[Naruto] The Night the Fox Doesn’t Cry

Gaara quickly descends and glares at Lee.

Lee also comes down and opens his mouth while glaring at Gaara.

“I’m so happy to be with you from the start!”

“…huh”

” Then I will avenge Naruto-san’s grudge”

“…”

“Then…the match…start!”

As soon as Hayate finished speaking, sand came out of Gaara’s vial and attacked Lee. Lee avoids the sand and quickly closes the distance with Gaara to punch, but the sand blocks it.

It took a few extra hits, but the result was the same. Sand attacks Lee again, forcing him to distance himself.

Then, Gai shouted.

“Lee! Release that! I’ll let you!”

“…! I…really! hahaha…”

Lee takes out the leggings he was wearing on his legs and throws them away with a happy expression.

Seeing that, Temari, Kakashi, and Sasuke think.

‘Heh, I can’t catch up with Gaara’s sand just because I reduced my weight’

‘Guy guy… That’s too much..’

‘That bastard… Wearing something like that..’

“Oh! It’s finally easier to move!”

coo-!

When Lee throws the gaiter, it falls to the ground with a loud sound.

At the same time, Lee disappears. And punches Gaara in the face.

“What?!”

“It’s fast…! I can’t follow it with my eyes!”

“Not yet”

Lee launches Gaara into the air at high speed and binds him with a bandage.

And it rotates rapidly and falls.

“Yeonhwa 1!!”

Koo Goong-!

Just when everyone thinks it’s Lee’s victory, Gaara turns to sand. What Lee attacked was the sand clone.

“No… that’s unbelievable.”

“Heh… as expected Gaara-kun”

After that, Lee opened the door with the technique of turning the eight gates and dealt with Gaara, but in the end he was unable to defeat Gaara.

And Lee’s left hand and foot, unable to move due to the recoil, are covered in sand…

“Sabak ark!!”

“Turn it off… aa!!!”

“…!!”

“That guy who pushed Gaara to that level was also amazing, but… in the end, the result is the same…”

A larger amount of sand approaches the stunned Lee.

At that time, Guy comes out and protects Lee by hitting the sand with his hand.

“..why… are you protecting it?”

“My..precious subordinate..!”

Gaara gets a headache from Gai’s words.

And then, as if he lost interest, he goes up to the second floor.

“Come on, call the emergency team…!”

Lee was immediately taken to the emergency room.

At that time, a Uinin talks to Gai.

“That child…the wound is too deep. It’s definitely a body that can’t continue to be a ninja anymore.”

“What?!”

Sasuke is surprised to hear that from above.

He tried to go down and see Lee, but Kakashi stopped him by grabbing Sasuke’s shoulder.

“Wait, even if you go now… it’s meaningless”

“Keugh… but…”

After that, there is a match between Sori Village Ninja and Choji, but the Sori Village Ninja wins, and Hayate opens his mouth to explain the finals.

“Congratulations for advancing to the finals…well…even though there is no one… I’ll start explaining. Cough Coke”

The Third Hokage comes forward and opens his mouth.

“Then… before explaining the finals… take a numbered ticket.”

The finalists will draw a numbered ticket one by one.

And show the match table.

“…Hyuuga.. yes..!”

“huh…”

Sasuke looks at Neji, but Neji ignores him.

And Sasuke is worried about one thing.

‘Naruto…with that guy… ‘

“Competition schedule…? That means the next match…”

“Yes. It’s a tournament-style match…and we’ll start in a month.”

“A month later?!”

“Now..Wait a minute! Speaking of tournaments, does it mean that becoming a Jeungnin is a Hinmyeong?!”

“No, that’s not the case. Through this match, the qualifications are tested and those who are judged to be capable are selected as middle nin… In other words, even if you lose in the first round, you can become a middle nin.”

“Then… several people could become Chunin..”

“Obviously, but… Conversely, keep in mind that there may be no one.”

Everyone starts to get nervous at Hokage’s words.

The Hokage clears his throat and opens his mouth.

