72. Persuasion... or Perversion

Naruto needed the Flying Thunder God Technique no matter what. This was something that could give him an edge over the inherently talented shinobi of the village.

He had felt that he was really not good or fast in comprehending new techniques right now. So, he wanted to have this. At least one reliable ability so it can get him the best defence and offence.

"Are you sure this will be acceptable? Pervy-sage said that as long as I can get it, he will help me train." Naruto asked Kurama. They were about to barge into the Hokage office.

"Do as I say, without asking any questions. That man has wronged you, kid. If you don't make him feel bad and use it to your advantage, then you're really the biggest fool ever." Kurama persuaded.

Naruto nodded and took a long breath. He looked at the busy street and the well guarded Hokage office. His first job was to reach the top and meet the old man. So, he went to the entrance.

"HALT!, where do you think you're going?" The guard asked.

"To meet the Hokage. Why? Can't a citizen of the village meet him and talk about his problems?" Naruto argued back.

But the guard's face twisted in anger, "You devil, LEAVE. Before I force you to."

"You are welcome to try, but don't mind me when the Hokage will get angry at you. So it's better to go in and report to him that Naruto Uzumaki has come to talk about something important." Naruto suggested to him. He was not afraid of fighting but feared that more ninjas would join in beating him. He may consider himself strong, but he can not fight adults.

Naruto was seeing face to face the behaviour of all the ninjas towards him and now that he knew the truth, he hated it. Even some old people did the same when they probably knew about it.

~They call me the demon, yet I am the one who kept their village safe from your anger. My parents sacrificed themselves for this village, and they still dare to do this.~ Naruto thought.

Kurama heard his words, "That's why once you get a bit stronger you should demand from the Hokage that your background be declared."

~I will,~ Naruto said and continued talking.

"Let me in, or go tell the Lord Hokage I want to meet him." Naruto insisted.

The guard finally relented and went inside the building. It'd be a shame on him if he were to attack a kid.

Hiruzen was working in his office and was focusing on the upcoming Chunin exams. According to the data he had, 87 participants were applying from Konohagakure,

Sunagakure is sending 30, Amegakure 21, Kusagakure 6, Takigakure 6, Otogakure 3. He wanted to make this as good as possible because the image of Konoha was on the line, also he wanted to promote the exam as this would lead to other villages participating.

*KNOCK KNOCK*

"Lord Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki is here, he wants to meet you." A ninja informed him.

Hiruzen was surprised, Naruto never purposefully came to meet him. ~Maybe he wants a new mission, a bit tougher than the last one.~

"Let him in," he allowed.

After a few seconds Naruto lazily entered, "Old man, your guard was very rude to me. He called me a demon."

Hiruzen tensed when he heard this. "I-I'm sorry, Naruto. They are foolish sometimes. Come, why did you want to see me?"

"Old man, I want something from you. After all these years, I finally have a dream, I want to do something wholeheartedly, I want to learn something, and only you can help me." Naruto emotionally spoke.

It was, in reality, Naruto's voice but the words belonged to Kurama, who was feeding it to him. Hiruzen's interest was piqued. Naruto had finally asked something from him other than a mission, "What is it?"

Naruto's answer resounded like booming thunder in Hiruzen's ears, "I want to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique."

Hiruzen's eyes shot open. This was far from what he had expected. He had thought Naruto would ask for money or something.

"W-Why do you want to learn it? And where did you even learn about it?" The old Hokage asked.

Naruto tried to act dumb and poked his nose, "Umm... I read about the Yellow Flash of Konoha in a book, I heard he also had yellow hair like me. So I wanna be like him and continue his legacy."

Hiruzen's eyes observed, as his mind superimposed Minato's face on Naruto's face. He saw the resemblance, ~Sure enough, like father like son.~

"But you do know it's an S-Rank jutsu and even most Jonins can't have it. The Flying Thunder God Technique is one of the toughest to learn among them. You are not even a Chunin yet. How will you learn it?" Hiruzen asked, wanting to know if Naruto had even thought this through.

"OH! I DID! Pervy-Sage said that if you agreed then he will help me learn it. He said he was the teacher of the previous Yellow Flash of Konoha." Naruto excitedly said.

