People in Demon Slayer: The Journey That Began with Demon Slayer

A spinning Rasengan was visible in Naruto's right palm; had he been a fraction of a second later, it would have struck Jiraiya.

Jiraiya asked sternly, "Naruto, what are you trying to do?"

Naruto turned around and looked directly at the Konoha ninja present: "Heh, isn't it obvious? The troublemakers are gone, so I'm going to begin my revenge!"

"Revenge? Why seek revenge? These are all your comrades here!"

Naruto scoffed, "Comrades? How could you be comrades? You all just see me as a weapon, only now this weapon is pointing its spear at you."

"Naruto, didn't you tell me you wanted to become Hokage and protect your comrades in Konoha? Have you forgotten?"

Naruto retorted mercilessly, "You believe such a lie? No wonder you could never catch Orochimaru. When those idiots from Konoha bullied me, did they even consider me one of their comrades?"

Jiraiya's expression was somewhat sad: "As expected, Naruto, you're still holding onto the past. Naruto, nobody knows your situation, which is why you did this."

Naruto sneered, "Do you think you can just say you don't know? You've humiliated me, do you expect me to kneel down and thank you profusely?"

Jiraiya sincerely said to Naruto, "I know we can't make up for all the grievances you've suffered over the years, but we can all apologize to you and make amends with our actions."

"Forgive me? Why should I forgive you? You have to suffer the same pain as me for it to count as an apology!"

Among the Konoha ninja, one couldn't help but mock Naruto: "A demon fox is a demon fox; its nature is hard to change!"

Naruto's Tailed Beast Cloak swiftly extended a Nine-Tails chakra hand, and before anyone could react, the Konoha ninja who had mocked Naruto was caught in his grasp.

The Konoha ninja struggled incessantly, repeatedly shouting, "Let me go!"

Naruto looked at the ninja with a gloomy expression: "I recognize you. You hit me on the head with a rock back then, and it hurt for a long time!"

Sensing Naruto's killing intent, the ninja repeatedly cried for help, "Save me!"

"Naruto, no!" Jiraiya rushed towards Naruto, trying to stop him.

But Jiraiya was still a step too late.

"Wind Release: Wind Cutter!"

Wind-style chakra, as sharp as a blade, instantly sliced ​​the ninja in two.

The gushing blood splattered onto Naruto's face.

The bloody scene startled the Konoha ninja.

Jiraiya was filled with immense grief: "Naruto, why have you become like this?"

Naruto, with a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes, wiped the blood from his face: "Isn't this the normal look for me? Jiraiya, you don't naively think that after experiencing that kind of pain, I'll be as docile as a rabbit, do you?"

Naruto scanned everyone present, finally fixing his gaze on Jiraiya: "No wonder Minato Namikaze abandoned you. You hypocrites are truly disgusting!"

Jiraiya's body trembled: "Naruto, could it be that you...?"

“That’s right, I knew it all along. Minato Namikaze is my father.”

Kurenai hurriedly sought confirmation from Asuma, the son of the Third Hokage, who must know something.

Asuma nodded with difficulty: "That's right, Naruto Uzumaki is the son of the late Fourth Hokage."

The Konoha ninjas were utterly shocked when Asuma confirmed that Naruto was Minato Namikaze's child.

A large portion of the Konoha ninja here, although bound by the Third Hokage's orders not to bully or harm Naruto, had discriminated against and even insulted him.

Now that they know Naruto is the orphan of the Fourth Hokage, the guilt in their hearts makes them lower their heads in shame.

Chapter 245 Battle with Konoha

Jiraiya tried to persuade Naruto to let go of his hatred: "Since you know that Minato is your father, why do you still do this? Minato would never want to see you become like this."

"Ha, I've never met them. Do you think I have any feelings for them? Do you think I care about their feelings?" Naruto retorted coldly.

Jiraiya understood that Naruto's eyes were completely blinded by hatred, and Naruto had no intention of wasting any more words with Jiraiya.

A small black ball appeared in Naruto's palm.

Jiraiya sensed a powerful force within it, and when Naruto threw the black ball in his hand, Jiraiya shouted, "Scatter, everyone!"

Jiraiya dodged, but the small black ball struck the ground, instantly causing a massive explosion that killed several ninjas who couldn't dodge in time.

"A miniature Tailed Beast Ball... What's going on? Why does it seem like Naruto can completely manipulate the Tailed Beast chakra?"

Jiraiya looked serious, unable to understand the relationship between Naruto and Kurama.

But Naruto's next ninjutsu surprised Jiraiya greatly.

Naruto still had the Rasengan in his palm, but it was infused with wind-style chakra, making it resemble a shuriken. However, it appeared to be an unfinished ninjutsu.

However, even an unfinished ninjutsu is not to be underestimated by Jiraiya. If it has already reached the category of A-rank ninjutsu when it is unfinished, then wouldn't it definitely be an S-rank ninjutsu when it is completed?

Moreover, Naruto has now incorporated Tailed Beast Chakra and Sage Chakra into this ninjutsu, which means it has already entered the S-rank category of ninjutsu.

Jiraiya had never seen a ninja as talented as Naruto. At Naruto's age, he had mastered chakra nature transformation, sage chakra, and might even be able to perfectly control tailed beast chakra.

