Konoha's No. 1 Most Unpredictable Ninja

[CHAPTER 34]

"You interfered with my research!" The man yelled, fuming at the yellow haired boy.

"What kinda research you creep?" Naruto asked rather bored. He wasn't exactly in the mood to listen to the excuses of an old man.

"I'm a writer," The man produced a book from his pouch. "I'm writing my new novel."

As he held the book proudly, Naruto inspected the front cover. It was a rather disturbing book that had been engraved in his mind, one that Kakashi sensei was always seen reading.

"That pervy trash isn't worth the research." Naruto waved him off. "Stop using a career as an excuse to peek at women in the bathhouse!"

The boy made sure to speak loud enough for the women beyond the wall to hear. Pretty soon the noises of bare feet walking away could be heard, the splash of water as women were swimming to the steps and exiting.

"You dirty little rat! You ruined my research!" The old man screaming in a low tone, not wanting to scare any of the beautiful ladies on the other side that may be remaining.

"Then it's just one dirty man to another here." Naruto simply responded, pleased to know that everyone on the other side of the wall had left.

"There isn't anything dirty about it. I simply needed muses!"

"You're just a lowlife. Do us all a favor and skip town!"

"A lowlife!?" The man exclaimed. "I'm the hermit of mount Myoboku! The wise and immortal spirit! I'm the toad mountain sage!"

"So you're a pervy sage then!" Naruto's mouth curled into a disgusted sneer. "You disgust me, have you no commitment to your title of hermit?"

"I could care less of your thoughts kid..." The perv disappeared in a cloud of smoke, no longer feeling the need to be bashed by a child.

Naruto scoffed, "I hate this town."

About an hour later, Naruto left the hot springs and made his way through town to get back home. Unfortunately for him, the certain path connecting the exit and the hot springs was a hot spot for pleasure houses and such. He averted his eyes from the storefronts, only looking up to see a familiar sage being thrown out of a brothel and being slapped by a rather young woman.

"Seems like the women in this town haven't gotten any nicer." The white haired man pouted.

"They should really keep you on a leash you old pervert." Naruto commented to the man still on the floor.

"Shh!" The man stood up, took Naruto by the shoulder, and dragged him away from the crowds. "You know I really wish you wouldn't use the word pervert."

"Well then you're just a joke old man." Naruto smacked the hand from his shoulder.

"Spare me a moment of peace will you? Why bother yourself with me anyway?" The sage pinched the bridge of his nose, mad at himself to be annoyed by someone so immature.

"Stop popping up in my path and I might just be able to ignore you." The boy stated, offering a rather simple solution to both their problems.

"You little runt." The perv breathed out as Naruto pushed passed him and went back to walking home.

Having yet another sleepless night, Naruto goes out to train in the forest. He treks farther from his usual spot just to waste more time and possibly to tire out faster. He makes it past the riverbend when he groaned in frustration.

There, sitting at the foot of a tree, was the same white haired pervy sage. Visibly annoyed, Naruto took some shuriken from his pouch and launched them at the man. He was sure to make it a warning shot but only just. The man, luckily had an impressive reaction time, getting out of the way of the shuriken and ducking behind a fallen tree.
