Kurotsuchi: "That's so lame."
Kurotsuchi: "Especially reading that so-called Legendary Sannin Jiraiya's peeping book."
Kurotsuchi: "Who actually enjoys reading that stuff?"
Kurotsuchi's statement immediately caused many people to lower their heads, deciding to go home and burn their copies of Xiao Huangshu: Icha Icha Paradise.
Tsunade: Surpassing the master, he's even more disgusting than that old perverted monkey!
Listening to the constant condemnations of the so-called Sannin Jiraiya echoing in the chat room.
Many women's eyes turned red.
They had no way to stop that peeping pervert.
Knowing that person's identity, what could they, as mere civilians, possibly do?
They could only watch helplessly as he wrote the entire process of his peeping into a book.
And he always called it "research."
The book contained all sorts of detailed descriptions.
He even wrote about how angry they looked.
How could this not make people break down?
But facing Konoha's Legendary Sannin, Jiraiya, what could they do?
And he was very shrewd, only targeting civilian women.
If he targeted a Ninja and got caught...
Like Tsunade, who had been guarding against him since childhood.
One time, she was almost peeped on again, and Tsunade was so angry she nearly killed him.
How could Tsunade not know that if he saw her, Icha Icha Paradise would feature—
Various textual "gravure" photos of Princess Tsunade, granddaughter of the First Hokage, the god of shinobi, Hashirama Senju, and Princess of the Land of Fire?
With all those titles attached, the hype would be immense.
And once that content appeared.
Then, the market would be flooded with textual "gravure" photos about Tsunade for a long time to come.
Even if they were just fantasies, having the original Icha Icha Paradise as a reference, the resulting creative writing would probably make Tsunade die of anger on the spot.
[Kakashi glanced at the three.]
[His eyes swept over Uchiha Sasuke.]
['The sole surviving Uchiha... he looks frightening... but he is somewhat similar to how I used to be.']
['He's trouble.']
[Then his gaze fell upon Sakura Haruno's face.]
['A kawaii girl, that look in her eyes... seems like a girl who gets boy-crazy, she is at that age after all.']
['Second best female student overall... not inferior to a Ninja clan heir at all... it's just that look in her eyes...']
['Did I come too early?']
['She's also trouble.']
[Kakashi secretly shook his head, knowing this mission wouldn't be easy.]
[Finally, the moment his gaze fell on Naruto.]
[The hand Kakashi used to hold Xiao Huangshu trembled slightly.]
[In a daze, he seemed to see his former teacher, Minato, sitting quietly there, watching him.]
['Minato... Sensei?']
Fourth Raikage: "I've noticed Konoha has a tradition—presbyopia."
Kankuro: "Agreed."
How many times has this happened now?
['The son of Minato-sensei and Kushina-nee... Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Uzumaki Naruto.']
['He's already grown this much?']
[Kakashi's heart felt complicated, but his expression remained unchanged.]
[While Kakashi was sizing up the three of them.]
[The three of them were also sizing him up.]
[Kakashi: A cold, problematic Uchiha, a boy-crazy girl, and a handsome, powerful... (hundreds of words omitted) excellent Ninja.]
[Uchiha Sasuke: He's a low-level Jonin, I should look for another path.]
[Sakura Haruno: He looks pretty decent. Our class is full of handsome guys and pretty girls~ it's just this teacher seems unreliable.]
[Uzumaki Naruto: As long as he's alive, it's fine.]
Kakashi Hatake: "..."
Team 7: "..."
[He managed to endure such severe psychological trauma, his mental fortitude is strong. The probability of turning him is high, and even if he can't be turned, he won't become an enemy.]
["Hmph!"]
[Sasuke snorted coldly, then slowly stood up.]
[Seeing this.]
[Sakura looked toward Naruto.]
[However.]
[Naruto made no move.]
[Sasuke seemed to sense something, looking back at Naruto, who was still seated.]
[After thinking for a moment, he sat back down as well.]
[Oh?]
[Kakashi's dead-fish eyes showed a slight change.]
[He looked at the three still sitting in their seats.]
["Well~"]
["Let's not talk about other things for now, let's just complete the procedure."]
["Alright everyone, let's go somewhere else to talk."]
[Saying this, Kakashi closed Xiao Huangshu and tucked it into his pocket.]
[He then walked toward the door.]
[A moment later.]
[Kakashi returned to the classroom, looking at the three who hadn't moved.]
[He felt somewhat helpless.]
[Something seems off... I need to retract my assessment of Naruto.]
["How long do you plan to sit there?" Kakashi asked.]
[No one responded.]
[Sasuke gave Kakashi a cold glance, then closed his eyes.]
[Sakura didn't even look at Kakashi.]
[Kakashi could only look toward Naruto.]
