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

Having already witnessed the power of Wood Release on Orochimaru, Yosuke did not believe that Madara Uchiha was weak.

However, this person should have died long ago.

However, this world has strange ninjutsu that can revive the dead, pull the dead out of the Pure Land, and give them life.

Yosuke couldn't guess whether Madara Uchiha had been faking his death and hiding until now, or whether he had been resurrected through some strange ninjutsu.

Furthermore, the Sage of Six Paths once said that if the nine tailed beasts were to gather together, the ten-tailed beast would be reborn.

The Akatsuki organization has now collected four tailed beasts, leaving five tailed beasts remaining.

Time is running out.

Chapter 302 Short Book Street

Yosuke, having parted ways with Jiraiya in the mountains, returned to the streets of Konoha.

Yosuke, who had intended to go straight back to the hotel, suddenly stopped in his tracks, his expression filled with disbelief.

Yosuke appeared instantly in the forest outside Konoha Village.

Yosuke stood in the forest with a furrowed brow.

Because Yosuke clearly sensed the aura of a demon just now.

This demonic aura doesn't belong to either Gyutaro or Osamu. Although it's faint, it's certain that it's extremely similar to Yosuke's demonic aura.

However, when Yosuke followed the scent to the forest, the connection was suddenly severed.

Yosuke couldn't understand who it was. Without his blood, how could someone have turned into a demon?

On the other side outside Konoha Village.

Kimimaro breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness I wasn't discovered. It seems Lord Orochimaru was right. That guy named Ubuyashiki Yosuke can indeed sense my presence."

Before leaving, Orochimaru revealed the existence of Yosuke Ubuyashiki to Naruto and Kimimaro.

They were told that Yosuke was the Demon King, and that Kimimaro, who was transformed into a demon through Yosuke's flesh and blood, could be sensed as long as he was a certain distance away from Yosuke.

Orochimaru also gave Kimimaro a talisman that sealed the power of the god, allowing him to conceal his presence.

Kimimaro initially didn't take it seriously, but he didn't expect to be discovered as soon as he got close to Konoha.

Fortunately, Kimimaro used that talisman to conceal his presence.

As long as the power of the deity within the talisman does not dissipate, Kimimaro will not be discovered.

Naruto asked, "Kimimaro, was that person very strong?"

Kimimaro's expression was very solemn: "He's very strong. I can feel that he can control me at will."

Naruto's expression instantly turned ugly.

Naruto had never met Yosuke and did not know how strong Yosuke was.

Since Kimimaro was under Yosuke's control, Naruto decided to eliminate this threat.

Naruto warned, "Kimimaro, when the plan begins, I'll deal with that man and Hiruzen Sarutobi, and you'll deal with the daimyo from various countries who are coming to Konoha to watch the finals."

Kimimaro nodded and said, "I understand."

To avoid being discovered again, Naruto and Kimimaro chose to rest temporarily in Tanabata Street near Konoha until the start of the Chunin Exams finals.

the next day.

Jiraiya, along with Hyuga Neji and Rock Lee, headed to Tanabata Town to find Tsunade.

They had a preliminary plan for their cultivation.

Jiraiya taught them defensive ninjutsu.

It wasn't that Jiraiya was unwilling to teach them offensive ninjutsu, but rather that there simply wasn't enough time.

Jiraiya had observed Sasuke and Kaori's training in the mountains.

I think that even if Neji and Lee were given half a year, it would be almost impossible for them to catch up to the point where they could fight Sasuke and Kaori on equal terms.

In these short three weeks, all we can hope for is that they learn some defensive ninjutsu to prolong the battle as much as possible.

Moreover, these defensive ninjutsu are not only practical, but also visually stunning, creating a sense of even competition for the audience.

Ninjutsu was not a problem for Hyuga Neji.

Although the Hyuga clan learns Gentle Fist techniques that are used in conjunction with the Byakugan, it doesn't mean that Neji lacks the talent to learn ninjutsu.

Therefore, Neji was able to quickly learn the ninjutsu that Jiraiya taught him.

The only troublesome one is Rock Lee.

He has no ninjutsu aptitude, and knows neither genjutsu nor ninjutsu. He has achieved his current strength entirely through hard work and taijutsu alone.

But it was precisely this persistent effort that made Jiraiya like this melon-headed boy.

Therefore, Jiraiya put a lot of effort into training Rock Lee.

