In a remote town, Itachi Uchiha was sitting in the corner of a teahouse.
He learned the full text of Konoha's announcement about Danzo from his own channels.
After reading the section about Uchiha Massacre in the announcement, a trace of mixed emotions flashed in his eyes.
Konoha really cleared the grievances of the Uchiha Clan. Although it took so many years, it was finally done.
He thought that this secret would follow him to the grave, but he never expected to see the truth made public in his lifetime.
This also made him feel increasingly pressed for time.
Sasuke needs to grow up while he can still see, and the village also needs to contribute its last effort while he can still see it.
Sound Country, below a cliff.
Sasuke Hand Seals with one hand, Chidori in the palm of his hand let out a sharp scream, and blue-white thunder light jumped crazily in the palm of his hand.
He took a deep breath and extended Lightning-Nature Chakra forward from the palm of his hand. Chidori, which was originally just a ball of lightning, was forcibly elongated and turned into a straight lightning spear, extending from the bottom of the cliff to a boulder dozens of meters away.
Chidori Sharp Spear.
The lightning pierced the surface of the boulder, leaving a deep, charred hole in the stone wall. The rock on the edge was melted by the high temperature into a glass-like black crystal.
Sasuke released his handprints and gasped for air, sweat dripping from his chin onto the gravel beneath his feet.
"As expected of Sasuke, he actually developed Chidori to this extent."
"This ability to extend the form and control distance of Lightning-Nature Chakra has gone far beyond the scope of conventional Chidori."
Sasuke turned his head and saw the figure of Orochimaru slowly walking out of the shadow of the cliff.
"Orochimaru, what do you want from me?"
Orochimaru smiled slightly, took out a scroll from his sleeve and threw it towards Sasuke.
Sasuke raised his hand to catch it, unsealed the scroll, and scanned the contents above.
Naruto Uzumaki captured Fourth Raikage A, defeated Complete Tailed Beast Transformation Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer B at the Fire Country border, and cut off Eight-Tails's tail.
It has been confirmed that Flying Raijin Technique, Uzumaki clan Kekkei Genkai Adamantine Sealing Chains, is suspected to be Kekkei Tōta Light Release.
Sasuke's eyes lingered on the last line of text for a long time.
"Crane tail, have you become so strong now?"
Sasuke said something silently in his heart.
Space-Time Ninjutsu Flying Thunder God, Kekkei Genkai Adamantine Sealing Chains, and Light Release that I have never heard of.
He is making progress, and so is Naruto, and Naruto is making progress much faster than him.
Sasuke clenched his fists tightly. "Orochimaru, I need stronger training."
"The current intensity of cultivation is far from enough."
Orochimaru The curvature of the corners of the mouth is a little deeper.
"Haha, Sasuke-kun follow me."
"I happen to have a new training program here just for you."
He turned and walked towards the back of the cliff.
Sasuke stuffed the scroll into his ninja bag and followed Orochimaru's pace without hesitation.
In the yard of Konoha, Naruto's house.
The barbecue party has ended, Konoha 12 said goodbye and left one after another, leaving only him, Hinata and Karin still cleaning up in the yard.
After cleaning up, the three of them sat around the stone table.
The yard was quiet, with only the leaves rustling in the evening breeze.
Karin was holding the tea cup, with a little pride on his face, and reported the recent cultivation results to Naruto.
"Naruto, let me tell you, I am now able to use Mystical Palm Technique proficiently. Teacher Tsunade said that my Chakra has high control accuracy and is very suitable for learning this."
"After a while, the teacher said he would teach me the basic techniques of Chakra Scalpel!"
Naruto nodded and turned to Hinata.
"Hinata How about you? How are you practicing recently?"
Hinata lowered his head. "I have been practicing the advanced footwork of Eight Trigrams Palm recently, and I have indeed made some progress, but compared with the progress of Naruto-kun..."
Her voice became softer and softer, until finally it was almost inaudible.
"Hinata's Gentle Fist takes a precise route, which is different from my fighting style."
"You Hyuga Clan's Eight Trigrams Palm have been trained to such a high level that they can block all the Chakra acupuncture points on the enemy's body. This is a top-notch ability in both offense and defense on the battlefield."
"Don't deny yourself just because your progress is temporarily slow.
Hinata raised his head and looked at Naruto. The moonlight shone on Naruto's black hair, which was still slightly raised at the end.
Her cheeks turned a light pink in the moonlight, and she nodded solemnly.
"Well, I will continue to work hard, Naruto-kun."
It was getting late, Hinata and Karin got up to say goodbye.
After watching the two people leave, Naruto closed the courtyard door and walked back to the room. After a brief wash, he lay on the bed with his hands behind his head and looked at the ceiling.
After thinking about the next direction of my practice, I fell asleep slowly!
The next day
Naruto had just woken up. After a brief wash, he was ready to continue testing the strengthening power of Heavenly Constant Stand.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Naruto put down what he was doing, turned around, walked through the living room and opened the door.
I saw Jiraiya folding his arms over his chest with a proud expression on his face.
"Pervy Sage, why are you here?"
"Tsunade's mother-in-law has a mission?"
Naruto stepped aside to let Jiraiya in, but Jiraiya waved his hand and had no intention of coming in.
"Naruto, this time I'm specially here to teach you Sage Mode!"
"How's it going? Are you excited?"
After speaking, Jiraiya paused for a moment, waiting to see Naruto's reaction with his eyes shining.
Naruto was indeed a little surprised when he heard this.
Ever since Tanzaku Town returned to the village, he has been waiting for Jiraiya to fulfill this promise.
"I'm not too excited, but it's quite unexpected."
"I thought you had forgotten about it."
"Ahem, this is it!"
Jiraiya's expression visibly dropped when he heard this, and he coughed twice to hide his embarrassment:
"There are really a lot of things going on in the village these days. There are meetings at Tsunade every three days. I can't leave even if I want to."
"That's why it has been delayed for so long, but now that everything is done, I will come to fulfill my promise as soon as possible!"
Naruto nodded, and he didn't care.
If Jiraiya is willing to teach, he will learn.
"When will we leave?"
"If there's nothing else, you can leave now."
"But Sage Mode's cultivation will take at least a month or two. You'd better go say hello to your friends first."
"I'll wait for you at the entrance of the village."
After saying that, Jiraiya turned around and walked in the direction of Konoha Gate.
Naruto Seeing this, he turned around and walked into the house, simply packed a few changes of clothes and put them into his backpack.
Then he put on his backpack and left the villa. Instead of saying goodbye first, he turned towards the commercial street in Konoha Ninja district.
Pushing open the door of Ninja Tool Exchange, the bell on the door jingled.
There were no other customers in the store, Tenten was not there, and sitting behind the counter was Tenten's father.
A middle-aged man with gray hair raised his head and saw Naruto walking in. He quickly put down the account book in his hand and stood up.
"Naruto Jōnin?"
Naruto smiled, "Tenten Dad, I want to buy a batch of blank scrolls."
He used the blank scroll too quickly during this period, and the blank scroll in his hand had bottomed out.
Tenten's father immediately asked, "Okay, Naruto Jōnin How much do you want?"
Naruto thought for a while and reported the number, "Fifty."
Tenten The father was stunned and blank Sealing Scroll Normally, this kind of thing would not sell so much in a month.
