This level of strength terrified the members of the Akatsuki.
This young Hokage is amazing.
It's unmatched.
At this moment, Kakuzu said, "Perhaps we can take advantage of the end of the Fourth Shinobi World War to launch a surprise attack on Konoha?"
Kakuzu voiced a bold idea.
However, Kisame rejected the suggestion, saying with a forced smile, "Perhaps our Akatsuki organization can defeat the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, but the casualties will definitely be huge, and it may even lead to the failure of the final mission. I don't think we can launch a sneak attack on Konoha."
At this moment, Sasori also said, "Jinchūriki can't stay in Konoha forever. We can strengthen our surveillance of Konoha. As soon as they leave the village, it will be our Akatsuki's chance to strike."
Scorpion's words were met with approval from everyone.
Perhaps sensing that the morale of the group was not high, Obito said encouragingly, "No matter what, our Eye of the Moon Plan will succeed, so don't worry!"
...
Mt. Miaomu.
"Master Fukasaku, Master Shima, what brings the Great Toad Master to me this time?" Walking through the Shikkotsu Forest, one can see frogs of various colors everywhere, and the sound of "croak, croak, croak" can be heard from time to time, truly a chorus of frogs.
Gamamaru is usually asleep, so if he takes the initiative to find Jiraiya, it must be something important, so Jiraiya is also a little curious.
The purple-haired sage Shima croaked, displeased, "Jiraiya, you'll find out soon enough. Asking these questions now is pointless. The Great Toad Sage will tell you the answer later."
"Okay..." Jiraiya's face showed embarrassment after being criticized. After all, the other party was an elder, so it was not appropriate to refute him.
Fukasaku suddenly looked serious and said, "Jiraiya, what do you think of the Fifth Hokage of Konoha?"
“Gen-ye?” Jiraiya frowned slightly, then spoke seriously, giving a conclusion: “He is a good Hokage who would put himself in the village’s shoes.”
"I see..." Upon hearing these words, Fukasaku's tone became somewhat cold, and Jiraiya sensed something from the other's tone, feeling a bad premonition.
Ten minutes later.
They arrived at the magnificent palace on Mount Myoboku.
"Jiraiya, you've arrived." Gamamaru, sitting on the enormous chair in the palace, spoke in a calm tone.
"Great Toad Sage, you seem to be in good spirits." Jiraiya smiled and bowed, then looked at the other person on the platform and asked, "Great Toad Sage, what brings you here?"
Gamamaru narrowed his eyes slightly and then said, "I want you to bring the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki to Mount Myōboku. We will teach him the Sage Mode of Mount Myōboku and make him a pillar of the ninja world."
"This is great news!" Jiraiya's eyes lit up with excitement. He had wanted to bring up this idea for a long time, but he was afraid that Gamamaru would not agree. Now that the other party had brought it up, he was very excited.
After his initial excitement, Jiraiya said, "It is a very important matter to have the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki train at our Mount Myōboku. I will report to the Hokage first."
Jinchuriki are an important "strategic resource" of the village. If they leave the village to go to Mount Myōboku, they must have the approval of Gen'yō. Otherwise, even Jiraiya, one of the three legendary Sannin of Konoha, would not be able to make such a decision.
Fukasaku and Shima exchanged a glance.
He seemed to have noticed the worry in the other person's eyes.
Myoboku did this in order to keep it a secret from the Fifth Hokage of Konoha.
At that time, the Jinchūriki will become an important trump card for Mount Myōboku!
On the stage.
Gamamaru said, "Last time, Mount Myōboku had a conversation with the Fifth Hokage, but the process was not harmonious. I don't think the Fifth Hokage will send a Jinchūriki to Mount Myōboku. So I think, Jiraiya, you can just do it first and ask for permission later."
"But..." Jiraiya hesitated, then said, "Great Toad Sage, I don't have that authority..."
Gamamaru glanced at Jiraiya and drawled, "Actually, you have that right. After all, you were the one with the best chance of becoming the Fourth Hokage."
After a pause, Gamamaru said, "Jiraiya, you are of mediocre talent, yet you were able to become one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha and the Toad Sage. Mount Myōboku deserves much credit for that. Remember your position."
Towards the end, his tone became somewhat stern.
Seeing the atmosphere growing tense, Fukasaku the Sage jumped in to smooth things over, saying, "Jiraiya, the Great Toad Sage can foresee the future. Everything he does is for the sake of the ninja world. I hope you can distinguish between what's important and what's not, and think about the bigger picture."
"Yes, little Jiraiya, how could our Mount Myōboku harm you? The Fifth Hokage will thank you in the future."
“This…” Jiraiya hesitated.
finally.
He gritted his teeth and agreed.
Jiraiya believed that Mount Myōboku would not harm Konoha.
Chapter 219 The Battle Begins!
After leaving Mount Myōboku and returning to Konoha.
Jiraiya seemed very conflicted.
On one side is the village where I grew up.
the other side.
It is Mount Myōboku, which taught me cultivation and bestowed upon me immortal arts.
Whatever the choice.
Neither of these were good results.
You will also offend the other party.
"This is too difficult," Jiraiya said, extremely distressed.
He also wanted to report this matter to Genye.
But what if the latter disagrees?
So, they want to make contact with Naruto.
It's as difficult as climbing to heaven.
