Chapter 137: I'll Help You Beat Up Your Summoning Beast, Then It'll Be Obedient!
On the cliff.
Jiraiya and Naraku Uehara sat there, a large tree conveniently obscuring their figures, allowing them to hide and observe their surroundings.
Jiraiya and Naraku Uehara looked down at several swimsuit-clad girls frolicking in the stream below; they were observing the daily life of ordinary Konoha people.
In the stream, one of the girls giggled, then suddenly groped/playfully squeezed) another girl's chest, and a burst of silver-bell-like laughter drifted up.
"Ohohohoho~"
Listening to the sounds from the stream, Jiraiya's eyes and voice gradually became somewhat perverted. He even took out a pair of binoculars from his ninja tool pouch: "Just pull down the clothes a little more, come on, come on, come on… Yohohohoho!"
"..."
Naraku Uehara remained expressionless, like a saint. He slowly turned his head to look at the other side of the cliff, where a massive toad was hopping about, trying to shake something off. Towering trees were easily knocked down by its body!
That toad was Gamabunta from Mount Myoboku.
Ever since Naruto Uzumaki summoned Gamabunta, he refused to get off Gamabunta's back. The two had started arguing and seemed to be sulking there.
This was very dangerous!
What if Naruto Uzumaki was thrown off by Gamabunta…
Naraku Uehara, of course, wasn't worried about this. He was just trying his best to maintain his persona: "Lord Jiraiya, do we really not need to go help Naruto?"
"No need."
Jiraiya held the binoculars steadily, but the smile at the corner of his mouth grew wider: "Wait until Gamabunta and Naruto are done with their fuss, then you can go help Naruto with treatment. Alright, don't talk about such mood-dampening topics at this time."
After answering Naraku Uehara's question, Jiraiya even took out another pair of binoculars from his ninja tool pouch and friendly handed them to Naraku Uehara: "Look quickly, look quickly, it seems like they're about to take off each other's swimsuits!"
What was all this nonsense!
Did this Jiraiya fellow really think Uehara was a fan of his books?
Naraku Uehara frowned, took the binoculars from Jiraiya's hand with an impatient look, and lowered his head, intending to see what was going on down there.
Side Mission: Participate in Jiraiya's research once (1/1). Mission completed. Reward: Passive Skill - Overgrowth.
Overgrowth: Increases life energy by 300 points.
Only after the sun had set.
Jiraiya and Naraku Uehara reluctantly put away their binoculars.
As it was gradually getting late, the girls had also put on their clothes and gone home. Their research session for this time had thus ended.
"Alright, Naruto's side should be about done too, right?"
Jiraiya took a scroll from his person, handed it to Naraku Uehara, rubbed the back of his head, and said somewhat sheepishly, "Help me take this scroll to Bunta, and get Naruto back from Bunta!"
"Okay."
After Naraku Uehara nodded, he looked with surprise at Jiraiya who suddenly leaped away into the distance, and couldn't help but shout, "Lord Jiraiya, where will we meet up later?"
"That will depend on whether we have the chance!"
Jiraiya waved at Naraku Uehara. He had already helped Naruto sign the summoning contract with Mount Myoboku and taught Naruto chakra control and the Summoning Jutsu.
Moreover, Jiraiya hadn't found any trace of Orochimaru during this time, so he decided to temporarily leave Konoha and search for Orochimaru's whereabouts in the surrounding areas.
After Jiraiya left.
Naraku Uehara looked down at the large scroll in his hand, his eyebrows involuntarily twitching. Was this the summoning contract scroll for Mount Myoboku?
Forget it, this scroll wasn't very useful.
Naraku Uehara sighed, soared into the air towards Gamabunta's location, and fiercely threw the scroll in his hand towards it: "Lord Jiraiya asked me to pass this to you."
"Oh?"
Gamabunta slowly caught the scroll, then took Naruto Uzumaki, who had just fainted on its back, and handed him to Naraku Uehara: "Where's that Jiraiya fellow?"
"That, I don't know."
Naraku Uehara shook his head, took Naruto Uzumaki's body, and waved his hand, using Starcall on Naruto Uzumaki once.
Given Naruto Uzumaki's super massive constitution, a one-time treatment with Starcall definitely wasn't enough; this could only wake him up.
Naruto Uzumaki slowly opened his eyes. Upon seeing Naraku Uehara, he showed off somewhat happily, "Uehara, I just got a super awesome summoning beast! I'll definitely be able to beat you in the Chunin Exam finals!"
Just Gamabunta's size alone possessed overwhelming power!
If Naruto Uzumaki could really summon Gamabunta at any time, he could indeed achieve a decent result in this Chunin Exam.
However, it was merely decent.
Naruto Uzumaki turned his head and saw Gamabunta beside them. He immediately waved his hands excitedly at the behemoth, "Hey, Boss Toad, I won! From now on, when I summon you, you have to come out!"
