The final result was settled.
Hinata stayed behind.
Kurenai Yuhi also stayed behind.
Late at night, two sets of bedding were laid out in the room.
One set was on the bed, and the other set was also on the bed.
Hinata curled up in the blankets, lying carefully on her side, maintaining a perfect distance from Naruto, keeping even her breathing very light.
"Goodnight, Naruto-kun."
"Yeah, goodnight."
On the other side, on the sofa.
Kurenai Yuhi was wrapped in a blanket, staring at the ceiling with her eyes open, feeling more and more annoyed the more she thought about it.
Why did things turn out like this?
She, a dignified Konoha Jonin, could deal with sleeping on a sofa, but she felt like she was being played like a fiddle by a mere brat.
Kurenai turned over, gritting her teeth.
"...That damn brat, if he dares to do anything out of line, I'll definitely show him what's what!"
...The next morning.
Knock, knock, knock!
There was a knock on the door.
A man wearing sunglasses, a bandana, and the green Konoha Jonin flak jacket stood at Naruto's doorstep.
Ebisu.
As the private tutor for Konohamaru Sarutobi, the grandson of the Third Hokage, Ebisu was appointed as a Special Jonin for his excellence in teaching.
This time, he was commissioned by Kakashi to guide Naruto's Cultivation.
Seeing that no one answered the door for a long time, Ebisu couldn't help but frown.
"Tsk, what time is it? Don't tell me he's still not up yet?"
Although Kakashi had specifically emphasized to him before leaving that Naruto was different from other Genin and told him to be careful.
But in his eyes, Naruto was just lucky.
Coupled with the overall decline in the level of Konoha's younger generation, it allowed a prankster Dead Last like him to slip through and reach the final round of the Chunin Exams.
Knock, knock, knock!
He continued to knock, but there was still no answer.
"With this kind of laziness, how can he possibly become a Chunin?"
"Since you haven't learned self-discipline yet, I, as a teacher, will teach you what a Ninja's sense of crisis is!"
A hint of severity flashed in Ebisu's eyes.
He looked around, confirming that the hallway was empty.
Then his hands quickly formed Seals, and his fingers lightly brushed against the door lock.
Ninja Art: Lock-Picking Technique!
Click.
The lock made a soft sound as the security bolt was precisely nudged open by Chakra.
Ebisu snorted coldly and slammed the door open, his mouth already prepared with a scolding:
"Uzumaki Naruto! The sun is already high in the sky, how can a lazy guy like you..."
However, the moment the door fully opened, the words Ebisu hadn't finished shouting got stuck in his throat.
Kurenai had just gotten up from the sofa, wearing loose pajamas with her shoulder slipping out, rubbing her sleepy eyes.
As soon as she looked up, she met Ebisu's gaze.
In the next second, the latter looked as if he had been struck by lightning, standing frozen on the spot as a nosebleed uncontrollably erupted.
"...Ku-Ku-Ku... Young Miss Kurenai?!"
Before he could react, a violent force suddenly came from his abdomen.
Bang!
Naruto appeared where he had been standing, while he was kicked flying, crashing heavily into the corner and passing out.
"Did a thief break in?"
[Ding!]
[Detected host beating up a closet pervert, evil points +50!]
Hearing the mechanical prompt in his mind.
Naruto then withdrew his leg with satisfaction and turned to look at Kurenai Yuhi on the sofa.
"Why aren't you dressed properly?"
Kurenai Yuhi: "..."
...Half an hour later.
After finishing the breakfast made with love by Hinata, Naruto left home and went to the Hot Springs with Ebisu.
In the original story, while the two were practicing Water Walking there, they happened to encounter Jiraiya, who was gathering material for Icha Icha Paradise.
As for Hinata, she was practicing with Kurenai.
Although the latter was the bottom tier of Konoha's official Jonin combat power with a 0/1 record in the entire series, she should still be more than capable of guiding a Genin.
Arriving at the Hot Springs area.
Steam swirled, and mist rose.
Although he didn't understand why Kurenai Yuhiwas at Naruto's house looking like that, nor did he see clearly who kicked him flying.
Ebisu, with toilet paper stuffing his nostrils, was still trying to maintain his dignity as a Special Jonin, teaching:
"The next part of your Cultivation is crucial. Water Walking is an Advanced technique for Chakracontrol!"
"You must continuously release a precise amount of Chakra to the soles of your feet, constantly adjusting your balance according to the surface ripples. One slight mistake and you'll sink..."
Naruto's gaze wandered around.
Soon, he saw a familiar figure.
"Hey, where are you looking? Have you even been listening to the control techniques I just mentioned!"
Seeing Naruto's absent-minded look, Ebisu felt his dignity wounded once again.
Looking in the direction of Naruto's gaze.
He saw a figure in an orange-red haori behind the rock garden wall, peeping into the Women's Bathhouse.
"Teacher, that white-haired middle-aged man seems to be peeping."
"Hmph, how shameless! Naruto, don't leave, I'll go handle this!"
He rushed toward Jiraiya, forming Chakra Seals in his hands, intending to stop him.
However, the white-haired man on the wall didn't even turn his head, just casually swiped backward.
Bang!
With a dull thud, in the next second, he was sent flying, crashing hard into the mud and passing out.
Naruto glanced at Ebisu.
The gap between a Special Jonin and a Kage-level Expert is indeed too vast... not to mention that Ebisu wasn't a combat-oriented Ninja to begin with.
Aside from having solid basic skills, his overall strength was at the lower end among Special Jonin.
He walked toward Jiraiya.
The latter squinted his eyes and said teasingly, "Oh? Kid, looks like you're this guy's companion."
"What, seeing your teacher get beaten, you want to avenge him? I suggest you forget it, this Immortal..."
Before he could finish, he suddenly noticed the hard-to-ignore pattern on Naruto's abdomen under his half-open jacket.
An Eight Trigrams Seal composed of two Four Symbols Seals?
This is the Nine-Tailed Sealing formula.
This kid is Minato's child, I think his name is... "I am Uzumaki Naruto."
Naruto took the initiative to speak.
"Jiraiya, stop obsessing over your BS child of prophecy."
"I am the child of prophecy. Teach me Ninjutsu, and I will bring stability to this world."
These words were like a thunderclap, exploding directly in Jiraiya's mind.
How does he know who I am?
How does he know about the Great Toad Immortal's prophecy?
How is he so arrogant?
Even though he was used to seeing great storms, Jiraiya was so shocked at this moment that he couldn't say a word for a long time.
After a long while.
He finally calmed his emotions slightly and took a deep breath.
The cynical and lewd expression on his face completely vanished, replaced by a solemn scrutiny.
"Kid, who taught you to say these things?"
Naruto shrugged, didn't answer, and said to himself, "Teach me the Rasengan."
Jiraiya: "...On what grounds?"
"As one of the 'Legendary Sannin,' the great toad sage famous throughout the Ninja World, and the Personal Disciple the Third Hokage is proud of..."
Naruto said while pulling a videotape out of his pants pocket.
"Surely you wouldn't want this precious footage of yourself crawling on the ground, lewdly peeping into the Women's Bathhouse, to spread throughout all of Konoha tomorrow?"
