Chapter 541: Naruto: Big Brother Amamiya!
"Big brother, what move did you use to defeat that poker face just now?"
Naruto asked curiously on the way back to class.
He had just seen his big brother smash that wooden dummy with a shoulder strike.
"Mountain Crash and One Inch Punch. Do you want to learn them?"
Kenichi looked at his younger brother with a half smile.
Naruto immediately nodded.
He thought it was super cool.
Since his big brother could defeat that poker face, then he should be able to do it too.
Wouldn't he become the most popular person in the class then?
Shikamaru and Choji would definitely look up to him!
"Don't bite off more than you can chew. Master the Three Basic Jutsu first."
Kenichi rubbed little Naruto's head.
Taijutsu might not be suitable for Naruto.
The future Naruto would develop the Rasengan in all sorts of ways, creating various types of Rasengan.
Moreover, Kenichi only used Mountain Crash and One Inch Punch because these were techniques he had known in his previous life.
If he wanted to incorporate them into his ninja life, he would need to make some improvements to these martial arts.
Naruto pulled a long face.
The Three Basic Jutsu were too boring.
But...
As if he suddenly thought of something, Naruto's eyes darted around, and then he revealed a mischievous grin.
"Big brother."
Naruto called out.
Kenichi subconsciously turned his head, then saw Naruto transform into a flashy blonde girl with twin tails, striking a deliberately exaggerated pose and blowing him a kiss.
The transformation was ridiculous, bold, and absurdly attention grabbing.
Kenichi thought that if Jiraiya saw it, he would probably pass out on the spot.
Should he say it was indeed the Sexy Jutsu that could defeat the Third Hokage, Jiraiya, and even be used in the battle against Kaguya in the future?
"If you put this much effort into practicing the Transformation Jutsu, you would have succeeded long ago."
Kenichi expressionlessly punched Naruto on the head, making Naruto cry out in pain and revert to his original form.
Kenichi's strength was not to be underestimated.
"Don't forget to wash your socks tonight when you get back."
Kenichi looked at his younger brother disapprovingly.
Although he knew Naruto was a bit unreliable, he had not expected him to have already developed the Sexy Jutsu at this stage.
Naruto's face turned pale, but there was nothing he could do.
When he arrived at school today, Kenichi had already been sitting in the classroom.
The thought of having to wash his big brother's socks for a week made Naruto feel completely drained.
He felt like he would not be able to be happy for the whole week.
He would probably even smell stinky socks on his hands when eating ramen.
That was simply suffocating.
"By the way, there are some areas where your Sexy Jutsu can be improved."
Kenichi thought about the scene he had just witnessed.
To be honest, as a prank technique, it was indeed rather interesting.
After all, in the manga, to pass censorship and avoid becoming something inappropriate, the details were not drawn.
But in reality, the technique's impact mainly came from surprise, not from raw transformation alone.
This made Kenichi think of some strange fan creations, such as combining Shadow Clones with Transformation Jutsu, which could probably solve certain bizarre scenarios all by itself.
"?"
Naruto did not speak.
But looking at his suspicious eyes, Kenichi knew what this little brat was thinking.
Although Kenichi had not read any books harmful to the physical and mental health of minors since coming to this world, in his previous life, he had seen many strange things.
In his opinion, Naruto's Sexy Jutsu was too direct.
That made it inferior.
"Do you think a bare apple is more enticing, or a half covered apple?"
Kenichi asked, looking at his clueless younger brother with exasperation.
He actually quite liked the Sexy Jutsu.
Although this ninjutsu was improper, that impropriety was precisely its characteristic.
What would be the point if it were proper?
The main point of this ninjutsu was surprise, and if used well, it could produce some good effects.
"Aren't apples for eating?"
Naruto blinked, asking in confusion.
Kenichi rolled his eyes, then had to use a term Naruto could understand.
"Oh! Teacher, you mean [beep], ah!"
Naruto suddenly understood.
Kenichi silently closed his mouth.
He had just auto censored himself, then nodded.
