I do not own Naruto, obviously. Sorry, it took so long to post this but it is such a pain to proofread and edit these chapters.

Naruto ran along the back of the twenty-foot carp as it jumped through the air. It swiped its tail to knock off the blonde-haired nuisance. Naruto flipped off the end of the tail using it to propel himself further across the river. Style points danced in his vision as he flew.

He covered a quarter of the river in that one leap before coming down to a lily pad. He brushed it with the tips of his toes to push himself back in the air. He had graduated from logs to lily pads two months ago and now that's all Naruto was allowed to touch on the river. His senses screamed at him causing Naruto to twist in the air and kick off the nose of the attacking fish. He had learned that fighting the fish was a waste of time. Of course, he could defeat them easily that was not up for debate. But fighting the fish was not the point, even worse, fighting them would kill all his momentum. The point of the exercise is to get across the river. So with that in mind every time he engaged a fish he used it to move further along. He considered them flying logs with a mouth or later on flying lily pads with a mouth.

Naruto flipped off another lily pad before coming to a rest on the shore in front of Gamaken. He slid the four-foot toad statue off his back. "Good," Gamaken said with a smirk. "Even if you are supposed to dodge the fish not use them. Anyway, when you return you will move up to the next size of Toad Statue."

"Looking good there gaki. It took me years to reach that level on the river. It's just too bad you will never look as good as me while doing it."

"Indeed Naruto-chan, you have come far," Ma spoke from Ero-Sennin's shoulder as she smacked him in the back of the head. "Your wind release has advanced past waterfall cutting and your fire release is just as far along. Pa told me that your water release is coming along nicely even if it is not at the same rate as the others. I must say that it is sad that Jiraiya-chan has slacked on teaching you earth release. Gamaken, what do you say of Naruto-chan's progress?"

"There is nothing left for me to teach him. When he returns he will go through my Iron Toad training."

Jiraiya coughed and squeaked out a "what?"

"Yes unlike you I believe he will be able to complete it."

"Is this pick on the Jiraiya day?"

"We are all disappointed that you did not help teach your student," the sword-wielding Gamahiro answered.

Jiraiya crossed his arms. "I needed to focus on completing my sage training. Besides he has plenty of teachers."

"Hard-headed buffoon," Ma grumbled. "That is not the point Jiraiya-chan. You are the boy's Sensei. If Pa and I could make time for him so could you. I know you are excited about this gamer ability but that does not mean you can be selfish. He needs a proper teacher to guide him because at the end of the day we are toads, not humans."

"Ano, I can hear you. I am right here." Naruto said as he scratched the back of his head. This sounded like an old argument. But, it was true Naruto had not seen Ero-Sennin since the night they arrived on Mount Myoboku. But it was not like he blamed his Sensei for it. Naruto was used to being left alone to do whatever he wanted. So having nights to himself after training was nothing unusual.

"Of course you are Naruto-chan. Now Hiro-chan you had something else to add."

"Yes, Naruto-san's mastery of Toad Kenjutsu, Toad Slide and Rush is as far as I can take him. Now all that is needed is the experience."

"I see," Ma said as she hopped onto Naruto's shoulder and ruffled his blonde locks. "I am proud of you Naruto-chan. Riki-chan told me you are good at breaking Genjutsu at a high Chunin level."

Naruto shuddered at the memory of Gamariki's Genjutsu. He will never be able to rid that image of Gamariki's head on Sakura-chan's body. But it only got worse when Gamariki Sakura started to kiss Gamariki Sasuke. It was no wonder that he could recognize and break Genjutsu fast.

"And your chakra control is coming along nicely despite the amount of chakra you possess. Even more so after she asked you put all the Attribute Points you had gained into Intellect and Wisdom. I will never understand how that works but it is a powerful tool to have."

Naruto wanted to explain that the Gamer was not a tool. It is a way of life. But instead, he said, "Thanks Ma and I promise the next time we are in a large town I will visit their library. After I put those points in it was like a haze was lifted from my mind. It made me realize just how bad having a chakra imbalance is. But don't worry I am still Uzumaki Naruto future Hokage, dattebayo!"

The Toad Sage rolled his eyes. "Good, gaki you had me worried there for a second. Anyway, let's get going. It will take us some time to get to the Land of Hot Springs and there is somewhere I want to take you." Jiraiya put his hand on his student's shoulder and let Ma send them back to the Land of Tea.

The two Shinobi kicked off the ground and into the trees. "Let's test your speed Gaki. I want to get there by evening so drop the weight and resistance seals."

Naruto pushed a bit of chakra into his bracers to disable the seals. It had been weeks since he last dropped them. The sudden loss in resistance almost had him smashing through a tree. He reached for the nearest branch and used it to twist himself back to following Ero-Sennin.

Level 3 Weight Seal Disabled

Level 3 Resistance Seal Disabled

"Good thing I had you drop them. You need to do that at least a day a week so your muscles can rest and recover. So," Jiraiya glanced over at his student with an uncertain look. "Are you upset with me like Ma?"

"Nah, like you said I had plenty of teachers and I am used to being alone. Besides we have time to train together before we go back to Mount Myoboku."

Jiraiya did not like the twist he felt in his gut at Naruto's answer. No child should be used to being alone. Jiraiya swore to himself he would be a better godfather from now on. The only problem was that he was used to being alone too. It has been at least a decade since he had a companion to travel with. It hurt to admit that as soon as they reached the Toads he was happy to shove Naruto off on them so he could master his Earth release and Sage Mode. He sunk into a level of training he had not done since he was thirty. Jiraiya's strength and agility had gone up. He also reached a level of Earth release that his Earth Jutsu was now practically sealless. The Gamer system was flat out amazing everything just came easier to him. He had not mastered Sage Mode but he was on the cusp of it. While he still needed Ma and Pa he looked totally human unlike before where he was a toad-like human.

Ma had told him off a few times about neglecting Naruto's training. He brushed it off it never clicked in his mind just how much he had missed. Until Pa told him what Naruto had accomplished in those three months. The boy is a solid high Chunin despite being only level 32 and his Master, Jiraiya of the Sannin, had absolutely nothing to do with it. Naruto had crossed that raging river with grace and confidence that even Kakashi would have difficulty keeping up with. Naruto had learned Toad techniques that Jiraiya had never even heard of. Even now Naruto was keeping up with him without even breaking a sweat. Sure Jiraiya was not going at his top speed but he was at least moving Jonin speeds. There was no doubt that the boy should get a vest, hell Naruto should have been promoted before we left the village. That was it, Jiraiya made his decision. He was going to allow the Gaki to wear Kushina-chan's vest as soon as this mission is complete regardless of the outcome. If Tsunade-hime did not like it that was too bad.

