Naruto: Accidentally Unlocking a Fantasy Era

Jin stroked his chin as he looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi. It seemed the Hyuga clan had indeed suffered a major financial loss.

"The funding for the R&D department has been doubled."

"impossible."

Hiruzen Sarutobi refused outright. The Hyuga clan had already suffered a huge loss, but they couldn't just turn around and cut themselves in the process.

"I can teach the Caged Bird Concealment Technique to the village."

"make a deal."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, fearing that Kin would change his mind, hurriedly said...

It should be less.

Jin stared speechlessly at the old man.

If the village possessed this shielding technique, it would be equivalent to the village being able to completely take over the Hyuga branch family for its own use.

Even Danzo rarely showed a smile. He had been eyeing the Hyuga clan for a long time, but it was the Caged Bird Seal that made him give up on the Hyuga clan.

The exchange of benefits has been completed.

Danzo then began to explain his purpose.

What exactly did the Hyuga clan lose?

He was eager to know what it was about that made the Hyuga clan value it so much.

Jin looked at Hyuga Kiyoshi, feigning complete ignorance, which lessened Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo's suspicions.

Their gazes turned to Hinata Kiyoshi.

Hinata Kiyoshi shook his head and said, "I only exchanged the Caged Bird Seal Technique with those five people. I don't know what they did specifically."

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo were not very convinced, but Hyuga Kiyoshi's expressionless face did not reveal any useful information.

Although they were somewhat unwilling, they had no choice but to give up.

Hyuga Kiyoshi didn't want to talk, and with Uchiha Kin's endorsement, they couldn't interrogate him.

"By the way, does your R&D department have any recent achievements?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi then asked another question.

"Isn't breathing technique enough?"

Jin rolled his eyes. He had uploaded all the breathing techniques, even though they were outdated.

However, it can also enhance the strength of many people, and the breathing technique has great potential to be explored.

"It's enough, but it would be better to have some ninjutsu-type techniques. Yours are all taijutsu-type."

Konoha is famous for its many ninjutsu techniques, so how come everyone here relies on powerful taijutsu?

"You think research and development is something you can achieve just by wanting it."

Jin rolled his eyes.

"we'll talk about it then."

Konoha's strength has increased considerably.

Other ninja villages haven't seen much improvement.

Chapter 232 The Nagato Trio Graduates and Joins the Army

The wilderness of the Land of Rain.

Jiraiya stood at a distance, watching Nagato and the other two being washed away by the waterfall.

I've been teaching the three of them for three years now, and I wonder how Konoha is doing now.

After the three of them finished their day of cultivation.

夜晚

They followed Jiraiya back to the small house the four of them had built together.

Jiraiya personally prepared a sumptuous meal.

"Is Jiraiya-sensei's meal this lavish today?"

Yahiko looked at the large amount of fish and meat on the table with a look of surprise, and the three of them quickly sat down.

Normally, as long as it's edible, it's fine; this is quite rare.

Jiraiya smiled and spoke to the three of them.

"Today is to celebrate your graduation."

After three years of training, the three have acquired the qualities and strength of ninjas, and should be able to survive well in the Land of Rain at least.

From the very beginning, Jiraiya's goal was to give them the ability to survive.

"We've become qualified ninjas?!" Yahiko exclaimed with delight.

After three years of training, he finally became a qualified ninja.

"Congratulations."

Jiraiya smiled and congratulated the three of them.

"marvelous!!"

Yahiko wanted to jump up, while Nagato and Konan beside him kept their heads down and remained silent.

A long time passed.

Xiao Nan looked up and asked.

"Jiraiya-sensei, are you leaving?"

"Yes, now that you've become qualified ninjas, it's time for me to return to Konoha."

Jiraiya wore a smile, but it was impossible to tell how much reluctance he felt at parting.

Even Nagato felt reluctant to part with Jiraiya, but his feelings for Jiraiya were always complicated.

Jiraiya cared for them like a father.

But he could never forget that his parents died at the hands of Konoha ninjas.

In the end, it was just a perfunctory apology.

Some things are better kept to yourself.

Nagato lowered her head and remained silent.

Yahiko, however, seemed oblivious to the sadness, and embraced Nagato and Konan tightly.

"Don't worry, we will definitely meet Jiraiya-sensei again."

"Right, Jiraiya-sensei?"

Yahiko looked up at Jiraiya.

"Yes."

Jiraiya smiled and nodded.

"When you find a way to bring peace to the ninja world, we will definitely meet again."

Jiraiya knew Yahiko's dream: to bring lasting peace to the ninja world, to end all strife—what a bright wish!

So, is he the Child of Light?

Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Nagato, who had a somewhat gloomy air about him.

Is he a child of darkness?

Jiraiya had been thinking about this question.

Peace and endless evolution—peace is definitely better, isn't it?

Since receiving this prophecy, he has actually fallen into a state of confusion.

"Most definitely."

Yahiko was very confident.

"I will definitely find a way to bring peace to the ninja world."

Early the next morning.

The three arrived at Jiraiya's room, but Jiraiya had already disappeared without a trace.

"Jiraiya-sensei has left." Konan said sadly.

After all, they had already regarded Jiraiya as family, and before they could say a proper goodbye, Jiraiya had already disappeared.

We will meet again.

Yahiko had an optimistic look on his face.

"Now it's our story!!"

"I've decided, let's join the army."

After all, the army of the Land of Rain was established to protect the Land of Rain, which coincided with Yahiko's idea.

If you want peace, you must first protect the Land of Rain.

"To protect the Land of Rain?"

Nagato muttered to himself.

This is his hometown. He doesn't have Yahiko's grand dream of bringing peace, but he also has a dream of protecting the Land of Rain.

To ensure that the children of the Rain Kingdom would not suffer the same fate as them, losing their parents in the war.

"The quota is already full."

The officer sitting at the registration point looked at Nagato and the other two with a helpless expression.

"And are you fifteen years old yet?"
