The Upgrade of the Sexy Jutsu

The moment those words were spoken, the atmosphere at the scene froze.

Uzumaki Naruto's smug expression stiffened on his face, as if he could not quite tell whether it was praise or sarcasm.

The obvious teasing in those words left the teammates familiar with Tejima Shinichi's style stunned.

"Pfft—hahahaha!"

Kobayashi Ken was the first to lose it and burst out laughing.

Sato Yu hurriedly raised a hand to cover his mouth, but his shoulders still trembled uncontrollably. He was clearly trying to suppress his laughter.

It was their first time hearing Tejima Shinichi speak in such a tone.

Seeing this, Haruno Sakura immediately punched Uzumaki Naruto on the head.

"Idiot Naruto! Stop acting so pleased with yourself!"

Uzumaki Naruto clutched his head and crouched down.

"That hurt, Sakura! Why did you hit me again?!"

Yamato and Kakashi exchanged a glance.

Yamato looked somewhat helpless, while Kakashi's exposed eye curved slightly.

"Young people really are full of energy," Yamato said.

Kakashi nodded.

"Yeah."

He was about to say something else when a sharp eagle cry suddenly rang out from the sky.

The two looked up at the same time.

A Ninja Hawk circled overhead, letting out a clear, piercing cry.

Kakashi and Yamato's expressions both sharpened.

"Looks like an important notice has arrived," Kakashi said.

"Mm." Yamato nodded. "At this time, it can only be that matter!"

Kakashi turned to Team 7.

"Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke. Training is dismissed for this afternoon. You're free to do as you please."

The sudden change left Team 7 stunned.

At that moment, Yamato also spoke to Team 1.

"Looks like this afternoon's special training is canceled. You can arrange your own time as well."

Before anyone could react, the two Jonin vanished from where they stood.

Tejima Shinichi watched the Ninja Hawk fly away, his gaze shifting slightly.

"It's finally here."

Uzumaki Naruto scratched his head. "What's going on? Why did Kakashi suddenly leave?"

Haruno Sakura folded her arms. "It must be something important, idiot Naruto."

Once the two Jonin had left, Uchiha Sasuke focused all his attention on Tejima Shinichi and suddenly spoke.

"Shinichi."

"Yeah?"

Tejima Shinichi turned to look at him.

Uchiha Sasuke took two steps forward and stopped in front of Tejima Shinichi.

"It's been several months since our last fight. We happened to meet here today, and we both have time."

"Right here, right now, let's fight again."

Tejima Shinichi looked at him without answering immediately.

Seeing his attitude, Uchiha Sasuke gritted his teeth and said unwillingly, "I want to know how much the gap between our strengths has changed over these past few months!"

The moment they heard that, everyone else became interested.

Kobayashi Ken and Sato Yu exchanged a look, confidence written across their faces.

But... although they knew Tejima Shinichi's strength had always been unfathomable, they were curious about this as well.

After all, Tejima Shinichi and Uchiha Sasuke had competed for the position of Top Student for six whole years!

"So cool... Sasuke!"

Haruno Sakura cupped her face in both hands, gazing at Uchiha Sasuke with lovestruck eyes.

Yes, that's it! Sasuke, take him down!

When Uzumaki Naruto heard this and saw Uchiha Sasuke stealing the spotlight again, he immediately grew unhappy and shouted, "Wait! If anyone's challenging him, it should be me first!"

Ignoring Uchiha Sasuke's glare, he immediately leaped out and yelled at Tejima Shinichi, "Shinichi! Don't underestimate me! I'm not the dead last I used to be. I created a powerful ninjutsu! I've wanted to show it to you for a long time!"

Everyone present froze upon hearing that.

Kobayashi Ken and Sato Yu looked at Naruto in surprise, their faces full of doubt. They had been classmates with Naruto for years and simply could not imagine the dead-last Uzumaki Naruto knowing any powerful ninjutsu.

Even Uchiha Sasuke frowned, temporarily setting aside his dispute with Tejima Shinichi as he looked at Naruto skeptically.

