Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

If no unforeseen circumstances occur, a ninja's strength should increase linearly after becoming a ninja.

As you age, your ninja stats will increase at a steady rate.

The upward trajectory of a few geniuses has a larger angle than that of mediocre individuals.

This is the key to distinguishing between mediocrity and excellence.

They improved more than mediocre people in the same amount of time.

Naruto, after returning from his trip to Rouran, mastered the Nine-Tails' chakra.

After that, he quickly learned Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique and Kushina's sealing techniques.

This is not a linear increase, but a dramatic surge.

In a very short period of time, it reached a level that no one could match.

This is why Konoha still has hope despite the pressure from Akatsuki and Ryoubu.

Naruto's rapid increase in strength gave everyone hope of fighting against Akatsuki and Ryūgoku.

Fukasaku said, "Nine-Tails chakra, Flying Thunder God Technique, and the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques."

"If I could learn the Sage Mode from Mount Myōboku, wow~ I'd be a super-powered Minato!"

Minato's setup includes the Flying Thunder God Technique, the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques, and Sage Mode.

If only Minato could have summoned the two Toad Sages to help him refine his Sage Chakra.

Perhaps the Nine-Tails wouldn't need to be sealed away by Suigan at the cost of his life.

Everyone was also imagining the scenario where Naruto would master Sage Mode and use it to deal with the Akatsuki.

Kakashi said with some concern, "Naruto's rapid increase in strength has affected his mentality. He's like a completely different person since he came back from Roran."

The sage asked in confusion, "What has it become? Is it terrible?"

Kakashi instinctively looked at Jiraiya.

Jiraiya was an elder, and Kakashi dared not slander him.

Tsunade crossed her arms, trying to ease the fatigue in her heavy chest.

She snorted at Jiraiya, "Naruto is just a mini-Jiraiya now! He groped Shizune's butt!"

"Lady Tsunade!"

Shizune blushed deeply. How could you say that?

Jiraiya touched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

He felt extremely sorry for Minato and Kushina, for raising their child to be like this.

But things were pretty good before.

That repression of romantic love was only manifested in his unrequited love for Sakura.

It's probably because Sakura has always been in love with Sasuke, and Naruto is releasing his pent-up emotions everywhere.

Or perhaps he traveled back to the past Loulan, experienced some things, and his personality changed drastically.

Fukasaku the hermit didn't see anything wrong with it: "I don't see anything wrong with it! The toads of Mount Myōboku just start getting restless when they reach puberty."

"Everyone was competing to see who could jump the farthest or sing the best."

"It's all about vying for the right to choose a spouse first!"

"This is a normal thing in the eyes of our toad clan, but you humans suppress yourselves too much."

Fukasaku didn't care about Naruto's personality change; it wasn't a big deal.

He actually thought it was normal for Naruto to be like this.

If someone suddenly stops eating beef, that would be a real big change.

Jiraiya thought about it and agreed with Naruto learning Sage Mode: "The Akatsuki wants the Nine-Tails inside Naruto. If Naruto goes to Mount Myōboku, he can protect the Nine-Tails."

"No—Naruto can't go to Mount Myōboku!"

Xiaochun, who is switching dorms, has something to say.

The two conservative elders had been listening to Jiraiya's conversation with the two great immortals. In front of the two immortals, the two elders dared not act rashly.

But when it comes to Naruto, they have to step up.

Why?

Jiraiya looked at Koharu.

Koharu said, "If Naruto hadn't mastered the Nine-Tails' or Minato's ninjutsu, I would have strongly agreed with him going to Mount Myōboku. This would also be to prevent the Nine-Tails inside him from being captured by Akatsuki."

"But Naruto has now become stronger than you, Jiraiya!"

"The village needs Naruto's power. If Nagato, who possesses the Rinnegan, were to launch a surprise attack on Konoha, only Naruto among us can stop him!"

Entrusting a village to a teenager seems rather unreliable coming from the mouth of a highly respected elder.

But that's what it is.

Only Naruto, who mastered the Nine-Tails' chakra and the Flying Thunder God Technique, could stand against Nagato, who possessed the Rinnegan.

There is also the threat of Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Ryou.

Konoha needs Naruto's power to protect it.

Jiraiya looked at Fukasaku: "Boss, if we don't let Naruto go to Mount Myōboku, will he still be able to learn Sage Mode?"

Fukasaku the Hermit thought for a moment: "That's possible, but it's very troublesome and dangerous!"

"Toad oil can only work in an environment like Mount Myoboku, where natural energy from the outside world is not so easy to perceive."

"The effects of training at Mount Myōboku are ten times greater than those outside!"

Tsunade said, "I believe in Naruto. He can even control the Nine-Tails' chakra, so he won't be corrupted by natural energy."

Jiraiya nodded: "Naruto should now see him as someone even better than Minato!"

Fukasaku pondered for a moment: "Alright, let's teach Naruto Sage Mode in Konoha. Let's go back and deal with the old man's matter first!"

"I'll teach Naruto Sage Mode in a couple of days! With the Nine-Tails' chakra and Flying Thunder God Technique, Sage Mode is just icing on the cake for him!"

"good!"

With a bang, the sages Fukasaku and Shima broke free from their spiritual connection and returned to Mount Myōboku.

Jiraiya and the others also left the Hokage's office one after another.

Tsunade and Jiraiya left the Hokage Building side by side.

Tsunade said, "Jiraiya, I've read your mission report. You were discovered as soon as you invaded Amegakure."

Jiraiya nodded: "Nagato has a ninjutsu that is linked to rain. As long as someone gets wet in the rain, he can sense it."

"I was detected by his ninjutsu!"

Tsunade criticized, "You're Konoha's best intelligence ninja; you should know the unspoken rules of intelligence ninjas!"

"The first thing to do upon being discovered by the enemy is to evacuate, prioritizing the protection of your own life!"

"But why do you insist on investigating Nagato's information?"

Jiraiya sighed and said, "Because I always believe that Nagato is the way he is now because of me!"

"The Great Toad Sage said that my disciple will become the savior who brings peace to the ninja world, and also the destroyer who brings war."

"What they become depends entirely on my decision!"

"If I had stayed by Nagato's side and taught him more carefully, perhaps Nagato wouldn't have become the way he is now!"

Tsunade listened quietly to Jiraiya's sigh.

Jiraiya appears optimistic on the surface, but his heart is filled with a tragic sense of pessimism.

Of the three legendary Sannin, Jiraiya was the kindest.

When Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan found them, the three of them faced these three war orphans from the Land of Rain in different ways.

Tsunade provided them with food, but she couldn't take care of them, much less teach them ninjutsu.

Because Tsunade is a member of the Senju clan, she is a true Konoha ninja.

Prioritizing the interests of Konoha ninjas, she may pity the weak, but she would never support someone who threatens Konoha's position.
