A Woman's Jutsu

Certainly.

Naruto wanted to see just how far his strength had reached even more, and he could use these two as a reference point when the time came.

"Let's go, we're moving out."

"Okay, Kakashi-sensei."

The group of five walked toward the direction of the Land of Waves. Along the way, the old man Tazuna kept drinking alcohol and darting his eyes around, seeming worried about something.

Naruto was fully aware of this, but he did not mention the relevant matter and instead turned to look at Sasuke.

This was because he discovered that Sasuke's mood was higher than before, and he had also become much more confident.

"What are you looking at me for?"

Sasuke frowned slightly at being watched and asked Naruto for the reason.

"Nothing, I just think having a bald head suits you very well too."

"You..."

Because of this single sentence, a tic mark appeared on Sasuke's forehead.

The crucial point was that he had indeed been practicing the Bald Training Method recently. Although he had mentally prepared himself to go bald, being brought up now made him inexplicably depressed.

After all, with such fine, handsome hair, no one wanted to turn into a bald man, so Sasuke felt a tightness in his chest.

"By the way, Sasuke, do you want to trade jutsus? Exchange with your Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu," Naruto said suddenly.

"Why?" Sasuke raised an eyebrow, clearly unwilling.

"Of course, to make a fire when cooking," Naruto shrugged.

"Just for this?"

Sasuke looked at Naruto in annoyance. The Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu was their Uchiha clan's signature jutsu, yet Naruto wanted to use it to make a fire. It was simply too infuriating.

"No way, absolutely not. Besides, this jutsu belongs to my clan and is never passed on to outsiders."

"Is it really never passed on?"

"Really."

"Then why do so many people know this jutsu?" Naruto raised an eyebrow and said.

In his memories, Mitaraishi Anko, Ebisu, and even certain extra ninjas all knew this jutsu.

Moreover.

Having survived in this world for so long, Naruto had long known that this jutsu was no longer exclusive to the Uchiha, which was why he had brought up the idea of exchanging jutsus.

In fact, this proposal was very fair. After all, the Fireball was only C-rank, and he would also use a jutsu of the same rank in exchange.

Unfortunately, after hearing Naruto's words, Sasuke let out a "hum" and ignored Naruto.

"Hey, are you going to trade or not? Learning one more jutsu means gaining one more combat skill," Naruto said again.

"This..."

Hearing this, Sasuke felt it made sense, and indeed quite a few people knew the Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu, but Sasuke still did not want to trade.

"How about this, I'll trade with you using two jutsus." Thinking of something, Naruto suddenly said with a smile.

"Two jutsus?"

Hearing that it was two jutsus, Sasuke felt that Naruto was indeed very sincere. If he refused, it would really be going a bit too far, especially since the other party had even taught him the Bald Training Method.

"Since you're showing sincerity too, let's trade."

"Alright, write it down now."

Naruto took two notebooks out of his backpack, tossed the one with the beautiful girl pattern to Sasuke, and started writing in a cartoon pig notebook himself.

"Who is this girl? She feels very charismatic."

Seeing the black-armored beauty on the notebook, along with that head of silver hair and golden pupils, Sasuke felt that this girl was extraordinary.

What surprised Sasuke the most was that he saw a line of words at the bottom of the notebook.

If gods exist, they would surely visit divine punishment upon me--

Such words piqued Sasuke's interest, but unfortunately there was no name on the notebook, so he looked at Naruto.

"I drew that. It's useless for you to know who she is, hurry up and write the jutsu."

Naruto replied, writing two jutsus in the cartoon pig notebook, and incidentally wrote out the Bald Training Method once as well, along with annotations.

"Here you go, this pig notebook is yours." He tossed the cartoon pig notebook to Sasuke.

"This..."

Sasuke reacted. He looked at the cartoon pig notebook, then looked at the black-armored beauty notebook, and felt an even greater tightness in his chest.

"Sigh!"

With a sigh, Sasuke silently wrote down the Fireball Jutsu, and then reluctantly returned the black-armored beauty notebook to Naruto.

Seeing Naruto holding the black-armored beauty notebook and studying the jutsu with great relish, Sasuke looked at his own cartoon pig notebook again, and his heart grew even more depressed.

Fortunately, there were two jutsus to study, and his mood recovered quite a bit.

Silently opening the notebook, Sasuke began to examine the two jutsus. One was the C-rank Wind Release: Great Breakthrough, and the other was Wind Release: Flower Scattering Dance of unknown rank.

Sasuke didn't place much value on C-rank jutsus, but he had become curious about the Flower Scattering Dance of unknown rank.

Furthermore, seeing Naruto studying a jutsu, he took up his notebook with a competitive spirit and began to study rapidly.

Relying on his genius intellect, he mastered the Wind Release: Flower Scattering Dance in a very short time, and then, carrying a trace of a competitive mindset, prepared to test and release it.

However, just as he was about to use the jutsu, he suddenly saw Naruto walk to the side of the group.

Then.

Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!

Boom!

A massive fireball condensed, carrying a scorching aura as it slammed into the tree at the side. In an instant, those trees collapsed with a crash amidst the flames.

"This..."

Looking at this massive fireball and its destructive power, and thinking of the tiny flame he had released during his first training session as a child, Sasuke suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.

Kakashi and the others nearby were also somewhat surprised. Especially Sakura, who felt that Naruto had truly grown stronger, and his natural talent was far more formidable than she had imagined.

"He learned it just by watching it once. Naruto, are you really a dropout?" Sakura murmured, while turning her head to look at Sasuke.

Because Naruto and Sasuke studied at the same time, Naruto as a dropout had already learned the jutsu, yet Sasuke was still standing foolishly in place.

"I've learned it too."

Unconvinced, Sasuke stepped forward and began to form hand seals rapidly in full view of everyone.

To make his jutsu stronger, Sasuke deliberately mobilized a large amount of chakra.

Wind Release: Flower Scattering Dance!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Whirlwinds spun around Sasuke, and pieces of beautiful flower petals condensed around him, making him look as though he were bathing in a world of petals, appearing exceedingly pretty and striking.

"Wah, so pretty." Looking at this scene like a lovesick fan, Sakura could not help but shriek out loud.

However.

Kakashi, Tazuna, and Naruto looked at this scene with quirky smiles on their faces, because this jutsu clearly leaned more toward women.

"Naruto!!"

Sasuke was furious. He never imagined that the effect of the jutsu would turn out like this; it was simply too exasperating.

Anoyed, Sasuke quickly stopped the jutsu, then hurried in front of Naruto and stared at him angrily.

"What are you staring at me for? Isn't this jutsu good?" Naruto said with a smile.

"Of course it's not good. I will never use this kind of woman's jutsu," Sasuke said angrily.

"Suit yourself."

Naruto shrugged, and while earning Experience Points, he also looked toward the center of the road ahead.

Because there was a small puddle there, which was also the spot where rogue ninjas were hiding in preparation for an ambush. However, Naruto did not make a move, because he discovered that right next to these two rogue ninjas were two tiny Experience Orbs.

Although these two Experience Orbs were very small, since he saw them, he couldn't let them go to waste, so Naruto walked over to the grassy area near the small puddle.

"I'm hungry, it's just the right time to cook a meal."

Naruto rapidly formed hand seals to split into five Shadow Clone Techniques, and then waved his hand.

"Go."
