Naruto: Nawaki was already dead, how could you bring him back to life?

He finally awakened his Sharingan, and now he's just going to give it all away like this?!

Chapter 58 Matt Day's Request

"Sharingan?! This kid actually has..."

Under Chiba's grief-stricken gaze, the water blade inexplicably stopped at his brow.

After giving him a deep look, the black-haired man's entire body instantly turned into water and disappeared, spilling onto the ground.

"Huh...huh..."

The black-haired man seemed to have never been there. Only Chiba remained on the street, supporting himself on his knees, panting heavily, enjoying the thrill of surviving a close call.

"Damn it!" Chiba cursed under his breath.

Every time he thinks he's become awesome, there's always someone even more awesome who pops up and gives him a good thrashing. That feeling is just awful!

As for who that guy was...

Third generation Mizukage?

No, Chiba felt that what he had just "faced" was most likely Uchiha Madara!

"If it really is him, it means that no one was watching this place just now, so there is no need to worry about the Sharingan being exposed."

Chiba suppressed his anxiety and forced himself to calm down and think things through.

"So, what was 'his' intention in letting me go?"

Chiba knew that he wouldn't encounter any more danger for a while.

But now he has been noticed by someone lurking in the shadows, and in the future, there will definitely be an even more terrifying crisis waiting for him!

……

The next day, Chiba grinned as he performed "Living Puppet Blood Refinement" on himself at home, occasionally showing off his Sharingan and admiring himself in the mirror.

Although the Chunin Exams have ended, the list of Chunin who passed the exams and their appointments will still take some time.

On such a grand occasion, high-ranking officials and elites from various countries rarely gather together, so they always engage in some alliances and factions first.

The higher-ups in Konoha were no exception; everything else could be put aside for the time being.

"Brother Chiba, are you home? I've brought that bastard who offended you yesterday to apologize to you."

Just as Chiba was focused on his cultivation, Fugaku Uchiha's voice rang out from outside the door.

Chiba jumped out of bed, opened the door, and saw Uchiha Fugaku and a reluctant-looking Uchiha Naga.

"Hurry up and apologize to Brother Chiba!"

Seeing that Uchiha Bohan stood there, stiff and silent, Uchiha Fugaku gave him a push in annoyance.

"No need, Brother Fugaku."

Chiba smiled and said nonchalantly, "I learned a lot from yesterday's sparring session with Brother Lang, and any grudges between us have long since vanished."

"If anyone should apologize, it should be Ryou-san to Mikoto. I'll let it go."

Chiba had already vented his anger yesterday, having already touched her, received his reward, and nearly killed Uchiha.

There's no need to create a potential enemy over a petty argument. If handled well, he might even gain another friend!

"Brother Chiba, you are truly a man of great integrity."

Upon hearing Chiba's words, Uchiha's expression immediately improved, as did Fugaku's.

Although he came to apologize with his men, he would still be displeased if Chiba was aggressive and took advantage of his advances.

"Tsk, you're not a bad guy, I, Uchiha Rinpoche, acknowledge you, but that doesn't mean I'll just hand over Mikoto!"

Chiba chuckled inwardly at Uchihabo's unusual "goodwill," which was exactly the effect he wanted.

For troublemakers like Uchiha Rinpoche, you can easily gain their approval by first conquering them with strength and then giving them enough face.

"I noticed that during our fight yesterday that you were using a long sword, but you didn't have a suitable one with you, right?"

With that, Uchiha Rin took off his sword and tossed it to Chiba with a flourish.

“If you do something wrong, you should be punished. Here, this knife of mine is not bad, I'll give it to you as an apology.”

Clang.

Chiba caught the long sword thrown by Uchiha Rinpo, drew it from its sheath, and a cold glint illuminated the somewhat dim room.

In the ninja village, money alone cannot buy a good sword. Some renowned swordsmiths only forge swords for members of the clan, and Chiba was too embarrassed to ask for help from Nawaki and others...

"It is indeed a good knife, but it looks somewhat familiar."

Chiba was delighted with the exquisitely crafted longsword. He sheathed it and murmured to himself with some delight.

At this moment, Fugaku's face darkened: "Rang, how could you give away the police department chief's sword?!"

"Oh, it's nothing."

Uchihachi waved his hand and said casually, "Clan leader, you can just have someone fix it for me later."

