Upon opening that chest, Naruto discovered as scroll for a Fūinjutsu…
"[Fūinjutsu: Kiji Bōei]" he read off of the window that appeared, "'Sealing Jutsu: Cloth Defence'? What the heck? Meh. I can't use it yet, so into my inventory it goes."
As he did so, he was dragged into yet another Random Encounter.
"Aw for…what now!?" Naruto exclaimed as he and his replenished Iwa Bunshin (replacing them was a pain) faced against what had to be a supersized Mokujin, it was twice the height and breadth of Chōji's dad!
[Possessed Elder Mokujin]
Level 12
A tree that was over a hundred years old was infected with an evil chakra, turning it into an Elder Mokujin. Its strength is far greater that that of the regular Mokujin.
"Dangan barrage, now!" Naruto ordered hurriedly. This was not something he had expected. Why was a boss-character showing up here and now?!
All eight of his Iwa Bunshin sent out a broadside of Dangan at the Elder Mokujin, but it just walked forwards, smashing them out of the air like they were pebbles.
"Shit! It ain't working boss!" one Iwa Bunshin shouted.
"Four of you get into close combat and keep its arms occupied." Naruto ordered, "The rest of you attack with the Dangan again when the others have it distracted."
The clones followed his orders. Four of them created Gansetsukon and raced to distract the Mokujin up close and personal, while Naruto and the other four made ready to attack with the Rock Bullet Jutsu.
The Mokujin chattered a series of rattling wooden clicks and swung a large arm at the Iwa Bunshin, who dodged around it and started attacking the legs and what part of the torso they could reach with their staves.
As the wooden monster smashed down in an attempt to smash the clones, Naruto and the others sent five Dangan at it, smashing into the sides of the Mokujin one after another and sending it crashing to the ground.
Immediately, the Iwa Bunshin clambered upon it and started stabbing it on the head and upper torso with kunai and Gansetsukon.
"Spread out and surround it!" Naruto ordered. The reason why it had blocked all of the first barrage was that they all came from the same direction. Once the thing got up, it wouldn't have it so easy.
As predicted, the Elder Mokujin wasn't finished just yet and stood up, the Iwa Bunshin tumbling off like specks of dirt and crumbling to pieces on impact with the ground.
"Now!" Naruto ordered and five earth Menhir ripped free of the ground and tore through the air at the Elder Mokujin from five different directions.
The wooden monster was smashed to pieces and scattered all over the area, letting Naruto breath a sigh of relief. Then…
"Boss! It's multiplying!" One clone shouted. Sure enough, three regular [Possessed Mokujin] sprouted from the smashed remains of the defeated [Possessed Elder Mokujin].
"Oh for the love of ramen!" Naruto grumbled. Ludicrously high defence, high strength AND the ability to spawn lesser versions of itself once defeated?
"Smash them!" he ordered his clones, which they had done with gusto. Now that they knew how to defeat them, even multiple [Possessed Mokujin] were not match for Naruto and his clones. In short order, the three wooden monsters were kindling.
[Possessed Elder Mokujin] Defeated! You Gain 1200 EXP!
[Possessed Mokujin] X3 Defeated! You Gain 300 EXP!
All chakra saturation in Sub-Area 1 cleared! You gain 500 EXP!
You have gained a level! LV7-LV8!

"Sweet." he commented. That one big Mokujin netted him as much EXP as Mogura Wogura had!
The corpses of the three [Possessed Mokujin] dissolved to reveal three more [High-Quality Bokken] and about a thousand Ryo altogether. The [Possessed Elder Mokujin] dissolved to show a single bokken, but not a regular one. It glowed with a golden light.

"Huh…guess that's a useful thing to have." Naruto commented as he put it away.
As he warped back to Sub-Area 1, he debated about whether to go on to Sub-Area 2. He decided against it as he was hungry. And he was low on chakra.
"That's that for today then." he muttered and headed out of the Training Ground.
One Month Later
Higurashi's Weapon Shop
"Whoa…!" Naruto said in awe. He was looking at the pair of tantō lying on the counter of the shop. The blades shone brightly in the light reflected from the illumination provided by the lamps.
The blades were simple, but the distinctive ripple along the edge, the hamon, spoke of blades produced by a master smith. The blades had obviously had a horimonoshi at them, as one had a flower pattern engraved that looked like camellias and the other had patterns that looked like violets.
"I see you noticed the engravings." Higurashi Tatsuhiko observed with a smile, "That's Kanae's work. She's good -really good- at that sort of fine detail work. Ordinarily, we would let you name them and then engrave a horimono to match it, but with these, we named them for you. This one is Tsubaki and this one is Sumire. In hankotoba, Sumire means Honesty and Tsubaki, when they're red, means perishing with grace."
"Cool." Naruto said. He meant it.
The hilts of the blades were wrapped in coloured tsukamaki bearing their respective colours, while the small tsuba had more fine engraving work on them.
"Now Naruto-kun, are you sure that you want to give us most of the remaining chakra?" he asked with a look of concern.
Before Naruto could answer, a box popped up.
