Chapter 82 - 12

Chapter 12: Many Wives, Much Fortune! Naruto is an Incubus!Lunch break, rooftop.Shikamaru lay on the ground, looking at the clouds: "What a drag... Theory class is one thing, but there is Taijutsu class in the afternoon. Why do I have to be a Ninja..."Choji sat nearby, focused on eating his bento: "Shikamaru, aren't you eating? Today's fried chicken is delicious."Naruto leaned on the railing, watching the children playing on the playground below.Hinata and Sakura were practicing hand seals under a tree, and Tenten and Rock Lee seemed to be bickering...Izumi was surrounded by several senior girls asking for shuriken tips. Although she was only nine years old, the Uchiha name combined with the secret training from Ivy had already earned her a reputation as a "Genius Senior" among the lower grades."I'm telling you, Naruto," Shikamaru sat up, "how on earth do you do it?""How do I do what?""Those girls." Shikamaru pointed below, "Hinata is one thing, her eyes light up whenever she looks at you. Sakura is also obedient to you. And Ino, she secretly asked me three times today 'what color hair tie does Naruto like?'. Not to mention Senior Izumi, she's basically your personal bodyguard."Choji swallowed his fried chicken and said seriously: "Yeah, and Tenten, Senior Koyuki... it seems like they are all very familiar with you? Naruto, do you have some secret trick?"Naruto couldn't laugh or cry: "What secret trick! They all... they all know me for various reasons!""Liar." Shikamaru stared at him with dead fish eyes, "You definitely have a hidden 'attract girls' attribute. Tell me, is it some secret technique of the Uzumaki Clan? Like, 'Peach Blossom Luck Sealing Jutsu' or something?""There is no such thing!""Then why am I the same age as you, and I still don't know what it feels like to hold hands?" Shikamaru looked lifeless, "And my mom has already started asking me 'do you have a girl you like?'. I'm only six years old!"Choji raised his hand: "I want to know too. My dad said that in the future, I should marry a girl who can cook delicious food, but I don't even know how to talk to girls."Naruto was amused by these two funny guys: "Fine, fine, then I'll teach you. First, you have to treat girls as equal companions, not 'girls'. Second, listen carefully to them when they speak, and remember their preferences. Finally, stand by them when they need you. Girls all like heroes."Shikamaru and Choji looked at each other."Sounds like a drag..." Shikamaru lay back down."Naruto, can you demonstrate?" Choji asked."Demonstrate what?""For example..." Choji pointed downstairs, "Ino is coming up."Sure enough, Ino skipped onto the rooftop, holding two rice balls in her hand: "Naruto! I made rice balls for you! They are tuna flavored!"Shikamaru signaled with his eyes: See, here it comes.Naruto took the rice balls and smiled: "Thanks, Ino. How did you know I like tuna?""I, I guessed..." Ino blushed, "Um, Naruto, can we be in the same group for the afternoon Taijutsu class? I want to spar with you!""Sure." Naruto nodded, "But I'm very strict, you know.""No problem!" Ino ran off happily.Shikamaru said gloomily: "See that? That's the gap. When I take the initiative to invite girls to spar, I get treated like a pervert. You sit here without moving, and girls take the initiative to bring you rice balls and even beg to spar."Naruto: "...Go eat your rice balls."...In the afternoon Taijutsu class, there was indeed an accident.Group sparring, Naruto and Ino in one group, Hinata and Kiba in one group, Sakura and Sasukein one group, Shikamaru and Tenten, Rock Lee and Choji..."Alright, start!" Iruka blew the whistle.The confrontation between Naruto and Ino was almost one-sided.Although Ino had a good foundation in Taijutsu, she was no match for Naruto. In three rounds, Inowas gently put to the ground."So, so amazing..." Ino sat on the ground, her eyes shining, "Naruto, that turning move you just did, how did you do it?""A little trick of shifting the center of gravity." Naruto reached out to pull her up, "Come on, I'll teach you."On the other side, the sparring between Sasukeand Sakura was much more awkward. Sasuke was clearly not taking it seriously, just mechanically blocking and dodging, with no intention of attacking at all.Sakura also had no intention of tangling with Sasuke, glancing at Naruto's side from time to time...Sasuke frowned, finally making a clean front kick. Sakura, distracted, could only barely dodge, but her center of gravity was unstable and she fell backward.Just as she was about to fall, a hand supported her back.It was Naruto."Be careful." Naruto steadied her, then looked at Sasuke, "You should be a little gentler with girls, Sasuke."Sasuke looked at him coldly: "Taijutsu sparring is actual combat. In actual combat, will the enemy go easy on you just because you are a girl?""That may be true," Naruto smiled, "but we are classmates now, not enemies."Sasuke's eyes narrowed.The next moment, both of them moved at the same time.No hand seals, no Ninjutsu, just the most basic Taijutsu confrontation. But the speed was so fast that the surrounding classmates were stunned.Fist against fist, leg against leg.Sasuke's Taijutsu was precise and sharp, appearing to be far superior to his peers under the personal guidance of Uchiha Itachi, with every strike aimed at vital points.Naruto's Taijutsu combined the power-generating techniques of the Uzumaki Clan and the practical experience from Ivy training, making it flexible and changeable."So, so amazing..." Kiba opened his mouth wide, "Are they really six years old?"Shino pushed up his sunglasses: "Data is abnormal... This level of Taijutsu has already exceeded that of an ordinary Genin."After sparring for fifty or so rounds, both of them retreated at the same time, opening up distance.Sasuke was panting heavily, sweat pouring down, and his eyes looking at Naruto were even more complicated: "Are you... really just six years old?""Guaranteed authentic." Naruto was also a bit exhausted, "Aren't you only six years old too, Sasuke."Sasuke snorted and turned away.But Naruto noticed that his clenched fists were trembling slightly, not from fatigue, but more like excitement.Iruka walked over with a serious expression: "Naruto, Sasuke, your Taijutsu levels have far exceeded your peers. This is a good thing, but remember, the most important thing for a Ninja is teamwork, not individual showboating.""Yes." Both replied at the same time.After school, several girls gathered around, Izumi, Sakura, Hinata, Ino, Tenten..."Naruto, walking home together?""Naruto-kun, can you teach me that move from Taijutsu class today again?""Naruto..."Shikamaru pulled Choji along as they slipped past, whispering to complain: "Look, the Incubus attribute is activated."Choji nodded: "Yeah, Naruto really is an Incubus."Naruto: "..."