"Get lost, you little brat, you'll be using this to curry favor later!" Fugaku slapped Ryou in annoyance and scolded him with a laugh.

Although crafting this sword was quite expensive, it would be well worth the cost if it could erase the grudge in Chiba's heart.

"Hey, Chiba, if you ever get into trouble in the future, just say my name. I have plenty of connections in the police department."

Before leaving, Uchiha patted Chiba on the shoulder and said with great pride.

"Well, that's true, but wouldn't it be more effective if I just said Brother Fugaku's name?"

Upon hearing Chiba's words, Uchiha stumbled and nearly fell to the ground, quickly quickening his pace to leave.

Chiba chuckled to himself. You can't be too lenient with someone like Ryou; you have to keep pushing him around like this.

……

After seeing off Fugaku and his companion, they departed.

Just as Chiba was about to continue his training, the doorbell rang again.

"Might Guy, what brings you here?"

As soon as Chiba opened the door, Matt Day grabbed his hand anxiously and said, "Young man, I need your help!"

After the Chunin Exams, Konoha will soon face its second major event: the preliminary exams for the Ninja Academy.

To help his son avoid being nervous during the exam, Might Guy had taken him to the vicinity of the Ninja Academy for special training earlier.

"Youth is not to be wasted, Kai! Let's keep our passionate youth burning bright!"

"well!"

Led by Might Guy, two green-skinned men, one big and one small, walked upside down on the street in front of the Ninja Academy, leaving a handprint with each step and constantly sweating.

Bathed in the glow of the setting sun, the shadows of the two figures, struggling together, stretched long, and everything seemed so beautiful.

But just as he reached the street corner, Might Day suddenly ran into two teammates he had previously "tricked".

The moment they saw Matt Day, both of them flashed wicked smiles.

"Hey, isn't this the eternal genin? Instead of going to walk the cats and dogs, he's playing ninja games with his son again, haha!"

"What's the use of just exercising your body all day? You might as well exercise your brain instead, otherwise you'll just be a useless genin for the rest of your life."

"This is really a headache, if he even has a brain! Hahahaha!"

After saying that, the two of them burst into laughter, their sarcasm and disdain evident in their words.

"What are you two saying? You are not allowed to insult my father!!"

Might Guy's face turned red with anger. He flipped himself up and was about to rush up and fight the two men, but he was stopped by Might Day.

"Yoshi, thanks for the guidance!"

Might Guy held Guy down with one hand and gave the two ninjas a thumbs-up with the other, speaking from the bottom of his heart.

"What a coward, he doesn't even have the guts of his son."

"This is boring, let's go, time to do some quests..."

The two ninjas, having been turned away unhappily, muttered a few words of displeasure and turned to leave.

"Father, you're such a coward! No wonder you've been a low-level ninja your whole life!"

But Might Guy was equally ashamed and indignant. He shook off Might Day's hand, turned around and left angrily, refusing to listen to anything Might Day said.

"...Akai just felt he had lost face, and because of my terrible father, he lost confidence in becoming a ninja," Might Guy sighed.

"Matt Dai-senpai, what would you like me to do?"

After listening to Matt Dai's story, Chiba asked with some doubt, "I don't think I can be of any help with the matter between you and your son, can I?"

"You're a promising young man. I took Akai to watch your match yesterday, and he's been looking up to you as his role model these past few days!"

Might Guy quickly pleaded, "If Guy could receive encouragement from such an excellent ninja as you, he would surely rekindle the flame of youth!"

"Well... okay then."

Seeing Might Guy's earnest expression, Chiba found it hard to refuse.

He had been pondering these past few days how to obtain the later gates of the Eight Gates, so that if he were to actually encounter Madara Uchiha upon his return, he wouldn't even have the strength to fight him.

If I help Might Guy with this favor, then when I ask him to continue learning the Eight Gates, he probably won't refuse, right?

Yes, the Eight Gates side quest has been accepted!

"Uchiha Madara, you better not mess with me, or I might kick you to death one day!" Chiba thought fiercely.

Chapter 59 Opening Three Gates in Succession: Jiraiya's Problem

Evening, by the small river in front of Matt Day's house.

"Saying that youth is not to be desecrated is a complete lie. The flame of my youth has been extinguished!"

A small, green-skinned figure sat on the riverbank, throwing stones into the river with all his might, muttering angrily to himself.

"Kai, look who Daddy brought to see you!"
