"Ninja Art: Lion's Mane Hair!"
Jiraiya's white hair rapidly extended, wrapping around the backward-flying Naruto.
After kicking Naruto away in a fit of pique, Jiraiya suddenly remembered he hadn't finished giving instructions, so he had to pull him back.
Naruto, who was perfectly fine after being kicked, didn't make a note in his little notebook this time because he needed Jiraiya's help.
Looking at Jiraiya's retracted hair, Naruto's eyes sparkled as he said, "Sensei, I want to learn that!"
"Get lost!"
Although he was politely refused, Naruto didn't plan to give up. He definitely wanted to learn it later if he got the chance.
This technique was too perfect for him. With his Saiyan training method and his yellow hair, it would be a waste not to learn it.
After learning it, if he encountered someone he couldn't beat, he'd just unleash his chakra, extend his hair, and go into Super Saiyan mode.
He had even planned out the corresponding hair lengths.
Sage Mode, Super Saiyan 1.
Nine-Tails Mode, Super Saiyan 2.
Nine-Tails Sage Mode, Super Saiyan 3.
I, Uzumaki Kakarot, will smash that moon!
Jiraiya, having calmed down, ignored Naruto's gaze and sighed, listing some things Naruto needed to prepare for leaving the village.
Naruto readily agreed, but he hadn't prepared anything to bring. Aside from the pile of wives at home, he was the "has nothing" type.
After talking with Jiraiya, Naruto returned to the small forest.
Sasuke was training alone. Judging by how he punched through a tree with one hand, he wasn't in a good mood.
Naruto also started punching trees, occasionally sending his clones away.
After a while, a shadow clone returned with a resentful look, handed Naruto two slips of paper, and then, looking crazed, teleported away.
These shadow clones were sent to Raiga's gold mine to blast for gold.
Naruto needed to find a reason for the gold in his spatial dimension to appear in the real world.
Many ancient Chinese maxims have people who disagree with them, but the saying "wealth moves hearts" has, since its inception, convinced everyone.
It wouldn't matter in the future, but in this special period, if it was known that he could produce gold, it would undoubtedly give Danzō a good reason to make a move against him.
"Sasuke," Naruto called out to the brooding Sasuke (literally "Second Pillar").
"Hmm?"
"Here." Naruto handed him a slip of paper on which his previous plans were written.
"Finished reading?" Naruto asked.
"Mm." Sasuke's expression remained unchanged.
Naruto then pulled out an oil lamp and handed it to him, along with another slip of paper.
Sasuke opened the paper.
[Lighting this lamp can activate the secret technique - Strongest Summoning Jutsu, summoning a powerful individual named Uzumaki Naruto. This person is immensely formidable, capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks, blowing up lakes and filling seas. Please use with extreme caution and only when absolutely necessary.]
Note: When summoning, please do so in areas where Uzumaki Naruto and his clones have not walked through.
Note 2: Do not repeatedly light the lamp in areas where it has already been lit. Please move a certain distance away.
The oil lamp, an in-game item from the "Creating the World" game, could be used to open up vision, just like shadow clones. Naruto's teleportation gate required an opened vision to be activated.
When first opening up vision in a new place, Naruto had a special sensation; he could instantly teleport there.
If the oil lamp was lit in a place where vision had already been opened, Naruto wouldn't have that sensation; that would be a covered area.
Oil lamps and people had the same effect, covering a five-meter radius.
In other words, if Sasuke lit an oil lamp in a place Naruto hadn't been to, activating the Strongest Summoning Jutsu, after Naruto left, he would need to move a little distance to activate the next summoning jutsu.
Even if he moved a few centimeters, as long as vision was opened, Naruto would sense it.
Naruto had never actually put the oil lamp teleportation method into practical use, because its strategic value was simply too immense, so immense that it could change his entire life and prevent him from having a happy childhood.
Previous teleportation methods also had strategic value, usable for deploying small elite squads behind enemy lines for combat, but they required sending Naruto and his clones over first.
