Naruto, what kind of Hokage would you be if you didn't roll around!

"Naruto bears a strong resemblance to those two people..."

"Those two people refer to..."

Jiraiya sighed: "The two most important people to Tsunade."

Kakashi's heart skipped a beat; he had heard about it before.

That must be the senior named Kato Dan, and Tsunade's younger brother, Nawaki.

Both of them died on the battlefield of the ninja world.

Jiraiya smiled and said, "Of course, it's not just for that reason. I can also continue to teach Naruto on the journey, so it's a win-win situation."

"Besides that, there is another very important reason..."

"What is it?"

Jiraiya's expression became more solemn and serious than ever before.

He said in a deep voice, "Kakashi, you've heard of him..."

"The Akatsuki organization?"

"The Akatsuki?!"

Kakashi frowned.

Jiraiya said in a deep voice, "That's right, this is a mysterious and terrifying organization that I stumbled upon while investigating Orochimaru's whereabouts..."

"After Orochimaru defected from Konoha, he also joined this organization, but he has since left."

"Based on the intelligence I've gathered so far..."

"The Akatsuki organization is composed entirely of S-rank rogue ninja who defected from various ninja villages!"

"The number of members is probably around ten, with two people forming a small team to carry out operations."

“Each of these people is extremely dangerous and possesses bizarre and powerful abilities!”

"For example, the one who slaughtered the Uchiha clan..."

"Itachi Uchiha!"

Kakashi was startled.

"Orochimaru, Itachi Uchiha..."

"Each of them is a top-tier criminal. How could that organization have ten of these guys?!"

Jiraiya nodded: "Therefore, it's never too much to be concerned about or vigilant about the danger level of this organization!"

"If this cannot be controlled, it may threaten the entire ninja world in the future!"

Kakashi asked, "Then, what is the Akatsuki's purpose?"

"I'm not entirely sure, but I have a guess..."

"It's very likely related to the Tailed Beasts!"

Kakashi immediately understood.

"Naruto is also their target?"

"That's why, Jiraiya-sama..."

"Yes, keeping him by our side is both to protect him and to help him grow up quickly and develop the ability to protect himself and even fight back."

"Although Naruto is exceptionally talented and his strength is not to be underestimated, he is still far inferior to the monsters of the Akatsuki..."

Kakashi said, "Lord Jiraiya, besides protecting Naruto, is there another meaning behind what you're telling me?"

Jiraiya smiled and said, "You are well aware of the current situation in the village. Although Sarutobi-sensei is still alive, Danzo Shimura is very aggressive. Before everything stabilizes, there will inevitably be turmoil and unrest..."

"Members of the Akatsuki organization might take advantage of the situation."

"This is when we need Kakashi's power..."

Kakashi sighed, "Although I will do my best, I'm afraid I'll be powerless against a monster of Orochimaru's caliber..."

Jiraiya said, "If you can't do it alone, find more people to do it together."

"In short, I'm entrusting this matter to you."

Kakashi nodded: "Okay, I understand."

Jiraiya patted him on the shoulder.

"Pay more attention to Sasuke."

"Besides Itachi Uchiha from the Akatsuki, Orochimaru is also eyeing him covetously and might very well launch a surprise attack..."

"Moreover, that child's own thoughts may become extreme, and you, as his master, will need to guide him more..."

"Well, I see."

"Alright, then I'll leave it to you. I'll take Naruto on his journey tomorrow."

Jiraiya waved and left.

Kakashi's heart grew heavier.

"Naruto, Sasuke..."

"It seems that our once warm and cozy daily life is gradually coming to an end..."

……

The next day, Naruto was contemplating starting to train in a new ninjutsu.

That is, the Wind Release: Vacuum Blade, which is a system reward.

However, there were no suitable swords or knives at home. While hesitating, he suddenly heard shouts coming from downstairs.

"Naruto."

Naruto's heart skipped a beat; that voice was...

He hurriedly pushed open the window and looked out, and saw that familiar figure, arms crossed, leaning against a big tree waiting for him.

"Good, you lecherous immortal!"

