You're Too Young to Lead Konohamaru Astray

Naruto's eyes lit up.

Holy crap! It's actually real!

The reputation of Kakashi is truly useful.

Just by mentioning it, he could bluff the female shopkeeper.

"What's up? Are you and Kakashi-sensei close?"

Naruto asked with a look of confusion.

Hmm... I'm just playing dumb after getting a good deal.

Eh... it's just for fun.

On the other hand, he also wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about Kakashi.

The anime described very little.

Naruto was referring to his daily habits and such.

That guy Kishimoto basically glossed over all of it.

But this is the real world now.

He had to understand at least a little bit.

So he could know his enemy and himself, and make it easier to scam Kakashi next time...

Pah! I mean, make it easier to continue using Kakashi's name to show off in public.

The female shopkeeper smiled and nodded, admitting it.

"That's right~ Every time Jiraiya releases a new work, Mr. Kakashi Hatake is always the first to come to our shop to buy it."

"Not only that, he has a significant amount of money deposited with us."

"He said that in case he's away on a mission and can't make it back in time for the release of Jiraiya's new work."

"He paid us in advance and insisted that we must save a copy for him."

Oh???

Naruto had expected this.

After all, he was a transmigrator.

And he was well-versed in every major and minor plot point of Naruto.

Who would have thought that the usually stern Copy Ninja of Konoha, whose name alone could scare disobedient brats and make most ninjas from neighboring villages tremble in fear, was actually a super pervert.

Hmm... as expected.

He wondered what kind of interesting expressions those people would have if they found out.

Naruto didn't even need to guess; he knew just by thinking about it.

They would definitely be shocked!

"Then, about that book I mentioned earlier, do you still have any here?"

Naruto asked with a smile.

The expression on his face was innocent and naive.

It was even a little cute.

Uh... at least in the eyes of the female shopkeeper.

What a well-behaved child.

Ever since he learned about his background.

It was as if he had become a different person.

He was no longer mischievous or causing trouble.

"We do. Whenever there's a new book by Jiraiya, we usually set aside a few extra copies, just in case Mr. Kakashi asks for them."

"Wait here for a moment, little Naruto, I'll go get them for you."

The female shopkeeper said gently.

"Okay." Naruto replied politely.

Before long.

The female shopkeeper hurried out, carrying a stack of books.

"Little Naruto, you're so lucky. There are exactly ten of Jiraiya's books left here."

"Eh, what are you doing?"

The female shopkeeper's willow-leaf brows furrowed.

Looking at the gold coins Naruto held out in his hand.

He was puzzled.

"This is money for the books," Naruto replied.

"No need. Mr. Kakashi still has money deposited with us; it's more than enough to cover these books."

The female shopkeeper answered truthfully.

Awkward.

So damn awkward.

Before the truth could come out.

Naruto hurriedly withdrew the money and stuffed it into his pocket.

"Is that so... then I'll go back and tell Kakashi-sensei."

Sorry, Kakashi.

Not only did I use your name to buy books.

But I also used your money.

To handle my own business.

Don't blame me when you find out.

Consider it a form of compensation for my childhood.

As she prepared to hand the books over to Naruto.

The female shopkeeper paused, adding a worried instruction.

"Make sure you deliver them to Mr. Kakashi properly. You aren't allowed to take them out and peek on the way!"

"Don't worry, beautiful and charming shopkeeper-sister. I promise I won't peek..."

As if!

I'm going to tear open the packaging and start reading the moment I step outside.

Naruto didn't think he was lying.

He just hadn't finished his sentence.

Besides, it was a tactful thing to say.

Speaking tactfully was about saving face for both parties.

Once I leave, you won't be able to control me anyway.

Having been showered with heavy praise once more.

The female shopkeeper felt delighted and handed the books to Naruto with peace of mind.

"Little Naruto, your mouth is so sweet. Eh... why didn't I notice you were so charming before?"

"That's because we didn't know each other well enough..."

Naruto grinned, his smile innocent and guileless.

