"Naruto, why don't we just leave?"
"This guy seems like a lunatic."
Sakura Haruno whispered to Uzumaki Naruto.
"He's not a lunatic."
Uzumaki Naruto shook his head and smiled.
"Jiraiya, one of the former Konoha Three Sannin, and the direct disciple of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi."
"He possesses power even greater than that of ordinary Kage-level experts."
"Because his summoning beast is a giant toad, he is also praised by the world as the Toad Sage."
"Am I right?"
Uzumaki Naruto looked at Jiraiya and said slowly.
He wanted to see,
what the other party was really up to.
"Brat, not bad."
"You've actually heard of my name."
Jiraiya showed a proud smile.
He hadn't expected,
that after so many years away from Konoha,
his prestige remained undiminished, even known by such a brat.
"The direct disciple of the Third Hokage?"
"Then… then did I cause trouble?"
Sakura Haruno's mouth widened in surprise.
Although she couldn't connect the lewd man in front of her with the Third Hokage's disciple.
But since Naruto said so, it should be correct.
Did she cause trouble?
"It's fine."
Uzumaki Naruto patted Sakura Haruno's shoulder, then walked in front of Jiraiya.
"Jiraiya-sama, what brings you to us this time?"
Uzumaki Naruto asked.
Although he didn't plan to participate in anything ostentatiously, he now possessed power beyond Kage-level experts.
There was no need to pretend to be foolish like before.
"Hmm?"
"What do you mean by that?"
Jiraiya asked with a puzzled expression.
"Jiraiya-sama, put away your clumsy acting."
"I've already checked; there are no female Ninja training in the training ground."
"What you just said was merely to get our attention, wasn't it?"
Uzumaki Naruto said calmly.
After hearing him, Sakura Haruno and Uchiha Sasuke quickly looked into the training ground.
They found it was indeed empty.
There were no female Ninja fighting!
"Damn it!"
Uchiha Sasuke clenched his fists.
He was outdone by Naruto again!
When would he finally be able to stand out?
"What a perceptive brat."
"Just like back then…"
Jiraiya mumbled, then his expression also became serious.
"Brat, from now on, you'll be my disciple."
What?
Hearing Jiraiya's words, Uchiha Sasuke felt an unknown surge of anger rise in his heart again.
A Kage-level expert actually wanted to proactively take Naruto as his disciple?
What a joke?
His talent was clearly so much better than Naruto's, so why didn't he take him as a disciple?
Even Uchiha Sasuke himself wasn't sure,
how many times he had envied Naruto like this.
"Your reason?"
Uzumaki Naruto asked calmly.
It seemed,
he didn't take the other party's intention to take him as a disciple to heart.
"You are the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki."
"I can help you control the Nine-Tailed better."
Jiraiya said in a deep voice.
"You should know that I have reconciled with the Nine-Tailed."
"I no longer have the risk of going berserk."
"So… that's not your real reason."
Uzumaki Naruto smiled.
"Sigh... I can't hide anything from you."
Jiraiya's face showed a helpless, bitter smile.
"I can't tell you the real reason, but if you become my disciple, I can teach you many things."
"Is it this?"
Hearing Jiraiya's words, Uzumaki Naruto extended his hand.
The next second,
a sky-blue Chakra sphere appeared in his palm.
"Rasengan?"
"How did you...!"
Seeing the Rasengan, Jiraiya's face showed a look of shock.
How was this possible?
"Kurama told me many things."
"But don't worry, I won't do anything to the Village."
"Hahahahaha... Jiraiya-sama, we still have to train, goodbye..."
Uzumaki Naruto smiled and left with Sakura and Sasuke.
"It seems I still returned a little late."
Jiraiya watched Uzumaki Naruto's departing back, a hint of loneliness on his face.
Ever since Orochimaru's defection, he had also left the Village.
It wasn't until his return this time that he learned many things about Naruto.
Therefore, he took the initiative to propose that Naruto become his disciple.
His purpose was to let Naruto live a life away from his dark past, under his protection.
But he hadn't expected to return a bit late.
Naruto had already learned many things through the Nine-Tailed.
He had learned the Rasengan and become a perfect Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki.
The current Naruto no longer needed him to do anything.
Sigh... Jiraiya sighed.
He didn't plan to tell Hiruzen Sarutobi about today's events.
He was completely disappointed with his teacher.