Myoboku-san will definitely be very disappointed in him then.
It really is a lose-lose situation.
Jiraiya was caught in a dilemma, finding it difficult to choose between going left or right.
"Never mind, I'll go see Naruto first." It had been a while since Jiraiya had visited Naruto, and he was missing him a bit, but when he arrived at Naruto's apartment, he found that Naruto wasn't there.
Jiraiya frowned and muttered, "It's so late, is Naruto still training?"
as predicted.
Not long after.
Upon arriving at the riverbank, Jiraiya found Naruto training with Killer Bee, looking extremely exhausted.
Jiraiya didn't disturb them, but quietly watched everything, a look of satisfaction in his eyes, and murmured to himself, "Minato, Kushina, Naruto will definitely become a powerful ninja."
After the two finished their cultivation.
Naruto fell heavily to the ground.
He was breathing heavily and looked extremely tired.
Killer Bee, on the other hand, was in excellent condition and could even rap a few lines every now and then. For the former, who was proficient in mastering the power of the Eight-Tails Gyūki, fighting and training with Naruto was child's play.
"Naruto!" Jiraiya called out Naruto's name softly. Upon seeing him, Naruto jumped up from the ground and exclaimed with delight, "Uncle who fixes the pipes!"
When Jiraiya heard this title, his lips twitched as well, and he retorted, "I am the Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha!"
"It doesn't matter, as long as you know I'm calling you." Naruto walked up to Jiraiya with a grin, seemingly unconcerned.
"So it's one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha." Killer Bee walked over as well.
During the Fourth Shinobi World War.
The third squadron of Konoha, led by Jiraiya.
That is, to fight against the Hidden Cloud Village.
He is very strategic.
It held off the Hidden Cloud Village for a very long time.
but.
Because of the final all-out attack, Killer Bee did not fight Jiraiya, which gave the impression that they respected each other.
Killer Bee suddenly said excitedly, "Jiraiya-sama, I'm a huge fan of yours! Your 'Make-Out Paradise' is absolutely fantastic! The plot is full of twists and turns, with each story intricately linked. It conveys profound yet simple truths, and the combination of text and illustrations has captivated me. I'm already waiting for your next book!"
"So Jiraiya-sama is also an author! What are the names of his books? I want to read them too!" Naruto said in a mature tone, showing great interest and seemingly unable to resist the urge to read Jiraiya's masterpiece.
Hearing this, Jiraiya tapped Naruto's head and said, "You should focus on your training now. Don't worry about anything else. Training is the most important thing."
"Ouch..." Naruto covered his head, seemingly very dissatisfied.
Killer Bee chuckled and chimed in, "Lord Jiraiya, the plot of your story is very enjoyable, especially the famous quotes, which are truly inspiring."
Killer Bee glanced at Jiraiya and began to read aloud with great expression.
“I have climbed to the top and explored to the bottom, and I have benefited greatly from both.”
"Every tree-lined path you long for in the early morning is already covered with frost and dew, painting a beautiful picture."
"Scholars should learn from each other in order to continuously grow."
Killer Bee seems to be a real fan of Jiraiya.
I remember all the famous quotes and sayings in the book very clearly.
They can recite it easily.
"Wow, these sentences are really beautiful, Jiraiya-sama. You truly are a great writer." Naruto gave him a thumbs up, clearly impressed by Jiraiya's literary talent.
"You flatter me, you flatter me." Jiraiya's expression was strange.
I really don't know if Killer Bee is a cross-dresser.
They're still talking nonsense.
Naruto put his hands behind his head, a smug look on his face, and said casually, "Since Jiraiya-sama's books are so famous, I'll go to Shueido and buy a few to read!"
"What a precocious little devil!" Jiraiya snorted, then patted Naruto's head and continued, "Naruto, do you want to go eat Ichiraku Ramen?"
Jiraiya wanted to find a suitable opportunity.
Then he talked to Naruto about going to Mount Myōboku for training.
"Ichiraku Ramen? I haven't been there in ages, let's go together, thanks Jiraiya-sama!" Killer Bee was very outgoing and immediately joined in.
Originally, I only planned to invite Naruto along.
Tell him what happened.
But unexpectedly, Killer Bee intervened.
This left Jiraiya speechless and helpless.
soon.
The three of them ate Ichiraku Ramen together.
Kirabi also returned first.
He's inspired today and needs to go back and refine his lyrics.
Jiraiya and Naruto walked back to their residence side by side. Jiraiya patted his full stomach and said, "Naruto, do you want to learn Sage Mode?"
"Sage Technique? What kind of ninjutsu is that?" Naruto's face showed a surprised expression.
They seemed to think it was something incredibly powerful.
"Sage Mode can be considered an enhanced version of Ninjutsu!" Jiraiya's face flashed with a look of reminiscence. He had also entered Mount Myōboku by accident, which led to his current achievements.
Then.
Jiraiya began to explain the power of Sage Mode.
Naruto's eyes lit up as he listened, and then a fiery light shone from them. "Yay! I want to learn Sage Mode and become the Hokage of Konoha!"
Naruto clenched his fist.
They look incredibly excited!
With a faint smile on his face, Jiraiya said, "Naruto, pack your clothes first. I'll take you to Mount Myōboku later, where you can learn powerful Sage Mode!"
