Little Goku's Great Adventure Starting from One Piece

Chapter 351 Jiraiya's Selfish Motives

Hokage Building.

In the conference room, the Fifth Hokage Tsunade, elders Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, Anbu Owa, Hokage strategist Nara Shikaku, Hokage's deputy Shizune, Root leader Shimura Danzo, as well as Jiraiya and Kakashi gathered for a high-level meeting that was kept secret from others.

"Mute it and distribute the files."

Tsunade sat in the main seat, her hands clasped together, her gaze calm and composed.

Upon hearing her instructions, Shizune immediately distributed the prepared documents to everyone present.

These documents contain all the information Pain knew, as well as information about the unfamiliar Akatsuki members that Kakashi and his group encountered while searching for Sasuke a couple of days ago.

Upon receiving these documents, regardless of whether they already knew the information, everyone carefully examined them page by page, and the meeting room was so quiet that only the occasional sound of turning pages could be heard.

After about fifteen minutes, seeing that everyone present had basically finished reviewing the documents in their hands, Tsunade finally spoke again: "What are your thoughts on this information?"

Danzo sat in the corner, silent and so quiet that his presence was almost invisible.

Kakashi's eyes were grave; he was deeply alarmed by the information about Pain on the document.

The leader of Akatsuki has such terrifying strength that even Jiraiya lost an arm there and almost couldn't escape. It's truly chilling.

Nashikazu gently rested his chin on his hand, a glint of wisdom occasionally flashing in his eyes, as if he were pondering something, before responding to Tsunade.

Neither Yamato nor Shizune made a sound, while Jiraiya rested his head on his hands, looking completely nonchalant.

However, his gaze inadvertently swept over several faces, including Danzo, who was hiding in a corner.

Mitokado and Utatane exchanged a glance, the former breaking the silence in the conference room.

"I didn't expect that the Akatsuki would retain such formidable strength despite losing so many members. They are truly not to be underestimated."

.

He then looked at Jiraiya and said, "Jiraiya, you were too reckless to go to Amegakure this time. You didn't even discuss it with us. Otherwise, you wouldn't have lost an arm."

"Yes, you are very lucky to have escaped this time. If you had perished there, our Konoha would have suffered a great loss of fighting power, and it would have had an immeasurable impact on Konoha itself."

Jiraiya, your actions this time were truly unacceptable.

Koharu, who was turning the dorm, also spoke up, her words filled with criticism and rebuke.

"Enough! I'm asking for your opinions on the enemy's intelligence, not for you to criticize us! If Jiraiya hadn't risked his life to gather this information, how long do you think it would have taken us to find out, and how many more casualties would we have suffered when encountering Pain with unknown intelligence?!"

Tsunade slammed her hand on the table, her gaze flashing like lightning as she stared at the two elders, her imposing aura instantly exuding power.

Seeing her get angry, the two elders opened their mouths, but ultimately said nothing more.

Seeing that the two of them were speechless, Tsunade ignored them and turned to look at Konoha's strategist.

"Shikaku, tell me your thoughts. How much power do you think the Akatsuki still retains? Are there still figures like that masked man hiding in the shadows?"

Although Shikaku was deep in thought, he had been paying attention to everything that was happening at the meeting. After hearing Tsunade's question, he thought for two seconds and then replied, "Since the Akatsuki list we obtained before included Pain, the leader, then that list should have recorded all the Akatsuki's visible forces."

It's not surprising that an ambitious organization like Akatsuki has hidden forces, but I personally believe that, including the masked man we encountered this time, they probably don't have more than three hidden members.

Of course, if they continue to recruit in the process, that number will increase.

Tsunade nodded and then asked, "Do you think we can send troops to attack Amegakure and wipe out the Akatsuki's stronghold in one fell swoop?"

Upon hearing this, Elders Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado both changed their expressions and spoke up to stop them: "No! Hokage! A rash attack is unwise. The strength of the Akatsuki is still unknown, and they have the incredibly powerful Pain, as well as the masked ninja whose space-time ninjutsu was superb. Konoha's current strength is simply not at a disadvantage!"

In their minds, Jiraiya in Sage Mode was already the strongest person in the entire Hidden Leaf Village, even surpassing Tsunade.

Jiraiya's defeat at Pain's hands, though partly due to a lack of information, was enough to demonstrate Pain's immense strength.

Now that Jiraiya has lost an arm, his strength must have decreased compared to before, and he may not be able to defeat Pain if they encounter each other again.

Add to that the masked man whose strength is unknown, and the unknown enemies that may be lurking in the shadows, and Konoha will definitely not come out on good terms if they attack Amegakure now!

While the high-level meeting was being held, Goku, having finished his afternoon nap, went to the wilderness where he had fought Jiraiya that morning and continued to study the Rasengan there.

He repeatedly condensed the Rasengan and then repeatedly made it disappear in his hand to improve his proficiency with it.

If it used to take him almost a second to condense a Rasengan, now, through his repeated practice, he has reached the point where the Rasengan can be cast instantly. With just a thought, the Rasengan can appear in his hand in an instant.

