Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 213 Experiencing Pain [1]

Chapter 213 Experiencing Pain [Part 1] (How many floors can a bag of rice be carried up?)

Let's go back a few days.

In the world of Yuya, the new handheld mobile phone has ushered in a new era of barrier-free long-distance communication, causing the entire Hidden Leaf Village to become very lively and triggering a buying frenzy...

In another world, a wave of battle frenzy also swept through.

……

"What?! We've found information about the Akatsuki?!" The perverted sage had originally received the mission from Hokage Tsunade to investigate the leader of the Akatsuki, and it had already been successful. They had found out that the leader of the Akatsuki was named Pain, and that it was very likely that the organization's headquarters were located in the Land of Rain.

He was preparing to return to the village to mention this matter to the Hokage, Tsunade, and then say hello to Naruto, while also checking on Naruto's progress in his training before heading to the Land of Rain to investigate information related to the Akatsuki leader.

As a result, Tsunade, the Hokage, urgently recalled him because a passage to another world had opened up in the ancient Loulan.

While the Akatsuki's affairs are important, there is no doubt that events that could potentially affect the entire world are even more important.

The lecherous sage Jiraiya naturally understood what was more important, so he postponed his investigation of the Land of Rain.

After that, he went to the other world to investigate, but in their world, the Akatsuki organization had not stopped its activities.

Moreover, a one-off action erupted.

For example, when the Akatsuki attacked Sunagakure, they attacked the Fifth Kazekage, Gaara. Because he needed to protect the village, Gaara was defeated, and the tailed beast inside him was extracted, which almost killed him.

If it weren't for Granny Chiyo sacrificing herself to save Gaara, Gaara might really have died.

For example, there was the previously reported news that the Akatsuki organization was hunting down the traitor Orochimaru.

This news prompted the Perverted Sage to seek out Naruto, instructing the Yamato Squad to immediately prepare to set off to track and investigate the relevant information.

Naruto has paid close attention to Orochimaru ever since Sasuke left the village a few years ago to join him.

Once Orochimaru is found, Sasuke can be found.

Naruto couldn't wait a second longer, so he immediately apologized to Fugaku and the other two and left.

But this time the news is quite interesting.

Konoha's intelligence organization sent a tip that two figures dressed in black robes with auspicious cloud patterns had been found in an underground black market in the northwest of the Land of Fire. Undoubtedly, one of them was Kakuzu, the famous bounty hunter in the underground black market.

The lecherous immortal immediately became interested.

Staying in Konoha Village is very boring.

especially……

"The math foundation of the students here is simply..." Fugaku tossed down a graded assignment and shook his head helplessly.

Hiashi shook his head: "These students do very well on problems involving practical applications, but they're completely lost when it comes to purely mathematical problems."

Simply put, it's a question like this: how high a ninja stands on a tree and throws a shuriken, and how long will it take for it to fall to the ground? This kind of question involves factors such as gravity, height, initial velocity, and parabolic trajectory.

However, there are actually some people in the ninja academy of this world who can solve it...

However, once the problem is changed to "given a height of XX meters and a parabola of XXX, find various data," these students are stumped.

It's strange that when it comes to practical applications, these students answer questions perfectly, but when it comes to theory, they're completely lost.

It's completely the opposite of their world.

Many students there can talk a good game about theory, but when faced with a real-world example, they're completely lost.

It can only be described as a difference in the world.

The lecherous immortal was truly surprised that these three guys, who claimed they knew how to teach, actually did teach!

I had no intention of gathering intelligence or anything like that; I was just teaching in the literal sense!

Of course, Hokage Tsunade wouldn't let them run around aimlessly in Konoha; she would definitely have him keep an eye on them.

However, Fugaku and his two companions actually prepared to teach here...

This left the lecherous immortal completely bewildered.

He can't possibly attend all the classes together, can he?

Well... to be honest, he doesn't really know how to do these math problems; he's never been a good student.

Well, anyway, after two days of surveillance, the lecherous immortal has completely given up; every day is incredibly boring.

This time, upon hearing the trail, he immediately set off to find the Hokage, Tsunade!

Meanwhile, Tsunade was preparing to send Asuma to lead a team to cause trouble for the two Akatsuki members mentioned in the intelligence report.

The lecherous sage Jiraiya quickly stopped the Hokage Tsunade: "Tsunade! Listen to me! This mission is my only choice! You must let me go! No one can take it from me!"

Hokage Tsunade wondered, "Then who will keep an eye on... uh, look after those visitors from another world?"

