In Konoha, Naruto lies down

"Well, you've definitely grown up, and you'll be able to start a family in a few years."

Jiraiya turned and stared at him, sitting astride the railing, his shadow reflected on the rooftop, and asked with the look of a patriarch.

"Come to think of it, did you bring that girl from the Yamanaka family to see me last winter?"

"Now, how are the people?"

"Not much has changed." Naruto hid in the shadows, yawned at the dense sunlight under the eaves, "Everyone is busy, and I haven't seen them much recently."

"You idler, they are all still Genin, naturally they are no match for you." Jiraiya put away the telescope directly, and today's collection of materials ended here.

"But I still suggest you not to take part in the Chunin Exam. In a few days, you will hear from Tsunade. You are waiting, and so am I."

"Those idle Konoha high-ups have relented. You can just register as a Jinchūriki and you won't be restricted by your status as a Jinchūriki anymore."

"Is it because of the Nine-Tails?" Naruto looked up at Jiraiya.

The atmosphere between the two was one of relaxed chit-chat, a casual conversation between a lecherous old man and an ordinary yellow-haired Genin while he was collecting materials.

The summer days are long and the sun is scorching.

Jiraiya hadn't realized the seriousness of the matter yet and just thought that Naruto was being a little too unreasonable.

After all, anyone who knows that there is a monster sealed inside his body and that he is feared and even hated by the villagers everywhere is an unbearable burden in life for an adult.

Not to mention that these things were placed on the shoulders of an orphan. From childhood to adulthood, he could not escape being feared, manipulated, and even regarded as a weapon as a matter of course.

But this was the fate of most Jinchūriki, and being chosen as a Jinchūriki was inherently unfortunate. Jiraiya had no better solution, so he could only try his best to teach him ninjutsu and support him.

Maybe it was too late, but he also understood that some things were beyond his control. At least, things were not so bad now.

For a ninja, it is not easy to gain real fame, and power is something that cannot be touched. Although Jiraiya was not in favor of letting Naruto join the upper echelons, Tsunade persuaded him.

As long as Naruto is listed among the top leaders, the road ahead might not be so difficult. Even if he were to die in battle one day, at least Naruto would not be in a difficult situation.

"Well, the Nine-Tails is indeed troublesome." Jiraiya was still choosing his words, thinking about how to enlighten Naruto, "That kind of thing cannot be changed. The relationship between the tailed beasts and the Jinchūriki is very troublesome."

"If the tailed beast is forcibly stripped away, the Jinchūriki could die at any time."

Naruto understood what Jiraiya meant. He was asking him to calm down and try to think positively about the situation. At least as the person involved, he should be mentally strong.

But this is the truth, but it’s hard to put it into words.

Jiraiya paused for a long time and hesitated for a while before speaking.

"The Nine-Tailed Fox is not completely uncontrollable. If you can try to gradually release the power to control the Nine-Tailed Fox, it will be a great help to you."

"No thanks." Naruto said.

"Ok?"

Jiraiya was a little surprised by Naruto's answer. He thought Naruto was mentally exhausted. Perhaps there was something wrong with his mentality, but that was understandable.

Adolescent boys are naturally sensitive, and there is a tailed beast sealed in their bodies.

"That doesn't mean you have to. If you don't want to, then you can..." Jiraiya changed his tone. He was more inclined to let Naruto master the power of the tailed beast, but in the current situation...

Since Naruto's mentality is unstable, it doesn't matter if we postpone this matter for now.

"That's not what I meant." Naruto interrupted his chatter with a cough and said to Jiraiya with a serious face, "Lecherous Sage, there is no Kyuubi in my body anymore."

Jiraiya's words stopped abruptly, he jumped up from the railing, walked quickly to Naruto and lifted the clothes off his stomach.

"The Four Symbols Seal is gone?" Jiraiya broke out in a cold sweat and looked up at Naruto, "Are you okay?"

"Do I look like someone in trouble?" Naruto ripped off his clothes in a bad mood. "It's just the Nine-Tails. Not all Jinchūriki are weaker than the tailed beasts."

Jiraiya was stunned for a long time, and then looked at Naruto's expression and was completely speechless. He had so many questions, but he didn't know where to start.

"When did this happen?"

"It's been a while." Naruto touched his nose, "I don't know how to tell others, anyway, I'm not the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki anymore."

"Where's Kyuubi?"

Naruto wanted to say in my living room, but felt that this answer was too shocking, so he changed his words.

"I don't know, maybe he ran away."

Hearing this, Jiraiya began to doubt his life. He even felt that the scene before him was a little unreal. The Nine-Tailed Fox had escaped? His understanding, everything, was shattered.

"How did they do that? Who stripped the Nine-Tailed Fox out?"

