, or you'll faint.
While she was worried, she also secretly patted her chest in congratulations for having a smooth life.
Fortunately, she had the foresight to not put on the weights right away, but instead asked Master Goku to bring them to the training ground tomorrow.
She did this because she felt she couldn't bear to wear these things 24 hours a day and could only accept wearing them during training time.
"Of course, no problem!
Although it was difficult to walk, Naruto still held on like a dead duck.
Let him give up so soon?
Something that must be impossible!!
Although Sasuke beside him did not respond, his face showed determination, and he was determined to fight these heavy objects to the end!
Seeing that the two did not listen to her advice, Sakura sighed silently, and then she seemed to think of something and turned to look at Wukong who was following beside her.
"Teacher Goku, how do you know there are wrist guards and vests among the weights? Have you used them before?"
"Yes, I used it a long time ago." A trace of memory flashed across Goku's face.
That was what he used when he was practicing in the Temple of the Gods. It has been several decades now.
"Then Teacher Goku, how heavy was it that you used before?" Sakura asked curiously.
As soon as these words came out, Naruto and Sasuke, who were walking in front with difficulty, pricked up their ears quietly, ready to listen to Goku's reply.
Even Kakashi, who was yawning nearby, instantly perked up.
Goku's true strength has always been a mystery in their hearts.
After all, when fighting Zabuza before, Goku subdued his opponent with just a few moves, making it impossible to tell his strength at all.
And by listening to the weight of the load, we can guess a little.
Goku pinched his chin, frowned and thought for a while before replying,
"It seems to be two hundred kilograms?"
Because it has been so long, he is a little uncertain now.
"Only two, two hundred pounds?"
When Sakura heard Goku's answer, her eyes suddenly turned into small eyes.
Naruto and Sasuke, who were walking in front, almost stumbled.
"How is that possible! Master Goku, you must be lying to us, right?"
Naruto turned around with difficulty and looked at Goku angrily.
Apart from anything else, the stone that Wukong lifted when he exercised with them every day weighed several thousand pounds. How could the weight be only two hundred pounds?
"Haha, I was still very weak at that time." Wukong laughed, touching his head.
"Then Mr. Goku, how much weight do you think you can carry at most now?
Sakura didn't bother to hold onto the weight anymore and asked Goku about his assessment of himself.
"I'm not sure about this," Goku scratched his head and replied with some confusion.
He hasn't done extreme weight training for a long time, who knows how much weight he can carry now.
But then, he suddenly remembered that he had trained on the Great King Kai planet after he and Cell died together. At that time, the North King seemed to have set an eight-ton load for himself?
Wait, it seems that King Kai later adjusted the load to 40 tons?
Thinking of this, he immediately had the answer.
He didn't care how shocking the answer was, or how inconsistent it was with his current ability, and just said it out loud.
"Now I remember, it should be about 40 tons." He smiled innocently.
"Duo, Duo Shao?!"
Everyone thought they would not get the answer, but unexpectedly, Wukong suddenly gave it.
But is this answer too exaggerated and beyond human cognition?
"Hey, forty tons. How many kilograms are forty tons?"
Among the crowd, only Naruto was not shocked by the answer, because he was still confused about the conversion ratio between tons and catties.
"Naruto you're an idiot, you don't even know this!"
Xiaolou, who was distracted by the victory, came back to his senses after hearing Naruto's loud voice, with black lines on his face.
"One ton is 2,000 kilograms, and 40 tons is 80,000 kilograms!"
"Hah? Eight, eight... Ouch!"
Naruto lost his balance due to a loss of concentration, and with the help of the weight on his body, he came into violent close contact with the ground.
