Naruto: I, Naruto, don't want to try anymore.

Chapter 85 Rhetoric

Nighttime, Sasuke's house.

"Mom, I'm back, and Master is here too."

"Has Naruto arrived?"

Itachi came out of the room, saw the two of them, and smiled knowingly.

"Nisan!"

Sasuke was delighted to see Itachi at home, but remembering that Naruto was nearby, he quickly put on a cool and aloof expression.

"Sorry to bother you."

Naruto nodded slightly, took off his shoes, and went inside.

"I got back a little late today. I was thinking of bringing you some food later."

Mikoto carried the dishes out of the kitchen, smiling, and said, "How was Sasuke's training today? Did you listen to your master properly?"

"I learned a new skill today."

Sasuke looked smug, and only then did the two notice how dirty he was.

"New technique?"

"Rasengan."

"oh--"

Itachi suddenly realized, "Sasuke, you're quite impressive to have mastered the Rasengan at this age."

"I was supposed to need to train for a while longer, but I've activated the Three Tomoe, which greatly enhances the effect of my clone eye. I'm just copying my master's style..."

Sasuke kept a straight face, acting as if it were nothing to worry about, and casually announced the fact that he had awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan.

"Is that so..."

Itachi smiled. He had taken Naruto's pills before, which had the effect of enhancing eye power, so he wasn't surprised at all.

In his view, although Sasuke lacked combat awareness and comprehension, his talent was actually superior to his.

"The Fourth Hokage's signature ninjutsu..."

Mikoto seemed to remember something, her gaze softening: "Such a precious ninjutsu..."

"It's just a temporary attack method. This technique isn't suitable for Sasuke; his talent lies in Lightning Release."

"Master, what will we learn next? The Rasengan?" Sasuke asked impatiently.

"No…"

Naruto shook his head. Although the Rasengan was powerful, it was actually just an artificial Tailed Beast Ball.

Moreover, the Rasengan is just a beginner's technique. Advanced ninjutsu like the Rasenshuriken and Rasengan Rinnegan are generally beyond the reach of most people.

With Sasuke's chakra reserves, he simply doesn't have enough to learn the Rasenshuriken technique, unless he's given a tailed beast...

How about we put Pikachu inside Sasuke's belly?

From now on, when Sasuke activates Tailed Beast Mode: One punch, Pikachu!

The thought of that scene is hilarious...

However, Naruto dismissed the idea, as a Jinchuriki would die if his chakra was extracted.

Naruto's current mastery of Yin-Yang Release is enough to revive Sasuke, but if he's not around, Sasuke will truly be dead.

Even with Pikachu's dozen or so chakra, Sasuke's fighting power couldn't undergo a qualitative change; instead, it created an additional weakness.

"I will teach you Lightning Release Chakra Mode."

"This technique..."

Itachi hesitated, "If I remember correctly, this technique, while not difficult to learn, is a secret ninjutsu passed down within the village, right?"

"It's alright, my older brother won't mind."

"The village's higher-ups..."

"They wouldn't dare to mind."

Naruto said nonchalantly, "Kumakuha is different from Konoha. Here, only the Raikage has the final say."

Kumogakure is called a ninja village, but it's actually more like a mafia. The boss's words and brotherhood are more important than rules.

Although he resorts to theft and robbery against outsiders, Ai is also a man of principle.

In the original story, Kakashi mentions the matter of stealing bloodline limits from the Hidden Cloud Village, hoping that A would carefully consider Naruto's request and spare Sasuke.

Although A did not agree, he was indeed swayed and instead persuaded Naruto to give up his naivety. After finding Killer Bee, the matter was dropped.

"Furthermore, there are no so-called high-ranking officials in Kumogakure; there are only advisors here. While it cannot be said that darkness is completely eliminated, something like what happened in Konoha will never happen."

"Konoha..."

Itachi said with a hint of wistfulness, "Naruto has completely integrated into Kumogakure."

"No, no, no."

Naruto shook his head: "From beginning to end, it has only been my Cloud Village. As long as I am here, the Uchiha incident will never happen again."