~Sure enough, it's Jiraiya. He trained Minato and now wants to train Naruto too.~ Hiruzen sighed.

"You should go ahead and send Jiraiya to me. I will confirm with him and if he really agrees then I will allow him to teach you the Flying Thunder God Technique." Hiruzen decided.

"YES!" Naruto excitedly jumped and thanked the old man. "Thank you... I will go and find Pervy-sage, he must be near the bathhouse."

Hiruzen's eye twitched, ~That Jiraiya, I hope he's not a bad influence on Naruto, or I won't be able to look Kushina in the eye.~

Naruto ran out of the building and didn't stop until he was in a park. There he just laid down and laughed, "HAHAHA... We did it, Lord Kurama."

"I told you, boy. I have centuries of wisdom." Kurama boasted.

"But... Then how did you get caught? Shouldn't you have known about the enemies and how to get away?" Naruto asked innocently. This was a genuine question, but hurtful to Kurama's self-respect.

"Huh, let's not talk all about the past. Go and find that pervert and tell him you got the permission. That shrewd Hiruzen will try to make Jiraiya deny you, so it's on you to make him agree." Kurama suggested him.

Naruto thought for a few seconds, "AH! I know exactly what to do."

He ran at full speed and checked the back windows of all the bathhouses in the village. Finally, he found him behind one of them, laughing with a big mouth and his noise gushing out air. It was embarrassing to even see him like this, let alone call him master.

"Hey, Pervy-sage, Lord Hokage agreed. But he said he wants to talk to you first about it." Naruto nudged him.

"Eh, come later, kid. I am busy right now." Jiraiya pushed him away and continued peeping.

"Are you sure, Jiraiya sensei? OIROKE NO JUTSU! *POOF*" Naruto softly shouted out.

All of a sudden Naruto turned into a nude girl. Jiraiya instinctively looked back and his jaw fell, reaching the ground. His nose became a waterfall and his perversion came out in the form of a nosebleed.

"HEHEHE... C-Come here... Let this old man massage you." Jiraiya made a squeezing action with his hands.

*POOF*

"Go to Lord Hokage and get me the technique scroll, old pervert." Naruto scoffed.

*THUD*

Jiraiya fell face first in his desperation to touch the round perfect sponges on the girl. But he was too late. "O-Once more.... hehe... My dear protege."

Seeing this, Naruto doubted himself, ~Lord Kurama, I think I made my life worse by doing this.~

...

Wind Country,

A few days had gone by and Shiroken had nearly sold everything he had brought with him on the convoy. They made millions of Ryo with the trade here and their market research was done. It turns out, the people of Wind Country love watermelon flavouring the most. They liked to buy the dried powder of various fruits that can make the water tastier. And also, grains were in high demand.

At the same time, a few carriages that went to other countries returned with their reports. The Earth Country and Iwagakure liked metal tools, chainsaws that worked on fuel and other such items. The land of rain and the Amegakure people loved umbrellas, it was understandable. They also loved tea for some reason, maybe because drinking tea in rain just gives a different happy vibe. The people of the Fire Country and Konoha were the richest and liked a variety of things, ranging from exotic food to decorations. The market of the Fire Country was the most diverse.

The lightning country was similar to the Fire Country, liking many things from their catalogue.

Meanwhile, the Water Country was already Shiroken's area so he didn't send carriages there, as ships already go there each day.

"Good, you should transport this money chest securely back to the Dama Country. The carriages are empty so it shouldn't be a problem to reach it in 6 days. Stay safe," He instructed Bakumatsu, the old man.

Bakumatsu was responsible for taking the carriages back, filling them up and sending them out again. This time though, there will be 4 convoys, each going to one large nation.

"Don't worry, Lord Dama. We will safely bring the money home. We hope to see you again soon." Bakumatsu saluted him officially and drove the carriages away.

Shiroken waited for the long convoy to leave and disappear from his sight.

"What now, Lord Dama?" Shisui asked.

Shiroken chuckled, "Hehe, now... Now we start working."

"LORD NOBUNAGA... Lady Chiyo has returned and is looking for you." A man quickly came to him and informed him.

~Did she agree? Why else would she return? Let's see.~ He already started planning.
