Tsunade subconsciously reached out to catch Jiraiya.
Then she realized, why was she holding this stinky man?
However, looking at Jiraiya, who was barely breathing at the moment, Tsunade ultimately couldn't bring herself to throw him away.
"Naruto, I'll take Jiraiya to the inn for treatment first. Wait for Shizune to handle things here, then come over together."
Tsunade pointed to Shizune beside her, then glanced at the Sunglasses Girl waiting on the side, truly like master, like disciple, both with a flirtatious nature.
With a soft snort, she turned and left, carrying Jiraiya.
Unnoticed by Tsunade, Jiraiya, weak, powerless, and unable to move, couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and gave Naruto a thumbs up behind him.
This action was clearly seen by Naruto and Sakura behind him.
A knowing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Naruto turned his head to see Sakura looking at him in shock.
Sakura-ge pointed at Jiraiya, who was being carried away by Princess Tsunade, and widened her eyes, saying, "Was this also part of your plan, Naruto?"
First, he encouraged Jiraiya to confess, and if he succeeded, that would be great. If he failed, he could quickly transition to plan B. If all of this was within Naruto's calculations, then it would be too terrifying.
This made Sakura once again grateful that Naruto wasn't interested in her, otherwise, she didn't know if she could guarantee her unwavering loyalty to Sasuke.
"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile," Naruto said modestly.
At this moment, the girl with sunglasses approached.
She took off her sunglasses and said with a grin, "Hello, Naruto-kun, I'm Fujikaze Yukie. I've never been in a relationship before, you know. You did that kind of thing to me earlier, so now you have to take responsibility for it."
Earlier, she had pestered Sakura to find out Naruto's name and age.
Naruto was still a few months away from turning thirteen, which made him exactly three years younger than her.
Naruto turned his head, looked at the familiar face that was smiling sweetly after taking off her sunglasses, and was speechless.
"...".
Naruto swore, he really just randomly picked a young and beautiful girl who was closest to him on the street.
But who knew, such a coincidence could happen in this world.
Just by randomly picking, he could find Kazahana Koyuki, the target of the A-Rank Mission he had just rejected to escort. After going around in a circle, he was still involved, and he had completely delivered himself to her door.
"Is this the legendary 'no coincidence, no story'? Should I learn the Byakugan's ability to see through things later to prevent such blunders from happening again?" Naruto thought to himself, speechless.
Beside him, Sakura exclaimed in shock, "Wow, Big Star Fujikaze Yukie!!!"
This immediately attracted the attention of many people around, and many eyes turned towards them.
Recently, Princess Gale, starring Kazahana Koyuki, was being shown all over the Ninja World, and as a result, Kazahana Koyuki's popularity was extremely high. Even in this Seaside Town, many people recognized her.
"It's Princess Gale!"
"Quick, get her autograph, I didn't expect to meet her here."
"Princess Gale, I love you!"
Shouting and yelling, the people around surged over.
At this moment, Sakura covered her mouth in embarrassment, realizing she had done something stupid.
"Let's slip away."
The fans in this world are no different from those in another world.
With a thought, Naruto manipulated the airflow to refract the light around the three of them, entering a state of optical invisibility.
Then, with the airflow surrounding them, they soared into the sky.
The surrounding people were bewildered, not knowing what had happened, why three living people had suddenly disappeared, and Shizune, who had just finished negotiating the compensation, was also surprised.
How could everyone be gone in the blink of an eye?
On the other side, in a secluded and deserted alley, Naruto set down Sakura and Kazahana Koyuki.
Then, he took out his wallet, pulled out a thick stack of Ten Thousand Ryō Bills and handed it to Kazahana Koyuki: "Thank you, Miss Fujikaze Yukie, for cooperating with my performance. This is the appearance fee I promised you earlier."
Naruto had also explained before that he would offer a reward after the matter was over.
However, judging from Kazahana Koyuki's appearance, she clearly didn't want to take the reward and leave.
So Naruto decisively cut the Gordian knot, pointing out that it was just a performance.
For actors, some physical contact is inevitable during performances, which is also unavoidable.
Naruto's straightforward gesture of taking out money was also to explain that there was no other extra meaning in the previous kissing action.
If Naruto was really interested in her, he wouldn't have kissed her forehead, but directly on the lips.
Sakura, who was watching all this from the side, was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth, and exclaimed in shock: "It, it was a performance??? When did you guys discuss it? I thought you were really that amazing, Naruto?!!!"
Sakura-ge thought Naruto was really that amazing, and she was already silently calculating in her heart, waiting to go back and carry out the Wall Slam plan on Sasuke.
Now it seems that if she didn't know the truth and really did that, the result probably wouldn't be much better than Jiraiya-sama, right?
Fortunately, Naruto didn't intend to trick her, Sakura couldn't help but feel fortunate in her heart.
At this time, Kazahana Koyuki was completely unmoved, not even looking at the thick stack of bills Naruto handed over, and said with tears in her eyes: "Naruto-kun, is that how Naruto-kun sees me? Wuwuwu..."
As she spoke, two lines of tears slid down from the corners of Kazahana Koyuki's eyes.
Coupled with her pitiful expression at the moment, it couldn't help but make people feel pity for her.
Even someone as indifferent as Naruto couldn't help but soften his tone at this time: "Princess Koyuki, okay, stop acting. It makes me feel uncomfortable to see you like this. Helping you solve the pursuers, right? I'll help with this favor, just consider it as a reward for asking you to help with the performance."
As he spoke, Naruto's figure disappeared for a moment.
When he reappeared, he was already carrying two black-clothed muscle men who looked ill-intentioned.
After discovering that this Sunglasses Girl was Kazahana Koyuki, Naruto increased the precision and range of his Kagura Mind's Eye.
In this way, he naturally discovered these two people who had been monitoring her, and could probably guess the other party's current situation.
According to the normal timeline, Team 7 should have already drugged Kazahana Koyuki, and then, together with her manager, Santayu, who was actually a retainer, were heading towards the Land of Snow.
At this moment, Naruto wanted to go out and refused this A-Rank Mission.
Santayu was also stubborn and had to find Kakashi, so Kazahana Koyuki took the opportunity to slip away, and then unknowingly arrived in this Seaside Town.
Perhaps she exposed the key she was carrying along the way, thus being targeted by Fūka Dotō's subordinates.
Kazahana Koyuki also realized her danger, so she took the opportunity to approach Naruto and his group, who were wearing Konoha headbands, wanting to seek protection from them.