[He saw Naruto wearing a gentle smile.]
[A very familiar feeling.]
[The son of the Little Sun... is he also a Little Sun?]
[Hmm... apparently not.]
[The problematic Uchiha youth and the boy-crazy girl subtly deferred to him.]
[It seems he's also a troublemaker.]
["Fine, you win. Tell me, what do you want?"]
[After staring at Naruto for a while, Kakashi, with his dead-fish eyes, finally conceded defeat.]
[Still, no one answered him.]
[Like this.]
[The stalemate continued for a while longer.]
[Kakashi simply stopped talking, took out Xiao Huangshu, and started reading.]
[Before long, Kakashi let out a burst of lecherous laughter.]
[Soon, Kakashi was engrossed in his reading.]
[Just then.]
[Naruto stood up.]
[Sakura quickly stood up too.]
[Sasuke noticed the commotion behind him and stood up with them.]
["Where are we going?"]
[Sasuke suddenly asked.]
[The last time he spoke to Naruto was the last time.]
["The Hokage Building."]
[Sasuke frowned slightly.]
[But he didn't say anything.]
[Snap—]
[Kakashi put away Xiao Huangshu, narrowing his eyes slightly.]
["That's enough."]
["To be honest, my first impression of you is very poor."]
[Hearing this, Naruto glanced at him.]
["Same here."]
[Sakura immediately chimed in: "Exactly!"]
[Sasuke merely snorted coldly, his hands shoved into his pockets.]
[Kakashi was momentarily stunned.]
[He completely hadn't expected that the child who gave such a good first impression was actually a top-tier troublemaker.]
["What are you going to do?"]
["Go to the Hokage Building to find Grandpa Hokage and request a different Jōnin Instructor."]
["We don't need a Jōnin Instructor who is two hours late and thinks a single, insincere apology is enough to settle things."]
["If you don't want to instruct Team 7, which has the highest comprehensive score in history."]
["There are plenty of Elite Jonin who would want to."]
[Naruto's lips held a gentle smile.]
[But the words he spoke sent a chill down Kakashi's spine.]
[So that's how it is.]
[Kakashi gave a wry smile.]
[Sakura's eyes sparkled. Naruto-kun is the most handsome person in the entire Ninja World~!]
[Sasuke was also taken aback, not expecting Naruto to say that.]
["Hehe."]
["That's not something I can decide."]
["And right now, as your Jōnin Instructor, I have the right to make all of you lose your qualification to become Ninja."]
[Kakashi's eyes became extremely cold.]
[Naruto, however, could clearly sense that this guy was acting.]
[Sasuke frowned intensely.]
[Sakura didn't pay much attention; as long as Naruto was there, everything would be fine.]
["Is that so?"]
["Then we'll wait and see."]
[With that, Naruto walked past Kakashi and headed out the door.]
[Sakura immediately followed.]
[Sasuke took a deep breath.]
[He also believed that if such a person became Team 7's Jōnin Instructor, then... revenge would be hopeless!]
[Kakashi stood frozen in place.]
[The next second.]
[Kakashi, who had been wearing a cold expression, suddenly became cheerful and grinning.]
[Appearing in front of the three of them.]
["Sorry, sorry, I'm truly very sorry."]
["I promise I won't be that late again in the future."]
["Really!"]
[Looking at Kakashi's solemn promise, Naruto replied with a light chuckle: "And what if you get lost on the road of life next time?"]
[Uh...]
[Naruto shook his head. "Ichiraku Ramen. I'm hungry right now, you're treating."]
["Mhm! Mhm!" Sakura nodded quickly.]
[Sasuke, however, was a bit surprised.]
[He hadn't clearly seen Kakashi's movements at all.]
[It seems this unreliable-looking Jōnin Instructor still has some skill.]
["Fine."]
[Kakashi took a deep breath.]
["Then let's change locations."]
[There was nothing he could do. In reality, this was a set procedure, constantly applying psychological suggestion.]
[It greatly affects tomorrow's practical exercise assessment.]
[Naruto guessed one thing wrong: the practical exercise assessment wasn't today, but tomorrow.]
Sakura Haruno: "Ah?!"
Sakura Haruno: "So it was intentional!"
Sakura Haruno: "Darn it... No wonder I felt like something was unbelievable before. I see! He was giving us psychological suggestions right from the start... The pressure was too much, making us starve all morning, even Sasuke fell for it back then!"
[Taking in Kakashi's performance.]
[Naruto secretly nodded.]
[Afterward, he decided to increase the dosage and see the reaction.]
["Ichiraku Ramen seems to have a dish with 'Blood Red Chili' added. I want to eat that."]
["And I want to use the limited edition, golden, sparkling chopsticks."]
