I, Naruto, started out with Hinata feeding me imported candy.

What the hell?

How did Naruto manage to catch such a big fish so easily?

Then, he looked at the tiny fish, about the thickness of a finger, in his fish bucket and almost burst into a tirade.

Suddenly, Sasuke noticed the fishing rod in his hand sink, and he muttered to himself with anticipation.

"Is this a big fish?"

With a nervous heart, I pulled the fishing rod with both arms.

The next moment, a small shrimp was dropped up.

"..." Sasuke was speechless upon seeing this.

He stood up abruptly, staring at the tiny shrimp on the fishing hook, and almost threw the rod.

Seeing this, Naruto grinned and said, "Don't be discouraged, keep fishing, maybe you can catch a crab."

"Crab..." Sasuke rolled his eyes and snorted softly, "Keep laughing at me, I'll catch a big fish for you to see sooner or later."

He felt like his lungs were about to explode with anger.

I came here to fish, hoping to see if I could really improve my mental state through fishing, just as Naruto said, and maybe even improve my strength.

But now it seems that my mindset hasn't improved; instead, I've just gotten really angry.

for the next two hours.

Naruto caught one big, fat fish after another, while Sasuke caught quite a few small fish, some shrimp and crabs, and even a turtle.

Naruto tilted his head and looked at the various fish and shrimp in Sasuke's fish bucket, then clicked his tongue slightly.

how to say.

To say that Sasuke has no talent for fishing... seems to be true.

To be honest, he did catch quite a few fish, shrimp, and turtles of various kinds.

At this moment, Sasuke looked at the large, fat fish filling Naruto's fish bucket, and then looked at his own fish bucket.

He was so angry he felt like he was about to vomit blood.

What the hell is the point of fishing here?!

He also discovered that his mindset had never improved at all.

Could it be that Naruto tricked me?

He knew all too well that he had been tricked when he sought Naruto's help to learn Moonwalk.

This situation is not impossible.

Thinking of this, Sasuke's lips curled into a vicious smirk.

Damn, he probably got tricked by Naruto!!

Sasuke's face was as black as coal. He glared at Naruto, then picked up the fish bucket and left without looking back.

Naruto saw Sasuke leave with a dark expression, shrugged, and continued fishing.

Konoha Village, on the street.

Jiraiya looked at the road ahead, surveyed it for a moment, and then his gaze locked onto the entrance of a mansion not far ahead.

"That should be the place the Third Hokage mentioned where Naruto lived, right?"

Yesterday.

He went to the Hokage Building with Kakashi and learned about the development of Konoha in recent years from Hiruzen Sarutobi.

They also learned that the Chunin Exams are currently underway.

In addition, Jiraiya specifically inquired about Naruto.

However, when he mentioned Naruto, he saw a look of pain on Hiruzen Sarutobi's face.

In the end, he learned that Naruto had gotten a lot of money from Hiruzen Sarutobi.

They built large mansions, storefronts, and then renovated them.

These expenses cost Hiruzen Sarutobi a lot of money from his personal savings.

Upon learning the situation, Jiraiya chuckled to himself.

My teacher is seventy-nine years old, and in his old age he is still being taken advantage of by children.

If this gets out, how embarrassing would that be!

His reputation is ruined in his later years!

With a slight smile, he hurried towards the residence, eager to see Naruto as soon as possible.

Chapter 75 Mount Myōboku! The Toad Sage! Jiraiya! Reporting!

river bank.

Naruto tilted his head and looked at the fish bucket that was already full of big, fat fish.

"The fish are full so quickly. Looks like I'll have to hand them over to Zabuza to sell."

After muttering something to himself, he stood up, picked up the fish bucket, and walked into the store.

But just as he turned his head, he saw a middle-aged man with white hair looking at him with a smile.

Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Naruto's brows furrowed slightly.

"Jiraiya, what's he doing here?"

Not far away, Jiraiya saw Naruto looking in his direction, and he immediately raised his right hand to greet him.

"Naruto."

He quickly walked up to Naruto.

When Naruto saw Jiraiya smiling at him, a look of surprise appeared on his handsome face, as if he were quite taken aback.

"Oh~~ You are—you are—"

When Jiraiya saw Naruto looking very surprised, and even deliberately drawing out his voice, he felt a sense of anticipation.

It seems Kakashi mentioned me to Naruto.

At this moment, Naruto still looked very surprised, and then looked at Jiraiya and asked in feigned confusion.

"Who are you?"

"..." Jiraiya, who was originally expecting Naruto's shocked expression, twitched his lips violently after hearing the other party's question. His face instantly fell, and he almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

Since you don't know who I am, then don't act like you recognize me and are surprised, okay?

This is so frustrating!!!

Jiraiya grinned when he saw Naruto's puzzled look.

"Let me introduce myself first."

Immediately, he took a few steps back, then suddenly shook his head, stretched out his left arm with his palm open, and raised his right hand above his head at a 45-degree angle.

After completing these actions, Jiraiya grinned.

"I am Jiraiya, the Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku!"

After he finished speaking, he even hopped three times on his left foot, then switched to his right foot and hopped three times as well.

Naruto clicked his tongue in amazement when he saw Jiraiya's classic opening line.

This could be considered a memorable scene.

"What do you need me for?"

"Ahem." Seeing that Naruto showed no reaction to his name, Jiraiya's face twitched, and he coughed to ease the awkwardness. He then said with a smile, "Um, I heard from Kakashi that you have some of those risqué manga?"

"Yes, there is." Naruto didn't hide anything and readily nodded in acknowledgment.

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya's eyes lit up instantly. He rubbed his hands together, grinned, and said, "Um... I'd like to buy some comic books from you to study."

After learning the reason for his visit, Naruto pondered for a moment and then shook his head.

"This is not for sale, I won't sell it even if you offer me money."

"..." Jiraiya's lips twitched, his eyes darted around, and he said again, "Naruto, I know Kakashi, can't you make an exception and sell it to me?"

Naruto rolled his eyes at Jiraiya's pretentious display of social skills, his face showing disdain.

"You know Kakashi, what does that have to do with me, Naruto?"

"..." Jiraiya's eyes widened, unsure how to answer.

Naruto's words made perfect sense, and I couldn't refute them at all.

His eyes darted around slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "How about this? I'll trade you a really powerful ninjutsu for your comic book."

"Exchange ninjutsu for it?" Naruto narrowed his eyes.

"Hmm." Jiraiya nodded repeatedly, and said with a mysterious smile, "Don't worry, it's definitely a very powerful ninjutsu."

Naruto couldn't help but find the other person's mysterious demeanor amusing.

He knows the specifics.

In the original work, Jiraiya taught Naruto ninjutsu, either the Summoning Jutsu or the Rasengan.

Thinking of this, he feigned curiosity and asked, "What kind of ninjutsu?"

"Summoning Jutsu!" Jiraiya patted his chest, looking smug. "Don't worry, the summoning jutsu I'll teach you is definitely worth the price of a comic book!"

Upon learning that it was a summoning jutsu, Naruto stroked his chin, pondering silently.

Jiraiya's summoning technique summons the giant toad of Mount Myōboku.

If you could summon a giant toad, and instead of fishing in Konoha, you wanted to fish in the sea off Kirigakure or on the giant tortoise island in Kumogakure, having a giant toad as a mount would seem like a pretty good idea.

Moreover, if one were to use reverse channeling...

Maybe we can go fishing in Mount Myoboku.

What if you fish out something amazing from there?
