Naruto: The Prince of Lust

Chapter 239

"Will you knock it off with the Ero-sennin-" Jiraiya tries to say as Naruto cuts in, "I'm a lot stronger than I look."

"I'll be the judge of that," the elder sage is happy to remark. "Since you've gathered all this intel, I guess it only makes sense I teach you Kuchiyose, but, forget about Myōboku for now. I'll give you to the end of the week to summon anything stronger than a tadpole. If you can't do that, you tell me everything."

After all the insight and chakra-control training Naru-nii's given him, Naruto knows in his mind, body, and chakra that it takes about half-a-tail of chakra to summon the Toad Boss, so Naruto chimes back, "when I summon Gamabunta on the third try, you're going to give me and Karin every present you've missed out on."

Quirking his white brow in confusion, Jiraiya asks, "Karin? Who the hell is Karin?"

"Uzumaki Karin, my cousin," Naruto answers. "She did the math—she's good at that stuff—and was nice enough to skip the first five years since we'd be too young. So, let's see... ages six to sixteen, thirteen holidays and two birthdays per year, times ten years, at an average of about twenty-seven hundred ryō per present... you owe us four hundred and eighty-six thousand ryō in missed gifts."

Raising his long arms in a huge X over his head, Jiraiya yells, "get out of here! Even if you were foolish enough to think I owed you, why would you ever think I owe her anything?"

One of Naruto's best fantasies has always been getting a present on his birthday and giving others a present on theirs. Simple though it may be, he's never had that. Casually answering as if it's the most obvious thing in the world, Naruto returns, "because we're family and we love each other and we give the people we love presents." Aside from grumbling, Jiraiya remained quiet against that logic, to which Naruto adds, "plus, you're part of our clan."

Quirking his brow, Jiraiya returns, "since when did I agree to that?" Naruto simply smiles as if it was a foregone conclusion. Shaking his head, Jiraiya grumbles, "ugh, you turned out to be such a cheeky brat. Fine."

"Sweet," Naruto hollers before asking, "where's the contract? Let me sign it?"

"Really," Naruto asks, eyes growing large as he turns to the Sand siblings in genuine surprise. Temari has long felt Uzumaki-kun is honest to a fault. It seems impossible for him to hide his emotions in sudden situations and she truly believes he hadn't known of their lineage. "Sweet, so, Gaara's the son of a Kage?"

It was an odd and obvious question he asks in amazed wonderment, continually confirming to Temari how dim the blond is as Kankurō points out, "that's what being the children of Kazekage means."

"Yeah, I get that. I just thought it was cool," Naruto lips with a melancholy smirk. For some reason, Temari felt as if the thoughtful blond was withholding a tidbit of intel. She's always been good at reading people Uzumaki-kun is nothing exceptional. The blond continues to ask, "if Gaara's not showing up, what's going on? I was in the middle of meeting Ero-sennin."

As a woman, Temari is repulsed by Uzumaki for openly meeting with a pervert. It makes her worry about what she'll have to do with him in the latter part of this scheme. Hiruzen laughs softly with a nodding head and as an observer, Kankurō is simply confused. Without knowing who this pervy sage is, Temari voices, "I didn't mean to interrupt your meeting."

"I'm sure you'll see him again," Hiruzen conveys to the boy. "I called you here for an important matter. That is to say, Temari-san has requested your attendance in this diplomatic meeting. She's invited her brother, Kankurō-kun, and Jōnin-sensei, Baki-san, to be her witnesses. It's also why Mitokado Himura and Utatane Koharu from Konoha's Council are here as well."