"Let's see how much its power can be increased."

After mastering the skill, Goku began to try to unleash the greater power of the Rasengan.

The simplest and most direct way is to increase its energy.

This is also known as the Giant Rasengan or the Super Giant Rasengan.

However, Goku didn't know these names; he simply wanted to explore the limits of this move.

With a thought, a Rasengan quickly appeared in his palm.

Immediately afterwards, Goku continued to increase his energy, and the Rasengan expanded rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, reaching a diameter twice that of a normal Rasengan in the blink of an eye.

Without adding any more energy, Wukong found a patch of intact ground that hadn't been ravaged by the various energies of the morning, jumped up, and pressed it onto the ground.

boom!!!

With a deafening roar, the ground melted away like ice and snow the instant the Rasengan made contact, followed by a spray of rubble and dirt from the edges.

An invisible wave of energy suddenly surged forth, sweeping outwards in a vast, circular motion in all directions.

Not far away, the trees on the outskirts of the forest leaned back in unison under the sweep of the air currents, looking down from the air like waves rippling on the sea.

A flock of birds was startled and flew away in a panic, chirping and chattering.

Shifting our gaze back to the location where the commotion occurred, we discovered a massive crater, hundreds of meters wide, suddenly appearing on the ground, resembling a crater from a meteorite impact, making one gasp in horror at the sight.

If Jiraiya were here, he would realize that this attack had surpassed the Great Giant Rasengan and reached the power that only the Super Giant Rasengan could unleash.

"This kind of power?" In the center of the pit, Goku looked around and nodded thoughtfully.

That Rasengan, even though it was only twice the diameter of a regular Rasengan, contained eight or nine times the energy.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have such great power.

"It seems like it could continue to increase."

Wukong muttered to himself.

With the energy in his body now, he can increase the energy of the Rasengan many times over. As for where the limit is, he doesn't know. After all, this thing requires a high degree of control over the energy flow, and there is a limit to this control. It's not that he can pour in as much energy as he has in his body.

In other words, the limit is the maximum amount of energy he can use to successfully condense and maintain the Rasengan.

He did a rough calculation, and although he wasn't sure what the limit was, he figured it should be several hundred times faster.

"We probably made a bit too much noise just now. Hopefully nothing bad will happen."

Goku jumped out of the pit, looked at the scene of the raging wind around him, and then looked at the big pit again. He remembered that Jiraiya had said that morning that it was not good to make too much of a commotion in the village.

There was an awkward moment.

really.

Before long, several figures came rushing over from a distance and arrived in front of him in a few breaths.

"Huh? It's you!"

The newcomers were none other than Shikamaru, Choji, and Ino, who had met Goku two days prior.

The three of them had been practicing the Ino-Shika-Cho strategy not far away when they heard the commotion and rushed over to find out what had happened. Unexpectedly, they saw Goku instead.

"Oh, it's you guys."

Although Goku didn't interact much with Shikamaru and the others that day, he knew that the three of them had been watching him eat for a long time, and he also knew that they knew Uncle Jiraiya, so he smiled.

"My name is Sun Wukong, hello everyone."

Shikamaru and the other two looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Ahem, I am Nara Shikamaru."

26

"I am Choji Akimichi, my idol!"

"I am Yamanaka Ino."

Something strange seems to have been mixed in.

Did you cause that commotion?

Shikamaru glanced around and his pupils contracted when he saw the large crater, a hundred meters wide, not far away.

What terrifying power!

There are probably very few people in Konoha who can achieve this level of power!

"It's me. I was practicing a new move I just learned, and I accidentally made a bit too much noise," Wukong said with a sheepish grin, scratching his head.

Now, the three of them, including Shikamaru, all looked serious.

It really was created by Wukong, but this boy looks two years younger than them. How can he have such great power?

What new trick is he talking about?

Because of Jiraiya, the three were shocked by Goku but did not become wary of him. However, they were still quite curious about how Goku had done it.

After considering for a few seconds, Shikamaru said, "Goku, you haven't been in Konoha for long. I don't know what this commotion means for Konoha. The three of us just happened to be nearby, so we arrived a little early. There will definitely be more Anbu coming to check the situation later."

You are Jiraiya-sama's friend, so you are not our enemy. However, the Anbu who come here may not know your identity. Jiraiya-sama is not here right now, so only we can prove your identity.

So please tell us what techniques you were practicing that caused this commotion, so we can explain it to you when the Anbu arrives.

Goku blinked and said without hesitation, "I was practicing the Rasengan."

Rasengan? !

Upon hearing this answer, Shikamaru and the other two all had their pupils shrink.

How could it be the Rasengan? Isn't that Jiraiya's signature move? He only taught it to his disciple Naruto. Besides him, only Kakashi and Konohamaru, who was taught by Naruto, know this move.

"Did Jiraiya-sama teach you that?"

Even though this was the only possibility, Shikamaru couldn't help but ask.

"Yes." Wukong nodded obediently.

