Escape From Konoha

"That is……"

Training ground No. 4 caused such a huge commotion, and Sasuke, who was practicing the Thunder Release Ninjutsu in the nearby site No. 3, would naturally not miss it.

On the contrary, the moment the heavy object hit the ground and caused the ground to shake, his body reacted almost instinctively and looked towards the source of the loud noise.

Because there were layers of giant trees blocking the area, even though he could hear quite a bit of movement, Sasuke didn't know what was going on there.

Sasuke, who was planning to take a break now, was suddenly aroused by this movement.

If he remembers correctly, venue No. 4 is where Naruto is.

Kakashi said that there is a Konoha ninja who is not inferior to him in strength, and is teaching Naruto in secret.

Judging from the movement in front of him, it was probably caused by some kind of terrible ninjutsu.

So, Sasuke jumped to the top of the giant tree in twos and twos, using a very slender branch as a support point. His body was like catkins, and he landed on the top of the tree lightly and steadily, and saw Site No. 4 in a distant place. movement.

The moment Sasuke looked towards the fourth field, his eyes widened in surprise because of the huge creature in the forest.

Because the distance was too far, Sasuke could only see that it was an extremely huge creature, but Sasuke was not sure what it was.

"Psychic art?"

The moment he saw the huge creature, Sasuke knew that the very powerful ninja was teaching Naruto some ninjutsu.

Psychic art!

Indeed, there are only a few days. Generally speaking, no matter how talented a ninja is, it is impossible to reborn in such a short period of time.

Even if he has the Sharingan, he copied many players' taijutsu and ninjutsu in the qualifiers, but it still takes a long time to get used to it, and it is impossible to achieve it immediately.

With a practice cheat like Sharingan, if this is the case, then the rest of the ninjas can be imagined.

But mediumship is different.

This is a summoning ninjutsu.

It is easy to start and has quick results, which can greatly enhance one's own combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

After all, psychic beasts are also part of the ninja's combat power.

Because the stronger the psychic beast, the more chakra it requires. Being able to summon such a powerful psychic beast means that the ninja itself is very powerful. It is a typical tactic of strong alliances.

The only drawback is that it requires a contract.

It is necessary to make a contract with a powerful psychic beast, or a group of psychic beasts.

Sasuke himself signed a psychic contract with the Ninja Cat Clan, but most of the time, he did not summon Ninja Cats to fight. Only when he needed supplies or collected intelligence, he would entrust the Ninja Cat Clan to assist him.

but……

Seeing the huge psychic beast in the distance, it was as big as a small mountain, and its height alone was slightly taller than the giant trees in this forest.

Such a huge creature doesn't need to use any ninjutsu, just a little movement can cause considerable destructive power.

Such help cannot be ignored.

But then came a wave of doubt.

That's the limit of mediumship.

What kind of psychic beast you want to summon depends on the chakra provided by the magician.

Naruto...has such a large amount of chakra?

Even a regular jounin might not be able to afford a psychic beast of that level.

Because summoning it means that the user's chakra has almost bottomed out.

At least Sasuke felt that it was absolutely impossible for him to summon such a powerful psychic beast.

Just when Sasuke felt confused, there was a slight movement next to him, and Kakashi didn't know when he appeared next to him.

"Where's Sakura?"

Sasuke didn't see Sakura.

"She went to buy a lunch box. After all, she needs special training at night. She can't do it without a full stomach."

Kakashi replied.

Sasuke nodded, not feeling any pain at all.

Rather, experiencing the feeling of getting stronger a little bit made him want to stop.

"what is that?"

Sasuke pointed at the huge psychic beast in the distance, and could even hear a vague panicked shout, which was very similar to Naruto's voice.

It was even more certain that this huge psychic beast was summoned by Naruto.

"One of the descendants of the two great immortals of Miaomu Mountain - Gamabunta."

Kakashi introduced the identity of the giant psychic beast.

"Miaomu Mountain?"

Sasuke was no stranger to Mt. Myoboku.

