Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 105 Jiraiya's Teachings
"Around the time of the Third Hokage's funeral, the Sand Ninja will definitely come to Konoha for negotiations. When that time comes, go find out if there are Kankuro and Temari in the team. If so, find them and tell them that Uzumaki Naruto wants to talk to them."

As he was speaking, Naruto pulled out a Flying Thunder God Kunai from his pocket and handed it to Bai Yi: "If they agree, you can find a way to contact me and I will fly to your side immediately."

He wasn't afraid that Bai Yi had no way to contact him. A mature Anbu had to learn to come up with solutions on his own.

Bai Yi knelt silently and said in a deep voice, "Yes."

"Also, compile a list of your abilities and send it to me."

Bai Yi raised his head again. This matter involved the secret of ninja. Giving up one's ability was equivalent to giving up one's life.

The question is, can Bai Yi really risk everything for Naruto?
As if sensing his concern, Naruto said calmly, "You can choose not to hand it over."

He didn't say whether handing over the weapons involved loyalty or not. His idea was simple: if he were to fight Itachi at that time, it would be easier to cooperate with him if he knew his teammates' abilities.

If he doesn't hand it over, it means that he is not pure enough, and then Naruto will consider this and decide whether to continue using him.

Bai Yi was silent for a long time: "...Yes."

"I understand. That's it for now."

Naruto formed seals with his hands and with a "bang" he released his shadow clone.

……

Time returns to the present.

The funeral process went very quickly for Naruto. It didn't take long before the flower-laying process came. Naruto placed the white flowers in front of the tombstone. As the team slowly returned, the funeral came to an end.

There was nothing so peaceful behind all this, at least for Asuma Sarutobi.

During this period, in addition to dealing with his father's funeral, he also had to face questions from some of his clansmen.

These doubts were related to Uzumaki Naruto. They expressed their objections to Hiruzen's will, but due to the identity of the Third Hokage and the fact that he had passed away, they did not dare to make it public, so they had to hint to his son in overt or covert ways.

This caused Asma to smoke more frequently recently.

Apart from the Sarutobi clan, the reactions of the other villagers varied, and quite a number of them also had complaints about Naruto.

They were somewhat dissatisfied with their children's closeness to Naruto. Years of inertia had made them accustomed to criticizing the Nine-tailed Demon Fox - yes, they always selectively forgot and directly equated Naruto with the demon fox.

Some of these people were even very close to the Sarutobi clan, so they spontaneously began to "share a common hatred for the enemy."

This phenomenon is very strange because generally speaking, the opposition often targets the superstructure or powerful people, but they chose to target a teenager.

Is it because the weak are turning their swords on the weaker? Or is it because Naruto really has some real power?
In short, these positive or negative phenomena will bring changes to Naruto's future life.

……

The next morning.

Naruto woke up early, put on the simple luggage he had packed in advance, checked the house again, and pushed open the door after making sure there was no problem.

Jiraiya had been waiting on the street for a long time. He glanced at Naruto and said in a relaxed tone, "You look pretty good. I thought you would act dull."

"It's okay, it's okay," Naruto raised his head and smiled at Jiraiya: "The lecherous sage needs to cheer up."

"is it?"

Jiraiya recalled his past with Hiruzen and sighed softly, thinking that this boy was stronger than I thought, and coughed.

The two of them walked out of the village. On the way, Jiraiya suddenly spoke and asked seriously:
"Naruto, you are now able to control the Nine-Tails very well. The Third Hokage has told me this. Now you need to make up for your shortcomings so that you can better deal with various situations in the future."

"Analyze yourself, what are your current shortcomings?"

"Are you testing my understanding..." Naruto thought for a moment and said to him:
"It's an illusion. I lack the means to counter illusions. If I fight alone against an illusion master, I'll easily fall."

He deliberately mentioned illusions to see if Jiraiya could give him some advice on how to deal with Uchiha Itachi.

"Oh?"

Jiraiya raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised by his self-analysis: "I didn't expect you to be so targeted."

He pondered for a moment, recalling various countermeasures against illusions in his mind, and slowly said, "Generally speaking, there are three solutions to illusions."

"One, rely on yourself to remove the illusion;"

"Second, use external stimuli such as pain to resist the effects of illusions;"

"Three, ask your teammates around you to help."

After hearing this, Naruto immediately looked disappointed. He knew these methods when he read the original book a few years ago, but strictly speaking, they were all just theory. In fact, if he encountered a real master of illusion, these tricks might not be useful.

The two of them walked out of the village and began walking on the muddy path. Naruto turned and said to Jiraiya, "I actually know all of this, but for a true master of illusion, these methods may not be useful, right?"

Jiraiya frowned slightly: "Did you encounter an enemy in this area?"