He was referring to the woman Naruto had just transformed into.
Although the transformation was already flashy and eye catching, it still lacked a certain layered sense of misdirection.
"But isn't this good enough?"
Naruto was a bit confused.
Kenichi was not in a hurry.
Naruto would only think this was the best version right now.
But later...
"Come here, I'll tell you. Next time you use Sexy Jutsu, just..."
Kenichi pulled Naruto closer and whispered instructions.
Naruto nodded, seeming to understand but also not quite understand.
Although he did not fully get why he had to do it this way, what his big brother said was always right.
He just needed to do it.
Kenichi returned to his office.
He stretched, then leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes and compressing the chakra within his body.
It was worth mentioning that the afternoon class included a session on ninja tool usage and throwing, taught by Mizuki.
During the class, Mizuki inadvertently glanced at Naruto a few times.
Kenichi had met Teacher Mizuki.
This guy seemed like a very gentle person and was quite popular among the girls, but that was in other classes.
In his class, the most popular person was Sasuke.
"Sasuke is so handsome!"
The infatuated girls were fawning over Sasuke nearby, while Sasuke occasionally glanced at Kenichi.
That then triggered screams from the girls, making Kenichi's ears hurt.
Even when school ended, many people were still gathered around Sasuke.
"Hmph, what's there to be so proud of?"
Naruto said, full of jealousy.
Sakura Haruno, whom he liked, also liked Sasuke, which made him very envious.
Kenichi glanced at Naruto and said nothing.
It was normal for young people to have crushes.
It was good to let Naruto suffer a bit first.
After the day's classes ended, Kenichi took his younger brother to the school gate.
Passing students carefully moved past the two brothers.
When Kenichi looked at them, they scurried away like startled rabbits.
These people who liked to ostracize Naruto had all been taught a lesson by Kenichi.
They had tried to resist, but it was useless.
They only got beaten more severely.
"Teacher Kenichi! Naruto!"
A voice that sounded passionate just by listening rang out.
Kenichi turned his head and saw the bushy browed Lee, wearing a green jumpsuit, crawling toward them upside down.
Kenichi's mouth twitched.
Lee was still the same.
He quickly crawled to his side, then stood up, wiping the sweat from his forehead while panting.
"Teacher Kenichi, today is the day for that, right?"
Lee looked at Kenichi expectantly, his eyes shining.
"It's just eating hot pot. Don't make it sound like you're doing something important."
Kenichi was a bit speechless.
But he also knew that Lee was quite direct in his speech.
That was just his personality.
"I super love Teacher Kenichi's hot pot!"
Lee gave a thumbs up, showing a smile that looked exactly like Might Guy's.
Kenichi did not have many friends at the Ninja Academy.
Might Guy was one of them.
After all, Kenichi had a good relationship with him and knew his personality.
But Kakashi did not know him yet.
Kenichi was not surprised.
He was not supposed to be in this world.
He was an intruder.
However, Might Guy was a jonin, so he was not seen very often.
As for Kakashi, he was often on missions, so Kenichi had not met him yet.
"Shikamaru! Choji!"
Naruto waved.
He had also seen his friends.
Kenichi snapped out of his thoughts.
He turned his head and saw Shikamaru and Choji walking over, carrying several bags.
"Sorry, Naruto, Teacher Kenichi. I just went home to get ingredients."
Shikamaru lifted the bags in his hand.
Choji proudly showed off the meat in his bag.
There were various kinds of meat, making Naruto's mouth water.
Kenichi showed a kind smile.
"Let's go. By tradition, we're eating at our place today."
Kenichi called out, and then the five of them walked together toward his and Naruto's home.
After the five of them became acquainted, they organized two gatherings every month.
Each gathering would be held at a different person's home, except Shikamaru and Choji always treated them to meals outside.
Kenichi had no objection to this, as he knew that some ninja in Shikamaru and Choji's families had issues with them.
Although the two clan heads knew some inside information, they could not interfere too much.
Along the way, the few of them chatted happily, ignoring the strange looks from the villagers, until Naruto suddenly stopped as they walked.
