2. Ebisu’s Big Secret Exposed
Konohamaru’s misunderstanding began with his failure to master the first stage of Rasengan. He misdiagnosed the cause of his failure, believing that his lack of “sexiness” when performing Oiroke no Jutsu was the issue. Along with Moegi and Udon, Konohamaru decided to approach Ebisu, whom he believed to be an expert on the concept of “sexiness.”
Ebisu felt flattered when he saw Konohamaru’s eagerness to learn. However, after discovering that Konohamaru’s true goal was to learn everything about “sexiness,” Ebisu was shocked and panicked.
Konohamaru then revealed that Naruto had once said Jiraiya was an “extroverted pervert,” while Ebisu was an “introverted pervert.” Therefore, Konohamaru wanted to understand Ebisu’s hidden side. This statement left Ebisu even more distressed, causing him to mutter angrily and blame Naruto for being a “loudmouth.”
Despite his anxiety, Ebisu tried his best to keep his dark side hidden from his beloved student. However, Moegi and Udon eventually discovered a large stash of adult magazines in Ebisu’s room, leaving Ebisu stunned and speechless. His humiliation deepened when Moegi, who had always been seen as an innocent girl, gave him a look of pure disdain before leaving his house.
This incident left Ebisu feeling sad and dejected for days. He eventually confided in Iruka about how his pride had been shattered. Ebisu admitted that he didn’t know what to do anymore, and Iruka tried to comfort him, reminding him that everyone makes mistakes and that there is always a chance to make things right.
