Chapter 137
Tsurugi Fubuki rubbed her forehead in frustration, glaring at Naruto with indignation.
Naruto had things to do and didn't want to interact with the legal loli right now, so he waved his hand dismissively: "Kid, go play somewhere else~"
Tsurugi Fubuki: "???"
"What did you say? You dare call me a kid? Do you know how old I am?"
Naruto glanced at the weight on her chest that didn't match her height and nodded in agreement: "For someone your age, it really is quite big."
Tsurugi Fubuki was so angry her face turned red. Was this really Konoha?
But why were there so many weirdos here?
Sarutobi Hiruzen was at least somewhat normal, but that so-called Toad Sage Jiraiya was obviously an old lecher.
And now the old ones were perverts and the young ones were perverts too?
Tsurugi Fubuki's face flushed crimson as she wanted to argue with Naruto.
But the ANBU behind her spoke up: "Hurry up and go. I'll take you to your place—I still need to get off work and watch a movie with my girlfriend."
Tsurugi Fubuki: "???"
…
It was now noon, and the weather was scorching hot.
Naruto started missing the cold of the Land of Snow. He lay on a bench under a big tree, thinking about his next plan.
Learn 65 ninjutsu within two months.
To people in the ninja world, this sounded like an impossible fantasy.
But for Naruto, it didn't seem that difficult.
Because Naruto's chakra control had already reached a certain level, and his understanding of chakra was at mastery in every aspect.
Logically speaking, as long as Naruto knew the chakra circulation method and hand seals, he could successfully perform any ninjutsu.
So what Naruto needed next was the chakra circulation methods and hand seals for various ninjutsu.
"Mm! Time to go find Kakashi now!"
Naruto sat up from the bench, thinking: That guy Kakashi copied a ton of ninjutsu with his Sharingan—supposedly over a thousand. That's more than enough for me, and I can even pick which ones to learn.
The only problem was… where did Kakashi live?
The moment this thought arose, Naruto heard a roar like a hot-blooded young man from nearby.
"Yosh! Kakashi! I'm here! Let's have a passionate showdown!!!"
A green streak shot past Naruto at high speed. Naruto didn't even need to look—he knew it was Might Guy.
Follow him…
Without thinking much, Naruto gathered chakra in his legs and quickly chased after Guy.
…
Hatake compound. Kakashi had already changed into casual clothes and was lying in bed happily taking out one of Jiraiya's novels.
Just as he was about to enjoy it, a huge head suddenly appeared outside the window.
"Kakashi-Kakashi-Kakashi-Kakashi-Kakashi!!!"
"Let's duel!!!"
Kakashi was so startled the book fell. He looked helplessly at Guy and lazily said: "Guy, how about dueling tomorrow instead?"
Guy angrily shouted: "Kakashi, how can you waste your precious youth? If we're dueling, it has to be today!"
Kakashi's dead-fish eyes became even more dead-fish-like. The weather was hot, he was drowsy—how could he muster the energy to duel this guy?
"Fine then."
"So I'll decide the rules of the duel."
Guy got excited: "Great! Say it! Rules are up to you! I'm definitely going to win anyway!"
"If I don't win, I'll run 100 laps around Konoha. If I can't finish 100 laps…"
Kakashi placed the book under his pillow and said: "Then… we won't speak. Whoever speaks or makes a sound first loses."
Guy looked at Kakashi in shock: "Kakashi? What kind of contest is this?"
Kakashi said seriously: "Enduring what ordinary people can't endure—that's what makes a ninja."
"Great!!!! Let's do it!"
Guy got pumped up. He held his breath, squatted by Kakashi's window without making a sound, and stared intently at Kakashi.
He looked like he was taking the contest very seriously…
Meanwhile, Kakashi took out his book again, planning to enjoy it properly. But then…
"Hey! Kakashi, Hokage's orders."
An ANBU suddenly appeared in Kakashi's room and said to him: "Lord Hokage orders you to follow Uzumaki Naruto for this period and obey Uzumaki Naruto's instructions."
"Got it?"
Kakashi and Guy: "…"
After the ANBU appeared, Guy excitedly looked at Kakashi.
As long as Kakashi answered or made any sound, he would win.
However, though Kakashi said he didn't want to compete with Guy, he took the contest very seriously. He gave the ANBU an "understood" hand sign without making any sound.
The ANBU noticed something strange and looked oddly at Guy and Kakashi: "What are you two doing? Cat got your tongues?"
Kakashi and Guy: "…"
ANBU: "Weird… Here's the mission scroll. I'm leaving it here, Kakashi."
Kakashi and Guy: "…"
The ANBU shook his head. Mission delivered—no need for him to stay.
After the ANBU left, Kakashi and Guy still didn't speak, maintaining the same mode.
Suddenly…
Bang!
The door was kicked open by Naruto, who shouted inside: "Kakashi!"
Someone called his name. Kakashi instinctively let out a nasal sound: "Mm?"
The next second, Guy burst out laughing at the top of his lungs: "Hahahaha! Kakashi, I win this match! You lost! Hahahaha!"
Kakashi didn't mind and said to Naruto: "I know what's going on."
Naruto nodded: "Mm! Then I'll be counting on you from now on."
Kakashi saw Naruto being so serious and asked: "Did something happen?"
Naruto said: "Yes, something big."
"I realized I don't know any ninjutsu, so I'm having you teach me ninjutsu."
Kakashi: "…"
…
Konoha training ground. Three figures appeared.
On such a hot day, basically no one came here—people only came out in the afternoon.
Guy was still rambling some "I won" nonsense. Naruto had no idea what he was doing.
Kakashi followed behind Naruto with dead-fish eyes, looking listless.
Suddenly, Naruto stopped, turned to face Kakashi, and said: "So, for each nature, show me first the ninjutsu you use most frequently."
Kakashi yawned and said: "What's important in learning ninjutsu is mindset. Don't be impatient or frivolous. Only then can you better control chakra and learn ninjutsu faster."
However, Naruto didn't listen to Kakashi's teaching at all. Instead, he said: "By the way, also explain the chakra circulation method."
Kakashi: "…"
Today, Kakashi had already lost count of how many times he'd been rendered speechless.