During a break, Jiraiya asked Rock Lee, "Lee, you've witnessed Kaori's attack style firsthand. I've heard that her attack style is extremely agile. How do you feel about the difference between you and her?"

Rock Lee stroked his chin and pondered: "If it's just about speed, I can keep up with her when I open four doors, and I should be able to surpass her when I open five doors."

Jiraiya seemed to be deep in thought. The Eight Gates is a technique that releases excess energy by removing the body's restrictions on chakra.

While one can gain several times the power, the caster will suffer damage in the process.

And it didn't last long.

Jiraiya felt that Neji Hyuga had no chance of winning against Sasuke.

But Lee made Jiraiya feel that he might be able to win.

Lee's only advantage is his Eight Gates Formation and his steel fist.

The downside is that it cannot be used for prolonged battles; the longer the battle goes on, the heavier the burden on the Eight Gates Formation becomes.

In other words, to win against Xiang, Xiao Li needs to make the most of his strengths.

Xiang's strengths lie in her swordsmanship, sealing techniques, and medical ninjutsu.

The unique physique of the Uzumaki clan makes Kaori very suitable for prolonged battles, which makes Lee's advantage very weak.

Jiraiya already had a plan in mind.

Along the way, Jiraiya focused on training Lee's explosive power, so that Lee could exert more of his strength in a limited time.

As for Hyuga Neji, Jiraiya emphasized that he should train in Earth Release ninjutsu to counter Sasuke's Lightning Breathing.

Then, he continuously used genjutsu to train Neji, making Neji resistant to genjutsu and able to counter it.

The Sharingan's genjutsu of the Uchiha clan is unparalleled in the ninja world.

Jiraiya was able to teach so many outstanding disciples because he was able to teach according to their individual aptitudes.

Under Jiraiya's tutelage, Neji Hyuga and Rock Lee are making steady progress.

Soon, the three of them arrived at Tanabata Street.

Because Konoha was launching the joint Chunin Exams, Tanabata Street, which had borrowed the light, decided to hold a gambling tournament to make a quick buck by not wasting the sudden influx of people.

The streets of Tanabata were packed with people because of the gambling convention, and gambling venues were everywhere.

Neji and Lee, who had never seen anything like this before, were completely overwhelmed.

"No need to look anymore. You two are still a bit too old to play here. Here's a task for you two."

Upon hearing about the mission, Neji and Lee immediately became serious.

"The first task is to find an inn, and the second task is to find a woman nicknamed 'Big Fat Sheep'."

Xiao Li asked in confusion, "Aren't we here to find Lady Tsunade? Why are we looking for a fat sheep?"

"Tsunade loves gambling, but she always loses, which is why she's nicknamed 'Big Fat Sheep.' Alright, let's get started!"

Jiraiya impatiently explained for a while before sending Lee and Neji away.

After Lee and Neji left, Jiraiya's suppressed true nature was instantly revealed.

He grinned lewdly, just about to have some fun, when he suddenly noticed a head with golden hair in the crowd.

Thinking it was Naruto, Jiraiya rushed into the crowd and grabbed the person, only to find that it wasn't Naruto at all.

Jiraiya lost all interest and left dejectedly.

Elsewhere, Naruto, wearing a hood, clearly saw Jiraiya.

Naruto looked serious.

Why is he here?

Chapter 303 Jiraiya and Tsunade

Naruto could not know that Jiraiya knew his whereabouts, which is why he came to Tanabata to look for him, or perhaps he just happened to come to Tanabata for some other reason.

Regardless of the reason, if Jiraiya discovers Naruto's presence, Naruto's plans will inevitably be affected.

To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, and also to find out why Jiraiya appeared in Tanabata Street.

Naruto planned to secretly follow Jiraiya for a while.

Because from the time Naruto and Kimimaro decided to come to Tanabata to rest, there were only three days left.

If Jiraiya came to Tanabata specifically to find him, then things will get complicated.

That means someone is following Naruto, and they don't know who it is.

Naruto and Kimimaro followed Jiraiya for a day.

They discovered that Jiraiya wasn't going to gamble, but rather to brothels for entertainment.

Kimimaro asked doubtfully, "Naruto, is Jiraiya really here to see us?"

"I'm not sure, but just in case, let's leave Tanabata Street first."

Naruto immediately decided to leave.

If Jiraiya still comes looking for him after he leaves, then it's certain that Jiraiya's target is him.
