I am the most popular character in Naruto!

Everyone knew that staying any longer meant certain death.

The ANBU ninjas also looked grim. Those who were slightly weaker knelt down immediately. Kakashi turned his head and said fiercely, "You all leave too! Maintain order in the area! Prevent unauthorized personnel from going up the mountain!"

Fortunately, the Senju family mansion was located deep in the mountains; otherwise, Jiraiya's burst of Kage-level aura would have caused a huge uproar in the Uchiha compound, making it known to everyone in Konoha.

The members of the secret service exchanged glances, somewhat hesitant.

For them, their mission was to find a way to get Jiraiya to meet Hiruzen Sarutobi, but that mission was not yet complete.

"You won't listen to me just because I'm not in the Anbu?"

Kakashi roared, quite disappointed with the group of Anbu ninjas.

The person hasn't even left yet, and the tea is already cold?

Upon hearing Kakashi's words, the group of Anbu members became unwilling to leave.

The Anbu is an independent organization that serves the Hokage, so Kakashi, having left the Anbu, naturally cannot listen to him.

Seeing that the Anbu ninjas were determined to fight the Kage-level ninja in the tea room to the end, Kakashi sneered and simply stepped aside.

"You ungrateful wretch!"

boom

The Kage-level aura that Kakashi had previously blocked surged out, and now, more than half of the Anbu ninjas fell, with the rest kneeling on the ground.

Before reaching the Kage level, trying to withstand the aura of a Super Kage level is suicidal.

Even so, the ANBU ninjas remained steadfast, prompting Kakashi to roll his eyes in exasperation.

However, the next moment, Kakashi's expression changed drastically again, and he pushed off with his feet, moving directly away from the tea room.

"That shouldn't be... Chiaki, your strength is about the same as mine..."

Jiraiya shouted loudly, and then another super-Kage level aura, no less powerful than Jiraiya's, exploded out. The two super-Kage level auras competed to shine, crushing everything around them.

This time, even Kakashi couldn't withstand it.

The members of the Dark Guard were filled with despair. What the hell was going on?!

Swoosh

At this moment, an old figure appeared in front of the Anbu members, his aura surging as he tried to protect them.

Chapter 591 I Won't Teach

"You two, if you don't stop, you'll tear the entire Hidden Leaf Village apart."

An aged voice rang out at the entrance of the tea room, and Chiaki and Jiraiya reacted, simultaneously concealing their presence.

Although they were roughly equal in strength, Chiaki was much faster at concealing her aura.

For Chiaki, who has always stayed in Konoha, hiding his strength has become a habit.

Jiraiya, who was always out in the world, didn't have many concerns. He could unleash his power when necessary. After all, the ninja world was still a world where the strong preyed on the weak, and one couldn't survive by simply pretending to be weak while actually being strong.

"It's incredible, it's incredible."

Jiraiya clicked his tongue in amazement and winked at Chiaki, "Little Chiaki, even this old man has to give you face now?"

Chiaki rolled her eyes and said irritably, "That old man is too absolute in his actions. Anyway, he made things very unpleasant between us, and he even forced Minato to leave."

"Oh... I know about that."

Jiraiya stroked his chin. "I happened to run into the Minato couple, and I even introduced them to Mount Myōboku. I really don't know if those two little ones can handle the training there."

"They're fine with cultivation issues...maybe what they can't accept is the food..."

Qianqiu twitched the corner of her mouth, then remembered the wriggling earthworms and worms in the original work, and immediately covered her mouth.

"Well... that's true."

Jiraiya wasn't surprised that Chiaki knew about the food situation at Mount Myōboku. He wanted to say something to Chiaki, so Mirai tugged at Chiaki's sleeve.

"Qianqiu, there are still people waiting outside."

Qianqiu affectionately ruffled Wei Lai's hair, a glint of light flashing in her eyes. "Let the old man wait... but we still have to do the pretense, we can't let him lose face."

"In the future, could you please go out and tell the Third Hokage that Jiraiya-sensei and I had a bit of a shock during our sparring session and need to rest for a day? Tell him to go back first."

Upon hearing Qianqiu's words, Mirai obediently nodded and obediently left the room.

Jiraiya was truly envious of her virtuous and gentle wife-like demeanor.

"Little Qianqiu, how did you raise your little wife?"

"Get one for me too?"

Chiaki glanced at Jiraiya and said, "It mainly depends on who makes the decision between the two of them, you know what I mean?"

"Tsk..."

Jiraiya was dealt another blow, and clutching his heart, which was pierced beyond recognition, he sat down on the cushion in the tea room.

"It's fine for the old man to wait it out, but Qianqiu, have you told him about your problem?"