In the Uchiha clan's classics, some information about Mt. Miaomu has also been recorded.

One of the three holy places where you can freely control the magic of immortals.

It is said to be the paradise of toads.

The other two holy places where the immortal arts are passed down are Shigu Forest and Longdi Cave.

They are the worlds of slugs and snakes respectively.

"The person who taught Naruto is the same as Orochimaru who planted the curse seal on you. He is a Konoha ninja who is one of the three ninjas - Jiraiya. He is also the three disciples of the Third Hokage."

Kakashi glanced at Sasuke.

"Orochimaru……"

A cold look flashed in Sasuke's eyes, and he touched the curse mark on the back of his neck.

Although this power did help him a lot, the will imposed on him and the intention to use him to achieve some unknown things reminded him of the man he hated so much - Yu Zhi Wave weasel.

"Sannin was once the hero of Konoha's expansion of the territory, but because of some things, Orochimaru betrayed Konoha, and the other two also temporarily stayed away from the political center of the village. And the three of them are the inheritance of the three holy places Those who can channel the psychic beasts in their respective holy places and fight for them.”

"Is this so? The three ninjas...the three holy places..."

Thinking of Orochimaru's ability to summon giant snakes at will, those snakes might be the psychic beasts of Ryūchi Cave.

But compared to the huge psychic beast in Mt. Myoboku at this moment, Sasuke knew that the snake summoned by Orochimaru that day was probably just a miscellaneous soldier from Ryūchi Cave.

And even such low-level soldiers caused the three of them to suffer a lot.

There are probably a lot of miscellaneous soldiers like this in the Holy Land.

"But I didn't expect that such a ninja would hand over such an important contract to Naruto for use..."

Sasuke frowned.

Speaking of jealousy... there is definitely some.

Even he would be tempted by the three holy places.

If he could get the support of one of the holy places, he would be more confident about killing Itachi in the future.

Because people in the Holy Land can use the magic of the immortal clan, which is also the magic of immortality.

It is said that it is a powerful technique that goes beyond ordinary ninjutsu and was invincible in ancient times.

Thinking of this, Sasuke couldn't help but look at Kakashi, the meaning was self-evident.

Kakashi rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "Don't look at me, I don't know how to sign a contract with the Three Holy Lands. Besides the Sannin, there is only one person in this ninja world who has successfully signed a contract with the Three Holy Lands." It’s just a contract signed.”

Although the Three Great Sacred Lands did not stipulate the entry level for signing contracts with them, everyone knew that such a powerful Holy Land would definitely only recognize ninjas with the same strength, or those with relatively great potential.

But even so, not every powerful ninja can sign a contract with the three holy places.

While achieving strength and potential, you also need to look at fate.

And something like fate is the most unreliable thing.

"who is it?"

"You've seen that person before, Chiba Shiraishi, the Minister of Military Affairs of the Demon Kingdom, he is the only ninja other than Sannin who has signed a contract with the slug fairy in the wet bone forest."

Kakashi said.

Sasuke was slightly disappointed, so to speak, it was probably impossible to find a way in this area.

Orochimaru is a rebellious ninja, and after Orochimaru attacked him last time, he is now a little disgusted with snakes.

Jiraiya also seems to value Naruto's potential more than him.

The last of the Sannin is a medical ninja, and he... doesn't have any medical ninja talent.

As for Qianye Shiraishi, who is also a medical ninja and a member of the Ghost Kingdom, it is even more impossible to recommend him to people from the Three Holy Lands.

"Although it's inaccurate news, according to gossip, among the ninja cats you contracted with, there seems to be ninja cats who can use fairy arts."

Kakashi threw a bombshell, causing Sasuke's eyes to widen in disbelief.

Among the ninja cats...is there any ninja who can use fairy arts?

He had never heard of such a thing.

"Don't look at me like that. Even if the news is true, with your current Chakra, you can't channel the other party out."

Each of the psychic beasts who can use fairy arts is terrifying.

Even if it is not the strongest in the ninja world, it is still a powerful existence that can be ranked in the ninja world.

