Chapter 67

Title: One and a Half Year...am I a Genius?

...

Returning to his body, Shun thought for a while before deciding to not visit any of the other Jinchurikis. Nigito already had my seal placed on her so she won't die after Matatabi was extracted from her.

As for hers and Matatabi's compatibility, Shun could say that she was only behind Killer Bee...No, she was at the same level. It all boiled down to endurance and experience should the two clash.

As for Hidan and Kakuzu, they could only be called pathetic in front of her when it came to pure physical strength. However, Kakuzu had her beat in experience and Hidan had her beat in hax.

It was a stupid attribute to add, but one has got to admit...Hax made up for a lot when it comes to Shinobi and their techniques.

Take Obito for example...He boasted the greatest Hax in this world that anyone would think that without it, he was weak. However, his physical strength was already astronomical, his chakra enormous, and to top it off, he's experienced.

In comparison to the second greatest Hax weilder that is Naruto, Naruto would lose 11 out of 10.

'Hopefully, my Serum as well as his daily meditations would help him breach all these gaps in time.' Shun mused as he returned to his office in Hanagakure and released his clone who snorted in displeasure, not that he cared.

'I wonder what part of my Psych still has this immense desire to work...' he thought to himself as he sat down and continued where his clone left off.

As for Sasuke... Wait till he gets his Rinne-sharingan, till then, he was just your basic genius Uchiha...and by that, one should understand that he's already hax.

Throughout the past two years, Shun had made sure to return to Konoha on intervals to check out his newest pseudo-student...Tenten.

The little girl had the potential to be a Weapons Grandmaster, however, being one wasn't that easy. In normal situations, it'll take years for someone to master a single weapon, not to talk of the many ones that existed in the Shinobi world, in their various sizes and forms.

However, being exposed to a situation where she had to fight numerous enemies coming at her with different weapons that randomly appeared in her hands after random intervals, she was sure to reach a satisfactory level in Shun's eyes.

Afterall, this Fourth Ninja War would be one that could potentially destroy this world as we know it. The best Shun could do is to lower the invaders power levels to that of the Shinobis and the rest would be up to them.

But considering their unreasonably strong physical bodies, finesse would be needed if one wishes to swiftly make short work of their opponents, and even at that, those were guys that had lived for longer years than ordinary humans.

...

As the afternoon sun stood proudly in the sky, painting the horizon with hues of amethyst and lavender, Konoha welcomed an unfamiliar, yet familiar duo into their village.

"Hey, is that...?" One of the Chunin on duty said

"Yeah...I think it's him, so he's finally back?" And the other one replied.

They were the Eternal Chunin of Konoha. If Shun was here, he would've seriously wondered whether these two didn't have anything better to do with their lives.

"Look at him, I almost couldn't recognise him."

"For real. Who would've thought the runt back then could ever look this stunning?"

The two continued chatting as the boy and elderly man...

(Jiraiya-sama: Hey! I'm still in my youth!")

...walked deeper into the village.

(Jiraiya: Dammit! You completely ignored me didn't you?")

(Nani? You could figure that out?)

(You..!")

Jiraiya seemed to be enraged for a moment, but the next moment, he completely forgot why as an omnipotent being had wiped out that part of his life from his memory.

Looking at the outwardly calm boy in front of him, he couldn't help but smile fondly with a tint of pride. He had spent the last two and a Half years traveling around the world with the boy...No, His Godson, and it had been a very pleasant experience.

During their journey, he felt and saw the boy grow from his previous dumb and rash attitude to something more.

Don't be mistaken, the boy was still dumb and rash, but thankfully, he had developed other unique characteristics and added them to the mix.

Naruto Uzumaki, had taken his unpredictability to a whole other level. Whether it was due to his experience, or his innate naivety towards helping people, he had been forced to learn how to tackle any situation he comes across in a calm manner.

The naivety came in the fact that he felt everyone could be saved, as according to him, his elder brother, Shun, had always said: There's always a way, you just have to look harder.

Frankly, Shun was advising him on how to dribble past Sasuke who had the Sharingan in a basketball match.

With the Sharingan, Sasuke was literally the combination of the entire Generation of Miracles while Naruto was only Kagami.

After several defeats, Shun could only tell him to stay calm and assess his situation, afterall, the reason he introduced the game to them was for them to both learn some traits necessary as Ninjas, not Mages.

Those traits were: Hand-eye coordination. Critical and accelerated thinking. Flexibility. Endurance, Teamwork, Dexterity. Maneuverability and Precision.

Naruto was flexible, had endurance, could think fast...not critical, but fast, was flexible... However, he lacked Dexterity (Finesse with hands) and Precision.

It was in cases like this that: There's Always a Way, came into play.

"He's grown into a fine young man." Jiraiya muttered as he saw the shadow of his former student in Naruto who was currently running up a pole in the middle of the village. (Civilian area. Outer part of Konoha)

"Konoha...This Young Master...is Back." Naruto declared, causing Jiraiya to immediately do a double-take while simultaneously falling to his face at the same time.

'Wh-What the hell?!' He thought unamusedly, but before he could stand up and question the brat on why he copied that abominable brat's method of speaking, he felt several Chakra signatures running towards them.