"Oi, Ero-Sennin you alright? You've been awfully quiet."

"Yeah, Gaki I am fine just thinking." Jiraiya sniffed, "let's settle down for the evening."

"But I thought you wanted to get into Land of Hot Springs first?"

"We are close enough. We're just a few miles from the border." Ero-Sennin unsealed his bedroll from his scroll.

Naruto did the same. "It's a nice night to sleep beneath the stars and the breeze feels good." This was one of the things Naruto noticed after he dumped his points into INT and WIS. It was much easier for him to notice those little things perhaps that's why he always liked gardening. It slowed him done and allowed him to concentrate on the moment. Naruto wondered just how many of those little things he missed growing up because of his condition.

"That it is Gaki. One thing about the Land of Hot Springs. It doesn't always smell the nicest too much brimstone in the air some nights and tonight is one of those nights. So I figured we can stop here to enjoy the stars and clean air."

A small Toad popped into existence interrupting their musings. "Message for Jiraiya-sama."

"Sure hand it over," Ero-Sennin said to the Toad. Its tongue shot out unraveling to drop the scroll it had hidden in its belly on to Jiraiya's lap. "Thanks," he said with a grimace as he wiped the saliva from his clothes and the document. The bowed in return and vanished back to their mountain.

"Who is it from?" Naruto asked in excitement.

"Gimme a second to read it gaki. I haven't even opened it yet for Kami's sake." The old man unrolled the scroll and read through it while attempting to stop Naruto from reading it from over his shoulder. "Sheesh, Gaki did you ever think there might be sensitive stuff in here that I don't want you to read?"

"Yeah yeah," Naruto said in a huff. "So what does it say?"

"The Village is doing well. News of your friend's defection has filtered down to even the civilians. The general opinion is that he must be the same as his brother. But I do have some good news your angry pink-haired girlfriend is now Tsunade-hime's apprentice. Well, at least its good news until that first time she punches you." Jiraiya paused as he noticed Naruto's pensive expression. "What's wrong? I thought you would be happy for her or is it you don't want the competition? Maybe you're afraid she is going to get the Hokage's hat before you?"

"What? No, that's not it. I am happy she is going to get stronger but what am I going to do about Sasuke? I promised her that I would bring him back."

"I am not going to lie to you the likelihood of you bringing him back as a friend is very slim. You need to be okay with bringing him back as a prisoner. But until then you need to forget about him because if you use him as your goal you are only going to limit yourself. You would be setting the bar to low."

"Yeah, maybe," Naruto grumbled as he looked down and ground the bottom of his sandal into the dirt. "But I promised Sakura-chan. And I thought if I brought him back she might like me. How can I get her to like me Sensei?"

Jiraiya rubbed his hand down his face. This was not something he wanted to talk about. Ever. "If I knew that Gaki I would be with the love of my life right now. But I have never been good at love, I have always been a sprinter, not a marathon runner when it comes to that. Now your dad, he would be able to give you advice. He found his one and somehow Kushina fell in love with him despite thinking he was a nancy at first."

Naruto cracked a smile at that. "Really?"

"Yeah, your mom thought he was a big wuss and a pretty boy."

Naruto's laugh made Jiraiya think he was doing something right. "So how did he make her like him?"

"Ugh, Gaki you can't make anyone like you or love you. They just do or they don't. There is just something in you they find interesting. And believe me you are an interesting kid and if she can't see it then it's her loss. You just need to focus on improving yourself, not for her, not for me and not for the village. You need to improve yourself for yourself." Jiraiya poked Naruto in the chest.

"Besides, you both are only thirteen what does she or you know about what you like in a partner? You're both children despite wearing that headband. Maybe in three years, you will find that you still love her and she loves you in return. If that's the case, then great. Or maybe you have moved on and she never returned your feeling, then that's fine too. The main point is that you're both young. Things and people you like will change as you grow and that is completely normal."

Jiraiya could tell Naruto did not like his answer as the boy kept staring at his feet. "Well I was gonna show you one of my personal jutsu's since you are my apprentice. But if you're just going to mope around I am gonna just go to sleep."

"Really? Let's do this dattebayo!" Naruto dashed over to his master at a speed that Jiraiya thought was close to a body flicker.

The Toad Sage was pleased that even after Naruto came so far and raised his stats he was still easily distracted with a new shiny jutsu. "That was the plan Gaki."

"Can I also have one of those Taijutsu scrolls you took from me?"

Ero-Sennin narrowed his eyes. "What's wrong with Toad Fu?"

"Nothing," Naruto answered quickly. "It's just my clones are just not durable enough for it so I thought there might be a better Taijutsu for them."

Ero-Sennin rocked back on his heels in amazement that Naruto had noticed that. He searched through his inventory to see if he had something that would work. "Sorry, Naruto. They are all from Iwa and their Taijutsu is all about taking hits. But don't worry I am sure we will find you a supplemental Taijutsu."

"Aww man. Oh well, so what do you got for me?" Naruto asked as he rubbed his hands together in anticipation.

"I call it the Wild Lion's Mane Jutsu." Jiraiya then spent the rest of the evening explaining and showcasing the wonders of his crazy hair techniques.

When Naruto woke up in the morning his hair was still as wild as before. But now, it was a few inches longer so what did not stick up in the air came down to his chin. It had reminded Jiraiya of his last student, Minato, by the time the boy was done learning the jutsu. It did not take long for Naruto to pick up the basics of all the hair techniques. All he needed was experience using them.

"I am ready Ero-Sennin. Where are we going?"

"Be patient Gaki. It's on the other side of the border. I know just the thing to cheer you up and make you forget that pink-haired girlie." True to his word they reached their destination shortly after crossing the border into Land of Hot Springs.

Naruto looked at his master with dead eyes. He should have known what would have gotten Ero-Sennin this excited to rush here.

"Happy Birthday Naruto. You are fourteen now. It's time to become a man."

"Wha," was all the bewildered blonde managed to get out before he was shoved through the door. It slammed shut and locked behind him.

Naruto looked around nervously in the darkroom. Until he locked eyes with a blonde-haired beauty as she glided across the tatami towards him. "Welcome to the Golden Pagoda, young master." She purred as got close enough to Naruto to brush her hand over his chest.