But if you could send the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki or a clone over, what's the point of small elite squads? Just go Tailed Beast Mode and rampage; a rampaging Nine-Tails could charge through the entire enemy camp.
Another method was to have Naruto walk through an area once, and then lure the enemy forward, which required the enemy's cooperation.
But with the oil lamp, it was different. It immediately elevated to the level of pseudo-Flying Raijin.
Unlike the Flying Raijin, which left no trace, his technique had too long a wind-up and glowed, making it easy to spot. Once spotted, it truly became a "teleportation for real" (meaning, easily exploited by the enemy).
Unless one could withstand the bombardment, no matter how many were sent, they'd all be obliterated.
After a moment of silent communication, the two continued their respective training.
Naruto didn't say much. His Talk No Jutsu was underdeveloped, so he couldn't say too much. And Sasuke's "Cool Persona Jutsu" was immune to Talk No Jutsu.
So why did the Seventh Hokage (Naruto) always defeat Sasuke so decisively in the original work?
That's because the Seventh Hokage (Naruto) triggered another counter-mechanism against Sasuke.
Low intelligence counters those who love to show off.
For example, the First Hokage countered Madara, young Obito countered Kakashi, the Seventh Hokage countered Sasuke, and so on...
This refers to life intelligence, not combat intelligence.
Sasuke, who turned to punch trees, his face changed from cloudy to clear. He no longer punched through a tree with every hit, though he occasionally still pierced one.
He was distracted. After learning about the oil lamp's function, Sasuke's mind raced, summing it up in four words: I want to stir trouble!!
Naruto, meanwhile, was preparing for his next plan. He no longer cared about the impact of revealing the oil lamp on himself.
Before, revealing it would affect his life, but he was leaving anyway, so who could affect him?
Unlike gold, when he used gold, he was still in the village. But by the time Sasuke used the oil lamp, he would be gone.
They wouldn't be able to find him, and by the time he returned to the village...
If you can find anyone in the entire Konoha who can beat me, I'll change my surname to Hyūga.
Hmm... except Tsunade, except Might Guy, Kakashi... and Shino's assassination...
Forget it, none of you in Konoha are normal people. This game can't be played.
The next morning, by the back gate of the Hyūga clan compound, beneath a large question mark, stood a blond boy attempting to charm a wealthy loli.
The two guards had extremely poor expressions, their eyes unfriendly, and they remained silent.
After a long wait, the big loli didn't arrive, but a small loli did.
It was Hanabi who opened the door.
"Are you waiting for my sister?" the small loli Hanabi asked.
"Yeah," Naruto replied.
"Sister's not here."
"When will she be back?"
"Around two or three in the afternoon, I guess." Hanabi was telling the truth. This person had helped the Hyūga clan during the Chūnin Exams. Lying to him would damage the Hyūga's reputation.
"Then I'll come back this afternoon, bye-bye." Naruto, disappointed at not having charmed the rich lady, opened a teleportation gate.
"What are you doing?" the small loli Hanabi asked cautiously.
My sister finally has half a day off, and you're trying to steal her away from me!?
"What are you, a little kid, meddling for? I'm leaving."
"Damn it! You just wait!" Hanabi's small fists clenched, her flickering eyes indicating she had many thoughts too.
It seemed she, too, wanted to stir trouble!
Back in the small forest, Naruto first sent shadow clones to the Land of Snow to mold gold ingots into gold pellets, then delivered them to several places to buy things.
These places were Tanzaku Town, the Land of Waves, and the Land of Snow.
The items weren't expensive, but the quantity was huge. However, Naruto was a spendthrift who bought as much as he could.
In terms of financial power, I, Uzumaki Naruto, owner of Gold Mountain Silver Sea Estate, have never feared anyone.
Whistling to call his pig teammates, Naruto fed the pigs while taking out paper and a pen to start writing.
He, too, wanted to stir trouble!