As long as Naruto didn't plan to attack the Village, he would let nature take its course.
"I didn't expect to meet Jiraiya today."
"This tragic figure from the original story is truly nostalgic."
Looking at the contents of the diary, The women all widened their eyes curiously.
After all, Jiraiya's name was renowned throughout the Ninja World.
To be able to read about his story, The women were very excited.
Only Tsunade, who was currently searching the entire world for Uzumaki Naruto, narrowed her eyes.
Tragic figure?
That was not a good description.
Thinking of a certain possibility, Tsunade found a place and began to seriously read the contents of the diary.
"When Jiraiya was young, although his talent was poor and he was a loser at the Ninja Academy, he was unexpectedly chosen by Hiruzen Sarutobi to become the Hokage's personal disciple."
"However, after becoming the Hokage's disciple, Jiraiya's life was severely impacted."
"His teammate Orochimaru, although a commoner Ninja, was the number one genius in Konoha at the time."
"Tsunade, needless to say, was the princess of the Senju Clan, showered with endless affection."
"Only Jiraiya was scolded daily, used as a negative example."
"However, Jiraiya's carefree personality meant he was completely unaffected by these things."
"And he would send love letters to Tsunade every day."
"Though he always got beaten up."
Reading this,
Tsunade couldn't help but let out a chuckle.
A nostalgic expression also appeared on her face.
Yes,
back then, when she was young,
she didn't like being pestered by Jiraiya, so she often beat him up.
"Later, through his own efforts and as his inherent talent began to emerge, Jiraiya's strength grew day by day."
"During the Second Great Ninja War, along with Orochimaru and Tsunade, he was bestowed the title of 'Three Sannin' by Hanzou, the 'Demigod of the Ninja World' at the time."
"With countless battles, Jiraiya successfully became a Kage-level expert."
"One day, the Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku told Jiraiya that a 'Child of Prophecy' who could bring change to the Ninja World had appeared in his dream."
"The Child of Prophecy could bring peace to the Ninja World, or it could bring disaster."
"To find the Child of Prophecy, Jiraiya began to travel the Ninja World."
"In the Land of Rain, Jiraiya discovered Nagato, who possessed the Rinnegan."
"Jiraiya believed that Nagato was the legendary Child of Prophecy."
"Therefore, he took Nagato, Konan, and Yahiko as his disciples."
"After teaching them survival skills, he left alone."
In a certain inn in Konoha Village, Konan gently placed the paper crane in her hand.
Back then,
Teacher Jiraiya took them in after seeing Nagato's Rinnegan.
He gave them food and taught them Ninjutsu.
Teacher Jiraiya once said that Nagato might very well be the Child of Prophecy who could bring change to the Ninja World in the future.
Upon hearing this news, Yahiko, Nagato, and she were all very excited.
Yahiko also founded the Akatsuki, and began to work tirelessly for the organization.
Unfortunately,
Yahiko died.
Nagato's personality also changed drastically, altering his original ideals, wanting to collect Tailed Beasts and rely on absolute power to deter the Ninja World, thereby bringing peace.
Originally, she didn't care.
After all,
Nagato was the Child of Prophecy,
even if his ideas changed, they must still be correct.
But now,
after learning the contents of the diary, Konan understood.
The true Child of Prophecy was not Nagato, but Uzumaki Naruto.
To save Nagato's life, she absolutely could not stand against Naruto.
Fortunately,
Naruto called her "Konan-wife" in the diary.
There was still hope.
"Unfortunately, Jiraiya didn't know that he would eventually die at the hands of his own disciple."
Reading this,
Konan's pupils constricted.
Teacher Jiraiya would die at Nagato's hands?
"Later, Yahiko died at the hands of Danzo Shimura and Hanzou."
"Under Uchiha Obito's temptation, Nagato's personality changed drastically, and he formulated a plan to collect Tailed Beasts."
"As the Tailed Beasts of other Villages were captured, Konoha also began to investigate the Akatsuki Organization's situation."
"To gather more intelligence and protect Naruto, Jiraiya infiltrated Hidden Rain Village alone."
"He single-handedly fought the Six Paths of Pain and successfully obtained crucial intelligence."
"Unfortunately, Jiraiya was ultimately killed by Pain, controlled by Nagato, and his body sank into the sea."
"He wrote the final chapter of 'A Tale of a Gutsy Ninja' with his death."
