Chapter 19: Big Bro, I Will Definitely Seize the Future
An hour and a half later,
Naruto felt it was about enough.
"Okay—that's it for today's training."
Are you kidding?
He still had to distribute Jiraiya's great masterpieces.
Let the flowers of Konoha… the man-eating plants of the village bathe in the nourishment of spiritual civilization.
"Huh? So soon? Big bro, I still have energy! I'm not afraid of hardship—I can keep going!"
The still-transformed Konohamaru said reluctantly.
Konohamaru's transformation skills were still amateur-level—the girl form was only average-looking.
cough cough…
Everyone, don't misunderstand.
He was properly clothed.
"Forgive me, Konohamaru—see you next time."
Naruto reached out and flicked Konohamaru's forehead.
The motion was straight out of Itachi Uchiha's playbook.
Gotta admit—
it felt pretty satisfying.
At least for Naruto, the flick was delightful.
"Oh right—this is for you. Take it home and study it carefully."
Naruto casually handed over the book he had already read.
Konohamaru took it, puzzled.
"Big bro, what's this for? Is there some powerful training method hidden inside?"
Who else was he supposed to give it to?
The system never said it had to be someone the same age.
Besides—ninjas need to be trained from childhood!
Only then can they shine brilliantly in the future.
Naruto grinned, speaking with fake solemnity:
"Exactly—this is one of Jiraiya's lifelong masterpieces! Jiraiya—one of the Legendary Sannin of our village—earned his fame through his cultural and spiritual influence."
"Not only is his ninjutsu powerful, his writing is top-tier."
"Is that important? No—it's not. What matters is that he poured all his lifetime ninjutsu insights into this book."
"I saw fate between us, so this book—originally worth 648 gold coins—is now yours for free."
"You must study it diligently. Don't let me down after all my effort."
Konohamaru's eyes sparkled like stars.
His small hands gripped the book tightly.
In that instant, it felt like he had seized the future!
"Big bro—I will never let you down!"
"Yosh! That's the spirit! Keep practicing hard! Once you reach a certain level, you'll be able to wear girls' clothes to school without anyone noticing. Then you can truly seize the future—the next Hokage will be you, Konohamaru!"
"I will definitely seize the future!"
"…"
The ANBU members—whose nosebleeds had barely stopped—were stunned again.
They looked at each other.
From their comrades' faces, they could read the same shock and strangeness.
"Holy shit! The Third Hokage's grandson is going to start cross-dressing for training?!"
"Captain—should we report this to Lord Third?"
"Report my ass! Didn't you hear Naruto? Cross-dressing is for better training. Keep your damn minds clean."
"Captain—we didn't mean it like that… but the young master's performance just now was really impressive."
"Shut the hell up. This stays between us—don't breathe a word to anyone, got it? The young master is destined to seize the future and become Hokage! We support him unconditionally!"
At that moment, one young ANBU member scratched his head awkwardly.
Pointing toward Konohamaru, he said:
"Captain… I've read Lord Jiraiya's book… the content inside…"
"You think you're the only one? The moment Jiraiya releases a book, we all skip work to buy it, okay?"
"Heh heh heh… Lord Jiraiya's writing is still as spicy as ever. The stories hit all the right spots for us."
"No—no, that's not what I meant."
"Then what the hell are you trying to say? Spit it out!"
After hesitating for a moment,
the young member steeled himself and voiced his concern.
"The young master is still so young… isn't Lord Jiraiya's book a bit too early for him?"
The group fell silent for a second.
Then the ANBU captain smacked the back of the young member's head.
"Too early my ass—I understood this stuff when I was still in split-crotch pants!"
"Captain is awesome! Truly our boss."
"Lead the way, veteran driver."
The captain cleared his throat lightly.
With righteous indignation, he lectured the smacked member:
"Naruto already said it—Lord Jiraiya's book contains insights and secrets related to Rasengan training."
"Lord Jiraiya, just like the Fourth Hokage, can also use Rasengan."
"Maybe between the lines there are hidden ninjutsu tips."
"We just aren't at a high enough level to comprehend them."
One member opened his mouth and said:
"Captain, we're jonin after all. If even we can't see it, how did Naruto figure it out?"
Another member snapped back irritably:
"Are you stupid?! If Naruto couldn't see it, how did he use Rasengan just now? No one taught him—did he learn it by himself?"
"Huh?? You're right."
"No way—after work I'm going home to read every line carefully!"
"My copy got confiscated by the old man at home. Lend me yours first."
"Hell no! There are Rasengan training secrets in there—I'd be an idiot to give it to you."
"Come on—hand it over, be good."
"Bro, nooo!!!"
"Let me see!!"
"…"
