"Hey, Hinata, let me tell you something. After I saw you home last night and we said goodbye..." Naruto said proudly, "Guess what happened next?"
Hinata really had no clue, so she just said, "I can't guess."
"Of course, that very night, I dreamt about you."
Hinata shyly played with her fingers and said coyly, "Am I really that good?"
"I won't allow you to doubt yourself. You can doubt anyone else, but not yourself."
"Ugh..." Jiraiya beside them couldn't stand it anymore and made a disgusted face, showing his total disdain for Naruto.
Jiraiya thought to himself: I underestimated this naive kid Naruto. I never thought he'd be such a ladies' man. If he's this good at chasing girls at such a young age, who knows what he'll be like when he grows up...
Jiraiya's disgust for Naruto wasn't because Naruto and Hinata were showing affection. It was because Naruto's behavior had stirred up Jiraiya's desires.
Jiraiya simply turned his face away, thinking it'd be better not to see. He thought: I'd better hurry to the destination so I can go find some pretty girls... Hehe...
"Haha," Naruto laughed and said, "Actually, I've learned a new Ninjutsu. I really want to show it to you."
Seeing Naruto so excited, Hinata was equally happy inside.
"What?" Jiraiya scoffed. "With your own skills, the Ninjutsu you can learn is no big deal anyway."
"My Ninjutsu is really awesome, okay!" Naruto got annoyed when he heard Jiraiya's comment.
"Next, the Ninjutsu I'm going to teach you is truly amazing," Jiraiya said mysteriously. "It's a Ninjutsu created by the Forth Hokage."
"Wow!" Naruto immediately guessed that the Ninjutsu Jiraiya was talking about must be the Rasengan.
"The Ninjutsu you teach is indeed great, but the new Ninjutsu I've learned is also amazing."
"Hahaha," Jiraiya laughed out loud. "Who'd believe that?" After saying that, Jiraiya swaggered forward.
At this time, Naruto noticed that someone seemed to be following them from behind.
Naruto thought to himself: They should be from Kusagakure Village. They know I've left Konoha. Are they here to take revenge on me because of Karin... Hehe... Good timing...
"Hinata, you go ahead and catch up with Teacher Jiraiya. I'll catch up with you later."
Naruto sent Hinata away. After watching her leave, he put down the big bag of milk in his hand.
"Come out, you cowards from Kusagakure Village," Naruto said dominantly. "I dared to leave Konoha, but you're too scared to show up in front of Jiraiya. You can only hide in the shadows and wait for a chance to strike."
"A Ninja from Kusagakure Village suddenly teleported out and said, "Shut up, kid. Without Jiraiya, you're nothing. Get ready to die."
Naruto threw a three - pronged Kunai at him. The Ninja from Kusagakure Village easily blocked it with his Kunai.
The Ninja from Kusagakure Village sneered and said, "Humph, I'm a Jonin from Kusagakure Village. With just your little tricks..."
Before the Jonin from Kusagakure Village could finish his sentence, Naruto had already teleported beside him and stabbed at his head with his Kunai.
"Damn it... The Flying Thunder God Technique is indeed fast, but my attack speed after teleporting is too slow..." Naruto discovered his weakness.
Flying Thunder God Technique would never give the opponent any reaction time.
A Jonin from Kusagakure Village tilted his head to dodge the fatal blow, but his ear was still sliced off by Naruto's Kunai.
"Aaaaaah!" The Kusagakure Jonin shouted and ran away. He looked at Naruto in disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.
Naruto began to summarize his failure experience. After using the Flying Thunder God Technique, he teleported directly behind the opponent, but when he started to attack after the teleportation, it was very slow, giving the opponent a little reaction time.
"Come out quickly! Come out quickly! Kill him!" The Kusagakure Jonin shouted frantically.
Meanwhile, a large number of Genin from Kusagakure Village jumped out, waving various weapons and charging towards Naruto.
"Just in time. You'll become my combat experience." Naruto threw several three - pronged Kunais around.
All the three - pronged Kunais had the pre - marked Flying Thunder God Jutsu. Throwing them out was equivalent to marking the teleportation points.
This time, Naruto raised his Kunai high and stabbed it hard into the ground.
"Is this kid crazy? He's attacking the ground?" The Kusagakure Jonin was momentarily stunned.
Suddenly, Naruto disappeared into thin air. When he reappeared, he had teleported next to one of the three - pronged Kunais.
This three - pronged Kunai was flying into the sky, and Naruto's teleportation point was in the air.
Naruto kept the attacking - the - ground posture, and the Kunai in his hand directly pierced into the back of a Kusagakure Genin.
Naruto thought to himself: Attacking after using the Flying Thunder God Technique is too slow. Instead, attack first and then use the Flying Thunder God Technique. Once the teleportation ended, the enemy would be finished.
It was Naruto's first time using the Flying Thunder God Technique against an enemy. Due to lack of experience, he merely sliced off the Kusagakure Jonin's ear.
Soon, Naruto adjusted his strategy. He first swung the Kunai, then used the Flying Thunder God Technique. Once the teleportation ended, the enemy would be finished.
Naruto landed on the ground, taking the life of a Kusagakure Genin at the same time.
Naruto continued to swing his Kunai into the air. When he had swung it halfway, he used the Flying Thunder God Technique again and teleported next to another Kusagakure Ninja.
Just then, Naruto's Kunai directly slit the ninja's throat.
By attacking first and then using the Flying Thunder God Technique, Naruto attacked continuously according to this strategy, and six Kusagakure Ninjas had fallen in a pool of blood.
By now, the Kusagakure Jonin had noticed the problem. It seemed that he had underestimated Naruto.
Meanwhile, Jiraiya had been lurking nearby, looking at Naruto in shock.
Jiraiya thought to himself: So the new Ninjutsu Naruto mentioned is the Flying Thunder God Technique that even I can't learn... When did this kid learn it...
Actually, Jiraiya had spotted some Kusagakure Ninjas tailing them from the start, but he didn't know who they were targeting. So Jiraiya decided to play along.
Jiraiya simply left alone, staying away from Naruto and Hinata, so that the Kusagakure Ninjas would reveal themselves.
Now it seems that the target of the Kusagakure Village ninjas is Naruto.
Seeing Naruto handling the situation with ease, Jiraiya decided not to step in and intended to watch Naruto deal with the opponents.
The more Jiraiya watched Naruto's battle, the more shocked he became. Except for a slight flaw in his first use of the Flying Thunder God attack, Naruto adjusted his strategy afterward and easily took out several Kusagakure Village ninjas.
"Naruto is truly a natural-born ninja," Jiraiya commented.
The Kusagakure Village Jonin quickly figured out Naruto's trick: the three-pronged Kunai. Every time Naruto disappeared, he would reappear where there was a three-pronged Kunai.
The Kusagakure Village Jonin thought, "That Kunai with a unique shape must be his marker. He can instantly appear where there's a marker."
"Fire Release! Great Fireball Jutsu!" The Kusagakure Village Jonin used the Fire Release and attacked his own comrade.
A huge fireball was hurled at a Kusagakure Village Genin.