Naruto was overjoyed and immediately jumped out of the window!

boom--

His figure fell heavily as he rushed over and arrived in front of Jiraiya.

"You lecherous immortal! What brings you here?!"

Naruto hadn't seen Jiraiya for a long time since the day they found him, rescued the Hokage, and defeated Orochimaru.

"Are you here to congratulate me on my promotion to Chunin?"

Jiraiya laughed heartily: "I suppose so, but there's an even more important task we need to complete together."

"What mission?"

"I'm going to take you to find someone."

"who?"

"One of the legendary Sannin, on par with me and Orochimaru..."

"Tsunade."

Naruto's heart skipped a beat: "Tsunade? What kind of person is she?"

Jiraiya smiled and fell into his memories.

"Tsunade?"

"She is the granddaughter of the First Hokage, the most beautiful woman in the ninja world, and the one who established the rules for medical ninjas, known as the Medical Saint of the Ninja World..."

"Besides that, she's also a woman with a huge gambling addiction, but unfortunately, she has terrible luck at gambling, and is known as..."

"The legendary fat sheep!"

Naruto, upon hearing what lay ahead, couldn't help but feel a surge of longing...

Granddaughter of the First Hokage, the most beautiful woman in the ninja world, and known as a medical genius!

However, upon hearing the rest, he couldn't help but purse his lips.

"What? Isn't he just a gambling addict?"

"As expected, the legendary Sannin are all extraordinary..."

"Orochimaru is a monster, you perverted sage are a lecher, and Tsunade is a gambler!"

Jiraiya was furious: "You bastard, don't look down on the Sannin!"

Naruto's eyes darted around, and he chuckled, "Perverted Sage, how could I possibly look down on the Sannin? I will do my best to find Lady Tsunade this time!"

"However... could you continue to guide my cultivation on the journey?"

Jiraiya had long understood his thoughts.

"Hmph, let's see how you perform, Naruto."

"If you perform well, I will not only guide your training, but also teach you new and powerful ninjutsu!"

Naruto's eyes lit up instantly: "R-really?!"

"I will definitely perform well!"

Jiraiya smiled and said, "Alright, let's get ready to go!"

"Now?"

"Of course!"

"it is good!"

Naruto hurriedly went upstairs to pack his luggage, though there wasn't much to pack.

In addition to his necessities, he carried a considerable amount of extra weight.

Jiraiya understood that he wanted to emulate Rock Lee's rigorous training methods...

"This guy really never slacks off, not for a single moment..."

"What a terrible brat..."

Naruto chuckled and explained, "I went to see Lee at the hospital. He needs to rest for a while because he used the Eight Gates Formation."

"He told me that he didn't regret it because he had achieved his wish, defeated Neji, gained everyone's recognition, and was promoted to Chunin, which made him very happy."

"He also told me that the special training he had undergone was like hell on earth..."

"But it is precisely because of this that there is a possibility of defeating Neji."

"After hearing that, I realized that I've been too lax lately, so I need to learn from him!"

"His two legs together must be carrying a weight of at least a thousand pounds!"

"I didn't expect it to be this much from the start. All the weights I'm carrying only add up to four or five hundred pounds."

Jiraiya couldn't help but rub his forehead.

"Naruto, where did you let your guard down?!"

"During that month of the Chunin Exams alone, you not only trained in techniques to counter genjutsu and pressure point techniques, but you also learned those difficult and obscure sealing techniques from me!"

"Not to mention the One Thread Lamp Array, the Three-Sided Seal is difficult enough, and you've even learned my Heavenly Canopy Array!"

"Even though I haven't mastered the Vortex Clan's Vajra Sealing Technique, I've still managed to unleash its power in times of crisis!"

"I don't know how hard that Rock Lee works, but he can't possibly surpass you!"

"It's just that physical training may seem more difficult and exciting!"

Naruto scratched his head: "Perverted Sage, are you praising me?"

"Of course, you idiot!"

"He's already such a genius, yet he's still working so hard, making everyone else seem so lazy!"

Naruto chuckled: "Well, there's nothing I can do about it. After all, my dream is to become Hokage!"
