Naruto: I made you Naruto, and you've become blond?

Chapter 131 The Aura of Bad Luck Takes Effect

The Konoha gates did not house the Kotetsu duo that Naruto knew from his previous life.

Instead, they were two unfamiliar Chunin wearing green vests.

Naruto thought to himself, "Maybe it will be a few more years before the two of them become gatekeepers?"

One of the chuunibyou, with slightly thin lips and a scar on his face, spoke with conviction and in a cold voice.

"No! We absolutely cannot leave the village without a pass personally approved by the Hokage!"

A barrier stood in front of Naruto and Kurenai, blocking their path.

Even the bright and lustrous oval face of the sunset was somewhat stunned.

Although there are such regulations in principle for entering and leaving Konoha Village, in order to prevent spies from enemy villages from freely entering and invading.

Normally, entering the village is more strictly controlled, while leaving the village is relatively more relaxed.

Jonin are usually only given a simple question and then allowed to pass.

Even for ordinary Chunin like Kurenai Yuhi, whose rank is lower than Jonin, the same thing happened in her previous missions outside the village.

This was the first time she had been deliberately stopped because she didn't have the Hokage's pass.

Kurenai Yuhi smiled gently and explained softly.

"I am Kurenai Yuhi, a Chunin instructor at the Ninja Academy."

"My comrades have already gone to the Hokage Building to get the pass. Could you let us leave the village first?"

"We agreed to meet in the Death Forest outside the village."

The Chunin with the scar on his face looked at Kurenai Yuhi, paused, and his expression was still impatient as he prepared to refuse again.

Suddenly, another Chunin beside him tugged at his arm and whispered a few words of advice to him.

The cold, refusal expression on Scarface's face softened slightly.

Upon seeing this, a hint of joy flashed across Xi Rihong's plump oval face.

But the scarred-faced ninja hesitated for a moment.

Her gaze swept over Naruto beside Kurenai Yuhi again, and her slightly softened expression turned cold once more.

He dismissed the evening gloomy path impatiently, as if shooing away flies.

"Stop babbling on and on! If I said no, then no!"

"Without a pass, you can't go anywhere outside the village!"

Kurenai Yuhi's pretty face stiffened. Now she realized that Konoha had recently increased its level of security and the rules had become stricter.

It was because Naruto was with him this time that the Chunin guarding the gate were deliberately making things difficult for him.

But we can't say the other party was wrong, since they were just following the village rules!

Kurenai looked down at Naruto standing beside her!

She recalled all the rumors about Naruto, that lecherous brat, including the story Mizuki had told her about how he was ostracized and neglected by the village because of the rumors about the fox spirit.

Although the Third Hokage recently issued a statement clarifying the situation, such rumors that have been ingrained in people's minds for years are difficult to eradicate in a short time!

His own father, Kurenai Yuhi, also sacrificed himself a few years ago during the Nine-Tails' attack, but since the Hokage specifically issued a statement clarifying that this lecherous brat is not the Demon Fox…

So I had indeed mistakenly thought he was my father's killer...

Naruto, standing beside him, simply shrugged, unfazed, and then looked around with a relaxed expression.

They looked at the Death Forest not far away as if it were a picnic, as if it were commonplace.

Kurenai pursed her full, red lips, her pretty face showing a complex expression.

That lecherous brat must have realized long ago that he was being deliberately targeted by the Chunin guarding the gate!

He must have carried this vicious rumor about a fox spirit since he was a child, and endured countless instances of deliberate exclusion like today…

He sighed inwardly, realizing he shouldn't have been so critical and judgmental of Naruto Uzumaki as he had been before.

Naruto watched the Chunin who had deliberately blocked their way leave, and he felt annoyed.

The other party's cold and disgusted gaze, and the blatant targeting, were all too obvious.

Since he was taken in by Tsunade, such exclusion and indifference have decreased significantly.

However, this time the other party has a legitimate pretext, so it's not easy to take action lightly.

Suddenly, a thought struck him: hadn't he just acquired that "bad luck halo"?

Immediately, the [Bad Luck Aura] was summoned in the mental system.

Within Naruto's vision, a thin, silky membrane-like domain seemed to have appeared within a radius of about ten meters.

The optional icons that appeared above the heads of Kurenai Yuhi and the other two were included.

Naruto hesitated for a moment, after all, this bad luck aura skill was quite valuable.

Although it lacks direct and overt destructive power, its unconditional lock-on ability seems to be quite effective in crucial moments when fighting against some top-tier experts.

After a slight hesitation, Naruto clicked "Confirm Use" on the scarred face that was maliciously targeting him.

The latest novel is first published here!

Having transmigrated to the ninja world, there's no need to put up with this humiliation; revenge is a matter of course.

At worst, when I encounter Madara Uchiha and the others in the future, as a Jinchuriki and the reincarnation of Ashura's chakra, I can rely solely on my numerical stats and crush them with my sheer talent, just like Tetsuo and Koma.

Almost simultaneously with Naruto using his skill.

Not far from the main gate of Konoha, a Chunin comrade nudged Scarface with his elbow, his expression somewhat worried.

"Kato! That fox demon brat seems to have been taken in as a disciple by Lady Tsunade. There's no need for this."

"Just turn a blind eye and let them out!"

Scarface looked displeased and glanced at Kurenai Yuhi, who was still standing not far away, especially since the blond brat seemed to be casting his gaze in their direction.

The scarred man's eyes darkened, a flash of jealousy crossing his face.

"What's there to be afraid of? They don't have a pass; we're just following the rules!"

"Besides, a fox demon is a fox demon! I don't know what kind of incredible luck she had to get Lady Tsunade to take a liking to her!"

Suddenly, a young man who looked seven or eight parts like the scarred ninja ran over anxiously.

He stopped in front of Kato, but looked hesitant with a constipated expression.

Kato found this strange and was about to ask a question when the young man with the similar appearance spoke impatiently.

"Brother, as soon as you left this morning, your wife took Old Wang from next door, saying they were going to fix the water pipes. They went into the bedroom and haven't come out since..."

Upon hearing this, Kato's expression remained normal, showing no sign of anything amiss.

A moment later, he realized what was happening, his expression suddenly changed, and his face turned ugly. Repairing water pipes so early in the morning?!

The problem is, where the hell are the water pipes in the bedroom?!

There was no time to give instructions to his companions. He had to prepare to hurry back with his younger brother.

At that moment, an elderly man with a serious face, dressed in a green vest resembling that of a Jonin, emerged from a nearby street.

Just then, he bumped into Kato, who was about to slip away, and quickly called out to him in a stern voice, "Stop!"

"Kato! It's not time for the shift change yet, and Kobe hasn't come to relieve you. Where are you going?!"

But Kato, whose face was scarred and looked extremely embarrassed, his skin turning blue and purple, didn't have time to explain before he ran away in a hurry.

The old Jonin, ignored by Kato, suddenly turned pale.

"This kid! Guarding the gates of Konoha is a matter of utmost importance, concerning the safety of the village!"

"How dare they abandon their duties as gatekeepers! I must report this to Lord Xiaochun!"
