Meeting Naruto

"You know, lately I've met a big brother who's about the same age as Brother Yashui," Konohamaru said, hanging his head. "About a month ago, when I heard the news that Brother Yashui could graduate early, I felt a bit jealous in my heart."

"Because we've been together since we were small, and we did everything together. Why did the gap between us become so wide after entering the Ninja Academy..." Konohamaru said sheepishly. "I also know that Brother Yashui needs to train, and I didn't want Brother Yashui to waste his training time on me."

"Jealousy is a common emotion; you just have to turn that jealousy into the motivation for your training." Yashui smiled as he looked at Konohamaru. Konohamaru was still young, yet his seemingly innocent words always managed to touch upon profound truths. Just taking jealousy as an example, it was precisely because Sasuke couldn't control this emotion that he became a missing-nin.

"Brother Yashui, after that day, I challenged Grandpa even more frequently. That was when I met Brother Naruto." Once Konohamaru started talking about Naruto, he became unstoppable. "Brother Naruto isn't as strong as Brother Yashui, but he always tells me many useful truths. He even took me to peek at... and taught me the Sexy Jutsu..."

Konohamaru said so much about Naruto that Naruto's status in his heart had reached a level bordering on godhood. No matter the subject, Konohamaru would always start with, "Brother Naruto said..." and so on.

Listening to Konohamaru, Yashui became increasingly interested in Naruto. In Yashui's eyes, Naruto's performance in the early stages wasn't great; it wasn't until the battle against Pain after Jiraiya's death that Naruto slowly began to mature.

After the battle with Pain, it was as if Naruto had changed his personality; he began to think about peace and war like a philosopher.

Yashui felt that such a sudden change in character was a bit jarring. But hearing Konohamaru speak, Yashui began to think that perhaps Naruto was a child who possessed great wisdom hidden behind a foolish exterior. He might not be very clever, but he understood many profound truths.

Perhaps this was something only those who had been treated differently for a long time could truly understand.

"Konohamaru, take me to see Naruto tomorrow," Yashui said with a smile. "Since Naruto has been so good to you, I, as your brother, should go and thank him in person."

"Okay!" Konohamaru agreed immediately.

To be able to make Konohamaru admire him so thoroughly, and to be able to gather a whole group of friends in Konoha—Naruto's emotional intelligence was no joke. His future success as Hokage wasn't just due to "cheats" and the protagonist's halo; his own abilities played a huge part.

Another night passed. The day after tomorrow was the Ninja Academy exam.

Today, Yashui and Konohamaru had agreed to go and meet Naruto.

However, something felt a bit off. Wasn't Naruto supposed to meet Konohamaru only after he graduated? And in the original work, was there really a month of time for self-study before the graduation exam? Could it be that Yashui had entered a fake Naruto world?

Forget it; since things had already happened, there was no point in dwelling on them.

After Konohamaru and Yashui finished breakfast, Yashui first went to buy a large bag of snacks, intending to give them to Naruto later.

Then, under Konohamaru's lead, the two went together to the "old spot" where Konohamaru and Naruto had arranged to meet. This "old spot" was in a small grove, the same place where Konohamaru and Yashui met every time.

When Konohamaru arrived, Naruto was already there "training" by himself.

"Wait..." Yashui looked at the naked beauty before him, and a nosebleed began to flow.

Yashui told himself to stay calm. The naked beauty in front of him was Naruto! How could he be interested in a man! But from another perspective, Naruto's Sexy Jutsu was truly exquisite!

Many posts online claimed that Masashi Kishimoto couldn't draw beautiful women, and that all the girls were nowhere near as elegant as those in romance manga.

The views in those posts were completely wrong.

Who said Masashi Kishimoto couldn't draw beautiful women? Had they counted Naruto's Sexy Jutsu? Naruto's Sexy Jutsu was the most beautiful woman in Naruto! Fight me on this!

The beauty before him had a curvaceous figure, and the three whisker marks on her cheeks satisfied the psychological needs of those with a beast-girl fetish. Furthermore, the long twin-tails were an extra point of cuteness!

A beauty with this appearance was simply a lethal weapon aimed at men with all sorts of different preferences! If Naruto hadn't conducted an incredibly detailed market survey, it would have been impossible for him to transform into such a cute girl!

"Truly worthy of Uzumaki Naruto!" Yashui applauded. "Your Sexy Jutsu is indeed impressive."

After saying this, Yashui wiped away his nosebleed.

"Brother Naruto." Konohamaru also emerged from the bushes.

Upon seeing Konohamaru, Naruto first greeted him warmly. Then, he saw Yashui beside Konohamaru and looked at him with full hostility.

"Who are you?" Naruto's gaze was filled with hostility; he had suffered enough discrimination since he was a child. His current look was the same one he gave those who always discriminated against him and isolated him.

"I am Konohamaru's brother, my name is Sarutobi Yashui. I'm a junior at the Ninja Academy, one year below you." Yashui handed the large bag of snacks in his hand to Naruto. "Thank you for taking care of Konohamaru during this time. My little brother has been a burden to you."

Faced with Yashui's politeness, Naruto's attitude softened slightly. When he saw the snacks in Yashui's hand, Naruto's drool began to flow.

"Hey, I'm asking, I'm asking, are these snacks for me?" Naruto was an orphan who had lived on welfare since he was small, and he rarely had the chance to eat snacks.

"Yes, they are all for you," Yashui said with a smile. These snacks had cost almost all of Yashui's pocket money. Yashui wasn't worried, though; after all, once he became a Genin in a while, he could start earning money.

"Ahhh, that... I... can I really eat them?" Naruto asked uncertainly.

"Of course. This is just a small token of my appreciation," Yashui nodded.

Hearing Yashui's words, Naruto carefully tore open a bag of puffed snacks and grabbed a few pieces to put in his mouth. After eating the first piece, he couldn't stop; Naruto stuffed the snacks into his mouth without any regard for his image, all while saying things like "delicious."

"Sorry... I... except for Iruka-sensei, no one has ever bought me anything to eat..." Naruto said while eating, his mouth full of food, making his speech unclear.

Naruto was truly a pitiful child. For an orphan like him who had rarely enjoyed the treatment of an ordinary child, as long as you gave him a little kindness, he would follow your words obediently. Mizuki had also used this point to trick Naruto into stealing the Scroll of Sealing.

"Brother Naruto, eat the snacks when you get home... I want to learn ninjutsu." Konohamaru tugged at the corner of Naruto's shirt, shaking it.

"Wait... let me finish eating..."

"Training" with Naruto and Konohamaru wasn't without its results.
