Naruto: If I ask you to be Naruto, you will become a yellow-haired person?

Watching Shizune's delicate and pretty face filled with smugness, her slender hand held a needle-like ninja tool radiating a cold gleam.

"My senbon are coated with poison, you know!"

Naruto felt strange. Could it be that you're also a Yoshihiko warrior, a transvestite assassin who licks his own poisoned dagger?

Senbon are actually similar to the embroidery needles in the hands of Dongfang Bubai, who practiced the Sunflower Manual and castrated himself for eternity, except they're called senbon in the ninja world.

Seeing that Naruto didn't react, Shizune put the slender needles back into her ninja pouch, a look of disappointment on her face.

"Naruto, don't you like the concealed weapons that I use?"

Naruto hesitated and didn't say anything, which was taken as a tacit agreement.

In the original story, these poisoned concealed weapons were never considered elegant.

Shizune's strength was only positioned as Tsunade's secretary, an excellent medical ninja. She only used these poisoned concealed weapons for self-defense because she wasn't strong enough.

Speaking of poisoned concealed weapons, Granny Chiyo from the Sand Village in her swimsuit and Hanzō, known as the Salamander Hanzō, who had the title of demigod, were the real experts.

If it weren't for the poison of his summon, Hanzō would probably have been beaten half to death by the young Sannin in the Rain Village!

Of course, Tsunade was also proficient in this, but her usual method of killing was mainly using brute strength, which shows the limitations of poisoned concealed weapons.

Moreover, the use of poison still needs to be combined with the Sand Village's unique puppet technique to reach the pinnacle like Sasori of the Red Sand.

But Naruto wasn't interested in that. Controlling so many hundreds or thousands of dead puppets was too energy-consuming and tiring. It was better to control real people.

"That's right, Naruto, you're a genius who has mastered Lady Tsunade's Super Strength!"

Even after following Lady Tsunade for so many years, she still hadn't been able to learn Lady Tsunade's famous skill.

But Naruto, Lady Tsunade only took him as a disciple and taught him for a few days, and he had already mastered the basics of Lady Tsunade's Super Strength!

Is this the insurmountable gap between me and a genius like Naruto?...

A smile appeared on Shizune's delicate and quiet face, but a look of envy and loneliness flashed in her eyes.

Naruto suddenly spoke up at this moment.

"Shizune-neechan, can you let go of my hand now? My palm is getting a little sweaty from being held by you..."

Naruto's mouth twitched slightly.

He speechlessly tried to pull his little hand, which was tightly wrapped in Shizune's soft, girlish hand. She was holding it so tightly that he had just tried to pull it away but failed.

Occasionally, Shizune's fair hand would gently and rhythmically rub and pinch it...

He had been in the ninja world for so long, and he was always the one teasing shy, conservative young ladies, or mature, beautiful women...

He never thought that today he would actually be targeted by Shizune, this perverted woman.

He's still a shota...

Shizune's delicate and pretty face flushed red with embarrassment. Ah, she's been discovered...

"I'm sorry, Naruto, I was distracted for a moment and forgot."

After saying that, she reluctantly let go of Naruto's little hand.

"By the way, Shizune-neechan, didn't the teacher say that we're going to the Fire Country Daimyo's mansion for a mission tomorrow morning?"

Shizune briefly explained.

"Lady Tsunade has some family ties with the Daimyo. Recently, the Daimyo's financial assistance to Konoha has been less than in previous years. This time, Lady Tsunade is going to lobby the Daimyo for Konoha."

"Although this mission has been designated as an A-rank mission by the Hokage, it's actually only a C-rank mission. There's basically no danger of combat."

Naruto nodded, thoughtfully.

Tsunade was the only ninja in the original story who was called Tsunade-hime, so it's not surprising that she has blood ties with the Daimyo.

This time, even if Shizune tries to dissuade her, she will definitely gamble at public expense and stay in the casino for a long time, without having the chance to take care of me...

And I can take advantage of this rare opportunity to leave the village and rescue Karin from the Grass Village.

After all, in the original story, that Karin, who likes to wear black stockings and has a fiery and frank personality, is quite to his liking. Moreover, she is also a descendant of the Uzumaki clan.

Moreover, Karin has a good talent in the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques. After rescuing her, it would be good to train her well as a subordinate.

Rebuilding the glory of the Uzumaki clan and expanding the branches and leaves for the extinct Uzumaki clan is Naruto Uzumaki's duty.

Of course, it's not because he's greedy for Karin's absolute territory between her black stockings.

But the Fire Country's capital is located in the center of the Fire Country, and the Fire Country is vast and expansive.

The Grass Country is located in the northwest corner of the Fire Country, which is a long distance away. Even if he takes the ninja world's common means of transportation, a carriage, it will take several days to travel back and forth.

No matter how careless Tsunade is, Shizune won't be able to handle it if I disappear for a few days!

Could it be that I can only rely on the Bounty Station to issue a bounty to rescue Karin?

The Bounty Station is the black market of the ninja world. The forces behind it are complex and intricate, and it is also tacitly approved by the major countries.

The Bounty Station is filled with all kinds of people, including many renegade ninjas and organizations who can't see the light of day, relying on the bounties of employers to make money.

The most famous thing about the Bounty Station is Asuma's head, worth 35 million ryo.

The Akatsuki organization, which is currently accumulating strength to contend with the five major countries and preparing money and supplies, often earns money by completing bounties from the Bounty Station.

Naruto suddenly thought of that enchanting and indifferent Messenger of God. Maybe he could hire Konan to rescue Karin in the Grass Country...

After thinking about it, Naruto dismissed the idea.

After all, he wants to rescue Karin and then treat her as a confidante and train her well in the future.

That moment of emotion when he rescues Karin from the cold and despairing endless hell where she has lived since she was a child, it's better for him to come forward in person.

But then how should he rescue Karin in the Grass Country?

Shizune was packing the necessary items for the upcoming trip in front of Naruto, while explaining them to Naruto.

There were soldier pills, antidote pills, tents, kunai weapons, and so on.

There were also storage scrolls, which are relatively expensive and rare items that even ordinary jonin don't have.

After a long time, Shizune rubbed Naruto's head and said with a soft smile, while handing over a glass of milk.

"Naruto, it doesn't matter if you don't remember. Tomorrow on the road, I will practice the use of these tools one by one!"

"It's getting a little late now, Naruto, you should go and rest first!"

Listening to Shizune's gentle and considerate words, as if she were a little maid, Naruto nodded.

If Shizune hadn't revealed her perverted nature in front of him, he would have really thought she was a pure and quiet person.

Just as he was about to get up and go back to his room, a sound suddenly rang in his mind.
