The alert Jiraiya stopped himself from doing something reckless.
This matter definitely needs to be done, but who will take the lead?
Jiraiya didn't think for long before quickly locking onto his target.
" Naruto is the Child of Prophecy ordained by the Great Toad Sage; who else could it be?"
Jiraiya happily finalized his goal.
He completely forgot that not long ago, he hadn't thought this way.
He felt that promoting the " Naruto shortcut" and letting everyone try to master Sage Mode was equivalent to making everyone his disciple, Jiraiya, and everyone having the potential to become the Child of Prophecy.
Less than a minute later, Jiraiya changed his mind in order to make Naruto take the blame.
If you want Naruto to do something, you have to find Sasuke first.
Naruto is currently with Sasuke.
"I just hope Sasuke is almost done and will release them."
Jiraiya shook his head sadly.
If Sasuke refuses to release the person, then there's really no way for him to forcibly take them, and there's no reason he can persuade Sasuke.
After all, he developed Sage Mode to resist the Ōtsutsuki, Sasuke's strengthening and mastery of the Rinnegan were also for the purpose of resisting the Ōtsutsuki.
With a "let's give it a try" attitude, Jiraiya returned to Amegakure and went to their door.
To Jiraiya's surprise, Sasuke Uchiha, who he once saw as cold and aloof like Orochimaru, has now become cheerful.
There was even a smile on someone's face when they were there, but it disappeared after they saw him.
" Sasuke, you seem very happy. It looks like you've improved a lot!"
Jiraiya asked tentatively.
In his view, Sasuke's happiness must be due to a breakthrough in his power.
Just like Orochimaru, if Orochimaru smiles, it must be because his research has made progress.
" Jiraiya, what are you doing here? Are you looking for Naruto?"
Sasuke frowned, but quickly guessed Jiraiya's purpose in appearing.
A boy who smiles a lot is likely to have good luck, because someone who's really unlucky can't even smile.
Just like now.
As members of the same group of four Uchiha laughing heroes, Sasuke and his brother had a very comfortable time, while Madara and Obito suffered a lot, especially Obito.
"Yes, Sasuke, you've already obtained the power of the Rinnegan, but Naruto has been stagnant lately. I took him to train."
Jiraiya nodded in agreement.
"I see."
Sasuke nodded slightly.
He also felt it was time for Naruto to improve his strength.
He can't be too selfish and really trap Naruto here, turning him into a dead last.
When the Ōtsutsuki descend, their primary target will undoubtedly be the Jinchuriki, Naruto, as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, is the most obvious one.
Even though Naruto has him and everyone else protecting him, it doesn't mean Naruto doesn't need a certain amount of power of his own.
And by constantly restricting Naruto, doesn't that mean he's afraid Naruto, this dead last, will surpass him?
"Alright, Naruto is yours now."
Sasuke looked towards the Banshō Ten'in in the room.
Naruto's entire body seemed to be grabbed and pulled towards him by an invisible hand.
Bang.
Naruto was thrown into Jiraiya's arms by the Banshō Ten'in, and at the same time the Genjutsu was broken.
"Hmm?"
Naruto groggily woke up.
Don't ask why Sasuke didn't just use Amenotejikara to teleport Naruto over.
Because using the Banshō Ten'in retrieve items involves a process, it attracts attention and is quite cool.
Amenotejikara is better suited for combat; simply transferring power without any follow-up would be too bland.
" Dead last -barrel guy, I've already dispelled the Genjutsu. Jiraiya to pick you up. Let's see when you can catch up with me."
Sasuke in a very good mood right now, and Sōton to the fullest.
Even in Tsunade's original Infinite Tsukuyomi dream world, Sasuke's parents were alive and his clan wasn't wiped out, but he still felt very frustrated because he was overshadowed by Naruto.
Of course, that was actually due to Tsunade's prejudice against Sasuke.
In reality, Sasuke showed "jealousy" towards Naruto after he surpassed him in strength, but in fact, it was because he saw himself as an avenger and pursued power that he had such thoughts.
Sasuke, who has both parents, would never have such feelings for Naruto, and thus would not defect.
Just like now.
Sasuke awakens the Mangekyo, then the Eternal Mangekyo through eye swapping, and finally obtains the Rinnegan by eating delicious food—it's all happening almost consecutively, with very little opportunity for him to use it separately in between.
Unlike in the original story, where he had to endure a severe beating before or after each advancement.
Before Sasuke awakened his Mangekyou Mangekyo, he was actually quite weaker than Naruto.
However, he did not harbor any resentment towards Naruto because of this.
So it was true.
The original Tsunade Infinite Tsukuyomi storyline is truly filled with the arrogance and prejudice of the Konoha Senju.
" Sasuke, what happened to your eyes? Were you hypnotized?!"
Naruto had just come to his senses when he stood up and met Sasuke's eyes. He was shocked and extremely worried, so he stepped forward and grabbed Sasuke's shoulder.
Circle eyes.
Doesn't this mean fainting or being hypnotized?
"Hypnotize you, my foot! This is the Rinnegan of the Sage of Six Paths! The leader of Akatsuki Organization also has this eye. Didn't you see it when you came?"
Jiraiya, speechless, gave Naruto a sharp rap on the head.
How could Naruto, such a young child, behave like this? His mind is full of such filth. Who corrupted him?
" The Sage of Six Paths?!"
Naruto was shocked.
"Okay, now you understand."
Jiraiya nodded in satisfaction.
"..."
Naruto looked conflicted, but ultimately decided not to say anything. He turned to Jiraiya, " Pervy Sage, how am I supposed to improve my strength now? I feel like I've been asleep for ages."
Let's talk as we walk.
Jiraiya put his arm around Naruto and walked outside.
The two traveled all the way to the location of the Flying Thunder Array Squad and returned to Konoha.
With the emergence of the Flying Thunder Array, the Shinobi World is increasingly resembling Shinichi Naruto.
Not only is there the God of Heaven's Will, but also the national highway and the Portal.
He can easily traverse 800 li in three days.
They returned to Konoha.
Jiraiya stopped rambling on and began to seriously analyze with Naruto how he could improve his strength.
" Naruto, Nagato... the Amegakure are truly loyal to you. Even if you betray them in the future, they will still think you were just foolish, not that you have a problem with your character."
Jiraiya spoke earnestly.
"... You Pervy Sage, I don't understand what you're saying, and it feels like you're insulting me?"
Naruto scratched his head, puzzled.
"In short, they've already told me how you can increase your strength and catch up with Sasuke; the core of it is the power of the Tailed Beast."
" Tailed Beast?"
"That's right, the Tailed Beast aren't just the Nine-Tails, but the power of Nine Tailed Beasts. You can try communicating with them through the Nine-Tails and see how many Tailed Beast you can connect with within your body."
Jiraiya looked at Naruto with great anticipation.
Don't ask why Naruto wasn't sent to "take care of important business".
Jiraiya needs to improve Naruto's strength first, otherwise what if Naruto really gets killed?
