My ninjutsu is not right

Chapter 145 Exchange of Information
More than an hour later, at the original site of Orochimaru's base.

"despair"

Link stopped and looked at the completely collapsed base, letting the shadows spread out to search the area.

[Did Orochimaru come here? Or did someone else come and destroy the base?]

As he was thinking, a shadow reminded him that someone was approaching secretly.

"Snap!" The sound of breaking branches was heard, and the three shadows who tried to subdue the intruder were instantly caught by the long white hair. Then the shadows turned into two dimensions and flowed to the ground, and then returned to the shadows after hearing the order.

"Master Jiraiya." Link stood on the tree, looking down at one of the three ninjas who had landed, and said, "What's the matter?"

His tone was still polite and courteous. After all, he was a candidate for the next Hokage, although there was a high probability that the other party would not accept him.

[It is indeed a very strange technique. The secret technique of the Nara family could never reach this level.]

Jiraiya thought for a moment and said, "You're here for Orochimaru as well, right?" He asked the question in an affirmative tone.

He was a person who usually collected intelligence, and he had heard something about the other party taking the daimyo's son with him.

After completing the mission, it is obviously not a direct route back to the village, so the only way is to go to the Orochimaru base that has attracted much attention in River Country recently.

"To be precise, I am the first outsider to come to this base." Link corrected, "I came here and captured Orochimaru's subordinate Kabuto Yakushi, but I encountered a member of Akatsuki and lost that guy."

"I see." Jiraiya said, "I discovered some time ago that Orochimaru had already quit that organization."

"Also, do you know why they came to the Land of Rivers?"

[Akatsuki, all the members are wanted S-rank rebels with serious problems] He smelled something bad.

"They destroyed the capital of River Country," Link answered, "and seemed to want to attack me and the Jinchuriki, but they fled after being defeated."

"That's incredible." Jiraiya's expression changed slightly. Although he had heard that the other party had repelled Orochimaru, he was still a little surprised to hear that this kid repelled the members of Akatsuki again. "But I noticed Akatsuki a long time ago. They don't seem to have any big moves. They just do some espionage operations."

"Destroying the capital of the River Country is really bold."

His expression turned serious. It was not a good sign that rebel ninjas like Orochimaru suddenly started to make big moves. First they ran to Konoha Village and attacked the special jonin of Konoha Village, and then they destroyed the capital of a country.

But this was somewhat inconsistent with the information he had obtained. According to the information he knew, Akatsuki would not start to capture the tailed beasts until three or four years later...

There may be some other factors for the sudden activity.

[Has the plot changed? ]

Link thought to himself that, theoretically, his appearance shouldn't have a big impact on the Akatsuki organization. After all, most of what he did affected Konoha and Orochimaru.

and many more.

Will Akatsuki allow a powerful Konoha to exist?
Even though the organization's goals were divided into several levels, in actual implementation, they all gathered intelligence on the Jinchūriki before Shippuden began, waiting to capture the tailed beasts in one fell swoop.

Konoha Village defeated Sand Village almost unscathed and captured its high-ranking officials and Jinchūriki. This was an unacceptable outcome for the other three major countries and for Akatsuki, who coveted the tailed beasts and wanted to achieve various goals.

Seeing how Konoha has been so popular recently, I'm afraid there are undercurrents in the international arena. If not handled properly, a war might really break out.

A fourth war not led by Akatsuki.

"This place has been completely destroyed. Orochimaru will probably never come back." Jiraiya didn't know what the kid above was thinking, he just said: "If Akatsuki is targeting you, leave the Kingdom of Rivers as soon as possible. I will collect follow-up information."

"Yeah." Link nodded in response and left. He didn't know how long he had been here. If there were any clues, he would have already dug up the ground. Don't underestimate Jiraiya's pursuit of Orochimaru.
-
That night, hotel.

"Sha~" The sound of sand crawling in from the crack of the door was extremely slight.

"Click~" the door was opened.

The light from the corridor quietly pierced through the darkness. A short figure stood at the door. Without taking any steps, he slid in.

"Click~"

Shadow turned on the light, and Link sat on the bed, yawning, "Gaara, what's the matter with you coming here so suddenly in the middle of the night?"

"Also, next time, knock before entering, and don't use ninjutsu to open other people's doors casually..."

He felt so tired of teaching this kid.

He was used as a weapon and assassinated since he was very young. If it weren't for the leaked power of Shukaku and his mother's love, he would have died long ago. It was a real assassination that even used ninja tools such as detonating tags.

With basically no one to discipline him, Gaara is seriously lacking in common sense related to positive emotions, so it is normal for him to not know anything.

After all, even relatives like Kankuro or superiors like Maki treat Gaara as a monster or a weapon.

In the comics, this kid would go to the other extreme after being pulled back by Naruto, and would be willing to give everything for the village that once tried to assassinate him and used him as a weapon...

It's more like sharing Naruto's ideals.

[Should I find some time to teach him some common sense about positive emotions? The power of the tailed beasts has been resealed anyway.]

Link said as this thought occurred to him.

"I know." Gaara stood in the room expressionlessly, "I can't sleep."

"You don't sleep as soon as you settle down during the day, do you?" After Link said that, he knew that this was most likely the case and said, "If you can't sleep, find something to do. Don't disturb my sleep."

Gaara stood there for a long time, then suddenly turned around and left.

The shadow behind him turned off the lights and the door.

[What is this feeling?] He was very confused, confused by his own strange emotions.

A lot of messy and incomprehensible emotions surged up, and what was even stranger was that he didn't feel any pain or headache.

I don’t understand, but I’m very interested and it’s very interesting.

Gaara closed the door and stood in the corridor. His eyes, which had always been emotionless, suddenly showed a gleam of light. Then he quietly came to Kankuro's door and was about to open it with sand when he suddenly remembered what Link had just said and reached out to knock on it.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

Kankuro opened the door with a slightly sleepy look on his face, and when he saw Gaara, he suddenly perked up and asked, "Are we leaving?"

He thought they were leaving here in the middle of the night and going back to Konoha Village.

Gaara shook his head, "I just went to see Link-sensei."

Ah this?

Kankuro was a little confused at first. Am I still in a dream?
