Chapter 143: What Does Kissing Naruto Feel Like?

Regarding face issues, Naruto retorted, "Who said that? I have other ninjutsu, like the seduction technique and Rasengan."

Tōshirō cut to the point: "But do you know the five great nature transformations?"

Naruto was speechless and, upon thinking about it carefully, realized he didn't know any.

"Your teacher, Jiraiya, is going to become Hokage soon. He will be busy with official duties and won't have time to teach you anymore."

Naruto fell silent. He was happy for his teacher becoming Hokage, but this meant he wouldn't have anyone to guide him.

"Throughout your growth, you must have had someone you saw as a rival, right?"

Naruto clenched his fists slightly, his eyes filled with determination: "Okay, let's train."

Tōshirō gave a light hum, and things proceeded smoothly.

"What ninjutsu will you teach me?"

Naruto asked, curious, looking at the boy around his age.

"What kind of ninjutsu I teach you depends on you," Tōshirō said, raising his right hand and poking Naruto's forehead with his index finger.

"Me?" Naruto blinked, slightly stunned.

"Anyway, let me first get you a chakra test paper," Tōshirō said. He knew Naruto's chakra nature was wind, but since he decided to teach, there had to be a formal process to follow.

"Chakra test paper?" Naruto tilted his head, unfamiliar with the term.

"This is a special paper to test chakra properties. I'll explain it to you once I get it."

"How do we get it?"

"I'll ask Tsunade… uh, mom, to help me get it."

Naruto excitedly ran in place: "Let's hurry up and go then!"

With that, Tōshirō and Naruto headed towards Tsunade's house. After a few steps, a harsh voice suddenly interrupted them: "Yo, isn't this the Nine-Tails brat? I heard you did well in the Chuunin Exams."

A few people blocked their path. From their appearance, they didn't seem too old, just a couple of years older than Tōshirō and Naruto. They wore casual clothes with forehead protectors. If they were Chuunin, they would usually be wearing green vests, so these were likely Genin.

Although all Genin, the physical differences were clear. Naruto stood at their chin level, and his aura was noticeably smaller.

"Oh, it's you. What's up?" Naruto said flatly, even somewhat annoyed.

"Don't think that just because you passed the Chuunin Exams, you're so amazing," the leader of the Genin, a guy with acne, sneered.

Tōshirō stepped aside, narrowing his eyes, silently observing.

Naruto was really irritated by their taunting: "When did I ever say I was amazing?"

These people had bullied and insulted him since he was little.

"The fact that you don't care about anything is exactly what I dislike about you."

"You're just looking for trouble, aren't you?"

Naruto clenched his fists and cracked his knuckles, ready to fight.

He was right. These people were just looking for trouble. The Chuunin Exams were held twice a year, usually an important event for observing the strength of different countries.

Since it concerned the village's reputation, they would carefully select which ninjas to recommend. They had failed in recent years, and because of that, the village didn't let them continue this time. They couldn't afford the embarrassment.

That was no big deal, but when they saw Naruto, the underdog, manage to pass all the rounds and even defeat a genius like Neji Hyuga, they were filled with jealousy and anger, leading to this confrontation.

"Hey, Nine-Tails, don't blame us for ganging up on you, you're a freak."

Naruto formed a cross hand seal and summoned eight clones, making it nine in total. "If that's how it is, don't blame me for ganging up on you," he said, returning the favor.

The three senior Genin were stunned but not afraid. They yelled and charged forward.

Soon, both sides clashed.

Tōshirō, watching from the side, did not intervene. At this stage, Naruto had made significant progress and could easily handle these Genin. Slowly, Naruto gained the upper hand, but then something unexpected happened.

"Everything is because of you, your parents died that night because of you."

Upon hearing those words, Naruto's eyes widened. His shoulders slumped, and he forgot to counterattack.

The senior Genin seized the opportunity and punched Naruto's face. Naruto flew backward and hit the ground with the back of his head.

The Genin sat on Naruto's waist and began to punch his face, crying out: "My parents died protecting me, crushed by falling debris, right in front of me…"

Naruto didn't fight back, letting them hit him.

Each word felt like a weight on his heart, causing him even more pain.

The surrounding villagers watched the scene unfold, but when they saw it was Naruto being beaten, they chose to ignore it.

After a while, the senior Genin's hand grew tired. "You killed my parents. You're my enemy."

Naruto, bruised and bloodied, spoke quietly: "If this helps you feel better…"

The senior Genin's face twisted with hatred and malice.

He had been jealous of Naruto's performance in the Chuunin Exams and used it as an outlet for his anger over losing his family to the Nine-Tails. But this emotion had slowly transformed into hatred.

After losing something important, people often try to fill the emptiness. This misplaced anger can cloud judgment and lead to losing control.

And then, they start hurting others.

"Stop pretending, you Nine-Tails freak."

The senior Genin's expression was fierce as he raised his fist, ready to strike.

Suddenly, he was stopped as his wrist was bound by something cold as ice. His eyes widened in shock as he saw the ice chains.

"You should stop now," Tōshirō said, stepping forward.

"What does it matter to you if we're beating up the Nine-Tails?" the senior Genin sneered, glaring menacingly.

