Naruto: Starting with the Celebrity of Japan

Kumamoto Ranshu just unconsciously sniffed twice.

This was a habit he had when he was a black bear.

But this very habitual action surprised Luanxiu.

Because he discovered that even after he transformed into human form, his keen sense of smell remained.

"Oh?"

After discovering this, Luanxiu thought of the system notification that he had gained the ability to transform into a bear and summon bear-shaped clones.

Let's make a reasonable deduction.

Although Ranshu is currently in human form, he can still revert to his black bear form if needed.

Both forms share the same capabilities.

In this way, the human form can also possess the powerful strength and perception of a black bear, while the bear form can also use some of the ninja's techniques and items.

That's a pretty good ability.

In another magical world, those with this ability are known as Animagus...

However, now is not the time to delve into this.

Luanxiu sniffed a few more times and immediately recognized the newcomer's identity based on his experience.

"Two Konoha ninjas, one male and one female. The woman smells very pleasant, but the man smells... well, a little strange..."

Luanxiu murmured.

Before long, two ninjas appeared in front of Ranshu.

Now that Ranshu is a handsome guy, there's no need for him to hide like a bear. So when the two ninjas showed up, they immediately noticed Ranshu's presence.

One of the two was a boy wearing windproof goggles.

Upon spotting Luanxiu standing in the woods, he immediately became alert.

He suddenly darted in front of the girl with an exaggerated movement.

"Who goes there?!"

The boy shouted.

Luan Xiu looked closely and immediately recognized who the two people were.

That loud and boisterous boy was none other than the protagonist of a story where even divine might cannot hide tears.

That exquisitely beautiful girl is the sensible version of herself from the same story...

Obito Uchiha and Rin Nohara!

"Who...who are you? Don't kill me, I was just passing by..."

Luanxiu immediately feigned a terrified expression, and weakly said while giving a French military salute.

Appeared!

Oppenheimer-level acting!

Seeing Ran Shu's timid appearance, Obito's guard relaxed slightly.

"What?! It's just a passerby..."

Obito said to Rin behind him.

Quiet.

There was no sound from behind Lin...

"Um?"

Obito turned his head away in surprise.

But when he turned around, he was surprised to find that Lin was still standing there perfectly fine, but her eyes were a little glazed over.

She stared intently at Luanxiu and murmured in a very low voice:

"So handsome..."

No matter how understanding Nohara Rin is, she is still just a young girl at heart. After seeing Ran Shu, she couldn't help but swoon for a moment!

"What?"

Obito paused for a moment, then glanced at Ranshu again before falling silent.

A few seconds later, he muttered two dissatisfied words:

"Hmph, he is somewhat handsome, but thankfully he's still a ways off from my level..."

"..."

"..."

The air in the room froze awkwardly for a moment...

A few seconds later, it was still the chaotic performance that broke the silence:

"Ahem, um. Are you Konoha ninjas? Can you help me? I'm lost and don't know how I got here, and then I came across these three corpses."

"what!"

It was only then that Nohara Rin suddenly realized that her purpose in coming here was to hunt down the black bear.

She quickly ran to Ranxiu's side, looked down at the corpses of the two dead Cloud Village ninjas, and then glanced at the corpses of the Uchiha ninjas in the distance.

All three of them were killed violently.

The bodies of the two Cloud Village ninjas even had black bear claw marks on them.

Rin Nohara quickly waved to Obito:

"Obito! It really is Black Bear! Look, it has already attacked three people, and they're ninjas!"

Then, Lin looked up at Luanxiu beside her with a hint of reproach and said:

"What's your name? How did you get here? It's too dangerous! There are black bears attacking people around here!"

Ranxiu scratched his golden hair and said:

"My name is Kumamoto Ranshu."

Obito then walked up to the two of them.

He glanced down at the Cloud Village ninja, then looked up and stared at Ranshu with even greater vigilance.

It seems that ever since Rin told Obito that Ran Shu was handsome, Obito's hostility towards Kuma has been far less than his hostility towards Ran Shu.

Dai Tu said suspiciously:

"Your name is Kumamoto Ransuke? Have you seen a black bear nearby?"

Ranxiu lied and said:

"No, it was like this when I arrived."

