Naruto: The village was on the verge of bankruptcy, and I struck oil.

"What kind of relationship?" Tsunade asked curiously.

Jiraiya changed the subject.

"Ah, haha, actually we're not that close, haha."

Chapter 39 You are Konoha envoys, so stay with us and don't act rashly.

Jiraiya and Naruto embarked on their journey to the Sand Village in the Land of Wind, carrying out their mission.

After traveling for two days from the border, we arrived at the famous Demon Desert of the Land of Wind.

The Sand Village is located in the center of the Demon Desert.

"Let's go, Naruto." Jiraiya wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Having always been carefree and unrestrained, it was only under the scorching heat of the desert that I first felt that my long, elegant hair seemed a bit superfluous.

"Ok."

Naruto was very excited to see the exotic scenery.

They were hopping and skipping around.

Completely unaware of the cruelty of the desert.

We walked for half a day.

The high temperatures, scorching sand, the endless desert landscape, and the unchanging scenery drove him to madness.

"Perverted Sage, how much longer until we arrive?" Naruto panted.

"Judging from the map, it will probably take another two days to get here."

"Sigh." Naruto sighed.

I should have known better than to come and join the fun.

Naruto, feeling thirsty, reached for his water bottle.

I didn't touch it.

I can't see it when I look down.

Turning around, he saw that his water bottle was in Jiraiya's hand.

He sipped his drink.

"what."

Naruto jumped up and grabbed it.

The two were vying for a moment when they accidentally slipped.

The kettle fell to the ground.

Water spilled all over the ground, and the valley floor bubbled up.

The two of them didn't bring much water.

The two rushed to the rescue, only to find that there was only a little water left in the kettle.

This is terrible.

"Naruto, just bear with it. We'll pack some when we get to the oasis," Jiraiya comforted him.

Naruto was frustrated.

"How much longer will it take?"

He felt like he was being roasted alive.

Jiraiya looked at the map.

"It'll be soon, it'll be soon, let's go."

I casually put the kettle away.

"Give me a sip," Naruto called out.

"Just bear with it, you can drink your fill when we get to the oasis."

Naruto let out a mournful cry.

The two continued their trek through the desert.

We walked for another two hours.

"Perverted Sage, an oasis?" Naruto looked around.

Where is the oasis when all around is a yellow desert?

Jiraiya checked the map.

"There is indeed an oasis here."

"I want to drink water."

Naruto couldn't take it anymore and rushed up to snatch Jiraiya's water bottle.

"Hey, wait a minute." Jiraiya dodged.

The two are fighting over a water bottle.

Sudden.

The earth trembled.

In the distance, yellow sand spewed out like a volcanic eruption.

The two stopped what they were doing and looked up.

A sandworm, hundreds of meters long, sprang up from the ground.

The dust rose up, obscuring the sky.

Naruto was stunned when he saw the monster he had never seen before.

"What kind of monster is this?"

“It’s a sandworm.” Jiraiya frowned.

Sandworms don't usually make such a commotion.

Dust settled.

Their vision became clearer.

The sandworm crashed to the ground, probably preparing to burrow underground.

However, an unexpected event occurred.

sizzle.

The two then heard the thunderous sound characteristic of lightning release techniques.

The sandworm's body burst forth with dense bolts of lightning.

Jiraiya was startled.

Is someone catching sandworms?

"Naruto, let's go take a look." Jiraiya led Naruto forward.

The sandworm emitted a deep buzzing sound when it was electrocuted.

It struggled desperately, trying to shake off the electric shocks.

However, more lights came on.

Jiraiya became even more curious.

Who exactly is this person?

Using Lightning Release, could it be a ninja from the Hidden Cloud Village?

When you reach the distance of Shami.

"Don't get close!"

A sound came from beneath the desert.

Gravel surged.

Two ninjas rose from the sand.

The two ninjas questioned Jiraiya and his companion.

Who are you?

Jiraiya clearly saw that both ninjas were wearing Sunagakure headbands.

"Greetings, we are envoys from Konoha Village, here to pay our respects to the Kazekage," Jiraiya announced.

The two ninjas exchanged a glance.

One of them said, "You two, don't move. You're disturbing our hunt. You can't afford to pay for it."

The other person slowly blended into the sand and disappeared.

"So they were hunting, that's amazing."

Naruto's eyes widened in curiosity.

"Uncle, what are you holding in your hand?"

Naruto was referring to the long, tubular weapon held by the Sand Ninja on the other side, which had a large, thick cylinder on top.

It's somewhat similar to a toy water gun.

The Sand Ninja on the other side ignored him.

Naruto had no choice but to make a fool of himself.

After a while.

The sandworm seemed unable to withstand the pressure and collapsed with a loud crash.
