In the Hokage's office, Naruto stared in disbelief.
" Hokage, are you kidding me?! This lecherous old man is actually stronger Kakashi-sensei? You're kidding me!"
The Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, with an unlit cigarette dangling from his mouth, said, " Jiraiya has been away all this time, so it's normal that your generation hasn't heard of him."
" Jiraiya, you must have some information to share with you this time."
"A little, but I don't know if it's accurate. Orochimaru is coming to Konoha," Jiraiya said lazily, rubbing Orange's fur with both hands.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tian realized that the butterfly storm he experienced during his journey hadn't affected this situation. "Should we let Sasuke be taken away?"
If he doesn't want to, he can have the Heavenly Dao Body block him.
However, given Sasuke's training methods, even if he trained until he was eighteen, he still wouldn't be able to defeat Itachi. Orochimaru has a lot of advanced technology, and the power of the Cursed Seal of Heaven is one of the ways to Sasuke stronger.
Xiao Tian had a plan in mind: first, farm Orochimaru's points, then do this and that...
" Orochimaru..." The Third Hokage remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "I hope he doesn't disrupt the Chunin Ninja Exams. Otherwise, I'll take back everything from back then."
"Old man, don't be so reckless. Be careful and send more ANBU to protect yourself." Jiraiya smiled.
" Jiraiya, now that you've returned to the village, and these two children seem to have a connection with you, why don't you teach them a lesson?"
"Old man, don't try to intimidate me with your Hokage status. I have no interest in taking on disciples, but I might teach Mieko's child. As for this blond brat, forget about him." Jiraiya sneered.
Jiraiya returned to the village and obtained a lot of information. He learned a great deal about the situation in the Land of Waves. Recalling the Great Toad Sage's prophecy, he wondered if Xiao Tian might be the Child of Prophecy.
"Tch! Who told you, you lecherous old man, to teach me? I'll just train with Xiao Tian." Naruto gave Jiraiya a look of disgust.
Xiao Tian couldn't help but purse his lips and say, " Lord Hokage, I think we should forget it. My mom doesn't let me get too close to these bad old men, or I'll be assimilated."
"You two brats! What are you saying! Do you know that there are enough people in the village who want me, Lord Jiraiya, to teach them to leave the village? And you two brats are still ungrateful for your good fortune." Jiraiya sneered.
"Oh? So Lord Jiraiya is willing to teach Naruto?" A sly glint flashed in Xiao Tian's eyes.
Jiraiya was taken aback; he had actually been outmaneuvered by a mere brat.
"Hahaha! Jiraiya, you said it yourself. I'll leave the two kids to you. Try your best to make them even stronger before the Chunin Ninja Exams."
"Alright." Jiraiya's expression immediately turned serious upon Chunin Ninja Exams.
"You two brats, come with me. Let me see what your talents are like."
A moment later, on a secluded riverbank, Jiraiya stood in the water, which barely wet his toes. He crossed his arms, looking at Xiao Tian and Naruto with an air of 'I'm awesome!' and said, 'No matter what method you use, you can't fall into the water. Get over here.'
"Haha! That was easy! Luckily I trained with Xiao Tian for so long." Naruto immediately channeled his Chakra into his feet, then walked on the river with relative ease, reaching the middle of the river.
"Huh." Jiraiya was surprised. He knew that Naruto had the Nine-Tails sealed inside him, and it was very difficult for him to control his Chakra. Yet now he had managed to control it to this extent.
He looked at the river that had rushed towards him in an instant, yet there wasn't a ripple on the surface. His lips twitched involuntarily.
He underestimated him!
