Ebisu feels that he is more powerful than he might really be. He claims to be a shortcut to becoming Hokage, but Naruto has proven him wrong a couple of times. At first, he was arrogant toward Naruto, and thought he was obnoxious the way the rest of the village did. When Naruto beat him in a fight, however, he changed his tune.
Ebisu is a tutor to Konohamaru, and was a tutor to Naruto. Only when Naruto became a better teacher to Konohamaru, Ebisu realized what sort of ninja Naruto really was – a good one. Ebisu had a bit of embarrassment in the women’s baths and then was satisfied to continue tutoring Konohamaru.