"No need to be nervous sweetheart," another woman he had not noticed said breathily into his ear. "Jiraiya-sama paid for us to play all day and night. The whole Pagoda is closed just," she kissed his neck. "For," she kissed the side of his chin. "You," she ended with a kiss on the edge of Naruto's lips. She wrapped her arms around his wedging it in between her breast. She nibbled on his ear and whispered, "come with me honey I want your first."

She pulled a dazed Naruto towards the stairs. He finally got a good look at her. She wore her auburn hair in a loose bun with red-rimmed glasses over her brown doe eyes. She was wearing a pink dress that would not look misplaced on a librarian or a school teacher. Well, that was if it had gone past her thighs and the top of her pink nipples were not peeking out. She was at least in her early twenties. There was also a look of excitement on her face that made Naruto have to readjust his pants.

After she pulled Naruto into her room she closed the door behind her. The other girls of the Golden Pagoda gathered outside to listen in. "Why does Fujiko get him first? He is such a cutie I want some time with him too."

"Quit bitching Ai it was Fujiko's turn to have dibs on a hottie. His clothes are loose but you can just tell by the way he moves he is rocking a hot bod. And supposedly he's an Uzumaki. We've all heard rumors of their legendary stamina so you should get your turn too."

"Be quiet both of you. I am trying to hear them," the girl with long purple hair knelt down and pressed her ear to the door.

"Yes Saeko," they both responded in fear of the Saeko's sword skills.

"So Naruto tell me about yourself? It will help you relax." Fujiko's voice purred through the door. If there was one thing Saeko could be jealous of it was the way that Fujiko could move and sound like pure sex. She could almost see how Fujiko has the boy sitting cornered on the bed. She must have one foot on the bed showcasing her pink stockings. It gave Naruto a solid view of her white thong under that skimpy pink dress. She uses to it complete her sexy secretary look. Fujiko was the perfect girl to break down Naruto nerves. She was the right mix of comforting and assertive.

Saeko was so lost in her imagination she never heard Naruto's response. Fujiko's near shout brought her back. "Y-you can make how many shadow clones?"

"Hundreds. Is there something wrong with that?"

"N-no, of course not." You could practically hear Fujiko's lecherous grin through the door. Saeko wiped the blood from her nose and continued to listen in. "Now why don't you just lay down and let Fujiko serve you?"

"Well, that's that," Saeko said as she stood. "I am sure Fujiko will make quick work of him. You know she had always had a thing for taking first times. So I am sure our times will come soon."

As they were about to retreat they heard Fujiko one last time. "Just lift up and I will pull them down. Don't be nervous baby I have seen all kinds of- Sweet Kami where were you hiding this thing? It's no wonder your clothes are so loose." After a moment of silence, there was a thud of clothing hitting floor. "Sorry honey bear I had wanted to ease you into this but now I just want to get this rodeo started and ride this thing."

Fujiko was insatiable. But eventually, other girls started to filter into her room. Then more girls until they all had to move to a larger room. Naruto had no problem keeping up with them the Gamer system made sure of that. He had also gained a whole host of skills that kept increasing his sexual prowess. Their escapades last through the day and night. Now girls were scattered around the room most of them asleep or too sore to move. Naruto had his head resting on Saeko's lap. She was running her hand through his blonde locks. While he was enjoying the feeling of her breast resting against the side of his face. "I can't believe you're still hard as a rock. And you are so close to getting a perfect score but Madame Yoruichi doesn't do boys."

"Ano, maybe I should go for the perfect score." Naruto realized early on that he was doomed to be a pervert. So as long as Ero-Sennin was not around he would embrace it. "I can change into a girl."

"We can all henge Naruto you know that's just an illusion."

"Watch." Naruto never left Saeko's lap as he was enveloped in a small amount of smoke. When he was revealed he was in what he named his Naruko form. Naruko shamelessly squeezed her own breast. "See Saeko-chan its real."

Saeko looked down at Naruko stunned. She immediately decided to test this transformation. She slid her fingers gently along Naruko's sex. Naruko squirmed as the moisture pooled between her legs. "You're real. It's too bad it's almost time for you to go." Saeko said as she licked the glistening wetness from her fingers.

"Indeed." Everyone froze in the room at the voice. "I need a runner to inform Jiraiya that Naruto will be staying with us for another few nights. It looks like there are some other aspects he or she needs to be trained in."

"Yes, Madame Yoruichi," Ai responded as she rushed out of the room bare in all her glory.

This was the first time Naruko had seen the mocha-skinned goddess. She was made even more beautiful by the tight orange and black Shinobi gear she was wearing. There were several things Naruko wanted to ask her so she asked the most important first. "Those clothes are just perfect where did you get them? Wait. No, I meant to ask about training. What kind of training?"

Madame Yoruichi smiled in a way that made Naruko rub her legs together. "Don't worry I will get you some. As for training, there is seduction and poisons. There are also some more subtle applications of the henge you need to know as a Kunoichi even if you are a special case. But we can get to that later." Yoruichi said as she pulled off her scarf then tossed her top off to the side. "There are some more important things that I want to explore right now." She stepped out of her black Shinobi pants and thong. Naruko simultaneously gulped and shivered with anticipation.

It was three days later and Naruto was once again Naruto. He had just finished bathing and getting suited up. He marveled at the skills he gained and quests he completed over the last four days.

Naruto finally stood from his bed and stretched. He cast a glance back at the lightly snoring forms of Saeko and Fujiko. A slight smile came to his lips as he leaned over to run his hand through Saeko's long violet hair.

"Muu, is it time for you to go?" Saeko said as her eyes fluttered open.

"Yes, I just wanted to say goodbye to both of you."

Saeko snatched his hand from her hair. "You will return sometime, right?"

"I promise and-"

"You never break your promises," Saeko said interrupting Naruto.

"You got it," Naruto responded as Saeko drew him in for a kiss.

"You lovebirds need to shut it," Fujiko growled as she glared with one open eye. "And how are you even able to walk?"

It was true before he went to sleep everything from the stomach down felt like it had been grounded down to a fine paste. But thanks to the Kyuubi and the Gamer he was a hundred percent by the time he woke up. "Well, you know that Uzumaki stamina, dattebayo. Anyway," Naruto replied as he pulled the blanket up to cover Fujiko. "Get some sleep Fuji-chan. You played too hard."

