Ch. 272. Effects of Toad Senjutsu Wine. [2]

　　He returned to the Iwagakure and found Naruto:

- "Naruto, this is the wine I got from Gamamaru. After drinking it, you will gain senjutsu chakra."

- "It's just that the effect is not as strong as Gamamaru said."

　　Gamamaru said that one sip can help you achieve the «Sage Mode», which is completely nonsense.

　　Mizuki handed over an ordinary wine bottle, which was already filled with toad wine.

　　Naruto looked at the bottle handed over by Mizuki and didn't take it:

- "Sensei, I am still a child and cannot drink."

G "Besides, among the three ninja taboos, ninjas are prohibited from drinking alcohol."

　　Mizuki raised an eyebrow.

　　Don't answer? This is not possible!

　　Mizuki:

- "Naruto, everything has two sides. Why is it that among the three forbidden ninjas, drinking is not allowed?"

- "Because ninja is a high-risk profession, you need to be alert at all times. Even during non-mission periods, you must be prepared to encounter emergency missions at any time."

- "Drinking affects the brain's thinking and can easily cause problems, so ninjas are prohibited from drinking."

　　Naruto nodded, indicating that he understood.

　　Mizuki smiled and then said:

- "Actually, you understood it wrong."

- "The three ninja prohibitions are not against drinking, but against alcoholism. In other words, as long as you don't drink too much and don't drink to the point of dizziness, it doesn't matter."

　　Naruto was confused:

- "Huh? Is that so?"

　　Mizuki:

- "Of course it is!"

- "I was a teacher in a ninja school, could what I said be wrong?"

- "Stop being wordy and hold the wine. Remember, take a sip every day and don't waste it."

　　Mizuki forced the bottle into Naruto's hand and turned to leave.

　　Naruto was holding the bottle, feeling something was wrong, but couldn't put his finger on it:

- "If you think about it carefully, what Sensei said makes sense. Ninjas are prohibited from drinking because they are afraid of getting into trouble if they drink too much. So as long as you don't drink too much, you'll be fine."

- "And if you drink this wine, you can gain senjutsu chakra and increase your strength. Even if you drink it, my mother won't blame you."

　　He opened the bottle cap and took a sip.

　　As soon as he took it into his mouth, the spicy taste made him want to spit it out immediately.

　　But when he thought of what Mizuki had just said not to waste it, he quickly covered his mouth, gritted his teeth, and swallowed in small gulps.

"Cough cough cough!"

　　The wine flowed down the throat into the abdomen, and wherever it went, it was as uncomfortable as a knife cutting it.

　　"Cough cough cough~"

　　Naruto coughed violently, choking on tears:

- "Wow, why does it taste so bad!"

Naruto burst into tears and wanted to throw away the bottle in his hand.

　　Mizuki, who hadn't gone far yet, smiled when he heard Naruto's complaint and ignored it.

　　[Ding!]

　　[The host grants the disciple Naruto Uzumaki a bottle of Toad Wine, which triggers an 8000-fold return.]

　　[Congratulations to the host, you have received a bottle of Toad Sage Liquor.]

　　Mizuki's heart moved:

- "Toad Sage Liquor?"

　　The name has changed, from wine to sage liquor, which is obviously much higher-end.

　　I just don't know what effect this toad fairy brew has.

　　[Toad Sage Liquor: Contains powerful natural energy. One sip can increase senjutsu chakra by 80 cards.]

　　[If you have a basic knowledge of Senjutsu, if you drink one sip, you can immediately practice into the «Sage Mode». After drinking three sips, you can practice into the Perfect «Sage Mode». After drinking one bottle, you can practice into the Permanent «Sage Mode».]

　　Mizuki's eyes widened.

　　Isn't this the effect that Old Toad mentioned? Old Toad's wine can't do it, but the Toad Sage Liquor returned by the system can:

- "If Naruto drinks this bottle of Toad Sage Liquor, he can achieve Permanent «Sage Mode»."

　　Naruto once practiced senjutsu at Mt. Myoboku. Although he was unsuccessful, he had a foundation in senjutsu, as the compound system said.

　　Even if he doesn't give it to Naruto, it's okay for Mizuki to keep it for himself.

　　This bottle of Toad Sage Liquor can last for about ten sips.

　　One sip gives you 80 cards of senjutsu chakra, which is very effective when used in combat.

　　80 chakra of Kakashi is enough to release many ninjutsu.

　　But after thinking about it carefully, Mizuki shook his head and rejected both ideas:

- "The top priority is the Chunin Exame. This thing comes just in time. Let each of them take a sip and their strength will immediately increase exponentially. Passing the Chunin Exame will be a piece of cake."

- "Anyway, there is still plenty of Toad Wine, so I can just return it through the system later."

　　At dinner time, Mizuki took six little guys to a barbecue restaurant.

　　Before the barbecue was served, Mizuki took out a bottle of wine and poured a little for each person:

- "Everyone takes a bite, and there will be no more."

　　After speaking, he picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it himself.

　　Putting down the wine glass, he found that neither Naruto nor the others had moved:

- "Drink, why don't you drink?"

　　Neji looked blank and said:

- "Mizuki-Sama, this is wine. We ninjas cannot drink."

　　Mizuki:

- "What ninjas can't drink? I say you can drink it if you can. This wine is not an ordinary wine. It will be of great help to you in the next Chunin Exame."

- "After you drink it, you will understand. Don't worry, it's just one sip, it'll be fine."

　　Seeing that everyone was still silent, Mizuki with serious look in his eyes said:

- "This is the mission I give you as the Shodai Ōtorikage!"

- "You must complete this mission!"
