Asuma hurried past the two, disappearing into the crowd, fearing Lin Yu knew something.
"Heh, the annoying guy's gone, Lin Yu, let's continue!"
Lin Yu gently tapped Kurenai's head and said, "This is a public street, be mindful!"
"Ouch! You're bullying me~"
Kurenai's personality shifted dramatically when drunk. Her ruby-like eyes darted around, and as if thinking of something else, she grabbed Lin Yu's arm and pulled him towards the back of the Hidden Leaf Village.
"Lin Yu, let's go into the woods!"
This request seemed hard to refuse. Lin Yu, admitting his lack of strength, was forcibly dragged along by Kurenai.
Not far away, Asuma, hiding in the crowd, saw Lin Yu and Kurenai leave and quietly followed them. He was worried about Kurenai being alone with Lin Yu. Just as Lin Yu said, Kurenai was drunk, and he didn't believe these were her true feelings!
After sobering up, Kurenai would surely praise his appearance and fall madly in love with him!
However, as Asuma fantasized, scenes of his parting with Jiro would occasionally flash in his mind. Jiro's bitter and wronged gaze was clearly etched in Asuma's memory.
Asuma clenched his fist, shook his head, and followed again.
Jiro, I'm sorry, I still can't accept it, unless...
...
"Why hasn't that kid Naruto come out yet?"
Outside the Hokage building, Mizuki hid in a dark corner, his face gloomy, occasionally glancing at the sky to check the time. It was fortunate he was local to the ninja world; this habit of looking at the sky to tell time was something Lin Yu could never learn.
After a while, Mizuki's palms were sweating. Seeing Naruto still hadn't appeared, Mizuki cursed under his breath and prepared to retreat. But the next second, a little blond head with a large scroll on his back appeared at the edge of his vision.
That kid Naruto, he really didn't waste his three months' salary!
"Naruto! Quick, hand over the forbidden scroll..."
Mizuki excitedly reached out his hands towards Naruto. Just as they were about to meet, Naruto's speed suddenly increased, and he leaped over Mizuki.
"Mizuki-sensei, run! Lots of people are chasing me from behind!"
Mizuki's eyes widened in shock as he saw the ninjas wearing green vests swarming towards him like a wolf pack. Not only that, but ANBU members wearing cat masks were also on the rooftops in the distance.
Mizuki immediately surged with chakra and began to run. In an instant, he was behind Naruto and sternly said, "Naruto, hand over the Scroll of Seals to me quickly. You can't escape with your speed."
"But..."
Naruto, holding the large scroll, hesitated, seemingly contemplating the act of handing over the goods for payment.
"Naruto! Trust me, I'll definitely pay the remaining balance."
Seeing the pursuers closing in, Mizuki gritted his teeth, pulled out several scrolls from his pocket, and threw them to Naruto.
"These are four C-rank jutsu scrolls, more than enough to cover that one million ryo."
Naruto took the scrolls. Although disappointed it wasn't cash, he figured it was better than nothing. He then threw the large scroll in his hands towards Mizuki and shouted loudly, "Mizuki-sensei, take the Scroll of Seals and run, don't mind me!"
That darn brat Naruto!
Mizuki hastily took the large scroll, not even having time to gloat, when he heard Naruto divert all the pursuing fire onto him. A flicker of killing intent flashed in his eyes, but the priority was to escape the pursuers. He had already arranged a fallback route.
Mizuki glared fiercely at Naruto as he disappeared into the forest and then fled along the planned route.
The Hidden Leaf ninjas behind him seemed to be solely pursuing the Scroll of Seals, completely ignoring Naruto who had vanished into the woods.
On the rooftop of the Hokage building, Minato Namikaze stood clad in a white Hokage robe. Although the night obscured his vision, the thick wallet in his hand was easily discernible.
"How much you can learn, depends on yourself, Naruto."
Shortly after, behind a large, sturdy tree in the back mountains of the Hidden Leaf Village, a little blond boy sat cross-legged on the ground, nodding occasionally. In front of him lay a massive scroll – the Scroll of Seals.
"Ugh... the opening jutsu is... Shadow Clone Jutsu?"
Naruto scratched his head and pouted, "What the heck, the first one is my specialty. This Scroll of Seals isn't as impressive as I thought."
However, as Naruto continued to read, his expression grew more excited. He seemed to have found the secret to becoming stronger.
"If I can combine the Sexy Jutsu with Shadow Clone Jutsu, wouldn't its power increase hundreds of times!"
"Sasuke, that arrogant guy, will definitely be shocked by my jutsu."
Lin Yu didn't know if Sasuke would be shocked, but he himself was truly astonished at this moment.
"What's going on? Naruto should have graduated smoothly without the Nine-Tails' chakra interference. Why did he still steal the Scroll of Seals?"
Lin Yu couldn't possibly forget the opening of the Hokage series, and it was precisely because he remembered it so clearly that he was shocked.
Remember, Minato Namikaze was still alive, and the Hokage building's security was extremely robust, far from the original story where Naruto's Sexy Jutsu could incapacitate Hiruzen Sarutobi.
How could a genin steal the Scroll of Seals from the Hokage building? Minato, your performance is too deep. Was this a special tutoring session for your own son?
Lin Yu shook his head helplessly. He wasn't very interested in the jutsu within the Scroll of Seals. Moreover, over a decade ago, he had already had Orochimaru make a copy, solely for the purpose of perfecting the Edo Tensei.
However, the current situation was rather awkward.
Lin Yu held Kurenai, who had gone limp against his chest. Her full breasts pressed against his chest, and he could clearly feel their astonishing elasticity and softness.
But Lin Yu had no intention of going further right now. He wiped away the lipstick marks from his mouth and looked displeasantly at the little blond boy under the tree not far away. How dare you interrupt my good time! Naruto, do you want Sasuke to suffer even more at his hands?!
Suddenly, two chakra signatures entered Lin Yu's perception range. One was familiar, it was Asuma who had been following all along. As for the other, it should be Mizuki.
Lin Yu chuckled, picked up Kurenai's soft body, and looking at the girl who had fallen asleep peacefully on his chest, he couldn't help but feel a little helpless. She actually fell asleep while they were kissing.
"Sigh, I guess I'll just go home and sleep."
As if sensing movement, Naruto closed the scroll and looked back, but he couldn't see a single person. He could only rub his head, confused, "Was that an illusion? I keep feeling like someone is watching me."
Swish!
A figure landed abruptly on a branch next to Naruto, gasping for breath and saying, "Naruto, you made me search for you! How dare you deceive me!"
The newcomer was Mizuki, the scapegoat who had used the fake scroll to distract Naruto. After temporarily evading the pursuers and hiding to examine the scroll, he found no forbidden jutsu as he had expected. Instead, it only depicted a turtle carrying a black pot.
Mizuki felt a surge of anger from his feet upwards, almost burning his head.
He had spent all his savings, only to get this thing. And he was still being chased. All of this was that brat Naruto's fault!
Mizuki had always been the one to trick others, but now he had been played by this brat Naruto.
"Naruto, have you thought about how you want to die?"
Naruto clutched the Scroll of Seals and backed away, trembling, "Mizuki-sensei, if I say I gave you the wrong one, would you believe me?"
Mizuki continued to advance, his expression sinister, "What do you think?"
Naruto extended his hands, "How about a discount? Fifty thousand ryo and..."
"I'll break your mother's face!"
Mizuki lunged forward, roaring, "I'll fucking break your bones!"
