Big Brother, I Will Definitely Seize the Future

An hour and a half later.

Naruto felt it was about time.

"Alright, that's it for training today."

Are you kidding me?

He still had to go distribute Jiraiya's great works.

He needed to let the flowers of Konoha... the man-eating flowers of the village, bathe in the edification of spiritual civilization.

"Huh? So soon? Big Brother, I still have energy! I'm not afraid of hard work, we can keep training!"

Konohamaru, currently transformed into a girl, said reluctantly.

Konohamaru's skills were lacking, so the girl he transformed into was only average in appearance.

Cough, cough, cough...

Everyone, don't get the wrong idea.

He was fully clothed.

"Forgive me, Konohamaru, until next time."

Naruto reached out and flicked little Konohamaru on the forehead.

Technique courtesy of Itachi Uchiha.

Must be said.

This move really felt satisfying.

At least, he enjoyed flicking him.

"Oh, right, take this. Go home and study it well."

Naruto handed over the book he had already read.

He casually gifted it to Konohamaru.

Konohamaru took it, confused. "Big Brother, what is the meaning of this? Could it be that it contains some powerful cultivation method?"

Who said he couldn't give it to anyone?

The system didn't specify it had to be someone of the same age.

Besides, ninjas must be cultivated from a young age!

Only then would there be a chance to shine brightly in the future.

Naruto grinned and said earnestly.

"Indeed, this is one of Jiraiya's life works! Jiraiya is one of the legendary Sannin of our village, famous for his spiritual edification in the cultural field."

"Not only is his ninjutsu powerful, but his writing is also top-tier."

"Are these things important? Not really. What's important is that he has integrated all the ninjutsu insights he learned throughout his life into this book."

"I see that you and I are fated, so this book, which originally cost 648 gold coins, is now gifted to you for free."

"You must practice hard and not let my painstaking efforts go to waste."

Konohamaru's eyes sparkled with little stars.

His small hands gripped the book tightly.

As if in an instant, he had grasped the future!

"Big Brother, I definitely won't let you down!"

"Yosh, that's the spirit! Keep practicing! Once you reach a certain level, you'll be able to wear women's clothing to school without being discovered. By then, you can grasp the future—the future Hokage will be you, Konohamaru!"

"I will definitely grasp the future!"

"..."

The Anbu members hiding in the shadows, who had barely managed to stop the bleeding from their wounds, were dumbfounded.

They looked at one another.

They could see the shock and strangeness on their companions' faces.

"Holy crap! The grandson of the Third Hokage is going to practice in women's clothing from now on?"

"Captain, should we report this to the Third Hokage?"

"Get lost... report what? Didn't you hear Naruto? Wearing women's clothing is for better training! Keep your damn minds clean."

"Captain, we didn't think anything weird... but the young master's performance just now was really impressive."

"Screw you, only we know about this, don't mention it to anyone else, understand? The young master is the man who will grasp the future and become Hokage! We must support him unconditionally!"

At this moment, a junior Anbu member scratched his head in embarrassment.

He pointed in Konohamaru's direction and said.

"Captain, that book written by Jiraiya... I've read it... the content written inside..."

"You think you're the only one who's read them? The moment Lord Jiraiya releases a book, we skip work just to go buy it, alright?"

"Hehehe... Lord Jiraiya's writing style remains as sharp as ever, and the stories are exactly to our taste."

"That's not... that's not what I meant."

"Then what the hell are you trying to say? Spit it out if you have something to say!"

After a moment of hesitation, the young squad member decided to voice his concerns.

"The young master is still so young; isn't it a bit too early for him to be reading Lord Jiraiya's works?"

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

The Anbu squad leader slapped the young member on the back of his head.

"Too early, my ass! I was already familiar with that stuff back when I was still wearing split-crotch pants!"

"Captain is awesome! Truly worthy of being our boss."

"Teach us your ways, master."

The squad leader coughed twice.

He spoke righteously to the member he had just hit.

"Naruto already said it: there are tips and insights related to Rasengan training hidden within the books written by Lord Jiraiya."

"Just like the Fourth Hokage, Lord Jiraiya can also use the Rasengan."

"Perhaps the secrets of the jutsu are hidden between the lines."

"It's just that our level isn't high enough to grasp them."

One member opened his mouth and said, "Captain, we're considered Jonin, after all. If even we can't see it, how did Naruto figure it out?"

Another member retorted in annoyance, "Are you an idiot?! If Naruto couldn't figure it out, how did he use the Rasengan just now? It's impossible to master it without a teacher, right?"

"Huh?? You're right."

"Forget it, I'm going to read the book carefully when I get off work later!"

"My old man confiscated my copy; lend me yours first."

"Damn! Are you dreaming? It contains the secrets to Rasengan training; I'd have to be stupid to give it to you."

"Hand it over, be a good boy."

"Brother Jie, no!!!"

"Let me take a look!"

"..."