Seeing it as his queue, his figure immediately blurred as he flickered away. He still had a Crush and Kage to report to.

"Naruto-nii-san!" Three loud voices called out as they ran up to the poll Naruto was standing on.

"Ah. Konohamaru, Moegi and Udon, huh?" Naruto muttered with a soft smile seeing his little minions running towards him.

With a jump, he immediately descended to the ground just as they reached him and greeted.

"Yo." In Shun's and Kakashi's style.

"Wow! Naruto-nii-san! You look so cool." Konohamaru immediately praised after acknowledging the greeting.

"Oh-ho? You mean these clothes right? Of course I look cool." Naruto said as he flexed the clothes Shun had given him a few months back.

Naruto's attire exuded a blend of casual comfort and ninja practicality. He donned a crisp, long-sleeve white shirt as the foundation, providing a clean and classic look.

Over this, he wore a stylish yet functional black jacket, adding a touch of ninja flair with its sleek design and subtle detailing.

Completing the ensemble, Naruto opted for black trousers that seamlessly integrated into his overall ninja aesthetic. The choice of black for the jacket and trousers not only conveyed a sense of stealth but also complemented the purity of the white shirt.

Overall, Naruto's attire struck a balance between modern streetwear and traditional ninja garb, this was Shun's idea in making him look more Ninja-like.

The orange tracksuit was good, considering the fact that it was a blend between Minato's Yellow and Kushina's Red, but hey...This was the real world now.

And also, Kushina wasn't dead...in fact, Naruto was in for a surprise, he just didn't know it yet.

(A/N: For an image of Naruto's attire, check the cover picture.)

"Ne ne. Check out this new technique, Naruto-nii." Konohamaru said and began forming hand signs for the transformation Jutsu which Naruto instinctively knew as soon as he saw it.

[Orioke no Jutsu!] He declared, and with an explosion of smoke, a gorgeous and well proportioned black haired beauty appeared in his place.

And looking at Naruto, he asked seductively. "Naruto-kyun, how do I look?"

Naruto however remained unfazed at the girl's seduction as he observed her. Seconds later, he frowned and shook his head. "Don't be like this konohamaru, you should have grown by now, shouldn't you?"

"It's already been what? Two, three years? And you're still at this level? I'm honestly disappointed." Naruto shook his head disapprovingly.

Konohamaru reverted back to his original appearance and suddenly looked down in remorse. It was true , what Naruto was saying. They weren't kids anymore and we're already genins, they ought to act like it.

Even the trio who were coming to welcome him after sensing his arrival were somewhat shocked.

Sakura, Ino and Hinata.

Hinata was only mildly shocked before her face immediately reverted back to a fond smile.

Sakura was both shocked at his words and appearance, while Ino was only shocked at his appearance.

For some reason, in this get up of his, he looked so damn cool and handsome.

Hinata also noticed this but she wasn't affected. After all, to her, Naruto had, and has always been the most handsome.

As they approached, they heard Naruto continue. "At my stage, I should be showing you guys a brand new Jutsu of my own making..."

Konohamaru and his crew immediately had stars in their eyes as they watched Naruto perform a series of hand signs.

Even the three ladies had a somewhat expectant expression as they wanted to know how much he had grown all these years in order to create an original Jutsu.

"After enduring some rather harsh training for both my body and mind, I came up with this one Jutsu to knock out all and every opponent that I'm up against. Man or woman, they all possess this one weakness..." Naruto paused while looking at the trio seriously.

"I present...,[Mikkusu Hāremu no Jutsu](Mixed Harem Technique)"

The atmosphere became tingled with chakra, and in an instant, the transformation occurred.

A dazzling display unfolded as Naruto emerged...No... It was Naruko, but not just Naruko. As the White clouds diminished, other figures were revealed as well.

Men and females of all categories exposed their chest, waists, legs, breast, and abbs... all revealing flirtatious smiles and a mesmerizing charm that pervaded the entire street.

Their beauty transcending traditional boundaries.

In that one instant, be it boy or girl, man or woman, young man or young lady, all of them were all knocked unconscious as streams of blood gushed out of their noses.

However, only one amongst them manages to retain a bit of her consciousness as she tried to burn the scene into her mind before the dizzy spell hit.

With her byakugan activated, she regretted why it didn't have the property of copying whatever the user sees and imprinting it into their brain.

With a sad sigh, she could only pray that this memory isn't destroyed after she Awakens, and with one last look, she succumbed to the darkness.

Naruto immediately deactivated the Jutsu and looked around with pride. "As expected of me. Eh? Hinata-chan?"

As soon as he saw Hinata, he immediately dropped his attitude and ran up to her, it was only then that he also saw Sakura and Ino beside her, also knocked out.

"Th-this... h-how is this possible?" He muttered in shock.

One had to know that this technique was one he devised after visiting so many whore houses with Jiraiya.

Since Jiraiya was always in need of 'inspiration', he could only sacrifice himself and create a technique to keep him occupied without going out and missing for days.

He has also used it to knock out some random civilians but he has never used it on Shinobis. Jiraiya was an exception. He was just a perverted sage.

But to think that this technique of his managed to knock out the three in front of him...

"Does this mean I'm a genius?"
