When Jiraiya was young, he fought against the former village chief of Nadeshiko Village. The battle was extremely fierce but the outcome was inconclusive, so the two made an agreement.
If they can no longer fight in this life, their respective apprentices will continue the competition.
The disciple of the losing side will marry into the other side's village.
The girl named Nadeshiko Shizuka in front of her is the apprentice of the former village chief, and she is the fiancée Jiraiya has chosen for his apprentice.
Naruto picked up the tea cup and took a sip with an expressionless expression.
In other words, Jiraiya found a fiancée for him, and this trap came to his door.
Having said that, Jiraiya actually has quite a few apprentices. Dad Minato Namikaze, Nagato, Konan, and Yahiko are all considered Jiraiya's apprentices.
Tokiwa turned his attention to Naruto with a respectful and solemn tone:
"Since you are the disciple of Lord Jiraiya, then as agreed, please have a formal competition with Master Jing."
"If you lose, as agreed, you need to marry Nadeshiko Village."
Jiraiya stretched out his finger and pointed at Naruto without thinking, "In that case, Naruto will be left to you!"
Naruto twitched the corner of his mouth and silently put the teacup back on the table.
He looked at Nadeshiko Shizuka who had been silent across from him, thought for a moment, and said, "I can agree to this competition."
"But one thing I have to make clear in advance is that I will not marry into any village."
"For things like marriage, you should find someone you really like."
Hearing this, Nadeshiko Shizuka raised her head and glanced at Naruto. This was the first time she looked at Naruto's face since she sat down.
This Konoha Ninja gives her a completely different feeling from others.
But she didn't say much, just nodded.
"In that case, please come with us!"
Naruto nodded, and before leaving, he glanced thoughtfully at a corner of the teahouse.
Soon everyone came to an uninhabited forest outside the town.
Tokiwa looked around, with both hands Hand Seals ready to use Earth Release Ninjutsu to transform this area into a formal battle venue.
Naruto raised his hand to stop:
"Don't bother yourself, it will be over soon."
As soon as this sentence came out, Tokiwa and Nadeshiko Shizuka were dissatisfied at the same time.
Tokiwa frowned slightly, feeling that this disciple of Jiraiya was too conceited.
Master Jing is the strongest heir of Nadeshiko Village in history.
Nadeshiko Shizuka looked at Naruto, her expression unchanged, but her clenched fists showed that she was aroused by these words.
Only Jiraiya has a calm expression.
Then Jiraiya and Tokiwa each took a few steps back and gave up the venue to them.
Nadeshiko Shizuka was the first to attack. A ball of white Chakra light condensed on his right fist, and he kicked off his feet and rushed straight towards Naruto.
The air beside him was compressed by this Chakra so that it made a sharp sound, and the soil under his feet was stepped on two shallow dents at the moment of starting.
"Private affair·Ancient Clear Sky Fist!"
Seeing this, Naruto raised his right hand at will, and a layer of blue Chakra condensed on the surface of his fist.
Ancient Clear Sky Fist punched Nadeshiko Shizuka head-on, and the two Chakra collided brazenly in the air.
The white light on Nadeshiko Shizuka's right fist shattered inch by inch the moment it came into contact with Naruto's fist, and was crushed by Naruto's pure terrifying power.
Naruto's punch remained unabated, sending Nadeshiko Shizuka's whole body flying backwards.
Nadeshiko Shizuka's body drew a long parabola in the air, and he lost control of his body.
"How is it possible..."
Tokiwa's eyes widened instantly and his pupils contracted violently.
Master Jing's Ancient Clear Sky Fist is Nadeshiko Village's unique secret technique that has been passed down from generation to generation. Chakra all over the body is concentrated on the fist and explodes instantly. Even an opponent of Jōnin level will suffer from a head-on head-on attack.
But the Konoha boy in front of him just waved his fist casually and knocked away Master Jing's proud secret technique.
What shocked her even more was what came next.
Behind the trajectory of Nadeshiko Shizuka's inverted flight, the figure of Naruto appeared there without any warning.
Tokiwa didn't even see clearly how Naruto moved. Naruto appeared out of thin air on the route that Master Jing was about to pass.
Naruto pointed his right hands together like a knife, and hit Nadeshiko Shizuka precisely on the back of her neck the moment she flew past her.
The strength was controlled just right, and all the Chakra in Nadeshiko Shizuka's body completely collapsed at that moment, and his body collapsed like a puppet with its strings broken.
The moment before his consciousness completely dissipated, Nadeshiko Shizuka heard the voice of Naruto:
"Since you are not satisfied with the village's rules, then wait for me to break them for you."
Then Nadeshiko Shizuka fainted on the grass, and Tokiwa flew forward to help her up. After checking, she was confirmed to be unconscious and not injured, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
She stood up, turned her head and looked at Naruto, and then at Jiraiya who was leaning against the tree.
The battle just now, if that could be called a battle, only took two rounds from start to finish.
Ancient Clear Sky Fist was crushed by a punch from the front, and then Master Jing was knocked unconscious.
This gap in strength can be described as a chasm.
She gathered her mood and bowed deeply to Jiraiya: "I'm sorry Lord Jiraiya, this agreement is probably over."
"The strength gap between Master Jing and your disciple is too great, there is no point in continuing the competition."
She turned to Naruto again and bowed as well:
"I'm sorry for causing you any trouble. I'll take my leave."
After saying that, Tokiwa put Nadeshiko Shizuka on his back, turned around and walked out of the forest.
After Naruto watched the two people leave, he turned his head and looked at Jiraiya who was leaning against the tree.
Jiraiya is pretending to study the texture of the leaves above his head, avoiding the sight of Naruto.
Then Naruto turned and looked at a tree not far away:
"Friend, come out."
"You've been there since just now."
There was a movement in the distance, and then a female ninja in ninja uniform slowly walked out from behind the big tree.
"Forehead Protector of Hidden Star Village."
Jiraiya looked at the female ninja Forehead Protector and narrowed his eyes.
The female ninja stood in front of the two people, bowed deeply first, and then raised her head to look at Naruto, with a trace of uncontrollable eagerness in her eyes.
"I saw the whole battle just now."
"You are the strongest person I have ever seen, much stronger than any Jōnin in our village."
The female ninja spoke very quickly, and her voice trembled slightly at the end.
Naruto looked at her, Good and Evil Perception turned on, this person had good intentions, but underneath the good intentions was a deep anxiety and fear.
He didn't speak, waiting for the other party to finish speaking.
"My name is Natsuhi, and I am the ninja of Hidden Star Village."
Natsuhi took a deep breath. "My village is facing a crisis now."
"Because of something called a star, the ninjas in the village practice a unique Ninjutsu called Mysterious Peacock Method through meteorites, and can gain powerful power."
"But stars are radioactive, and long-term practice will seriously damage the body and even shorten life span."
"Many people have fallen because of this, but the acting village chief Akahoshi is still forcing young ninjas to continue to use stars to practice. If this continues, Hidden Star Village will be destroyed in the hands of his own people."
Natsuhi raised his head and looked directly at Naruto: "Please help my village!"
After hearing Natsuhi's words, the plot of Hidden Star Village in the original novel flashed in Naruto's mind.
Meteorite, Mysterious Peacock Method, and a ninja whose body was broken due to star radiation.
Not to mention that star is quite interesting and of great research value.
"What do you want me to do for you?"
