Gama Bunta could barely endure it. He wanted to vomit, yet he could not even open his mouth, and tears of agony streamed down his face.
Naruto burst into laughter, swinging his arm as he slapped Gama Bunta on the head. "Great Toad, answer me! Do you submit or not?"
The Great Toad Boss wanted to say he submitted, but its mouth would not open at all. How was it supposed to speak?
Time passed second by second.
At last, when the immobilization wore off, Gama Bunta fled without a second thought and returned to Mount Myōboku.
Naruto stood before Jiraiya with his hands on his hips, laughing loudly.
"Quick, praise me for being a genius! Hahahaha!"
Just as he was basking in his triumph, the Skunk Sachet Yo-yo fell from the sky and landed right between them.
The two of them twitched their mouths awkwardly. Their faces instantly turned a sickly blue-green, their stomachs churned violently, and they turned away to vomit up some filth.
Holding his breath, Naruto hurriedly put away the Yo-yo.
When he turned back to look at Jiraiya, the man looked as though Kitsuchi had been buried up to his neck, taking more breaths out than in.
Naruto quickly took two deep breaths of fresh air. Once his mind regained a trace of clarity, he helped Jiraiya up and headed toward Konoha.
On the way back, he threw his head back and laughed. Now that he had learned the Summoning Jutsu, he would definitely open everyone's eyes during the Chunin Exam finals.
The two stopped every few steps and rested every few more, finally managing to return to Konoha.
Not long after entering the village, they happened to run into Kakashi taking a stroll down the street.
The moment he spotted them from afar, he walked straight over.
Once he got close, he looked Jiraiya over from head to toe, rubbed his chin, and frowned.
"An oil-marked forehead protector, a head full of white hair, and wooden clogs..."
After searching his memories for a moment, he staggered back two steps in shock. "You are... Senior Jiraiya?"
Jiraiya nodded, looked weakly at Naruto beside him, and said smugly.
"See? I'm still quite famous in the village!"
"You're the only brat blind enough not to recognize me!"
Naruto curled his lip. Why would I need to know some dirty old man who only spies on women's bathhouses?
Kakashi grinned and leaned closer, lowering his voice.
"Senior Jiraiya, I really love Icha Icha Paradise. Could you sign my book for me?"
Jiraiya's expression froze.
He had originally thought Kakashi respected him so much because of his strength.
Who would have thought it was because of a book!
Blushing, he said softly.
"Better not. Look at my condition—I'm not feeling well enough to look at such bold things!"
Kakashi looked a little disappointed and said nothing more.
The hand clutching the book drooped as well.
Naruto curiously leaned over.
"Huh? So this is Icha Icha Paradise!"
"Uh!" Kakashi quickly backed away several steps and hid the book behind his back.
"This kind of book... isn't suitable for you. You'd better not read it!"
Naruto curled his lip in disdain. "It's just a book. What's so great about it? Watch mine if you don't believe me!"
He took a deep breath and crossed his hands before his chest.
"Watch closely! Uzumaki Naruto's own creation—the Harem Technique!"
"Poof! Poof! Poof!"
More than ten explosions rang out in succession. On the already narrow street, more than a dozen S-shaped beauties suddenly appeared amid clouds of mist, their bodies half-hidden and half-revealed.
"Ah! Naruto, this..."
Kakashi's face heated up, and then he felt the mask covering his face seemed to grow damp.
He wanted to turn his head away, but his eyeballs refused to cooperate!
He stared blankly.
Beside him, Jiraiya, already incredibly weak, raised his eyebrows twice.
Blood spurted from his nostrils in bursts as he fell backward headfirst.
"Senior Jiraiya!" Kakashi hurried forward, and Naruto's Harem Technique was released at the same time.
Seeing that Jiraiya had already lost consciousness, the two grabbed one end each and carried him toward Konoha Hospital.
"Senior Jiraiya, you mustn't let anything happen to you! Icha Icha Paradise hasn't finished updating yet!"
Naruto shouted loudly, "It's just a book! Teacher Kakashi, if you like it, I can transform for you every day!"
"નારuto, it's all your fault..."
Their voices gradually faded into the distance.
Invincible Scratch-off Shop.
Wu Di was busy and tense, having gone a long time without rest.
The fourth round of the Chunin Exam was about to begin, and more people were coming to scratch tickets.
At the counter, Tenten vigorously scratched away the coating, her eyes filled with anticipation.
The Human Cannonball she had scratched out here last time had been incredibly useful.
In one-on-one battles, it had easily forced her opponents into a corner and left them completely passive.
She was thinking that if she could scratch out another magical item, advancing to chunin would surely be a done deal.
Just as she was calculating this, a flash of golden light appeared, and her eyes immediately shone brightly as well!
A wolf-fang club slowly floated out from the surface of the Scratch-off ticket.
At the same time, the voice he had heard when he first arrived at the shop rang out in Wu Di's mind again.
"Invincible Scratch-off Shop sales have reached ten million ryo. Upgrade complete. Requirement for the next upgrade: one hundred million ryo!"
A flood of information poured into his mind.
Originally, his invincibility range had only covered a hundred meters around the shop. But after the shop upgraded, it directly expanded to a thousand meters nearby.
A full tenfold increase.
Now, aside from the edges of Konoha, there was almost nowhere in the entire village that he could not go.
More importantly, the shop had also unlocked a new skill: adjusting the winning rate of Scratch-off tickets.
Now, no matter who entered the shop to buy Scratch-off tickets,
as long as Wu Di had a thought before handing the ticket over, he could instantly raise or lower that person's winning rate by ten percent!
This was a godlike skill!
From now on, whenever someone came into his shop to buy Scratch-off tickets, if Wu Di found them pleasing to the eye, he could raise their odds a little.
If he disliked them, he could lower their winning rate as much as he wanted!
He had already begun imagining himself throwing his weight around the countryside!
"Hehehe..." He narrowed his eyes lecherously, looking like no good person at all.
Tenten asked softly, "Boss, what exactly is this wolf-fang club for?"
Tenten's question immediately pulled him back to reality.
He quickly checked the description.
At present, his invincibility range only covered Konoha. If he wanted to expand it, he still needed to work hard and sell more Scratch-off tickets!
He let out a long breath. "This item of yours is called the 100% Dizzying Wolf-fang Club."
"If this club hits someone, then as long as they aren't wearing defensive gear produced from Scratch-off tickets, they will definitely enter a dizzy state!"
Tenten was overjoyed.
This item was simply too magical.
With it, advancing to chunin would surely be a done deal!
She laughed happily.
"Thank you, Boss!"
With that, she picked up the wolf-fang club and left.
Watching her back, Wu Di let out a long breath.
The final round of the Chunin Exam was imminent.
The higher-ups from every allied village had all gathered in Konoha.
Outside the door, someone wearing a white robe and a blue Straw Hat with the character for wind entered the shop.
