Naruto: Once I come back with Senjutsu, I'll leave Sasuke in the dust!

"Yes, I recognize two of the three children, but it's strange..."

Jiraiya.

"Strange?" Tsunade asked back.

Jiraiya raised his eyes and continued, "There was another child named Nagato whom I didn't see, but his special eyes appeared in another child Yahiko, and there were five other people around him who had the same eyes."

Eye?

Tsunade frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "You mean the eyes of that child you previously thought was the Child of Prophecy?"

"Yes, it's him, but he's not in the crowd. He might be hiding."

"During the battle, I also realized a problem."

"Of the six people with the same eyes, Yahiko was the dominant one, while the other five didn't say a word. They didn't seem like living people to me."

"Not a living person...?"

Tsunade had never seen the Six Paths of Pain, so she couldn't imagine what it was like.

Jiraiya nodded. "Nagato's eyes are very special; it's impossible for so many to appear. It's very likely that those eyes were a low-end version created by Yahiko using Nagato's eye abilities."

"Oh, right," Jiraiya added, remembering something, "That mysterious Masked Man who unleashed the Nine-Tails Attack back then was also in that organization."

"As expected, those people in Akatsuki Organization are all rogue ninja." Tsunade clenched her fist.

"And the Hanzo is also dead; he was killed by Pain."

Even Hanzo...

Tsunade was surprised.

Their titles originated from this Hanzo, but little did we know they had already been killed long ago.

Just as Tsunade and Jiraiya were realizing that the Akatsuki Organization was quite troublesome, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

"Bang!"

The door to the Hokage's Office was pushed open, and a blond-haired figure barged in.

"Granny Tsunade! Has the Jiraiya returned?!"

Naruto asked, panting.

Then, the next second, he saw Jiraiya staring at him from the side.

"Haha, I knew the Jiraiya would be alright...?"

As Naruto spoke, he noticed Jiraiya's empty sleeve, and his pupils immediately contracted.

"Jiraiya... your hand..."

"Haha, it's just an arm. Luckily, Kanami saved me."

Jiraiya scratched his head with his right hand and smiled.

"What did you say?! How can Ninja Hand Seals if they don't have hands?!"

Naruto stared at Jiraiya's empty sleeve, his expression complex.

"Didn't you say you'd take me to Mount Myōboku to learn Senjutsu when you got back? How can I go in your current state?!"

Naruto shouted loudly.

He was actually worried about what would happen to Jiraiya in the future.

But he couldn't express himself.

No one taught him how to properly express his emotions when worrying about others; he only subconsciously blamed them.

However, Jiraiya and Tsunade could easily sense his emotions.

"Yes, I'll go. I said I'd take you, and I definitely will. I also think you might be a one-in-a-million genius in Senjutsu, hahaha!"

Jiraiya smiled.

"Speaking of which, why was it Kanami who saved you? Isn't Kanami just a Genin like me? Even if he saved Konoha, he shouldn't be involved in a battle like yours, Jiraiya, right?"

Naruto remembered something Jiraiya had said earlier, so he asked in confusion.

Jiraiya raised an eyebrow slightly.

Naruto has taken Kanami as his rival. No wonder he suddenly decided to learn Senjutsu.

It seems they've gotten into a rivalry with Kanami.

It seems that Kanami, who was his contemporary, had a significant impact on him.

Fortunately, it's not a bad thing.

He smiled slightly, "Although Kanami is Genin, he has mastered Senjutsu, which allows him to get involved in my battle and thus gives him the opportunity to save me."

"Really?! Senjutsu is really that powerful?! It can make me go directly from Genin to Chunin... no, Jonin?"

Naruto said excitedly.

Currently, among his peers who are still Genin, only he, the arrogant Sasuke, and the suddenly rising Kanami remain.

From his perspective, Kanami suddenly and rapidly became a very powerful Ninja, which always gave him a sense of unreality.

Upon hearing Tsunade, Tsunade glanced Jiraiya.

Using this method to motivate Naruto, even after surviving the ordeal, is still just as unreliable!

Although she thought so, she didn't expose Jiraiya's lie.

The main problem is that Kanami is just too strong. If he were to reveal all his strength, it wouldn't be an encouragement, but rather a blow.

People can only be motivated to move forward when their strengths are not too different; if the difference is too great, it will only make people feel despair.

"Hmph, even if you've mastered Senjutsu Mode, you still have to pass the Chunin exam to become Jonin!"

Tsunade gave a soft snort.

Naruto pursed his lips, narrowed his eyes, and muttered under his breath, "Once I master Senjutsu Mode, passing the Chunin exam will be a piece of cake."

"Alright, you don't need to worry about how I'll Hand Seals now that I don't have hands."

Jiraiya spoke, he jumped into the air and immediately formed a simple Shadow Clone Jutsu with his feet.

"See? I can Hand Seals with my feet."

"Jiraiya, you can even Hand Seals with your feet!"

Naruto's eyes sparkled.

But it quickly faded away.

Seeing Jiraiya, Jiraiya walked up to Naruto and placed his right hand on his head. "It's alright, go back and prepare. We'll set off for Mount Myōboku immediately!"

Tsunade frowned slightly. "Wait a few days before going. There's still a chance your arm can be treated. Danzō's Root Base still has Hashirama Cells left over from back then."

Jiraiya shook his head in rejection. "It's very difficult to achieve a perfect match with the First Hokage's cells, and creating a matching arm using Hashirama Cells would take an even longer time."

As he spoke, he looked at Naruto.

The Akatsuki Organization's target is the Tailed Beast, and Naruto doesn't have much time left.

"Let Naruto go first..."

"No!"

Naruto shouted.

"Granny Tsunade, you must help the Jiraiya heal his left arm. I can go to Mount Myōboku myself."

His gaze was firm and serious, and in an instant he shed his former naiveté.

"..." Jiraiya.

"Cultivating Senjutsu is truly dangerous; if something goes wrong..."

"I know I will die, but I won't die. I, Naruto Uzumaki, will absolutely not die before I become Hokage."

Naruto Uzumaki's blue eyes were clear and resolute.

Jiraiya froze instantly.

He was infected.

As expected, Naruto Uzumaki, you perfectly match the protagonist Naruto in my book.

Jiraiya's expression gradually softened.

"Then go ahead. Have the Toad of Mount Myōboku use Reverse Summoning Jutsu to get there. Remember, you must be completely focused when practicing Senjutsu."

"Understood, Jiraiya."

"Go ahead, Naruto. I'll definitely heal this guy. It's just a transplanted arm."

Tsunade smiled and encouraged them, her eyes narrowed.

Naruto nodded. "Jiraiya, Granny Tsunade, I'll go back and pack my things and then I'll leave."

After saying goodbye to the two, he went home to pack his things.

Kanami, thank you for saving the Jiraiya, but I will definitely become stronger than you!

When my Senjutsu return, I'll show you what I'm made of!

Oh right, and there's that arrogant Sasuke too, he's way ahead of him!

Meanwhile, Kanami had his Wood Clone buy things in the village's Commercial Street.

He planned to buy some desserts before going back.

It wasn't just that he was craving something sweet; he also realized that he hadn't bought Hinata any sweets in a long time.

Before long, Kanami had several white plastic bags in his hand.

He lifted the bag and muttered to himself, "I've bought Cinnamon Roll and Anko paste... I'll see if there are any other desserts. I wonder what that little brat Hanabi likes. Oh well, she'll eat whatever her sister eats anyway."