“In the meantime, while recovering your physical strength, I hope you develop measures or abilities for the match. Then disband!”

As soon as Sasuke finishes explaining, he runs to Kakashi and talks to him.

“…is he… okay?”

“Um… well, don’t worry… Rather, Sasuke, come to the place I told you about tomorrow.”

“…?”

“It’s training. There’s a technique I want to teach you.”

“…All right”

Everyone disperses, and the Hokage also returns to the Hokage room to listen to the report of the dark side.

“According to Kakashi-san’s report, he approached Naruto once. And Sori Village… Orochimaru is plotting something…”

“Hmm…”

Just then, the door to the Hokage room opens and a white-haired man enters.

“…Did you come? You came back at just the right time..”

“Every…you?!”

“It’s been a while. Master… more than that… what did you mean by that sound?”

“Sit down for now, Jiraiya. We have a lot to talk about.”

” What?! Naruto has a master?!”

“Don’t shout, that’s why I called you, Jiraiya.”

“…Are we finally able to see that child?”

“Yes, you are the child’s godfather, so please take care of me”

“Okay. Then right away…”

“Don’t rush! The child is resting at the hospital now, so come later.”

“Hospital?! Is it because of the owner?! Or seriously injured?!”

“I’m currently taking the intermediate ninja selection test.

It’s probably because of the owner, but it’s because of the accumulated fatigue… It’s Jiraiya! Are you listening to me!”

Jiraiya hears Haruzen’s words and rushes to the hospital.

And time goes by…

Looking at Naruto lying in the hospital room, he sighs.

“…wasn’t it too thin…”

“Are you Jiraiya-sama?”

“…Kakashi-kun, I heard that you are the ninja in charge of this child.”

Jiraiya opens his mouth while patting Naruto’s head.

“…How have you been?”

Kakashi immediately noticed that the question was asking about Naruto, not himself, and sighed before opening his mouth.

“It’s okay… you can’t say that. It’s basic to always be treated as a monster, and you have to eat properly…”

“Stop… that’s it”

“…I’m sorry, Jiraiya-sama.”

Jiraiya muttered softly while looking at Naruto.

“From now on… this old lady will protect you…”

A few days later, Jiraiya, who heard the news that Naruto would be discharged from the hospital… While peeping at him, he ran straight to the hospital.

But Naruto wasn’t already in the hospital. Jiraiya immediately leaves the hospital and starts running to Niruto’s house, which Haruzen told her about.

“Wait, Naruto! Now this old woman is leaving!”

Naruto is lying at home now.

Unlike usual, I can’t hear Kurama’s voice, so I’m extremely depressed.

‘Kurama… ‘

Ding Dong-

A strange sound echoes in Naruto’s house.

It sounds like a doorbell, but it never rang except when the 3rd generation came. Naruto gets up slowly and opens the door.

Naruto naturally thought he was the 3rd Hokage, but the person waiting outside the door was a big frog? It was a gray-haired old man sitting on a toad and taking a strange pose.

“…who?”

“I asked well! This body is the spirit of the Toads of the Toad Mountain! Commonly known as the Toads of the Toad…”

Kwoon- Clap-

Naruto closed the door without even listening to Jiraiya’s words. and lock the door

“Kurama… I told you to ignore strange people..’

He remembered his promise to Kurama and immediately put it into practice.

Naruto came home and tried to lie down again, but…

The grandfather was knocking at the window.

“Howdy..”

Chuck- Chuck-

Naruto immediately locks the window and draws the curtains.

‘person who is abnormal… persistent… ‘

A few minutes ago, Jiraiya was in deep agony in front of Naruto’s door.

The reason is simple. It was because I wanted to give Naruto a cool and good first impression.

“Okay! Summoning!”

Summons a toad and climbs on it. Then you ring the doorbell and put yourself in a nice (for you think you’re cool) pose. When the door opens, a cute little girl with golden hair comes out.

‘You’re really cute.. You’ll become a beauty later..!’

Jiraiya hides his happy feelings, but Naruto tilts his head and opens his mouth.

“…who?”
