The Third Hokage looked at the tall figure before him and exhaled a smoke ring.
"Honestly, Jiraiya, you've gotten me into big trouble as soon as you came back!"
"Hahaha, sorry, sorry, it's all just for research purposes." Jiraiya scratched the back of his head and laughed.
"Now that you're back, you're perfectly capable of taking over the Hokage position," the Third Hokage said, taking a puff of his cigarette.
Chapter 60 Yang Escape: A Breakthrough from Zero
"I'm not suited for this position," Jiraiya quickly waved his hand in refusal.
His heart is already used to the wild and he is not used to staying in the office.
And how did he gather material in the office?
If he can't write a book, his fans will send him razor blades.
He changed the subject: "I heard that Orochimaru infiltrated the village?"
Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi felt for Danzo Shimura, he felt the same way about Orochimaru.
Even though Orochimaru had defected from Konoha, Jiraiya still did not give up the idea of bringing Orochimaru back to Konoha.
Having wandered for so many years, whenever his intelligence network discovered Orochimaru's whereabouts, he would follow him.
"Hmm, judging from Naruto's words, his target this time seems to be Sasuke!" The Third Hokage nodded and said.
He didn't mention the information Itachi sent back; it was top secret. And since Jiraiya hadn't taken over as Hokage, it was best not to tell him such things.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Jiraiya, but the only way to be absolutely safe was to remain ignorant of such matters.
In the ninja world, even the secrets of the dead can be discovered.
"Naruto?" When Jiraiya heard this name, two people came to mind.
"Are you planning to meet him? I heard from Minato that you were the one who helped him choose this name," the Third Hokage said, taking off his pipe and looking at Jiraiya.
"How has this child been living all these years?" Jiraiya asked in a deep voice.
The Third Hokage then recounted Naruto's experiences over the years.
Naruto nodded in satisfaction as he watched the hot spring water bubbling up in the pool in the backyard of the Uchiha residence.
Next, we'll just need to hire some workers to do some more renovations, and Sasuke will naturally cover that cost.
After all, this is his house.
He went back to his room, where Sasuke had already entered a meditative state to cultivate his spiritual energy.
They cultivate their physical bodies during the day and their minds at night, working together in two ways, which is one of the reasons they have become so powerful.
Naruto sat cross-legged on the bed, his mind slowly entering a meditative state.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself on a grassland with blue skies and white clouds.
A giant fox lay lazily on the grass, its nine tails twirling idly behind it.
It seems like it hasn't been a long time since it has been able to lie so comfortably and leisurely.
"Fox." Naruto walked up to Kurama and waved.
"What?" The nine-tailed fox didn't even open its eyes, only its fox ears twitched slightly.
"I think I've met someone just like me," Naruto said.
"Ah, it's Shukaku, I know him." Kurama smacked its lips and said, slightly opening its eyes and opening them a crack.
Naruto nodded slightly. Sure enough, he could sense the aura within Gaara, and Kurama could naturally sense it as well.
This is related to the fact that he relaxed the seal and suppression a little.
At least now Kurama can sense what's happening in the outside world.
"Can Shukaku beat you?" Naruto asked curiously.
"Tch!" Nine-Tailed Fox scoffed disdainfully. "It's as easy for me to beat it as crushing a kitten."
"So you're really strong?" Naruto asked, still curious, with his arms crossed.
"Of course, I am the most powerful being in the world!" Nine-Tails blurted out.
"Then how were you sealed away?" Naruto asked immediately.
The nine-tailed fox's face stiffened; this had hit a nerve.
Those two bastards are no ordinary people.
One could control it at a glance, while the other could catch it like a chick.
Furthermore, it must be said that it is very powerful, so it must be sealed away.
Do you even need to look at what you're doing? How dare you say something like that?
Shameless Hashirama Senju!
That despicable Uchiha Madara!
Oh, they're already dead, so it's alright.
"Among the tailed beasts!" Kurama added after a moment's hesitation.
“Sogga!” Naruto nodded knowingly.
"You idiot, if you have nothing to do, don't disturb my rest!" Kurama shouted angrily at Naruto.
"Well, I came in this time to give you something good," Naruto said, scratching his head.
"What?" Nine-Tails asked curiously.
"Snap!" Naruto snapped his fingers, and a giant television set appeared in the sealed space.
This is a sealed space. The television set is entirely constructed from Naruto's mental energy. He can even create anything except life itself.
“I know you’re bored, so I’ve given you something to pass the time. I’ve created a television set using my mental power. As for the energy to keep it running, you’ll have to provide it yourself. You shouldn’t lack chakra,” Naruto said.
"What is this?" Nine-Tails examined the television. In the days when it could live a carefree life, there was no such thing as a television.
"Well, it's just that you can see interesting things through this. I can't explain it clearly in a short time, so just enjoy it," Naruto said, scratching his head.