If you want to summon a psychic beast of this level, even if the chakra of your body is drained by a general jonin, it is estimated that you can only summon a cloud of air. Maybe summoning a psychic beast that knows celestial arts requires a medium of the same quality—the celestial chakra.

The stronger the technique, the greater the restriction. This principle applies even to spiritism.

"Is that so?"

Sasuke's eyes flickered.

Seeing the huge movement coming from a distance, Sasuke knew that it was the psychic beast that Naruto was taming under him.

And once approved by a psychic beast of that level, Sasuke knew that Naruto's strength would be so strong that even he couldn't ignore it, and might even...surpass him!

Not possible, but certain!

Assuming to fight such a huge psychic beast, Sasuke was also a little nervous, and his confidence was not great.

This is not at the same level of combat power as the giant snake that was psychically produced by Orochimaru.

So, do you hope that it can only be placed in the ninja cat clan's psychic beast that can use magic?

However, if this is the case, why is there no record in the family?

How did Kakashi know? What role did he play in it?

Although Sasuke did not look down on the ninja cat clan, but in the Konoha Uchiha clan's classics, it has never been recorded that the Ninja cat clan who has been allied with the Uchiha clan for generations has the ability to inherit fairy arts.

Thinking this way, Sasuke felt a little more at ease.

For the rest, you need to ask the Ninja Cats of the Ninja Cat Clan later.

I thought it was just a ninja cat clan who were good at inquiring about news and businessmen, but suddenly they had the inheritance of celestial arts, which made Sasuke feel annoyed that he was sitting on a treasure mountain without knowing it.

◎

I don’t know how much time passed, but the sun sank from the sky and it became dark.

In the forest of giant trees, there was only a huge shadow sitting there.

Even the gesture of doing it is extremely conspicuous in the dark night.

In front of the huge shadow, a young man with yellow hair lay sleeping quietly. From the sound of his breathing, it could be seen that he was sleeping deeply, and it was Naruto.

With steady steps, Jiraiya walked through the cracked earth. The surrounding trees were cleared away and turned into a wasteland. When he came to see the huge shadow, he smiled and said hello: "Hey, it's been a long time." It's gone, Mrs. Wen."

He called out the name of the giant toad in front of him.

Giant Toad - Bunta took out the pipe from his mouth, exhaled a puff of smoke, lowered his eyes slightly, and locked on Jiraiya's body.

"Jiraiya, you bastard, you will try your best to find trouble for me. Moreover, the one who summoned me will be a kid... It must be a good thing for you."

"Haha, don't say that. Don't you admit Naruto's ability? This boy's perseverance is pretty good, right?"

Jiraiya smiled.

"Hmph, although I admit this kid's ability, you should know that letting a kid summon me may lead to death. Do you want to harm him?"

Wen Tai said dissatisfied.

Although psychic art is not a forbidden art, there is still a huge risk if the practitioner summons a psychic beast that exceeds the limits of his own chakra.

And Naruto is only twelve or thirteen years old at best. No matter how talented he is, his physical limitations are there.

Summoning a psychic beast of his level required taking huge risks.

Therefore, in Wentai's view, Jiraiya's approach was too reckless.

It is Jiraiya's judgment to hand over Mt. Miaomu's contract scroll to others, and Bunta has no right to interfere.

However, in the art of psychic psychics, it is also necessary to pay attention to the easy ones and then the difficult ones, starting from controlling the lowest-level toad, instead of using him as a high-level Miaomu mountain at the beginning.

"That child is not an ordinary guy, and do you think that an ordinary child can really summon you, Bunta? The power contained in his body even surpasses you and me."

"What?"

Mrs. Wen opened her mouth and didn't close it for a long time.

It knows that Jiraiya is out of tune, but he will never joke with him about this kind of thing.

However, how could a child...

Thinking of something, Wen Tai's eyes became even more shocked.

"Could it be that this child is..."

Jiraiya nodded, closed his eyes, then slowly opened his eyes, flashed a look of determination, and said to Bunta: "As you think, this child may become the key to changing the ninja world in the future. "

"..."

