"Lustful Sage, Lustful Sage, Lustful Sage, Lustful Sage, Lustful Sage..." Naruto stood on the rooftop, looking around for someone's figure while repeating the same word over and over again.
At this time, Ebisu caught up and shouted, "Naruto! The chance to be guided by me is what many people dream of but can't get!"
Naruto showed a very disgusted expression again. His eyes were as if he had seen feces, and his expression seemed to say: I don't need it at all.
"What do you mean by that? What kind of look are you giving me!" Ebisu got angry.
"Wait a minute," Naruto said. "Teacher Kakashi sent you to guide me. I'll have you go and guide Sakura."
Ebisu felt a bit hurt. What did Naruto take him for? A ball that could be kicked to someone else?
Naruto then said, "Sakura is a very cute girl. She's currently confused and doesn't know how to work hard. She really needs a powerful mentor to teach her."
"I think you're also confused and in need of guidance," Ebisu said. "You've wasted half a day wandering around aimlessly. It's obvious that you've lost yourself."
"..." Naruto gave Ebisu a look as if he were looking at a fool, pursing his lips and staring at him.
Naruto thought to himself: Is this what you call wandering around aimlessly? I'm very clear about my goal. The most important teacher in my life can only be that lustful old man! No one can take this place from him!
Just then, Naruto noticed a sneaky figure at a certain public bathhouse. He saw the figure creeping furtively and slipping to the backside of the public bathhouse.
"Found him!" Naruto was overjoyed. He jumped directly from the rooftop and ran towards the public bathhouse, with Ebisu right behind him.
At the backside of the public bathhouse, in an empty corner, a middle - aged man with white hair was squatting. He seemed to be peeping at the spring scenery inside the bathhouse through the wooden cracks of the building.
"Wow... this is amazing. It's really amazing... wow... hehehehe..." The middle - aged man seemed to be completely entranced and didn't notice that two people had come behind him at all.
Ebisu noticed this middle - aged man who was peeping at the bathhouse. Then, with a look of righteousness on his face, he said, "I don't know who you are, but what you're doing is truly despicable. With me here, I won't allow you to act recklessly."
Ebisu shouted and rushed towards the middle - aged man. Because Ebisu's voice was really loud, the middle - aged man was immediately dissatisfied, because when peeping, quietness was the top priority. If there was too much noise, it was easy to startle the ladies in the hot spring.
"Hmm? Really." Being interrupted in his fun, the middle - aged man instantly changed his expression. He formed Hand Seal with his left hand, and white smoke billowed up from below. A huge orange Frog was summoned under him. This frog was extremely large, almost two meters tall, and it directly carried the middle - aged man on its back.
"What!" Ebisu was greatly shocked. He originally thought it was just a small - time hooligan, but unexpectedly, this person could use Summoning Jutsu.
The orange Frog opened its big mouth and spat out a long tongue, which directly wrapped around Ebisu's waist, lifted him up high, and then smashed him heavily onto the ground.
The whole process was so fast that it was like lightning striking without giving any warning. Ebisu, who didn't have time to react, was knocked unconscious and collapsed to the ground.
"Wow! Awesome! One move and he took down a Jonin!" Naruto exclaimed excitedly. "I gotta learn this skill too, taking down Jonins with one move."
Naruto rushed forward and shouted, "Who the hell are you? What are you doing here?" Naruto was asking knowingly because he wanted to interact with this middle - aged uncle in front of him.
"That's a good question," the middle - aged uncle stood on the back of the big orange frog, gesturing wildly. "I'm the Immortal Suto, the spirit of the frogs from Mount Myoboku, also known as the Frog Sage. Nice to meet you!"
"What Frog Sage!" Naruto cursed. "I think you're the so - called Lustful Sage! Do you know where this is? The public bathhouse you were peeping at is mine." Then he took out the business license of the public bathhouse.
The Frog Sage stared at the business license in Naruto's hand and saw the Hokage's seal on it, proving that the license was real and this public bathhouse really belonged to this young kid in front of him.
"How nice," the Frog Sage said enviously. "You're so young and you own such a precious property."
Naruto also pointed at Ebisu, who was lying motionless on the ground, and said, "He's a Konoha Jonin, and I spent a fortune hiring him. And you just knocked him out!"
Actually, Naruto was just talking nonsense. Ebisu wasn't his bodyguard at all. It was Kakashi who invited Ebisu to teach Naruto how to train.
"Because that guy was in the way of my material collection," the Frog Sage took a liking to Naruto because Naruto owned such a precious property. In the whole Konoha Village, the place in Naruto's hands was the most valuable. He was really promising at a young age.
"I'm a writer. To write a novel, I definitely need to collect materials. How can I write a good novel without extraordinary experiences?" The Frog Sage took out a book from his bosom and showed it to Naruto.
Naruto had already finished reading this book. He borrowed it from Kakashi. Since Kakashi was always holding this book, Naruto was really curious about the content. Whenever he had a chance, he would definitely read it.
At first, Kakashi was hesitant to lend the book to Naruto because he thought Naruto was too young.
Naruto had no other way, so he invited Hinata out. Right under Kakashi's nose, Naruto went on his first date with Hinata. This happened after the first round of the Chunin Exams.
Kakashi widened his only exposed right eye. In his shocked eyes, Naruto was holding a small spoon to feed Hinata strawberry - flavored ice cream.
Even though half of Kakashi's face was covered, it was clear that he was blushing deeply. Naruto fed Hinata the ice cream spoon by spoon. After she finished, he didn't forget to use a handkerchief to wipe the cream from the corner of her mouth.
Naruto's first date with Hinata was very short, probably less than ten minutes. After seeing Hinata off, Naruto proudly showed a Big bro - like demeanor in front of Kakashi.
Kakashi was convinced on the spot. He presented the book with both hands. At that time, cold sweat was pouring down his face. He thought, "I really can't underestimate the young guys these days. They're much better than I was before."
"Heheh..." Thinking of these things that happened not long ago, Naruto couldn't help laughing. Then he said, "I've finished reading your book. It's really well - written!"
Hearing this, the Frog Sage showed an extremely delighted expression and his body couldn't stop trembling. He thought to himself: It seems that my book has become well - known. Even a random stranger has read it...
"Anyway," Naruto said with a raised corner of his mouth. "This is the bathhouse I'm running, and you were peeping here. So you have to pay me something, like teaching me how to train!"
"I'm too lazy to deal with you," the Frog Sage said as he walked away. "I'm going to other places to gather materials. Don't bother me. Only by constantly gathering materials can I write the greatest works."
"Hey, wait, Lustful Sage," Naruto took out a Scroll from his bosom and said very proudly, "This is the greatest treasure of Konoha Village."
"Oh?" the Frog Sage said in a flat tone. "What is it?"
"The Peeping Map of Konoha Village," Naruto said and then showed a mischievous smile.
