Under the Bamboo Forest of Naruto

After entrusting Naruto to Liu Yu, Jiraiya winked at Liu Yu and then walked out. Apparently he wanted to talk to Liu Yu about something important.

"Xuan, please 'entertain' your junior brother well and let Naruto get used to it first."

Liuyu first secretly slandered the perverted old man for not paying the bill, and then spoke to Xuan, specifically emphasizing the word "entertainment". After speaking, Liuyu followed Jiraiya.

"Come to me in the clearing in the woods to the east of the city, and I will test your strength first."

Seeing the two people leaving one after another, Uchiha Gen turned his head and looked at Naruto who looked stunned and said, these words were quite like a senior brother. After saying this, without waiting for Naruto to reply, Uchiha Gen immediately left in a flash.

A ramen restaurant.

Looking at the few empty bowls left on the table, Naruto finally felt something was wrong. They... seemed...none of them had paid the bill...

...

The two of them came outside the house and reached the top of a deserted tower in a few jumps.

"Aren't you curious about what I will do during this time?"

Looking at Liu Yu who was following him, Jiraiya, who was leaning on the tower, asked with a solemn expression. After all, it was definitely not a small matter that could make him put down what he was doing and guide Naruto.

"Is it 'Xiao'?"

Ryūha looked at Jiraiya with an expression of insight. After all, since Orochimaru defected to Konoha, Jiraiya has been paying attention to the Akatsuki organization, especially in the past few months, Jiraiya had been involved with Naruto because of the incident.

Itachi Uchiha faced off against Kisame Inogaki.

"Haha! Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you, Xiao Liuyu!"

Jiraiya laughed awkwardly, feeling uncomfortable with the feeling of being seen through everything by Liu Yu.

"Since you know this organization, Xiao Liuyu, you must have dealt with them."

After the embarrassment, Jiraiya regained his solemn expression. Now that Liu Yu knew about the Akatsuki organization, the next step would be much easier.

"I've dealt with people in it."

Liuyu nodded and didn't say much, but he was thinking about whether to tell Jiraiya the information he knew about the Akatsuki organization. After all, relying on the memory of his previous life, he was extremely familiar with the Akatsuki organization. But Liuyu also

He had to worry about whether something unexpected would happen if he rashly revealed the information to Jiraiya.

"This organization has been relatively low-key recently, and it has only become active during this period. After my intelligence investigation on them, I found that their ultimate goal seems to be related to collecting tailed beasts. The two people from the Akatsuki organization I met last time

They also said that their goal is to bring back the Kyuubi inside Naruto."

Jiraiya's expression never relaxed when he said this. He was obviously afraid of such an organization composed of S-class rebellious ninjas, especially since they also set their sights on the tailed beasts that maintain the balance of the ninja world.

"I know, I will protect Naruto during these days."

Liuyu naturally understood the other meaning of Jiraiya's words, which was to protect Naruto from the Akatsuki organization during this period of time.

"In that case, I'll leave it to you, Naruto, while I'm collecting information on the Akatsuki organization."

In the original work, the reason why Jiraiya took Naruto out to practice was not only to enhance Naruto's own strength and to believe that Naruto was the son of the prophecy, but also to protect Naruto personally. However, this time because he met Liu Yu,

You can temporarily free Jiraiya to do something you like, such as igniting the writer's soul in him...

.......

In the woods east of the city.

After emptying his wallet to pay for three guys who ran away after eating, Naruto hurried towards the woods to the east of the city without stopping.

He was also looking forward to a duel with this guy named Soyogen. He had met Soyogen during the last chunin exam, but at that time, Soyogen lost to Soyogen in rock-paper-scissors.

As a result, Souta Akizawa was "miserably eliminated", which also left a deep impression on Naruto.

After all, if he had won the rock-paper-scissors game, it would have been Naruto who faced him in the final match. Moreover, Gen Soyaku was the team leader who won the most scrolls in the last Chunin Exam, and he even defeated

Hyuga Neji is known as the strongest genin in Konoha. How strong is Neji? Naruto has seen him during the operation to recover Sasuke. He is definitely the most outstanding genius of the Hyuga clan.

In particular, this Cang Yexuan has received special guidance from that violent woman. He must be somewhat extraordinary. He must be stronger than Sata Akizawa whom he defeated last time. In this case, let yourself see that

What’s so great about the disciples trained by violent women?

But this guy seems a little different from last time. Did he dye his hair?

While running, Naruto realized something was wrong. Didn't he say that he was waiting for him in the open space in the woods to the east of the city? Why hadn't he found the woods after running for so long? Could it be that he was lost...

.......

"Don't let me down!"

On a giant tree on the outskirts of the forest glade, Gen Uchiha held the tree with his right hand and murmured in a low voice, while his eyes were staring at Naruto running blindly not far away without blinking.

At this time, from the front, you can clearly see three black magatama slowly rotating in Uchiha Xuan's scarlet pupils, and a strange power slowly emerges from his pupils.

Naruto didn't know when he fell into Uchiha Gen's illusion!

As Naruto who was under the care of Ryukyu, Uchiha Gen naturally would not despise him. Although this Uzumaki Naruto looked silly and not very smart, he seemed to contain a strange power that could

Help him get out of adversity at the critical moment...

........

"This feeling? It's really those annoying eyes."

Just when Naruto was falling under Uchiha Gen's illusion and running aimlessly, the Kyuubi inside Naruto frowned.

As a tailed beast that is one with the Jinchuuriki, the Kyuubi naturally knows what Naruto is going through. The first time Naruto fell into the genjutsu, the Kyuubi realized what was going on. But based on the relationship between the two at the moment

, as long as Naruto is not experiencing a life and death crisis, Kyuubi will naturally not respond to him.

Kyuubi, who originally didn't want to pay attention to this matter, quickly discovered something was wrong with this illusion. The feeling of this illusion...

It’s unmistakable, it’s definitely the power of the Sharingan.

Kyuubi, who had been controlled twice by eye skills, quickly reacted. This damn feeling was absolutely unmistakable.
