Chapter 182: Naruto and I should go to Cloud Hidden Village...?
In a high-end restaurant.
The three of them were sitting around eating, and Naruto was eating unknown exotic ramen. He flicked his chopsticks and stuffed noodles into his mouth along with the noodle soup.
It tastes worse than Ichiraku Ramen, but I can barely eat it.
Jiraiya sat next to Naruto, sipping from the small wine glass and picking up a few peanuts from time to time.
Sasuke, on the other hand, was holding a knife and fork elegantly, his face was calm, and he was eating a very fresh steak shipped overnight from the Land of Thunder.
One bite, and the blood spurted out could even spurt onto Naruto's face.
This place is located on the northeastern border of the Kingdom of Fire, not far from the Kingdom of Thunder.
"Sasi, you don't know, I've been much better than before in the past six months!"
In the sea, Naruto did not forget to praise himself.
"Oh? So what new tricks have you learned?"
Sasuke just asked rhetorically.
"Haha, I've learned everything..."
Before a few more words came out of Naruto's mouth, he suddenly froze in place.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that he hasn't learned anything new that he can name in the past six months.
In addition to teaching him the most basic illusion rebound technique, Jiraiya also asked him to practice coordinating the cover battle between himself and the shadow clone. The rest...
Gone? !
Naruto hadn't noticed anything yet.
Once I said it, I suddenly felt like I had been practicing loneliness in the past six months?
"hehe..."
Hearing this, Sasuke just showed an expected smile.
In the original work, the period at the beginning of Shippuden can be said to be the period with the greatest gap in strength between the two.
At that time, not counting the power of his curse seal or Naruto's power of the nine tails, his normal state was close to that of an elite jounin, and he was even an elite jounin at all.
With a raised hand, he suppressed the new Team 7 led by Yamato. If Orochimaru hadn't intervened, a Kirin would have sent them directly into the sky as a group.
But Naruto...
Only elite chuunin can survive, right?
The new trick he has mastered may just be a big jade rasengan.
However, the range of movement of this move is larger than that of his shadow clone version of the Rasengan. Without cover, it is impossible to hit the enemy.
This has deviated further and further away from the trajectory of fast Muji Ninjutsu that Namikaze Minato originally envisioned.
As for why...
It's hard to say that Sasuke's education level is Orochimaru's, but it's just higher than Jiraiya's, right?
It can only be said that the latter may be more about cultivating Naruto's character in exchange for better control of the power of the Nine-Tails in the future.
Or sit quietly and practice under the waterfall, which also lays the foundation for the future immortal mode.
High emotional intelligence.
"Forehead..."
Sasuke couldn't help but look at Jiraiya next to him.
If you have to wash it, this seems to be the only way to do it.
...
Seeing the gazes cast by the two of them at the same time, Jiraiya raised his small wine glass, took a sip, and then slowly answered:
"Ahem, Naruto, the training of a ninja is one step at a time..."
After saying this, Jiraiya seemed to have vaguely noticed something in his heart.
It seems that I am still too conservative about Naruto's training?
So next, let’s increase our efforts.
We strive to allow Naruto to normalize and cross the threshold of normality within 2 years.
"Sasuke, what's next for you? Do you want to practice with us, or are you going somewhere...?"
Jiraiya quickly changed the topic and looked at Sasuke.
"Next I plan to go to Yunyin Village."
Without hiding anything, Sasuke answered truthfully.
"Oh? Cloud Hidden Village? It's a dangerous place there."
Jiraiya glanced up and down at Sasuke and said meaningfully.
Well, his appearance is almost catching up to what he looked like when he was a teenager, and he is probably able to attract a lot of young girls.
The relationship between Kumoyin Village and Konoha Village is not very good. Once one's Konoha identity is discovered, they will be arrested on the spot.
He might even turn back to Konoha and demand an explanation and compensation for the infiltrated spy.
Yunyin Village is always in trouble.
No matter who is right or wrong, let’s talk about blackmail.
If you are not convinced, you will start a national war directly. The Kumogakure Village, which advocates force, has long been eyeing the position of the largest country in the ninja world.
"It doesn't matter~"
Geniuses have their own understanding, and Jiraiya can't control so much. He deserves to be caught.
"correct."
At this time, Zaike suddenly thought of something and popped a pass towards Sasuke.
"This is the VIP pass that the bookstore owner gave me just now. If you enter Yunyin Village with chakra, I guess the inspection will not be so strict."
Just like the original work, Jiraiya did not intend to take Naruto to the Hidden Cloud Village, and simply gave the pass to Sasuke.
"Hey, hey, hey! The lustful immortal, Sass has gone, I want to go to Yunyin Village too!!"
Naruto next to him was unhappy when he heard this, and quickly grabbed Jiraiya's arm and shook it violently.
But Jiraiya ignored him at all, and just looked at Naruto with a serious expression.
"Naruto, you should also be aware of the existence inside your body, right?"
Upon hearing this, Naruto immediately stopped moving, his face hardened, and he touched near his belly.
Nine-tailed demon fox.
Naruto even met the nine-tailed demon fox in person when he was practicing the art of channeling.
"As the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, your existence not only has the highest value to Konoha, but once you are captured by an enemy village, it will also be a disaster for Konoha...!"
Jiraiya said in a serious tone, trying to completely dispel Naruto's thoughts.
He understands this feeling.
When he was a child, if Orochimaru wanted to go to a dangerous place, he would definitely arouse the desire to fight and go there without admitting defeat.
"But, all the Sasse are gone..."
Naruto clenched his fists, not completely giving up the idea.
...
This pair of masters and disciples at the grandson level are still in a stalemate.
Sasuke finally finished his bloody steak, raised his head, and said slowly:
"How about Naruto come with me?"
"Sass!"
Naruto's eyes suddenly brightened, as if he had seen his own brother.
But Jiraiya was not so easy to talk to, and he didn't take these words seriously at all.
After all, Sasuke is just a genius of the younger generation, and he has no right to speak here.
As expected, Sasuke just wiped his mouth gently and said:
"Then I will exchange Orochimaru's information with you. Naruto and I will go to the Hidden Cloud Village, and you will go see Orochimaru...?"
"!?"
Jiraiya's eyes widened for a moment, he jumped over the dining table and grabbed Sasuke's shoulders.
"Hey kid, you can't joke about this kind of thing!!"
"The location is location xx in the southwest border town of Iwagakure Village, and the time is seven days later."
Sasuke betrayed Orochimaru's information again without any hesitation.
Being alone in Kirigakure Village is a bit boring.
Since they bumped into each other this time, Sasuke planned to take Naruto with him to form a bond between two orphans and travel to Yunyin Village together.
After a short delay, Jiraiya coughed, straightened his white hair, and sat back down.
If Naruto hadn't seen Sasuke for 5 years and heard information about Sasuke by chance one day, he would be so excited.
He has no grudge against Sasuke, and the information is most likely true.
Jiraiya himself is also an expert in intelligence. Three months ago, Orochimaru's base in the Land of Fire was bombed, and he knew some news about how he escaped with serious injuries.
The direction of escape at that time was towards the southwest of the Earth Kingdom.