She mumbled something unintelligible as he kissed her forehead and left the room. He met Yoruichi at the bottom of the stairs. "Hi, Yoruichi-chan."

"That's it then," Madame Yoruichi huffed. "You are leaving and all my girls are too worn out to work for a few days."

"Sorry about that," Naruto answered as he scratched his cheek.

She surprised Naruto with a kiss. "Don't be and I guess my girls do need a vacation. Just remember to come back."

"I will I promise, Yoruichi-chan."

"Good then get out of here, idiot."

"Love you too." Naruto laughed. He jumped through the door before her punch could land leaving a blushing Madame behind.

He met up with Ero-Sennin at the edge of town. Naruto could practically feel the jealousy rolling off his teacher in waves. "What?" Naruto questioned in confusion.

"I am glad you had fun while I worked." The sarcasm from Ero-Sennin was not missed by Naruto. "Hell, the whole village could hear how much fun you were having."

"Hey, it was your idea remember. 'Gaki, it's time for you to become a man," Naruto mimicked Jiraiya with an over the top impression.

"Yeah, but you were there for four freaking days. I am supposed to be the smug ladies' man you little prick," the Toad Sage grumbled. "Whatever let's get going we still have a week until the Auction and there are a few things I want you to learn. Did you ever crack open those Uzumaki Fuinjutsu books your mother left?"

Naruto ran down the road next to Jiraiya. There were not nearly enough trees to travel that way. "Yes, Sensei." Naruto figured he would throw Ero-Sennin a bone to hopefully get him over his jealousy. "I studied them at night to help me ignore Ma's stew. I can do most basic seals. Like sealing scrolls, explosive tags, a three-pointed barrier, and some other basic seals."

"Three pointed barriers? Never heard of it."

"You probably wouldn't have. It's mainly a learning step for Uzumaki Fuinjutsu. It forms a weak shield to block Genin level attacks. It works for physical and ninjutsu attacks. The pinnacle of this fuinjutsu is the Seven Rings of Sakura. It is seven layers of five connected three pointed barriers. It is said to look like a giant flower with the power to stop a bijuu level attack in its tracks."

"T-that sounds impressive even at its lowest level. Do you think you can teach it to me?"

"Of course, sensei," Naruto replied in relief. He did not want the first teacher that actually seem to care about him mad at him.

"Good, good. I am glad you started your fuinjutsu training. I have a personal Fuinjutsu I want to show you. It should help with your scroll eating problem. You may not know this but all foreign scrolls are to be sent to Konoha's Intelligence Department. Then it is determined if they can be added to the village's Jutsu library."

"That's awesome, dattebayo. I spent most of my time working on the Uzumaki Chakra Ink Method."

"Chakra Ink?" Jiraiya questioned as he stumbled in surprise at something he'd never heard of before.

"Yeah, you know like when Orochi-teme projected that Five Elements Seal he put on me without a tag. It's like that but more advanced. I am not that good at it but I can project it to my fingertips. But the book mentions some other training method but I don't know what it is.""

Jiraiya swore as he was surprised by his student once again. Seal projection is super advanced. It can only be done when a person has a very intimate knowledge of that particular seal. Orochimaru knows that seal like the back of his hand because it is a part of his cursed seal. "That's great Gaki. Maybe you can show me how far along you are with it after we set up camp for the night," Jiraiya said as if it was not important. He must show no weakness in front of his student.

They reached the outskirts of Odaiba Village by nightfall. Odaiba Village was not much to look at. Hell, Jiraiya was surprised it even had a small-time gambling den. Let alone some underground criminal casino. The two Shinobi decided they did not want to draw the attention of the village. They backtracked a few miles and made camp a good distance from the road.

Naruto finished setting up the tents and fire. Tonight they were just reheating some of the meals that the girls of the Golden Pagoda had given to Naruto as a present. The two toad summoners were putting off Ma's stew until they absolutely had to eat it.

"So Sensei what was the seal you wanted to show me?" Naruto asked with excitement as he watched his master eat his noodles with a large stupid grin. Whatever jealousy there had been between them was completely gone.

"Wha?" The white-haired Shinobi answered with noodles dangling from his mouth. "Oh, the seal. Yes, it is one of my own creation. It is my publication seal. It is how I spread my wonderful novels. You see it was difficult for me to get a publisher after my first book, The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi. It was such a flop that they would not even touch my beautiful Icha Icha so I had to do it myself."

Ero-Sennin hopped over to his apprentice and pulled a medium-sized sealing paper from the interior of his kimono. "Here you are Gaki. Tell me what you think of it."

As soon as Naruto touched the seal it turned into a golden mist absorbed into him.

Publication Seal Learned

Publication Seal Difficulty - 35/100 Apprentice

The information filtered through Naruto's mind. He could see how it allow his sensei to be his own publicist since he could pump out hundreds possibly thousands of books a day with this seal. But that was not all it would allow him to do since he wanted to master the Uzumaki Chakra Ink Method. "This seal is awesome dattebayo!"

"Here try it on this scroll." Jiraiya pulled an Earth Release scroll and a blank scroll from his Inventory.

Naruto placed his hand over both scrolls an invoked the seal he just learned.

Publication Seal Activated.

Golden chakra poured from Naruto's hand forming characters that ran over the two scrolls. Once they set the characters glowed brighter for less than a second.

The glow faded leaving two identical scrolls. "Whoa Gaki you learned how to do that in just three months?"

"Yep but as I said I am only a beginner with Chakra Ink if this Jutsu had been more complex than a C-Rank it would have failed. Now check this out." Naruto pulled a blank scroll from his Inventory.

Publication Seal Activated.

After the glow faded he tossed the scroll to Ero-Sennin. "Feed some chakra to it to open it."

Jiraiya did as told and unraveled the scroll. "This is that Three-Pointed Barrier you told me about. How?"

"Your Publication Seal is even more genius than you realized. If I use Chakra Ink I can print my own knowledge down instantly. And I was able to add a security seal since it is an Uzumaki Family Jutsu. It is now tied to your Chakra so only you can open it and read it. I would have created one for Chakra Ink but it's too complex."

A small pile of scrolls dropped in front of Naruto. "Copy and learn those Jutsu if you can. It will most likely be only you going into that Auction since I bet they will have that Chakra Suppression Seal. So my henge won't hold and I am too recognizable. Over the next couple of days, we will figure out a plan for this thing. Also, you said the Uzumaki scrolls mentioned some other training method. Have you tried out that mask of yours yet? Cause they loved their masks. Anyway goodnight, I am going to go study this barrier."

