Chapter 9: The Special Technique
They arrived at the dining room...
It was a rather small room, almost out of place compared to the large courtyard outside. The interior was simple, with only a modest table clearly meant for two or three people.
Naruto and Konohamaru sat at opposite ends.
"Big Brother, can you show me the ninjutsu you know?"
Waiting for the food was a bit boring, so Konohamaru tried his best to keep the conversation going.
"Sure," Naruto replied after a moment.
He had no intention of hiding his abilities. Before the Third Hokage was out of the picture, no one would dare target him. And if Hiruzen did try something… he could always defect. He wasn't attached to a village full of people who hated him.
"This is the Ama no Murakumo."
Naruto grasped the empty air with both hands. A golden, glowing longsword instantly appeared in his grip.
"Wow, that's so cool!!!"
Konohamaru's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Can I touch it?"
Naruto shook his head. "This sword is made of pure light. It has extremely high destructive power. No one except me can touch it."
He lightly tapped the corner of the table with the blade. Without any noticeable force, a chunk of the table corner cleanly fell off.
"That's amazing!! Big Brother, is it really impossible for me to learn this technique?" Konohamaru looked up at him with pitiful, pleading eyes.
Naruto almost felt bad refusing, but the truth was the truth.
"It's impossible," he said, shaking his head again before dismissing the sword.
"What a shame~"
Konohamaru looked disappointed for a moment, but quickly perked up. "Big Brother, what other ninjutsu do you know?"
Laser? Yasakani no Magatama? Yata Mirror?
None of those were easy to demonstrate casually.
"The rest of my techniques aren't convenient to show right now, but the one I just used has other applications."
Naruto created a kunai in his hand. "Light Release: Kunai!"
"So cool! If you can create kunai out of thin air, you don't need to carry metal ones anymore, right?" Konohamaru said enviously.
Naruto nodded. "In theory, yes."
He couldn't think of any reason to carry iron kunai.
"Young Master, dinner is ready!"
At that moment, Sarutobi Kijaku walked in carrying the prepared meal.
Two small plates were filled with a variety of dishes.
There was rice, rice balls, and noodles as staples, along with fish, vegetables, and pork. Several types of fruit and snacks were also included.
Such a lavish meal was apparently just an ordinary day for Konohamaru.
Kijaku placed the food in front of both boys. The dishes were similar, but Naruto's portion was noticeably larger — clearly adjusted for his age.
Even though she disliked him, Kijaku hadn't mistreated him. In fact, she had given him extra consideration. This small detail slightly improved Naruto's opinion of her.
Perhaps in her mind, disliking Naruto was personal, but taking care of her young master's guest was professional duty.
As expected of the Hokage family's nanny. She's truly professional.
"I'm digging in!"
Konohamaru clapped his hands together and began eating enthusiastically.
Naruto was hungry too, but he ate slowly and methodically — a stark contrast to Konohamaru's wild manner.
Half an hour later, both had finished every last bite.
Kijaku, who had been waiting nearby, came forward to clear the dishes and leftovers. Shortly after, she returned with two cups of hot tea.
The warm tea sliding into a full stomach brought a deep sense of satisfaction.
Having a nanny like this to take care of you is really comfortable, Naruto thought as he glanced at Kijaku.
"Big Brother, I'm full. When are we going to learn the ninjutsu?" Konohamaru asked excitedly.
"Let's do it now."
Since he had enjoyed the Sarutobi family's hospitality, Naruto saw no reason to delay.
"Really?!" Konohamaru's eyes lit up.
"Yeah. Follow me outside."
Naruto planned to teach Konohamaru the Seduction Technique.
It was a low-level technique after all, and he didn't dare teach it inside the Sarutobi compound. If other clan members saw it, it would definitely cause trouble.
Of course, it wasn't the only technique he could teach — but since he couldn't even perform the basic Three Body Techniques himself, the Seduction Technique was pretty much his only option.
The two left the Sarutobi grounds and headed to the main street of Konoha.
"The technique I'm going to teach you is called the Seduction Technique."
"Seduction Technique?"
"In simple terms, you transform into a beautiful woman to launch a mental attack on men."
"Transform into a beautiful woman?"
Konohamaru scratched his head, clearly not understanding how such a technique could be powerful.
But since Big Brother said it could defeat Grandpa, it must be true!
"First, show me your Transformation Technique."
Naruto spotted a reasonably attractive woman nearby and said, "Turn into her."
Konohamaru glanced at the woman and smiled confidently.
"No problem! Piece of cake!"
"Transform!"
Poof!
When the smoke cleared, Konohamaru had turned into a thick-lipped, barrel-waisted, neckless fat auntie.
"..."
"Do you think that woman looks anything like that?"
Naruto's face darkened. He had Konohamaru transform back. "Look carefully at her face — eyes, nose, mouth — and her figure. Why did you make her so fat?"
"Oh, right."
Konohamaru nodded seriously and tried again.
This time it was slightly better, but still off.
"Still too fat!"
"Got it!"
"Transform!"
Konohamaru kept practicing the Transformation Technique on the street. The repeated puffs of smoke naturally attracted the attention of the woman he was trying to copy.
When she saw him repeatedly making hand seals and turning into a version of herself that only vaguely resembled her — and looked like a fat auntie — she instantly lost it.
Instead of scolding Konohamaru, she marched straight toward Naruto, ready to beat up the one teaching him.
However, the moment she raised her hand, Naruto grabbed her wrist.
"Get lost."
He flung her hand away and stared at her with cold eyes.
The icy gaze made the woman step back in fear.
"You… you…"
She wanted to say something harsh, but under Naruto's stare, the words stuck in her throat.
Seeing her completely intimidated, Naruto turned away with mild annoyance.
"Let's go, Konohamaru."
"Okay, Big Brother!"
Konohamaru gave the woman a confused glance before quickly catching up to Naruto.
