Chapter 308: Jiraiya Returns! I Don’t Want to Be Too Far Away from You!
Konoha.
With the third Chunin Exam and the Five Kage Summit approaching, Konoha is becoming unusually prosperous and lively.
The Uchiha clan's training ground.
"Teacher Ye, please, please give me special training."
Uchiha Sasuke, who did not experience the night of genocide, has a much better personality than in the original work, and his demeanor is full of sunshine.
"So, Xiao Erzhuzi, why do you want special training?"
Looking at Sasuke's young and determined expression, Uchiha Ye rarely smiled, but he was also a little curious.
If Sasuke doesn't have revenge as his goal, then what is his dream?
In response to Uchiha Ye's question, Uchiha Sasuke grinned and revealed a reason that surprised him but seemed very normal.
"Teacher Ye, my goal is to become a strong man like Teacher Ye, let the name of Uchiha spread throughout the ninja world, and at the same time defeat Naruto and make him my deputy!"
Although the words seemed naive and childish, Uchiha Ye saw a hint of determination in Sasuke's eyes.
Becoming stronger is true, but wanting to surpass Naruto is also true!
At this moment, Uchiha Ye muttered secretly in his heart, Indra and Ashura's will had been completely devoured by him, but Sasuke still had this idea.
Was it the influence at the beginning? Or were they just born incompatible?
However, after seeing Sasuke's sunny smile, Uchiha Ye smiled and nodded:
"If you want special training now, I will arrange someone for you. After all, you have already learned Chidori and Rasengan, and Naruto has also been training with Minato recently."
"Who is it? Is he more suitable to train me than Teacher Ye?"
Uchiha Sasuke's face was full of doubt. There was no other ninja in Konoha who was more powerful than Sensei Ya.
"Snake, I'm leaving the position of the Second Pillar to you. I think there is no one in the entire ninja world more suitable than you."
Uchiha Ye said this to the back of the tree with a meaningful smile, and then a masked figure appeared, which surprised Uchiha Sasuke.
But after seeing the three-magatama Sharingan reflected by the mask, he couldn't help but reveal a look of doubt.
"Teacher Ye, although I don't want to say it, Brother Itachi and Brother Shisui should also be suitable."
"No, he is more suitable for training you than Itachi and Shisui."
When Uchiha Ye thought of this, he smiled and waved his hand.
And Uchiha Sasuke of the Snake Team behind the mask looked at his teenage self, especially this look, how could he not see that he was obviously looking down on him.
There was a flash of scarlet behind the mask, and in that instant Uchiha Sasuke became excited and shouted excitedly:
"I understand, Teacher Ye!"
Uchiha Sasuke saw the fleeting flash of blood very clearly. It was clearly the moment when the three magatama evolved into the Mangekyo.
In other words, the other party is the other mysterious Uchiha ninja who opened the Mangekyo in the rumors five years ago.
In the eyes of little Sasuke, his brother and elder brother Shisui have not yet opened the Mangekyō.
Looking at Sasuke's excited expression, Uchiha Ye smiled, waved his hand and chose to leave.
"Sasuke, right? Don't worry, I will make you stronger in the shortest possible time."
Although it was a little awkward to officially meet his younger self for the first time, Uchiha Sasuke showed a rare excitement behind the mask.
The potential of myself in this world is far greater than mine, after all, he possesses the powerful power of the Nine-Tailed Fox in his body.
He believed that he could give the world a surprise.
Uchiha Sasuke of the Snake Team, who is over 20 years old, is definitely the most suitable ninja to train Uchiha Sasuke in this world. At least the little Sasuke in this world has not yet found his own direction.
At the same time, not just Sasuke, everyone was sprinting in the final moments.
……
"Temari, it takes more than one or two days to become strong in wind-style ninjutsu, and you are not short of ninjutsu right now. If you want to improve yourself in the fastest time, there is only one way!"
As the instructor of the jonin, Yekura, with whom she and her brother were as close as sisters, frowned and pondered for a long time before she found only one method.
"Sister Ye Cang, what do you mean?"
Temari is two years older than Naruto, Sasuke and the others. Now at the age of fifteen, she is in the golden period for a ninja.
At the same time, although he was still a Genin all these years, the tasks he performed had long been upgraded. Coupled with his calm mind, he naturally knew a lot of things.
Looking at the calm Temari, Ye Cang couldn't help but smile with satisfaction and nodded:
"That's right. You have everything you need now, except time. The only thing that can greatly improve your strength in the shortest possible time is Lord Ye's Immortal Curse Seal!"
The curse of immortality!
