Naruto: Inheriting the Legacy of a Person Who Traveled Through Time

Having found nothing, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Jiraiya returned to the Hokage's office and remained silent for a moment.

Both Hiruzen Sarutobi and Jiraiya were aware of the existence of the Akatsuki organization. After all, Itachi Uchiha, the dutiful son, infiltrated the Akatsuki as an undercover agent in exchange for protecting Sasuke's safety; and Jiraiya, who had been pursuing Orochimaru, had also noticed the existence of the Akatsuki long ago.

However, it's not necessarily true that the two of them or even Konoha took the Akatsuki organization very seriously. After all, there are many large and small ninja organizations in the entire ninja world, and which one can threaten the existence of the Five Great Ninja Villages?

From beginning to end, Konoha knew nothing about Akatsuki except that it was a mysterious organization composed of several S-rank rogue ninja. They had no idea who its leader was, what the organization's purpose was, or where its headquarters were located. They had no idea that Akatsuki had developed into a terrifying organization capable of destroying the five great ninja villages.

Pain destroyed the entire Hidden Leaf Village in a single attack; this power is far more terrifying than that of the Tailed Beasts. Next, the Hidden Leaf Village must raise the threat level of the Akatsuki organization to the highest level and gather all intelligence related to Akatsuki with all its might.

"Jiraiya, what's your opinion on Pain?"

After lighting his pipe and puffing away for a while, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly spoke.

"I do have some guesses about Pain. I wonder if you remember, old man, after the three of us fought a great battle with Hanzo in the Land of Rain, I met some children and lived with them for a while..."

Although Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan held a certain place in Jiraiya's heart, it was mainly because Jiraiya saw that Nagato possessed the Rinnegan that he connected the Child of Prophecy with Nagato. This led him to disobey orders and stay in the Land of Rain during the critical moment of the Fourth Shinobi World War to teach them how to train and live.

Little did anyone expect that a moment of kindness would become the cause of his own death.

However, even at this moment, Jiraiya did not regret everything he had done. Even if he had to choose again, Jiraiya would still refuse Orochimaru's suggestion to kill them and choose to stay in the Land of Rain to take care of the three war orphans.

No wonder he said last time that assassination was a tradition of Konoha; it's quite ironic. Fate always seems to enjoy playing these kinds of jokes on us…

Hiruzen Sarutobi listened quietly to Jiraiya's story, but he was puffing on his pipe much faster than usual.

"Old man, I plan to go to the Land of Rain right now."

After recounting his past experiences in detail, Jiraiya stood up and looked out the window.

This is not a request, but a decision.

"Are you going to your death?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi glared angrily, slamming his hand heavily on the table, causing the mountain of documents to tumble to the floor.

"Jiraiya, wake up! This isn't the time to act rashly! After more than a decade apart, nobody knows what happened to them. Pain's constant talk of pain shows they've long considered Konoha their enemy! If you still want to go and die, do you really want all those things that haven't even happened yet to repeat themselves?"

Although Jiraiya tried his best to hide it, Hiruzen Sarutobi knew at a glance that Jiraiya was unwilling to give up his previous idea, and couldn't help but walk up to Jiraiya and grab his beloved student's collar.

"Are you saying you'd rather I continue to die at Orochimaru's hands, leaving Tsunade to face Pain alone?"

boom!

Just as the two were about to start a heated argument, a loud crash was heard, and the door to the Hokage's office was inexplicably covered in cracks and then shattered.

"I think I just heard someone saying bad things about me!"

With long golden hair, wearing a green robe, and with a face like that of a twenty-year-old girl, Tsunade stepped through the broken door into the office, glaring at Hiruzen Sarutobi and Jiraiya.

-----------------

In the room on the second floor, when Tetsuya opened his eyes, he saw the familiar giant turntable again.

[Historical projection target confirmed as: Naruto Uzumaki]

[Extracting abilities from the target...]

Compared to Hiruzen Sarutobi's dazzling array of abilities, Naruto Uzumaki has very few options. Apart from the Uzumaki clan bloodline that Tetsuya desires most, he only has the Three Body Technique, Sexy Technique, and Harem Technique, which are ninjutsu that Tetsuya finds both laughable and frustrating.

You might say that Naruto's Sexy Jutsu series is powerful, and it is indeed powerful. Whether it's the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi or Kaguya Otsutsuki, the final boss of Shippuden, they were all affected without exception, no less than being hit by a genjutsu. But all of this is based on the premise that Naruto has the protagonist's halo.

Let's hope Murphy's Law doesn't happen...

Soon, the pointer gradually slowed down and eventually stopped at one of the options on the dial.

Good news, I didn't get the Harem Technique!

Bad news: I didn't get the Uzumaki bloodline that Tetsuya had been longing for.

Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.

As the lit option transformed into a stream of light and flew into Tetsuya's body, in just one breath, Tetsuya had already mastered all the contents related to this A-rank forbidden technique, as well as the experience that Naruto Uzumaki had gained from using ninjutsu many times.

Hmm, ever since I obtained the Miracle Master's sealed artifact, I seem to have become a bit greedy, even though it's been less than a month since I escaped my cannon fodder ninja status.

After revealing a self-deprecating smile, Tetsuya formed a hand seal in front of his chest, and white mist rose from both sides, with two shadow clones standing on the left and right, looking at each other with their heads tilted to the side.

Developed by the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique is actually an enhanced version of the Shadow Clone Technique. Its essence is to create physical clones by consuming a large amount of chakra within the body. After normal dissolution, the clones' memories and experiences will return to the original body. It is definitely a cheat method to quickly improve proficiency when training ninjutsu.

The reason it is listed as a forbidden technique is that ordinary ninjas simply cannot withstand the excessive chakra consumption when using the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique. If they are not careful when using this technique, they will be injured or even endanger their lives. Although Tetsuya's chakra has already exceeded that of an ordinary Chunin after he awakened his Sharingan, he can only create five shadow clones at most before reaching his limit.

At least it can be used as a regular shadow clone, so it's not a complete loss!

Until he could extract the Uzumaki bloodline and obtain more than ten chakra, Tetsuya had no choice but to temporarily shelve the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.

-----------------

The next day, under the bright sun, Tetsuya, Naruto Uzumaki, and Sasuke Uchiha stood outside the Hokage Building, waiting for the ever-late Kakashi to appear.

"Sorry, sorry... I saw an old lady crossing the street when I went out just now..."

As always, it was an insincere excuse that led Naruto and Sasuke to a rare agreement, and they turned and walked into the Hokage Building before Kakashi could finish speaking.

"Kids these days are getting less and less lovable..."

Kakashi sighed, greeted Tetsuya, and then slowly started walking.

In the hall where ninja missions were accepted, Hiruzen Sarutobi was unusually present in the main seat. Beside him stood a dark-skinned, thin, and gray-haired old man reeking of alcohol and wearing a pair of worn-out glasses. He was standing in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi, grumbling incessantly about how Konoha did not take his mission seriously enough.

It was him, bridge-building expert Dazner?

Could it be such a coincidence that the first mission for Team 7 is to unlock the Land of Waves instance?