The lecherous sage looked at Asuma: "This kid will do."

Asma looked completely bewildered.

Hokage Tsunade understood.

In fact, the Anbu members reported Fugaku and his two companions' actions to Tsunade, the Hokage, every night. And it turned out that their claims of having "great experience in teaching" weren't just empty words; they were actually capable of teaching. And their skills were indeed quite good!

This greatly surprised Hokage Tsunade.

But joy followed.

At least this shows that the Hokage of the other world did not harbor any hostile intentions.

Otherwise, why would they send three "teachers" to their world for so-called "internships"?

Tsunade, the Hokage, has even started thinking about communication between the two worlds.

However, the most important thing right now is definitely the threat that the village is facing.

Therefore, the Akatsuki organization is a major threat.

As for Jiraiya...

He's definitely stronger than Asuma.

After thinking for a while, Hokage Tsunade nodded and agreed to the perverted sage's suggestion.

So, Asuma, who was originally supposed to be killed by Kakuzu and Hidan's abilities, inexplicably escaped death and ended up spending every day with Fugaku and the other two, well... attending classes along the way... and as for his math skills...

A tiny bit of progress...

As for Kakuzu and Hidan...

The two weren't fools. The person coming was Jiraiya, one of the famous Legendary Sannin. Why would they fight instead of running away?

However, the key issue is...

Jiraiya was actually an expert in intelligence gathering and target tracking.

It was alright that Kakuzu and Hidan ran separately, but it's unclear whether it was because they were too confident in their own strength or something else.

The fact that these two ran together highlights their unwavering loyalty.

So, on a sunny afternoon, the lecherous immortal caught the two of them.

Kakuzu's Earth Grudge Fear grants him multiple lives, along with five different escaping techniques. If he were to fight a simple, straightforward ninja like Asuma, it would indeed be quite easy.

But when it comes to Jiraiya...

That's overthinking it.

There is also a principle of restraint among ninjas. For example, Asuma's abilities are difficult to use against flashy ninjas like Kakuzu, but they are very easy to use against puppeteers.

After all, his chakra blade could easily sever a puppeteer's chakra threads.

Besides, Jiraiya himself was actually quite flashy.

He can overpower Kakuzu and Hidan without even using Sage Mode.

Although Hidan's insidious sneak attack succeeded and he took a drop of Jiraiya's blood to start the blood sacrifice.

However, Jiraiya instantly saw through the problem.

This effect only works if you stand inside the magic circle. Why don't you just let yourself go out?

He used a powerful oil-spraying technique, spewing out a huge amount of oil that covered the ground where Hidan was standing.

Are you going to run or not? If you don't run, the flames will burn you to ashes.

Hidan is indeed abnormal; he can survive even when his body is cut up. But if he is burned to ashes, even if he still doesn't die, he will no longer have any "human" qualities.

Hidan had no choice but to jump up and dodge.

The same question remains: although the damage he takes while standing inside the magic circle is reflected back to Jiraiya, Jiraiya is not afraid at all. So what if he dies? It's not like he's afraid. Come on, don't go if you dare. I'll burn you to ashes. Even if I die, it's worth it.

Of course, Jiraiya could also use taijutsu to kick Hidan away, making him unable to stand in the blood sacrifice circle at all, but that wouldn't be Jiraiya's style.

That makes it seem like Jiraiya was afraid of Hidan's move.

This is better; if you have the guts, just keep standing there.

Hidan chickened out, and Kakuzu couldn't fight him either. Aside from his immortality and Blood Sacrifice Technique, Hidan's other ninjutsu skills were just so-so.

As for Kakuzu, it can only be said that most of his reputation is fabricated.

It's said that he fought against the First Hokage, but who knows the specifics?

Anyway, he can't beat Jiraiya.

Jiraiya bound Hidan and shattered four of Kakuzu's five hearts, thus capturing the Akatsuki's immortal duo alive.

If that were all, it would be fine.

If someone is captured, the Akatsuki organization should definitely rescue them, right?

So, on his way back, Jiraiya encountered Deidara, who had come to rescue him.

Deidara flying in the sky annoyed Jiraiya, but in the end Jiraiya came up with a plan. He used a clone to pretend to be hit by an explosion, making Deidara think that Jiraiya had been hit and want to fly down to check. Then Jiraiya would launch a sneak attack.

As a result, Jiraiya's Rasengan, which was supposed to hit Deidara with certainty, suddenly distorted space, and a masked figure took Deidara away...

