Konoha: Otsutsuki from the Earth

After returning to the village, Jiraiya and Qi Fei immediately went to the Hokage's office to report the situation to Tsunade.

After listening to Jiraiya's report, Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's great that you can come back safely. I didn't expect the other party's ability to be so weird."

"But we infer that Pain will make a comeback soon." Jiraiya briefly described to Tsunade his analysis with Qi Fei on the road.

After listening carefully to Jiraiya's brief description, Tsunade leaned on the table, frowning and saying nothing.

Jiraiya didn't speak to urge him, but stood silently by the large window behind Tsunade, silently looking at the peaceful and peaceful scene in Konoha.

Qi Fei on the side couldn't stand this boring atmosphere, so he said: "Master, I've finished my report here, can you go back and rest first?"

"...Ah, thanks to you this time, you should have a good rest first. I will let you know if there are any new arrangements."

Watching Qi Fei close the office door, Tsunade leaned lazily on the chair and complained: "The people in the Akatsuki organization are really a bunch of difficult guys."

"According to Qi Fei's speculation, the opponent should have a master who can use time and space ninjutsu. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the opponent to sneak Nagato away without leaving the room," Jiraiya said.

"Time and Space Ninjutsu? It can take people away quietly... Could it be a Ninjutsu similar to Flying Thunder God?" Tsunade pinched her chin and analyzed.

Jiraiya shook his head and said, "Probably not. Qi Fei checked the area around the tower and found no suspicious flying thunder techniques."

"Could it be the art of reverse channeling?" Tsunade said with a look of displeasure, "I finally found the other party's lair, but I didn't expect them to slip away again."

This time the Akatsuki organization once again lurked in the darkness, causing Konoha, which had just grasped the movements of the Akatsuki organization, to once again lose control of the Akatsuki organization. Coupled with the fact that the opponent has unknown time and space ninjutsu, it is possible for the Akatsuki organization to steal from any one

Location direction to attack Konoha.

Faced with the possible retaliation from the Akatsuki organization at any time, Konoha cannot always be on alert. This is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also a kind of torture for everyone's hearts. Over time, our own hearts may collapse first.

Thinking of this, Tsunade also said happily: "Looking at it this way, it is a safe way for you to bring Naruto to Mt. Miaomu."

At least this can guarantee that no matter what Akatsuki does then, Naruto as a Jinchuuriki will definitely be safe, and Akatsuki's plan is doomed to fail.

"It's a pity that this may bring considerable losses to the village." Jiraiya turned to Tsunade and asked, "By the way, where is Naruto? Is he in the village?"

"He went on a mission with Kakashi and the others to protect Sasuke's safety and monitor the previous battle between Sasuke and Itachi." Tsunade bit her nails and replied, "It seems that we must call Naruto back first.

It's too dangerous to leave him out now."

Although the actions of Jiraiya and Qi Fei severely injured Pain, they also alerted the enemy. After the other party found that Konoha Village was not easy to deal with, Pain was likely to seize the time when Naruto left the village to act.

After all, when Jiraiya and Qi Fei return to the village, Konoha will definitely make a wave of preventive arrangements against them. At this time, if Pain wants to catch Naruto in Konoha, the difficulty will increase exponentially.

"Shizune!" Tsunade figured it out and immediately said to the door, "Immediately ask the communications team to send a message to Kakashi and the others, asking them to take Naruto back to the village immediately, and must protect Naruto's safety."

"Tsuna...ah? Yes!"

Shizune immediately received Tsunade's order as soon as she opened the door, and then ran out in a hurry.

"I hope it's in time..." Looking at the door closing again, Tsunade sighed and said, "And do you think Naruto can learn the sage mode? That can't be learned with perseverance."

"Believe in Naruto! I believe he must be a more suitable person to learn the Sage Mode than me." Jiraiya replied while looking at the streets of the village with a smile.

"Would you like to go have a drink together tonight? To celebrate your safe return." Tsunade turned to Jiraiya behind her and asked, "Where do you want to go?"

"Really? That's great!" Jiraiya suddenly said with a smile, "I suggest going to a hot spring hotel. That's the best place for me to relax..."

Bang! Before Jiraiya could finish, he smashed the window and flew out of the Hokage's office.

"You don't have to go if you don't want to go!" Tsunade shouted angrily, holding her fists with bulging veins.

Downstairs from the Hokage, Jiraiya fell upside down on the ground, covering his red cheeks and complaining: "Really, didn't you agree to let me choose..."

However, after Tsunade sent the message, Naruto, who was supposed to return to the village within a few days, did not return to the village until two weeks later.

On the day Naruto returned to the village, Qi Fei was also notified by the ANBU to go to the Hokage's office.

As soon as he entered the office, Qi Fei saw everyone in the room looking at the lost Naruto with worried faces.

Qi Fei scanned the area carefully and found no sign of Sasuke.

Just when he was wondering where Sasuke was, Tsunade said: "Qi Fei, you came just in time.

"When Jiraiya and Naruto go to Mount Myoboku to practice, I need you and Kakashi to cooperate in practicing the tactical arrangements against Pain, and study together how to deal with Pain's attack."

Before Qi Fei could answer, Naruto retorted emotionally: "Grandma Tsunade! I'm not going to Miaomu Mountain. The most important thing now is to find Sasuke! Sasuke finally managed to return to the village...

"

"Naruto, don't be willful. Now you can't protect yourself. How can you bring Sasuke back to the village?"

"Damn it..." Naruto clenched his fists anxiously and stood there gritting his teeth.

Jiraiya and Kakashi looked at him worriedly.

"Naruto, if you want to bring Sasuke back, your current strength is not enough." Jiraiya walked up to Naruto, touched Naruto's hair with his hand, and said kindly, "So I plan to leave it to you.

New ninjutsu."

"Really? The lustful immortal!" Upon hearing Jiraiya's words, Naruto's eyes lit up, but then dimmed again, "But..."

The last time Jiraiya took him to practice, he had practiced for two years, but now he couldn't wait two years anymore.

Seemingly seeing Naruto's confusion, Jiraiya smiled and said: "What are you thinking about? Remember your unwillingness and persistence now. This training cannot be completed by time, but by your faith.

and perseverance.”

"Really!" Naruto's eyes lit up instantly, "That means it's the same as the Rasengan..."

"Yes, as long as you have unwavering faith and perseverance, you may be able to learn it in just a month or two."

"Then let's set off! Lustful Sage!" Naruto said firmly, "I must complete this practice, and I must personally bring Sasuke back this time!"

Seeing that Naruto was no longer depressed, Kakashi said helplessly: "Sure enough, it takes Jiraiya-sama to persuade Naruto..."

At this time, Qi Fei, who had been confused since just now, quietly approached Kakashi and asked: "Kakashi-sensei, what's wrong with Sasuke? Did you encounter something?"
