Konoha: Starting with a sign-in for Hashirama cells

“I don’t know how long it would take me to do it on my own,” Naruto said. “My mind is actually quite chaotic, and it’s not easy for me to calm down.”

"So, the friend you're talking about is the Nine-Tails?" Jiraiya asked with a serious expression.

“Yes, we are best friends.” Naruto nodded.

Treating the tailed beasts as his best friends was exactly what Jiraiya was worried about.

Tailed beasts are a calamity, harboring hatred towards humanity, and their terrifying power cannot be ignored.

"Be careful. You can know a person's face but not their heart. If this is true for humans, how much more so for tailed beasts?" Jiraiya said.

“I believe it,” Naruto said.

Seeing this, Jiraiya said no more, but kept the matter in mind, thinking that with him by his side to take care of things, there shouldn't be any problems.

Moreover, the key to unlocking the Nine-Tails' seal is still with him. No matter how cunning and treacherous the Nine-Tails is, it can't get out without the key.

After breakfast, the two set off again.

Having learned about Naruto's actual situation, Jiraiya discovered that Naruto's foundation was very solid and firm, and that he had his own set of training plans.

There's no need for him to interfere.

All you need to do is spend some time sparring with Naruto and give him some pointers on combat techniques.

On the contrary, he even learned the advanced technique of Rasengan, Rasenshuriken, from Naruto.

As for Naruto...

During his journey, he exercised by walking upside down.

Upon arriving in the new town, Jiraiya inquired about Tsunade's whereabouts. He then went to Mount Myōboku to train in the Frog Kumārajīva.

My schedule is packed, and every day is fulfilling.

Seventeen days later, counting from the day I left the village.

Short book street.

"According to the latest news, she is very likely here. Hopefully, she hasn't left," Jiraiya muttered to himself, looking travel-worn.

Naruto, sweating profusely and steaming from his body after exercising, wiped his sweat with a towel.

Upon realizing where he was, a glint flashed in his eyes. He half-squatted down and used his chakra sensing technique.

Although I have never met Tsunade and Shizune, and do not know their life reactions, I cannot sense their chakra reactions without using chakra.

But the most striking feature of both women is the presence of a pet pig.

“Found it,” Naruto said.

"What? Come on! Take me there quickly!" Jiraiya was stunned and hurriedly said.

When Jiraiya finally met Tsunade, he breathed a sigh of relief; he had finally found her.

"Jiraiya?" Tsunade, who was quite drunk, was surprised when she saw who it was.

"Hey, long time no see," Jiraiya greeted.

Hungry, Naruto ordered some snacks from the menu and wolfed them down.

The conversation between Jiraiya and Tsunade reached his ears.

There's not much to say; it's just that Jiraiya stated his purpose, Tsunade refused, and then they started talking about other things.

If the plot hasn't changed, Tsunade should have already met Orochimaru before this.

He heard from Orochimaru that he would help him heal in exchange for reviving his younger brother and lover, with the additional condition that he would not destroy Konoha.

What is Tsunade thinking right now?

If you put yourself in Tsunade's shoes, Naruto would be tempted; Orochimaru's offer was indeed very tempting.

But there's a problem here...

Snakes are the most cunning, treacherous, and vicious creatures, and Orochimaru is the best of them all.

If you make a deal with Orochimaru, be prepared to lose everything.

If Tsunade hadn't been able to resist at that moment and had agreed to Orochimaru's conditions, what would have happened then?

Could Orochimaru use the same conditions to ask Tsunade to do more for him?

The more Tsunade shows concern for her younger brother and lover, the more benefits Orochimaru can gain from her.

Once you've made one or two deals, it's too late to refuse.

Since Orochimaru can use the Impure World Reincarnation technique to revive the dead, he must have a way to torture them.

There are plenty of threatening tactics.

Naruto stopped thinking too much and secretly glanced at Tsunade.

One word: white.

Two words: beautiful.

Three words, and they're huge!