Because the matter was too shocking, Wen Tai was speechless for a while.

The Son of Prophecy is not too secretive news in Mount Miaomu.

In addition to the two immortals, Wen Tai, who is a high-ranking senior, naturally knows some secrets.

Although he is also skeptical about the so-called Son of Prophecy. Moreover, if he had to say it, if there really was a child of prophecy, he felt that the ninja who still had the same hair color but had already become a legend was more qualified to be the child of prophecy than this young boy who was still young now.

——The Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato.

Unfortunately, the other party is already dead.

Seeing Jiraiya's deceptive appearance, Wen Tai was silent for a long time, and did not speak again.

"Is this so? Although I don't know whether your judgment is correct, I will try my best to help him in the future. That's it for today. My parents are still waiting for me to go back for dinner..."

Wen Tai took a puff of cigarette, and then disappeared without a trace in the spreading white smoke.

Seeing Wen Tai disappear, Ji Lai also breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, the son of prophecy has a lot to do with it. Even Mrs. Wen would not dare to draw conclusions at will, which he had already expected.

However, as long as Wen Tai can relax a little, the next thing will be much easier.

Controlling the Nine-Tails Chakra has taken the first step.

Next, Naruto needs to become stronger.

"Immortal magic... it's not the time yet..."

Zilai also sighed.

It would be best if Naruto could master Senjutsu as soon as possible. Only in this way can he truly protect himself, the Nine-Tails in his body, and even Konoha.

However, learning magic requires a huge amount of chakra as a prerequisite.

Only then can you communicate with natural energy, and your chances of success will be greater.

With Naruto's current amount of chakra, although it is much stronger than his peers, it is still not at the threshold of learning senjutsu.

Although the magic of the three holy places is powerful, the threshold for learning is also very high.

Therefore, this plan cannot be implemented for the time being.

Picking up Naruto who had fallen asleep, Jiraiya looked at the messy scene around him and showed a troubled expression:

"Really, even though it's free to use, it's so damaged..."

Some compensation will probably be necessary later.

After all, the training area of ​​the No. 4 training site was basically scrapped. It was damaged to such an extent that it was beyond the scope of 'free' use.

Jiraiya shook his head, hugged Naruto and disappeared instantly.

◎

open one's eyes.

Naruto blinked hard, realizing that it was already daylight.

"This is……"

"Are you awake?"

The voice came from the side, and Jiraiya was crossing his arms, leaning against a tree, turning his head to look at Naruto with a smile.

"A lecherous fairy?"

In a daze, Naruto seemed to recall what happened at dusk yesterday.

"Ahhhhhhhhh! I remembered!"

Naruto suddenly pointed at Jiraiya, showing an angry expression, and asked:

"Did you push me off the cliff yesterday?"

Seeing that Naruto seemed to still remember this, it was no wonder. After all, he was facing the threat of death, so he was naturally impressed.

Jiraiya smiled and said: "Oh, don't say that, I did this to stimulate your potential. With my 'help', didn't you also successfully summon the giant toad? In the end, you also got the opponent approval."

"That's true, but what if I didn't summon it at that time?"

"There is no such 'what if', Naruto. The guy inside you doesn't want to die even more than you."

As long as Kyuubi is unwilling to die, no matter what happens to Naruto, Kyuubi will take action in the end.

This is the symbiotic relationship between the jinchūriki and the tailed beasts.

When the jinchuriki is in danger, the jinchuriki and the tailed beasts will temporarily give up their prejudices and join forces to fight. This is something Jiraiya has long expected.

And even if Kyuubi didn't help at that time, Jiraiya had already made proper arrangements, and it was impossible to push Naruto down without taking any defensive measures.

Naruto was speechless.

"Well, although you have gone through a lot of twists and turns, your ability to summon that guy Wentai in one day is still beyond my imagination. Originally, I planned to teach you only this psychic before the finals. The art. But now..."

"What? Will you teach me new techniques?"

