Naruto: Starting with the Celebrity of Japan

Minato glanced at Ranshu...

And Might Guy, who immediately put his arm around Ran Xiu's shoulder, shook his head helplessly.

Thinking about the bond that would form between the boys...

Wow, that's really fast!

The decision to have a group barbecue was thus finalized.

Minato had other things to do, so he said goodbye to the three of them and left quickly.

Meanwhile, Akai, who was arm in arm with Luanxiu, suddenly realized a problem.

He turned to look at Luanxiu and asked:

"Um, my dear friend, I still don't know your name..."

Kakashi, who was standing nearby, almost vomited blood.

I was thinking, you don't even know her, yet you're showing off like this, and you're already best friends?

"Didn't Minato-sensei just call out my name? Ranshu, Kumamoto Ranshu. He's my teacher now, and he's the one who developed my ninjutsu."

Kakashi impatiently answered for Ran Shu.

Upon hearing Kakashi's introduction, Guy's eyes lit up instantly.

"Oh, so you're the one being called 'Random Show'!"

"Hmm? You've heard of me?"

Luanxiu was somewhat surprised.

"Yeah, aren't you that Ran Shu who was brought back to Konoha by Nohara Rin, but had ulterior motives towards her, always lied to her, disobeyed orders, and even openly flirted with many girls on the streets of Konoha?"

Ah Kai recounted the story as if it were a treasure trove of knowledge.

Luanxiu was completely stunned upon hearing this.

I thought to myself, "Who the hell is spreading rumors about me?!"

You talk badly about me behind my back, aren't you afraid of running out of seasoning packets when you eat instant noodles?

But judging from what he said...

She kept calling him "Little Lin" and even knew about his many misdeeds, such as "disobeying orders" and "flirting with many girls on Konoha Street"...

Could it be that person who said it?

A figure appeared in Luanxiu's mind.

Wait a minute, I didn't offend him, did I?

Just as Luanxiu was wondering what was going on, Akai slapped Luanxiu's shoulder hard with youthful force, interrupting Luanxiu's thoughts.

Akai said:

"Oh, never mind that. I knew you weren't that kind of person the moment you treated me to barbecue!"

"Forehead."

After being repeatedly exposed and hurt by the rumors, he simply stopped thinking about spreading them.

"By the way, what were you guys doing just now?"

Guy shifted the topic to Ran Shu and Kakashi's training session.

"Develop ninjutsu."

Kakashi said honestly.

"oh."

Ah Kai instantly lost interest.

Although Guy is different from the future Rock Lee, he can use ninjutsu, but he's not really interested in it.

On the contrary, physical skills were his lifelong pursuit.

Thinking of this, Luanxiu immediately remembered his purpose in trying to win over Akai.

That's right, learning the Hatake family's swordsmanship from Kakashi is one way to improve one's taijutsu skills, but there's an even faster way to enhance one's taijutsu abilities...

Of course it is...

Dig up Mitekai's ancestral graves!

Keep in mind that this was while Ranshu was still on a mission near the Land of Water.

Just as Misty Canyon swallowed up Pakura, a Sand Village ninja who had been dead for a year, he obtained the powerful Scorching Release Kekkei Genkai.

This experience shows that even though the deceased has been dead for a long time, Luanxiu still has a certain probability of being able to devour the dead!

Guy's father, Might Guy, fought a bloody battle against the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

And he died less than a year ago...

In other words, Ran Xiu no longer needs to go to the battlefield. There is a grave in the village where Might Guy's body is buried, waiting for him to trigger the system!

"It's a little unethical for Akai, but I won't destroy the grave, so Might Guy absolutely has to eat it!"

"After all... this time the reward for devouring will definitely be that..."

"Secret Technique: Eight Gates Formation!"

The Eight Gates Formation is extremely difficult to master. If Ran Shu could directly open all eight gates by absorbing Might Guy, it would be impossible.

Does that mean I can stop eating beef right away?

Luanxiu made up his mind that he had to complete this devouring as soon as possible.

The rest of the time was spent with Ran Shu, Kakashi, and Might Guy on the training field.

When it came to physical training, Akai gladly joined in.

Together with Kakashi, he trained Ran Shu in physical combat.

This also led to a sudden increase in the intensity of Luanxiu's training.

However, the harder you work, the more you reap the rewards (Hashirama Senju: Ah, right, right)...

In short, Luanxiu spent all of today's time on the training field.

……

On the other side, in the Uchiha clan's territory.

Obito Uchiha was sitting at his table at home, writing in a diary.

This was a habit he developed after returning from Kannabi Bridge.

However, rather than calling it a diary, it's more accurate to say it was a book...

A grudge notebook!

Because from the very beginning, the notes contained vengeful remarks related to Random Show:

"On November 2nd, the day after returning from Kannabi Bridge, I left the hospital because whenever I calmed down, all I could think about was Ran Shu's image from that time. Damn it! That should have been my chance to shine. I should have been the one who saved Rin..."

"November 3rd, my eyes hurt so much, it feels like they're getting more tomoe... I hate Ranshu! This kind of life is worse than dying at Kannabi Bridge! How much longer do I have to endure this, Rin... Oh Rin..."

"On November 4th, I went to see Lin. She was awake, but she kept talking about that Ranxiu. Why! Why! What kind of magic does that guy have? All of this should belong to me! I must become stronger, stronger than Ranxiu! If I have another chance, I will take back everything that belongs to me..."

Indeed, after returning from Kannabi Bridge, Obito's spirit seemed to have been greatly stimulated.

He blamed all his incompetence in battle on Ran Shu's rescue...

In medicine, this psychological effect is called—

What it's called doesn't matter; it's simply a paranoid personality disorder.

After scribbling a few more notes in his notebook, Obito felt a little hungry.

He stood up, walked to the dining table, opened a bucket of instant noodles, and prepared to eat some.

And that was right after he tore open the packaging of the instant noodles.

I searched high and low but couldn't find the seasoning packet that should have been inside.

"No seasoning packet?"

Obito's mood instantly worsened.

"Bang"!

He slammed his fist hard on the table.

Then, he raised his face, which was filled with resentment and anger, and cursed at the air:

"Damn it! Why is the whole world targeting me?! Why?!!"

……

After a day of training, Ranshu finally said goodbye to Kakashi and Guy.

Today's training was very fruitful, especially for Ran Shu, who not only developed a new variant of Fire Release ninjutsu—Crimson Flame.

He also learned a lot of martial arts and swordsmanship skills, which made up for some of his shortcomings.

Luanxiu returned to her little wooden cabin in the orphanage, ate some bread provided by the orphanage, and then washed up thoroughly.

The sky gradually darkened.

Ranxiu changed into suitable clothes and planned to sneak towards the Konoha cemetery after nightfall.

There...

The tomb of Might Guy, the father of Akai!

"Whether we can acquire the Eight Gates depends on this one move!"

Just as Luanxiu was muttering to herself in her room, there was a sudden "knock knock" at the door.

"Luanxiu? Are you home?"

Luanxiu was stunned, thinking to herself, it's already dark, who would choose this time to look for her?

"Who?"

Luanxiu asked towards the door.

"It is I, Kurenai Yuhi."

The voice outside the door answered.