Jiraiya fell silent.

This is... a space-time ninjutsu?

……

"Huff...huff...that damn white-haired old man..." Deidara leaned against a cave, gritting his teeth as he bandaged his arm.

Although Deidara was saved by Tobi, his arm was still grazed by the Rasengan and twisted, and it's in a lot of pain now.

Tobi, a new member of Akatsuki after Sasori, who teamed up with Deidara, was defeated by the people of Konoha and Sunagakure.

Deidara was interested in the spiral mask on the other person's face.

However, there's nothing that can be done if Ah Fei is unwilling to take off his mask.

He's not the type to force others.

"Afei, I really owe you a lot this time, hmm." Deidara said to the other person with a grin after finishing bandaging.

Afei chuckled twice and said in an exaggerated tone, "After all, he's a senior~"

Just then, the ring received a communication request.

An internal meeting of the Akatsuki organization has begun.

Looking at the two empty spaces, the leader, who possessed the mysterious Rinnegan pattern, remained silent for a long time before speaking in a deep voice:

"Hidan and Kakuzu must be rescued. Suzaku, could you do me the trouble of making that trip?"

The figure with bloodshot eyes and three-tomoe Sharingan turned to look at the Akatsuki leader: "It might not work... I have a battle... that I must complete..."

"..." The leader was silent for a moment, then continued, "And then?"

"...I can go," Itachi Uchiha said calmly, "if I'm still alive..."

"..."

Ultimately, the meeting yielded no results.

Somewhere in the Land of Rain:

"Nagato..." Konan looked at Nagato with heartache. Nagato shook his head, then looked up at Konan and said:

"Let's go... to Konoha."

Xiao Nan was suddenly shocked, then immediately realized: "You want to go yourself?!"

Nagato tacitly accepted this statement.

Konan's face immediately darkened further: "Konoha is no ordinary place; it has many experts, and... and..."

"I know..." Nagato remained silent for a moment, then finally spoke calmly, "But there are some things that must be done."

The world must feel pain...

even if...

The other party is our teacher…

……

Itachi Uchiha wasn't lying.

He did indeed have a very important battle.

He has been waiting here for several days for this reason.

Moreover, he had taken some time to visit Naruto before. At that time, Naruto was tracking Orochimaru. Itachi and Naruto exchanged glances, and Itachi used genjutsu to implant the power of Kotoamatsukami into Naruto's eyes.

Kotoamatsukami is activated when Naruto fights Sasuke.

Now, all he needs to do is stay here...

Quietly awaiting the arrival of the final battle...

"Squeak"

The door opposite slowly opened, and Itachi Uchiha slowly raised his head.

bring it on……

My little brother.

Let's fight the final battle...

Let us...

"Itachi! Something's happened!"

Black and White Zetsu looked at Uchiha Itachi with a solemn expression.

Uchiha Itachi: "..."

Why the hell did you come after I've been waiting here for so long?

Itachi Uchiha took a deep breath, then calmly looked at the other person: "If you know the truth, then you don't need to say more. You should know what I'm waiting for."

Black and White Zetsu: "This is what I wanted to talk about! Your younger brother... for some reason, left here and went to Konoha Village!"

Uchiha Itachi: "!!!"

He was so shocked that he stood up abruptly.

"Wait, why?! Why would he go to Konoha?"

Black and White Zetsu were even more anxious than Uchiha Itachi.

That's not his plan at all!

more importantly……

He knew that...

The leader of Akatsuki, Pain, is on his way to Konoha. How could he not know how strong Pain is?

If Sasuke went to Konoha and happened to encounter Pain's attack on Konoha to retrieve the immortal duo, even if it was just the aftermath of the battle, Sasuke might not be able to withstand it...

If something happens to Sasuke...

There was no doubt that Itachi Uchiha would go insane on the spot and fight Pain to the death.

At that point, forget about continuing to capture the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails; the Akatsuki organization might as well disband.

The Akatsuki's operation should have gone very smoothly!

Why!

Why is that?!

Uchiha Itachi no longer had any intention of sitting there pretending to be cool while waiting for Sasuke.

If Sasuke goes to Konoha, wouldn't that be like a lamb entering a tiger's den?

He didn't trust the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, at all.

What if Tsunade wanted to attack Sasuke?

What if Tsunade just captures Sasuke?

Uchiha Itachi was extremely anxious on the spot, and immediately stood up and used the Body Flicker Technique to leave.