Naruto immediately forgot about the excessive things Jiraiya did to him yesterday, and focused all his attention on the new technique Jiraiya was going to teach him.

"Don't worry, it's already the second day. You didn't eat last night or in the morning. Let's talk about the new technique after breakfast."

After Jiraiya reminded him, Naruto noticed that it was already the next morning.

My stomach was empty and I was very hungry.

Jiraiya picked up the paper bag next to him and threw it to Naruto.

Naruto took it successfully and opened it. Inside was hot hamburger meat, milk and other instant foods.

"I'm gonna start now!"

Without being polite, Naruto directly opened the wrapping paper, bit into the hamburger meat, and showed a look of enjoyment.

It took about ten minutes. Naruto quickly destroyed the food, then wiped the milk stains at the corners of his mouth with a tissue, and said: "Okay, lustful immortal, tell me quickly, what is the next technique to learn? I can’t wait to get up!”

"You are really impatient. Forget it, since you asked so, then I will teach you the second technique directly. The premise is that the difficulty of practicing this new technique is to reach the 'A' level. It is the same as the psychic technique. The difficulty of practicing the technique is completely different."

As long as a psychic contract is signed, the difficulty of performing psychic techniques is just a little higher than that of ordinary avatar techniques. Although it is more difficult than basic ninjutsu training, it is also extremely limited and belongs to the category of C-level ninjutsu.

And the higher-level B-level ninjutsu is a ninjutsu of a difficult nature.

It is a technique that can only be learned by chunin and jounin.

The more advanced A-level ninjutsu is a high-difficulty ninjutsu that is standard for Jōnin. It is also very difficult for ordinary Chunin to learn this level of ninjutsu.

"A-A-level ninjutsu!?"

Naruto's eyes showed excitement.

He didn't expect that Zirai would be so enthusiastic, and he would directly teach him the super difficult ninjutsu of A-level.

In addition to mysteries, A-level ninjutsu is the highest configuration of ninjutsu for ninjas.

The Thunder Release Chidori that Sasuke used, which he envied very much, was an A-level Thunder Release Ninjutsu.

It's a pity that he didn't develop the thunder attribute chakra and couldn't practice the Thunder Release Chidori.

Otherwise, it will definitely become the only focus of the game.

"Don't be too happy, this A-level ninjutsu is very focused on the operator's control of Chakra, and it is completely different from the multiple shadow clone technique you learned from the seal scroll in the past."

Although the multiple shadow clone jutsu is difficult to learn, in the final analysis it is an evolution of the B-level ninjutsu shadow clone jutsu.

The reason why it is a higher level is because the required chakra has increased a lot, and this technique is overused, which will endanger the life of the performer, so it is listed as a forbidden technique.

But it doesn't mean that practicing this forbidden technique is difficult.

The so-called forbidden technique only depends on the level of harm to the user, not the difficulty of practice.

and mystical types of techniques also exist in different categories.

"What kind of technique is that?"

Naruto asked expectantly, his enthusiasm undiminished.

"This is it."

Jiraiya opened his right hand, and a blue chakra ball instantly condensed in his palm.

"Uh...it doesn't look like much..."

Naruto looked at the plain blue chakra ball in Jiraiya's hand, but it was just compressed chakra into a ball. Its appearance was far from Chidori's, and it didn't have the shocking effect of sound.

Jiraiya looked at Naruto speechlessly. It was indeed very difficult to teach a guy with such a poor foundation.

It is not an easy task to compress chakra like this.

In particular, it is even more difficult to make the chakra inside rotate at high speed all the time.

"This technique is called the Rasengan. It is an A-level ninjutsu developed by the Fourth Hokage. It is said that there are derivative techniques later. However, due to the premature death of the Fourth Generation, the subsequent derivative techniques have not been fully developed. However, even the original The destructive power of the Rasengan cannot be underestimated, let you see it."

With that said, Jiraiya bent down without ceremony and pressed the Rasengan towards the ground.

boom!

The moment the chakra ball came into contact with the ground, it exploded.