Ever since the descendants of the Six Paths Sage appeared in Konoha's top-secret plan, the powerful sage body awakened by Uchiha Yai and the curse he cast was called the Sage Seal.
"The Immortal's Curse Seal! Can I do this!?"
Temari said this with some concern. After all, even among Konoha's jonin, not many people could obtain this curse seal.
Seeing Temari's worry, Ye Cang nodded with a smile and said, "Try it first. If your body can adapt, then you don't have to worry. If it can't adapt, then you can only strengthen yourself temporarily once and for all."
The Sage's Curse Seal is extremely dangerous. Most of the ninjas in Konoha who have cultivated this curse seal have first passed through expensive disposable curse seal test tubes to allow their bodies to adapt, and then finally obtained this curse seal.
Of course there are some exceptions, and some people are born with a suitable physique.
But all this requires a prerequisite! That is absolute loyalty!
Thinking of this, Temari couldn't help but look at Ye Cang hesitantly. Although she had regarded Konoha as her home, her identity was ultimately more embarrassing than Ye Cang's.
Now that she is the daughter of the Fourth Kazekage of the Sand Village, can this identity really allow her to obtain the Immortal Curse Seal from the Hokage?
With this worry, Temari followed Ye Cang towards the Hokage Building.
……
The other end.
"Haha, Minato, long time no see. I didn't expect Naruto to be this big already."
Jiraiya came in through the window with a loud laugh, just in time to see Naruto and his family having dinner.
When Naruto saw this person, his eyes widened and he blurted out: "Aren't you the one who was going to peek in the bathhouse today... wuwu..."
The next moment, Jiraiya quickly covered Naruto's mouth, and his old face turned even redder, this little brat.
"Hey, kid, I'm just collecting materials! Do you understand what I mean by collecting materials?"
Naruto and Jiraiya met by chance while peeping in the bathhouse, and Minato Namikaze smiled when he saw this.
"Naruto, this is father's teacher, Lord Jiraiya." "Jiraiya the Three Ninjas!?" Namikaze Naruto pointed at the old man with wide eyes, and after seeing his father nod in confirmation, his face suddenly brightened.
Jiraiya sat at the table with a big laugh. When Minato was smiling and respectfully preparing to add another pair of bowls and chopsticks, he laughed and said:
"I haven't been back to Konoha for a long time. I didn't expect the village to be so lively. Naruto has also become stronger."
"And delicious ramen and beef. Your skills haven't improved at all, Minato."
Jiraiya's hearty laughter rang out in the room, and the atmosphere was filled with joy for a moment.
It was rare for Minato Namikaze to take out his treasured wine. He usually didn't drink much.
"Teacher Jiraiya, why are you back this time?"
After three rounds of drinks, looking at Jiraiya's satisfied and tipsy expression, Uzumaki Nako smiled very politely and went to the kitchen to clean up the dishes.
"Naruto, come and help mom too."
Before leaving, Uzumaki Nako also called Naruto away. When there were only two of them at the table, Namikaze Minato couldn't help but ask about the doubts in his heart.
Jiraiya squinted his eyes and savored the wine in his mouth, then swallowed it and said slowly:
"The Five Kage Tournament, with such a big event, I had to come back, but you guys kept it a secret, Minato, I didn't even receive any news."
By holding the Five Kage Summit at the same time as the Chunin Exams, it is clear that Uchiha Ya is trying to replan the structure of the ninja world.
After all, Konoha's current military strength, as well as the exposed Mangekyō and Wood Release, have given Konoha the power to once again redefine the structure of the ninja world.
This is also the reason why Jiraiya came back with a headache, he saw the war!
"Teacher Jiraiya, it's not that we kept it a secret. It's just that you, Teacher Jiraiya, just didn't want to get involved in these things over the years."
Minato Namikaze shook his head with a wry smile. Perhaps he was trying to avoid suspicion at the beginning. Anyway, he and Jiraiya simply did not get involved in such matters.
But in recent years, since the extermination of the Sarutobi clans five years ago, he has come to the center of power.
In other words, he did feel Uchiha Ye's sincerity.
"Teacher Jiraiya, you should have seen the development of Konoha in these years. You said there were so many chaotic small countries, but under the garrison of our Konoha ninjas, the countries gradually restored peace and the economy recovered..."
Minato Namikaze spoke with emotion about the revolution that Konoha had brought to the ninja world over the years. It was not just the development of internal military power, but it had actually begun to change the ninja world externally.
"These small countries that were at war with each other in the past are now inseparable from Konoha. Teacher Jiraiya, perhaps the will of the Fourth Hokage is right!"
"If there is only one voice in this ninja world, will it completely end the war in the ninja world?"
