Konoha: Naruto From a Wolf

Chapter 19 Do you want to learn ninjutsu?

Looking at the full head of blond hair in the river, Naruto breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily for him, although there was a small gap, it could still be covered up with the help of hair from other areas.

"It seems that I need to change my training tools."

Uzuki Yugan's preconceived demonstration and the difficulty of obtaining hair gave Naruto a misunderstanding, that is, hair is needed to change the nature of the wind.

But looking back now, you will find that it was just a beautiful misunderstanding.

The reason why Uoyuki Xiyan used her own hair to demonstrate was definitely because she had confidence in herself, and the demonstration results were more obvious with slender hair.

"The practice of changing the nature of chakra is indeed a tedious process that is constantly repeated." Touching the vacant forehead, Naruto had a true understanding of this sentence.

Wow.

Pick a leaf casually and place it in the palm of your hand.

After a moment, Naruto looked at the edge of the young leaves, the almost invisible incision.

[Sure enough, compared to hair, leaves are much 'sturdier'...]

However, Naruto did not feel discouraged. The door to harvest had been opened for him. Although it was only a little bit, the next process was just a grind.

Only seven days have passed since the month-long vacation.

The next day.

Not long after Naruto sat down, the sounds of warblers and swallows came from the distance again.

He looked helpless and slowly put away the fishing rod again. If nothing else happened, he might not be able to catch fish in the next few days.

It’s not impossible to go fishing in farther and more dangerous places.

But it consumes too much time, the cost is too high, and it is not cost-effective.

Fishing is just a recreational activity for him to practice tedious exercises and relieve fatigue, and is not necessary.

It is not advisable to abandon the basics and pursue the weak.

Naruto simply hid the things, and the practice of changing nature also improved. It was a good thing to calm down and practice at home for a while.

"Hey hey hey..."

The obscene laughter from yesterday reached his ears again. Naruto looked sideways and saw a familiar buttocks in the grass not far away.

Naruto's eyes moved slightly, once it could be said to be a coincidence, but twice in a row, it was still in such a remote place...

【Are you here to monitor me again...】

Ever since he lived independently, ninjas have been monitoring him from time to time.

Later, I don't know whether it was because of his increasing age or his "stable" state that some people gradually relaxed their vigilance. These surveillances changed from around the clock at the beginning to irregular ones, and now to once a month.

To be honest, he was disgusted by this.

But at that time, this body was not yet developed, and it was unable to resist these surveillances, so it had no choice but to let it go.

As I grew up, the frequency of surveillance was greatly reduced. In addition, I also had some affection for this place where I had lived for more than ten years, so I didn't pay much attention to it.

But ignoring them does not mean that he will like those who monitor him.

[I don’t know if it’s the Third Hokage or someone high up in Konoha...]

There are some things he knows very well.

The various aids the Third Hokage gave him were just because of the Nine-Tails in him.

If he had not had the experience of being a human being for three generations, these methods adopted by the Third Hokage would undoubtedly be quite perfect moves.

Through emotional bonds and occasional meager investment, you can firmly hold the 'nuclear weapon' in your own hands.

No matter from which perspective, Sandai's methods are worthy of his position and worthy of the title of a politician.

He treated the third generation with a smile, which was nothing more than a profit-oriented transaction.

As a young man, he needed relief funds from the third generation to maintain his life, and the third generation needed to ensure that he was firmly in his hands.

Although he was disgusted in his heart, Naruto didn't do anything more. He didn't want to fall out with the old man yet.

The miniature man in the grass seemed to notice his movements, and hurriedly pulled out his body to stop him.

"That boy over there!"

Looking at Naruto's surprised look, the middle-aged man felt helpless inside.

Generally speaking, shouldn't children of this age be enthusiastic? Shouldn't they step forward and shout loudly to stop his behavior?

"What's the matter?" Naruto asked softly, realizing that he might have misunderstood someone.

The Anbu who were monitoring him would not say hello to him.

"You were practicing the changes in the nature of the wind just now, right?" the middle-aged man asked.

"..." Naruto raised his eyebrows slightly. Uzuki Xiyan made it very clear that day that changes in the nature and form of chakra are things that only the jounin level can come into contact with.

In other words, the weirdly dressed middle-aged man in front of him is at least a jounin.

"That's right." Naruto admitted generously, this was not something shameful.

"The cutting edge of the wind must be thin, just like the edge of an axe. If the ax body is the same thickness, it will not be able to cut anything." The man said while giving a demonstration.

Looking at the leaf broken in half in his hand, Naruto's heart moved. The problems that had troubled him these days were instantly solved.

"Thank you, would you like something to eat?"

Although he didn’t know what purpose this person had for teaching him, but the result was beneficial to him, then he had the need to express his gratitude.

"Can I ask what your name is?" Naruto asked. This person might be a ninja he didn't know in the village.

Of course, during the Chunin Exams, it's also possible that they were from other villages.

But there is no reason why ninjas from other villages should guide ninjas from other villages.

"Good question!" The man laughed wildly and performed a set of extremely exaggerated movements, "The great toad sage of Mt. Myoboku, the brave ninja hero Jiraiya, I am the one you are talking about!"

"Sage? I didn't expect that sages like mortal women so much." Naruto smiled slightly.

Maybe it's because the world is different. The immortal he thinks is the kind of man who picks up the stars and the moon, moves mountains and fills the sea, doesn't eat the fireworks of the world, sits among the clouds, and watches the changes in the world from a distance.

"What do little brats know? This is called collecting materials. Do you understand collecting materials?" Jiraiya sneered.

Children, whose bodies are not yet developed, understand the beauty of these things.

"Maybe." Naruto said in an incomprehensible tone.

"Have you had breakfast?"

"We only have so much time to collect materials, how can we have time to have breakfast?" Jiraiya said angrily.

Naruto looked up at the scorching sun that was already hanging high in the middle, shook his head and smiled, silently walked to the place where he had put the tools, and took out a small pot.

"Hey, everything is so complete, you must live here, right?" Jiraiya touched his chin. He could see clearly just now that all the pots, bowls, and seasonings were available.

"almost."

Naruto took out some of the food collected yesterday, washed it, and cut it into pieces...

"I guess you are a ninja, haven't you ever thought of inviting me to the village for a nice meal?" Jiraiya teased.

Naruto paused slightly and said sincerely: "I'm sorry, I can't take you to those places to eat, otherwise you will not be able to eat because of me."

"...Really?" Jiraiya looked at the boy's apologetic face, his lips moved, and he finally didn't know where to start from a thousand words.

In his opinion, as the son of the fourth generation and a hero, and with the help of the third generation of Hokages, Naruto's living environment should not be too bad.

But it seems...

"Naruto, how have you been these past years?" Jiraiya squatted next to him.

"It seems you know me." Naruto moved his hands for a moment, without asking further questions, but replied, "I have food and shelter, it's pretty good."

"Yeah……"

Naruto glanced at him in surprise, not knowing what was causing his inexplicable depression, but he didn't pay much attention to it and continued busy with the work at hand.

With many years of cooking experience, his skills are quite good.

The scent attracted several girls playing in the water not far away. With Jiraiya's warm invitation, the simple lunch for the two of them turned into a picnic for five people.

Since the girls took their seats, Jiraiya's cheerful laughter has not stopped for a moment.
