Chapter Eighty-One: The Art of Spiritual Communication

  On a sunny afternoon, I was walking down the street in high spirits, planning to buy some delicious food. However, my peaceful life didn't last long. As I walked halfway, I was dragged away by Naruto, who said he had met some sort of immortal and wanted him to teach him an extremely powerful technique, and asked me to accompany him.

  "What's up, immortal guy? I brought a girl from my team to practice with me." Naru-tan dragged the reluctant person over to where they could see the girl in the swimsuit. Then he spotted Jiraiya sneaking a peek at the girl in the swimsuit from behind a bush, grinning to himself.

  "Girl?! Is that a beautiful young maiden?!"" Upon hearing the word "girl", Naruto immediately turned his head, his eyes sparkling with stars.

  "Not at all, just a girl of the same age as me, really perverted, what a pervert. Minato didn't hesitate to throw a huge sanitary pad at Jiraiya."

  "Don't spout nonsense all the time, what's with all this 'something' business!! (Please forgive me for not using that certain word, those who've read Naruto should know what I'm referring to) What's with all this 'sage' nonsense!! I am Jiraiya-sama, the Toad Sage!! The name 'Toad Sage' is just a pseudonym to deceive the world, but I can do anything effortlessly, and no one in the entire land of the five directions can rival me... the White-Haired Young Master Jiraiya-sama can even make crying children shut up! That's right, I'm talking about myself!!" As he spoke, an enormous toad suddenly appeared from under his feet.

  "I've already heard this for the second time." Naruto looked at Jiraiya with a scornful expression.

  "Toad; ...? No matter how I look at it, it's just a toad." I glanced sideways at the so-called toad under Jiraiya's feet, full of suspicion.

  "……" He was also very embarrassed, he didn't think that he would be so unconvincing in front of two little kids.

  "Alright, alright, don't disturb me while I'm gathering materials." Zilai waved his hand in a shooing motion, then his eyes moved back to the bikini-clad girls playing in the river.

  "What's going on?" looked at Naruto and Sasuke with confusion.

  "Kakashi has this habit of reading that book called 'Intimate Paradise' whenever he's got nothing to do, and it's actually written by him. He's a total pervert (I couldn't write some words because I searched them online, but I think many people understand what I mean)."

  Naruto said with disdain, then looked at Hatake's face and froze. What's going on? Why was Kakashi just expressionless earlier, but now his face is full of admiration? What happened?!

  "Uncle Zhilaiya, I'm your loyal book fan, please sign these books for me." Quickly moved to Zhilaiya's side and then piled all the "Intimate Paradise" in front of him.

  "Wow!! I didn't think my book was so famous, but little girl, this is an 18+ restricted book, how did you manage to buy it?" Jiraiya smiled like a blooming flower as he signed his name on his masterpiece with a pen.

  "It was Mr. Kakkashi who lent it to me, and he said that this book was a birthday gift from Jiraiya-sama when he was eighteen years old." I secretly wiped the sweat, I couldn't possibly tell him that my age had long since exceeded eighteen.

  Naruto, who was listening in on the side, had already been petrified. Akane Sakuragi, who was always intelligent, cool and mysterious, and often very gentle, actually reads this kind of magazine?! And to make matters worse, this book was a gift that Kakashi-sensei received on his 18th birthday!!

  "Uncle, I have one more thing that I'm really curious about. I heard that you were caught peeking at the women's bathhouse and got beaten up so badly that six of your ribs were broken, both wrists were fractured, and several internal organs were ruptured, almost killing you. Is this true?"

  I put away the signed "Intimate Paradise" and looked at him curiously. I wouldn't tell him that Snake Uncle told me about this, nor would I mention that I showed these books to Snake Uncle too.

  "...how did you know about this?" Jiraiya's smile froze on his face, and his complexion suddenly turned pale, as if he didn't want to recall the incident.

  "Many ninjas knew about it."

  A cold sweat trickled down his forehead as he thought to himself, it seems that for the next few years, he won't be coming to Konoha again. The women here are one more fierce than the other, and that matter has actually been known by so many people already. He'd better go somewhere else to gather material...

  Naruto's eyes widened, and then he burst out laughing "Hahahaha... being beaten up like this for peeking at the women's bath, this must be the revenge of the gods!"

  "Cough, cough!! Alright then, I'll teach you a powerful technique called the Spirit Technique." Jiraiya made a seal and a toad appeared under his feet... err, a giant toad, which handed over a scroll from its mouth to Naruto.

  "This is the spiritual scroll that has been passed down through generations in my family, as long as you write a name on it, you can summon a toad spirit. Remember, the seals are Hai, Xu, You, Shen and Wei."

  "That's amazing!!"

  "I don't need it anymore, I didn't want to summon a toad..."

  Watching Naruto write his name in blood on the scroll, then attempt to seal and summon, I stared at a small tadpole jumping around on the ground with Jiraiya.

  "Ahh!! Why is it a tadpole, not a frog?! Naruto was scratching his head in confusion and shouting loudly, then he didn't believe it and summoned again, but the result was still a tadpole..."

  Staring at Naruto again and again, but still summoning is a tadpole. I curiously bite my finger, then seal "Hai, Xu, You, Shen, Wei - Tong Ling Zhi Shu."

  "Wait!!" However, Kagome's call was too late, but fortunately the child had not been transported to a different time and space. A figure emerged from the white mist.

  The white fog gradually dispersed, and it was clear what had been summoned. A snow-white robe with hand-embroidered cherry blossoms, silver hair cascading like a waterfall, golden eyes cold and emotionless, the moon mark on his forehead and the demon marks on his cheeks made him, who was already extremely handsome, reveal some evil charm.

  Naruto stared blankly at the boy who was summoned by Hinata, who looked to be around the same age as him. Then he suddenly came back to his senses and turned his head towards the girl not far away from him. She was completely different from her usual self. Her face had turned deathly pale, her expression was somewhat flustered, and her eyes were fixed intently on the boy she had summoned, seemingly extremely afraid of him. Then she suddenly turned around and started running wildly, but before she could take a few steps, the boy grabbed her by the collar and lifted her off the ground...

  But isn't the spirit summoning technique supposed to summon a spirit beast? Why did Kurenai summon a person instead? But what's with the fluffy and loose fur on his body? It looks weird, definitely not a good guy.