"You...you are Jiraiya-sama's disciple?" Ino asked in astonishment after hearing Goku's answer.

In her opinion, if he wasn't Jiraiya's disciple, why would Jiraiya teach Goku something like that?

Unexpectedly, Goku shook his head this time: "I am not Jiraiya's disciple."

Upon hearing this, Shikamaru, Choji, and Ino exchanged bewildered glances.

He wasn't a disciple, yet he taught Jiraiya the Rasengan. Why would Jiraiya-sama do that?

Hokage Building.

In the conference room, the high-level meeting was drawing to a close.

After thorough discussion, the idea of ​​sending troops to attack Amegakure and destroy Akatsuki's stronghold was rejected.

The reason given is that the time is not yet ripe.

When Tsunade proposed this idea, she didn't really intend to do it.

Before she knew about Pain's unpredictable methods and the appearance of the masked man with space-time ninjutsu, she did have this thought. However, after these events, she dismissed the idea because the Akatsuki organization was indeed a tough nut to crack for Konoha at the moment. If Konoha insisted on attacking, it would inevitably lose some of its strength.

Tsunade then proposed another idea: to share the Akatsuki intelligence they now possessed with the other four major ninja villages.

Although the Akatsuki failed to capture the Nine-Tails from their village, the Akatsuki had already captured the One-Tails from Sunagakure, the Three-Tails from Kirigakure, and the Seven-Tails from Takigakure. There may even be more tailed beasts that have been captured without their knowledge.

In this situation, the Akatsuki organization, which possesses multiple tailed beasts, is undoubtedly the biggest threat to the ninja world. If this force really needs to be eliminated, then it would be best for the five great ninja villages to work together.

Sharing intelligence with the four great ninja villages was to convey Konoha's idea.

However, when Tsunade brought up this idea, it was strongly rejected by Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado.

They believed that other ninja villages were untrustworthy, and that sharing the intelligence that Konoha had risked their lives to gather with other ninja villages was an extremely foolish act. Not only would they not gain the support of other ninja villages, but they would also waste their precious intelligence.

Although the two elders are nearing retirement and rarely interfere in Tsunade's actions, their status remains undeniable.

Although Tsunade could get angry at Jiraiya for scolding him before, in this situation, faced with the two elders' strong opposition, she had no choice but to listen to their opinions and temporarily suppress the idea.

"So now, on the one hand, we must continue to monitor the Akatsuki's movements, and on the other hand, we must protect Naruto and prevent him from falling into the hands of the Akatsuki."

Near the end, Tsunade tapped her fingers on the table as she summarized.

"Naruto, you can rest assured about that." Jiraiya, who had rarely spoken during the meeting, suddenly said this.

"Before attending the meeting, I sent Naruto to Mount Myōboku, where he will be receiving Sage Mode training for the next period of time."

Seeing everyone looking at him, Jiraiya chuckled and explained.

"Learning Sage Mode? That's a great arrangement. It can improve Naruto's strength and also help him avoid being detected by the Akatsuki." Tsunade nodded in satisfaction.

A few minutes later, the meeting came to a complete end, and everyone left one after another, except for Tsunade and Jiraiya.

"Jiraiya, what do you want to tell me by keeping me here?" Tsunade asked with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

She was about to leave, but Jiraiya stopped her and sent Shizune away.

"Tsunade, there's something I need to tell you."

Jiraiya sat up straight, looked at Tsunade seriously, and said, "I taught Goku the Rasengan."

Tsunade, who was listening intently, was suddenly taken aback.

"You taught me the Rasengan?"

She was somewhat surprised that Jiraiya would teach such a high-level ninjutsu to an outsider. After all, including the deceased Minato, there were only five people in Konoha who knew this ninjutsu! And without exception, they were all core members.

"Yes, because I found that this ninjutsu suits him very well, and it's also a way of repaying him for saving me," Jiraiya said.

"Of course, there's also some personal motive involved," Jiraiya said without any attempt to hide it.

"Self-interest?" Tsunade asked, somewhat puzzled.

"That's right, you don't know, Goku's strength far exceeds our imagination. I'm afraid I can only defeat him by activating Sage Mode," Jiraiya said solemnly.

After discovering Goku's astonishing strength, he remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was overwhelmed with emotion.

The fact that Goku possesses such strength at such a young age is enough to demonstrate that he has immense talent.

It might not seem like much in Wukong's world, but in their world, almost no one can compare.

Although Konoha now has two pillars of strength, Tsunade and Kakashi, as well as powerful ninjas like Hiashi Hyuga and the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, they may still be somewhat lacking in the face of the Akatsuki organization, whose strength has not yet been fully explored.

Therefore, the more top-tier fighters Konoha has, the more confident they will be.

Although Goku will return to his original world, Jiraiya asked him and said he didn't know exactly when. So, if Goku stays in this world and continues to live in Konoha, or if he has a good impression of Konoha, then if Konoha is ever in danger, Goku can help.

So he taught Goku the Rasengan, both to repay part of his debt of gratitude and to make Goku feel more favorably toward Konoha.
