Scratch-off Tickets Before the Match

"Don't come any closer!"

Ebisu said with a bit of panic.

He was genuinely afraid of Naruto pinning him again!

Naruto held his head and chuckled freely, "Teacher Ebisu, no need to be so scared. I mean absolutely no harm!"

"Then you stay away from me too. I don't like people getting too close!" Ebisu shook his head repeatedly, his footsteps still retreating.

Naruto scratched his cheek and chuckled lightly, "What if I changed my appearance?"

Before he finished speaking, he directly raised his hands and slammed them together to form hand seals.

"Now, let me show you Naruto's self-created Harem Technique!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

With more than ten sharp bursts of air, over a dozen golden-haired women shrouded in mist appeared in the hallway.

They leaned against the wall or caressed their slender legs.

Ebisu immediately swallowed, and a stream of warm red liquid flowed from his nostrils.

As the misty women gradually approached, Ebisu could no longer move.

He lay there, drooling, "Beautiful, too beautiful!"

Behind them, Sakura's face was flushed red, wishing she could find a corner to smash her head against.

The golden-haired beauties Naruto had transformed into slowly approached Ebisu, speaking seductively.

"Teacher Ebisu, am I beautiful?"

As he spoke, he didn't forget to bite his lip and wink.

Ebisu's heart instantly melted.

"Beautiful, overwhelmingly beautiful! Hahaha."

Ebisu laughed foolishly, then heard Naruto's soft voice say gently.

"Sunflower - Acupoint Sealing Technique!"

His body froze again, the lewd smile on his face instantly fixed. He couldn't even wipe the nosebleed that was flowing into his mouth.

His mind suddenly cleared a little, realizing he had fallen into Naruto's trap again.

What a pity for those three thousand Ryo in silver notes that he hadn't even had time to warm up!

At this moment, Naruto happily counted the silver notes, having forgotten to dispel the Harem Technique.

Kakashi and the others also came out of the Hokage's office.

Seeing the scene in the hallway, the eyes of the three men practically popped out.

Yūhi Kurenai glanced at Asuma, and her anger surged. She swung her arm and delivered a slap.

Asuma instantly came to his senses, turned to look at Yūhi Kurenai, and gritted his teeth as he raised a kunai.

He leaned against the wall and shouted desperately.

"Dad, save me!"

From behind the simple wooden door, the Third Hokage chuckled softly.

"A bag of Spicy Strips!"

"Are you even my real father?"

The Third Hokage let out a long breath.

"You dare question me? Five Elements: Great Breakthrough Technique!"

Seeing the commotion in the hallway.

Realizing the situation was not good, Naruto quickly dispelled the Harem Technique and made a swift escape.

Now two Jonin were fighting because of his Harem Technique.

Even the Third Hokage was involved.

If they weren't careful and accidentally injured bystanders, it would be troublesome!

The three of them quietly slipped out of the building along the wall and then, with lightning speed, headed straight for Invincible Scratch-off.

"Teacher Ebisu is treating us today, let's have a good time scratching! Boss, give us three thousand-Ryo ones!"

Shouting heartily, Naruto slapped three thousand Ryo in silver notes onto the table.

Wu Di pulled out three tickets from the pile of scratch-off tickets and handed them over with a smile.

He himself leaned against the counter, propping his face with his hand.

"Didn't we just scratch some yesterday? Where did you get so much money?"

Naruto chuckled softly without looking up.

"Someone treated us today, and since the Chunin Exam is coming up, we can see if we can scratch up anything good."

As they were talking, the scratch-off tickets of the three of them suddenly flashed with golden light.

Strange-looking items flew out one by one.

"Naruto, yours is a tool called a Mysterious Map. It's a consumable with a time limit."

"Once you officially activate it, you'll know the precise location of anywhere in the world you want to go."

"However, it's only usable for one day."

Naruto was overjoyed and put the map away as if it were a treasure.

After explaining this item, he turned to Sakura.

"Yours is the Read-Write Divine Pen."

"The pen comes with its own system. This pen can easily help you answer any question you want to know!"

As she heard about the magical properties of her item, envious voices came from behind.

Sakura suddenly turned her head and saw that Team Eight, Team Ten, and Neji's team had all arrived at the shop.

"I heard the first round of the Chunin Exam is a written test. With this pen, you'll definitely pass with ease, Four-Eyes!"

Ino stepped forward with a hint of jealousy, fake-smiling as she patted Sakura's shoulder.

These two plastic sisters had been competing since they met, neither willing to see the other do particularly well.

Sakura gave an awkward smile, cursing Ino a million times in her heart.

If Sasuke weren't present, and she had to maintain her ladylike image, she would have rolled up her sleeves and fought with Ino.

Shikamaru glanced at them.

With a look of utter lethargy, he looked at the chili pepper, only as thick as a little finger, in Sasuke's hand and asked.

"What is that thing in his hand?"

Wu Di took a look and explained with a smile.

"This thing is quite amazing."

"It's a gourmet food from our hometown called Chili Pepper."

"It has a very magical effect: it can make the user's chakra surge tenfold for a short period!"

"As for the side effects, after eating it, your mouth will feel a tiny bit of stinging pain!"

Sasuke said "oh" and directly put the Chili Pepper into his ninja tool pouch.

He would naturally save such a useful item for the Chunin Exam.

The three of them left the shop together and went their separate ways, preparing for the upcoming exam.

Naruto touched the advanced ninjutsu in his ninja tool pouch and couldn't help but sigh.

Before the Chunin Exam, he must master this ninjutsu.

Anbu.

Danzo stared at the Sunflower Manual in front of him and sighed softly.

This was because the first page of the book had a sentence written on it: "To practice this technique, you must first castrate yourself!"

He understood what castration meant.

Recalling the Sunflower - Acupoint Sealing Technique that Wu Di had used on him in the shop earlier, a fierce glint appeared in his eyes.

"For power, I'll do it!"

He gritted his teeth and picked up a small knife.

A heart-wrenching howl followed.

"I've cut off everything that needed to be cut. Now I can finally train properly!"

He gritted his teeth, large beads of sweat falling from his forehead.

He had to be praised; he would do anything for power!

He painfully turned to the second page, and his face immediately turned green!

On the page, a sentence was written: "Castration is not guaranteed to succeed!"

"Damn it!"

Danzo cursed, feeling his head spin, and directly fell onto the bed.

The small knife in his hand fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.

The Chunin Exam was drawing nearer.

Many ninjas from outside villages arrived in Konoha.

Passing by the scratch-off ticket shop, one or two would occasionally go in out of curiosity to play.

However, they would mostly just scratch off one or two tickets and then leave.

Winning or losing, they were just looking for something new.

They still couldn't quite accept this strange form of gambling.

Wu Di watched the retreating figures with an unperturbed expression.

He chuckled softly, "You'll all be back sooner or later!"
