Naruto

Outside the Kanurigan Snack Shop in Konoha Village, Naruto was wearing casual clothes, with his head lowered, sitting on a bench, holding a bag of yokan made of red bean paste, chestnuts and arrowroot powder in his right hand, and stuffing the yokan into his mouth piece by piece in his left hand.

, if anyone saw his eyes at this time, they would be surprised to find that his pupils had elongated into a vertical line.

"Kuro Lama, have you eaten? After we finish eating, let's go to the next restaurant." In the mental space, Naruto raised his head and said to Kyuubi, who was as big as a tall building.

"Hmm - don't you hate sweets? Why are you so proactive this time?" Kyuubi turned his head and asked curiously.

"I am going to Miaomu Mountain to practice this time. I don't know how long it will take. I may not have any sweets during this period. I have wronged you for a while, so you can consider this as a little compensation." Naruto explained.

Kyuubi suddenly remembered that since Naruto accidentally learned that he likes sweets when he was three years old, he would spend a small part of his monthly living expenses on sweets, and would pretend to enjoy himself in front of everyone. Even Kazuo

Cassie thought that his favorite thing besides ramen was all kinds of desserts. Only in the spiritual space would he reveal his true preferences.

Kyuubi thought this in his heart, but replied: "Do you think this can compensate me? Do you know that I hate those toads who play tricks on me the most?"

"I'm sorry, Nine Lamas. You used to be free and unrestrained, but now you have to stay in my body and can't go anywhere. Whatever you want to eat or see, I will try my best to satisfy you in the future.

.If you are really unhappy, just give me a good beating to vent your anger, but I have to go to Mt. Miaomu." Naruto stood in front of Kyuubi and whispered.

The last soft but tough words made Kyuubi a little angry. He raised his front paws and slapped Naruto down in the water. He slapped him hard with his tail, and soon he was covered in bruises. The latter closed his eyes.

, his teeth were clenched, his veins were exposed, and he silently endured the burning pain caused by each blow. After the beating lasted for five minutes, Naruto didn't feel the next attack for a long time, opened his eyes, and asked weakly

He said, "Are you relieved of your anger?"

Although this method of calming down was silly, it was also a helpless move. Since the Nine-Tails was sealed into his body, as Kushina and Minato manifested their bodies, the seal was loosened, and the Nine-Tails chakra swallowed and assimilated the two.

The threat was always there. Naruto had no power at that time,

When there was no other way, they could only threaten him with their own lives to make him stop corroding Minato and Kushina, at the cost of becoming Kyuubi's punching bag. Naturally, Minato and his wife were extremely opposed to this approach, but they couldn't help it.

Naruto's stubborn temper.

"Hmph," Kyuubi put his head on his front paws, closed his eyes, and muttered, "Forget it, this is your body anyway, you can go wherever you want."

Naruto struggled to stand up, moved his mental body, walked to Kyuubi, and said: "Thank you, Kyuubi. I know you have always felt suffocated in my body, although I couldn't when I was alive.

No matter what I change, but before I die, I will definitely release you from my body and set you free. I will also work hard to convince others so that they can coexist peacefully with you."

It was the first time that Kyuubi heard such a promise from Naruto, and he raised his head in surprise. Seeing the determined expression on the latter's face, he lay on the ground and said, "Let's wait until you grow up to talk about that kind of thing.

"

"Yeah, haha...hiss-!" Naruto touched the back of his head and giggled a few times, but accidentally touched his own wound. He took a breath of cold air and started to use simple medical ninjutsu to relieve pain and stop the bleeding.

.

"You really never hate

Can you pass me?" Kyuubi suddenly asked in a low voice.

"I myself have tasted the feeling of loneliness. I dare not say that I can completely understand you, but it is not difficult to imagine what it would be like to be locked in the body of an enemy for decades and having chakra extracted every day. If you could

It's not a bad thing for me to have decades of bad energy coming out of me. After all, friends have to help each other, right? I just happen to be more resistant to beatings and won't be broken by you, haha." Naruto said while using

He used healing techniques to treat the wounds on his legs while smiling.

"..." Kyuubi remained silent.

"Actually, I'm not much better than the people before me. I always ask you for chakra and fight in battles that have nothing to do with you. You didn't refuse my request and even talked to me. What reason do I have?

Do I have a grudge against you?" Naruto continued.

Kyuubi looked at the dark red blood marks on Naruto's wheat-colored skin, and suddenly felt a strong blockage in his heart.

From the previous battle with Shukaku, Kyuubi saw clearly that with Naruto's current attainments in the sealing technique, he could forcibly extract his chakra while easily suppressing himself. But he did not do so, and

He gave himself the right to choose. Not only that, he also lowered his stance extremely low and allowed himself to be beaten and scolded without ever fighting back, just because he regarded himself as a "friend".

What reason did I have to vent my previous hatred on him? He was his own prison, wasn't he the source of all the misfortunes in his childhood?

In the mental space, after Naruto finished treating his injuries, he saw that Kyuubi had not responded and asked cautiously: "Did something I just said make you unhappy again?"