"To be frank, I want to know how to deal with the Uchiha ninjas." Naruto nodded and spoke bluntly.

"Sasuke Uchiha?"

"No, this enemy is even tougher than him," Naruto shook his head, paused for a moment and then slowly uttered a name: "Uchiha Itachi."

For a moment, the surroundings fell into silence, and Jiraiya's heart suddenly sounded an alarm. He naturally knew this person, and the intelligence he already knew showed that Uchiha Itachi had joined an organization called "Akatsuki" and was targeting Naruto.

Did this guy notice this? If he even knew this information, it would be a bit too weird.

As far as he knew, Naruto hadn't left the village recently and had no chance to learn about the world outside Konoha.

Jiraiya controlled his expression and asked tentatively, "Naruto, who did you hear about this person?"

"Sasuke, of course."

Naruto said nonchalantly, allaying some of Jiraiya's concerns.

"So what did Sasuke tell you?"

Naruto thought for a moment and said, "As a companion, he once mentioned this person and expressed his desire for revenge. I also promised him that I would help him kill this person."

He made his eyes look serious and sincere, which touched Jiraiya and made him think of his past.

Once upon a time, he also wanted to get someone to return to Konoha, and he put a lot of effort into it, even running around to monitor his whereabouts.

It's a pity that it failed.

Now, he saw a similar emotion in Naruto's eyes.

"I understand," Jiraiya nodded, "I can help you with this matter. Your training during this period will be to counter illusions."

"Thank you, Master."

"By the way, if I remember correctly, you haven't signed a contract with the summoning beast yet, right?"

"Yes."

"What do you think of the Gamabunta you met last time?"

Naruto thought about it and expressed his approval of Bunta's fighting ability: "Very strong. I hope to fight alongside such a strong man in the future."

"That's no problem."

The two of them walked and talked, and decided on the content of Naruto's training during this period.

There are three training contents in total: practical version of illusion confrontation, summoning, and Rasengan.

Unlike the original work, based on Naruto's various battle records, Jiraiya has higher expectations for Naruto, so the content he decided is also richer.

He didn't know that Naruto had already learned the Rasengan, but considering that he had a legitimate reason to do so, Naruto accepted the task calmly and planned to divide the time he spent practicing the Rasengan with summoning techniques, and use the remaining time to connect with Bai Yi, Sakura and the others.

time flies.

In the afternoon, under the guidance of Jiraiya, Naruto signed a contract with the toad and made his first attempt.

The situation is similar to the original book.

Naruto is not proficient in summoning magic now, so at the beginning he can only summon toads the size of Gamakichi, but because he has been practicing chakra control in the early days, his foundation is better than the original Naruto.

"From now on we will be friends. Remember to take me to your hometown when you have time."

Naruto greeted Gamakichi with a smile, showing no sadness at the failure of the technique, which made Jiraiya feel a little emotional.

This child's character is completely different from the children he taught before.

"No problem! I remember your name, Uzumaki Naruto!" Gamakichi looked very happy and had a very good impression of the young man.

In order to get in touch with a core figure like Fukasaku Sage as soon as possible, Naruto chose to build a good relationship with the little toad, hoping that Gamakichi would mention him in front of his father or other toads, giving him a chance to make his presence felt.

"But forget about the bugs that the toad eats... I must bring my own dry food when I go there next time..." He thought to himself and continued to practice spiritualism.

After settling down in the town along the way in the afternoon, Jiraiya found an open space, summoned the Toad Force, and began a real combat illusion confrontation.

"Dear little Naruto, please take good care of me~" Before the actual battle, Gamali cast an ambiguous look at Naruto. The latter's mouth twitched. He felt a little uncomfortable with this toad whose appearance was hard to describe, but he still nodded stiffly.

This is the price of becoming stronger. What's that saying? Oh, if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight... Naruto used these words to coax himself, silently enduring the somewhat scorching gaze of the Toad Power...

To be honest, Naruto feels that he has sacrificed too much for Sasuke...

After the first attempt.

Jiraiya gestured for Naruto to adjust his state, not very satisfied with his performance: "Although you have been consciously disrupting the chakra in your body, chakra leakage still occurred, which shows that your basic skills are not good enough."

"Got it, Master. Let's try again."

Jiraiya was stunned for a moment, somewhat surprised by Naruto's calm reaction, but he said nothing more, signaling the shy Toad Power to continue.

This practice lasted for most of the afternoon.

At night, Jiraiya and Naruto checked into an inn. Jiraiya casually said that he wanted to collect information, and let Naruto sit cross-legged and circulate his chakra to recover, and then left in a leisurely manner.

Naruto sat cross-legged like this for an hour. After his condition had basically recovered, he used Flying Thunder God and returned to his home.

Next, it’s time for Team 7 to form a group to clear the dungeon.
