Chapter 515
A day later, the combatants who ambushed the Akatsuki organization returned to Konoha. After Kakashi finished reporting the details of the mission, he was immediately taken to the hospital by Tsunade for a detailed physical examination. The final conclusion was that there was no curse seal or technique in Kakashi's body, which also proved that Kakashi did not have a friend named Beiruhu.
Based on this, Tsunade set up two research groups based on the associations she had when watching the movie to study the two conjectures of "the content of the sky curtain is fabricated" and "parallel world". However, it can be expected that the research in these two aspects will not make much progress, especially when Konoha already has several research projects on hand.
Jiraiya returned to Konoha three days later.
After exchanging information with Tsunade, Jiraiya did not rest and directly took Naruto and Sasuke away from Konoha to continue the training journey that was interrupted before.
"This time, I shouldn't be walking and suddenly called back again, lecherous immortal!" Naruto held the back of his head with both hands and asked Jiraiya beside him.
"If nothing unexpected happens, we won't be back to Konoha for a long time."
Jiraiya took a notebook and wrote and drew, then put it back into his backpack after a while, and then said: "In the next journey, I will arrange a lot of actual combat for you. You have to learn the Big Ball Rasengan and Rasenshuriken in the process, and you have to try the Sage Mode. As for the Nine-Tails Mode... How is your communication with the Nine-Tails going recently?"
"Still the same." Naruto shrugged helplessly: "Kuroma's chakra has been blocking me from entering the sealed space, and I have no chance to interact with it face to face. Flow."
Jiraiya: "Is that so? It seems that the situation is not bad."
"How can you tell that the situation is good? If it keeps on like this, when can I show my sincerity to the tailed beasts? How can I realize the Fourth Hokage's expectation of me and the dream of the lustful sage!"
"You are still too young." Jiraiya looked at Naruto with an expression that you don't understand: "The Nine-Tailed Fox is like a girl who is upset now. The more it is like this, the more it shows that it cares about you. Maybe before you learn the Sage Mode, you have already completed the Nine-Tailed Fox Mode. Maybe."
Boom!
Without any warning, a muffled sound rang heavily in Naruto's heart. Naruto was stunned at first, and then looked at Jiraiya with a strange expression: "That...Kurouma sent me a message, saying that I can go to the sealed space to communicate with it face to face, but it has a condition in exchange..."
"What condition?" Jiraiya suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Well, that's right... I'll give you a good beating when I get a chance, and make you clean your neck and wait..."
"You're so petty, just like a girl..." Jiraiya muttered softly, but he didn't take the threat of the Nine-Tails too seriously. Anyway, at most he would just get beaten up, which was not worth mentioning.
After talking about the arrangement for Naruto, Jiraiya looked at Sasuke, who was walking side by side with Naruto on his right, and Itachi, who was a little behind Sasuke, wearing an Anbu outfit and an animal mask on his face.
"As for Uchiha's kid, you have to open the Mangekyō Sharingan during the next journey. If conditions permit, you may be able to upgrade it to the Eternal Mangekyō."
"Mangekyō?"
Sasuke frowned. He was originally wondering why Naruto and his apprentice had to include their two brothers in their training journey. He didn't expect Jiraiya to have such an arrangement for him.
If it was Sasuke before he knew the truth about Uchiha, he would naturally have no objection to this arrangement, but how could he accept it now?
After all, the conditions for opening the Mangekyō and Eternal Mangekyō are well known to everyone. What on earth was Jiraiya thinking to make such an arrangement?
Unable to figure it out, Sasuke did not hide his thoughts and asked directly: "Why is it the Mangekyō? Are you going to let me kill the last one next to me?"
Not mentioning Naruto who was about to quarrel, Jiraiya glanced at Itachi and replied: "Don't think about killing anyone all the time. Regarding the Mangekyō Sharingan, I asked your brother to investigate it before, and I also found relevant records in the research materials of the second generation Hokage.
For the condition of "killing your closest friend", the most important thing is the process of getting and then losing. The condition required for the real opening of the eyes is the Yin-tun Chakra stimulated by this process. In this case, it is very simple to find a substitute. "
"What about the Eternal Mangekyō? This needs to be replaced with the eyes of a brother..." Sasuke turned his head to look at Itachi and said firmly"If this method is adopted, I will never agree!"
'Even if you agree, I will not agree. Before leaving, Tsunade told me to find a way to change Itachi's world-weary thoughts. ' Jiraiya muttered to himself.
After all, the current ninja world seems calm, but because the sky curtain has been revealing all kinds of unknown contents, the secret struggle has never weakened.
In this case, Itachi, a strong man with both brains and strength, and a man who is loyal to Konoha, how could Tsunade let him sacrifice for his brother in vain because of guilt and remorse.
Even if Konoha is sorry for Itachi, Tsunade must tie him firmly to the chariot of Konoha.
Without thinking too much, Jiraiya turned his head and looked forward: "Although I can't be 100% sure that you can get the Eternal Mangekyō, I can guarantee that your brother doesn't need to sacrifice, provided that we find that person first."
"Who?" Naruto asked curiously.
"You will know when the time comes... Now, our first stop is in the Land of the River. Be prepared. We may have to visit every corner of the Ninja World next."
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Time passed quickly, and four months passed.
During this period, Naruto successfully completed the training of the Big Ball Rasengan, and Sasuke successfully developed the Chidori Sharp Spear and Chidori Blade in actual combat, and the strength of the two entered a new stage.
During these four months, the sky screen was also screened once.
However, since the content was just a guard mission of the young Naruto on the Crescent Moon Island, and the enemies encountered were also common, the discussion in the Ninja World was not very high.
After all, everyone is now raised to a higher level by various powerful enemies that emerge in an endless stream, and ordinary battles are already difficult to catch the eyes of everyone, even if one of the fighting parties is Naruto.
