On the main road outside Konoha Village.
Kazama sauntered back to the main gate and stretched.
If being a Jōnin Instructor could always be this leisurely, then leading Genin every day wouldn't be unacceptable.
Why bother teaching personally when you can lie down and count money?
Outsourcing is the way to go.
As soon as he stepped across Konoha's main gate, the System's reward arrived.
【Ding!】
【Detected that the Host successfully guided Sakura Haruno onto the path of forbidden scientific research, judged as granting an important opportunity to the Host!】
【Triggered Critical Strike Return!】
【Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Taijutsu System Inheritance: Complete Mastery of the Navy Six Styles, along with the complete set of tutoring abilities!】
Six types of force-exertion techniques, completely different from the Chakra system, flooded into Kazama's mind.
Moonwalk, which treads on the air to float; Tempest Kick, which kicks the air to form a Wind Blade; and Soru, which instantly treads the ground dozens of times to complete high-speed movement.
Finger Pistol, whose finger force can pierce targets; Kami-e, which dodges by complying with airflow; and Iron Body, which tightens the body into a shield.
Kazama moved his wrists and pondered.
Except for Iron Body, the other five moves are very suitable for the The Three Little Ones to practice.
As for Iron Body, whoever wants to train in this thing can train in it; it is purely a joke skill.
Kazama was in a good mood, and his stomach let out a rumble in response.
"The first thing upon returning to the village is to get a hot bowl of something first."
He strolled toward the Ichiraku Ramen shop.
Before he even got close, Teuchi's shouting came from inside the shop.
"Naruto! Be quick with your hands and feet!"
"The third meeting room of the Hokage Building ordered five super-large bowls of tonkotsu ramen! The Military Police Force also ordered four!"
"If you exceed the time limit, the other party will dock your delivery fee!"
As soon as Kazama stepped inside, seeing the scene in the shop, he almost couldn't keep a straight face.
Naruto, who was frantically stuffing noodle bowls into a large insulated wooden box, was wearing a forgiving-green tight jumpsuit identical to Might Guy's.
Not only that, but his spiky blonde hair was also combed into a standard bowl cut.
"Old man, stop urging me! Even if you urge me, I can't grow eight hands!"
Naruto frantically tied the rope knot tightly.
"As long as I deliver it on time this month, you can't go back on your promise of a month's worth of free luxury chashu ramen!"
Teuchi scooped the piping hot noodle soup into the takeout wooden barrels while shouting back at the top of his lungs.
"When have I ever lied to you! But rules are rules, it must be delivered within ten minutes! There are only three minutes left now!"
"If it exceeds the time limit and the customer cancels the order, honestly wash dishes here for the next half month to pay off the debt!"
"Three minutes?"
Naruto let out a weird cry.
The Hokage Building is right in the north of the village, and the Military Police Force is in the west. Even running at full speed using a Genin's foot strength, a round trip would take at least fifteen minutes.
"It's over, it's over, a month of luxury chashu is going to fly away..." Naruto wailed in agony.
Kazama leaned against the doorframe, crossed his arms, and joked, "Yo, isn't this my beloved student Naruto, how did you become a delivery boy?"
When Naruto saw Kazama, his eyes lit up.
"Teacher Kazama! You came just in time! Lend me some money, and I'll directly hire a few people to run errands for me!"
Kazama rolled his eyes: "In your dreams, your teacher's pockets are cleaner than your face."
Teuchi placed the last two sealed soup buckets into the box on Naruto's back.
"Naruto, the countdown has two minutes and fifty seconds left! If you don't leave now, it really will be too late!"
Naruto stood on the bluestone slab road in front of the ramen shop, his face flushed red with anxiety.
For a month of free luxury chashu ramen!
In order not to wash dishes!
Let's go all out!
Naruto took half a step back, withdrew his right leg backward, and lowered his center of gravity.
His arms crossed in front of his chest into an X shape, and the muscles all over his body instantly tensed up.
Kazama raised an eyebrow.
This starting stance was too familiar.
That guy Guy really held nothing back from Naruto.
"Eight Inner Gates..."
As soon as his voice fell, with a boom, Chakra turbulence surrounded Naruto's body.
Green steam rose from the surface of his body.
"Gate of Opening, Open!!"
Naruto let out a low roar, and the bluestone slabs under his feet instantly cracked into several fragments.
"My luxury chashu ramen! No one is allowed to take it away, ahhhhh!"
With a swish, the ground under Naruto's feet sank into a shallow pit.
He had completely turned into a cyan-green shadow, running wildly along the rooftops of Konoha Village.
Along the way, it whipped up a gust of wind, blowing away the awnings of several fruit stalls on the street side.
At this moment, in the center of the main street.
Iruka Umino was holding a thick patrol record book, solemnly checking the security situation of the merchants.
Iruka only felt a gust of wind sweep past, his scalp tingling, and his Konoha Headband on top of his head was almost blown off.
Pat.
The record book fell from his hands.
Iruka raised his head. Above the rooftops, a green shadow with terrifying Chakra fluctuations was rapidly speeding away.
Iruka was more than familiar with that person's face.
"Na... Naruto?"
Iruka's heart trembled.
That astonishing Chakra fluctuation, as well as the force-exertion posture that unsealed bodily limits.
Isn't this Might Guy's signature Ninjutsu, the Eight Inner Gates?
Why would such a self-harming move that forcibly squeezes out life potential appear on the newly graduated Naruto?
"Naruto! Stop! Hurry up and stop!"
Iruka shouted at the top of his lungs, leaping and chasing on the rooftops.
However, the speed of Naruto after opening the Gate of Opening was simply not something an ordinary Chunin like him could catch up with.
With just a single turn, that green shadow disappeared in the direction of the Hokage Building.
"Damn it! Lost him!"
Iruka stopped on a rooftop, panting heavily, trembling all over with anxiety.
"That's not right, why does Naruto know Lord Guy's Ninjutsu? Isn't Naruto's current team-leading Jonin Kazama?"
In his heart, he couldn't help blaming Kazama.
As an instructor, what on earth is he doing? How could he let Naruto come into contact with such a fatal Forbidden Jutsu!
Seeing that he couldn't catch up to Naruto, Iruka had no choice but to continue patrolling the street, and happened to arrive near Ichiraku Ramen.
Lifting the noren curtain, he met Kazama sitting on a wooden stool right in front of him.
Kazama was holding a large bowl with one hand, slurping two strands of ramen into his mouth, muttering unclearly.
"Uncle Teuchi, your noodles are a bit expensive, but eating them doesn't give you heartburn."
Teuchi responded with a chuckle: "In our line of work, ingredients are the bottom line, and the rules cannot be broken."
Saying this, Teuchi added another ladle of broth into the large pot.
"Uncle, you use freshly brewed broth as the soup base every day, aren't you afraid of losing money?" Kazama asked again.
"Afraid, but even more afraid of a messy account book."
"Then what if it's not finished by tomorrow?"
"Make it first."
"What about the rest?"
"Pour it out."