Having been teammates for so long, aside from Shadow Clone and Multiple Shadow Clone, he truly had no idea what other powerful ninjutsu Naruto could know.

Haruno Sakura planted her hands on her hips and bluntly mocked him, "Naruto! Stop bragging! Since when did you learn a powerful ninjutsu?"

Faced with everyone's doubts, Uzumaki Naruto did not back down. Instead, he chuckled smugly, clearly enjoying being the center of attention.

"Heh heh, just watch!"

He announced loudly, then stepped forward and stood directly in front of Tejima Shinichi. His hands rapidly formed a seal.

"Watch this—Ninjutsu: Sexy Jutsu!"

Poof!

A cloud of white smoke burst forth. When it cleared, a flirtatious, completely naked blonde-haired beautiful girl stood where he had been, shooting Tejima Shinichi a seductive wink.

The scene fell silent.

Kobayashi Ken and Sato Yu widened their eyes and opened their mouths, instantly petrified.

Haruno Sakura's face flushed red with rage. Veins bulged on her forehead, and her clenched fists cracked loudly.

Uchiha Sasuke froze for a moment, then his young face reddened slightly as he turned away in disgust.

"What a pointless ninjutsu..."

To everyone's surprise, Tejima Shinichi did not show disgust or speechlessness like the others.

Instead, he crossed his arms and studied the naked blonde-haired woman before him with great interest.

"This is a technique that can even immobilize Kaguya... How can you say it isn't powerful?"

Still... this ninjutsu had plenty of room for improvement!

Thinking this, Tejima Shinichi stepped forward and raised a hand to smack the naked blonde-haired woman on the head.

With another poof, the smoke dispersed, and Uzumaki Naruto was crouching on the ground, clutching his head.

"Ow! Damn it, why didn't my ninjutsu work... Shinichi, are you even a man?!"

"Idiot." Tejima Shinichi frowned and snapped, "This ninjutsu does have its merits, but it simply won't work against enemies with strong wills!"

"How could that be?!" Naruto jumped up in protest. "Even the Third Grandpa couldn't resist this technique!"

Tejima Shinichi shook his head. "You've missed the point. The true value of the Sexy Jutsu does not lie in seduction through beauty, but in attacking the heart!"

"Attacking the heart?" Naruto froze. Kobayashi Ken and Sato Yu looked at each other, and even Uchiha Sasuke wore a puzzled expression.

Without saying more, Tejima Shinichi formed hand seals and created a Shadow Clone.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the Shadow Clone instantly transformed—into Haruno Sakura wearing a pure white wedding dress, holding flowers in her hands and smiling brilliantly at Naruto.

"Naruto..."

Beneath the sunlight, Wedding Dress Sakura called softly, her voice so gentle it seemed ready to melt.

"Ah...?!"

Uzumaki Naruto instantly froze in place. His entire face turned crimson as he stared fixedly at Haruno Sakura before him, even forgetting to breathe!

She really was... like a girl descended from God!

The scene fell into dead silence.

Kobayashi Ken and Sato Yu were dumbfounded once again.

Uchiha Sasuke's pupils contracted slightly, and a rare expression of surprise appeared on his face.

Haruno Sakura was stunned at first, then her entire face reddened as she trembled with rage. "Shi! Ni! Chi! How could you use my appearance... That's too much!!!"

"Do you see now?" Tejima Shinichi dispelled the Shadow Clone and explained. "Everyone has someone they care about. When that person appears in an unexpected way, even a momentary lapse in focus becomes a fatal opening in battle!"

He looked at the still-dazed Naruto, then swept his gaze over the shocked crowd.

"The true Sexy Jutsu requires seeing into the softest corner of your opponent's heart. Use the image they cherish most, the scene they desire most, and present it at the most unexpected moment. That is far more effective than simple seduction through beauty."

Haruno Sakura was too furious to speak, and could only glare fiercely at Naruto.

Uchiha Sasuke lowered his head in apparent realization, as though he were thinking of something.

"Catch them off guard and throw their mind into chaos. How is that not a powerful ninjutsu?!"