Trying to explain modern things to an old-fashioned person is a bit too much to ask.
After all, he wasn't a good talker.
"The content playing above is all from my memory. If there's anything I skipped or couldn't follow, don't look for me. If I remember it, it will be displayed on it." After Naruto finished speaking, his figure disappeared directly into the sealed space.
As Naruto left, the television began playing a drama series.
"Perfect World".
The Nine-Tails rested its head on its claws, its eyes fixed on the television screen, while crimson chakra slowly flowed down from beneath it, connecting to the television set.
Time passed, but Naruto remained deeply engrossed in his training.
He still has a lot to learn, but with the Shadow Clone Training Method, he can feel significant progress every day.
The experience he gained in one day of practice was almost equivalent to what others gained in more than two hundred days of practice.
Both ninjutsu and sealing techniques are progressing rapidly.
Only physical skills are something he consistently trains every day.
The body is always the most basic and most important thing.
He will not forget his original aspiration: to traverse the universe in his physical body.
Meanwhile, his shadow clone and Hinata's shadow clone also arrived at Konoha Hospital. After communicating with the captain of the medical team, the captain of the medical team immediately arranged for a medical ninja to train the two.
After so many years of development, the medical system has gone beyond just medical ninjutsu; it has delved into the secrets of the human body.
They have studied various meridians, cells, and organs, and how to combine medical ninjutsu to better treat patients.
What surprised Naruto the most was that medical ninjutsu had actually come into contact with the Yang Release system.
Medical ninjutsu can be described as converting chakra into Yang Release chakra to aid in the recovery of injuries and physical strength.
He originally only intended to learn medical ninjutsu to take care of those around him, but unexpectedly, it led to his improvement in Yang Release.
This forced him to assign even more shadow clones to research medical ninjutsu.
He plans to use medical ninjutsu to cultivate his own Yang Release technique.
Chapter 61 Jiraiya Comes to the Door
Hinata's training in medical ninjutsu is indeed very convenient. For example, in Konoha, medical ninjas can only see the inside of the human body through instruments, such as the human body's cells and skeleton.
But the eye roll is different.
Her eyes are like an X-ray machine, allowing her to see inside the human body at any time.
Learning medical ninjutsu is like having a cheat code.
Oh, she's rolling her eyes; if it's not off, it means it's not on.
My Hinata will always be a green player!
She focused on learning about meridians and acupoints.
This is a tradition passed down in the Hyuga clan, but meridians and acupoints are not just about restricting chakra and movement. Stimulating different meridians and acupoints can also enhance bodily functions and chakra.
Uchiha training ground.
Naruto is undergoing extreme training.
Naruto tossed aside the huge boulder he was carrying, picked up his clothes to wipe his sweat, and shook his neck, making a crisp sound.
"You've been watching for so long, aren't you going to come out and show yourself?" Naruto shouted into the woods beside him after he finished dressing.
A tall figure emerged from the woods.
"I didn't expect your senses to be so sharp. Even during such extreme training, you were able to detect me," Jiraiya said with a smile, looking at Naruto.
“I spotted you as soon as you arrived,” Naruto said with a shrug. The surrounding wind was his eyes; Jiraiya had indeed done a very good job of concealing his presence.
But he ignored the wind around him!
"So, who are you, old man with white hair? Are you here to assassinate me?" Naruto's eyes gradually sharpened.
He had never seen this person in Konoha Village before; he might be here to kill him.
After all, his identity as the son of the Fourth Hokage has been known for quite some time.
The village arrested many spies who would rather be exposed than kill him, but they all just gave themselves away for nothing.
"Good question! Then let me introduce myself!" Jiraiya shook his head.
He bit his finger and used a psychic technique!
He immediately summoned a toad.
He stood on the toad's head, tossing his hair as he danced: "I am the Immortal Daoist of the Toad Spirit of Mount Myōboku, also known as the Toad Immortal. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Naruto stared at him expressionlessly.
Jiraiya remained in the same position without moving.
The faint cawing of crows could be heard from the sky.
"Idiot, idiot!"
"Wind Release: Vacuum Ball!" Naruto broke the awkward silence first.
"Oh dear, is he about to make a move?" Jiraiya dodged Naruto's attack with a leap.
But the next moment, Naruto was already close enough to deliver a powerful flying kick to Jiraiya's head.
Jiraiya reached out to block, and the powerful force caused the two to separate and land on the ground.
But as soon as Jiraiya landed, he felt something was wrong with the ground; it was soft, and he was slowly sinking into it.
The ground had turned into a swamp at some point.
[This kid's ninjutsu is quite impressive; I didn't even see when he used it.] Jiraiya thought to himself.
The next moment, the toad's tongue shot out and pulled Jiraiya back.
