'Long time no see?'
Kurotsuchi lifted her head and stared at Naruto's face. She suddenly remembered that she seemed to have seen this man before.
In the Land of Iron, during the Five Kage Summit, the Godaime Hokage seemed to have brought only one guard.
What stood out was that shock of blond hair and his outrageously arrogant attitude. The Godaime Hokage had even said something like, 'If it's just a guard, this guy alone is enough'.
From Naruto's perspective, Kurotsuchi had a small face, wore a red half-sleeved dress and a pair of black fishnet stockings on her legs. There was nothing seductive about her, instead, she exuded a lively, mischievous energy.
"The one from Konoha, Uzumaki Naruto?" She asked tentatively.
"Yep, that's me." He smiled and started to lie, "I found you passed out in an alley for some reason. Since I couldn't find your parents nearby, I brought you here."
Kurotsuchi: "..."
She stared at him with a 'Do I look stupid to you?' expression. She opened her mouth and seemed to want to say something but hesitated. Finally, she couldn't help it and asked, "Do I look like an idiot to you?"
"Nice legs."
Their conversation was like two parallel lines that would never meet. Kurotsuchi shot him a glance and immediately understood, 'This guy didn't care what I thought. He was just going through the motions of humoring me.'
The realization made her even angrier.
'The other party knows that I won't believe it, but he still lies to me unscrupulously. Because he doesn't care whether I believe it or not, he just felt like doing it.'
That kind of disregard was downright insulting to Kurotsuchi.
After a while, she also recalled that she'd been knocked unconscious. As for the person who knocked her, it was undoubtedly the blond man in front of her, whose strength was unknown.
But she knew that the person who can serve as the Godaime Hokage's personal guard must be far stronger than her.
"Thank you for the compliment." She was already cursing in her heart, but on the surface, she still said calmly, "Did I offend you somehow?"
"No, on the contrary, I admire you." Naruto said lightly, " here's a certain quality about you that drew me in, so I invited you here."
Hearing this, Kurotsuchi's eye twitched.
'You damn pervert. Just say you like my legs, why dress it up with flowery nonsense? Even if you say so much, it's still to see my legs.'
Kurotsuchi might be young, but she wasn't naive. She wasn't rich, nor was she generous.
Iwagakure is more like a small feudal dynasty, where women do not flirt with others or show off their bodies. It is for this reason that there are many brothels in Iwagakure.
Things that cannot be done during the day can be done at night, and not only can they be done, but they can also be done in every conceivable way.
Iwagakure might be a shadow of its former self, but it still had its share of nobility.
Unlike the Land of Fire, where the Hokage and the Daimyo were equals, in the Land of Earth, the Tsuchikage held most of the power, and the nobles do not live in the Land of Earth's capital simply because it is not a village.
In short, Iwagakure's people were conservative on the surface, but they're wild behind closed doors. They are like the ancient scholars who bowed politely to beauties by day, but swapped concubines by night.
Kurotsuchi has indeed reached the most beautiful age for a woman, but due to the etiquette of Iwgakure, she couldn't show cleavage, so she can only show her legs. But once she becomes the Tsuchikage, she can show whatever she wants.
"Thanks. What do you like about me? I'll change it." Kurotsuchi said politely, thinking to herself, 'Why don't you just drop dead, you bastard?'
"Legs." Naruto pointed to her fishnet stockings and said it simply.
Instantly, the expression on Kurotsuchi's face froze, and she thought to herself, 'If I I'd known you were into this, I would've stuffed myself and turned these into stubby radish legs. Damn pervert.'
"Heh." She gritted her teeth and maintained a smile on the surface, but she had already cursed Naruto countless times in her heart.
But she was outmatched, and she knew that when she's under someone else's roof, she had to bow her head. Even without fighting, Kurotsuchi could clearly feel the difference in strength between her and the pervert in front of her.
Generally speaking, the difference in strength cannot be seen, and you had to experience them firsthand. But in some special cases, certain people radiated danger so palpably that the other knew at a glance.
She looked at Naruto again. He had the annoying blond hair. And after confirming her eyes, she knew he was someone she couldn't beat. His dangerous aura was inexplicable, and she's like a deer instinctively freezing before a lion.
It was an instinctive reaction from the bottom of her heart, and her sixth sense was alerted like crazy.
"Actually, I brought you here because I need a small favor from you." Naruto hesitated for a moment, but still revealed his true purpose.
"What could I possibly help you with?" Kurotsuchi asked, looking at Naruto warily.
"It's like this…" Naruto walked slowly, pretending to be in deep thought, and started with the classic words, "I have this friend…"
"Look, there's no need to beat around the bush. There are no outsiders here." Kurotsuchi interrupted Naruto. She hated men who waffled like this the most.
"Well, my teacher is over fifty years old and is already halfway into the grave. His only wish now is to have more believers. I don't have any skills, so I can't fulfill his dream." Naruto said sincerely.
After his long-winded spiel, Kurotsuchi finally understood, 'This guy went around in circles, talking about legs and friends, so it's just because he wants me to join a cult?'
"What kind of religion?"
"The Jashinism, where fortune favors the busty!" Naruto declared loudly.
'Jashinism? Isn't that a small cult in the Land of Hot Water?'
'I heard that the believers there are so crazy that they not only use blood as medicine, but also risk their lives by piercing themselves just to seek the blessing of the so-called Jashin.'
"I've never heard of this religion, and I'm going to be the Tsuchikage in the future, so I can't believe in this religion. I'm sorry." Kurotsuchi's refusal was unexpectedly firm.
Hearing this, Naruto was stunned and slightly surprised.
'Wait, was I asking for your opinion? I was just informing you. Why are you telling me all this? Whether you can or can't doesn't matter to me… you have to comply.'
"Are you Onoki's only granddaughter?" He suddenly asked.
She had braced herself for his anger, but instead, he veered off-script. Not only was he not mad, but he also asked a completely unrelated question.
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"Then do you know that without my permission, there's no way out of here?" Naruto pointed at the sealed space and asked again.
"No, I didn't." She shook her head, not quite understanding the connection between the two.
But she was also a little nervous, not knowing what this person might say next. Maybe he would threaten her with violence and not let her go if she didn't obey or refused a certain posture.
But instead…
"That means that if I go out and tell that old geezer Onoki right now that you are pregnant with my child, he will not only have to accept it with a pinch of his nose, but he will also have to ask me if the baby's safe?"
"Hah?!" Kurotsuchi was dumbfounded. This was a path she had never imagined.
'Damn! Too shameless, what kind of speech is this? It is obviously a tense negotiation. Shouldn't it be tense first and then I resolve the crisis with my wit?'
'Why the hell the first thing he said was pregnancy and baby? Since when were high-level powerhouses this low?'
Although it has to be said that this method is very outrageous, it does work. Kurotsuchi can already imagine that if what the blond bastard said came true, with her grandfather's temper, he would absolutely grit his teeth and accept it.
Their family line wasn't exactly thriving, and her grandfather was always worried about the succession of the Tsuchikage's position.
Even though she was already the best of the younger generation, she still couldn't satisfy her grandfather enough.
While he was angry, that wouldn't stop his soft spot for his descendants. Her grandfather might want to kill this blond bastard, but for her own sake, he would probably hold back.
But this method was just too underhanded. It was downright inhuman.
"You you you…!!!!" She stumbled back several meters, pointing at Naruto with a shocked look on her face.
