Naruto's Vacation

After being struck by Raiga Kurosuki's lightning Ninjutsu, in the last second before losing consciousness, Tenten saw a straight line in the white mist before her eyes closed.

At its peak, the Nine-Tails' Chakra, at its most powerful form, surged with 73% of its energy, boiling like crimson magma, instantly dispelling the thick fog with its intense heat.

Like a distorted funhouse mirror, a thick white fog surged outwards like an avalanche. In an instant, the world turned into a blood-and-fire hell, with high-pitched and crisp explosions rising one after another.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Naruto appeared in front of Raiga Kurosuki, like a cannonball, instantly tearing through the white mist without holding back.

The immense impact leveled the small rocky slope completely. Even so, Naruto didn't forget his traditional skill of finishing off the enemy.

The white mist had been dispelled, and Naruto, who was wearing a Tailed Beast Cloak but had not become a heretic, raised his fist and pressed down on the dying Raiga Kurosuki and Ranmaru behind him, whose eyes were filled with fear.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The fist, imbued with the Nine-Tails' chakra, was like a giant's hammer, causing the ground to collapse. Raiga Kurosuki and Ranmaru with the Red Eye behind him instantly fell apart and were physically exterminated.

All their sins and killings were instantly purified; without any Talk no Jutsu, they returned to the Pure Land along with the villagers they had buried alive.

"Call!"

He exhaled a long breath, and the Tailed Beast Cloak vanished into nothingness, leaving the surroundings deathly silent.

[The Kurotsuchi Raiga's Funeral has been successfully held, and his demotion to a lower-level position has been completed.]

"Naruto, how did you find the enemy's location?"

After completing their mission, Naruto and Team 3 were on their way home when Tenten asked him something with some curiosity.

"Release your Chakra to sense the outside world, hide your location, and then..." Naruto scratched his face, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "It's actually a gamble."

"The situation was a bit urgent at the time, and I didn't have time to say much to you."

"The mission is complete." Neji walked ahead without turning his head, his face expressionless. "Anyway, thank you, Naruto."

Tsk, still a proud and arrogant one.

It doesn't matter, Naruto doesn't care, he just feels like he didn't earn much from this trip.

Although he collected the Ninja Blade, Raiga Kurosuki was indeed a weakling, an old man who couldn't even hold a sword steadily. The system even gave him the reward of carrying Black Hoe Carries the Coffin.

This is truly outrageous.

However, with the death of this last survivor of the "Lucky Three" who would forever live under Might Duy's feet, the first generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist have officially come to an end.

Rock Lee's eyes shone with a clear sense of foolishness as he stared at Naruto.

"How did you do that?"

"What? How did you do that?"

"Such a huge crater, it must have been made by some kind of powerful Taijutsu. I've looked at it, and it doesn't look like the mark made by Ninjutsu at all," Rock Lee said excitedly.

"It's just Ninjutsu. What Taijutsu do I know? I haven't even mastered the Eight Inner Gates. I gave up after one day of training last time."

"All right."

"Um... did we forget something?" Tenten stopped and asked.

"No, I don't think so." Naruto turned around and glanced at Tenten sideways.

His gaze was strange at that moment; his blue pupils were an intense, almost supernatural blue, and he glanced at people sideways. It seemed casual, yet it carried an extremely strong sense of pressure.

His words seemed to be beyond question, and coupled with his somewhat humble profile, they felt particularly incongruous.

Tenten, the hairs on his body stood on end, and he swallowed hard.

Even though she remembered the three clients who had been tied up in the curry shop, she could only smile awkwardly at Naruto's gaze before quickly lowering her head again.

The smile vanished the moment he lowered his head, and he couldn't help but think to himself, "This person is a bit scary."

It took them another five days to return to Konohagakure from the Land of Rivers.

Taking into account the round trip and the time spent on the mission, it was already mid-October when the four of them returned to the Hokage Building to report back.

The hot weather is gradually fading, and there is a noticeable temperature difference between day and night. It would be a bit chilly to walk your bird in the living room without any clothes on, as autumn is in full swing.

First, he cooperated with Team Eight to complete the mission of obtaining the Scent-Tracking Bug, and then he cooperated with Team 3 to complete the mission of expelling the Clover Gold Mine Mountain in the Land of Rivers. After that, Naruto got a precious vacation time.

So it's Naruto's vacation?

The Konohagakure Ten were all on missions during their long break, and even Team 3 received an urgent assignment. He had planned to go to Tanzaku Town, but Tsunade refused him outright.

The village has a ton of backlogged tasks, and they just told you to rest for a few days, not to go off and have fun, and so on and so forth.

When Tsunade spoke, the dango shook so violently that Naruto had to look up at the ceiling to hear what she was saying.

"Why aren't you looking at me?" Tsunade frowned.

"My neck is sore; it's been like this since I woke up this morning."

"Tsk."

That single word was extremely insulting. Naruto left the Hokage's Office with a livid face and spent the whole day at home.

Nine-Tails got completely drunk in the middle of the night and started howling. Naruto woke up groggily and went to the kitchen to get some water. Nine-Tails forced himself to open his eyes and insisted on putting on a show of tearing Uchiha Madara.

Naruto ignored it and snapped his fingers to force it to shut down.

With its power completely under its control, Nine-Tails fell into a deep sleep. When it woke up the next day, it had no memory of what had happened the day before. Naruto raised his eyebrows and began to act like a monster.

"You did a backflip last night."

"Damn it! You scum! You actually tricked me into doing that kind of thing!"

"You turned it yourself, don't blame it on me!"

"What? You want those two women to know that you're always thinking about using backflips to lure them to your door?"

"So you want them to know that you can really do a backflip?"

"Impossible! I would never do something so stupid that only a dog would do! I would never help you get close to a human woman!"

"You're nothing but a dog now."

"You bastard!!! I'll kill you!" The Nine-Tails- Tails lunged at Naruto.

The man and the dog wrestled together, each taking a punch to the face. Naruto didn't use his control abilities; adhering to the principle of not destroying the house, they fought back and forth, one punch and the other claw.

Just as the battle was raging, the doorbell rang.

The man and the dog froze instantly. Naruto immediately rolled off the floor, covered in wounds, and rolled to the inside of the door, where he drew the Kusanagi Sword.

Nine-Tails's eyes were swollen, and it was baring its teeth at the door.

The doorbell rang for ages but no one answered. Naruto's sword was practically pressed against the doorknob when suddenly the sound of keys rattling came from outside.

Naruto immediately realized what was happening and instantly returned the Kusanagi Sword to its Sealing Space.

The key was inserted into the lock, turned, and the door opened. Ino stared in disbelief at Naruto was covered in scratches.

Also, but don't wait, you should be able to see it when you wake up tomorrow morning.