Naruto's current strength is undeniable; he is definitely a Jonin. In terms of destructive power alone, Naruto might even be stronger than some of the veteran, powerful Jonin.

Naruto hurled the Wind Release: Rasengan into the crowd of Konoha ninja.

Jiraiya's expression turned solemn. He had discovered the secret of Naruto's ninjutsu: the body must never come into contact with the Rasengan, which had been infused with wind-style chakra nature transformation. If it did, the violent wind-style chakra would instantly destroy all the cells in the human body.

Jiraiya bit his palm and cried out, "Summoning? A toad!"

Jiraiya summoned a toad from Mount Myōboku, which used chakra to transform into a building he imagined. Then, a door opened, sucking Naruto's Wind Release: Rasengan into the building.

Suddenly, the toad's entire body swelled up and it returned to its toad form.

Jiraiya asked worriedly, "How are you? Are you alright?"

The toad looked pained: "How could I be alright? Why was there Sage Chakra in the ninjutsu you made me absorb?!"

Just as Jiraiya was about to explain, the toad spat out a mouthful of blood and automatically dispelled the summoning jutsu, returning to Mount Myōboku.

Taking advantage of the opening, Kurenai suddenly appeared above Naruto: "Illusory Technique: Tree Binding Kill!"

As Kurenai disappeared from the sky, trees grew from beneath Naruto's feet and bound him.

Kurenai's figure emerged from the tree trunk: "Naruto! Calm down, maybe this is all a misunderstanding!"

Naruto sneered, "Ha, you think you can trap me with genjutsu? What an idiot!"

Asuma roared at Kurenai, "Kurenai! Run!"

"Immortal Technique? Thousand-Faced Wind!"

Kurama inside Naruto helped him break free of the genjutsu, and Naruto used Wind Release ninjutsu, unleashing thousands of wind blades at Kurenai.

"Spiritual communication? Iron-walled toad!"

Jiraiya summoned a small orange toad, which stood in front of Kurenai Yuhi at the last moment. The Iron Wall Toad, with its extremely strong defensive capabilities, managed to block Naruto's thousands of Wind Blades.

Asuma seized the opportunity to grab Kurenai and escape from Kazegiri's range.

Kurenai Yuhi, who had narrowly escaped death, was drenched in cold sweat. Had she been a moment later, she would have been struck by the wind-slicer and turned into a pile of minced meat.

Naruto showed absolutely no mercy; his attack was purely aimed at killing.

Jiraiya, who initially hesitated to take action, now had to make up his mind. Since reasoning with him was ineffective, he had no choice but to subdue Naruto and then properly teach him.

Like Naruto, Jiraiya entered Sage Mode.

Naruto sarcastically remarked, "Oh? So you've finally decided to get serious? It'll be more interesting when master and student fight each other!"

Jiraiya claps his hands together in a 11-step rhythm.

"Immortal Technique? A Thousand Needles!"

Jiraiya hardened his hair and launched it, shooting towards Naruto like a storm.

Multiple Nine-Tails chakra hands extended from Naruto's Tailed Beast Cloak, reaching out to block the countless hair-like needles in front of him.

"Ninpo Technique? Huangquannuma!"

Jiraiya formed hand seals again, creating a huge swamp.

Naruto, whose attention had just been drawn to Jiraiya's Thousand Needles, was unaware that his body was gradually sinking into them.

"Spiritual communication!"

A toad with a necklace bearing the character "忠" (loyalty) around its neck appeared at Naruto's feet.

Naruto used the momentum to escape the swamp, while Gamabunta gradually sank into it.

Gamachu glanced at Naruto, then at Jiraiya not far away, looking puzzled.

"Jiraiya, Naruto, what are you two doing?"

Jiraiya explained briefly, "Gama-chū, quickly dispel the summoning jutsu and return to Mount Myōboku. Then tell the old man and the others that Naruto is going to take revenge on Konoha!"

Unaware of what was happening, Gamabunta released the summoning jutsu, and Naruto's attack followed immediately.

While Jiraiya was explaining to Gamataka, Naruto used the Nine-Tails' chakra hand to grab Jiraiya's body and forcefully pull him over.

Meanwhile, Naruto had already created a giant Rasengan on his right hand using Sage Mode chakra.

"Spiral Shot Absorption!"

Jiraiya, who was being dragged there by the Nine-Tails' chakra hand, collided with the Giant Rasengan.

No blood splattered everywhere; Jiraiya's body had turned into a piece of wood, and he had successfully escaped.

The other ninjas from Konoha weren't idle either; they also began attacking Naruto.

Might Guy opened the Sixth Gate and used Morning Peacock, using the shockwaves and flames created by striking the air to attack Naruto.

Asuma also spat a large cloud of hot ash in Naruto's direction, igniting it with the flint from his molars, causing an explosion.

The other ninjas also unleashed their ninjutsu at Naruto.

In an instant, the ground shook violently, and dust billowed up everywhere.

After the attack ended, everyone assumed a defensive stance, wary of Naruto emerging from the smoke.

Suddenly!

A black Tailed Beast Ball emerged from the smoke.

A violent explosion occurred, and the Konoha ninjas were thrown about by the force of the blast.

As the smoke cleared, Naruto was seen to have some rather serious injuries.
