Chapter 55: Graduation Gift
A long and boring meeting in the Civilian Council ended, which should have involved people questioning why a ninja like her is in it, what is a kid doing here, etc.
But, things like that didn't happen, because I was sitting beside Daimyo's wife.
Anyway, after it ended, I got the basic idea of some councillors.
Kizashi Haruno, Sakura's dad, is obviously a family friend and the CEO of Uzumaki Mall, so he is my employee, and has to follow my orders.
If my guess is correct, I have atleast 10% of the councillors right now who will back my proposal of copyrights.
The percentage need to cross 50%.
After saying goodbye to Daimyo's wife and the people I have connections with, I left the council building, and found Naruto waiting for me.
"How was your sensei?"
We talked on our way to my palace while h*lding h*nds.
"Hmm, I think that guy is actually stronger than Guy-sensei."
I raised my eyebrow at Naruto's evaluation of Kakashi.
Well, many things have changed a lot. So it might actually be true.
Afterall, Kakashi has is a lot talented, on par with Father-in-law. If a genius like him worked hard as much as Guy-sensei, even with the strain of Sharingan, it might actually be possible.
Hardwork doesn't beat talent. Hardwork beats talent that doesn't work hard.
Well, the stronger Kakashi is, the better.
According to me, Kakashi is actually a really good teacher.
In Part 1, Naruto was severely lacking in basics. And as a genius who probably didn't have much difficulties in learning basic things, he got Ebisu to be his teacher.
If Hiruzen left his grandson's education to him, he should be atleast good at basic stuff.
Then, Jiraiya took Naruto to 2, 2 and half, or 3 years trip, I don't know exactly, and Naruto was able to do basic stuff, and a bigger Rasengan, in which he still needed Shadow Clones.
My Naruto can already perform Rasengan with one hand, and big ball Rasengan with the help of two shadow clones.
Jiraiya is a bad teacher.
Father-in-law was a genius, creating Rasengan himself, and while he might have gotten some help in fuinjutsu, mastered the Flying Thunder God even before that.
I don't know much about Yahiko. Nagato had Rinnegan, and Konan's paper jutsu is really OP. I don't know if it is a kekkai genkai, or some jutsu she created herself, possibly with the help of Nagato's Rinnegan helping her out in the development of jutsu.
I don't think Jiraiya had as much of an effect as Konan's being a genius herself. Of course, without Jiraiya teaching her fuinjutsu, it would be impossible for her to get so strong.
If possible, I would like to recruit her.
Well, anyway, Kakashi, in the span of some days or months, taught Naruto the cheat of Shadow Clones, finished his Wind Style transformation, and helped him in creating Rasenshuriken, the strongest Wind Release jutsu.
It is clear that had Naruto stayed in Konoha with Kakashi teaching him ninjutsu, and training with the toads, he would have been much stronger.
"Naruto, Kakashi is claimed to have mastered a thousand jutsus. Ask him to help you master Earth Style transformation first and a lot of jutsus. Let's move to other nature transformation afterwards."
"Hmm."
Wind Style is best in offence, but poor in defence, so Earth style is the best nature transformation for Naruto next.
Mud Wall and hiding in a mole are really useful jutsus, especially in Naruto's hands.
Afterall, lightning can also provide defence, but not to others, like me.
And since Karin's chakra nature is water, lightning will be the third nature transformation I will have Naruto master. Purple lightning, Chidori's variants, and especially, Kirin.
It will be great to use Kirin in Pain's home turf. Where it is always raining, sky always covered with clouds.
Anyway, Naruto will be able to master both Earth and Lightning release in six months, befor Chunin Exam.
I have to be careful about what could have happened with Izumi. I can't predict how will the Konoha Crush Arc go.
And that will be the perfect opportunity to turn Naruto into a hero.
We reached home, and it seemed like Karin hasn't returned yet.
Building it took quite a lot of money. Using Hashirama trees' wood to be able to carve sealings, thick iron plates so that Zetsu can't easily come, and of course, an intent detection barrier too.
It is a fortress, though I don't know if it will be able to withstand Shinra Tensei.
We passed through the barriers, and entered home.
I should get the Gelal Stones, if they exist, soon to increase the number of barriers and not having Naruto and Karin charge them daily.
Still, Rubik's barrier that I came up with is something that I don't have much confidence in, given that there are so many geniuses. Obito will not be able to solve those, but he has Kamui.
Obito is really stupid. If I had Kamui, I could have completed his stupid plan in a jiffy.
Instead of reviving his crush, who didn't even love him back, he tried to put the world under genjutsu. Where Rin would love him, despite being a genocidal maniac.
What a loser. And people think that Naruto could have been like Obito. Gaara, definitely yes. But Obito? Hell no.
"Naruto, I have a gift for you."
I brought something that I have been working on for a while.
"Shiori-chan, you are the best!"
He carefully removed the gift wrapper, and got two gauntlets.
"It is Shinobi Gauntlet, Model-II. Put on the right one."
He put on the right-handed one, and I put on the left handed one.
"Now, put your blood in mine, and I will put mine in yours."
For fuinjutsu, I have to use blood. And well, my spit can activate the seals.
We did it at the same time, and a summoning contract was formed between us.
Naruto charged my gauntlet's crystal, and then, I smirked.
"I will go to the bedroom, and well, you can prepare your gift that you are hiding in the meantime. Keep it with you."
"Huh? What gift!?"
Yeah. He really can't lie to me. It's written all over his face.
Waving him bye, I went to my bedroom, got changed, put on a comfortable yukata, and started putting on a red lipstick.
After a while, oh.
After an hour of getting ready, I activated the summoning jutsu engraved in the gauntlet.
And with a puff of smoke, Naruto appeared.
It was a success!
"Huh!? I didn't know that summoning jutsu can be used this way."
He muttered, and seeing me, started blushing.
"Umm, Shiori-chan, I made this gift myself."
Naruto took out a Kurama stuffed toy. And, it was purple.
"You made this yourself!?"
"Yeah. I used transformation jutsu and shadow clones to learn how to make them from the Pokemon stuffed toy makers."
I immediately pushed him to the bed, and got on the top of him.
"Thank you so much! You put in so much effort for me... Let me reward you."
I took off our gauntlets, and put my hands over his chest.
I could feel something poking, but I ignored it, giving him a smirk.
He started blushing, and looked away.
Well, It's not the time yet for that.
But...
I took his chin in my hand, and made him to look at me.
He looked at me in the eyes, and they continuously darted towards my lips.
I opened my mouth, and said,
"Why don't you eat me from the inside?"
