Konoha, I have the Herrscher of the End core in my body.

"It's really dangerous. You just picked some honey. Why are you so persistent? If you keep chasing me, I'll kill you all."

Using space teleportation to avoid the fist-sized bumblebees that were everywhere, Naruto couldn't help but shake his head slightly. He had to admit that the Dark Continent was very dangerous. If it were someone else in the situation just now, it would be difficult to escape the pursuit of those bumblebees. He just picked some honey out of curiosity and ended up poking a hornet's nest.

Strictly speaking, Naruto could deal with those bumblebees. At worst, he could possess them with the flames of Amaterasu and see who was stronger. However, when he thought of the honey, he gave up the idea. The honey was a good thing. Keeping it could continue brewing, which was no better than killing it. Anyway, to him, the bumblebees were not that dangerous.

Only after arriving at the Dark Continent did Naruto understand where the threat here came from. The Dark Continent was too vast, and the environment where humans lived was completely secluded compared to the Dark Continent.

This big does not only refer to the large area of ​​the Dark Continent, but also the large creatures here, some tens of meters tall and some hundreds of meters long. After going deeper into the Dark Continent, their numbers gradually increased, not only on the ground but also in the sky. Even Naruto only stayed in the sky for a short time and used a telescope to roughly overlook the situation in the Dark Continent.

The first thing that comes into view is naturally the towering tree in the distant land. According to Jin, that is the real world tree. Compared with it, the world tree of human society is just a small sapling. If nothing unexpected happens, that should be the center of the Dark Continent.

Naruto was naturally interested in that place, but not now. He would definitely go and see it in the future.

In addition to large creatures that are very dangerous, small creatures should not be underestimated, just like the bumblebee he had provoked before. If Netero did not run away when he encountered it, he might not be able to withstand it. In addition to the bumblebee, other creatures such as snakes and insects are also very dangerous.

There are also savages. There are humans in the Dark Continent, but they can generally be classified as savages. These people have strong Nen abilities. Naruto has even seen them unite to hunt those huge creatures.

Because of these savages, Naruto roughly understood that there is a very credible inference about human society, that is, human society was once the inhabitants of the Dark Continent, but later came to live in the current six continents and slowly developed civilization. In the Dark Continent, facing so many threats, it is probably beyond the ability to develop a civilization like modern technology. After all, survival is not even fully guaranteed, so how can there be development?

"There may be some Kuruta here. Kurapika might meet them in the future."

Since there are savages, Naruto thought that there might be people from the Kurta tribe. When Kurapika and others come to the Dark Continent in the future, they might have a chance to meet them.

In addition to the savages, there is another race of dwarfs, which Naruto also encountered. This race also exists in human society, but they are called elves. There are many races in the human society of the Hunter world. Basically, as long as they are not like the queen of the Chimera Ants, who pose a fatal threat to human survival, humans can tolerate the existence of other races.

After some exploration, Naruto realized that the large creatures in the Dark Continent were not very dangerous to humans because of their huge bodies and could be discovered and avoided in advance. On the contrary, the small and strange creatures were the most dangerous. Naruto once saw a group of skeletons walking, which were the most dangerous. With the ability of Nen, it would be difficult to explore the Dark Continent without forming a team unless he had his ability.

Of course, there are always exceptions. For example, the person who wrote the travelogue of the New World was probably alone in the Dark Continent, so we can guess that his strength should be quite strong.

"We are finally here. The ultimate longevity item, Nitolomi. This should be the territory of the two-tailed snake."

The ultimate longevity item, Nitolomi, grows in a swamp and is very scattered in number. It is very dangerous to collect this thing in the territory of a two-tailed snake. Most people would probably only collect one or two and then have to stop. However, for Naruto, the two-tailed snakes here are not that dangerous.

"Shadow Clone Technique." When Naruto arrived near the swamp, he directly summoned dozens of clones, and then asked them to pick longevity rice separately. The main attack method of the two-tailed snake, poison and the hell bell sound caused by the shaking of its two tails, had no effect on Naruto.

However, as Naruto collected more and more longevity rice, the number of Hell Twin-Tailed Snakes appeared also increased, and the power of the Hell Bells they combined became stronger and stronger. Until one of the shadow clones dissipated because of the bell, Naruto immediately prepared to stop.

"More than two hundred rices, that's enough, it's a long-term solution."

After the first shadow clone dissipated, looking at the amount of rice they had collected, Naruto immediately decided to stop. Just like the honey before, he could not drain the pond to catch all the fish.

"Such a huge building, it seems that there was civilization in the Dark Continent before."

The vanilla that can cure all diseases is located in a huge ruins maze, but it is not easy to get the vanilla inside, because there are powerful and strange plant weapons, gold and silver ingots. This is a very strange weapon. There are strange spheres growing on people's heads. Judging from the clothes on these people, many of them should be humans who explored here before, and they turned into plant weapons to protect the vanilla.

Generally speaking, the guardian force here is more difficult to deal with than the two-tailed snake, but for Naruto, it is not difficult at all, because he can invade from the imaginary space and easily collect a large number of herbs. In order not to drain the pond, Naruto was also careful when collecting and took away some related soil. He wanted to see if he could grow these herbs. If possible, he even planned to see if longevity rice could be grown.

Of course, he will not only be researching this himself, he will also give some to Orochimaru and ask this scientist to help with the research. After all, he still needs to practice, and he cannot compare to Orochimaru's focus on scientific research.

“Perhaps in the future we can form a cross-world scientific organization.”

Then Naruto came up with an idea, that is, since he could appear in different worlds, he could gather the top figures from each world to conduct research.

"It's time to go back. We'll need to come over later."

After getting the two things, Naruto prepared to leave. As for the other three hopes, he didn't need them for the time being and would come back when he needed them. At the same time, he left the marks of the rituals on the longevity rice and vanilla, so that next time he came, he wouldn't need so much trouble. It would be like he was going to the Dark Continent now and returning to the human world through the portal in one step.

Of course, the place where he used the portal was a safe place that he had determined to be safe. It was a basement he had built on the ground with the power of the Herrscher of Stone. It would not bring the creatures of the Dark Continent into human society.

"It tastes good, but I don't think it has much effect after eating it."

The aroma of the longevity rice is very tempting. It does not require any processing and can be eaten right away. Even though Naruto knew it would have no effect on him, he still ate several of it.