When Kyuubi saw his anxious look, he felt more and more uncomfortable, but his words remained indifferent: "No."

Naruto breathed a sigh of relief and said briskly: "Then I will continue to look for the next dessert shop! Then remember to connect my five senses and taste it carefully." After saying that, he waved his hand and the figure left the mental space.

disappeared.

After watching him leave, Kyuubi looked at the water in front of him that was stained reddish with blood, recalling every detail of his relationship with Naruto over the past thirteen years.

For some reason, Kyuubi actually hoped for the first time that the day when he would regain his freedom would come as late as possible.

An hour later, Naruto ate at all the dessert shops in Konoha Village, condensed a water ball to rinse his mouth, and walked on the street with his hands in his trouser pockets. Suddenly, he saw three people walking towards him.

A familiar figure greeted me warmly: "Ya, Shikamaru, Choji, you are all here."

"Naruto, you're actually here! Let me ask you, why did you quit the last Chunin Exam without taking part?" Kiba didn't greet him, but rushed directly in front of him and asked loudly.

Naruto saw Kiba and Akamaru hiding in his coat looking menacing. He took a step back, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and waved his hands to explain: "I got into a little trouble at the time, and I was lecherous... uh, since

Laiya-sama left the village together, it was not my intention to quit!"

"Jiraiya-sama? Who is that?" Ya's attention was attracted by this fresh name.

"He is..."

"The women in this village are still so strong, but that's what I like about them, hehe." A certain white-haired old pervert flew from outside the wall to the four of them and sat on the ground with a bright red mark on his left cheek.

Palm print.

"...See for yourselves." Naruto, who wanted to brag a lot, covered his face with his left hand, pointed at the person with his right hand, and said helplessly.

"He seems to be just a perverted old man with messy hair..." Ya stepped forward,

He looked at the visitor and twitched his nose, but he didn't seem to smell anything special.

"I heard that Jiraiya was one of the legendary three ninjas, and he has been performing intelligence gathering tasks outside of Konoha Village for a long time." Shikamaru said uncertainly, recalling the information he had read.

"That's right, young man, you have a bright future." Jiraiya suddenly appeared behind Shikamaru, patted him on the shoulder and gave him a thumbs up.

"It's so fast, you can't see it clearly with the naked eye. This lecherous old man is really not simple..." This thought flashed through the minds of Kiba, Shikamaru, and Choji at the same time. Choji even picked up the potato in his hand.

The movie stopped.

"What an honor, you lustful sage, to have happened upon the scene where you took the material." Naruto looked at the palm prints on Jiraiya's face and said with a smile.

"Whose yellow-haired brat is this? Go away quickly." Jiraiya looked disgusted and waved his left hand like he was shooing away flies.

"Hey, hey, hey, lecherous immortal, your Alzheimer's disease struck too early, don't you remember me so soon?" Naruto's smile stiffened, he waved his fist, said angrily, and then said to the three

The person introduced: "What Shikamaru said just now is right. This is Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas. He is also my mentor who has guided me in my practice recently."

Naruto meant this "teacher" sincerely. Except for spiritualism, although Jiraiya could teach Naruto basically nothing in terms of combat, he could teach Naruto in terms of other non-combat qualities and codes of conduct of ninjas.

People have benefited a lot, such as how to choose the location of the camping site, how to dive

Is it easy to be discovered? What rules should be followed when encountered by peers when performing tasks? How should one act when an ordinary person is offended? etc. There are also techniques such as changing the voice, smell, adjusting heartbeat and breathing rate, etc.

There are even wedding and funeral etiquette, and precautions for welcoming guests.

"What, your master?" Ya looked at Jiraiya with wide eyes and shouted in disbelief.

"So you also have a master? I thought you were self-taught." Shikamaru commented lazily.

"Naruto, your master must be very strong." Choji sighed while chewing his soup-flavored potato chips. Naruto is still secretly amazed by his superb skill of using one mouthful at a time.

When Jiraiya heard the praises from everyone, every cell in his body seemed to have been soaked in the hot spring. Even the place where he was slapped by the young lady didn't hurt so much: "Ahem, yes, I am Toad Sage.

Jiraiya."

"I really don't want to remind you, but the telescope you used for peeping is about to fall out of your pocket." Naruto crossed his arms and said helplessly, and then he was knocked on the forehead, "Ouch!"

"This is collecting information, not peeping! Okay, I'm going to continue collecting information. Naruto, you and your friends can play by yourself." Jiraiya hurriedly put away the telescope, and disappeared in front of everyone in a flash.

In front of you.

"Your master is really...a personality." Shikamaru was stunned for a moment and said to Naruto.

"Yes, he is indeed a very special ninja." Naruto chuckled.

"What are your plans next?" Ya looked at the back of Jiraiya leaving gracefully, turned his head and asked Naruto.

"I will go to Miaomu Mountain to practice for a while with the lustful sage." Naruto put his hands in his pockets and replied.

"...You really work hard." Shikamaru sighed.

"A storm sweeping across the ninja world is about to come, Shikamaru, none of us can survive alone." Naruto said with a heavy face, remembering the information about the Hidden Rain Village he heard from Kakashi two days ago.