"What's wrong?"
Kenichi looked at his younger brother.
Naruto was looking at something.
Kenichi followed Naruto's gaze and saw Sasuke.
He was standing on the other side of the street, holding some medicine and looking at them with complicated emotions.
As if noticing Kenichi's and the others' gaze, Sasuke quickly turned and left.
Naruto scratched his head.
He always felt that Sasuke, with that look just now, seemed quite pitiful.
Did he not have any friends either?
Looking at his older brother and three friends beside him, Naruto smiled happily.
Although he was often ostracized in the village and at school, even cursed and pointed at, he did not feel too sad.
After all, his older brother had said that one or two lifelong friends were enough.
The twilight sun cast its rays, slipping through the eaves and falling onto Sasuke.
Then the light slid down his clothes and onto the ground, leaving only his lowered figure gradually walking into the darkness.
"Big brother, who are my mom and dad?"
Late at night, lying in bed, Naruto curiously asked a question.
Kenichi was currently living with Naruto.
The Third Hokage had strong opinions about that, but after Kenichi demonstrated his Wood Release ninjutsu, the Third Hokage had no objections.
"I don't know. Didn't Hokage-sama say they were two ninja who sacrificed themselves for the village?"
Kenichi yawned, then turned over, pulled up the blanket, and spoke with his eyes closed.
"Oh."
Naruto blinked, then lay in bed, wondering what he was thinking.
Kenichi had no intention of saying more.
Although he knew who Naruto's parents were, it was clearly not something he could tell Naruto.
Kenichi still did not know his situation in this world or how to return.
He had suspected it was a genjutsu, but he had been in this world for over a week and still had not found any flaws.
Every phenomenon here existed naturally, with no flaws whatsoever.
Thinking of this, Kenichi touched his stomach.
The chakra in his body was also continuously being compressed.
But without Samehada, Kenichi's compression speed had slowed down significantly.
However, there was still some progress, and Kenichi could only continue compressing chakra to improve his strength while trying to find the strange thing that had sent him to this world.
A moment later, in the quiet night, Kenichi heard the rustling of a blanket.
He did not speak.
Instead, he pretended to sleep with his eyes closed.
He and Naruto slept in bunk beds, with Naruto on the bottom and him on top.
After a while, accompanied by Naruto's slightly nasal sniffles and the sound of him getting up, Kenichi opened his eyes.
He looked at the dim ceiling, then sat up, startling Naruto.
"Hungry? How about some rice with soy sauce?"
Kenichi deliberately pretended not to see Naruto's red eyes and nose, then smiled and rubbed Naruto's head.
"Mm."
Naruto rubbed his nose awkwardly, lowering his head shyly.
He thought he had woken his brother.
But his brother was just hungry.
Good, good.
His embarrassing moment had not been seen by his big brother.
In late night Konoha, a lamp lit up.
Kenichi opened the pot lid and looked inside.
There was still some rice in the pot, a good amount.
He had not lied to Naruto.
Children at this age did not have much else, just big appetites.
The saying that a half grown boy could eat his father out of house and home was not just a casual remark.
"There was some meat left over from the hot pot that wasn't cooked... These meat slices can't be used for anything else, so let's make some grilled meat."
Kenichi quickly decided on his and Naruto's late night meal.
Cold rice did not need extra processing.
Just scoop it out, pour on soy sauce, add a bit of Kenichi's homemade chili oil, and stir it evenly.
That was delicious enough.
Soon, the aroma of grilled meat wafted out through the window.
Watching Naruto eat his meal heartily, Kenichi smiled and then handed the last skewer of grilled meat on the plate to his younger brother.
"Thanks, big brother!"
Naruto smiled happily.
Looking at Naruto's smile, Kenichi was a bit lost in thought.
After all, the future Child of Prophecy who would shake the Shinobi World was now just a little kid who would cry for his mom in the middle of the night.
Kenichi sighed.
So, how was he supposed to return to his own timeline?
Kenichi felt very melancholic.
