Naruto: The Infinite New World

Chapter 344 The Temptation of Returning to the Village

Konoha has been quite peaceful lately, with little disturbance except for the constant dispatch of ninjas.

Jiraiya is seriously injured and is still in the hospital. Orochimaru and Minato Namikaze have been recalled to Konoha and are still guarding the village.

The main reason is that other ninja villages are very quiet now.

Because of their previous victory, Sunagakure is still building up its village due to increased mission workload and the increased funding from the Daimyo of the Land of Wind.

The people of Iwagakure also moved to a different location and rebuilt their village.

There are also rumors that Iwagakure is now recruiting ordinary people, but everyone treats it as false information and no one pays attention.

"Finally, someone has discovered it."

A smile bloomed on his golden face. The true power of his chakra internal energy lay in his ability to seal and create ninjas from ordinary people.

Moreover, they are no different from normal ninjas, except that they did not undergo the strict ninja training they received as children.

Meanwhile, neither the Hidden Cloud Village nor the Hidden Rain Village made any move.

Instead, there was a deathly calm.

"The calm before the storm."

Jin felt that there was nothing wrong with this evaluation.

Those brutes from the Cloud Village won't just stay peaceful like that.

Except for Kirigakure.

As all memories are digested.

"The art of flesh and blood clones."

A new clone appears.

"I'll leave it to you."

"understood."

The clone waved dismissively.

Jin shook his head as darkness unfolded before him.

"I should show Minato what despair really is."

Leaf.

hospital.

"Jiraiya-sensei, I've come to see you."

Jin walked into Jiraiya's hospital room carrying a fruit basket.

Inside, Minato Namikaze was chatting with Jiraiya.

"Minato, you're back too?"

Minato Namikaze smiled.

"I just got back today."

Jin placed the fruit basket next to the table and took out an apple to peel.

"Where's Kushina?"

These two are inseparable, so why is Minato Namikaze all alone today?

"I haven't gone to see Kushina yet."

Minato Namikaze awkwardly scratched his face.

He mainly came to discuss Sage Mode with Jiraiya.

"Jiraiya-sensei, be careful, Kushina might have a problem with you."

Jin smiled and said to Jiraiya.

Given Kushina's fiery temper, if she didn't go looking for Minato immediately after he returned, she would definitely go after Jiraiya to settle scores.

Jiraiya chuckled awkwardly.

The smile on his face turned bitter. He used to get beaten up by his teammates, and now he's getting beaten up by his disciples.

His life.

What a failure.

Jiraiya sighed, watching helplessly as the apple peel in the golden hand kept disappearing.

Finally, Jin finished shaving and was about to reach out to take it when, unexpectedly, Jin picked it up and ate it.

Jiraiya awkwardly withdrew his hand.

Let's see how the patient started eating on their own.

"By the way, Jiraiya-sensei, how long until you're discharged from the hospital?"

That injury kept Jiraiya bedridden for almost half a year.

"The bones in my body have almost healed, but it will still take some time."

Jiraiya sighed heavily when the topic came up.

Most of those who went to Iwagakure did not return; those who did were those who did not go with the main group.

Later, Mr. An appeared and fought a fierce battle with Onoki, which gave them a chance to escape back.

It's basically equivalent to total annihilation.

He knew nothing about the root members.

"The village has suffered heavy losses this time." Minato Namikaze's face was also gloomy.

"Hyuga Hiashi has taken over as head of the Hyuga clan, and other ninja clans have also suffered considerable losses."

Kim added.

And the war isn't over yet.

"So, when's the time for a match?"

Jin looked at Minato Namikaze with great interest; he had come all the way back just for him.

"Let's wait a couple of days," Minato Namikaze sighed. "I've been working on my strength lately, and I'm not at that level yet."

Jin shrugged.

"Then I'll wait for you."

Jiraiya looked at the two of them suspiciously.

"What are you two hiding from me?"

"I didn't hide anything, I just planned to have a friendly spar." Jin picked up an orange next to him and started peeling it.

You've done that!! You've almost finished eating!!

Are you really here to see me?

Jiraiya's lips twitched twice.

This little brat is probably here to annoy him.

"But speaking of which, Minato has already advanced to the third level, so Jiraiya-sensei, you should also work hard."

Jin patted Jiraiya on the shoulder and placed the orange in his hand.

"Having you all is enough."

Jiraiya picked up the orange with satisfaction and began to eat it.

Jin shook his head and said.

"Jiraiya-sensei, although Lady Tsunade has left, she was already subtly stronger than you and Orochimaru-sensei before she left. If you really want to pursue her, you can't be too weak, right?"

Jiraiya chuckled twice, but his smile was somewhat bitter.

"Good luck, Jiraiya-sensei."

Jin patted Jiraiya on the shoulder.

at the same time.

In the newly established village of Iwagakure.

Onoki emerged from the quiet room, his brow furrowed.

"I didn't expect it to be this difficult."

He believed that with his current high level of mental strength and understanding of ninjutsu, he could develop a three-attribute chakra internal energy technique.

However, the difficulty was far greater than he had imagined.

Chakra internal energy cultivation involves choosing a specific attribute to practice. As one cultivates to a higher level, one can directly control the nature transformation.

If you want to add new attributes, the difficulty will increase significantly.

The difficulty changes with each additional attribute.

His limit is that he can only increase two attributes, but the sum of those two attributes is much weaker than the single attribute of other people.

Finally, having no other choice, they used the Berserk technique to directly inscribe an attribute onto the surface of their body.

This completes the prerequisite for Dust Escape.

He barely managed to complete the chakra internal energy technique of Dust Release.

The third layer of problems then arises.

Natural abilities are not so easy to use; the technique bound to his body is Dust Release.

However, his natural abilities were too violent, and because his Dust Release was not the complete version, it was difficult for him to stabilize it.

In other words.

Others' innate magical arts are instantaneous, but his innate magical arts require time to activate.

"Sigh." Ohnoki sighed.

Better than nothing.

Compared to last time when I could only use my fists, next time I can use Dust Release, but the time required is too fatal.

Looking up at the Iwagakure village, which was still under construction, the old village had open terrain that made it difficult to defend.

In short, for various reasons, I chose to move.

Now they have chosen to go deep into the mountains, where it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and easy to set traps.

Even if another crisis occurs, it can hold out for a little longer.

Just as he was sighing.

A figure knelt in front of Onoki.

"Lord Tsuchikage, the Hidden Cloud Village has come to visit."

Onoki frowned.

"How did they find this place!?"

Their site isn't finished yet, so there shouldn't be any exposed addresses.