A spiral hurricane was generated, and a large amount of sand flew and spread.

In just an instant, a huge hemispherical pit was born under the attack of the chakra ball.

"Okay, so awesome!"

I thought it was just an ordinary ninjutsu, but I didn't expect that a small chakra ball could have such powerful destructive power.

He could see that the destructive power of the chakra ball, like the Chidori, was a concentrated attack type and would not spread its own power.

It can be seen from the extremely smooth surface of the hemispherical pit that it is very regular and complete.

If it hits the human body, the destructive power caused is more intuitive and effective than a large-scale ninjutsu.

Next, Jiraiya told Naruto the secret to practicing Rasengan, and let Naruto practice it alone.

Naruto directly used the shadow clone technique and split out ten shadow clones.

"Then, let's do our best together."

"oh!"

Seeing so many Narutos exploring and practicing the essence of the Rasengan together, Jiraiya couldn't help but be surprised even though he had already heard about it from Kakashi.

This is indeed a very suitable way of cultivation for Naruto.

Moreover, only Naruto who owns Nine Tails can use it.

Although the foundation is poor, after using this method, no matter how poor the foundation is, it can grow rapidly.

"I didn't expect you to teach him this kind of ninjutsu so quickly."

While enjoying the coolness under the shade of a tree, Kakashi walked over from the other side and saw Naruto, who was concentrating on practicing new ninjutsu under the sun, without noticing his arrival at all.

"The matter of that organization has not yet been figured out. It is necessary to let Naruto grow up as soon as possible."

Even as a Sannin, he felt unprecedented pressure on the organization that targeted tailed beasts.

What's more, the attitude of Ghost Kingdom is also very ambiguous.

Although he took the time to secretly disclose some information to the high-level military of the ghost country, but the other party seemed not interested in this organization that caught tailed beasts, and directly stated that he would not cooperate with Konoha in this regard.

Jilai also felt that the military of the Ghost Country must know something about this mysterious organization. After all, with such a huge intelligence agency, it is impossible to know nothing about such an organization.

It's just that the other party's attitude was so determined, which Jiraiya didn't expect.

Not only the Kingdom of Oni, except for Sunagakure, Iwagakure and Kirigakure also have very ambiguous attitudes. They don't want to work with Konoha and have some grudges about tailed beasts.

Kumogakure, who had his second tail taken away, also firmly stated that the affairs of his village would be handled by his own people and there was no need to form an alliance with Konoha.

Ninja villages in big countries have extremely low trust in each other, and they basically fight on their own.

"But there are only less than four days left before the finals. Can we make it in time?"

Kakashi asked.

He was no stranger to the ninjutsu Rasengan.

Although it is a technique that has not yet been fully developed, its training difficulty has reached A level.

If changes in nature are injected into it, it is likely that the same secret level ninjutsu as Raikiri will be derived.

Such a difficult ninjutsu cannot be compared to psychic techniques.

"Who knows, I have never seen a guy who summoned Wen Tai on the first day of learning psychic arts. Even in the beginning of Minato, he was not so powerful. Anyway, this guy's potential is great. It’s unknown. Not just me, the third generation is also optimistic about his future. He might become a hero like Minato in the future.”

Jiraiya said with a smile.

It could be seen that he seemed to have full confidence in Naruto.

Although this was his first formal contact, he had already done all aspects of intelligence work before this, so it could be said that he knew Naruto well.

Kakashi looked at Naruto, who was sweating there and practicing ninjutsu seriously, and didn't know what he thought of.

Is it a hero...

Most ninjas of this type end in tragedy.

Be it his father or the fourth generation.

Regardless of Orochimaru, the other Sannin are also well-known heroes in Konoha, but when Konoha needs them most, they choose to avoid Konoha's political center...

Things that you cannot accomplish yourself have to be forced on others.

Therefore, in Kakashi's view, such words are just an act of escaping by placing hope on others.

Kakashi knows that even a hero is not omnipotent. Heroes sometimes have to compromise.