"Ah~ is that so..."

"Alright, sister, I have things to do, so I'll be going now. You keep busy."

"Slow down, be careful not to trip... Oh, this child. But looking at it another way, it's not a bad thing for a kid to be energetic."

Stepping out of the bookstore.

Naruto found a quiet, secluded spot.

To read.

Mm... I, Naruto, am just that diligent and eager to learn!

He tore open the packaging.

What came into view was a book with a pink cover.

As the saying goes, the pinker the cover, the more suspicious the contents.

Naruto opened the book, first glancing at the preface.

Then he took a look at the table of contents.

"Hmm... this is quite interesting..."

The content inside the book piqued his curiosity.

After reading carefully for a while.

Time slipped away without him noticing.

Naruto possessed powerful mental energy, allowing him to scan ten lines at a glance.

Moreover, he remembered every detail with perfect clarity.

He went back and asked him to recite the content above.

Naruto could even read out the punctuation marks clearly.

After finishing one of Jiraiya's masterpieces.

He closed the book.

"That's it??? That's it???"

"This book..."

"It's actually quite interesting. The details are depicted very realistically. The entire book embodies everything Jiraiya has seen, heard, and felt throughout his life."

"Some of the descriptions are truly masterful, especially that subtle, lingering sense of beauty—it's the finishing touch."

"I, Naruto, am willing to call you the best in the industry!!"

It wasn't that Naruto was overrating Jiraiya.

It was that if this book were placed in the modern era.

It wouldn't just be a massive hit.

At the very least, it would be quite popular.

For certain perverts.

It is an essential item for the home and the best choice for killing time while traveling!

A single book is enough to conquer the world.

"Eh... isn't that Naruto?"

A slightly childish voice rang in his ears.

Naruto raised his eyes in confusion.

He wanted to see who had come.

He saw a brat of about seven or eight years old.

He wore goggles on his head, and the scarf around his neck was long enough to drag on the ground.

His clothes were slightly worn.

Who else could it be but Hiruzen Sarutobi's grandson, Konohamaru Sarutobi?

Naruto was taken aback for a moment himself.

Even with a grandfather who was the Hokage.

His living conditions weren't exactly affluent.

Good grief, he's even poorer than me.

Seeing Konohamaru.

Naruto grinned and teased, "You little brat, we're close, aren't we? Call me 'Big Brother' and let me hear it."

"Huh?!! Do you know who I am? Calling you 'Big Brother' isn't impossible. But it might be a bit of a stretch for someone of your status to climb the social ladder to my family~"

Konohamaru looked surprised.

I won't even help an old lady across the street today, but I'll help you!

Konohamaru knew Naruto's identity.

After all, Naruto was quite famous in the village.

He had even heard his grandfather mention him yesterday.

Good reputation or bad reputation, at the end of the day, it's still a reputation, right?

Making a bad name for oneself is also a kind of talent, isn't it?

Naruto found it amusing.

Climb the social ladder to your Sarutobi family?

What kind of international joke is this?

The point is, you can't handle your sister-in-law Hanabi.

Let Big Brother handle it.

"Tell me your conditions. What do I have to achieve for you to obediently call me 'Big Brother'?"

"At the very least, you have to know a powerful ninjutsu, right? You don't know anything, yet you want to be my big brother. Aren't you ashamed?"

"Oh? Ninjutsu, huh... that's easy. Open your eyes wide and watch closely. Don't blink."

Poof.

Naruto directly used his signature ninjutsu!

The S-rank Sexy Jutsu he was born with!

Konohamaru was still young; he could be properly nurtured and instilled with some positive knowledge from an early age.

There is no need to be overly intimate with girls.

You should spend more time associating with boys.

An eyepatch is a man's romance.

Cough, cough... wrong script.

In short, Naruto's goal was to raise Konohamaru into a true "man."

That way, he wouldn't have to worry about him competing for Hanabi in the future.

A real man, and you have the nerve to call yourself a man while wearing women's clothing?

Right... Konohamaru?