Obito glanced at Ranshu with ill intent, but found no evidence that Ranshu was lying.

But he still stubbornly insisted:

"Hmph, then you're very suspicious. You might be the one who killed the ninjas!"

Rin Nohara frowned upon hearing Obito's arbitrary accusations:

"Obito! What are you talking about? This was clearly done by Black Bear!"

After listening to their conversation, Luanxiu couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex feeling of mixed emotions, including admiration and reflection).

We are currently in the midst of the Third Shinobi World War, with spies from both sides taking turns to appear, making the situation complex and tense.

Although Obito doesn't seem to like me very much...

But at least they raised reasonable doubts about their own identity.

Rin Nohara...

But they didn't doubt Ranxiu's identity at all!

This girl is just too gentle and understanding!

Of course, this could also be related to the fact that he flaunted his good looks; people tend to have a natural affinity for good-looking people...

This is true in the real world, and it is also true in the Naruto world.

There's no way around it, looks are everything.

However, Obito is being a bit annoying right now.

This guy hates all potential rivals equally.

Ran Shu feels like Obito has gradually transformed from a troublemaker into a troublemaker...

"that--"

Luanxiu spoke up.

"I didn't do it. I'm a ninja from the Land of Hot Water. I came here to escape the war in my hometown. I heard that Konoha Village takes in refugees, so I originally wanted to go to Konoha, but I got lost for some reason. I've run out of food and my clothes are torn, so I had no choice but to wander here and scavenge for food..."

Ranxiu offered a plausible explanation to the two of them.

The current forest is located in the northeast of the Land of Fire. Further east, beyond the Land of Iron, lies the small island where the Land of Hot Water is located.

Therefore, it seems not impossible that refugees from the Land of Hot Springs ended up here.

Unfortunately, Obito doesn't seem to buy into that!

After hearing Ranshu's explanation, one corner of Obito's mouth began to turn up slightly.

In the current situation, an unidentified person suddenly appeared and said that he wanted to go to Konoha.

Without even a second thought, this person definitely has ill intentions!

This guy in front of him is still too green to fool Obito!

Thinking of this, Obito couldn't help but feel a little smug.

He sneered:

"Hmph, coming from the Land of Hot Water, wanting to go to Konoha? Only a fool would believe that—"

"Oh my god, how pitiful!"

Suddenly, Rin Nohara's exclamation interrupted Obito's speech.

At that moment, she was looking at Luanxiu with loving eyes, her gaze full of sympathy.

"Forehead……"

Obito looked a little disheveled.

It seems that, no matter what, Lin has already come to believe that Luanxiu's pitiful experience is true.

There's no other way. As long as Rin supports it, Obito never objects...

Lin stared at Luanxiu with bright, sparkling eyes and said sincerely:

"We're from Konoha Village. If you don't mind, why don't you come back with us?"

Ranxiu immediately replied:

"Huh? Is it okay? But I look like this..."

As he spoke, he tugged at his ill-fitting clothes, then looked at his bare feet, as if he was afraid of being disliked.

He looked at the shoes on everyone's feet and showed an envious expression.

Both Obito and Rin were wearing blue open-toed sandals in the Konoha style.

However, although the two of them were wearing the same shoes.

Luanxiu's gaze lingered on Lin's feet for a while longer...

Beneath Lin's dark red over-the-knee socks were her feet.

Her five delicate white toes were clearly visible outside her ninja shoes, shimmering with a luminous white light in the dappled sunlight filtering through the trees.

The toenails were carefully painted with light purple paint, reflecting a bright shine.

Those tiny feet are so endearing...

In the eyes of seasoned gourmets, I wonder where these jade-like feet would be ranked...

Obito noticed that Ran Shu hadn't spoken for a long time and had been looking down, seemingly engrossed in something.

Confused, Obito had no choice but to lower his head and follow Ranshu's gaze...

It wasn't until he saw the target at the end of Ranshu's gaze that Obito suddenly realized what was going on.

So it turns out that Luanxiu had been staring at Lin's feet the whole time!

In an instant, Obito's face turned a little red!

He immediately jumped up, pointed at Luanxiu, and warned him loudly:

"What are you doing?!"

"Don't you dare peek at Lin's feet!!!"