Naruto pulled out the mask he had all but forgotten about as Ero-Sennin left for his tent. The mask was almost like an ANBU mask. Except that instead of being designed after an animal it was designed after an oni. Outside of the design markings, it had two horn coming off the top and a red and black yin/yang symbol on its forehead.

Mask of the Sage

Uzumaki Locked Item

Naruto placed the mask over his face and it locked into place. "Ow," Naruto winced as the mask drew blood. He tried to pull it off but the mask would not budge. If he could see himself he would see Fuinjutsu characters covering his entire body. The characters aligned themselves with his three and sixty-one tenketsu points. Naruto's body slowly began to warm until he felt very hot but not yet uncomfortable. The seals went to work by widening and making his tenketsu more flexible. The heat slowly subsided but his back was unbearably itchy.

Not one to ignore an itch that needed to be scratched. Naruto reached back, pushed under his mother's sword and went to town. The relief was instantaneous and glorious until something cut his index finger. It was when he pulled his hand back to suck on his cut finger he noticed the text in his vision.

Description: While the Uzumaki Bloodline Adamantine Sealing Chains can be unlocked without the mask. They will not be able to use the full Nine Chains or Eleven Chains with Set Unlock. They will also not be able to master their chains. This mask contains a Fuinjutsu that allow you to learn how to use the chains naturally. Full mastery of the chains will allow the user to fill them with Elemental or Nature Chakra. You will also find that combining the Uzumaki Chakra Ink Method with the chains feels natural.

Naruto pulled the mask from his face. The chakra chain that had emerged from his back returned to his coils. He still had a basic understanding of how to form it but it would be difficult. Wearing the mask skipped the forming step. Since it pulled the Chakra needed together for him but still left him with the knowledge of how to do it himself. He was excited about having his Family's Bloodline. Though he could not help but sigh at the fact that it was another thing in the long list of things he needed to train. He placed the mask back on his face. The night was still young and he did not feel like sleeping. Naruto was starting to miss his garden he really needed a hobby outside of training.

According to the information he got from the Honey Bear Saloon. The auction was being held at the village head's mansion. The home itself stood out like a bowl of udon in a ramen shop. It was a massive home that dwarfed the next largest building. It made it all too obvious that the money the Village Head had was not on the up and up.

Naruto had employed a Henge that made him look like a rather average civilian. He had nondescript brown hair and eyes, flabby arms and a doughy center. Jiraiya had been right about the Chakra Suppression Seals. They had hit as soon as you set foot on the property. Luckily, his Henge worked since it did not need Chakra to always maintain it.

"Master Shinji, what is your play?" The dealer spoke pulling Naruto out of his daydreams.

"Call." He followed what his instincts and luck we're telling him to do. He had made it through the first round and learned to follow his instincts. If he did he would always win and if he lost it was because someone was becoming suspicious of him. The game came back around to him and he eked out a victory with a three-of-kind, queens.

Naruto kept his eyes peeled around the room for anyone suspicious. Since they were mainly here to figure out what the Syndicate was all about. The croupier was dealing again. Naruto was bored out of his mind. He was a man of action. He wished he could have sent a clone but the stupid suppression seal would have destroyed it.

He won another hand without ever looking at his cards. He ignored the complaints from the others at the table. His eyes locked onto the two Shinobi that just came through the hidden doorway. They were dressed in black robes with red clouds. Akatsuki. It was a man with creepy green eyes and a woman with blue hair.

Konan Akatsuki Level ?

Kakuzu Akatsuki Level ?

They did not hang around as they made their way to the elevator. The Auction was being held at the conclusion of this tournament. Three floors down in the basement.

Finally, the second round of poker finished. Naruto stood from his chair and collected the twenty coins he had earned so far. There was one more round to go after a ten-minute break. "It's been a pleasure guys. Have a good evening."

"Fuck off." Someone answered back but did not have time for losers there was a mission to accomplish. Naruto made his way to an open window and with a fluid movement too fast for anyone to see. He tossed a seal paper out into the open air. Once the seal passed the property line it flared to life folding itself into the shape of a bird. It soared into the night's sky to deliver a message to Ero-Sennin. In it was hastily scribbled a description of the Akatsuki members.

The last round of poker would begin at any moment so he rushed back to take his seat. Naruto wanted to withdraw but his luck was telling him to stay and finish the tournament. The winnings would be important for some reason.

A servant brought drinks to the gamblers at the table as the croupier began to shuffle the deck. It was not strange as they brought drinks out for every round. What was strange was that the servant looked like a child a little younger than himself. That did not add up with the title that hovered over the child.

? ? Level ?

The "servant" caught Naruto staring at him. "Your drink Master Shinji," the boy said as he offered Naruto some alcoholic drink. It was a drink he had seen a few at the table ordered from time to time. He believed it was called a Martini.

"Thank you." Naruto paused waiting for a name.

The child's eyes bore into his own. Naruto could feel the weight behind them and it almost made him shiver. A smile came to the boy's lips before he responded. "You are very perceptive, Master Shinji. I am Tenji. And I will be watching you."

Tenji ? Level ?

The boy made his way into the crowd and vanished out of view. Naruto to a drink of his Martini and almost wretched. It tasted worse than Ma's stew. How the hell did people this crap, he wondered.

"Master Shinji, what is your play?" The dealer asked.

Naruto looked around the table and the game he had completely forgotten about. All the players looked pissed at waiting for him except one asshole who smirked.

For the first time this evening his instincts and luck we're completely silent. "Fold," he called out as he decided this would be a bad hand no matter what and took another drink of his awful martini. Naruto wiped the sweat from his forward. Weird, he thought. He was not hot in the least that was when he noticed the man that smirked earlier had a grin that was practically feral. The ugly grin matched his ugly pockmarked and freckled face. Hell, even the man's rust orange hair was making Naruto doubt whether orange was his favorite color. Even he could see that the man's hair looked like shit. He wanted to knock that shitty grin off the man's faces. Wait. Faces? Why were there two of them?

You have been Poisoned

You will lose 500 HP every minute for 10 Mins.

-500HP

+2 To Poison Resistance

Naruto stood in shock knocking over his chair. He had to get to Ero-Sennin. But, as he was about to stumble away a voice broke through his tunnel vision and cleared his mind. "Master Shinji, if you leave the table you will withdraw from the tournament. You will forfeit all your earnings."

"Yes," The pockmarked orange-haired man spoke in an annoyingly high voice. "Master Shinji if you leave you will lose everything."