The Yin Seal stores chakra. Combined with the low output of the Hundred Healings Technique and chakra regulation, it can achieve an effect that would drive all women crazy.

Stay young forever!

Hinata must learn these two techniques, so that even when she's seventy or eighty, she'll still look as young as seventeen.

When he has time, Naruto should also learn.

Unlike the third generation, whose combat effectiveness declined sharply with age due to various factors.

With the Yin Seal and the Hundred Healings Technique, one can not only maintain eternal youth, but more importantly, keep the body in peak condition until death.

“Staring like that is very rude, kid,” Tsunade said casually.

"If you want to see something similar, then learn from the person next to you..."

"Lustful ghosts, secretly watching."

"What are you thinking about? You're drooling." Jiraiya was speechless.

"I imagine Hinata will be young and beautiful decades from now," Naruto coughed, awkwardly turning his face away.

Tonight's conversation started but didn't end.

Jiraiya wanted to settle things quickly and bring Tsunade back to succeed him as the Fifth Hokage.

The key issue is that Tsunade isn't in the mood.

There's nothing left to talk about.

"At most a week. If that doesn't work, I'll have to come myself." Jiraiya sat on the tatami mats, looking worried, after arriving at the same inn with Tsunade and Shizune.

"Judging from what you're saying, you don't want to be Hokage?" Naruto said.

"How could that be? I'm willing to risk my life to protect the village. Tell me, do you think I want to be Hokage?" Jiraiya chuckled.

"However, there are equally important things that I must do, so it would be best if Tsunade did it."

The prophesied son.

Xiao organization.

Now there's another dark-skinned person we need to investigate.

"Then you can think about it slowly. I'm going to train." Naruto said, biting his thumb, forming the hand seals for the Summoning Jutsu, summoning Gamabunta, and then releasing the Summoning Jutsu.

Before long, a toad used reverse summoning to summon Naruto to Mount Myōboku.

Now only Jiraiya remained in the room, racking his brains trying to figure out how to persuade Tsunade.

Another room.

"Lady Tsunade, even if you don't go back to succeed the Fifth Hokage, you can't agree to Orochimaru's deal," Shizune said.

"I have my own plans," Tsunade said casually.

Not receiving a definite answer, Shizune said anxiously, "Lady Tsunade, it's really not possible."

Not wanting to continue the topic, Tsunade, her mind in turmoil, turned over, her back to Shizune.

Chapter 87 Descendants of Nuwa

Jiraiya's persuasion went unanswered; Tsunade kept dodging the question and changing the subject.

Naruto suggested targeting Tsunade's hobbies and weaknesses.

Jiraiya thought about it.

As for Tsunade's hobbies, he was short of money and couldn't offer her a price that would tempt her.

Tsunade's weakness is that she's afraid of angering him and getting a beating.

Before we knew it, three days had passed.

Mt. Miaomu.

Hundreds or even thousands of immortal technique clones were sparring with each other.

It is a physical skill.

However, unlike ordinary physical techniques, it utilizes natural energy.

In his normal state, Naruto cannot sense natural energy, but when he enters Sage Mode, his Sage Chakra resonates with natural energy, greatly enhancing his perception.

At this point, he can sense natural energy. Being able to sense it means he can dodge, avoid, or even confront it head-on.

In an empty space, dull thuds often echo.

With each move a counter-move, the shadow clones, enhanced by Sage Mode chakra, became even faster and reacted with exceptional skill, engaging in a fierce and exhilarating battle.

The shadow clones were fighting fiercely, while Naruto himself sat by the pool of toad oil, shutting down his five senses to sense the deepest part of his soul.

After mastering Sage Mode, he shifted his focus to Spirit Transformation Technique.

In the past few days, combining the theoretical knowledge I have gained from the Five Shadow Clone Techniques, I have been able to complete the first step of the Spirit Transformation Technique, the entry-level stage, which involves sealing off the five senses.

Shutting off one's five senses is a terrible thing.
