Special Jonin Ebisu

Konoha's back mountain.

The forest faced a grave survival crisis.

After arriving at the back mountain, Naruto Uzumaki did not pause for even a moment. He chose to combine the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu with the Rasengan, continuing to develop all sorts of bizarre combination ninjutsu.

"Rasengan!"

"Rasengan Barrage!"

"Rasengan Multi-Barrage!"

Rows upon rows of trees fell beneath the Rasengan, kicking up huge clouds of dust. Some small animals that had been watching his training fled the scene in panic.

Someone stood beneath a tree and adjusted his tiny dark sunglasses. "I really never expected a Dead Last ninja like you to be able to master an A-rank forbidden technique like the Rasengan!"

"Who's there?!"

A chakra vortex abruptly formed in Naruto Uzumaki's palm. Turning, he spotted the black-clad figure who had appeared out of nowhere, then let out a breath of relief. "Oh, it's you..."

The newcomer was a Special Jonin of the Hidden Leaf Village named Ebisu. He was also the private tutor of Konohamaru Sarutobi, grandson of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

There was some bad blood between them.

When Naruto had gone to take his ninja registration photo, Konohamaru Sarutobi had pestered him into teaching him the Sexy Jutsu. Ebisu had looked down on him and criticized him for it.

Naruto had defeated Ebisu with the advanced version of the Sexy Jutsu, the Harem Jutsu. Now, it seemed this Special Jonin was still unconvinced...

"What do you want with me?"

Naruto Uzumaki casually slammed the Rasengan in his hand into a tree and resumed his ninjutsu training. He had to work hard for that will occupying his mind...

That will, which demanded that he unify the ninja world, seemed to hunger for power in every single word. It had even taught him Sealing Art: Devour, a technique capable of absorbing chakra!

"Have you forgotten the humiliation you brought upon me a few days ago?!"

Ebisu slowly approached Naruto, looking down at him arrogantly. "I admit that you do have some talent. You actually managed to master the Rasengan developed by the Fourth Hokage!"

"But that does not change the fact that you are merely an ordinary ninja. True strength ultimately depends on bloodline. An ordinary ninja can never become Hokage!"

"And the one who can become strong, who can become Hokage, will definitely be young master Konohamaru, the Third Hokage's grandson. Hokage blood flows through his veins!"

This Konoha Special Jonin was clearly a believer in bloodlines.

That was why, instead of teaching a group of children at the Ninja Academy like Iruka, he had become Konohamaru Sarutobi's private tutor.

In all of Konoha, at least on the surface, there were probably few children whose bloodline could compare to Konohamaru Sarutobi's. Of course, part of the reason was that the ninja clans had declined...

The only one who might compare to Konohamaru Sarutobi was probably the second daughter of the Hyuga Clan's main family. It was said that even that little girl's nanny was a full-fledged Jonin!

That was the foundation of Konoha's foremost great clan.

"Whatever. Think whatever you want!"

Naruto Uzumaki raised his head. The glaring sunlight made it difficult for him to look directly at Ebisu, but he merely continued softly, "I don't think a good background is of any help to a ninja. Every ninja in the village has the potential to become Hokage..."

"Heh, not necessarily."

Ebisu lowered his head and looked at Naruto Uzumaki with contempt. "Do you think that mastering the Rasengan left behind by the Fourth Hokage means you can become Hokage? The Fourth Hokage was known as the Yellow Flash, and the ninjutsu he excelled at most was the Flying Thunder God Technique!"

"...If you came here to interrupt my training, then please leave. I may be young, but I still don't want to waste my time on you!"

Naruto Uzumaki was somewhat displeased. He did not care much for the Fourth Hokage. Perhaps they had a mutual understanding, since they had both developed the Rasengan? Only, he had developed it later?

Naruto Uzumaki did not want the words "Fourth Hokage" lingering in his mind, yet the Special Jonin before him kept bringing him up...

"Heh heh... Want me to guide your training?"

Ebisu slowly bent down and looked through his sunglasses at the blond ninja before him. A wicked smile curled across his lips. "You should know that the guidance of a Special Jonin is an extremely precious asset to a Genin!"

Ever since being defeated by the Harem Jutsu last time, he had been unable to get over it for a long while. He had utterly humiliated himself in front of Konohamaru Sarutobi and had even caused the boy to change his ways.

Now Konohamaru Sarutobi wandered all over Konoha's streets every day. From time to time, he would sneak peeks at beauties on the street and strange magazines, fully focused on practicing the Sexy Jutsu...

To Ebisu, the seriousness of this matter far surpassed the embarrassment he had suffered. How had such an ideal Hokage candidate been ruined by a few words from Naruto Uzumaki?!

Wasn't this Dead Last leading a child astray?!

During this time, he had been looking for a chance to regain his dignity. Today, he had happened to see Naruto Uzumaki leave the Ninja Academy early!

Naruto Uzumaki glanced at him and asked seriously, "Are you serious?"

"Of course I am!"

Ebisu nodded sternly and raised a hand, forming the Seal of Confrontation toward Naruto Uzumaki. "I heard that you little brats place great importance on this kind of ritual when fighting fellow ninjas..."

"Though you are an arrogant, ignorant little demon fox brat I cannot stand, you are still a ninja of this village after all..."

Naruto Uzumaki glanced at his hand sign and casually formed a Seal of Confrontation as well. "After talking all that nonsense, you're still just unwilling to accept that you lost to me last time..."

"No ninja would accept losing to such a vulgar ninjutsu!"

The Special Jonin separated his hands and spoke coldly. "Naruto Uzumaki, this time, I will not be careless again!"

"I really don't get it. A Jonin loses, and he still has the nerve to come challenge a Genin like me..." Naruto Uzumaki sighed and clenched his fists. "But fine. I didn't get my fill at the Ninja Academy either!"

"Idiot, I'm a Special Jonin!"

Ebisu snapped angrily, "And I'm not challenging you. I'm merely going to teach you some principles of being a ninja!"

"Being a ninja is not some childish game!"

As soon as the words fell, Ebisu raised his leg and struck at Naruto's head!

As an adult, he possessed an innate advantage in a taijutsu duel between ninjas!

Relying on his height and practiced skill, Ebisu infused chakra into his leg to make his attack even more powerful!

A sweeping kick came crashing in, only for Naruto Uzumaki to raise his arm and block it. The immense force traveling through his arm made his expression darken...

A faint breeze kicked up by the strike stirred his blond hair!

With his current taijutsu, he could not defeat a Special Jonin!

Naruto Uzumaki leaped away from Ebisu's assault and formed a hand seal. "Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

"Heh, I told you already!"

Ebisu adjusted his glasses and said with a laugh, "I'm not like trash Chunin such as Mizuki. The Shadow Clone Jutsu is nothing novel..."

Yes, the Shadow Clone Jutsu was nothing unusual.

It was just that this blond brat had enough chakra to create hundreds or even thousands of Shadow Clones at once. No matter how many times he saw it, it was still astonishing.

Was the chakra inside this brat's body simply too abundant?

First update.

Ebisu: I told you, bloodline determines a ninja's upper limit!

Naruto Uzumaki: I don't believe it. Everyone has the potential to become Hokage!

Ebisu: Heh, then let me see that potential in you!

Naruto Uzumaki: Rasengan! Do you believe it now?

Ebisu: I can see from you that bloodline is not important.

Minato Namikaze: No, bloodline is very important.

Kushina Uzumaki: No, bloodline is very important!

Hagoromo Otsutsuki: Guess what I'm going to say?