"I don't know. The seal was gone when I woke up." Naruto lied casually, "The fox in my stomach is gone too, but I'm glad that I can use some of the Nine-Tails' chakra?"

"Are you really okay? I'll have to ask Tsunade to check you later." Jiraiya looked around Naruto, and even confirmed it several times before he believed that the Nine-Tailed Fox was really gone.

"A portion of chakra? Approximately how much? Have you tried it?" Jiraiya asked.

About one and a half nine tails, how can you say that, a part has already exceeded 100%. This is not a part, it is clearly an overflow.

"I haven't tried it much, but it's quite a lot anyway," Naruto explained, "Anyway, it should be a good thing, but I haven't told anyone about it yet."

"What about Tsunade?" Jiraiya asked suspiciously.

"No, I haven't told Lady Tsunade yet." Naruto denied it flatly. "If the top management wants to develop the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, I'm afraid the idea will be in vain."

"But you still proposed the idea of ​​entering the upper echelons?" Jiraiya narrowed his eyes. At this moment he realized that Naruto had really grown up.

"Naruto, you're a bit mean."

"Ahem, lecherous sage, I don't understand what you are saying." Naruto said, "I only told you, so don't leak the secret in advance."

Jiraiya looked at Naruto dimly for a few seconds, and felt that this boy was more like a little monster.

Naturally, he had channels to learn about what had happened in the village during this period, and he also knew that the top leaders had ideas about developing jinchūriki.

Tsunade's meaning was also his, and she would never agree to the top management doing this. In their eyes, Naruto was just a Jinchūriki, but Naruto was Jiraiya's disciple.

As long as he and Tsunade disagreed, no matter how much the higher-ups argued, it would be useless. But he wasn't sure if Danzo and the two advisors would have other tricks up their sleeves, such as using village public opinion to put pressure on them.

It was precisely because of his concerns about these variables that Jiraiya, after communicating with Tsunade, gave up his plan to enter the Rain Country to gather intelligence and rushed back early.

In order to implement Naruto's seemingly absurd idea, he entered the upper echelons as the patriarch of the Uzumaki clan.

Since Gaara of the Wind Country was able to lock down the position of Kazekage in advance, it's no surprise that Naruto has entered the upper echelons. Even though Konoha hasn't had a precedent for someone entering the upper echelons at such a young age, precedents are meant to be broken.

The situations of Konoha and Sand Village are similar, so there is no need to laugh at each other, as both are in a state of transition.

Kakashi's generation had experienced war, and the ninjas who survived were indeed outstanding. However, there were only a few ninjas who were better than Kakashi, and that group of jonin would almost certainly rely on Kakashi's contemporaries to support them.

Looking at the middle class of the ninja, there weren't many talented youngsters. Right now, Konoha's future depended almost entirely on the children being trained by the Third Hokage. If they came across a truly outstanding youngster, why not set a precedent?

Jiraiya was almost 70 to 80 percent sure that the top management would give in.

Because the development of Jinchūriki has been blocked by Tsunade and him, if the top management still wants to gain benefits from Jinchūriki in the future, they can only agree.

This is also the compromise situation that he and Tsunade both hope to see. Naruto contributes to Konoha in the name of a high-level official, but has autonomy and is no longer a weapon of the village.

Soon to come is Uzumaki Naruto, the head of the Uzumaki clan, a disciple of the three ninjas, and the youngest high-ranking official of Konoha.

But now...everything has changed.

The uninformed higher-ups would still agree, but Naruto was no longer the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Konoha lost its tailed beast and gained a young higher-up.

The idea of ​​the Konoha high-level officials to continue to seek benefits from the Jinchūriki is doomed to fail, and they may even lose a position in the Konoha high-level officials.

Jiraiya could imagine how green their faces would be when the higher-ups learned the truth.

It's a bit bad, but it's good for Naruto.

Jiraiya's only worry was that the Nine-Tails was missing. If the Nine-Tails fell into the hands of other villages, it would be a great threat to Konoha.

Looking at Jiraiya who was slowly falling into deep thought, Naruto spoke first, speaking casually.

"Slutty Immortal, I'm going back first. Remember to keep it a secret."

Jiraiya didn't know what to say, and subconsciously wanted to call Naruto to find out the whole story. But on second thought, he gave up the idea.

He no longer has an apprentice, and it's a good thing that Naruto lost the Nine-Tails. He should just find a tavern to calm down and sort this out.

"You're so nagging." Jiraiya muttered.

Jiraiya let Naruto leave like this, looking at Naruto's back, he breathed a sigh of relief for no reason. The boy's shoulders were already carrying too much, it would be good to lighten up a little.

The rest of the things are up to you to bear.

With a clattering sound, Naruto walked down the stairs slowly with his hands in his pockets, but he was not at peace inside.