"what is the problem?"

Chiaki gently tugged at the sleeve of her kimono, knelt down, and skillfully began to brew tea for Jiraiya.

The two had truly put Hiruzen Sarutobi out of their minds and started talking about their own problems.

Once you reach the Kage level, the focus of the chakra enhancement is no longer on the physical body, but rather on significantly improving your soul and mental strength.

In other words, it's about allowing ninjas to evolve once again, making them surpass humans in every way.

In such circumstances, even a Kage-level ninja would become detached from worldly interactions and emotions.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Kage-level ninjas are like gods who have severed all emotions and desires. Rather, it means that their emotional needs are reduced, allowing them to judge things more objectively and view everything in the world from a higher perspective.

"Isn't it just that your abilities have been rejected by the world?"

Jiraiya said seriously, "This is a big deal. I can sense that after breaking through to the Kage level, the next step is to gradually integrate with the world."

"Gradually integrating into the world?"

Chiaki paused slightly as she poured the tea, then looked at Jiraiya seriously and asked, "What does that mean?"

"what?"

Jiraiya blinked, then suddenly realized something. "Speaking of which, Chiaki, how did you break through to the Super Kage level? Wasn't it through Sage Mode...?"

"That's right! You've never been to the three holy lands, so you shouldn't know any immortal techniques!"

According to information Jiraiya received from the Great Toad Sage, to break through to the Kage level, one must possess a higher level of chakra.

In other words, the chakra within a Kage-level ninja is of a higher grade than ordinary chakra.

Generally speaking, the only way to achieve this "superior" level of chakra is to continuously combine one's own chakra with natural energy, thereby giving birth to Sage Chakra.

Sage Chakra is a type of chakra that lies between ordinary chakra and natural energy. As one's strength increases to the level of a Kage, the amount of Sage Chakra also increases accordingly.

The ultimate goal of increasing Sage Chakra is to raise its concentration. This path, when deduced to its final form, naturally leads to the control of natural energy and the gradual integration with the world.

In reality, those ninjas who drew natural energy into their bodies and turned to stone represented a flawed method of integrating with the world.

"Immortal magic..."

Chiaki pursed her lips and said helplessly to Jiraiya, "For some reason that I can't talk about, my chakra has already reached the advanced level of Sage Chakra..."

Yes, back then, it was because of the boundary beyond that that both I and the future became demigods. From that time on, Chiaki's chakra became high-level chakra.

"...So, you don't need magic?"

Jiraiya stared blankly at Chiaki. At the Super Kage level, no one could give them experience; they had to figure it out on their own.

"maybe……"

Chiaki sighed and placed the brewed tea in front of Jiraiya. "Jiraiya-sensei, could you please introduce me to the Great Toad Sage? Perhaps I can ask him in person what I should do next."

"Alright."

Jiraiya picked up his tea and nodded. "If you can find Tsunade, you could ask her to introduce you to Shikkotsu Forest. The Slug Sage actually knows quite a bit about it."

"Anyway, the only one who doesn't know the situation is the White Snake Sage of Ryuchi Cave, right?"

Chiaki laughed, and Jiraiya clapped and laughed along with her, "That's right. Although the three of us each have a sacred site, Orochimaru's situation is the same whether he has one or not. It's hilarious."

"Speaking of which, what is Orochimaru doing now?"

After Jiraiya finished laughing, he asked Chiaki a question, and Chiaki blinked and began to think.

With the Chunin Exams fast approaching, Orochimaru will probably come to Konoha to check on things.

Oh right, there's another key character, Kabuto Yakushi...

"By the way, Jiraiya-sensei, how about Naruto teaches you?"

After pondering for a moment, Chiaki smiled and recommended to Jiraiya, "This child is very smart."

However, Jiraiya immediately refused.

"I won't teach!"

Chapter 592 A Show of Force

"Is this the brat?"

Jiraiya stood in front of Naruto with his arms crossed, looking annoyed. "Why don't you just let Minato come back and teach him himself? He's not Hokage anymore anyway, he's got nothing better to do."

Hey, you old geezer, who are you?!

Naruto was also quite annoyed. Why should this white-haired uncle teach him? And he even spoke ill of his father.

Despite his mischievous and naughty nature, Naruto deeply respects his father.

His feelings for Minato are very complex, somewhat similar to those of Boruto in the future.

However, Naruto is better off than Boruto because, with the presence of Chiaki and others, Naruto is able to correctly recognize just how great his father, the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, truly is.

At the same time, Naruto also harbored a deepest hope and dream: to become Hokage and gain everyone's recognition!

"See that, little Qianqiu? This guy has absolutely no idea what it means to respect one's teacher!"
