Chapter 42: Refusing Special Training! I Just Want to Talk About Life with a Young Nurse
The air in the forest in the early morning was very fresh.
But at this moment, the atmosphere was not very good.
"Summoning Jutsu!"
As the white smoke dissipated, a toad the size of a watermelon crouched on a rock. Its back was covered in warts, and it gave a croak.
"Impressive, right! This is a toad from Mount Myōboku; they're both smart and capable in a fight!"
Jiraiya struck a proud pose, pointing at the toad and boasting loudly, "As long as you sign your name, this power will be yours!"
However, the scene Jiraiya had envisioned—Narutolooking on with eyes full of admiration—did not happen.
The Blonde Youth had his arms crossed, his face scrunched up in a ball. He took two steps back in disgust, as if he were looking at a pile of poop.
"Huh? Just this?"
Naruto picked his ear with his pinky, blew on it, and said, "Pervy Sage, you dragged me out of bed early in the morning just to show me this slimy, hairless, warty thing? Is there something wrong with your sense of aesthetics?"
A vein popped on Jiraiya's forehead. "What do you know, you little brat! This is power! This is a legacy!"
"Legacy my foot." Naruto rolled his eyes and sat down on the grass, directly starting to slack off.
[Are you kidding me? You want me to form a contract with something that makes me lose my appetite just looking at it? If I have to summon this thing every time I fight, wouldn't my art style instantly shift from a hot-blooded idol drama to a horror monster movie?]
[This kind of physically exhausting and aesthetically unpleasing chore is simply a waste of my youth.]
Naruto boredly plucked a foxtail grass and bit it in his mouth. His mind had already drifted away, flying from this boring forest to a place filled with pink bubbles.
[Sigh, as expected, that search mission is much more interesting. I heard Granny Tsunade has a follower named Shizune?]
[In the original work, although Shizune dressed very conservatively in those drab kimonos... it's such a waste! She's a Medical Ninja! And she's the kind of big sister who is usually gentle but shoots poison needles when she gets angry.]
[This kind of setting is an insult to the word 'medical' if it's not paired with a white, tight-fitting nurse's miniskirt!]
[Just think about it. If you were injured, and Miss Shizune was wearing that pure white uniform, collar slightly open, holding a giant syringe, and saying with a blush, 'Naruto-kun, it's time for your injection...']
[In that moment, even if I were poked into a pincushion, I'd be willing! Compared to sweating over a toad, this is the true motivation for cultivation!]
...
Meanwhile, in Tanzaku Street, in front of a popular dango shop.
"Lady Tsunade! Did you take the breakfast money to play the Pachinko Machine again?!"
The dark-haired woman wearing a dark kimono and holding the little pig Tonton was shouting exasperatedly at the back ahead of her. Shizunefelt so tired; not only did she have to pay off debts, but she also had to manage this master who spent money recklessly.
Just then, she suddenly felt a chill down her back.
Immediately after, within her mind, the ninja world sky screen suddenly displayed images without any warning.
Although there were no concrete pictures, Naruto's vivid inner thoughts exploded in her head.
White... tight... miniskirt?
And holding... that kind of syringe?
"Eeeek—!"
Shizune jumped in fright, suddenly hugging Tontontightly. Her face instantly turned red all the way to her neck. The customers eating dango nearby were so startled by her scream that their chopsticks dropped to the floor.
That kid... that legendary Nine-Tails Jinchuriki... what kind of messy, perverted things is he thinking about all day?!
An injection? And blushing?
Shizune felt her thighs burning, as if a pair of aggressive eyes were really staring at her, wanting her to wear those kinds of clothes that simply couldn't be seen in public.
"Shizune? What's wrong with you?" Tsunadeturned around, looking at her suspiciously. "Are you hiding some private savings?"
"N-n-n-no! Lady Tsunade!" Shizune waved her hands frantically, squeezing Tonton so hard the pig's eyes rolled back, her heart wailing in distress.
How does this kid... understand the special charm of a Medical Ninja so well?!
