I hope everyone here enjoys the watch after as we are now entering the next.

Underdogs team

Previously from the last chapter

Naruto tries to fight and make sure his face did not go into the water when Ercole tries to push his face into the fountain water.

"Noo..." Naruto struggles to keep his face out of the fountain, a little water came onto Naruto's cheek giving him orange scales appeared.

But before he could be exposed.

A redhead girl riding on her bike with a big wagon full of fish came and stop him.

"Leave them alone!" She said as Naruto was able to get away from him and Alberto broke Free and went to Naruto.

Both were behind the redhead now but who was she?

"Giulia here to help the losers like you?" Ercole ask as he was smoking and joking around.

Giulia stopped for a bike right next to him, she was also holding a fish at him.

"Beware your reign of terror is coming to an END!" Giulia said as Ercole say the exact same last four words she said.

"Giulia are you supposed to be training where you're supposed to be throwing up," Ercole said as she got mad.

"I will not this year, I'm taking these two with me, you two hop-on," Giulia said as both Alberto and Naruto Got on the wagon.

"Fine go ahead, go start a club for losers," Ercole said as he laugh at them.

After that was over Naruto was relieved that he didn't get exposed by Ercole.

Giulia started talking to them about Ercole, "what a jerk, he keeps bragging about he keeps winning which he shouldn't be allowed to enter since he's too old now AND THAT'S HE'S A JERK!"

Both look at her confused.

"Oh sorry I got carried away, didn't I? Well anyway, I am Giulia Marcovaldo." Giulia said.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Naruto Uzumaki and this is my friend Alberto," Naruto said.

"we underdogs I have to look out for one each other," Giulia said.

"What's an underdog?" Alberto ask.

"You know, kids who are different, let your clothing the way you act and everything especially that name Naruto," Giulia explains.

Back on the docks

Kurama was walking thinking about how to get his revenge on Naruto, sure he's now free but it was how it happened, Naruto chooses to become a sea monster and thought it would be greater than being the jinchuriki of the nine tails, to Kurama that was like the most insulting thing to do to Kurama.

'just you wait naruto, when I find you I'll make you wish you regret what you did to me!' Kurama thought with deep hatred.

On the boat with Danzo

Everyone was keeping watch on the ocean to see any sea monsters not even knowing a fox, a turtle, and a seagull had passed their boat.

With kushina

all had gone to the town and took the other direction away from Naruto.

All we're going to a hotel in the town.

Back with Naruto and Alberto

All three we're talking very great to each other about The Portorosso cup, they have to swim first then eat pasta, and then ride the bikes around the town to the finish line.

"So what do you win in this competition?" Naruto asks.

"Well you win The Portorosso cup and some money," Giulia said as Alberto look at her.

"Would we be able to buy a Vespa?" Alberto ask.

"Well yes but you be able to afford that one," Giulia pointed towards a broken-down Vespa.

"Then how about we join your team?" Alberto ask as he wanted to win that Vespa.

"I'm not really so sure about that," Giulia said as both looked at her.

"Please, we underdogs can all help each other out," Naruto said as he wanted to enter the competition for fun.

"Well, that depends, can you ride a bike?" Giulia asks Naruto.

"I never ride one before," Naruto said as Giulia look at him.

"You WHAT! What kind of kid has never ridden a bike before," Giulia said as she got Naruto on her bike.

She told Naruto to ride it around the fountain, it was hard for Naruto as well Giulia kept walking away and Naruto have to keep going around her.

After a little bit, she made her decision.

"Well you do seem to have problems with riding but with a little training we can get you into shape," Giulia said as Naruto smiled.

"So who's going to be doing what in this competition?" Naruto asks.

"Well, I'm mostly good at swimming so I'll swim, which one of you eat the best?" Giulia ask.

"Well Alberto is the one who eats the most back where we're from," Naruto said.

"All right, he'll eat and you ride," Giulia said as she pull her out, "so underdogs?"

Both Naruto and Alberto put their hands over hers and all said together, "UNDERDOGS!"

Now the team of underdogs has started.

As those three were having their fun a little fox was peeking out from the corner, "there you are Naruto."