"Because strictly speaking, everything in this village belongs to me. This is the relationship of need between me and Yunyin. It's not that I need Yunyin, but that Yunyin needs me."

"It's a matter of need... Father said something similar back then, but... there's nothing wrong with that."

Itachi smiled; he no longer held the naive ideas he once had about his family and village.

When Fugaku was mentioned, Mikoto's expression darkened.

Under the table, Sasuke nudged Naruto and gave him a wink.

Naruto realized Mikoto's state and quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, Aunt Mikoto."

Naruto smiled and took out a pill: "Did you take the pill from last time? My Chakra Pill has the effect of activating cells; taking it regularly can help you stay young forever!"

"To stay young forever?"

Mikoto's attention was immediately drawn to it.

Sure enough, no matter the world, there are only a few words that can instantly attract a woman's attention: youth, young, weight loss, shopping...

Sasuke looked puzzled: "I've been wanting to ask this before, where did this pill come from?"

"Refined from my chakra, it has a high level of life and contains the power to open your eyes."

Naruto explained, "Let alone maintaining youth, as long as you have enough chakra, you can even achieve immortality. The most precious ability of these eyes is to achieve evolution at the level of life."

"This amount of chakra isn't even enough to fill my teeth, so feel free to take it. If you can accept it, I can even refine you into a chakra fruit, thereby granting you more bloodline limits..."

"Never mind... never mind."

Sasuke's eye twitched. He was fine with chakra pills, but he couldn't quite accept the idea of ​​refining living people.

Turning my head, I saw that my mother had already taken the pill…

"You definitely look younger..."

Although Sasuke didn't notice any difference, he still pretended to be surprised in order to make Mikoto happy.

"Mom, the wrinkles around your eyes are gone!"

Upon hearing Sasuke's words, Mikoto slowly turned her head and looked at Sasuke with a smile.

"My mom is only in her early thirties, and she doesn't have any wrinkles around her eyes to begin with!"

For some reason, that usually gentle smile sent a chill down Sasuke's spine.

"Actually, Aunt Mikoto doesn't look old at all; she looks like she's in her early twenties."

Naruto chuckled and said, "If it weren't for its skin-firming and anti-aging effects, this pill wouldn't have worked on Aunt Mikoto."

One sentence made Mikoto cover her mouth and chuckle: "Naruto, you really know how to talk, don't you? Do you often make girls happy?"

"How could that be?"

Naruto looked wronged: "What I said was clearly the truth..."

"Sasuke should learn from you in this regard. Itachi, too, is such a grown man and doesn't know how to please a girl at all."

Mikoto laughed even harder: "My relationship with Izumi has always been ambiguous; I've never brought him back..."

"I'm stuffed."

Itachi silently put down his rice bowl and fled in panic.

"whispering sound…"

Sasuke pursed his lips. He had thought that Naruto's smooth talk could comfort his mother, but why was he being dragged into this?

And then there's that woman, Izumi, who's always trying to steal my brother-in-law's thunder...

Seeing Itachi run away after being teased, Mikoto turned to Sasuke: "Sasuke—"

"I'm full too!"

Sasuke put down his rice bowl and hurried back to his room.

"Really, those two kids..."

Mikoto sighed helplessly, then rested her chin on her hand and smiled at Naruto: "So, Naruto, do you have a girl you like? Ino? Karin? Or Koyuki?"

"Yeah, I feel like everyone my age is so immature..."

Naruto pondered seriously, then revealed a smile as bright as a little sun.

"Thinking about it carefully, I really am more attracted to a mature and gentle beauty like Aunt Mikoto."

"Oh dear, boys like Naruto who know how to talk are definitely cuter..."

Mikoto covered her mouth and chuckled softly, touching her cheek, and surprisingly felt a little embarrassed.

"Since you're so good with words, I'll cook you a big meal tomorrow! Remember to come early!"

"Really? That's great..."

"Tsk..."

Inside the room, Sasuke, who was eavesdropping, curled his lip.

I still can't stand this guy's glib tongue.

But for my mom's sake, I won't hold it against him...