Tōshirō put his hands in his pockets, disinterested: "It really doesn't concern me."

The senior Genin was momentarily confused by the unexpected answer.

"But I just ate ramen, so I'm full and have nothing better to do. You can't stop me from having some fun."

With cold eyes, Tōshirō effortlessly used the ice chains to tie up the senior Genin and beat him, literally hanging them up.

After dealing with the low-level Genin, Tōshirō walked over and helped Naruto to his feet. "How are you? Are you okay?"

Naruto shook his head. Compared to the physical pain, it was the emotional hurt that hurt him the most.

Tōshirō shook his head. He respected Naruto's character, but he didn't want to be like him.

It was exhausting.

Tōshirō took Naruto back to his home and gently knocked on his room door.

Just then, a charming face peeked out: "Didn't we agree that I'm researching treatment? Don't bother me unless it's something important... uh, what's wrong with him?"

Seeing Naruto's bruised face, Tsunade showed an expression of shock.

Tōshirō shrugged: "Isn't it obvious? This guy got beaten up."

"How did he get beaten for no reason?" Tsunade was confused.

Tōshirō briefly explained the sequence of events.

Afterward, he glanced at the younger Tsunade beside him to see her reaction.

The younger Tsunade was furious, feeling that it was too much.

Tsunade sighed deeply after hearing the explanation, feeling sorry for Naruto.

Since the person involved didn't want to say anything, she couldn't push him further and could only pity him.

"Tsunade... Mom..." Tōshirō said the name in a somewhat awkward manner.

Tsunade blinked her bright eyes: "What's wrong, my dear son?"

"Do you have chakra paper?"

"What do you need that for?"

Tōshirō explained the reason, and after hearing it, Tsunade rummaged through her drawer and found a dry piece of paper.

Tōshirō took the chakra paper and took Naruto to a secluded grove to train.

He handed the paper over, then briefly explained the five basic chakra types and how chakra changes on the paper.

After understanding, Naruto injected his chakra into the paper. Soon, the paper split into two, and he stared blankly.

Tōshirō praised: "Wind Release is when chakra is converted into wind, using the properties of gas pressure to cut and blow enemies away. You naturally possess this chakra attribute, so training it will be much easier."

"Much easier?"

"Simply put, everyone has a specialty in a certain ninjutsu. If you train in Wind Release, it will be much more convenient for you compared to someone who doesn't have wind chakra. For example, the Uchiha clan in Konoha naturally possesses fire chakra, so most of them are good at Fire Release."

Hearing this, Naruto made a connection and clenched his fist, knocking his open left hand, realizing: "So that's why Sasuke is so good at Fire Release."

Tōshirō slightly nodded.

"But speaking of which, how do you know so much about the Uchiha clan?"

Tōshirō joked: "Because I'm from the Uchiha clan."

Naruto froze: "What?"

"Haha, just kidding. The Uchiha clan is one of the most prestigious clans in the ninja world, so it's only normal that I know a lot about them."

Naruto suddenly realized: "I thought so, there's no way you'd be from the Uchiha clan..."

As if remembering something, he lowered his gaze.

"What's wrong?"

Naruto forced a bitter smile: "If you were really from the Uchiha clan, I think Sasuke would be really happy."

"Sasuke?"

"Never mind," Naruto brushed it off. He didn't want to bring up his friend's wounds in front of others.

Tōshirō lowered his gaze, genuinely saying: "I see, you're truly a kind person."

Naruto scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Tōshirō thought of something and called out his name.

"What's up?"

Tōshirō suddenly asked: "By the way, have you ever kissed someone?"

Recalling unpleasant memories, as if a fly had flown into his mouth, Naruto covered his throat with both hands.

"What's wrong? You look sick."

Naruto's first kiss was with a man, and his second one was with the same man.

Just thinking about it made him want to hang himself.

"Why are you asking this?"

"Well, how should I put it?"

Tōshirō scratched his cheek, looking embarrassed: "It's a bit shameful. I'm almost 13, but I've never kissed a girl. I thought, since you're so kind, many girls must like you, so I wanted to ask you for advice on how to get to that point."

"Uh... you came to the right person."

Naruto put on a proud face, trying to save his face.

Tōshirō smacked his lips, looking yearning: "What's kissing like?"

What's it like?

It's the feeling of wanting to die.

One wrong step leads to eternal regret. Naruto really wanted to slap himself: "It's just a soft feeling."

He was making it up.

Tōshirō nodded approvingly: "So kissing is wonderful, huh?"

"Uh, yeah."

Tōshirō asked again: "Do I need to prepare anything for it?"

You need a blind idiot behind you to push you...

"Cough, this question needs a detailed analysis. First, you have to get her out, then act accordingly."

Saying that was as good as saying nothing...

Tōshirō grabbed Naruto's hand, gratefully: "Thanks, great teacher. After some time, I'll ask Rangiku out."

He was originally teasing Naruto, but his words reminded him of something.

In this current time and space, Tōshirō could be carefree, but when he returned to his original world, he'd have to secretly date Tsunade and keep it a secret.

Since he had the opportunity now, he wanted to ask Tsunade out.
