Top-tier X-Ray Glasses

Naruto licked his lips, his hand seals changing.

"Wood Release, Thousand Years of Death!"

"Poof!" Another wooden hand shot out, striking Jiraiya right in the rear.

Jiraiya cried out in pain again!

He truly wished he could break free immediately and teach that brat Naruto a harsh lesson.

Naruto walked up with a grin, patting Jiraiya's forehead protector with the character for "oil" on it.

"What Sage of the Toads, you're clearly a Pervy Sage!"

"Brat, you..." Jiraiya was filled with shame and anger.

After struggling fruitlessly for a moment, he let out a long sigh, his attitude softening considerably.

"Brat, where did you learn that Ninjutsu?"

Naruto twisted his neck and turned his head.

"Don't call me brat, I'm Konohagakure's Wood Release genius, Uzumaki Naruto!"

"Uzumaki Naruto? Minato's kid!" Jiraiya burst into laughter.

"After traveling for a few years, I never expected Minato's kid to have grown so much! Quick, let me down!"

Naruto hesitated, looking back at him. "You know my dad?"

"Of course, and quite intimately!" Jiraiya replied proudly.

Naruto's lips twitched. "My dad isn't gay, you must have the wrong person!"

With that, he started to walk away.

Jiraiya quickly called out to him, "Wait a moment, I have something I want to ask you."

Naruto cautiously turned his head and said in a low voice, "What is it, speak!"

"How did you get this Wood Release, tell me about it!"

Jiraiya's eyes gleamed.

If he had the chance to learn Wood Release, he could help Naruto control the Nine-Tails in the future, thus fulfilling Minato's dying wish.

Naruto picked at his ear and said softly, "Ichiraku Ramen, across the street, Invincible Scratch-off. Go there and you'll know!"

Jiraiya quickly jotted it down.

Watching Naruto's retreating figure, he shouted.

"Hey, don't go, release me from this Wood Release!"

Naruto stopped in his tracks. He suddenly remembered he was out of money for scratch-off tickets. He turned back and said with a faint smile.

"How about this, give me some silver notes, and I'll let you go!"

A few dark lines appeared on Jiraiya's face.

"They're in my pocket, help yourself!"

Naruto didn't hesitate and reached directly into Jiraiya's pocket.

Feeling Jiraiya's heavy wallet, he couldn't help but exclaim.

"Robbery really is the fastest way to make money these days!"

Jiraiya listened quietly. Restrained by Naruto, he was completely helpless.

Watching Naruto pocket the money from his wallet, he said in a low voice.

"Can you let me down now?"

Naruto grinned sinisterly and raised two fingers.

"Heh heh, I can, but I'm afraid you'll beat me up once you're free, so..."

"You'll have to bear with it a little longer!"

"Sunflower - Acupoint Sealing Technique!"

As he spoke, his two fingers pressed directly onto Jiraiya's head.

Jiraiya suddenly felt his body petrify, even his fingers losing their ability to move.

"You don't need to worry about this, it'll wear off on its own in five minutes. I'm leaving now!"

Naruto patted the silver notes in his hand and happily departed.

The Wood Release immediately dissolved. Beneath the rock garden, Jiraiya, with his rear end sticking up, cursed Naruto a million times in his heart!

Not long after, his paralysis wore off.

He quickly straightened up, clutching his rear end with both hands, and shouted loudly, "Uzumaki Naruto, don't let me catch you!"

Regaining his senses, he touched his now empty wallet, clenching his fists.

Scratch-off tickets, he had never heard of them before.

It must be another newly emerging industry.

It's a shame, though, all his money was snatched by Naruto, so he couldn't investigate it further for the time being.

He searched his body with a dark expression and finally found something of value.

Looking up, not far ahead, there was a pawn shop.

He lowered his head and walked in.

Invincible Scratch-off.

Naruto walked in clutching a large wad of silver notes.

Seeing the crowd packed in front of the counter, he could only sigh helplessly and stand at the back to join the long queue.

He finally reached the front and threw the silver notes onto the counter in one go.

"Boss, I counted just now, it's exactly ten thousand ryo. Give me a ten-thousand ryo scratch-off ticket!"

He recalled that it was from a ten-thousand ryo scratch-off ticket that he had previously won the Sunflower - Acupoint Sealing Technique.

If he got another ten-thousand ryo ticket and won some powerful ninjutsu, he wouldn't have to worry about the upcoming exam!

With the ten-thousand ryo scratch-off ticket in hand, he lightly blew on his palm and began to scratch it with a coin.

Before long, a golden flash appeared beneath the coating of the scratch-off ticket.

He quickly sped up.

A moment later, a small yellow pull-tab can floated out from the ticket.

A red bull's head was drawn on the can.

He was a little surprised.

Wu Di smiled and explained, "This is a functional drink from my hometown called Red Cow!"

"Drinking this beverage can unleash incredibly powerful chakra for a short period of time..."

Just as he was explaining, Jiraiya limped in from outside, his rear end sticking out!

He glared at Naruto through gritted teeth, his eyes filled with undisguised shame and anger.

Wu Di instantly understood. No wonder Naruto was so rich; he had robbed this best-selling author!

He quickly stepped in to stop him, "No fighting allowed in this establishment!"

Jiraiya gritted his teeth and looked at the Jonin from other villages who were respectfully addressing the boss, a murmur rising in his heart.

"If that's the case, I'll deal with you after I get outside!"

He directly sat down in front of the counter and said softly, "Give me a scratch-off ticket too, a ten-thousand ryo one!"

Naruto was a little surprised and asked, "Didn't I already rob you of all your money? How do you still have cash?"

Jiraiya snorted coldly, appearing nonchalant, but his heart was bleeding.

"My manuscript..."

He had pawned the manuscript for Icha Icha Paradise to get the ten thousand ryo in silver notes.

He quickly scratched off the coating, imitating others.

In the blink of an eye, a golden light flashed.

Then, a pair of sunglasses flew out from the ticket.

"Boss, what is this?" he asked, somewhat confused.

Wu Di glanced at the instructions and chuckled awkwardly.

"This thing you have is called Top-tier X-Ray Glasses, they can see through any external object!"

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya's eyes lit up.

He quickly grabbed the glasses and put them on.

Instantly, the people in the room took on a different appearance.

"Oh my, this room is full of males, how boring!"

He complained happily and turned to leave the shop.

He couldn't suppress his excitement: there must be many women on the street!

However, as he turned back, he saw two large, fleshy watermelons swaying at the doorway.

Looking up from the watermelons, Tsunade's youthful face came into view.

Jiraiya immediately exploded, blood gushing uncontrollably from his nose.

Tsunade looked confused and turned to Wu Di, asking, "Boss, what's wrong with him?"
