Chapter 178 - 5

Chapter 5: Cuckolded?Once Naruto found his own Ninja Way!He began to take the initiative, unafraid of the strange looks from others, and embarked on his path of darkness.The target—every shop that refused to sell him goods.Late in the 54th year of Konoha. Konoha Village.In the forest, a gray rabbit was fleeing rapidly, with Naruto in hot pursuit, holding a javelin.During this period, Naruto had earned quite a bit of money—tens of thousands of Ryo—which was enough for him to live well for a while.But unfortunately, he couldn't control his spending; he bought a set of specialized carving tools and was instantly back to square one.Although he wouldn't go hungry, he still had to frequently go out to catch fish and hunt to supplement his household expenses.Most of the time, this meant catching fish.Because for a three-year-old little tyke, hunting was simply too difficult.Just like now, the rabbit was running further and further away, on the verge of disappearing.Naruto grew anxious, and without caring if he could hit it, he threw the javelin with all his might.Swish!A moment later, a scream echoed from deep within the forest, followed immediately by an angry male voice shouting: "Damn it, which bastard ambushed me?"Oh no, I'm done for. I hit someone.Shrinking his neck, Naruto turned around silently and was just about to run away when...The man who had been accidentally injured had already charged over."Kid, was it you?"The man was wearing a black mask, and there was a wound at the base of his thigh.He held the blood-stained javelin in his hand and blocked Naruto's path with a fierce, menacing look."Who are you?"Naruto looked closely and discovered that the man was carrying a little girl about his own age on his back.Her appearance was quite familiar; if Naruto wasn't mistaken, it should be Hyuga Hinata.Naruto realized and said: "You Kumogakure are here in Konoha again to kidnap little girls."There was Kushina before, and now Hinata; one was his mother, and the other was his destined wife.Both were women close to Naruto; this Kumogakure must have a deep grudge against him.Decided...If I become the Azure Emperor in the future, I will definitely pin Kumogakure to the ground and rub them into the dirt.Naruto secretly made a vow.The Cloud Ninja was named Gao Shan, a member of the Kumogakure delegation that had arrived in Konoha the day before yesterday to negotiate, and he was currently executing a mission to steal a little girl.The operation was proceeding smoothly.But disaster struck from the sky; a javelin flew in unexpectedly, and caught off guard, it almost cost him his manhood.With such a deep grudge, Gao Shan was furious and charged over without caring about anything else.Hearing Naruto point out his identity, Gao Shanbecame even more vicious and sneered: "Kid, didn't your elders tell you that knowing too much is bad for you?"Naruto calmly replied: "My elders told me that men who kidnap little girls deserve to die a horrible death."As he finished speaking, two Anbu appeared and blocked the path in front of Naruto.The Anbu wearing an ox-head mask said in a deep voice: "Yue, take Naruto and leave immediately, leave this to me!"The Anbu wearing a dog-head mask, Yue, nodded, picked up Naruto, and turned to run.Feeling the softness against the Anbu's chest, Naruto realized this must be a female Ninja.And a very beautiful female Ninja at that...As for why Naruto knew the female Ninja was beautiful...Of course, he guessed.Men, you know, they are all like this; they like to imagine women whose faces they haven't seen in the best possible light.But the beautiful female Ninja wasn't important right now.What was important was that Naruto didn't want to leave; he wanted to see a real Ninja battle.Naruto struggled and said: "Let's stay and help.""Behave!"What kind of help could a little brat like you provide? It would be good enough if you didn't cause trouble.Yue didn't stop, her arms tightening as she held Naruto closer.Immersed in the bouncy sensation, Naruto's head felt dizzy..."The Anbu's mission is to protect your safety; we cannot take any risks, and the senior is very powerful..."Bang!A figure flew backward and slammed into the ground; it was the powerful Anbu senior.The Anbu senior couldn't get up and could only weakly warn: "Cough, cough, Yue, run! The opponent is a Jonin."A Jonin is high-end power in a Ninja Village, and they are rare; even Konoha couldn't be so extravagant as to use a Jonin to protect Naruto.Both Anbu were Chunin; even together they couldn't defeat a Jonin, let alone fighting alone, which was like handing over their heads.Gao Shan intercepted the fleeing Yue, looked at Naruto in her arms, licked his lips, and smiled triumphantly: "It seems I've stumbled upon a big fish... Hand him over, and I'll spare your life."Clang!The answer to Gao Shan was a drawn sword. Yue put Naruto down, her gaze never leaving Gao Shan, and she said to Naruto sternly."Quick! Run toward the Village by yourself, don't look back, someone will come to save you.""I...""Immediately!""...Understood."Without any power, staying behind would be useless and would only hold them back.For the first time in his life, Naruto clearly felt the importance of power in the dangerous Ninja World.Power, oh power, I want power too.Naruto thought while clenching his fists as he fled."Dance of the Crescent Moon!"A cold female voice faintly came from behind, followed by the sound of metal clashing.A minute later, Naruto saw Gao Shan, who was in a sorry state and holding a blood-stained Kunai, and helplessly stopped running.Gao Shan said gloomily: "Kid, what exactly is your background? Why are the Konoha Anbu risking their lives to stop me?"Risking their lives?Thinking of a certain possibility, Naruto's face darkened."It doesn't matter if you don't say anything; I'll find out once I capture and torture you, hehe..."As he spoke, Gao Shan stepped closer and closer to Naruto.Naruto wanted to stall for time: "Wait, I'll tell you."Gao Shan didn't give him a chance: "No waiting; too much time has been wasted. I'm going to capture you now, surrender!"You...Naruto took a deep breath and stepped back, cursing Konoha for being a bunch of useless idiots for not sending anyone yet, while outwardly pretending to be angry: "Does Kumogakure want to start a war?"Huh, why does this sound so familiar...Oh, right, this is what we Cloud Ninja often say to Konoha.Gao Shan said with a strange expression: "Just because of you... you think you can start a war?"Naruto proudly puffed out his chest and said: "Of course, you know the Third Hokage, right? He calls me 'Grandpa'.""Kid, you're playing with me!""Sorry, slip of the tongue; I call the Third Hokage'Grandpa'.""You're the Third Hokage's grandson?"Gao Shan scrutinized Naruto: Little Blondie, blue eyes, and the distinctive six whiskers on his cheeks.He thought this wasn't right; he had seen the Third Hokage, and he didn't look like that?Could it be that the Third Hokage's son was cuckolded, or perhaps the Third Hokage himself was cuckolded..."Forget it, who cares who cuckolded whom, let's just capture him first... Anyway, Konoha is just a bunch of wimps. Even if we, Kumogakure, captured the Third Hokage's grandfather, Konoha would probably just pretend nothing happened."Thinking this way without any fear, Gao Shanignored Naruto's threats and resolutely reached out his demonic claws toward Naruto.