[Ding!]
[Detected that the host Shizune has gained a brand new realization regarding the 'Usage of Medical Tools' due to Naruto's perverted delusions.]
[Obtained Special Reward: Medical Ninjutsu: Chakra Scalpel - Long Distance Version (Due to a certain psychological suggestion of'shooting,' your Chakra Scalpel can now extend five meters and be fired like a hidden weapon).]
Shizune stared blankly at her hand. A flicker of blue Chakra on her fingertip jumped a few times and actually shot out, cutting off a tree branch by the roadside.
What was this? Combat power exchanged for shame?
...
The scene returned to the forest in Konoha.
Naruto, who was rolling around on the grass, had no idea that his fantasies had caused his future senior sister to evolve; he was still bargaining with Jiraiya.
"Hey, Pervy Sage, let's make a deal."
Naruto flipped over and sat up, his eyes shining. He looked like a crooked merchant. "I heard that besides Mount Myōboku, there are other sacred lands in the Ninja World, right?"
"For example, Granny Cat's place? Can you let me contract a Ninja Cat or something?" Narutogestured an alluring curve with his hands. "Think about it, if I could summon a cat-eared girl with ears, wearing leather, who would call me 'Master' in a soft, sweet voice..."
"That's the kind of prestige a hero should have!"
"If you can teach me to summon a cat-eared girl, forget practicing, I'll run through this entire forest right now! Really, for a Beast-eared girl, I'm willing to die!"
Jiraiya's eyelids twitched as he listened, and more and more anger veins popped on his forehead.
Looking at this kid whose head was full of perverted trash, he suddenly felt an urge to purge the ranks.
This is the son of the Fourth Hokage! Minato was so bright and upright back then, and although Kushina was hot-tempered, she was still a normal person. How did they give birth to such a strange son? cat-eared girls? What on earth is that?!
Moreover, the fanaticism in this kid's eyes didn't look like a joke; he really wanted to make a move on the summoning beasts!
"Whew..."
Jiraiya took a deep breath, and an extremely 'kind' smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Uzumaki Naruto."
"What? You agree? You think cat-eared girls are great too, right?" Naruto rubbed his hands in excitement.
"I think your brain really needs to clear up right now."
"Eh?"
Before Naruto could react, Jiraiya swung his large hand, grabbed Naruto by the back of his collar, and lifted him up like a little chick.
"Since you're so willing to 'die,' then this Sage will grant your wish!"
Jiraiya pushed off with his feet, leaping into the air and charging directly toward the bottomless canyon ahead.
"Since you won't listen to kind words, then let the fear of death help that mush-filled brain of yours open up! Down you go! Feel the weight of life!"
"Waaaaah! You old geezer, are you for real?! This is an abyss! People will die! Let me go! I still have to deliver... to Sister Ayame... Aaaaaah!"
Accompanied by a scream, Naruto was thrown straight into that deep valley.
The wind whistled in his ears as his body plummeted rapidly.
During the rapid descent, a crisp notification sound suddenly rang in Naruto's head, completely ignoring that the host was in a life-or-death moment.
[Ding!]
[Your obsession with medical uniforms and syringes was too strong, triggering a violent emotional fluctuation in the key character 'Shizune'.]
[Obtained Passive Skill: Medical Ninjutsu Resistance +10% (When facing women using medical attack methods like Chakra Scalpels, damage is reduced. Perhaps this is to help you better experience the injection?).]
"Damn it! Who wants this kind of resistance! What I need right now is a parachute!"
Naruto flailed his limbs wildly in the wind, watching the rocks below get closer and closer.
Jiraiya stood on the edge of the cliff, hands behind his back, looking down with a deep gaze.
"Come on, Naruto. If you really are that Child of Prophecy, let me see if you can awaken the... monster inside you in this desperate situation."
But he didn't know that at this moment, the kid right under his nose wasn't thinking about how to awaken the monster at all, but rather—
[It's so dark down there. I wonder if there are any legendary sealed Spider Spirits or Snake Spirits inside...]
