Anko Mitarashi: "It's over, Yūgao has fallen~!"
Anko Mitarashi: "Everyone, hurry and look~!"
Anko Mitarashi: "Yūgao has been captivated by a little brat~!"
Kurenai Yuhi: "I never expected Yūgao to be in such a state... Even when she first created her Swordsmanship: Oborozukiyo back then, her heart wasn't this fervent."
Kurotsuchi: "Like a fanatic."
Kosuke Maruboshi: "This little girl is probably going to be completely lost to it."
Anko Mitarashi: "That's right, you're doomed, Yūgao, you're falling in love~!"
Yūgao Uzuki: "..."
Senju Tobirama: "To be honest, if I were still alive and met such a genius, I probably wouldn't be doing much better than Yūgao."
Uchiha Izuna: What does that have to do with you again?
Senju Tobirama: "You bastard... have you forgotten how I severely injured you?"
Uchiha Izuna: You... Stinky Scumbag! I hadn't even activated my Mangekyo Sharingan yet!
Cough, cough, cough—
Inside the Pure Land World, the frequency of the coughing grew faster and faster.
They could even hear a wet sound in the voice.
The snow, too, fell harder and harder.
[Finally, the moon was high in the sky.]
[Naruto ran away.]
[Afraid that the woman might commit a crime.]
[Today's harvest was substantial.]
[He gained many sword moves and insights from Yūgao Uzuki.]
[Naruto will be dedicated to studying swordsmanship for a long time to come.]
[As for the Great Fox.]
[If it won't give it, so be it. Minato Namikaze was able to develop new Ninjutsu by referencing the Great Fox's Tailed Beast Ball, so why can't he?]
[Furthermore, regarding the matter of the Ninja who can fly.]
[Naruto wasn't in a rush.]
[Besides, this was also a good excuse.]
[To let that 'terrifying' woman, Yūgao Uzuki, help him search.]
[Also, she mentioned that she knows an Illusion Master.]
[That's great, then he'll hand that over to her as well.]
[Naruto said that he would seriously study swordsmanship in the future.]
[But he didn't want his affairs to be known by a third person.]
[Yūgao Uzuki wasn't stupid, but she was stunned for a long while.]
[If the person standing in front of her was a handsome and edible great guy, she definitely wouldn't doubt that Naruto already knew everything.]
[But the one standing before her was only a child under ten years old.]
[Yūgao Uzuki remained silent for a long time and connected many things.]
[Uzumaki Naruto is definitely not as simple as he seems; perhaps he already knew many things.]
[Was he expressing this to her implicitly?]
[For a moment, Yūgao Uzuki was somewhat moved.]
[She never expected to be trusted.]
[So, she thumped her chest and guaranteed Naruto that no third person would know about these things.]
[But she also had one small request.]
[A moment later, Naruto helplessly wiped the drool from his cheek.]
[Truly worthy of an offensive from a Big Sister.]
[Originally, in Naruto's impression, even the most formidable woman couldn't compare to Ino.]
[He never expected that a Big Sister who usually looked cold would, in one move, leave Ino several blocks behind.]
[Furthermore, Naruto didn't even dislike it.]
Ino Yamanaka: "You... I... I lost..."
Ino lowered her head, like a defeated old hen.
But in an instant, Ino became full of fighting spirit again.
"I only lost due to age. Just wait, once I grow up, I'll immediately turn the tables!"
Hoo—
She took a deep breath.
Ino looked at Hinata, "Hinata, it looks like we'll have to team up in the black frame world."
Hearing this, Hinata froze for a few seconds.
Then, she nodded very seriously.
Her reaction immediately stunned the girls.
They then looked at her with mischievous smiles.
Hinata realized what happened after the fact.
And her face flushed bright red with embarrassment.
[For a long time afterward, Naruto didn't see Yūgao Uzuki again.]
[She seemed very serious about the tasks he had given her.]
[Naruto wasn't idle either.]
[He began practicing Fire Release while simultaneously honing his swordsmanship.]
[His improvements were naturally quickly converted into improvements for his small group.]
[Not long after, Yūgao Uzuki returned, but she hadn't found anything regarding his main request.]
[However, she did bring back many Illusion-related scrolls.]
[Naruto thus remembered one person, Kurenai Yuhi.]
[And another, the carefree Big Sister, Anko Mitarashi.]
[He had heard of both of them, especially Anko Mitarashi, whose name was recorded in the historical documents of the Uchiha Clan.]
[Disciple of the Missing-nin Orochimaru.]
[Another year passed in the blink of an eye.]
[On this day.]
[Rock Lee changed into his classic green outfit.]
[They graduated.]
[Being one year older than Naruto and the others, they naturally graduated first and became Genin.]
[Team Three was formed.]
[Their supervising Jonin was Might Duy's son, Might Guy.]
[Neji and Tenten were also in the team.]
[Naturally, this called for a celebration.]
[At the same time, their becoming Ninja meant they could leave the village.]
[Being able to leave Konoha meant there were many things they could do.]
[That night, all three of them promised that as soon as they received a mission that allowed them to leave the village, they would help Naruto collect various historical documents, as well as inquire about the location of the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama's granddaughter, Tsunade of the Legendary Sannin.]
[Tenten was the most enthusiastic.]
[Tsunade was not only the girls' idol.]
[She also possessed the complete training method for Super Strength... Most importantly, her Secret Technique had the effect of eternal youth.]
[This made the girls extremely envious.]
[They couldn't wait to graduate themselves.]
[After Naruto gave his helpless instructions, the party atmosphere livened up again.]
[The next day.]
[Naruto came to the back mountain as usual.]
[Yūgao Uzuki had been visiting less often recently, but each time she stayed longer.]
[Every time, Naruto felt that the woman was about to lose control and 'make a move' on him.]
[Shaking his head, Naruto took a deep breath and calmed his mind.]
[During this time, he had simulated many types of Ninjutsu derived from referencing the Tailed Beast Ball inside the Sealing Space.]
[But developing Ninjutsu wasn't that simple.]
[The Great Fox remained silent every time, refusing to give any hints.]
[Naruto didn't force it; what was meant to come would come eventually.]
[Today, he ended the Great Fox's Storybook early.]
[Something had caught Naruto's attention over the past few days.]
[He heard it from Yūgao Uzuki.]
[The Sandaime's son, Asuma Sarutobi, whom he hadn't seen in a while, had returned.]
[Yūgao Uzuki mentioned it in a complaining tone at the time.]
[As soon as he returned and saw Kurenai Yuhi, his eyes were like a pervert's; the annoying bearded smoker was back.]
[Furthermore, Yūgao Uzuki mentioned with a mix of helplessness and worry that her former friend, Gekkō Hayate, had failed a mission and returned to the village.]
[Seeing Yūgao Uzuki's anxious look and her constant reassurances to him.]
[How could Naruto not know what she was worried about?]
[It was nothing more than fear that her suitor would make him angry or suspicious.]
[For a moment, Naruto was puzzled, was his charm really that great?]
[It was only when he stood in front of a mirror that he felt relieved.]
[That's right, he was the child of Minato Namikaze and Uzumaki Kushina.]
[Handsome and outstanding; it would be strange if girls didn't like him.]
And upon seeing this.
Many people in the Ninja World widened their eyes.
What?!
The one who went to track Orochimaru and Uchiha Itachi.
That Gekkō Hayate isn't dead yet?
Did that kid just slack off right after leaving the village?!