"Thus, Jiraiya's life ended."
"A dragon should return to the sea, but the sea will not welcome me, Jiraiya!"
After writing the last stroke, Uzumaki Naruto's face showed a nostalgic expression.
Images of Jiraiya continuously surfaced in his mind.
Back then,
when he saw Jiraiya slowly sink into the bottom of the sea, his mood was very low.
He was very fond of Jiraiya.
Even until the very end, he kept hoping that Jiraiya would reappear.
Even if it was through Edo Tensei.
Unfortunately,
until the end of Shippuden, there were no more storylines related to Jiraiya.
This filled him with regret.
But fortunately, this time he had the chance to change Jiraiya's tragedy.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations to the host for completing a diary entry, you have received the reward: Flying Thunder God Technique!"
"Ding!"
"Congratulations to the host for perfecting 'Jiraiya's Biography.' The diary has unlocked a new function: Microfilm."
"Anything the host writes about the original work will automatically generate a corresponding video!"
"Ding!"
"Microfilm has been automatically generated: Jiraiya's Biography!"
As a series of system prompts sounded, Uzumaki Naruto's face showed a look of confusion.
Microfilm function?
It can generate videos of the content he wrote from the original work?
He thought he had received some amazing reward.
Is that all?
"Ah... never mind, this isn't bad either."
"I can watch it when I'm bored later, just to reminisce about my youth."
Uzumaki Naruto shrugged.
Although he was already very familiar with the plot of the original work, he wouldn't refuse to watch it again when he had nothing to do.
Better than nothing, he supposed.
Besides,
Didn't the system also reward him with the "Flying Thunder God Technique"?
This was a good thing!
Thinking of this,
Uzumaki Naruto put away his diary and took out a kunai from his ninja tool pouch.
Holding the hilt of the kunai, Uzumaki Naruto's mind stirred.
The next second,
An inconspicuous, complex mark appeared on the hilt of the kunai.
"As expected of a system reward, it succeeded on the first try."
Looking at the kunai in his hand, Uzumaki Naruto smiled.
Then,
He threw the kunai forward with force, and the kunai instantly flew nearly a hundred meters.
The next second,
Uzumaki Naruto's figure also disappeared.
Almost at the same time,
Uzumaki Naruto reappeared near the kunai a hundred meters away.
"Spatial movement..."
"What a great power."
Uzumaki Naruto took the kunai in his hand and couldn't help but exclaim.
No matter how fast the Body Flicker Technique was, movement still required time.
Moreover,
During movement, one also had to constantly adjust direction to avoid hitting obstacles.
If used continuously, it also put a great burden on the body.
But the Flying Thunder God Technique was different.
As a spatial Ninjutsu,
No matter how far the distance, or how many obstacles there were in between,
As long as he could sense the mark and had enough Chakra, he could instantly appear at the corresponding location.
It could be said that,
Once he mastered Flying Thunder God,
He was already invincible.
As long as he didn't seek death himself,
No one could kill him.
"Flying Thunder God Technique plus Rasengan, coupled with Kurama Chakra Mode..."
"Tsk tsk tsk, I don't even know how I could lose!"
Uzumaki Naruto said confidently.
Then,
He made several more flying thunder god kunai and began to practice continuously.
Although the skills rewarded by the system would automatically be maxed out, to exert their maximum power in combat in conjunction with other attack methods, he still needed to cultivate himself.
Uzumaki Naruto didn't know that,
Just as he was diligently cultivating, The women who were reading the diary were already too shocked to speak.
On the diary,
The originally pure white pages now began to play scenes like a movie.
A boy with white hair was proudly showing off to his teacher and teammates.
"I, the great one, have created a new Ninjutsu based on the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique."
Seeing the curious gazes of his teacher and teammates, the boy reached into his ninja tool pouch.
"All Shuriken Throwing Technique!"
Dozens of shuriken were thrown simultaneously by the boy.
Seeing this scene,
The boy's teacher's mouth twitched, and his teammate with vertical pupils helplessly covered his forehead.
A girl with a golden ponytail angrily stepped forward and punched the boy away.
"Jiraiya, you idiot!"
Looking at the scene in the diary, Tsunade's mouth curled into a smile.
This diary was truly amazing; it could record past events so clearly.
So,
Is this how our world exists in Naruto's eyes?
