Naruto: Starting with the Celebrity of Japan

Because Misty Canyon is near the sea, the nights here can be quite chilly.

But Kurenai Yuhi couldn't care less about that anymore.

From the moment she discovered that Luanxiu had been sneaking off from the group and acting alone, she began to have some suspicions.

Now, recalling all this time, Ranshu would always ask to rest on the spot after killing a Kirigakure ninja.

Then he would blatantly show himself up next to the deceased and do what he claimed to be "gathering intelligence" or something similar.

These behaviors...

They're all too suspicious!

Could it be that Kumamoto Ransom is actually a spy from another country, infiltrating Konoha to do some unknown things?

I dare not even think about the sunset.

Because once she thought about this, she found many clues that would corroborate her conjecture.

The origin and identity of Luanxiu are unknown...

The extent of Ran Shu's strength, and the type of ninjutsu he used, remains unknown...

The deeper you delve, the more mysteries surround Ranxiu.

Kurenai pressed her body tightly against the rock wall to avoid being discovered by Ranshu.

In the distance, the chaotic show finally came to a stop.

Before him lay the mound formed from the grave of the unknown ninja that the squad had discovered at dusk.

Kurenai was even more surprised:

Ok?

Why is that?

What is Luanxiu doing at this deceased person's grave again?

The thought that Ran Shu was a weird quirk resurfaced in Kurenai's mind.

Now she has to believe that the chaotic show was directed at the dead...

They have interests beyond those of ordinary people.

Kurenai Yuhi remained inactive.

When Ranshu arrived at the grave, he knelt on one knee, just as he had done with the other deceased, and then remained motionless.

Yuhi Kurenai waited for a long time, but there was no new movement from Ranshu.

No, so you came here just to show off.

So you just want to space out?

The night breeze made the setting sun feel somewhat cold.

She was only wearing a semi-transparent, form-fitting mesh top.

The lower body was covered with a base layer wrapped in bandages.

If I wait any longer, I'm sure I'll catch a cold!

Kurenai finally decided to go out and question Ranshu right now.

If Ranxiu really is a spy from another country, then she will take the initiative and subdue him with illusion magic!

Judging from recent events, Ranshu doesn't seem to have shown any strength far beyond hers, aside from her keen senses as a sensory ninja.

Kurenai Yuhi is quite confident in this regard.

Then, Kurenai Yuhi gave a soft hum and stepped out from behind the rock wall.

Just then, Luanxiu on the other side suddenly made a move!

Luanxiu, who was still in a half-kneeling position, suddenly lowered his head and his whole body was trembling slightly.

From a distance, he appears to be in a very agitated state.

Kurenai was startled and cried out involuntarily:

"Luanxiu, what's wrong with you?!"

Concern for Luanxiu temporarily outweighed suspicion about her.

Seeing Ranshu in pain, Kurenai quickly ran over and helped him up.

Only after getting closer to Luanxiu did Hong finally see what Luanxiu looked like.

Luanxiu looked up at him, tears welling in her eyes, her body still trembling slightly.

The moment she saw Ran Shu's appearance, an idea popped into Kurenai Yuhi's mind!

She seemed to suddenly understand what Ranxiu was doing!

So this is just random fluff...

He ran to the grave at night...

They were actually mourning the dead!

At this moment, Kurenai Yuhi felt incredibly ashamed.

She had previously used such a filthy mindset to speculate about Ranshu, when Ranshu was merely disgusted by the war and came to express his pity and condolences to the dead!

Good heavens!

Looking back on Ranxiu's usual behavior now...

No wonder Ranshu would always kneel silently before the dead after each battle, just like now!

Those were all acts of kindness and frivolous displays, meant to comfort the deceased—

Even the spirits of our enemies in heaven!

In an instant, feelings of guilt and gratitude welled up in Kurenai's heart.

On the one hand, she felt guilty for betraying Luanxiu's trust.

On the other hand, she was also impressed by Ran Shu's ability to empathize with the deceased.

Even the dead of the enemy soldiers were moved.

Yes, countless ninja world wars have resulted in the deaths of countless people on the battlefield.

This led to the major ninja villages sending their newly graduated children into battle.

This also led many people to turn to the dark side and become new villains.

If everyone in the world could be like Ran Xiu...

Then why worry about the ninja world not being peaceful?

He's showing off... he really is...

Kurenai Yuhi shed tears and looked at Ranshu with even greater respect.

……

Meanwhile, the chaotic show...

Actually, it's just accepting the system's latest reward.

That's right, Ranxiu drew the reward of Scorching Release from the two 50/50 chance options!

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations on drawing result two, "Awakening the Scorching Release Bloodline Limit and learning the ninjutsu 'Scorching Release: Over-Steam Kill'", the reward is being distributed.]

Pretty!

I've had incredible luck again! I managed to draw the best one even though the odds were 50/50!

Luanxiu celebrated inwardly for a moment, then waited for the system to distribute the rewards.

Soon, Luanxiu felt a reaction inside her body.

A scorching heat coursed through my body.

This feeling is probably the system generating fire-attribute chakra for me.

Because Scorching Release is a bloodline limit of Wind Release and Fire Release, while Ranshu currently only has Wind Release and Water Release chakra within him.

The system must first release fire-style chakra.

After the scorching heat subsided, Luanxiu felt something raging inside her body, and her body temperature began to rise from within.

"Hmm!"

This uncomfortable feeling made Luanxiu lower her head and grit her teeth to control her body.

Next came a sharp, piercing pain.

Luanxiu almost cried from the pain.

When I first awakened the Sharingan, it didn't seem to be as painful as it is now.

It seems this Scorch Release technique is quite stimulating...

Finally, the reaction in Ranxiu's body stopped, and the discomfort gradually disappeared.

[Rewards have been distributed; Fire Release Chakra has been automatically awakened within you.]

[Has mastered knowledge of the ninjutsu "Scorching Release: Over-Steam Kill"]

The current target to be consumed is now prohibited from being eaten.

The system notification has ended.

From this moment on, Chaotic Show has gained an important new ability and means of dealing damage!

Choosing to trigger the system here at Yekura was absolutely the right decision!

Just then, as Ranxiu was feeling pleased with his newly awakened power, he suddenly heard a delicate cry from behind him:

"Luanxiu, what's wrong with you?!"

Immediately afterwards, Luanxiu felt someone run up to her and take her arm.

"Um?"

Luanxiu was taken aback.

He had originally avoided his teammates and came to Yekura's grave alone, so what's going on now?

Discovered?

Ranshu, who had been looking down, quickly raised his head and immediately saw Kurenai Yuhi kneeling beside him.

Kurenai Yuhi's face was full of concern, and for some unknown reason, she was crying her eyes out.

"Waaah, what a mess..."

"It was Kurenai Yuhi," she murmured.

"red?"

Luanxiu was greatly alarmed.

What happened all of a sudden?

Could it be that after I secretly left the camp, the camp was discovered and attacked by the Hidden Mist Village?

Oh my god, I've made a huge mistake!

Judging from Kurenai's appearance, could it be that Asuma was killed by Kirigakure?

This is terrible! How am I going to explain this to three generations of my family?