Facing his teacher Jiraiya, Minato Namikaze couldn't help but tell him everything in his heart.
These are not delusions, but have a basis in reality.
After hearing what Minato Namikaze said, Jiraiya smiled bitterly and shook his head and sighed.
"Yes, maybe you are right. Over the years, I also thought that Uchiha Ye was an ambitious person like Danzo, constantly expanding his influence and military power."
"No! This is completely different!" Minato Namikaze shook his head firmly and denied this idea.
"Danzo is arrogant and ambitious. He is self-centered and thinks that he is the only one who can represent Konoha. He doesn't care about the life and death of Konoha! The Fourth Hokage seems to be very ambitious, but in fact, every action he takes has a traceable cause."
When he said this, Namikaze Minato showed a rare look of admiration, opened the red book on the table, turned to a certain content at the beginning, and said with emotion:
"During World War II, in the Rain Country, there was a record of several villages using powerful military deterrence during the chaos, and forming alliances to govern themselves. Powerful military deterrence does cause dissatisfaction, but it also effectively suppresses the evil within.
On the other hand, the mutual alliance relies on personal morality, and greed will eventually prevail and then explode. In addition, the small countries in recent years, such as the Snow Country, would have fallen into turmoil long ago if we had not stationed troops in Konoha..."
At this time, Minato Namikaze shook his head and said with emotion: "Teacher Jiraiya, the reform of the ninja world will be a huge project. To the superiors of countless ninja villages, we may be demons, but what about after the bloodshed?"
Namikaze Minato spoke out all his thoughts. Uchiha Ye's ambition was to make them clearly see the hope of peace, rather than just empty promises.
Jiraiya naturally understood this, but when he thought of the words of the Toad Sage, he could only sigh with melancholy.
"This world will usher in an unprecedented disaster. The child of destiny and the devil will appear at the same time. The victory of the devil will mean that the ninja world will fall into chaos..."
Seeing Jiraiya talking about the prophecy of fate again, Minato Namikaze frowned slightly, then lowered his voice and said:
"Teacher Jiraiya, I no longer believe in fate. I only believe that power can change everything!"
Seeing Jiraiya's astonished expression, his disciple Minato Namikaze looked at his wife and Naruto in the direction of the kitchen with his blue eyes and revealed a determined smile.
"Uchiha Ye possesses absolute power, so he is never afraid of powerful ninjas appearing in Konoha. Many of the precious secret-level ninjutsu and even forbidden ninjutsu that are beyond the reach of many jonin in the village can be learned as long as they are loyal.
And the ninja world has begun to change. The will of fire has given ninjas dignity! Now I don’t have to worry about myself, let alone Naruto and the others. "
Jiraiya fell silent after listening to Minato Namikaze's words.
Namikaze Minato was almost telling him that Uchiha Ya was not afraid of his power at all, and even countless ninjas in Konoha were the same.
The regime of the Third Hokage seemed benevolent, but in fact it was very secretive and wary of any power beyond its control.
Looking at the current Uchiha Ye, the combination of Senju and Uchiha, the power is undoubtedly the strongest!
"I'm old, I really am old. Over the years, I have drifted further and further away from Orochimaru, Tsunade and the others."
Watching everyone begin to accept Uchiha Ye's will, not just understanding it, but also beginning to accept and believe in it in their hearts.
Even his companions and disciples were like this, which made Jiraiya look a little confused at this moment.
What have you been pursuing all these years?
If one or two people left him, he might think that others had changed, but now almost everyone around him has left.
Even Minato!
Thinking of this, Jiraiya slowly raised his wine glass, while Minato Namikaze on the opposite side raised his wine glass with an apologetic look on his face.
"Teacher Jiraiya, I'm sorry. Maybe what I said just now was a bit harsh, but I just don't want you to be further away from us."
After seeing that his disciple Minato was actually enlightening him, Jiraiya burst into laughter with great pleasure.
"Yoyo, Minato you're saying the teacher has been running away right?"
"Ahem, Jiraiya-sensei..."
"Well, teacher, you're not stupid. Orochimaru, Tsunade, and you are all like this. It seems that I have been getting further and further away from you over the years. Although I still can't understand it, I, Jiraiya, will not fall behind and get further and further away from you!"
As Jiraiya laughed and the crisp sound of wine glasses clinking, Minato Namikaze also breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.
When there are countless people around you saying that he is wrong, you will think that he is really wrong!
But if the people around you gradually distance themselves from you and say that they are right to do so, then you will fall into self-doubt and wonder if you have distanced yourself from them without realizing it?
This is human nature!
