Chapter 187 Two Sasukes
As Kisame drew closer step by step.

Naruto was still acting and wailing, while Sasuke watched helplessly as the situation unfolded, gradually falling into despair.

Not far away, a dark figure swiftly swept across the forest, approaching from afar at an extremely fast speed.

Whoosh~~~
"The immortals have arrived!"

With a familiar shout, a tall and imposing figure landed with a thud, standing directly in front of Naruto.

This separated him from Kisame.

Those white hairs fluttering in the wind, that flamboyant pose... it's none other than Jiraiya!

"It's finally here~"

Naruto breathed a sigh of relief.

If he doesn't come soon, he won't be able to continue acting!

Ok!

Naruto silently crossed out the script: "I will take a pill of Xiaoyao, and my fate will be in my own hands. I will be resurrected on the spot and return as a king."

"You are."

Upon seeing the sudden appearance of the person, Kisame's small eyes narrowed sharply; he seemed to recognize this person.

"The Three Ninja?"

"That's right, it's the Toad Sage—Jiraiya!"

Upon hearing that the enemy recognized him, even in the current situation, Jiraiya continued to perform his awkward dance that would be a staple of the ninja world.

Sure enough, after the performance, Kisame's eye twitched.

That's right, this confirmed to him that the person in front of him was indeed Jiraiya.

Jiraiya was one of the Legendary Sannin!

The names of the Three Legendary Sannin are known to everyone in the ninja world.

Kisame wasn't actually very familiar with Jiraiya; as a member of Kirigakure, he was more familiar with Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin.

He was very clear about Orochimaru's reputation and strength.

Jiraiya, who is one of the Legendary Sannin alongside Orochimaru, must be quite powerful.
Kisame subconsciously clenched Samehada in his hand.

This is a troublesome situation.

"Kisame!"

Behind him came Itachi Uchiha's voice, which sounded like he was suppressing pain.

Kisame glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye.

"Go quickly!" Itachi suddenly commanded.

go?

He glanced at the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki behind Jiraiya, and at Jiraiya himself, who was defending him, and then at Itachi Uchiha, who had lost his fighting ability.

Kisame readily accepted good advice.

He quickly retreated, hoisted Itachi onto his shoulder in the blink of an eye, and then disappeared in a few flashes.

The Akatsuki duo has escaped!

"You lecherous immortal! Do you have any pills on you?"

Seeing that the lecherous sage was hesitating about whether to chase after him, Naruto decisively interrupted his dangerous idea.

Hey ~
With a deep sigh, Jiraiya turned around.

As soon as he turned his head, his expression changed completely; his eyes narrowed into slits, and a smug smile appeared on his face.

Finally, I can show off in front of my disciples!

Therefore, he shamelessly began to boast, "See that, Naruto? This is the power of a sage. Enemies can only run away when they hear my name!"

As he spoke, Jiraiya took two dumplings out of his bag and bent down to hand them to Naruto.

"Yes, yes, yes~~~ You're the strongest."

Naruto didn't argue, swallowed a blue pill, and then with a whoosh, stood up straight.

Revitalize masculinity.
Cough cough cough, let's start again.

I, Naruto Uzumaki, am fully revived!

what?
Sasuke was incredulous at the sight of his energetic appearance and the stark contrast between his previous and current demeanor.

"Here you go, Sass, have one too."

Naruto threw the remaining Rasengan to him.

Sasuke swallowed it whole.

He also wanted to be like Naruto, standing up on the spot and making a full recovery.

Can.
I tried twice, but failed both times.

Finally, he was met with Naruto's merciless mockery.

"Those two just now, were they from Akatsuki?"

Seeing that the two laughing and joking were ignoring him, Jiraiya was not bothered. Instead, he looked in the direction where they disappeared and fell into deep thought.

Capture Naruto at this time
Has the Akatsuki organization already begun its operation?
Jiraiya had heard of the Akatsuki organization in his early years and even learned by chance that they might be hunting tailed beasts.

This time, upon returning to Konoha,

One of Jiraiya's goals was to teach Naruto how to control the Nine-Tails' power, so that he could better face the Akatsuki's attacks in the future.

After returning and witnessing Naruto's strength firsthand, Jiraiya was no longer worried.

just
Jiraiya turned his head and glanced at Naruto out of the corner of his eye.

Naruto looked so miserable just now, could it be that he was defeated by the opposing duo?

But now he looks so energetic and lively, there's no trace of the weakness he showed just now.

Are these pills really that effective?

Jiraiya shook his head slightly, feeling that there was a reason for it, but not entirely.

I wonder what Naruto is up to this time.

However, there is one thing that must be done.