The man's grating voice was what he needed to focus. The poison must be one that causes that also affects the mind causing a panic attack and tunnel vision. "No, I needed a moment to stretch." Naruto's voice was hoarse from the poison.

-500HP

+2 Poison Resistance

Naruto turned to the nearest server. "May I please have a glass of water?"

"Of Course sir." The man said before he quickly retreated to the back of the room.

-500HP

He hoped the servant would be quick about it because time was of the essence. Naruto had lost more than half his health in a matter of minutes.

The ugly man's grin had turned to a frown at this point. There was no doubt because he thought the poison should have worked by now. It must have been one hell of a poison if it could get through his high poison resistance.

Naruto snatched the water from the servant tripping the man in the process. Naruto used the distraction to slip a general antidote out of his inventory and pour it into the glass. He chugged it down as some of the spectators were helping the servant back to his feet. The servant gave Naruto one last glare before he walked off in a huff.

General Poison Antidote Consumed!

You will now only lose 100 HP every minute for the next five minutes.

"What's his problem?" Naruto asked as he returned to his seat.

The croupier looked at Naruto with his brow raised. "Are you done with your little intermission or maybe you would like to order some lunch too?"

The dealer may have sounded like an ass but this at least released some of the tension at the table. The other players were none too pleased with his little performance. Naruto stared directly at the orange-haired bastard that poisoned him as he spoke. "Sorry, sorry that last hand nearly killed me."

Kuso Mid-Level Yakuza - Level 18

He was going to kick that guy's ass by the end of the night. It was hard for him to fight against his nature as Naruto wanted to shout and rage at the man who poisoned him. But Jiraiya-sensei drilled into him the need to not draw attention to himself. So Naruto did the only thing he could do and started to daydream. He dreamed about punching that ugly man's face for trying to kill him. And even more importantly for making him doubt the beauty of the color orange. If only he did not have to play this stupid game. Naruto let his instincts takeover of him as he somehow won one hand after another. At this point, his only input was to raise his hand, tap the table or to throw a chip out or two or a dozen. And of those three he only knew the purpose of throwing a chip out. Oh well, whatever, he thought. There were more important things to think about. Like, how was this seal was keeping his Chakra suppressed? Ero-Sennin may have heard of it but he had not. It was like the seal had an energy that pushed his Chakra out of his Chakra Pathways and back into his Chakra Coils. It felt weird to him because as a Shinobi Chakra is always running through his Pathways. It made Naruto wonder if he could suppress his own Chakra. Naruto could feel his Chakra fighting against the suppression. So he tried to calm it down and suppress it himself. As soon as he even thought of it. The Chakra calmed down and it withdrew from fighting the Suppression Seal.

Chakra Suppression Learned!

Chakra Suppression 1/100 - You can now suppress your Chakra to make yourself invisible to Chakra Sensors. You can only hold it suppressed for 10 mins before your chakra will force its way free.

Naruto won another hand but ignored it. Now if he could control his own suppression. Maybe he could help his chakra fight against the Suppression Seal.

"This is bullshit!" Naruto's thoughts were interrupted by the assface as he stood from his seat. "That motherfucker is cheating! He is not even looking at his cards. And tell him to stop whistling!"

Naruto looked around cluelessly. There were only two other gamblers at the table besides Kuso. "I was whistling?" The others nodded in a disgruntled response. "That's strange I have never been very good at it."

"We know," the croupier answered then turned to the standing man who was glaring at Naruto. "Kuso, if you leave the table you will withdraw from the tournament and forfeit all your earnings."

Naruto smiled like a villain when a plan comes together. "Yes, Kuso if you leave you will lose everything." Naruto looked down at his ever-growing pile of chips than to the half dozen chips scattered in front of Kuso. "Though from the looks of it that might be the best."

Kuso roared in anger and attempted to jump the table to reach him. He was grabbed by bouncers that had been creeping up on the gangster. "You better watch your back I am going to fucking kill you!"

Naruto took a sip of his water then responded, "stick to losing poker."

"You're dead you hear me you're fucking dead!" You could still hear the ugly man as they dragged him out of the room and into the hallway.

"Kuso has resigned from the tournament. All his remaining earning will be given to the house." The croupier said dispassionately as if he was just waiting for the tournament to end. Naruto could not blame the dealer. The man was probably used to working with professionals but he was stuck with him and the asshole.

The tournament was close to ending. The two remaining players were nearly tapped out. If his winning streak continued it would only take two or three more hands. Naruto was tired of sitting at this table. Today was probably the longest he sat still and that includes the time he spent at the academy. The tournament started midday but now it was pitch black outside. He swore he would never play this game again. It was ridiculous he was a man of action, not a man of sitting at a table playing cards. He was not even sure how he let Jiraiya talk him into this. Who was he kidding? Ero-Sennin promised to allow him to have all the Ramen he could eat for a day. It was a deal too good to pass up as he had not had a single bowl of Ramen in months.

Naruto was in this tournament because they would need more underworld coins if they were going to actually attend the auction. There were also things that his Master told him to be on the lookout for. Names, dates you know important information.

The round of applause drew Naruto out of his thoughts. The croupier stood and bowed to Naruto. "Master Shinji, congratulations on your victory."

The table was cleared by servants and a small chest was set in front of Naruto. A short, lumpy bald man approached with a black book in hand. If Naruto remembered correctly he was the owner of home and mayor of Odaiba. "Your winnings, fifty coins, and a Syndicate Register."

The mayor set the book on the table with much hesitation like the man had wanted it for himself. Naruto did not like the look in the man's eyes. So he quickly snapped the book and the small chest up and hid them within the long sleeve of his Kimono. At least that is what it looked like to everyone else but in reality, he slipped it into his inventory. After the book was concealed from view the tubby mayor scurried away.

Another servant came over to Naruto, this one far better dressed than anyone else in the room. She bowed revealing a generous amount of cleavage to him. If it had been a week ago it would have had Naruto falling all over himself but now he was a different man. While his eyes were drawn to the generous bounty that was her breast. He also noticed the slight bulge in her white Qipao hiding a knife. And the murderous glint in the eyes of the Yakuza who were watching him.

What the hell is this book? Naruto asked himself.