"You damn brat!"
Gamabunta, holding its pipe, blew a huge smoke ring and slowly put away the Mount Myoboku summoning scroll: "Alright, take this little brat back. Making me put up with a brat for a whole day, sooner or later I'm going to settle accounts with that Jiraiya fellow!"
After saying that, Gamabunta was about to leave.
"Wait…"
Naraku Uehara called out to Gamabunta, slowly raising his head, revealing a kind smile: "Before you leave, I have a question for you, sir."
"Hmm? Question me?"
Gamabunta slowly lowered its head to look down at Naraku Uehara, gazing at the young ninja on the ground, and blew out a huge smoke ring: "Little thing, who do you think you are?"
"..."
Naraku Uehara narrowed his eyes.
Originally, for the mission, he had wanted to provoke Gamabunta.
If he didn't beat it up this time, who knew when the next chance would be.
Since Jiraiya wasn't around, it didn't matter if he beat up Gamabunta. Besides, many Konoha ninjas knew that apart from medical ninjutsu, Naraku Uehara's actual combat strength was also very strong.
Probably only Jiraiya would think he was just a book fan.
Unexpectedly, Gamabunta was so cooperative. Naraku Uehara had just said one sentence, and Gamabunta's暴躁 (irritable/fiery) temper flared up.
Wasn't this just asking for a beating?
Naraku Uehara slowly raised his head and gave Gamabunta a kind smile: "Who I am, you'll soon find out!"
As his voice fell, Naraku Uehara's figure abruptly disappeared from the spot!
The next second, Uehara kicked Gamabunta, sending the giant toad flying. Countless towering trees were knocked down in its path!
"Uehara, what… what are you doing?"
Latest novels are first released on 69shu bar!
Naruto Uzumaki stared at this scene in utter shock.
Only after Naraku Uehara had done all this did he turn his head and smile at the dumbfounded Naruto Uzumaki, "It was looking down on me just now! See, Naruto, even if you have this summoning beast, you can't be arrogant and think you've become strong, understand?"
"But…"
Naruto Uzumaki looked speechlessly at Gamabunta, which was lying on its back in the distance. Was this still the imposing Boss Toad from just now?
He had just thought he had obtained a powerful summoning beast, and from then on, his strength would soar, he would beat Sasuke, win Sakura's heart, and walk the path to becoming Hokage…
In the end, all his fantasies were slapped down by Naraku Uehara.
"Alright, but its strength is still acceptable."
Naraku Uehara flexed his wrist, glanced at Gamabunta who was getting back up, and walked towards it step by step: "Naruto, isn't it good if I help you discipline your summoning beast, so it will listen to you obediently in the future?"
"There's no need for that…"
Naruto Uzumaki hurriedly stepped forward to stop Uehara.
"It's very necessary. If you don't believe me, let's ask it."
Naraku Uehara watched Gamabunta charge towards them and shouted loudly at it, "Hey, you ugly monster, if Naruto needs you to participate in a battle, will you obey his summons?"
"Hmph, that kind of brat isn't even qualified to be my underling!"
Hearing Uehara's words, Gamabunta couldn't help but shout back loudly, reaching for the giant short sword at its waist. Its hind legs leaped into the air, pouncing towards Naraku Uehara!
How could it possibly back down!
As the currently strongest giant summoning beast in Mount Myoboku, the Great Toad Sage's most capable subordinate, Gamabunta's pride was imaginable.
Naraku Uehara pushed Naruto Uzumaki aside, looking incredibly heroic: "Naruto, then there's no other way. If Lord Jiraiya isn't here, let me help you train your little pet!"
"Who are you calling a little pet!"
Gamabunta slashed its sword down towards Naraku Uehara's position!
Naraku Uehara crossed his arms in front of him, activating his Spiked Defense Stance. An orange grid-like defense enveloped his body.
The moment the giant short sword fell, it was blocked by that grid defense!
A massive rebound force traveled through Gamabunta's palm into its body. The rebound damage from the Spiked Defense could perfectly turn the enemy's strength against them.
Half of the force Gamabunta used would rebound onto its body, especially since it had leaped into the air to enhance its power with the momentum of its fall.
To Uehara, Gamabunta was simply courting death!
The next moment, Gamabunta's body flew backward. Countless wounds burst open all over its body from the immense tremor, and it couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
Naraku Uehara flew up and appeared above Gamabunta, kicking down from the air, completely knocking the giant summoning beast to the ground!
Only when Gamabunta was covered in wounds did Naraku Uehara slowly land beside it: "Ugly thing, remember your status. You are just a summoning beast. From now on, you will obediently listen to Naruto, right?"
"..."
Gamabunta refused to answer.
At this moment, it thought Naraku Uehara was an idiot.
Who would subdue a summoning beast in this way? Wasn't he afraid his summoning beast would become a bastard like Manda, capable of betraying its master at any time?