That is, to teach Naruto that ultimate technique!
swoosh~
swoosh~
swoosh~
Several more figures rushed over from a distance.

You don't even need to look at Naruto to know.

These people were Tsunade, Shizune, Nara Shikaku, and an unknown member of the Anbu.

This group was heading to the capital to secure the position of Hokage.

Tsunade is now officially recognized as the Fifth Hokage of Konoha. "Naruto? Sasuke?"

As soon as they landed, Tsunade's gaze fell on the two of them.

On their way to the village, they saw the commotion here and then headed this way.

That grand scene must have been a battle with the enemy.

can.

Tsunade glanced around but didn't see any enemies.

"Jiraiya, who is the enemy? Where are they now?" Tsunade asked.

"The other party is Uchiha Itachi, and there's another guy whose identity is uncertain. They're all members of the Akatsuki organization."

Jiraiya pointed in the direction the two had fled, "They've all escaped now."

"Lady Tsunade, I'll go after them right away!"

Upon hearing the name of the rogue ninja Uchiha Itachi, the Anbu member suddenly spoke up.

"There's no need!" Tsunade waved her hand dismissively.

She had already learned from the Third Hokage that Itachi Uchiha was a spy for Konoha.

Arrest? No need.

Looking into the distance where Naruto had disappeared from sight, Tsunade turned back to examine Naruto.

She saw Naruto lying on the ground from a great distance.

After a careful scan, it's great, there isn't even a single wound.

However, she smiled and knew she wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.

"Isn't that 'God of Ninjas' Naruto Uzumaki? What? He lost?"

"tsk"

Naruto glanced at her speechlessly, wanting to retort, but finding it difficult to explain.

Really.

Woman, you hold grudges too much!
"Naruto,"

Jiraiya seized the opportunity to say, "I have something very important to teach you, a very important technique in our lineage. You will learn this from me from now on!"

what?
Still studying?

Seeing that Naruto was reluctant, Jiraiya added, "As long as you learn this move, you won't fail again when you face Itachi Uchiha next time."

I won't fail even if I don't learn!

I wanted to say something sarcastic, but then I remembered the performance I had just given, and I swallowed the words back down.

"Tomorrow!"

Naruto replied dismissively that he really didn't think there was anything worth learning.

Moreover, he still has to go back to work now.

What class do you take?

Of course, it's all paid for with public funds!
Ahem, actually, I was using the guise of a mission to travel around the entire ninja world, wandering around and eating and drinking as I pleased.

Yesterday's schedule was absolutely heavenly.

Naruto decided to do this for the first six months and then see what happens.

Eating, drinking, and having fun every day, while receiving a huge salary, couldn't be more awesome!
As for the promise made to the third generation of elders regarding the matter of snatching people from Danzo?
Just bring in a few of your own people every week to get by!

"Well, I'll be going now if there's nothing else."

Naruto glanced around at everyone, his gaze quickly skipping over Tsunade, before finally placing his hand on Sasuke.

Sasuke naturally understood what he meant.

"Gana~" Naruto said goodbye to everyone.

swoosh~
With a flash of golden light, Naruto and Sasuke disappeared.

"Hey~ this guy!" Jiraiya looked at Tsunade and smiled helplessly.

The scene shifts back to the village.

swoosh~
The two reappeared at Sasuke's doorstep.

"Sass, you should rest today and not go on any missions."

"Ah."

Sasuke nodded slightly.

He was hit by a Tsukuyomi attack, and he's still feeling a bit dizzy and disoriented.

"correct,"

Naruto, who was about to leave using the Flying Thunder God Technique, suddenly stopped. "Remember to come to my new house tonight and get acquainted with the place."

Yesterday, thanks to the tremendous efforts of everyone in Root, Naruto's new house was finally cleaned.

All kinds of furniture have also been replenished, so you can move in anytime.

That's right, it's the little villa with a yard that Jiraiya paid for with tears in his eyes and the village made up the remaining balance.

Naruto is preparing to hold a housewarming ceremony this evening.

Don't forget to bring a gift!

swoosh~
As soon as he finished speaking, Naruto transformed into a flash of light, returned to his original point, and disappeared.

"This guy"

Sasuke gave a helpless, bitter smile and went home.

on the other hand.

Back home, Naruto changed into simple clothes and prepared to begin his day's trip.

"set off!"

Thinking of something, Naruto closed his eyes and focused all his senses on sensing.

Sure enough, the four-person root team had already assembled, and the food and shopping group was waiting for their arrival.

Ready to go!

and many more.

Suddenly sensing something, Naruto frowned slightly.

How can two familiar and identical chakras appear in the perception of chakra?
Ok?
Two Sasukes?
