Kisame nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
His hands Hand Seals: "Water Release·Water Shark Bullet Technique!"
In an instant, two sharks formed by high-intensity water flow jumped out of the water at the same time, opened their large mouths and swallowed Kisame and Itachi Uchiha into their bodies respectively.
The two water sharks flicked their tails violently, and their huge bodies accelerated and slid on the lake, dragging two white water marks and quickly escaping towards the high-speed river outside the forest.
"Stop, don't run!"
Jiraiya stood above Gamabunta and shouted in the direction where the two disappeared.
But the speed of the two sharks is too fast, especially on this artificial lake created by Kisame using Water Release. In this environment, the shark-shaped pursuit Ninjutsu is basically the home field.
The two water sharks quickly disappeared at the end of the forest, leaving only ripples that gradually subsided.
Naruto jumped from the woods to a rock and looked in the direction Itachi Uchiha left.
The character Itachi Uchiha in the previous life has caused endless debate among Hokage fans.
Some people think that he is Shinobi World's greatest brother, while others believe that no matter how noble the motive is, the fact of massacring his compatriots can never be washed away.
Naruto himself stands on the blurred dividing line between the two views. He understands Itachi's situation and the despair of being forced to make a choice back then, but he also knows that some things cannot be washed clean no matter how hard he washes them.
But these are not important anymore, Itachi's body can no longer hold on for long, and there is not much time left for him to appear in front of Sasuke.
What Naruto can do is to prevent Sasuke from being crushed by the truth on the day Itachi falls.
"Let's go, Pervy Sage."
"If we delay any longer, we won't be able to reach Adofo Street before dark."
Jiraiya lifted Summoning Technique and jumped to Naruto's side.
"Kisame That guy's Chakra was so large that it left bite marks on my skin in several places!"
Gamabunta complained before leaving.
"Trouble, Gamabunta!"
Jiraiya responded with a few words, and Gamabunta turned into white smoke and returned to Mount Myoboku.
The water in the lake recedes at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Jiraiya stood in front of Naruto, folded his hands on his chest, and looked at Naruto up and down with a serious expression.
When he was fighting with Kisame just now, he was afraid that something might happen to Naruto, so he kept paying some attention to the battle between Naruto and Itachi Uchiha.
He saw the two fighting at high speed in the woods, and saw Itachi Uchiha use more than one round of Sharingan Genjutsu against Naruto, and in the end Itachi even released a kind of black flame.
"I said Naruto, should you explain it to me?"
"Well, what's the explanation?"
"Why do you have such strong perception?"
"I walked for so long and didn't find those two guys. You could sense their location across a forest."
Jiraiya paused, frowned slightly, and there was a hint of worry in his tone. "And what were you and Itachi Uchiha talking about just now?"
"Although I'm fighting Kisame, I'm not blind!"
"You two at least chatted for several minutes after you stopped over there."
"That man is Itachi Uchiha, S-Rank Rogue Ninja of Konoha, and he also possesses Mangekyō Sharingan that can restrain Tailed Beast."
"He's not a character who stops and chats with people."
"Are you sure he didn't use any special illusion on you?"
"Or did he say something strange to you?"
Naruto chuckled when he heard this, "Pervy Sage, it's getting dark soon."
"It's still a long way from here to Adofo Street. Let's get there first and find a place to stay, and then we can chat slowly after dinner!"
"Talk about things on an empty stomach is not in line with my "forbearance" philosophy."
"Since when did you have this kind of forbearance?"
Jiraiya's eyebrows jumped, and finally he released his arms from his chest.
He glanced at the sunset glow on the horizon, then at Naruto, and then sighed.
"Okay, Adofo Street, give me a clear explanation."
"If you miss one word, I will cross you off the Hokage candidate list."
Naruto nodded and took the lead.
Jiraiya followed behind him, going over what happened today in his mind as he walked.
The two quickened their pace and arrived at Adofo Street before the light disappeared.
This town is not big, but because it is located at the intersection of several official roads, businessmen, traveling ninjas and artists who make a living all like to stay here, so the entire main street is brightly lit.
The streets are lined with various stalls, and the smell of burnt fish mixed with various flavors permeates the streets.
Jiraiya found a hotel with ease, opened the wooden door and said hello to the proprietress behind the counter.
He teased the landlady from ear to ear with his sweet tongue, and quickly booked two adjacent rooms at a good price.
After putting away their luggage, the two went out to find a place to eat.
Naruto was not polite throughout the whole process and ordered a lot of food, each of which was a high-protein and highly nutritious dish.
He has developed a habit of giving priority to supplementing high-quality food whenever possible, and using Absolute Control to absorb it, he can replenish his body's depleted foundation bit by bit when he was a child.
Jiraiya had no appetite. There was only a plate of salted edamame and a small pot of sake in front of him. He peeled the edamame and put it in his mouth.
After dinner, he returned to the hotel. Jiraiya closed the door, took off his clogs, crossed his arms, and showed the same serious expression on his face as before.
"Well, Pervy Sage, if you have anything to ask, just ask."
Naruto sat down opposite Jiraiya and poured himself a glass of water.
Jiraiya cleared his throat and raised a thick finger. "The first thing is your perception."
"Two S-Rank Rogue Ninja were hiding in the dark and following us. Even I didn't sense where they were hiding right away, but not only did you sense them, you also accurately said they were malicious."
"How did you do it?"
"Have you learned Senjutsu's perception from Toad of Mount Myoboku? But I haven't heard Gamabunta say it!"
"Or do you have some kind of special Kekkei Genkai?"
"I do have a special perceptual ability. I can sense the good intentions and bad intentions of others towards me."
"Those two people have been following us since we left the official road. Their ill intentions towards me were very clear, so I noticed it immediately."
"What?"
"Sense other people's kindness and malice?"
Jiraiya's eyes widened, the tea cup in his hand stopped in mid-air, and a circle of imperceptible ripples appeared on the surface of the tea.
A name came to his mind for a moment - Mito Uzumaki.
The wife of First Hokage Hashirama Senju, the first Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha, the princess of Uzumaki clan, and the elder of the same clan as Naruto's mother Kushina Uzumaki.
Mito Uzumaki possesses a kind of perception ability that is extremely rare in the entire Shinobi World.
She can judge whether there are enemies nearby by sensing the malice and kindness others have towards her.
This ability on the battlefield is almost equivalent to having a perception that can never be attacked by a sneak attack Barrier.
Jiraiya slowly put the tea cup back on the table, looking at Naruto, his eyes slowly changed from shock to complicated distress.
He speculated that the awakening of this kind of perceptual ability may be directly related to Naruto living in an environment surrounded by malicious people since he was a child.
Over the years, when the villagers of Konoha saw Naruto on the street, they had undisguised disgust in their eyes, pointed at him with dark thoughts in the dark, and vented their fear and angry malice on him.
Day after day, year after year, these things wash away a child's immature Chakra perception system.
Naruto was forced out of this village step by step during his childhood when he had no choice.
Thinking of this, Jiraiya's fists unconsciously clenched on his knees, but they soon relaxed.