Finally, this day had come. From now on, Konoha was Konoha, and he was him. The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki no longer existed, and the shackles on his body were loosened.

Let me tell you a joke. People from another world fought for a piece of garbage. The protagonist rose up vigorously over the next thirty years, overwhelmed a group of geniuses, and swept away all the villains.

Finally, his strength reached the sky and no one could defeat him, and then he ate a mouthful of garbage.

Isn't this disgusting?

The so-called peace in the ninja world, the whitewashing of villains, and the redemption of each other are all garbage to Naruto. He doesn't care who wants to do what, he only knows what he wants to do.

He lay down because he could grow stronger faster lying down than standing up.

This world has never been so beautiful. The dead crawl to their graves, and the strong are reincarnated. Bloodline is supreme, and the power of the Otsutsuki has caused all order to collapse. The ninja world has become an Otsutsuki ranch, and people have become beasts and running dogs.

He had a small ambition in his heart. If the system didn't fail, he hoped to one day tear off the robes of the God of Death and the mask of the evil god to see how they were willing to let a few Otsutsuki continue to jump around.

What about the face?

To revive the glory of Uzumaki and rebuild the order of the ninja world, I, a stranger, have to rely on myself!

send!

Chapter 217 Ino's New Mission

"You're distracted again?" Ino said angrily, "This is the third time."

"Oh, sorry." Naruto came back to his senses and said apologetically, "Maybe I didn't sleep well last night and I'm too sleepy. By the way, where were you just now?"

In the barbecue restaurant, the two met alone and sat opposite each other.

The seat was near the window, with two opened bottles of orange soda on the table, five or six plates of sliced ​​meat on a small cart, two small plates of watermelon on the left and right, and a variety of sauces in front.

Ino was dressed elegantly, wearing a small vest with black and blue horizontal stripes and a pair of loose beige trousers. It was obvious that she had dressed up carefully for going out.

In contrast, a certain yellow-haired man was much more casual, with messy blond hair, a white short-sleeved shirt and black pants, and a lazy look wherever he went.

"You." Ino rolled her eyes. "Don't you usually love to sleep? You sleep everywhere, even in Lady Tsunade's office."

"That time it was because I waited too long and was really bored." Naruto defended, "There was no one around, and they had to call me over so early."

Ino's expression was complicated, and she asked quietly, "So you just slept on the table?"

"That's not important." Naruto changed the subject awkwardly, "What mission did you just mention? Could you repeat it again?"

"The Fire Temple." Ino supported her body with one hand on the table and started grilling the meat with the other hand. With a sizzling sound, white smoke suddenly rose and her voice rang out again.

"Teacher Asuma said that the client is a monk from the Fire Temple. I heard that someone attacked the Fire Temple and went after Master Ji Lu. But Master Ji Lu was not there, so..."

Ino spoke methodically, her hands never stopping. Her white wrists were nimble. She quickly flipped the grilled meat over, then expertly lowered her head to mix the sauce.

Her blonde hair was tied in a high ponytail and tucked behind her ears.

She kept on talking, not noticing Naruto's increasingly silent expression. Ino stopped only when she realized the yellow-haired boy was too quiet.

"What's wrong with you?" she asked puzzledly.

"This mission is too dangerous." Naruto coughed and subconsciously touched his nose nervously, "It's really too much for the Genin team to carry out such a mission."

"You underestimate us." Ino complained, "Besides, isn't Asuma-sensei still here? There won't be any danger."

"After all, we've done a lot of dangerous missions together, so this one shouldn't be anything special."

"I've been to the Fire Temple." Naruto said after a moment's silence, "Master Jilu is a... well, anyway, the opponent is an Akatsuki member that Master Jilu can't handle. The mission is too dangerous."

Ji Lu's life was worth 30 million taels, and with Akatsuki taking on missions for the money, Ji Lu had a premonition that he would be found. However, at that time, there was no sign of Akatsuki's activities in the Land of Fire, so he didn't take too many precautions.

But now, Di Lu is not dead.

Naruto didn't know if it was his own warning that worked, or if it was just a butterfly effect. But one thing was certain, Kaku hadn't gotten the head of the Earth Lord yet, so he would have to go back sooner or later.

"Idiot! But this is a mission, how can it not be dangerous." Ino picked up the grilled meat and put it into Naruto's bowl. "Even if you know it's dangerous, so what? This is the job of a ninja."

"No, I'm going to find Lady Tsunade. I want to go too." Naruto said after taking a sip of juice.

"Will it not be dangerous if you go?" Ino was speechless.

"Of course, I'm very strong, you know that." Naruto said half-jokingly, "Besides, I'd be worried about you if I didn't go, and you wouldn't be able to rest well if you stayed in the village."