Servant Identity Masked Level Masked

"Shinji-sama, please follow me to your shared loge seating." The girl spun around to lead Naruto away causing her shoulder-length mint green hair to flair out. They took the nearest elevator down to the basement. Then Naruto followed her through a series of corridors. He was lost by the time they reached the stairs but he used that time to watch the girl in front of him. She is a Kunoichi, a hot caramel-skinned kunoichi. You do not have the grace that she does and not be one. Then there are the muscles he could see flex just beneath her Qipao. And that knife of hers. It all added up to one thing. She was on a mission. The question was what is it or who is she here to assassinate?

The girl stepped to the side, "after you Shinji-sama."

Naruto only got two steps up before his senses blared at him. He ducked causing the girl's knock out strike to fly over his head. He spun around pulling a kunai out of his inventory to slash at her. The girl jumped backward to dodge giving them both some space. It did not last as she jumped forward pulling her tanto out from within her dress to stab Naruto. He met it with his kunai, it did not stop her as she continued with a flurry of strikes. They both grimaced at lack of chakra behind their strikes but she was unnaturally strong. She was stronger than Naruto even after all his recent training and was progressively pushing him up the stairs. But she was no Kenjutsu mistress and Naruto was a good deal faster than her.

"Shinobi-san, why don't you drop your disguise? There is no way an overweight civilian would be able to move like you."

"Can't," Naruto grunted as he landed a punch to her stomach. It was like hitting stone but at least he made her stumble backward. "I would need chakra to do that, Kunoichi-chan. Now, how about we just go our separate ways and forget this ever happened."

The mint haired girl took a moment to catch her breath. Fighting without chakra is no joke, she thought. "Nope, how about I kick your butt, collect the book then we can become best of friends afterward!" She flashed a wide smile and a peace sign.

Naruto could not stop the laugh that bubbled out of him. "Stop laughing at me." The girl pouted as she crossed her arms under her bust.

"Sorry, sorry. It just sounds like something I would say. I would like to be your friend Kunoichi-chan so keep that cute pout to yourself." Naruto grinned as she a light blush lit her cheeks. "But sorry to inform you kunoichi-chan the only butt getting kicked is yours, dattebayo!"

Naruto surprised her with a haymaker but she was able to duck out of it. Before she could respond Naruto spun into a kick which caught the girl in the ribs. He did not let up his assault as he used his speed to get within her reach. She blocked his initial stab but not the snap punch that came after it. He still felt like he was hitting a granite slab so Naruto changed targets. Since she did not look even phased by the hits he landed on her stomach or upper chest. Call him chauvinist but the last thing he wanted to do was hit his new friend's pretty face.

He dropped his kunai into his Inventory and went at her with his fist. She responded in kind by shoving her tanto back to where ever women conceal their weapons. The smiles on their faces stretched to their limit as they clashed again. Naruto stepped out of the way of a kick. It probably had the strength to send him through several walls and smashed his elbow into her knee. That was his new plan. To attack her joints and wear her down if he did not have the strength to get through her ridiculous defense. Naruto countered her punch with a shot to her elbow.

The Kunoichi growled and jumped back. "I can't fight with these stupid things."

Naruto's jaw dropped as the girl shoved her hand down the front of her Qipao. She struggled for a moment before ripping out a padded bra and tossing it on the ground. "Stupid things why can't you let a girl have her dreams." She growled as she stomped the fake breast into the ground leaving cracks behind. "Oh no, my disguise!"

"Wait that was your disguise?"

"Kinda, I wanted to see what it would feel like to have big ones." She looked put out for a moment but quickly turned a one-eighty. "But I am also wearing contacts."

"That's not a disguise at all," Naruto said as he crossed his arms. He could not help but like this girl.

"It is too! I didn't want to wear the rest so it's like half of it."

"That's not how a disguise works. This is a disguise," Naruto said as he shook his belly. "What you have is like sixteen percent of a disguise."

"Muu I just wanted to have boobs for once, okay. Are you still going to be my friend now that you know that mine are small?"

"What? Of course Kunoichi-chan. I am not that shallow."

"Fu."

"What?"

"My name is Fu, not Kunoichi-chan."

Fu Taki Genin Level 32

"Nice to meet you, Fu-chan. I am Naruto Uzumaki but please don't tell anyone. Where I am is supposed to be a secret."

"It's our secret." Fu fidgeted as she looked away. "Thanks for being my friend Naruto but I need that book."

Before she could attack a chakra enhanced voice made an announcement. "Auction will begin in five minutes. Those not in their seats will be locked out."

"Aww man. I need to meet up with my team. Meet me outside afterward to finish our fight Naruto-kun. And don't forget that book."

"I will try. Bye Fu-chan."

"If you don't I will find you," Fu called out as she ran down the hall.

+Enhanced Attractiveness - Beauty isn't everything but it doesn't hurt either.

What a ridiculous reward, Naruto thought to himself as he made his way up the stairs. He hoped Fu had taken him the right way before they broke out into their fight. A smile came over his face. She was quite cute and those thighs of hers looked like she could crush a tree between them. She was definitely fit and lean. He liked that.

Naruto shook those thoughts from his head as he reached the top of the stairs. A man in a uniform approaches him. "Master Shinji, please follow me your room is just ahead."

Servant Level 6

Naruto just nodded in response.

He followed the man down the curved hallway to a black door with the number thirty-five on it. The servant opened the door to allow Naruto to enter. It was a small room perched on a balcony that overlooked a stage. There were two armchairs in the room so Naruto moved to the one free seat. The seats were arranged so that the shadows would conceal the occupants from each other. Not that it mattered to Naruto as the Gamer.

Nakamura Kaito Yakuza Lieutenant Level 21

The man was dressed in a black kimono with red dragon accents. There was also a mass of chairs for the general audience out on the floor in front of the stage. Fu stood out like a thorn with her bright green hair but so did the Akatsuki with their obvious ninja attire. Everyone else in the audience that he could see was gangsters and mercenaries. The lights dimmed robbing Naruto of his current source of entertainment.

The fat mayor of Odaiba Village walked onto the stage. "Welcome to the Syndicate Auction. As a reminder this will be a silent auction please use the red button on your chair to place your bids." Just after the man mentioned the button a panel slid open on right armrest of the chairs to reveal a glowing red button and a numbered panel lowered behind the fat Mayor. "We will start with the least interesting items and move on from there. First, we have a Chakra Metal Katana crafted by a fine blacksmith in the Mountains of Iron Country. The bidding starts at eight thousand Ryo."

