The entire Shinobi World might be turned upside down.
"Uh, well..."
A blush rose to Uzuki Yugao's cheeks at Kurenai Yuhi's words.
"Yugao, why are you blushing?"
"Tell me what you know. Hurry."
Kurenai pressed her.
"Oh, come on, Kurenai! It's not what you think!"
Uzuki Yugao stamped her foot.
Then,
she told Kurenai everything she had seen.
Kurenai's eyes grew wider and wider.
So that "super S-rank Forbidden Technique" he had mentioned... was that?
No wonder he wanted to peek at Yugao while she bathed.
"That pervert!"
Kurenai couldn't help spitting the words out.
She had worried all night, and this was what it turned out to be?
That bastard Naruto—
could he ever take anything seriously?
"Kurenai, that's what happened. Can you tell me about the Diary now?"
Uzuki Yugao changed the subject.
After all,
Naruto peeked at her bathing every day.
Now that he had come up with something like this, she bore some responsibility too.
"All right. I'll tell you everything I know."
Knowing the truth, Kurenai breathed a sigh of relief.
Then,
she began discussing the Diary with Uzuki Yugao.
On the streets of Konoha,
people came and went.
As the most prosperous Ninja Village in the Shinobi World, Konoha had lavishly decorated shops lining its streets.
Vendors called out their wares from every direction.
Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno strolled along, eating warm Three-Color Dango.
Their team hadn't taken a mission in a while.
So,
besides their daily training, they wandered around together to get to know one another better.
Besides,
they had nothing else to do.
Thud!
With a dull impact, Naruto Uzumaki buried his face in the chest of a shapely woman.
"Smells so good~"
Catching that familiar scent, Naruto Uzumaki couldn't resist taking a deep breath.
"You little pervert!"
The woman snorted. She gave Naruto Uzumaki a gentle shove, but when he didn't budge, she stopped trying.
He had already seen her naked anyway. What was a little more of this?
"Anbu lady, we meet again!"
After nuzzling against Uzuki Yugao to his heart's content, Naruto Uzumaki straightened up and greeted her with a grin.
"Kid, are we supposed to be close?"
Uzuki Yugao answered, feigning indifference.
"Huh?"
"Weren't you the one who took me to Konoha Hospital last time?"
"We spent such an unforgettable night together. I still can't stop thinking about you. Have you forgotten already?"
Naruto Uzumaki spoke loudly.
"You!"
"What unforgettable night? Watch what you say, kid!"
Uzuki Yugao blushed beneath her mask.
That bastard.
What nonsense is he spouting in front of everyone on the street?
And you can't stop thinking about me, so you peek at me bathing every day?
Do you have any idea how humiliating every bath has become for me?
"Ah... I guess I was fooling myself."
"If we're not close, then you just bumped into me, and now my head hurts. Take me to the hospital."
Naruto Uzumaki changed tack.
"What?"
"You bumped into me!"
Uzuki Yugao gained a new appreciation for Naruto Uzumaki's shamelessness.
She had stepped into his path just now. With his sensory abilities, there was no way he hadn't noticed her.
But
he had walked straight into her anyway.
He had definitely done it on purpose!
And
don't think I missed you taking that huge breath while your face was against my chest!
"All right, Anbu lady. Did you need something?"
Beside them, Sakura watched Uzuki Yugao with a suppressed smile.
Last night,
Kurenai had introduced them,
and she, Ino, and Hinata had all added Uzuki Yugao as a friend and invited her into the Group Chat.
Perhaps it was because they shared a secret.
So,
although only one night had passed,
they had already grown quite close.
"Lord Hokage wants your team to come to the Hokage Office."
Uzuki Yugao nodded to Sakura, then explained why she had come.
Then,
Uzuki Yugao shot Naruto Uzumaki a fierce glare.
Hmph!
You pervert!
If you don't mention me in the Diary today, you'll be sorry!
Old Man, You Weren't Lying, Were You?
The Hokage Building.
The Hokage Office.
Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, and Sasuke Uchiha opened the door and went in. Kakashi Hatake was already waiting inside.
"Lord Third!"
"Ahem..."
At the sight of Naruto Uzumaki, embarrassment flickered across Hiruzen Sarutobi's face.
Yesterday,
while he was using the Telescope Technique to spy on Naruto Uzumaki, Naruto had suddenly said something about a new ninjutsu he had developed...
That had piqued his curiosity.
So,
Hiruzen Sarutobi stared intently at the image in the crystal ball, afraid to blink in case he missed anything.
But the next instant,
the steamy scene that appeared in the crystal ball sent blood gushing from his nose. He had nearly passed out on the spot.
Even now,
the thought made him shudder.
Hiruzen Sarutobi made a decision then and there.
From now on, he would try not to spy on Naruto.
After all,
his body
couldn't take many more shocks like that.
"Lord Third?"
Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi lost in thought, Kakashi Hatake spoke up.
"Oh."
"My apologies."
Hiruzen Sarutobi came back to himself at the sound of his voice.
Then,
he set down his pipe.
"According to Kakashi's report, all three of you have become excellent Genin."
"So... as an exception, I'll allow you to undertake a C-rank mission under Kakashi's leadership."
"A C-rank mission?"
