Previously, he gave most of the cash he had to Karin to pay for the room and buy daily necessities, and the remaining change was only enough to eat a few bowls of ramen on the road.
"Okay, let's wait until you come back."
"Don't worry about the final payment, you can't run away at Konoha anyway."
Tenten nodded cheerfully and put Chakra-Conductive Metal into a safe engraved with Sealing Formula.
She took out a new order note, wrote the order number and amount on it, calculated the balance amount, and handed Naruto a stub.
Naruto folded the stub in half and put it into the ninja bag, nodded to Tenten and said thank you, "Thank you very much, Tenten."
"When I come back, I'll treat you to ramen."
"Forget the ramen. Next time, just don't make Ninjutsu that's scarier than Shadow Clone Shuriken. I saw Chunin Ninja Exams on the spot. You penetrated Neji's Rotation."
Tenten leaned on the counter, folded his arms, tilted his head and looked at Naruto's back as he opened the wooden door, with a hint of ridicule in his voice.
Naruto turned around with a faint smile, then opened the door and walked into the night.
After returning to the apartment, I took off my windbreaker and threw it on the back of the chair. Naruto took a shower to wash away the dust and Uchiha Estate old dust from my body.
Hot water was poured from the shower head, and Naruto closed his eyes and went through the next plot in his mind.
After taking a shower, he folded the clothes he would wear tomorrow and placed them on the chair next to the bed, then fell asleep.
Early next morning
Soon after dawn, Naruto arrived at the entrance of the village carrying a travel bag.
At this time Jiraiya has arrived.
Seeing Naruto approaching, he raised his hand and waved to Naruto, grinning and revealing two rows of big white teeth.
"Hey, I thought I had to wait for you for a while!"
Naruto walked up to Jiraiya with a bit of surprise in his tone. Perhaps he was used to Kakashi being late, but suddenly meeting someone who was punctual made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Pervy Sage, I didn't expect you to come so early."
"Nonsense, I am not like some masked men!"
"Let's go!"
Naruto nodded, lifted his backpack onto his shoulders, and took the lead in walking towards the village gate.
Guarding the gate are still the two legends Chunin, Izumo Kamizuki and Kotetsu Hagane.
Kotetsu Hagane couldn't help but glance at Naruto when Naruto passed by, but said nothing, just nodded and continued to lean against the doorpost.
After Naruto walked out of the door, he suddenly thought of something. Speaking of it, this seemed to be the second time he stepped out of Konoha Gate.
The door of Konoha slowly becomes smaller behind you, and the breeze blows over, carrying the fresh smell of wild grass.
Just as the figures of Naruto and Jiraiya disappeared on the official road leading to Fire Country, in the other direction of the main entrance of Konoha, two figures wearing black and red cloud windbreakers stood on a high ground in the distance, looking at the village that had just breathed its last breath from the war.
One of the figures was wearing a bamboo hat with a wind chime attached to it. Under the bamboo hat was a picture of Forehead Protector with a deep ravine cut horizontally.
The other man was tall and strong, carrying a giant Ninja Blade covered with bandages on his back.
The two people did not step into the access control area of Konoha. They just stopped on the high ground for a moment, and then disappeared silently.
After leaving Konoha, Naruto and Jiraiya walked north along the official road for a while, and then turned at the first fork in the road leading to Adofo Street.
This is the first stop to find Tsunade. According to the information collected by Jiraiya, Tsunade has been rumored to be the most frequented in the Tanzaku Town area recently, and Adofo Street is the only way to Tanzaku Town.
The scenery on the road gradually changed from dense coniferous forests to open fields, and occasionally passed by one or two villages where houses were being renovated.
When the villagers saw two ninjas wearing Konoha Forehead Protector passing by, some would nod in greeting from a distance, while others would bring water from the house to ask them to rest.
The news of Third Hokage's sacrifice has spread throughout Fire Country, and the civilians along the way have a little more respect and sympathy for Konoha Ninja than usual.
Jiraiya As we walked, we finally couldn't bear it anymore.
He had been holding it in for a long time since he left the village. He originally wanted to wait for Naruto to talk about yesterday's incident first, but this kid was more calm than him along the way.
Either walk quietly, or stop to help a child on the roadside pick up a windmill stuck in a tree, without any intention of actively explaining the problem.
He quickened his pace and walked side by side with Naruto. He crossed his arms and asked in a curious tone, "Naruto, you said yesterday that integrating the wind attribute Chakra Nature Transformation into Rasengan has been completed."
"What do you mean?"
"That's what it means literally."
Naruto spoke calmly and kept walking.
Jiraiya's patience has been with Shinobi World for decades, but it can't last more than three rounds in front of this kid.
"That's what it means. You said you integrated the wind attribute Chakra Nature Transformation into Rasengan. What changes happened to Rasengan after the integration?"
"Is it getting bigger? Getting faster?"
"Or is it like when you added the thunder attribute in it before, only the paralysis effect was added but the form remained unchanged?"
Jiraiya suddenly paused mid-sentence, slowed down for half a beat, and sounded cautious:
"Rasengan is a technique left behind by Fourth Hokage, but if someone adds something else to it and doesn't tell me what it looks like, my blood pressure will be very unstable."
"Pervy Sage, don't you want to see it with your own eyes?"
Naruto tilted his head, with a faint smile on his lips.
Jiraiya was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously.
Of course he wanted to see Rasengan's Shape Transformation before moving on to Chakra Nature Transformation Fusion. This was something Minato had conceived but had no time to complete with his own hands.
If Naruto has really achieved this step, it means that this child's talent in the development of Ninjutsu has surpassed that of Yellow Flash.
As someone who has personally witnessed Minato create Rasengan, Jiraiya cannot refuse to see Rasengan complete its advanced form.
"Yes, yes..."
Naruto put his hands into the pockets of his windbreaker. "But there are conditions. In exchange, you have to teach me more advanced moves."
"Don't you want to practice other attributes Chakra?"
"Why do you still have the energy to learn advanced moves?"
"Don't you understand the principle of biting off more than you can chew Naruto?"
"You now have Rasengan, Shadow Clone Shuriken, Wind Release: Vacuum Blade, and Summoning Technique. These and your Shadow Clone Training Method are enough to keep you going twenty-four hours a day!"
Jiraiya frowned and folded his hands in front of his chest.
"No conflict."
"The training of other attributes Chakra can be accumulated slowly in daily basic training, and there will be no direct conflict in time with me learning new moves."
"And what I want to learn is not the ordinary Ninjutsu, but the kind of moves that can increase the lethality of the overall Ninjutsu system."
Naruto shook his head.
Jiraiya was silent for a moment, then refused directly.
"There is indeed such a trick."
"But this technique is too dangerous for you at your current stage."
"It is no exaggeration to say that if you are not careful, your body will turn into a stone sculpture, and even Orochimaru will be unable to use your body."
"What technique is so dangerous?"
Naruto showed a curious expression.
"Senjutsu, Sage Mode of Mount Myoboku."
Jiraiya lowered his arms from his chest and spoke in a serious tone, "The principle of Sage Mode is to absorb the ubiquitous natural energy in nature in addition to your own chakra, and merge it with your mental energy and physical energy in strict proportions to form Sage Chakra."
"The power of any Ninjutsu activated with Senjutsu Chakra will be amplified to a level unimaginable by ordinary ninjas."
"The simplest Frog Kumite, under Sage Mode, the aftermath of the Taijutsu impact alone is enough to shatter the defense of a Jōnin."
"But this power comes at a price."