Naruto tuned out the Auction since neither he nor Ero-Sennin needed any weapons. He focused on his Chakra as he had during the tournament. His chakra coils were starting to ache due to it constantly fighting the suppression. Naruto forced his Chakra to calm down like he had before and could already feel the relief in his Coils. At this point, he could only hold it for ten minutes so he used the boring Auction to train his own suppression jutsu.

Chakra Suppression Experience Gained 25/100! You can now suppress your Chakra for One Hour!

Naruto pulled himself out of training when he heard the Auctioneer move onto the next portion of the event. "Now let's move on to what the majority of people are here for, Information! The Syndicate has gathered books and knowledge from all over the Elemental Nation to provide it for you tonight. Let us start with something very enticing!"

A pedestal rose from the ground with a thick black book on top of it. "You must be wondering why I am so excited about a simple black book. That is because this is not just any black book this is the Syndicate's very own Shinobi Census. It contains a cornucopia of information from. Secret village layouts and hidden entrances to a Ninja breakdown. But the most important thing it contains Jinchuriki information. We have a limited supply of ten books. The bidding will start at one gold coin."

Naruto's hand flew to the red button this was exactly what Ero-Sennin wanted. He was certain that Akatsuki was doing the exact same thing. The number on the panel rose until it reached seventeen coins and stopped. Naruto pressed the button once again, he was committed to getting that book.

"Seventeen coins is the final bid. The book will be sent to the winners at the conclusion of the Auction. Next on the docket is an Uchiha Training Scroll on Fire Element Ninjutsu. It comes with authentic Uchiha clan artwork. This is a rare scroll for a nearly extinct clan. It is a perfect addition to any collection. The bidding will start at one gold coin."

Naruto had no interest in Uchiha scrolls. But it was interesting to see it go for more than the Shinobi Census at twenty coins. Next up was a puppetry scroll from Suna that earned six coins, then a wind scroll also from Suna.

"We have another rare find for you, good people. This time we have a Lightning Element Scroll written by the Fourth Raikage himself. The Raikage personally wiped out the entire Shinobi clan that stole this scroll. He is still on the lookout for this scroll so it goes without saying do not let Kumo Nin find out that you have it. The bidding will start at six coins."

Naruto could not help himself and tapped the button. He could use this scroll even if it should not be one of his priorities. He had no Lightning teacher as it was not something Ero-Sennin focused on and neither did the toads. The board quickly jumped up to twenty-four coins before it stopped. Naruto sighed and made the board reach twenty-five.

"Twenty-five is the final bid. The scroll will be sent to the winner at the conclusion of the Auction. Our next item available it considered rare even amongst the rarest of items. It was once housed inside of Gatou's vault until his untimely demise. But that is what happens to people whose eyes are bigger than their stomachs. It is his collection of Uzumaki scrolls. At least we assume it is multiple scrolls since no one can figure out how to open it. Now let me begin the bidding before any of the collectors jump on the stage to get it. The bidding will start at ten coins."

Naruto jammed down on the button almost hard enough to break it. He grit his teeth in anger at these people profiting off his family. The amount on the board soon eclipsed the number of coins he had left until it settled on thirty-five coins. He wanted to jump down and just take it. His lack of Chakra stopped him and the Gamer System calmed him enough to think rationally about it. He vowed that nothing would stop him from getting his families scrolls back.

Battle Instinct has tagged the Item! You will have an innate sense of its location for the next 30 Days!

"Now I have one last item. It will only interest a few of you and we do have two copies." A new red book appeared on the pedestal from earlier. "This book details all information gathered about the organization named Akatsuki. The bidding will start at one coin."

Naruto's mind was not into it but he knew he needed that book. So he focused just enough on the auction to win the book at sixteen coins.

The auction continued on while Naruto's mind was in disarray. The items he mostly ignored included deeds, drugs, and other general stuff. Until it moved into people. First, it was buying a small mercenary army then slaves. It began with old men for workers and such then women, then young girls. Naruto felt sick to his stomach as people were paraded out one by one. The host continued to prattle on about their general information like they were livestock. The man seated next to Naruto was on a buying spree, it seemed this is what he had been here for.

Naruto froze as he heard the name of the next slave.

"Tatsuki Honoka. Her father was a traitor to the Nakamura Yakuza. The man has been turned into them but the bounty did not include her so she was given to us to be sold. Tatsuki-san may be small but she is thirteen and a budding Kunoichi. She is a late bloomer who has yet to flower but at her age, it will be any day now." The fat mayor licked his lips. "The bidding for this fine specimen will start at thirty gold coins!"

Naruto clenched his fist as he saw Honoka-chan stumble onto the stage. The poor girl must have been drugged as her eyes were barely open and she could hardly stand straight. She sluggishly attempted to cover herself from prying eyes. She was only wearing a sheer nightgown. Before Naruto even knew what he was doing he was standing behind his neighbor and had a Kunai at his throat.

Naruto leaned forward and pulled the terrified man's head to the side. "Bid on her or I will slit your throat." The Kyuubi's Chakra slid right past the suppression seal. Naruto had kept enough of his senses to not channel too much of it.

"No worries on that mate." The man recovered quickly from Naruto's threat. "Her father betrayed my boss. The boss wants to break her while Tatsuki-san watches."

Naruto pressed the blade deep enough to draw blood. "Why are you telling me this? Do you want me to kill you?"

The slick-haired man's light smile grew sinister. "I am telling you because you seem to care about her. But you are going to die here and I want your last thoughts before you go to be about her being raped over and over again."

"I won't let that happen." Naruto looked down at Honoka and focused on her. He tried to do what he did earlier with the Uzumaki Scroll.

The person could not be tagged. Out of Range for Humans!

"Shit," Naruto said at the failure. He pushed the Kyuubi's chakra from out of his system. It would not be good for him to be noticed now as he was not sure he would be able to fight his way out.

"See, now you understand there is no way out for you. This whole town is covered with Yakuza and as soon as they find me dead they will hunt you down." The rant dragged Naruto's attention back to the gangster.

Battle Instinct has tagged the Enemy! You will have an innate sense of his location for the next 10 Days!

"Fifty-three coins in the final bid. This concludes our Auction. Thank you and good evening."

Naruto faked distraction to let the shitty Yakuza wiggle out of his hold and took a weak punch to the stomach. The man used his freedom to dash out of the room. Naruto was about to follow him. But was distracted by the Fuinjutsu summoning that appeared next to his chair. The man was tagged there was no need to follow him anyway. A scroll appeared once the summoning finished. As soon as he touched the scroll it released the items it contained.
